County Superintendent Wright states
that the following teachers in the Har-
ford corps have completed the State
Teachers Reading Circle course: Misses
Ida and Ethel Curtis, Clara Sn ithson
and Grace Black. This is a selected
course. partly professional and partly
literary, which is we'll calculated to de-
velop the character and professional skill
of the individual.
That the crops have yielded an
abundant harvest is attested by the fact
that there have been no recent meetings
of the Deer Creek Farmers Club. Natu-
rally the members. being progressive,
have had all that they could attend to,
but the busy time has now about passed.
Hence(orth their monthly sessions will be
looked forward to with interest both by
our readers in this county and elsewhere.
Throughout the state comes the re-
port that the Democrats are organizing
local clubs. SO far. we have heard Of
none i'll Hartford. No doubt the busy
s.ason has interferred with any move
mcnt in this direction, and we feel assured
that our workers will soon commence to
hustle for that big Democratic majority
that Hartford always gives. They should
remember, however, that we all have
promised to make it few more hundred
than usual, so let's get to work.
This is the time of the year that the
thrifty farmer sees we'll to his fence rows.
Weeds and bushes cut during the latter
part oc July and early August are more
apt to be destroyed than if cleared up at
any other time. 1t is we'll to remember,
however, that the refuse should not be
allowed to fall in the road cutters and
clog them up. The best way is to let the
sun dry out the sap and then big bon
fire will do the rest. If this work is sys-
tematically followed year after year, a
good set of grass will ultimately replace
these unsightly ornaments.
The County Commissioners have re-
ceived communication from the Havre
dc Grace authorities saving that the Of
fer of So, 500, conditioned that the Level
route he chosen, was the only offer that
they feel justified i'll making towards
helping the proposed road improvement.
The Board is still holding this ultimatum
under advisement and will probably
finally dispose of the matter at the meet
ing next Monday. In connection with
this Improvement, State Road Eng ineer
Johnson has given the cost hy the Aldino
route as being $50 407.10 and Level
$:23, t7410. Ii will thus be seen that
The difference in the cost is very slight.

Of Wann Post. Forest Hill, has received
