number is greater than two teachers can do
justice to and they expect a second assistant in

Hicks Weather for February. - The
Hicks forecasts for the month of February, as
published in Word and Works, are as follows
"a reactionary storm period which had it's
origin in January will eliminate on the lst and
I'd Of February. The moon is in apogee and at
first quarter on the 1st and storms of this period
will be at their crisis within eighteen hours OF

disturbances will be west of the Mississippi river

storms are passing east of the central valley

Pretty Good Neignbors.-In an editorial
article the Baltimore american says: There
is no reason in the world why Baltimore coun-
ty or its representatives in the Maryland Leg
isature or anywhere else should ever raise a
voice in opposition to a measure which all
agree will prove for the benefit of the city.
That county is today the richest in Maryland
having more than four times the wealth ofthe
second on the list It has more industries,
more population than any other and shows a
far greater annual growth than any other. A
verv large part of these most valuable posses
sions is due to the fact that it has for its near
neighbor the great and generous and good city
of Baltimore, which in its kindness of heart
and sincere friendship does not refuse to allow
some of its population, some of its wealth and
some of its industries to stray across the bor-
der line and find permanent homes under the
countys jurisdiction. So good neighbor GER
tainly has q right to look for fair treatment
and to ask for a reasonable explanation when
it gets the other kind.

from Baltimore county would oppose a city
