Higbee, returned Thursday night
from his Colorado trip looking the
picture OF health. He reports a most
pleasant time with the generously
good people OF Grand Junction,
where his son is located. Mr.. Higbee,
Jr., has SO far improved in health as
to lead his father to believe him en-
tirely cured OF his tuberculaK symp-
toms. The young man has secured
dn appointment as letter carrier in
ais adopted town and father and
son have given up their former idea
of engaging in the fruit growing
business in Colorado. Mr.. Higbee
brought back with him a number oil

RAIN Is BAD FOR REID

Each summer Shore Road residents
grit their teeth and gnash them over
the dirt and dust that is kicked up
by the passing teams, automobiles
and trolley cars. The grit Is blown
into open windows, settling on every
thing to greater or less degree, until
the careful housewives are driven tt
desperation. Local officials OF the
trolley company are willing to take
preventive measures, but their hands
are not free to do as they please and
their superiors ignore protests and
arguments This short sighted policy
must play havoc with the running
gears OF the cars, and the people
marvel at the Suburban's indiffer-
ence.
klihu Reid is enterprising. He has
solicited the residents of Shore Road
from end to end of the Borough to
give him the right OF sprinkling the
street In a copious way, SO that house
fxings shall not be ruiDedS The resi-
dents along the stEeet haEe caught
on and have almost unanimously
subscribed Tor the Reid Sprinkling
service at the rate OF 15 cents per
week each.
MIR. Reid will equip himself with
capable sprinkling wagon. He will
not contine himself to the Shore
Road, but viii include the roadway
In front of any house on any street
at the price quoted.

steller is confident the total number
OF scholars will this year reach the
900 mark.
One entire grade, the eighth, has
not entered, for the reason that
there is no room for the pupils In the
central building, but provision is be-
ing made for the grade III the Smiths

entered ior the first time. The in.

The damage can be covered by less

The city OF Chicago, H., has been
outdone In the matter OF lawlessness
and right In the very business center
OF Pleasantville. Very few people
can bring themselves to realize that
the Black Hand Society would dare
operate in this town, yet such is the
case.
At any rate the Society has ap-
peared in this town, as the formid-
able object found on the Press door
step on Tuesday morning testified
1t was an Internal machine beyond a
ioubt. In the first place an old salt
sack was bound around an earthen
flower pot. Inside the sack, the per-
son who had the bravery to make ali
examination found, a quantity OF
explosive pro1ectiles. From the bot
tom of the flower pot protruded a
long fuse, which led to small heap
of powder on the top step. Fastened
to the 'sbomb" was placard and an
ordinary palm leaf fan. On the latter
was painted large black hand and
on the placard appeared terrifying
sentence which sent cold chiIls up and

and sent the black Office cat into
