Large Frieehts Each Trip.

The steamer City of Milford is bring
ing larger freights than usual this fall.
The shake up in the crew Of that
steamer has resulted in better order
among both passengers and crew, and
shows the effects Of better business
methods being in force. There is no
sense in the steamboats, OF Milford car
rying freights at the low figures they
are now. There is ample freight for
sll at fair prices. One boat can net
carry all the freight, and the two boa 5
are a necessity. The cheap passenger
rates makes it possible for many per-
sons to get away from home to see
what other parts of the werld is doing,
and they are by such trips learning
to want other lnings.

StaytOnsVllle.

This week we have received a com.
munication signed by N. H. Case, in
which he complains that some one has
been trespassing On~his property and
taking certain liberties with his incu
batOr. But the most serious affrOnt
was in the fact that the party made re-
marx that we're insulting TO his mother.
Cases Of this kind are best settled by
boot, applied in an energetic way to
the seat Of the offenders, and from the
tone Of Mr.. Csse's letter, he will be apt
to administer the remedy should it
happen again.

tory to the growers who desired to sell
from the field but many hundreds of
carloads have been stored in the potato
houses OF Kent and Sussex counties,
for shipment in the winter, when prices
usually are double what they are now.

Il was raised on a cow ranch. lived
like the rest on beef and potatoes,
often eating too much, until my
stomach became so weak and I was
so run down had to quit the job.
Then l tried farming but did got

Grape Nuts being such a wonderful
food, and told my wife l was going to
try it,
so / bought box Of Grape
and by the time l had used this food
two weeks. the weakness began to
leave my stomach.
Now l weigh 1874 lbs. and am as

MIR KENNEDY'S BILL
Superintendent Tinker Will File
 Statement of Extra Work.

Commissioners Chase and Scully of the department of finance had a short talk this morning with Super intendent Tinker of the public schools and Principal Wilby of the high school regarding the bill of MT Kennedy for extra work. The under standing arrived at was that MT Tinker will file a written statement of the case with the committee. There appears to be misunder- standing in some minds as to why the board of education approved the bill, many taking the ground that there was nothing to support 1t ex- cept that he had taught six periods. just as every teacher is obliged to do If necessary, but this is not so. MT Kennedy taught 1SS pupils, which is thirty-three more than the next high est number taught by any of the oth- CT three teachers who think they ought to get something in case MT Kennedy should receive extra com pensation. The committee was ap- pointed to investigate and report and that is all 1t proposes to do. The claim of the other teachers is not be- fore the committee.
