At the last meeting of the Schoo
Board in making, the financial report fol
the fiscal year ending July 31st, th'
County Superintendent submitted the
following statement:
To THE HONORABLE SCHOOL BOARD:
1t is a matter of congratulation that
we have at last been able to liquidate il
full an inGebtness on account of thu
white schools existing for over years,
and leave a larger balance in treasury
than has been the case for some time
Besides repayug the temporary loant
of $4,000 required last year, we can pa.
the balance of 81 800 due on old note
The schools were kept open for full !
months. We spent 81, 407.57 more il
salaries, 1887 more for fuel; 1868 81
more for repairs than during the pre-
vious year. Besides the sinking fund fol
Laurel High School we deposited $30t
in Savings Bank for sinking fund OF
of the HyattsvilIe School.
We spent on colored schools 81, $50 a:
compared with $751; SO in the previous
year. The schools were kept open one
month longer than for the previous
year viz u months; but the Indebtedness
of So 500 was not reduced. Last yea
by shortening the term one month
we were able to apply 5000 to the thel
existing inde btedness.
The cost of books last year was mucl
larger than it has ever been. We spen
81, O52 So for books, $500 for maps O.
Maryland and globes; in addition to thu
ordinary expenses for distribution &C
The appropriation for books is, unde
the change in the law, payable now il
October instead of July; consequently
the balance shown by this account il
much smaller than the balance of las
year.
s. The demand for additional schoo
facilities is still pressing, notwithstand
ing the fact that so much has been dom
in recent years. The increase in teach
ers' salaries me- de imperative by the re
cent act Of the Legislature will requlr'
about $5 600 more than the amount ap
propriated last spring by the Count,
Commissioners, the Act having beef
passed after the levy was made. / trus
the Commissioners will provide thi
sum.
With increased salaries we may b
able to hold our efficient teachers VIII
are constantly seeking positions afford
ing better pay. 1t is impossible to main
tain the schools upon the present stand
ard unless we can secure and hold goo
teachers.
Our three High Schools, the five larg
graded schools, and the many excellen
rural schools in the county afford edu
cational advantages surpassed by n
other county in the State.
Respectfully submitted,

The reports coming in from inspec-
tors of the State Horticultural Depart
ment show that peach yellows is again
becoming abundant in the northern
counties of the Eastern shore and tn at
this destructive disease of peach is still
alarmingly prevalent in the Mountain
reach orchards as we'll as in all north
ern Maryland where growers have not
kept it cut out.
State Pathcloaist J. B. S. Norton says
that only vigorous effort of orchardists
to keep the diseased trees cut out as
soon as the premature fruit appears,
this being the surest sign of the disease,
will prevent the loss of large part of
our orchards.

THE SUBJECT OF ROADS.
To Be Considered at an International
 Congress at Paris in October.

Paris, Sept. 17.-Under the patron age of the French Automobile club an international congress on roads will be held in Paris early in October Delegates from the automobile clubs of various nations have been invited.
 One of the main objects of the congress will be to discuss what all terations in road building should be brought about as the result of motor car traffic, which was quite unfor- seen at the time the roads were built. It is probable that sugges- tions will be made for the construc- tion of special roads for motors, with other parallel roads for ordinary traf- fife. Means of abolishing dust will also be debated.
 The congress is under the patron age of the French government and several excursions will be made by the delegates over roads that have been rendered fit for motor traffic by various methods. The question of road regulations concerning motor

Common Sense
 And A Tablet
Do Away With Dyspepsia, Stomach Trouble and Make Meals
 Pleasure.

When your stomach goes on a strike and mass meetings of fndig- nation are held all over your body. then it is that you should sit up and take notice.
 It is clearly and only a question of common sense-is the thing called Dyspepsia. Take away, by abuse, over eating, eXcesses and high living. the things which the stomach needs and you have dyspepsia and indiges- tion; then other maladies follow Mese this is common sense.
 The stomach is willing enough but you won't let it do it's work You take away the materials which are so necessary for it to use.
 Give back these materials and dys- pepsia and indigestion flee and the whole machinery of man begins slow ly to move and do it's work.
 What the stomach needs is nerve force, fluids for it's digestive glands, nourishment and power All these necessities it takes from the blood. If dyspepsia gives nothing to the blood, the blood gives nothing to the stomach.
 This is common sense also, pure. simple and unalloyed.
 Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets are common sense pressed by high power into tablets. In these tablets are powerful essences which go into the stomach, digest food, stop gas mak- ing, prevent decaying of food. en- rich the gastric juices, are absorbed by the blood and thus give it strength to furnish a better fluid for dfgesting the next meal. Every physician knows what comprises these tablets; every druggist has the same knowl- edge also. They are natural common sense digesters which do the work for the stomach quickly and well. Every drug store carries them, soc per package. Send us your name and address and we will send you a trial package by mail free. Address F. A. Stuart Co, 15O Stuart Bldg, Mar shall, Mich.

the business of the Phoenix Transfer O., owned by Messrs. Troops, Wheat and Stevens, not for the purpose of removing a competitor, but merely because the Lightning Delivery re- quired more equipment and was able to buy what it needed already on the ground and in good working order. With the combined equipment the Lightning Delivery will now be able to handle a much larger business and with greater dispatch, providing one may conceive of anything quicker than lightning.
 During his recent visit to Los An geles Mir. Dobbs employed Ben Beh- ney, for nine years a trusted cm- ploye of the Pioneer Transfer Co. of that city and who is now in charge of certain features of his business. Mir. Behncy has had the widest eX- perience in the handling of machin- cry and is an expert in moving safes, pianos, furniture and in fact all man ncr of cumbersome property that pcrplexes the ordinary truck man. The company has just had built a drop axle, spring wagon, especially for the moving of pianos and is ready to undertake anything in this line of work, knowing it can perform it with the least possible jar to the instrument and without destroying its tunefulncss In this respect the Lightning Delivery expects to en- courage a feud with the piano tuner. He must depend for business on the natural wear and tear of the piano players and not on the awkwardness of the truck man.
 For the convenience of contractors. or householders who frequently de- sire it, the company has established a sand and gravel yard and now has on hand some seventy or eighty loads of sand and gravel which sup ply will be replenished from time to time by teams that are not other wise engaged, and those wanting a load or either can secure it in a couple of hours by telephoning the office. as cheaply as they could send a team to the river after it and wait day or two for it's delivery.
 Another line of work for which the Lightning Delivery is now especially equipped is that of moving tent houses, many of which are in use in the suburbs and the nearby country districts. It has special wagons in fact for almost every kind of work
 The company has also bought the old Sam DonOfrio property on the corner of Jackson and First streets and has transformed it into a ware house. The doors and roof are of iron and the floor of cement. while the walls are brick, thus making a fireproof building
 The messenger service of the Lightning Delivery is to be main tained as usual, offering quick ser vice for the delivery of either mes sages or parcels.

Arthur c. Hulett Found a More Acute Interest in the Valley There.

Mir. and Mrs. Arthur G. Hulett and their little daughter returned yester- day from the coast Mrs. Hulett and daughter have been there since the early summer. Most Of their time has been passed at Long Beach. though Mrs. Hulett has been engaged as usual in the study of music. talk ing vocal lessons under Professor Lott, one of the most famous teach CTS of music on the Pacific coast. The new ideas she has gathered will bee imparted to her numerous pupils in this city. The success of Mrs. Hulett as a teacher of music is due in a great measure to her practice of steadily keeping abreast of her profession, just as successful physi- clans better fit themselves for their professions by hospital work and post graduate courses.
 MT. Hulett has had two vacations this summer. The first was taken when he accompanied his wife and daughter to Long Beach, and the last one of two weeks when he went to bring them back

New York, Sept. 17.-An upward re- action in prices oc stocks in the early part of the day served to demonstrate That large speculative liquidation tvas waiting to take advantage of bet ter prices. A violent relapse from the advanced level was the consequence. The decline was generally accepted in the Wall street district as due to a political scare" although that term was somewhat variously defined
 Advices from the iron and steel trade emphasized the slowness of the recov- cry and another reduction in the price of copper at the New York metal ex- change serve as an admonition to the same effect.

opportunities, which are sadly re- stricted in Southern California. Mcr- chants in all lines complain that the year has been a very unprofitable one and they see nothing encourage ing in the immediate future. They had heard the situation is entirely different in Phoenix and that it is constantly improving. They want to better their condition by coming here. There was also much inquiry re gardinE real estate.
 MT. Hulett spent a considerable part of the two weeks he was there disseminating information concerning the various subjects, and giving ad- dresses of Phoenix people who might give more. He also arranged with the inquircrs to answer by letter all future queries addressed to him as to Phoenix.
