"A rather unusual course of action
was recently taken by the electors of
the Hazel Green school District No.
! l. For the past year no school has
been held in District No of that
township. the attendance being go
small that it hardly paid to employ a
teacher when much better facilities
were offered by high school district
No. l. Therefore during the past
school year an omnibus has called
every morning for the thirteen pupils
and evenings carried them back from
Hazel Green to their homes. Their
tuition was paid by school district
No. 3 and tais arrangement seemed to
be satisfactory to all concerned. A
short time ago District No was
urged by the school board of No. 1 to
continue this daily transportation,
which the district electors at re-
gular meeting decided to do for
period of three years. A short time
after this the electors of No. 1 at a
special NEE ting voted to refuse
admission to the No. 3 pupils. In
view of the sentiment expressed
previously by the school board
1t is hard to understand what their
reason was for discriminating against
Dist. No. 8. Strange things are
done by our citizens at the district
school meetings. said local citizen
the other day in speaking of the &C.
currence to the Herlad.

plain that cut worms and the grubs
are greatly damaging their cron crop
this year. Gardens in this city, even,
are not safe from these pests, the last
nanaed doing the principal damage to
the garden truck. Were it not for
the 1avages of the worms the corn
crop in this county would doubtless
be a record breaker. The cut worm
we are informed confines his opera
tions to early summer and after a
heavy rain frequently disappears, but
the grubs we have always with u.s. :"
They are said to be capable of doing
as much damage at the close of
summer as at the beginning. It is
said by some that the cut worms
