This is prosperous year for the
local gardeners. All the vegetables
and small fruit have done we'll in
spite of unfavorable weather condi-
tions. Potatoes, sweet corn and to-
matoes have been better than ever al
though had the recent drought lasted
much longer they would have suffered
greatly. The cucumbers perhaps
were affected by the dry spell as much
as any of the vegetables. The dam
age done by cut worms and grubs did
not amount to as much as was predict
at the beginning of the summer.

member that the law is positive and
unless its provisions are fulfilled by
the parents. prosecutions are sure to
follow The fine that the parent or
guardian is subject to is from So to
$50 and costs and in case of non-pay
ment of same, imprisonment in the
county Jail not to exceed three
months.
