Vacation days are getting fewer and
fewer, and for the school pupils have
come to an end entirely, the schools hav-
ing begun the term Monday morning.
Young folk attending school and colleges
at a distance are counting the days when
they shall haye to pack up and leave the
pleasant home comforts and delights and
again delve into the study work. The
contemplation is not the pleasantest thing
in the world, but the summer has been
a beautiful one, fraught with many joys,
and as these cannot always be present the
smile and cheer must, or should, remain.
There are other summers and other va
cations coming, besides n must be
thankful for what fun one has had.

tract has been let for the work, as It

The Weaver garage OIL Main street, OF
Oil City, was badly damaged by a fire
that was discovered about 4 a. IN. Sun
day. Fourteen cars owned by Oil City
people, valued at from 81, 1900 to 5000
were damaged, some beyond repair. The
majority were insured. Among those
who had their cars stored in the building
and which were more or less damaged,
are VIM. b. James, Jas. G. Kahle, George
Stubler and E. Wilder. The Browniekar
owned by Joseph Stubler, was a great
loss to the owner. 1t was the pretty little
machine which the lad won in the pop
ularity contest" insugurated by Smart 4
Silberberg a few months ago. The loss
on cars and building is approximately
$40, 900. Fire started by explosion of a
gasoline tank in a car brought in for over
night storage.
1t is stated that an increase of two
cents is to be made in the near future in
the fee for the registration of letters and
mail packages. Announcement was
made yesterday by Postmaster General
Hitchcock. The decision followed an ex-
tended inquiry into the registry system
by a special committee. 1t is understood
10 ha NJ uitohoOoLo,s purnoaa IN talk
up the registry system first in consider
ing all branches of the postal service for
reorganization wherever greater eff
cheney and less expenditures may be
effected. By law the Postmaster General
is authorized to make the registry fee as
high as 20 cents. The registry service is
the most expensive of any rendered by
the department, owing to the precautions
taken to secure quick delivery and abso'
lutte safety in the transmission of regis
tered parcels.

issue has this reference to some of our
former Forest county people: "E. S,
Collins had a large force of men at work
on the road at Ostrander cutting and
grading along the foot of the bill just
north of the compsny's store. When the
work under way is completed the new
road will join the county road below
Roots place. This will give an easy
grade in place of the WI hills at present
