the United Press:
II find it difficult to believe that
anyone asserted such a false and

time or place have I ridiculed the
forest service with regard to the for
est fires.
II do not even recall ever having
mentioned the service in connection
with forest fires unles it was in com.
mendation. I do not recall express
ing myself one way or another in the
recent past regarding the fires, ex-
cept to express the hope that they
would soon be extinguished. Who
ever made and circulated them ought
to know that it can only be charac-
terized properly by the short and

All Teachers Re.elected

The announcement hat all of the
teachers of the Edge6eld Graded
School have been reelected for an
other session will be pleasing infor-
nation to the patrons of the school.
In addition to the six teachers who
have labored so faithfully in the
past, Miss Lille May Bailey has
been elected for the next session,
making seven teachers in all. Edge
field is peculiarly blessed in having
such a strong corp of conscientious,
painstaking, efficient teachers. We
seriously doubt if any other town in
the state oflikesize has such excellent
graded school advantages as Edge
field. These faithful teachers can
not be commended too highly for
their services. Parents, when you
chance to meet these ladies tell
them how you appreciate their work
as teacher. 1t will encourage them
and stimulate them to do even bet
ter next year.

When Mr.. Henry Hughes Hill
came from Idaho early last fall he
brought a peck of ~seven-top wheat

and climate are suited to its growth.
Those who have seen the wheat es-
innate the yield at about,4O bushels
per acre, but, of course, like all 9th

drought. The outcome of Mr.. Hills
experiment will be watched with
interest.
