Among the Democratic inno-
vations at Oxford in recent years is
the opening of the summer vacation
lectures to workingmen students.
The board of education makes a
grant for that purpose, but during
the past summer the grant was in
sufficient and many of the university
tutors generously gave their services
free.
The four large ten hundred ton
engines belonging to the Delaware &
Hudson railroad, which have been in
the round house, Honesdale, since
last spring, have been taken over
the Moosic to Carbondale. The two

The electric railway operating
between Seattle and Tacoma out on
the Pacific coast is probably the fast
est running suburban line in the
country. 1t has recently further re-
duced the time of it's limited trains.
Train orders on this line are de-
to save time in the delivery of or
ders the station men are now de-
livering many orders by means of a
wire loop, the conductor catching the
loop at high speed.
-Hardtack is about to be almost
eliminated from the rations of the
| American soldier. Field bread will
take its place, except as an emer-
gency ration. At the big Texas man
euver camp scores of new things
have been tested, and many new
theories have been tried out and
conclusions reached that may work
revolution in the conduct of mill
tary affairs. Field bread is like the
fresh bread that has always been
made for the troops except that it
is of finer, porous structure and is
covered with a thicker crust. 1t
keeps fresh for a week or 10 days
Hardtack will still have a place as
place as part of the rations, but it
will be used much less than in the
past.
-JudgepA. 7. Searle, of Homes
dale, won out for the judgeship nom
nation in Wayne county, by about
500 majority over E. C. Mumford
This will be good news to the judges
many friends in Susquehanna, as he
has been frequently seen on the
bench at Montrose the past couple
of years. He is an able Judge and
should be elected by a handsome ma
jority. M. e. Simons was also the
Republican nominee for district at
torney. Some of you readers will re-
member Simons. A fine fellow.
Used to live in Montrose, and was a
law student in the office of Blakes-
lee & Davies. He'll make a good
man to look after Wayne county's
evil doers, and goodness knows they
need somebody that is tireless and
can't be Independent
Republican, Montrose.

! of Mr.. and Mrs. Horace Hoyle, Car
