and ability that always has been
credited to Mr.. Hale.
The rain of Monday was blessing
to the town. Since the first of June
but one good rain has fallen. Altho
showers were in evidence on every
hand, they passed by on the other
side. All vegetation was parched
and withered. Some damage was
done to the highways but it was of
small consideration, compared to
| the good that was done. A gentle
shower at the beginning prepared
the earth for what was to come, and
averted what might have been
serious disaster, when later the storm
came with force.
Harry Barnet, instructor of French

TWO WOMEN BADLY HURT

Horse Frightened by Automobile
ana Threw Them From Carriage
While driving over Hurlburt Hill
in Waterford last Thursday after
noon, Mrs. Nettie Fisher and Mrs.
George A. Wilson were seriously in
jured. On their way up the hill they
met a large limousine belonging to
Herman Durcum of Philadelphia.
The chauffeur stopped the car, but
the horse which had never been
afraid of anything, took fright at
this most inoppOrtune time Both
women were thrown from the car
riage and were badly bruised, Mrs.
Fisher receiving a scalp wound two
or three inches in>length which nee
essitated taking several stitches.
The horse ran for some distance and
when found it's feet had been so
badly cut by the broken carriage
that it was necessary to kill it.
The women were brought to town
and were treated by DIR. Cramton.
Although no blame was attached to
the tourists it is understood that
they were quite anxious to settle
with the injured women.

REUNION ST. j. A. 1910
Miss Ethel McGi1 Elected President
and Elizabeth Walters Secretary

Last Wednesday evening the class
of St. ]. A. 1910 celebrated their
three-year reunion at the Academy
building, Is members of this class
with DR.. M. G. Benedict as guest of
honor, being present. A very de-
licious banquet was served in room
2 at eight o'clock. The table were
very prettily decorated with ferns
and black-eyed daisies. Black and
Orange being the class colors these
flowers were very appropriate. At
ter the banquet the guests adjourned
to Chapel Hall where dancing was
enjoyed, Madam Brooks orchestra
furnishing the music. During the
evening a class meeting was held.
Miss Ethel McGill was elected Presi-
dent of the Alumni of this class and
Miss Elizabeth Walters Secretary.
1t was voted that every member of
the class keep Miss Walters in
formed of their whereabouts so that
another reunion might be arranged
for more easily. Incidentally Miss
Walters will serve as a bureau of
information for those wishing to
know the addresses of their class
mates A vote of thanks was given
Miss McGill for making this reunion
a possibility. It seemed good to all
present to be enjoying once more a
Social Hour at the old Academy.
Their only regret was that more of
their members could not be present.
Another reunion for next summer
was suggested and it is hoped that
by keeping this in mind there may
be a much larger attendance at that
time. Many of those who was un-
able to come sent letters, all of
which we're most welcome. All
present agreed that this, their first
reunion, was a great success and ex-
pressed the wish that they might
have many more.

Why grasp at the stores when
sometimes the best and simplest
things are near at hand. This is yer,
true in mastering things in the cul-
mary art. Why be anxious TO make
souffles. until you can make a per

toast? Why insist upon learning
how TO make puff pastry until sim
PIE. plain, flaky pastry is easily and
quickly made? Il is not the unusual
things in cooking, which give us the
reputation for being cooks, but doing
the everyday, three-timesa-day meals,

exists among many people, Is that the
so-caIled wealthy families live all the
