school for the first months work came
in last week. Owing to delay IN get
ting the central building fitted up for
school, there was delay of three
weeks in opening in that township,
thus making their reports three weeks
late. In the Central building there
were enrolled 156 pupils, SO boys and
68 girls. These schools show an av-
erage daily attendance Of 81 u per
cent with but four tardy marks. The

in attendance; Miss Bauman's 3rd and
4th grades had one tardy and a daily
attendance of SO per cent; Mr.. Fixler's
5th and 9th grades had two tardy
marks and SO per cent of attendance;
in Mr.. Wuchter's grammar grades the
daily attendance was SO per cent with
no hardness. One school outside the
central building with an enrolment OF

the central school.
The Wadsworth township school fair
held at the centralized building on Fri
day, Oct. 20, proved to be great sue

pupils had only short time to pre-
pare, nearly every one of the one hun
dred and fifty-eight enrolled was rep
resented in some exhibit. There were
many fine displays and some that were
said to be fully as good as at the coun-
ty fair. The exhibits were composed
of garden and field products, fruit and
canned goods, baked goods, sewing.
weeds mounted, diseased plants, com
positions and writing. The apple

Liverpool township centralized
schools gave their first annual fair
and school exhibition on Friday, Oc-
tober 20, at the high school building.
The display of apples, vegetables and
other farm produce was so fine that it
put the county fair to shame, while
the exhibits of school work in all the
grades were such as to bring a feel
ing of pride to every patron of the
schools. People from outside the dis
trict pronounced it the finest school
fair they had ever attended. Almost
the entire township turned out for the
evening and all the rooms were packed
with a dense crowd Of people. 1t is
estimated that fully 500 people were
present. Music was furnished by the

Following reports from Pctrograd
that Austria had maze advances to Rus
sia through Swiss diplomats, dispatches
from Geneva suggested that Turkey
was about to take similar action.
Tna Turkish minister Of finance was
declared to be in Switzerland by these
dispatches, which asserted that he
probably intended to sue for peace
through the Swiss diplomats.
From Rome came dispatches stating
that both the Russian and Turkish
ambassadors denied that any attempt
was being made by Turkey to negotiate
a separate peace. In diplomatic circles
in London there was also a disposition
to discredit the reports from Petrograd,
but tne sudden preponderance Of re-
ports that Germany's allies were suing
