 Ed Clark, we'll and favorably known member of the S. A. A. baseball con- ittee, and who now and then tries his hand at the piscatorial art, was the star performer in little sketch staged Saturday afternoon near Faulk. ner's dam. Ed, after expertly guiding his silk line and attached gut con- neoted hook about in the turbulent waters for some time, was suddenly thrilled as only a wopper trout can thrill when he "stows'' the fly, hook and line. Ed. to make the verse brief, finally got the grandfather of the trout clear of the water, only to see it go Hopping back. Ed says if ever man was in misery it was him when he saw that trout going back. Great, then, was his joy when he saw that the "whale" was caught between. two rocks; and here it was that climax of the sketch was just about reached. Ed went in after him. He got hold of that fish's tail and walloped about on his stomach. He had his rain coat on, but he got wet He had hip boots on, but his socks got wet. He landed the fish, though. It measured IA inches and weighed just a pound. "Pete' Reynold is mounting it. It will soon be on display in Joe Brunnelle's. Take a look. Clark also landed nine. incher that day.

With this petition resting quite heavily with the board and it an unquestionable fact that several of the mem bers are in favor of super vision, it seems to be more or less, of a safe prediction that the 'yes" votes at the meeting will outstrip the "no. ' The duties of a superintendent are of shape that insures a uniform standard of efficiency in all the schools of the town. Teachers will be obliged to literally "toe the mark" as regards the efficiency of their pupils. With the rural school grades doing the same and like amount of work as the grades in the other schools, it can be seen that when it comes time for en- trance into high school all will be on an equal footing. At present some of the rural schools are not turning out as competent graduates as the other schools.
