FoLrz NOTES

Foltz, April 6,-Many persons are
blowing. spraying and tearing up the
earth.
We consider that our government
is wise and judicious in having the
timepieces set one hour in advance
of the sun time, since it gives the
people employed much more time TO
work their "lots" in the evening
Through the courtesy OF our coun-
ty superintendent Of schools, we
had the pleasure of visiting the Tus-
carora school. taught by Miss Kath-
crime Nihi5n, who is teaching her
fifteenth term at that place. She is a
model teacher. and as primary teach
er she possesses qualities that few
can dare claim. If the teachers wish
to see well stocked school in oper-
alton let them call at Tuscarora
school.
