A new phase of exhibit will be con-
Quoted this year. This new work to be

suit of their work will be indicated by
an exhibit of the children of grades g.

| take place in the open on the school
| grounds. At clock the children will

CAUSED BY WEIGHT or SNOW
Simple Explanation OF Odd Shapes of
Trees, That Has Been Mystery
to Many.

To the person who is not versed in
forest lore the grotesQuely bent tree
trunks that are to be found in almost
all woods are mystifying, and wonder
marks the Popular Science Monthly.
Foresters will tell questiOners that in
the case of trees in mountainous cOun-
try and other sections where the snow
fall is heavy, the weight of snow is re-
sponsible in most instances for the
queer twists they assume. When a
tree is young the weight of snow that
falls on it's branches often bends the
trunk over until it is fiattened to the
ground. Sometimes it is buried under
six or eight feet of snow and held in
that position so long that when warm
weather comes the tree fails to spring
back into it's normal position. The
summer sun causes the tip of the young
tree to turn upward and if it manages
to withstand the weight of the snow of
the next winter, that portion of the
tree will, as a general rule, continue to
grow in a normal way. "Hairpin" bends
and other odd shapes result.
A curious tree stands on the top of
Tunnel hill, Johnstown, Pa, about four
miles from town. 1t is a sugar maple
about one hundred years old which has
prolonged it's own life by grating a
branch into a much younger tree.

BECOMES IRKSOME AT TIMES
Occupation, its Routine Will Oc-
casionally Weary.

Are there times when your work be-
comes intolerably irksome? Yes? Well,
don't jump at the conclusion that you
are in the wrong place when this hap
pens once in awhile That will be true
whatever work you choose. No matter
how we'll adapted you are to your occu-
patton, there will come times when
your thoughts will wander, and the
routine will weary you, and you will
feel that any other work would be
preferable to that which you have
chosen. One of the best-known woman
writer's Of the last generation wrote
an imprisoned warning to literary as
pirants, telling them to do any work,
even scrubbing floors, in preference to
taking up literary career. Undoubt-
edly she wrote at a time when her
chosen work seemed unspeakably irk-
some. but if she had been cornered,
she would probably have acknowledged
that the profession of authorship has
considerable to commend it when COM
pared with scrubbing floors.
This occasional Impotence with our
vocation is inevitable. No matter how
congenial it is, there are times when it
will seem burden. The people who
change their occupation every time it
begins to bore them, are the tramps OF
the business world.

Local Branch of the Good Road
Association of Wisconsin

A meeting of representative bust
ness men met Tuesday night at the
Child High School building and or
ganized a local branch.
Mr.. C. S. Willard the Field Secre-
tary of the association, addressed
and organized the meeting. Off
GERS elected were Mayor Joseph J..
Leary President, Frank Kellogg
Vice President, George w. Doty
Secretary and Treasurer, and an ex-
ecutive committee composed of j..
O. Arthur, D. P. Devine, John Sher-
man, D. A. Mccarthy, and J. M.
Conway.
1t was through the efforts of the
Goods Roads Association that the
State Trunk Highway bill was
passed, providing for the construc-
ton of 5000 miles of Trunk High
way connecting all county seats and
cities of 5000, or more, also the Pa
trail Maintenance and Road working
system.
The present motive is education,
agitation and organization to
arouse public sentiment to force
more legislation, which is the pro-
per source to obtain ADEQUATE high
ways.
1t is hoped that the officers of the
local branch will become active and
. build up the membership. Mass
meetings will be held later.

The Lyric Puts in New Light

The Mazda Incondescent light has
at last been adopted to the moving
picture machine doing away with
the carbon lights.
One of these lights and a new ma
chine has been installed at the Ly-
ric Theatre. This is a great i'm
provement over the carbon lights as
it is, without flicker and does away
with the eye strain, and lessons the
danger of fire.
The Lyric is the only movie in
this part of the country that is
equipped with this new light, as it
has only been in the market a short
time.

Sad NewS.

A recent ruling, made to con- serve the coal being used to manufacture paper, requires all newspapers to cut their supply of paper 15 per cent.
 To do this the department ruled that we must cut off all newspaper exchanges, except tEose in the county or within a radius of forty miles. Also all subscribers who were three months behind.
 Most county papers have been liberal in extending credit. be- cause we know our subscribers and know they are good but the government has made this rul- ing as a war measure to save coal to use in manufacturing war material and you and must
 
 obey the ruling Of course we are glad to do anything to help win the war and if this helps even in a small way, it is that much toward peace with vict- ory."
 We have only a few weeks to collect all back subscriptions and we hope our subscribers will be prompt to send in what they owe us. If you fail to get your credit on the week before Oct. 1st we will be compelled to cut you off till you can settle up.
