The huckleberry crop has been ven
profitable to those who have been gath
ering them, and the quality was never
better than it is this year.
The wheat crop so far as quantity is
concerned is very small. but the grade is
certainly of the very best, and those who
have wheat threshed get even more than
they expected from the amount of straw
but even at that it is a losing PROPOSE
ton as a money crop for the growers.
Zach Ratley was IS years old last Tues
day and he has lived to see family of
children grow up to be useful men and
women, His boys and girls all know how
to work and work we'll.
Several of the young men who came of
age and registered in June are preparing
to leave for service in the army, and they
kYill get opportunity to see and do things
on broader scale than they ever would
in this vicinity.
There are people around the vicinity of
Staytonville who devote most of their
time to riding about the country and sit
ting on goods boxes at the stores in this
and other towns. These are the ones
who raise boys to carouse, drink and play
cards, follow gambling games, and do
things which are lowering for the public
morals. These people are the ones who
slander and destroy the reputation of
women by statements which are simply
lies, and hurt their general reputation.
This class of people is the kind which
scatters German propaganda, and should
be called down by all right thinking peo-
pie. Just ask them for direct authority
for any statement, by giving names of |
who told them, etc, and they are COM |
PEELED tof
The dry parched pasture fields which |
cover the northern part of Sussex County
at this time are great contrast to six
weeks ago when the green grass in which
COWS and pigs fed formed pictures of
content and prosperity. Now the animals
AN hnd nothing in the fields in the shape
u feed, and must be fed from provender
which would not be used otherwise than
iext winter.
When many women folks are seen
bout the homestead where wheat thresh-
ng IS in progress, it is certain that there {
ne table at noon will be richly laden
Vlth chicken potpie, delicious vegetables
no rich deserts, all grown and produced
pom the farm. The day of the old fash
oned wheat threshing is about passed q
5 the threshers do so much work in a i
mort time that they seldom stay a whole
ay in one setting. t
The road overseers must give the roads Il
eween here and Greenwood attention
IN several places the hedgerows have P
ncroached upon the roadway, and II is N
OF only unsightly, but dangerous for
avel. If each farm owner would keen h
is hedgerows along the public road N
owed and the bushes cut, it would
'eatly help the looks of the whole com D
unity. n
DIR. Pepper reports that he raised 30
lshels of wheat per acre this year. Il
up to the present no teacher for the
edmans Public School, Staytouville III
IS been employed, and the people are h,
ping that thoroughly competent
acher may be secured for the next nj
hool year. More money will have to be
paid for teaching than was paid last to
ar, and it can not be hoped to get auv or
lcher for less than $50 per month for
E eight months school term. pl
