Special to TimeS-RepuDllcan.
Northwood, Nov..5-There has been
about eighty cases of influenza re-
ported in Northwood to date, and none
of them have been fatal, and only Two
were serious. School will be delayed
another week at least, as quite
number of cases developed the last
week. t-
The improvements at the electric
light plant are nearing completion. "A
new 125 horse power engine and three
new generators have been installed.
Other improvements have also been
made. During the installment Of the
new machinery one set of generators
have supplied Northwood and Ken
sett with light and power. with prac-
tically very little Inconvenience. there
being only a short shut down for OIL
ing. When completed Northwood and
kensett will have as good light and
power system as will be found any
where in the country, for towns OF
their size. Manager Perry does not
at this date know at what time they
will inaugurate the continuous ser
vice.
Corn husking in this section has
been going on extensively the past
two weeks considering the great short
age Of help. .A-.few Of the farmers
have finished, but the large growers
have only started. Corn is running
from fifty to seventy bushels to the
acre and is of excellent quality. There
are a goodly number of cattle and
hogs in the country. and indications
point to n very prosperous year for the
farmers in this section.

authoritatively that American air
operations have not up to this time
gone beyond attacks upon purely mill

In view Of the repeated German
raids on dcfenseless towns in France,
England and Belgium and on hospitals
observers here do not believe the Ger

the allied governments.

UNCLE JED'S TALK TO WIDE
 AWAKES.

Have you ever heard the saying 'SThe finest goods arc done up in the smallest parcels?"
 This may make you think of the storelSeeper. but Nature was doing up her bundles in fine style before man really knew what a parcel was.
 She was doing up thousands of dol iars in diamonds, rubies and pearls,
 You know the Saviour calls our at tention to the fact that little mus ard seed produces a tree in which a bird may build it's nest a small parcel of wonderful results.
 What ;s this to doing up a great cedar tree which lives 5000 years and grows 7s feet in girth and 25O feet high, in a seed not so large as a wal nut?
 You never noticed poppy seed be- cause to see that 1t is in shape like with lines requires a magnifying glass and shouldn't dare tell how many seeds might be produced from one Several thousand, l know.
 The poppy seed is a tiny parcel but 1t produces a large plant and a pretty flower, sometimes as many as twelve pn s plant and the plant is T million times as large as tho seed. The seed pod is as much a work Of art as thC flower and when it dries it changes into a machine like sprinkler will several holes at spaces below it's brett. Id. and then when the winds tear i about and buzzeF through it, whiTl out the seeds and whirls them in great circle yards away.

find and carried them to school. Then we found out the names of all the diff ferent kinds that we did no. know and pressed them in large books Af- ter they had been pressed We mounted tacm on white paper and hung them up in the schoolroom.
 The flowers were fastened on the paper with eTe' book menders which could not be seen a little ways off We wrote the names of the flowers on the paper. There were about 65 kinds of flowers. Some of them were the golden thread, gentians, fall as ters, ladies tresses. turtle-head, wood- betony and trillium.
 Gold thread is a very pretty wild plant. The stem is very slender and is the color of gold. It has a small white blossom which grows about 3 or inches apart on the stem. It wines very tightly around other objects that happen to grow in its way. This plant srows in wet places.
 The collection was made in the Hast of September and I think We found quite a large number for tha. yfme of the year Next spring we shall try to finish our collection and keep a record ofsthe flora in this locality. The mounted flowers make very pretty and dainty decorations for the schoolrcom s' ELSIE Al FREEMAN, Age 13. Hanover.

The Autumn caves.

Dear Uncle Jed; It was fine day in autumn, The wind blew hard and made the leaves fly off the trees. Tine leaves danced around in the air. They seemed to he having lot of fun. My sister and I were knitting hy the win dow. Sometimes we'd look up to watch them. Then we decided to yo uut- side,
 We put on our coats and hats quickly and ran to get the rakes, In a few minutes we each had a large pile of leaves. We called them our snowdrifts,
 When We had made several Of these snowdrifts, we would take long run. I2Nd all of sudden fall right down,
 but the wind soon spoiled our fun by blowing the leaves away.
 Then We Taked the leaves again.
 This time into g long TOW, which was just about three feet hign, four feet
 wide, and ten feet long Now the greatest fun began, When We started tu roll in the leaves, from one side of the long row tn the other, we got 90 dizzy that we ceuldn't walk for 3. while without falling down. Just then. a, gust of wind came Up
 and blew away the leaves. We watch ed them for about a half hour, then
 we picked the prettier ones to bring home, We had little express wagon fuli. Some of them we drew and oth CTS We pinned to some kites. These kites are quite pretty and ] like to sail them in the air, My sister and have made several of these kites and when we are lonesome we go out end sail them. And when we coiae 1 back we can do our work a good deal
 quicker, easier. and better. This is a good exercise, believe me. 1 SOPHIE GASKA. 1 Jewett City

September.

The month I like best is September. One of the reasons is thae my birthday comes in this month. The weather is usually very nice, following July and August, which are the hottest months of the year.
 During September most of the fruits and vegetables ripen ami county fairs are held so that farmers and others can exhibit the products If the farms and orchards.
 This is the month that people do most of their canning and preserving Housekeepers do their faII cleaning in September.
 September is the ninth month of the year and has thirty days The golden-rod is yellow. The corn is turning brown. The trees in apple orchards With fruit ars bending down.
