Levy Court Resurfacing
Depot Road

With the first signs of clearing
this morning, the Levy Court be-
gan work resurfacing Depot Road.
The tar preparation was quickly
spread and a shovel gang of suffi-
cient proportions to spread the
crushed stone expeditiously made
record speed on the job.
A few unfortunates who were
compelled to travel before the
stone was spread and the doubly
unfortunate pedestrians who must
cling to the sticky edges while
irate motorists pass, were not in
jovial mood today-and the
otherwise welcome sun doesn't
help the situation any.
The proposed sidewalk along
Depot Road is longed for ardently
especially after a pedestrian is
"beaned" by flying pebble or two
cast off by passing machine.

Miss kellas Urges Teachers to
Make Free Use of Cur

Miss Eliza Kellas, principal of
the Emma Willard School for
Girls, Troy, n. w. addressed the
young women of the Summer
School on Monday morning, Civ
ing them some valuable sugges-
tions from her rich experience in
dealing with students. She ad-
dressed her remarks particularly
to the country teachers telling of
numerous methods by which
pupils may be Influenced in. the
right direction and what rewards
come to the teacher in the success
Of pupils set Alright and inspired
by her influence.
The practical side of teaching
was dwelt upon to some extent.
She urged the teachers to keep
alive to world events and to make
the usually humdrum tasks vital
and full of meaning by connecting
them up with current history and
local events. Delving into the past
has little value except in the light
of its infunece on present day
problems.

Wheat Crop Almost
A Total Loss

The unprecedented period of
wet weather coupled with the heat
prevalent during the whoIe time
has ruined practically the entire
wheat crop in this locality accord
ing to the testimony Of farmers
hereabouts, few Of whom had done
their threshing.
One farmer has torn open sew
eral shocks Of wheat and found
that every sheaf except one had
sprouted. AS a result the entire
crop will be good for nothing ex-
cept chicken or hog feed. In view
Of the increased acreage due to
guaranteed high prices, the loss is
enormous.
The oats which in most cases is
still standing will likewise be a
loss, for the driving rains have
shattered the grain from the
stalks.
Little damage was done to other
crops apart from the washing in
some fields. Corn has grown per-
sistentey and it is thought that lit
tie if any damage will be done to
tomatoes and potatoes unless the
sun should shine forth sufficiently
hot while the green tomatoes are
still wet, to blister them.
