School Man Leaves.

Stratford Courier: Saturday night
Supt. G. w. Hansen, of the local
schools. was elected superintendent of
the schools at Essex. Almost at the
same hour the local school board
elected a superintendent to fill his
place here. People here universally
regret Supt Hansen's determination
not to remain here another year
although he was unanimously elected
for the position for another year.
Supt Hansen has done wonderful work
in the Stratford schools during his
three years here. In fact, the past
three years have been the most sue
cessful ones in the history of the
schools. He is a good instructor. a clean
and strictly moral man and in every
way fitted to have charge of the edu-
cation of the young minds. During his
term here the schools have become ac-
credited which was largely due to his
efforts. Stratford does regret his de-
cision to leave but all are of one mind in
wishing him and his every success in
their new location. success which his
untiring work will surely merit.

Legion Play Given.

Jewell Record: The four act drama.
"The Iron Hand" given as home
talent play by the American Legion
Post of Radcliffe, under the auspices
of the Legion of Jewell, at the Lyric
Monday might. drew only half a house,
the proceeds being about 500. The
local post received 40 per cent of the
receipts and paid the local expenses
out of that, so did not make very much
money out Of the entertainment.
The play itself was fine one and
was very capably rendered. The nine
characters presented their parts in a
very acceptable style and we have
heard none but words of praise for the
Radcliffe amateur thespians.
The Jewell Legion Post may later
undertake to stage some sort of similar
effort to raise additional needed funds
to help finance tic new post.

measure, the Land Titles Bill, was
Withdrawn. Two others We're allowed
to expire unhindered when it was found
that they were not in accord with eX-

states, while two were
beaten in fair, open contest.
One Railroad Bill.
The bill requiring railroads to build
and maintain spur tracks fM the use
of cooperative elevators, warehouses,
lumber yards, etc, where needed. was
not altogether pleasing to the railway
interests. And while some opposition
developed it was not particularly SER
ious, and eventually the bill went over
the top with votes to spare.
The serum bill experienced hard
all the way. One of the earlier
bills introduced, it was about the last
to get thrOugh-was passed, in fact,
the day before the lawmakers adj
journed. Its progress was slow and
and it was made the target
for innumberable amendments, by both
friends and foes, especially the latter,
who were as determined to deprive the
