1t Was a Cold Day Too

According to recent article. tha
most forgetful man in the world ran
his sedan onto ferry boat. went in
to the cabin to smoke. and upon
reaching the shore rushed off the
boat without his car. There is an
other story about the carpenter who
went to work without hammer, but
that may be ffcticioIs.
Attorney c. d. Walrod and DR.. F.
NJ. Smith started for Sterling in q
hurry Tuesday morning In Mr.. Wal

legal business to transact. When they
reached Paoli they were stopped, as
call had come from Holyoke to
page Mr.. Walrod After his~depart-
ure his stenographer had discovered
that he had left necessary legal pa
pers lying on the desk in his office.
Mr.. Walrod was not so fortunate az

Baseball HaYnpered
BY Bad Weather

Billy Norman's Cubs are having a
hard time getting into shape for the
league race, which starts April 30.
The Haxtun Tigers came down
week ago Sunday, but no game was
played on account of the storm in
the afternoon; and snow stopped the
game at Haxtun last Sunday in the
second inning
The Cubs play at venango Sunday,
and expect to meet much faster ag-
gregation than hailed from that city
last year.
Pa Marlatt, Floyd Ferrel and Clar-
ence Ditto were busy the middle Of
the week constructing new dugouts.
This will insure the players shelter
from the elements. as well as the
fans. The foregoing sentence may
be construed in two lights, and while
we are discussing shelters, how about
the much-berated ump?

County School Notes

Quite n number of Inquiries arc be

the state inquiring for positions us

situation concerning the supply OF
those desiring positions In our schools
is quite the reverse from that OF
1920.
We desire to call the attention OF
the school boards of the county 10
one very important matter in the EN-.
ployment OF q teacher or teachers

question Of efficiency. No school
board has the right to indlscrimin-
ately hire teacher without first ex.

to teach. The fact that one may pos.

always constitute the qualifications

right to know. and It is your duty ia
examine into the character and NJ.

Ing year. Ask your teacher to re.
main and do not hesitate. some other
board may ask her. knowing the char

Fordscn Tractor
Sales Increase

Although the Ford Motor CON pany
has been increasing the output of
Fordsons daily since the first of the
year, retail sales have maintained
even a greater advance.
April requirements necessitate tho
building of four hundred Fordsons a
day, and production is being increased
as rapidly as possible. This is the
Ford company's largest output since
1919. and 1t is expected that produc-
tioh will have broken all previous
records before the end of the month.
The increased buying OF Fordsons
indicates that the farmers position is
better and also is the farmers's en-
dorsement of the Fordson price-cut,
which created considerable comment
throughout the country.
