AUTO DRIVERS;
BICYCLE RIDERS

This is the season of the year wher
those who drive automobiles and
ride BICYCLES should believe in signs
Complaints have already been com.
ing in of drivers who seem. to for
get that there is a speed limit in
the village. Of course, after so long
vacation, the ordinary man feels
so good over the thought of once
more enjoying warm weather that he
has desire to "step on her" and en-
joy the thrill once more, but he
should try to keep that desire limit
ed to about Is miles an hour, ac-
cording to our signs, at least until
he has passed through the village.
There are so many children playing
in the streets, which of course is no
place for them, and especially near
the schools, that accidents are bound
to happen, and they are much easier
to avoid going Is miles an hour than
at 80 miles an hour.
Although there is not much cause
for complaint, there are still few
boys who would rather ride their
bicycles on the sidewalk than on the
road. Now that the streets are in
good shape there seems no excuse
for this practice. A warning should
be sufficient.

LIBERTY BONDS MISSING

The executor of the estate of
Mathew Henry has been confronted
with rather peculiar situation in
the settling of the estate.s AS the
executor had been associated with
Mr. Henry for several years, both be-
ing employed at the local B. & M.
offices, he was more or less familiar
with his circumstances. The puzzle
he is now trying to solve centers
around certain Liberty Bonds known
to have been owned by Mr. Henry to
the value of $400, and which cannot
be located in any of his effects, or
a statement of any kind showing
where they might be found Mr.
Hooker is very anxious to locate the
missing property, as this would en-
able him to straighten out some re-
naming bills contracted during his
last illness and to erect suitable
memorial over his final resting
place. Every effort is being made
to find someone who might know
something that would lead to the
whereabouts of these bonds, and it
is sincerely hoped these efforts will
meet with success.

SPECIAL DISTRICT
SCHOOL MEETING
IMPORTANT BUSINESS TO BE
TRANSACTED NEXT TUESDAY.

A special meeting of the the legal
voters of the Bradford Academy and
Graded School District has been
called for next Tuesday, April 18th,
to begin at two o'clock in the after
noon at the Town House. The first
business to come before the meeting
will be the election of a school trus-
tee to fill the unexpired term of G
w Carleton, whose resignation from
the local school Board has been ac-
cepted. This matter alone should be
sufficient to call out a record attend
ance.
Article two of the warning, which
is found on page 4, asks the voters to
appropriate sum of money suffi-
cient to meet the expense of max
ing necessary alterations on the
primary school building, which has
for some time been inadequate to
meet the demands made upon it by
the increasing number of children
becoming of school age. For several
weeks there has been an average at
tendance of more than fifty at this
school, and there has not been room
to take care of this number of
pupils as they should be- One teacher
has had more than her hands full in
giving the youngsters proper start
in their educational life, and it be-
came necessary within the last
month to add an additional teacher
to the staff at this school. We under
stand it is the desire of the school
directors to build on another room
so as to better accommodate the
large classes in both the first and
second grades. having them housed
separately and with a teacher for
each grade.
1t is hoped that the voters will be
out in full force and give this mea-
sure their undivided support.

OF LOCAL COURT

At a session of the Justice Court
held in the office of Attorney Hast
ings on Wednesday morning, and
presided over by, Justice T P Frost,
the case of Miles VS.. Hilthon came
up for hearing. AS the defendant
offered no defense, judgment was
given the plaintiff, which was ap-
pealed by Mr. Hilthon, and will next
be heard at the June term of the
County Court. We are informed
that this case is the result of bill
of sale of certain personal property
given by Mr. Hilthon to Mr. Miles at
the time of purchasing the farm on
the upper plain, and of which the
plaintiff claims he didn't receive full
measure. H w Hastings appeared
for the plaintiff, while the defendant
had no counsel at this hearing.

SANCTIONS OF THE U.BoAL. BAN

Iu1E ruthless violation of the so called
L rules of war laid down at the two great
international conventions at The Hague
unquestionably raises doubts Sf the validity
of new pledges Of good behavior. Nations
that are, or think they are, hard pressed
and desperate are presumably capable of
foutinS the most solemn promises.
1t is possible to apply the usual cynic
philosophy to the new Five Power Treaty
prohibiting the submarine depredations and
poison gas in warfare. Arguing from
precedents skeptics can easily prove that the
Root program contained in the pact pre-
scnted to the plenary session Of the Arms
Conference this week is merely one more
worthless proclamation Of hypothetical ma /.
tonal virtue.
such reasoning, however. ignores an ex.
traordinary change OF actual circumstances,
operative since the days of The Hague pro.
tcstations Promises to abstain from sav.
agcry in fighting are apt to be unsubstan.
tial it the conjecturcd methods Of bar.
barsm arc untried.
The German Empire instituted novelties
in cruelty. But they can be- no longer ac.
counted such.
Memory Of the horrors of U-boat piracy
and gas attacks are vivid today. Civiliza.
tion is still experiencing pangs Of shame for
its mcrciless eXccsscs.
Under such conditions the pledges incor.
rorated in the new treaty are Of an un-
preredentcd nature. Any of the five nations
guilty of houting the agreement would auto
matically be branded as reckless and un-
scrupulous hypocrite.
For some years to come mankind will be
in no mood to tolerate such faith breaking
II is the reawakening of public opinion
which supplies the guarantees and the sane
tions which cannot be specifically found in
the text Of the covenant.
These spiritual assurances are not to be
taken lightly. The ban pronounced upon
submarines as commerce destroyers and
upon the use Of lethal gases is In a highly
significant degree an expression Of world
sentiment.
Article VII indicates the machinery
whereby nations in addition to the original
signatories. the United States. Great
Britain. France. Italy and Japan, may CO.
operate. The ideal is. OF course. the adher-
cnce Of every Government on earth to the
pledges. The design is akin to certain fea
lures of the League Of Nations.
1t is futile to speculate upon the chances
of breaches Of faith The most drastic
treaty ever framed is vulnerable to misgiv-
ings
The Root program is the reflection of q
very intense and general sentiment of tho
times. II would have been folly to overlook
this. II is the part Of Wisdom to embody il
in II formal document. infrartions of which
will render any of tue principals n moral
rarah.

SUMNER CLOCK PROBLEMS

TIOPES~ for the continuance of daylight
III saving in Philadelphia tins year are
ibfishtened BY an ordinance already intro
:dpeed in Council by Mr. Wcglein. There
pare indications that opposition in the mu-

1T is questionable. however. whether the
new measure does not defer the operation of
the schedule until too late in the season.
According to this plan. the clocks will be
