BITTINGER

Early ldSI saturday morning, a
small son of Mr.. Dennis DERRICK, who
was returning from driving the COWS
to pasture, brought home the state
ment that he had seen truck stop
in the road a short distance from the
DERRICK home and three men Chamber
out and deliberately shot yearling
heifer that was grazing by the road
side. The boy says he distinctly saw
the men shoot the animal and hastily
load it into the truck and drive away
in the direction of Accident. The
alleged deed was committed in broad
daylight, but as yet there is no clew
to the identity of the parties and in
deed the story has not been verified
by the owner Of the animal, as it was
pasturing on the range, and it is not
certain that she cannot be found with
other cattle on the property.

Have They Been Vaccinated?

AS the opening of the schools ap-
proaches, the attention of teachers
and superintendent of schools, and
also of parents and of guardians of
young children, is directed by DR.. R.
H. Riley, Chief of the Bureau of Com
municable Diseases of the State De-
partment of Health, to the State law
which prohibits enrolment of any
children in the. public schools of the
State, unless they have been success
fully vaccinated against smallpox
Maryland has been particularly for
tunate," DR.. Riley said, "In having
had very few cases of smallpox dur
ing the last two years, in spite of the
fact that there has been a serious in
crease in the disease all over the
country. But the disease has been
kept under control in Maryland only
by the closest vigilance and by strict
enforcement of the school law. Gust
why there has to be this rigid en-
forcement of the vaccination law can
be better understood > by comparing
the situation in Maryland with that
in other parts of the country where
they either do not require vaccination
or where whatever laws they have in
connection with vaccination are disre-
garded. In every place in which rou-
tine vaccination of young children
and the periodic re-vaccination of
grown ups has been neglected, there
has been marked increase in the
disease, and the outbreaks have been
both virulent and fatal
''The records show that there were
over $1,000 cases of smallpox in the
Unied States, last year, with over
700 deaths. And the only way we
can keep the disease out of Maryland
is by vaccination. The examinations
that have been made during the sum-
mer of the children who will enter
school this fall have shown that not
more than one third of these pros
pective first graders have been vacci-
mated. The rest will have to be vac
cinated before they can be enrolled
IN, hp oh fatn lox
is explicit, throwing the ultimate
responsibility on the teachers. Here
are some extracts from the law:
"No teacher in any of the public
schools in this State shall receive
into such school as pupil any person
who has not been successfully vacci-
mated *If any person shall ap-
ply for admission as a pupil in any of
the public schools Of this State who
has not been successfully vaccinated,
the teacher shall give the parents or
guardian or any other person having
control of such pupil an order direct
ed to any physician in the country or
. city as the case may be and requir-
ing any physician to whom it may be
presented to vaccinate such pupil and
return of such vaccination when sue
cessful to the teacher giving such
order *Any teacher neglecting
or refusing to comply with the pro-
visions of this section shall on con-
viction thereof before any justice of
the peace have jurisdiction over said
offense, be fined ten dollars for each
and every offense."

ReinerSyilIe

Mrs. Frank Fitch of Beverly has
been visiting friends in Reinersville
and vicinity. "A heavy rain and
electrical storm passed over Rein
ersville Monday morning, which was
accompanied by quite bit of hail..
Mrs. Harry Glines has been quite
ill for several days past. The next
meeting of Manchester grange will
be held on Saturday, June u, there
being three weeks between meetings
at this time The Masonic order
at this place had inspection last
Saturday evening". We understand
Oak Grove school in this township
is one of the schools discontinued by
the county board. It seems to us it
would be much better to have all
pupils in the district to attend their
own school and not discontinue it.
This will be quite an inconvenience
to some of the pupils residing in the
district. This is leading up to CEN
tralization, which will not be sue
cess in a hill country, with our
road conditions. There seems to be
quite lot of grape vine? messages
coming in about the discontinuarce
of work on $50, but the good work
still goes on. The grange here
voted at their meeting last Saturday
to hold a grange picnic on Saturday.
August 81. A grange state speaker
will be secured whose name will be
announced later. A daughter nam
ed Marian Jane, was born Sunday
morning at IL o'clock to Mr.. and

several days past. Miss Gladys Gill
liland, teacher in Cambridge schools,
and whose school will close on Fri
day, June 4, will leave for Evans
ton on the day following, where she
will attend Northwestern University,
during the summer months. The
barn on the w. M. Smith farm in
Center township was struck by
lightning during the storm Monday
morning, and was burned to the
ground with the contents. A corn
crib containing near $50 bushels of
corn and a poultry house was also
consumed Quite a number of
chickens were consumed in the poul-
try house. No one was living on this
farm, since Earl Smith had moved
to Reinersville Earl had intended
leaving his chickens on the farm un-
til fall, since they were doing much
better than if moved to Reiners-
vile. Mr.. Smith carried some in
surance in the grange, but of course
it will not amount to the loss.
