NOTICE TC BANKERS
Notice is hereby given that
The close of the regular school
i term is always a good time to
take a sort of retrospective su •
vey of the educati mul status, a i
i inventory of all resources, a
thoughtful weighing of all mat
tors related to our progress. P •
trop may well congratulate her
self on the advance made th.
year just closing, for under • u
ih lintendency of Pr lessor F P
Shanks and his Principal, P. A
Koenig, with the entire faeulp.
In: schools of our town have ju-t
finished a most sueeesstul a id
encouraging session. The Com
mencemtnf exercises were com
plete in arrangement and detail,
doing justice to all grades and
marking development in all the
children along all lines. The
s.-Jiool board has :Ju>wn a spirit
of entcrnrise and w—rthy an bi
tion by cooperating with the Su
I erir.tendent, his faculty, the
\lothcrs Club and every other in
| lluecce for the good of the in--.fi
t.ution. Hence it results in added
i facilities, not only inside the
i building in chemical apparatus,
'maps, piano, victrola, etc., but al-
so on the playground there are
up to date equipments and be
ginnings of tree growths, to say
nothing of the modern drnikir g
fountains placed pV re so long
that they have become a matter
of course. Perhaps it is not say
ing to3 much to declare that the
ntire educational torc< ol the
town of Hastro,. v. as never so
well mobilized for real service as
now and it behooves iiv ill to r •
joice in prospect o > gn it«*r

glad that he is to remain at the
helm another term and in cop
fidently predict still greater pro
gress in educational matters as
months roll by. He and Prof
Koenig with their respective lam
, dies are valuable assets to any

glad that they remain to guide
and govern school matters flip
next term, which promises to
bring even better results oil ac-1

WELL, IfEKK'S SOMETHING interesting in
that connection.
RECENTLY WE MADE a little investigation —
comparison between the hearings wc use in Reo
the Fifth and hearings used in other so-called
"live |)assenger" cars selling for ahout the same
and lower prices.
NOW TilKUE WASN'T 25 TKIl CKNT difference
in price between the lowest and Keo—not ten
per cent in the ease of some others. But—
WE DID FIND—and it surprised us too, even as
it will :i*tonisli you—that. Reo herrings were not
only "5(1 per cent oversize"—f>0 per cent great-
er in e:irrying capacity according to the makers'
own sfandaids and estimates—but that, in prac-
tically every case, the difference was an 2 is to
