One of the Finest
The rain of Tuesday nigbt was one of
the finest of the year over two inches
of precipitation according to the Burl
ington record at this point
One of the severest lightning and
thunder Btorms of recent years accom
panied it but fortunately small damage
is reported from that source
The Wentz dwelling house on the
west side occupied by G W Ludwick
was struck by lightning tut the fluid
passed off the metal comb of the house
and down the soil pipe and little or no
damage was the result
Lightning ran into the kitchen part
of the H M Finity residence on the
wires and caused a fire which how
ever was quickly subdued without
much damage

Not a Hard Times Noise
It dont look like hard times when
you contemplate the sales of one auto
mobile dealer in our city this summer
In conversation with C R Livingston
the Reo prophettbe other day we nscer
tttined that his sales of Reos and Over
lauds this summer totaled 54 machines
and that he could have sold at least
25 more machines if he could have
bought and delivered them For the
past two months it hns been impossible
for him to secure any machines from
the factory so keen has been the de
mand for his popular machines
In this connection it would be well for
those interested in securing one of the
famous 1910 Reos to keep an eye on
these columns for Mr Livingstons Reo

and preparatory in the east Seventh
grade work up will all be done in the
high school building
The rules of the board of education
require all pupils to be vaccinated be
fore entering school It is suggested
that parents have pupils vaccinated at
once
It is desired that all pupils intending
to enter school will do so at the begin
ning of the term
The citizens and public in general will
observe that the compulsory education
law and the child labor law both re
quire all children under sixteen years of
age to attend school all of the term dur
ing which school is in session in the
school district It is our intention to
see that both of these laws are enforced
The state superintendent and labor
commissioner both insist upon these
laws being enforced and obeyed
Parents of pupils entering school for
the first time are very earnestly request
ed to start the little ones not later than
the third week of school as the pupils
would fall behind and possibly become
discouraged if started later
Yours for the efficiency of our schools
Chas W Taylor
