Great Bend - Great Bend people are again compelled to travel 25 miles in order to get to Hallstead and back, and Hallstead citizens wishing to do business in Great Bend must meet the same condition. How long are we to be put to this disadvantage remains to be seen. It does seem that some arrangement could be made whereby people could get back and forth to their business without having to make a trip around the world, every day. The bridge contractor states he hopes to have the work completed by the middle of June.

Bradford County - The Women’s Christian Temperance Union has petitioned, Judge Culver, to send delinquent juveniles to church or Sunday school instead of to a reform school. In Williamsport that is what the mayor is doing with some offenders.

Lawsville - The Grange literary program opened with singing “The Little Brown Church in the Wildwood.” Next was a discussion, “Should a good housewife have active interests outside the home?” This was followed by another discussion, “Does the Farmer have more labor savers out of doors than his wife has in doors?” Brother and Sister Philip Wheaton each read an interesting short story. It was requested that each sister bring a hat, with needle, thread and something to trim it, at the next meeting.

New Milford - Gill Chapter, No. 12, Order of Eastern Star, of Great Bend, held a dinner and dance at the Park View Hotel. The dining room was decorated in a red and white color scheme. Red tapers illuminated the tables, which were adorned with red roses and white narcissus. The Worthy Matron’s table was centered with a pyramid cake, on the top of which was a crystal star. Mrs. Myra Eldred, the Worthy Matron, was presented a clock by the chapter.

Birchardville - Rev. and Mrs. Geo. Ogalin met with quite a serious accident when returning from Montrose. When near Elmer Pickett’s home they were run into by a large car coming in the other direction, and their car was badly damaged, so it had to be left by the road until the next day. Glass from the broken windshield cut Mr. Ogalin’s arm, requiring stitches, and Mrs. Ogalin’s face was severely bruised. The other car was not greatly damaged. The slippery road and fast driving seemed to be the cause of the accident.

Rush - Ezekiel Main, not being able to do his farming, has requested his daughter and son-in-law, Asa Carlin, to come and help him with his work. This leaves the Devine farm without a tenant. Anyone wishing to rent this farm, notify Martha Devine, at Rush.

ALSO Mr. and Mrs. Hatton went to Montrose and brought home a box of traveling library books.

A. E. Dlugos. The maid of honor was Miss Fannie Opeka, sister of the groom. The couple will reside in Herrick Center, where the groom is employed.

Thompson - Owing to an increase in the monument business, Crosier and Gelatt found it necessary to have more room for their work. For this purpose E. E. Gelatt bought the garage adjoining his present works, of Mrs Lavina Gulley, and as soon as weather will permit, will make extensive alterations to give them the room required.

Forest City - On Monday night the High School varsity met their neighbors and strong rivals, Vandling High. The game was very systematic due to faultless refereeing. At the end of the first half Vandling was leading 11-9. But our regulars came out of their coma and began putting ‘em in neatly. Davis was again high scorer. One of our finest crowds turned out and we hope that they will continue to do so. Final score was 32 to 16, in favor of our varsity.

News Briefs: It costs more to go from New York to Chicago, now comfortably, than it did to go from New York to Liverpool on the fine old steamship, Spain, first class, years ago. The flying machine will correct that. Men now of middle age will live to read this: “Chicago to New York in three hours, round trip, $25.” ALSO “Plan to plant a tree,” is the appeal made throughout the entire state of Pennsylvania. Evergreens are best handled in the fall or very early in the spring. The whole population is awakening to the fact that the country has been extravagant in removal of the forests and that a conservation effort must be pushed, without delay, for the welfare of the future.
