GROWS
The irregular attendance of school
children cost United States $175,-
000,000 a year.
The evidence furnished by health
authorities that the majority of time
children lose from school is due to
correctable physical defects.
Kvery father and mother who is ta

his eventful journey thru the land of
education ‘should see that the child is
physically fit.
Many children whe cause their
parents untold worry can trace their
troubles to the child not being well,
when he entered school.

to school with diseased tonsils, bad
eye-sight, poor hearing etc. as it is
to start on an automobile trip with

LEGAL POINT DELAYS
SALE OF PROPERTIES
Pending the determination of a|
point at law, the Sheriff’s sale of |
the properties of A. L. Hoffman, of
Conoy Township, brother of M. R.
Hoffman, has been continued until
August 9, by agreement of counsel.
Hoffman on Friday filed a deed of
assignment covering property esti-
mated to be worth $35,000.
The point which attorneys will
decide is this: Is A. L. Hoffman a
farmer in the sense of the law? If
it is determineed that Hoffman is
not a farmer, then he will be re-
quired either to go into voluntary
bankruptcy or to be forced into
bankruptey.
