One of the important develop
ments at the meeting of the Board of

been so much neglect in the matter
of sheep inspection, resulting in the
spreading of the disease scab among
the sheep, which is infeotious. The
Board decided to appoint competent
inspectors, who will begin the work
at once of inspecting the sheeo
throughout the state, and a strin
gent system will be adopted to
eliminate the disease from the
fiheep.

If parents, especially the moth
ers, could be made to realize the
danger in allowing their little sons
and daughters to play about the
streets, on Main street in particular,
it would be a great blessing to
merchants and tradespeople gener
ally, to say nothing of tbe good to
result to the child itself. School
children should be compelled ' to go
direct home after school hours,
unless they have business up town.
For them to idle about Main street,
enter stores and shops, handle all
sorts of good 8 lying about, stand in
the way of busy customers and
block the way for hurrying 'clerks
are annoyances for which mothers
are responsible and of which there
ehould be an end. If a child takes
to petty thieving or other bad hab
its, the mother has no one to blame
but herself, for a small child roam
ing the streets is certain to become
more or less a street arab an 1 to
acquire habits of speech and - man
ner the effect of which may never
be erased from its nature.
