He said the farmers were just commencing to sow oats a little in his locality, but he noticed nearly all of ’em at it down through Barkley, along “Wall Street,” and that a larger acreage than usual seemed to be the rule. This to quite an extent perhaps was due to the small acreage of wheat sown last fall. The Methodist church is planning j for one of the greatest Easter Sun-! days ever held.

During the month of March this year 22 persons were killed in New York City streets by automobiles according to the report of the National Highway Protective society. Nine of them were under 17 years old. During the first quarter of the year 85 persons were killed in New York by vehicles, 58 of which were by automobiles. Of the total number killed 33 were children. It is indeed surprising, the are permitted to play in the streets 4f Rensselaer, that we do not have some fatalities of this kind here. Parents should look after their children better and not permit them to do their playing out in the middle of the streets, where teams and automobiles are passing at all times.
