Heat: Lightning. When the distant horizon is brilliant^ iy illuminated with dashes of light on warm summer evenings old residents will explain that tt is caused by "heat lightning.’' Heat lightning fa really the reflec­ tion of ordinary lightning. Afar off there is a thunderstorm. Light travels at Bometblng more than 180,000 miles a second, while thunder travels slowly through the air and soon becomes in­ audible to our ears. It is this light re­ flected upon the clouds or "mist near the' horizon which we see and call beat lightning. Sometimes vivid dis­ plays of northern lights, or the aurora borealis,. are erroneously called heat lightning. There is, therefore, no such thing as beat lightning, and this should proper­ ly be called "distant" lightning.—New York World, W e intend to lead during the y ea r 1915 by a lw ays selling fo r less Seal Shipt Oysters ‘Sealshipt’ Oysters Cheaper Than Meat \ A Fresh Delicious T*hl* Oyster, Packed in Sealed Ousts, ■ Solid Meat N o iU te ta r These Save Yon Money Country Cured Bacon......... 14c B reak fast Bacon, ftugar Cured per lb .................. 22c Fancy Sugar Cured Ham , l b .........................................10c California and Picnic HatnB, per ib 14c Schm id t's Ooean Light- Flour Canned Corn, Pe r c a n . . .......flo.

A new proposition has been made by members of the township hoard of education as to merging the two school districts with a view of a new joint school building. The local board some time ago offered two seats to mem­ bers to be chosen from* the present towniihlp board. Now the township board offers two seats to any two members of the village board, and the two township members and. two vil­ lage members then to select the fifth member outside of either board, No action has been taken, but we under­ stand that the village hoard, having taken the initiative in the matter un­ der the state examiner’s report will ask the county board for additional territory to increase the duplicate suf­ ficient to permit a new building. The county board is expected to take up the proposition at the next regular meeting. L a te r;—The local board a t the meeting Wednesday voted to accept the township board’s proposition. Mrs. S. T.
