AN OVERCOAT

At this season demands your attention
more, probably, than any other gar
ment, and every indication points to
this MS being an unusually active time
for their sale. The demand of late
years has been for something as warm,
but yet dressier, and not so bulky as
the old style heavy beaver cloths. We
have in stock more oyercoats this sea-
sou than ever before, and our sales
already show that we have sold
greater number than we ever did 50
early. Ready-made clothing has been
improved so much of late that you can
find among iirst>class stock
suits made of material which a few
years ago it would have been consider
ed venturous undertaking to make
up. The makeup and trimming of
all clothing has also been greatly
improved and for avery moderate sum
person can now procure an outfit
that will answer every purpose that is
needed of it.

THE town OF Shenandoah, Pa, was
visited the early part Of the present
week by most disastrous fire, One
fifth Of that town VAS laid in ashes
in an incredible short space Of
time. A woman seems to have been at
the bottom Of the whole affair. The
same old story repeats itself in the
careless use Of coal oil in lighting fires.
BY this carelCssness nearly $50 families
are homeless and thrown out upon the
cold charities Of the world, The first
report that reached us was to the effect
that the town was iuefliciently supplied
with water and fire engines. How far
this approaches the truthwe cannot say.
An old citizen Of the Inflated town
said, had all the engines in the country
been there. and the Atlantic Ocean to
have drawn the water from, il would
have awaited but little on that occasion
against fierce winds and tinder,boXcs,
for such were majority of these build
ings. Charities are already at work
relieving those made homeless, In
such dire calamity they m" indeed

bread or slices Of stale bread in
small pieces; use about nequarter
or one third as much bread as po-
tatoes; heat milk enough to moist
en- the whole; season with salt,
pepper and butter, and put in the
bread and potatoes. Let it sim
mer till the bread is moistened !;
but do not let it become pasty. This
is a good way to use stale bread,
and to make potatoes go further,

The Potato Onion.

The potato onion is variety of
the onion which has completely
lost the habit Of producing flowers
and seeds. 1t does not even push
up a fower-stem. Owing to the
erroneous impression that it was
introduced into England from
Egypt, it is sometimes called the
Egyptian onion" In this coun-
try it is often known as the eng
l;sh Multiplier," and underground
onion" is still another name for it.
1t is medium sized, yellowish
brown onion, with a stronger fla
vor than that Of the common kinds.
If large potato onion be planted
in spring it will produce a cluster,
sometimes as many as a dozen, Of
smaller bulbs, varying in size from
flbert upwards These small
onions, when planted next year,
will each increase in size, to form
a large bulb. The generations
thus alternate. One year offsets, or
small onions are produced, and the
next year these grow to the full
size. Ordinarily it would take
two years to grow an onion Of this
kind, but in practice, some of the
bulbs in cluster of small ones
are often large enough for use, and
when a small bulb is set out, it, be-
sides growing to large bulb, often
produces several small ones also.
SO often does this occur that, in
cultivation on a small scale, it is
not necessary to grow a lot Of off
sets especially for ''seed," as
enough are usually produced, at
tached to the large bulbs. This
onion is very hardy, and may re-
main in the ground all. winter. 1t
is also early. In some localities,
especially near Norfolk, Va, this
variety is used as the market crop,
to the exclusion of those raised
from seeds-Americon Agriculture

School Assembly, or, as it is COM

Old Aged Newspapers.

Many German newspapers have
reached a ripe old age. Of the
4 ,413 that are now in existence,
ninety-eight were born in the
last century and a few in the cen
fury before. One at Frankfort is
261 years old, one at Madgburg
253, and one at Leipsic 207. OF pa
pers whose ages average from SO
to so years, there are 266, while
those that average from 80 to 81,
number 1927. Permanence in
newspaper existence in Germany is
not, however, the general rule.
OF the papers that were in circu-
lation during the year 1880, 20per
cent came into existence in that
same year, and their average life
was not more than six months.
