We suggest to fair ma gers the plan of excluding

efforts to prepare new exhibits. This would in

Arlington vs.. Glide The race which took
place at Herring Run on Monday afternoon last,
for purse of $2OO-frst hor.e Sl5O and the
second $50, between Harry Arlington and Glide,
was wen by the latter in three straight heats
time 2:31, 1924 and 2:33f. The attendance Of
the friends of the respective horses was large, and
before the start the betting 10 to in favor
of Arlington, but after the first heat the odds
were in favor of Glide. The hackers of Airing
ton were disappointed at the result, from the fact
that at Timonium, but few weeks ago, on half
mile track, he had beaten GIide-the tune being
2:3O. 1t has always been claimed that Arlington
could show more speed on a mile track than he
could on half mile, but the result Of Mondays
race tells different story. The horses were
driven by their owners.

Feast OF All Saints.-0n Saturday last,
November st in all the Catholic churches through
out the Christian world, this great Feast was duly
celebrated. The Feast of All Saints was insti-
tuted by Pope Gregory w, in the 9th century,
and set apart for religious observance on the LIST
of November of every year. The day is still faith
fully observed as a holiday of obligation by the
Catholic church, the chief feature in the sanctu-
airy service being petitions for the microscopy
aid of the sainted host, the most notable of whom
are addressed by name in their devotional ex
ercises. This festival possesses much spiritual
awe for the devout of this church, who hold it in
generation excepted only by the fundamental
historical factors of redemption. The occasion
for its origin due to the constantly Increasing
list of canonized saints, and the consequent i'm
possibility of assigning q separate day for every
single member thereof.

Eklo, 9th District.-The protracted meeting
at RuhIs church, has ended with good results,
and the church is to be reprinted and walls kali
somined.
Mr.. Bruff visited the schools up here last week.
He was accompanied by Mr.. ]. Shamberger at
RuhPs, whose pleasant smiles and encouraging
words delighted the children. Our teacher, Mr..
Donaldson, is an able instructor, and has the con-
fdence of the patrons and his bright scholars and
neatly decorated room is n natural result.
The even tenor Of our way has not been agita-
ted to any great extent in the upper end by the
political struggle at issue.
After husking corn all day we can sleep well,
our digestion is healthy, the good crop of corn
enables us to enjoy plenty of pork chops, our busy
work will soon DO over, and then we will put the
finishing touches on before going into winter
quarters, such as providing big wood pile,
storing the apples and turnips and odd ends,
making sour krout, and marketing the beans, and
capturing few good books for the long winter
evenings. and in this way every little farm house
here, with its full quota of romping children and
happy housewife, each a kingdom of its own, we
can we'll afford to tide over the result at the cleo
ton, be it as it may. o.

Floriculture.-From Powetrs Pamphlet: In

to tender roses is to cover the beds with heavy
mulch of strswy manure, aud leave the tops ex
posed. If they are killed down to the manure. it
matters not, as they will bloom just we'll, they
flower only on the young growth. Where ivy on
walls is exposed to the morning sun it is apt to
be killed by the sun striking it when frozen some
old mating hung it will protect it. Com

pan lilies. Hardy shrubbery Of all kinds can now
be transplanted. Tender bulbs of gladiolus,
tigridias, &C.. should be lifted and dried. Keep
giadioIus in cool place. tgridias in n warm one,
and away from mice. Dig dahlias and cannas
as soon as the tops are killed, and place in COOL
dry cellar. Tea roses dug from the open ground
must be kept in a cold pit or cellar until new
roots are made before they can be forced into
bloom. Keep pot plants free from green fly or
lice by tobacco smoke, or by washing them in
decoo;ien of tobacco water as dark as strong tea
