One OF the strange things about the
collecting" habit Is that which some
book collectors have of gathering all
the editions OF the Bible rendered rare
or curious by mlsprlnts or errors due
TO imperfect translation. There are
said TO be nearly n hundred such Bibles.
Among them are the 'breeches" Bible,
In which our first parents are repre-
scented ms sewing fig leaves together to
make themselves "breeches;" the win
egar" Bible. wherein that word is sub
stituted for vineyard IN the parable;
the 'plncemakers' Bible, where that
word takes the place OF peacemaker;
the wicked" Bible, which omits mot"
from the seventh commandment, and
the bug" Bible, In which we find this
phrase In the ninety-first psalm: Thou
shalt not need TO he afraid for any
bugges by night" This In reality does
not mean Insects, as mt first supposed
but bogies. or terror, ms 1t was later
translated. This edition, which Is menu

conception Of the word referred to, was
first printed In 1910 at Antwerp and
relssued In 1851. Another curious
thing Is the sixteenth century idea OF

translation OF the first eplstle Of st.

Whether prosperity strikes the peo-
pie or fails to come, they must have
homes. Mr.. s. c. Anderson of Paris
township is providing himself with
one, nice two story farm house we'll
under way. The artists are the Neck
lenburg boys.
Frank Klingle finding better home
than he had been having necessity,
is having good farm house erected
on his farm in Paris township, built
upon the site of his former one, por-
tions of which are incorporated into
the new, the work is being done with
the family remaining under its shelter
while being built anew. B. d. Evering-
ham and Henry Fravel are the ac-
complished artists in charge of the
work.
Richard McCarville has had milk
house built of the granite which has
been gathered from the farm. Its
hard smooth walls and cement floor
will enable him to have both a cool
and a sweet place for his milk.
The farmers through the county are
all busy with their growing corn,
which, though backward Is of good
color, better than of an average stand,
is rapidly growing and has time en-
ough for good crop yet.
VIM. Hines ana Mr.. Hills, each have
a few acres of beans, a crop that new

that we'll rewards the husbandman for
his labor.

is producing . wonderful growth in
the meadows assuring an abundant
yield of hay.
All the small grain is looking re-
markably we'll and is growing very
rapidly.
In our rambles over the county there
seems to be unusually large flocks of
poultry growing upon the farms, the
housewife and the children paying
special attention to this profitable
branch of industry. On small farm
in the northeast corner of New Ore
gon, owned by Mr.. Cleghorn, there is
a flock of nearly five hundred, with an
