due you for me to give you the fol-
lowing statement. find the work

I have ever had q cleaner and
more mechanical piece of roof

shows superior workmanship in a

proper truss framing is of the very
greatest Importance on the success

Save the Water.

The water works trustees have is
sued a circular oautioning our peo-
pie against the extravagant use of
and the malicious wasting of the
city water. The request is very
common sense. Our trustees we be-
lieve are doing excellently by the
people and in making this request,
they are not serving themselves, but
the people. 1t is our people to lose
If the water gives out and we have
not sufficient fire protection. The
well that supplies our system is a
most noble one and will furnish good
and ample supply If we do not abuse
it. The trustees are right and earn
est in their request and let every
consumer obey the admonition and
be careful with our good privileges.
Father Powers announced to his
congregation last Sunday that he

him what they wish to know. He
will devote one Sunday of each
month to answering the questions
The questions and answers to them
will appear In all the Logan papers
Father Powers wishes to give HE
interrogative every inducement to
ask him questions. They are a,
liberty to put their questions in the
box Ia the vestibule of st. Johns
Church, or they may send them tt
any of the Logan papers, or his p
o. address. No name need accom-
pany the questions. He will how
ever confine his answers to ques
tions ON Catholic Doctrine.

South Perry Weddings.

Never were two more loving
hearts happily united than occurred
at South Perry, at five o'clock on
Thursday evening of last week,
when Rev. Mather united Mr.. R,H.
Hiliiard in marriage with Miss
Lilly M. Redfern, the beautiful and
accomplished daughter of DR.. and
Mrs. Redfern.
The ceremony was performed in
the presence of thirty-two persons,
all relatives of the contracting
party, and more happier assem-
blage, would be hard to find. After
the ceremony, which was very
pretty one. and nicely performed
by Rev. Mather, the guests sat
down to a most sumptuous and
daintily spread wedding repast, to
which all did justice.
The newly welded pair are
among the choicest of South Perry's
flower garden, and the future to
them is very bright indeed. The
groom is an excellant teacher, and
has engaged to teach the second
year at Cola school. For the pre-.
sent they will make their home
with the parents of the bride, she
being the youngest and only child
at home-the remainder all mar
ried and away.
May their lives always be happy
and their heart full of tenderness
for each other, is the wish of the
NEWS.

stocr Raising and Beets,

In all countries where the sugar beet
8 made a speciality much considera-
tion Is given the value Of the beets as
cattle food; that Is, the residuum. af-
ter the sugar is extracted. By feeding
stock in connection with the growing
of the beets for sale to the factory, car
rying home the pulp for stock food, the
farmers opportunities from the grow
ing of beets are increased. Expert
ments In Pennsylvania show that the
yields Of beets range from ten to If
teen tons per acre. and the average
amount Of sugar to exceed II per cent.
The farmer will have to contend with
wet and dry seasons, and his profits
will be more some years than during
others, but 1t is believed that farmers
have neglected the beet as an import
ant food for cattle, independently of
its use as a source for procuring sugar,
not that the beet Is as valuable as
grain, but because farmers will find a
larger increase In production from
cattle by reason Of the feeding Of sue
culent food, and although there is
some preparation required for all
kinds Of roots before feeding them to
stock. such labor Is unnecessary when
the beet pulp from the factories is
used, the combination Of the pulp with
grain giving better results than when
beets or grain are fed separately

NE LOVED HIS DOGS.
One Of the Most Char ming Traits
Sir Walter Scott's Character.

One Of the Most Char ming Traits OF
Sir Walter scott's Character.
HE was a gentleman. even to his
dogs" said a visitor 10 AbbOtsfOrd In
$780,. when too roughly frolicsome,
ne rebuked them gently SO as not to
mOrtify them or spoil the natural
buoyancy Of their character.
Dear old Scotti How he loved to
stroll with his dogs through the woods
IF his beautiful home, there amid the
rural scenes which he loved SO dearly
ne would take long. enjoyable, salts
tying walks with his pet companions
who added not a little to the happiness
IF his life. They were elevated by
nim to the position Of steady and sens
bic friends: they possessed rights to
be respected and feelings which 1t
would be scandalOus to outrage. Scott
always kept one window Of his study
open that his dogs might leap In and
out as the fancy moved them.
One Of the most charming periods
If Scott's life was that which he spent
ry mansion on the bank Of the Tweed
n q solitary mountain district. At
his time he was engaged In writing
'Marmion." Many Of his literary
friends visited him here. On Sundays
they would all, accompanied by the
several dogs, 60 picknicking to some
'avorite spot, frequently the ruined
tower Of Elibank and there dine In the
open air.
When his dear old dog, Camp. died,
Scott had been invited to dine out that
lay, but declined on account Of 'the
leath Of a dear old friend" His most
famous dog was the greyhound,
MAZDA, who came upon the scene when
he Waverly novels were beginning to
vet the world talking. 1t is Nadia
who figures at his feet In the we'll
Known sculpture by Steel. Washing
on Irving, during a visit to Abbots-
ord In 1917, enjoyed the pleasure with
scott and his dogs. "As we sailed
'orth. every dog In the establishment
.urned out to attend us; Mazda de-
,orted himself with . gravity becom
ng his age and size. while the others
worried him gambolins, frolicking
ind leaping at his neck. II have no
loubt," said Scott, that when Mazda
alone with them he throws gravity
,side and plays the boy as much as
my Of them. but he IL ashamed to do
70 in our company"
In the autumn Of 1920 when q large
,arty, including Sir Humphrey Davy,
)r. WollastOn and Henry Mackenzy,
we're starting out with the dogs, n
title black pig was discovered to be
risking about among the dogs with
he evident intention Of Joining the

had formed a strong and most senti-
dental attachment to Scott and was
onstantly urging his pretensions to be
Omitted as a regular. remember

1t Is a sad task for Scott when quit
ing his home to seek health abroad,
which he did not hnd. to leave his
logs; his last orders were that they
hould be well taken care Of.
