An exchange says the hog is the
mortgage litter, the sheep the farm
fertilizer, the COW the barn builder
and the hen the grocery bill payer.
This quartette with a man and a
woman not afraid of the work in car
ing for them will insure prosperity on
any farm.
Freight traffic on the b. & .. is
still running light with indications
pointing to a heavier movement in a
few weeks. However, the regular
men are making all the time they
want and occasionally taking a vaca-
ton, which gives an extra man a
chance. Passenger traffic continues
good with indications of a handsome
and profitable business through the
coming vacation months.
The wool market has opened little
late this year owing to the backward
ness of the season. Wool delivered
yesterday to buyers in Oakland
brought Is cents per pound, which is
the lowest price yet been offered and
we may say also the highest The
price in bound to rise and we advise
our wool producers to hold on to their
clip for the advance which will come
sooner or later.
A large number of Oaklanders will

route to the big show has not vet
been decided upon, but the party will
probably go via Pittsburg and will
travel in special car.

And now the police of Baltimore
have discovered, captured and confis-
Gated ''moonshine" still in the heart
of Baltimore which was operated by
some Hebrews named May, recent ar

considerable amount of corn ''mash''
was in the still ready for business.
May himself suspected that the police
would be after him and left the city.
His wife and three children were cap

What wierd tale of bloody battle,
knives, reyolvers and bold dash for

State. AS it was the fact was barely
mentioned and without scare heads at
that.
