had hung the article near the stove
to dry, after which she threw into
the stove a small lot of dust coal
and closed the door. In short
time gas accumulated in the stove
and blew open the door, which ig.
nited the gas produced in the room
by her use of gasolene, and in a
short time the whole inside of the
house was in a flame. The lady
escape to the outside and gave the
alarm, which soon brought assist

pressed, but not before the furni-

almost ruined. Mrs. Damron sus-
tains badly burned hands and her
loss of property is seriously felt by
the lady. All deeply sympathize
with Mrs. Damron in her affiiction.

The "cheek" of some candidates
for Office is phenomenal. They may
never have subscribed for the paper
of their party published in their own
home and county, nor given it the
least support in any way, but when
they are nominated for office they OK
pect the editor to "sail in" and fight
for their election in the most earnest
manner. If the editor naturally lacks
enthusiasm under these circumstan-
ces, he is charged with lacking party
zeal. If newspapers were to have it
understood that those who expect the
friendship of newspapers in their cam
paigns for Office must show some
friendship for the newspapers, some
of these fellows might learn benefi-
ciQl lesson.

The average value OF n ton of coal
on car in the hard coal region is
about $l.60, and the average cost of
transporting it by rail is about 70 cts.
a hundred miles. This should make
it worth about Sc 80 ton in the yard,
and the cost of delivery is not over 25
cents ton, so that the actual value of
ton of coal should be about $2.61.
Allowing something over ten per cent.
profit for handling, it should not cost
much over $3 a ton.
A combination has forced the price
up to an average of So ton under Or
binary circumstances. The strike has
enabled local dealers to charge SO 80,
and there is threat that it will be
S7.35 next week.
There is no strike in tho soft coal re-
gion, and because of the contracts en-
tered into by the miners and operators
to cover the current year there is no
possibility of n strike, yet the local
dealers have twice advanced the price
of soft coal since the anthracite strike
began.
The dealers have taken advantage of
the situation to advance the price for
their own profit, and their combina-
ton is such that all charge the same
price.
The beef combine is in trouble for
similar action. Jersey City journal.

any dangerous consequences from it.
She says Our three children took
whooping cough last summer, our
baby boy being only three months old,

none of their plumpness and came out
in much better health than other
children whose parents did not use

Hood Farm Auction Sale of Jerseys and

Hood Farm, Lowell, Mass, is so
we'll known to the readers of this pa
per that it is not necessary to go into
details in regard to the high quality
of the stock owned at that great breed
ing establishment. June II and 10,
1909, they will sell to the highest bid
der 1870 head of Jersey cattle and 1876
Berkshire hogs. This is the greatest
sale of the kind ever held in New En-
gland. There is such large number
and many of the calves are so young,
that those who do not wish to pay the
high price usually brought by regis
tered stock will be able to get some
very desirable individuals at great
bargain. Every dairyman and farmer
can afford to get something to enrich
his herd, either a BULL heifer or a
pig. 1t is the opportunity of a life
time. Those who cannot go, but have
friends who will attend, should COM
mission them to use their judgment in
selecting something from these fam
GUS herds. The catalogue, which
Hood Farm has published, gives a
great deal of information to those In
terested in Jerseys and Berkshires,
