II the present plans of the dairy divis-
ion of the department of agriculture do
not go awry, the latter part of next
lowing one-the inspection of dahA
products intended for export will be be-
gun at the principal seaport cities, as
we'll az at the larger interior ones. 1t
was the intention of Major AlNord, the
chief of the dairy division, to begin this
work on Jan. !, but the contractors for
printing the stamps and certilcates 10
accompany the inspection had failed to
do as they agreed, and thus delayed the
beginning of the service. The stamps
are now at the department of agricul-
ture, and they will be sent to the inspec-
tors. together with letters of instruction,
by the middle of next week. They are
printed along the same general lines as
those adopted by the bureau of animal
industry (of which the dairy division is
branch) for the inspection of meats
and meat products intended for export.
The stamp which will be attached to the
butter tubs boxes of cheese, etc, ia of
canary yellow color and of simple de-
sign 1t is about the same shape and
size as the meat stamps-3A by 53a
inches. Arranged within a border of
simple yet pleasing design is the legend,

Il had just come back to the store
from my lunch one day." said the mer-
chant, as burglar-proof safes were un-
der discussion, when a middle aged
man with a hard-up look entered my
private office after me. The object of
his call was to strike me for half n
dollar, and l am surprised yet that
didn't at once turn him down. l guess
it was because he had the look of a
first-class mechanic out of a job. and
because trade was rushing with me.
To accede to his request had to open
my big safe, and as I handed him two
quarters he thanked me and added:
Excuse me, sir but isn't that safe
of yours too dead easy?
How do you mean I asked.
"Why, it's four number combina-
ton, but you have it set only to two.
I think / could open it in a couple of
minutes

feeling u little nettled at his disparage-

forty seconds he had swung it open.

said, without a smile.
"'But how did you get on to the COM
bination?'
.'.oh, it's intuition, guess. Better
call in man and have the lock set
on four numbers. 1t could be opened
then, but it might take an hour or two.
Thanks again, and good day

maximum output of 20,504, 600 long tons,

alone produced 80 per cent of the total

The report shows that the pig iron

The total steel production shows

JERMYN AND MAYFIELD.

An effort is being made by the Clerk s
union of Jermyn and Maytield, to have
a Wednesday afternoon half holiday.
Thus far they have met with very
gratifying success. Mayfield merchants
who are always loyal in any move
ment that will benefit or give pleasure
to their help have all signed the petit
ton. All of the merchants of Jermyn
have signed except two and it is be-
lieved that they will soon fall In line
as they cannot we'll afford to stand
out in Il loyal movement of this kind
in times when trade is SO dull and
none would be inconvenienced by the
stores closing one afternoon Il week. 1t
is rumored that this matter will be
taken up in the miners local union
and ask their support in the movement.
The Clerks who are more than modest
in asking this favor would greatly ap-
preciate it and the merchants by grant
ing it would be more than paid by the
better service that they would get after
the strike Is over and their best eff
forts are needed in the interest of their
employers.

WORTHY TRIBUTES
TO HON. WIN. MORRISON
His Memory Honored at knights Of
Columbus Services-Eulogy by M.

For the second time within q month.
the Carbondale council, knights of
| Columbus, honored the memory of a
member who had been garnered from
its ranks within that time.

who was conspicuous among those who
| worked SO hard for the institution Of
the Carbondale council, and for it's per-
petuation after the spreading of it's in

home of the Columbusites on South
Main avenue. the first held there. The
attendance filled the hall to the doors.
| The Grafton of course. was the feature
of the services that particularly referred
to the departed faithful knight. This
was delivered by Hon. NJ. T. Burke
who was closest of any of the members
to the deceased. His was a warm
eulogy, but which, however, did not
abound in fulsome flattery of Mr.. Nor
rison. 1t was an earnest, kind hearted
tribute that bespoke the feeling of the
orator.
Mr.. Burke prepared the eulogy with
clear explanation Of the origin and
perpetuaton of the thoughtful custom
in the Catholic church of praying for
it's departed dead, tracing the practice
to the old testament.
Coming to the deceased he said that
Mr. Morrison seemed to have taken for
his guidance the motto:
"To thine own self, be true, and it
must follow as the night the day,
thou canst not then be false to any
man."
TO these sentiments, he lived faith
fully and his life was an exemplification
of what they contained. He was faith
full in his love to his home, he was
ardent to his friendship and was de-
voted in whatever position in life he
might find himself. Whether as the
chief executive Of the city or as dis
charging the least important act of
days labor during a busy life.
Mr.. Burke said that the deceased was
full of human nature, and the child

itself so peasingly in his devotion and
attention to little ones. His patriotism.

INFANT BADLY BURNED.
Body Fearfully Blistered by scalding
Coffee.

A fourteen months old son of Joseph
Trehanesse, of Simpson, narrowly es-
capped death by being scalded yester-
day afternoon The little one emerged
from its terrible experience with one
side of its body fearfully bistered by
scalding coffee.
The child crept unawares to the table
on which there was a two-quart pot of
boiling coffee. Reaching up, the little
one pulled down the vessel upon itself.
The hot liquid ran down over one side
of the body, burning, bistering and
shrlveling the flesh as it ran its destruc-
tive course.
A physician was called to allay the
fearful agonies of the sufferer. After
the application of soothing and healing
unctions, the child was appreciably re-
lieved. Unless something unforeseen oc-
ours the child will recover.

Do You Know Your Neighbors.p

In city man may not know his
next door neighbor. 1t is quite different
in the country. In some sections a man
may know every man, woman and child
in the county and be able TO give the
family history of all his neighbors for
three generations back. In such n
community man who sees a neighbor
in trouble is as quick to help him out
as he would be to aid one of his own
children. An instance of this is related
by II. III. Seal, we'll known merchant
of Fortner, Tenn. His neighbor's wife
was taken with a severe attack of collie
On hearing of 1t he ran to his store, got

was witnessed by all of his neighbors
