A MILD WINTER
The Weather on September goth,
Said to Rule the Year.

The Weather on September goth,
Said to Rule the Year.
For many years Abraham Strausser,
of Bloomburg, has made a study of
weather, winds and the moon to
such an extent that he has become a
successful prognosticator. For years
he has foretold what the coming sea-
sons would be like and it is seldom
that his prophecy has been wrong.
Strausser says that the winter is reg
ulated by the wind on the Goth of
September. When the wind is from
the east there will be a great deal of
snow. When the wind is variable
then the winter will be open and slop-
Ply, and winds from south and west
indicate a mild winter The wind on
the Goth day of September this year
came continually from the south and
west without a particle of variation,
and you can put it down that we will
have mild winter with little snow.
There will be no sleighing before
Christmas. Last year the wind blew
directly from the north and the win
ter was severe and long. Strausser
claims he has not missed foretelling
the weather fer many years.

w. S. Street, former employee of
the Preston Lumber and Coal Com
pany, was arrested one day last week
in Pittsburg, charged with having
stolen a check from one of his fellow
employees of the same company, and
after forging the endorsement depos-
tied it IN the Terra Alta Bank when
he issued checks to a number of par
ties. In the meantime the loss of the
check was reported to the company
here and payment stopped which led
to the forgery being discovered. Cash
Ter Crane, of the Terra Alta Bank,
traced the man to Pittsburg and his
arrest followed. He made good the
amount and was allowed to go free.

GOOD ROADS.
/ Governor Bachelor of New Hamp-
shire on Highway Improvement.

Governor Bachelor of New Hamp-
shire on Highway Improvement.
New Hampshire is one of the states
which are making rapid strides in the
improvement of her roads. Governor
Bachelor of that state-and he is also
an officer of the national grange-is a
very enthusiastic advocate of road
Improvement. In Ia recent address he
said:
THE development and prosperity
of any state or nation depends in
some degree upon the transportation
facilities provided, and such facilities
included not only our rivers and
haroors and our great railway and
steamboat companies, but also the
highways over which all our people
are transported.
The important matter now before
the friends of good roads is to arouse
the people to realization of their re-
sponsibility in securing favorable
state and national legislation on the
subject. Another important matter
is the construction of roads adapted
to the needs of travel oyer them.
Much harm has come to the good
roads movement in some sections of
the country through the advocacy Of
more expensive roads than the re-
sources of the people would warrant
and demand. Costly stone roads are
economical upon portions of our high
ways, but we must not overlook the
fact that there is a vast mileage OF
roads that could be permanently i'm
proved by the iudicious expenditure
of comparatively small sum of
money per mile. We should give due
prominence to this fact in considering
the matter from state or national
standpoint.
LAS an official Of the national grange
| desire to say word to the farmers
OF the country in regard to national
aid for road building. The farmers
have been loyal to the interests of the
nation in every emergency ofthe past.
TheYhave contributed their full share
i'll proportion to their wealth to the
revenues for the support of the COY
eminent. The ablest statesmen and
most successful business men contrib
ntinu To tho lpyralpr,rpnnt
perity of the country point to the
farms as their birthplace. When our
country has been in danger the farmer
boys have responded nobly to her de
tense. We have accomplishing
contributed our share to the enor-
nous expenditures of the national
government for river and harbor i'm
provements, the construction of canals
and the erection of costly buildings in
our great cities and we do not regret
it.
I'VE now ask in the name of justice
that national aid be granted for the
improvement of highways. This in
volves-the establishment of no new
policy, but the extension of the former
one. We ask the loyal support of
those who have been benefited by our
contribution to other public matters
to which have referred. | believe
the farmers of the nation, represent
ing more than third of our popula-
ton, are practically unanimous in
favor of such movement and will
give it their unqualified support"

Southern GirPs Work

On the Rio Grande River, in Zapata
county, Texas, there is a hourishing
cattle ranch which is owned and per-
sonally conducted by a young girl
When her millionaire father died some
years ago every one was. surprised to
hear that Miss Bounival would attempt
to carry on his interest. She had been
his companion and bookkeeper. and
had a thorough understanding of the
work, and so. instead Of retiring to one
Of the nearby towns and leaving the
management to an overseer. she over
sees everything herself, and, what is
more. she has been very successful. and
has added considerably to her income.
} She owns over 10000 head of cattle
and 1000 head of horses and mules.
She is capable of doing any mans work
on the ranch, and. except for a few
years at college, has lived all her life
on the ranch. But her surroundings in
dicate that in spite Of all this she is a
thoughtful, cultivated woman.
