Has Superior Qualities
Farmers Unanimous in the Verdict That the
Holt Combined Harvester Gives the Best
ResuIts-Saves 500 Day to the Farmer

While this statement alone will ap-
peal to the practical and economic
farmer another feature possessed
alone by the Holt Harvester is well
worthy of consideration. With the
use of the Holt all danger of fire is
eliminated, but during the harvest
season of 1904 three machines of other
makes were consumed by fire in one
mans field-destroying his grain and
virtually putting him out of busi-
ness"
Four different fires occurred close
to Pendleton last year from the use of
steam threshers-three on Lee Beams

Luderman. In addition to these ca
lamities two fires were caused by the
use of the Daniel Best Harvester
one on the farm owned by ]. G. Rich
ardson and one on William Yohnka's
place. These statements are not mere
hearsays or idle rumors, but were
reported in the news columns of PEN

Undoubted Proof That Roman
Workshops Turned Out Coins
of Bituminous Material That
Did Service d Money.

Coal was once used as money but
it was a long time ago and in Eng
land. The coal money was in the
shape of disks, approximating coins
in size, and was from Roman work
shops, where articles of ornament
were made on lathes. A writer says:
"On the Dorset coast, in the isle OF
Purbeck, to the west of st. Alban's
Head, an outcrop occurs of bituminous
shale, which extends more or less for
some miles. AS a source of fuel this
shale, or coal, has been worked from
very early times and is to the present
day used by the cottagers of Kimme.
ridge. Some of, this shale is of so
compact a texture that it is capable
of being worked into ornamental ar
ticles, taking a high polish, similar to
jet. The Romans, when occupying this
part of Dorset, discovered not only
the properties of this deposit as a
fuel but also it's capabilities of being
turned in a lathe into rings, beads and
armlets, which were no doubt readily
purchased by the ladies in the i'm
portant town of Durnovaria (Dor-
~chester), a few miles distant. Some
estimate may be formed of the magni-
tude of this industry by the number
of disks which have been discovered
from time to time in the neighbor-

The qualifications for membership

in education and who had remarked
to her host on the way home from the

schools that she would like to know
why four men of such apparent dull

THE GREEN APPLE PIE.
Will Bring Back to Every Man His
Boyish DAYS.

Once a year at least the most con.
firmed pie hater will eat a piece of
the sweet he condemns. And that is
when the first new green apples come
to town. Hardly does he like to a
take of them raw, for he cannot while
doing SO keep his mind off the funny
mans paragraphs which have boys
and that fruit mixed up to form a
plot. But after dinner if there is be.
fore him a piece of pie, less, than an
hours distance from the oven, it's
crust f1alky and desirably brown, its
inner contents of juicy, tender, new
green apples, sweetened wisely and
favored with a suspicion of nutmeg,
he forgets everything for the moment
but just that pie. He forgets every
thing so far, indeed, as to accept an
other piece ii it is urged upon him,
especially il there accompanies it
some rich yellow clotted cream.
Apple pie and cheese may be tradi-
tional, but green apple pies in mid
summer with cream to enhance their
value are delicious treasures of the
present.-Boston Transcript.

by the ancient Britons as. tallies, or

lightened Roman was an instrument
unknown to the natives and these
waste disks, bearing the tool marks
of the turner, would have been as i'm
possible to counterfeit by the savage
Briton as a minted coin.
