JUDGE STRICKEN ON BENCH
Breaks Down MentaIiJ and Physically
While Charging Jury.

Bloomsburg, Pa, Feb. S.-Presi-
dent Judge Robert Little, who has
been i'll for the last year, while pre-
siding at the present session of court
for the first time during that period,
broke down mentally and physically
this morning while addressing the
jury.
The case being tried was that Of
John Alterio, charged with fclonious-
ly shooting. A few minutes after
Judge Little began his charge it was
noticed that his discourse was ramb.
ling and disconnected, and his son
finally persuaded him to leave his
courtroom. BY agreement Of the at
torneys, the case was given to the
jurors, who later returned n verdict
OF guilty.
A motion for a new trial was made,
and owing to the illness of Judge
Little during the trial, it will no
doubt be granted. During the Prev.
Gus illness Of Judge Little the scs, ion,
Of court in Columbia and Montour
Counties were presided over by Judg
c, b. Staples, OF Monroe county.

birds are also faring well. and Mr..
Billmeyer predicts that another year
like this one and there will be more
game than usual. If this is true in
regard to the game, it is also true in
regard to fish, and trout should be
more plentiful than for some years.

While out squirrel hunting, when
the cotton tails were ripe, we had the
pleasure Of emerging from Surveyor
Vests woods and was soon on the
farm of VIM. Quigg, which has
Revolutionary history. The farm, in
the early days of Montour county was
the property of the late Peter Badly,
and is located high up on Montour
Ridge, about two and-a-half miles
from Danville. The farm was in fine
cultivation when Indians swarmed
through the forests near by, and when
farmers were in danger of being shot
and scalped in broad day light. This
was in the seven -teenth century.

Speaking of what newspaper does
for community, United States Sena-
tor David Davis, of Illinois, made an
address that remains ever green in the
memories of Newspaper men. He
said: "Every year every good local
paper gives from 500 to 5000 free
lines for the benefit of the community
in which it is located. No other
agency can or will do this. The
editor in proportion to his means does
more for his own town than any other
man. He ought to be supported not
because you happen to like him or ad-
mire his writing, but because the local
paper is the best investment a commu-
nity can make. 1t may not be crowd
ed with great thought, but financially
it is of more benefit than both preach
er and teacher Today editors do
more for less pay than any man on
,arth. Patronize your home paper,
not as charity, but as an invest
nent.

Hauling Lime.

The farmers are taking advantage of
the snow to haul lime for fertilizing
purposes. Scores of sleds loaded with
lime were driven through this city
yesterday on their way home from the
kilns. Farmers who have lime to haul
each winter are very anxious to see
snow,as without it the roads are pretty
sure to be bad, when the transportation
Of lime becomes serious problem.
Comparatively little lime up to the
present had been hauled this winter
owing to the bad roads, most farmers
postponing the work hoping for u fall
IF snow.
Yesterday morning they started out
in good earnest not few driving
many miles, from Rush and Gearhart
townships to County Commissioner c.
W. Cooks kilns in Valley township.
Naturally when there is such rush as
nOw there is a great congestion of sleds
about the kims and except for thost
who arrive early there is long and
tedious wait in store. To obviate the
delay many of the farmers get up IS
Early as two OF three O'Clock in the
morning and start for the kiln in the

ever, that the farmers are all early and
Jhen the question whose sled shall be
loaded first is decided by the order OF
urival. Patience and good humor gen.
orally prevail at the kiln, and althoul h
it causes long hours and long interval
between meals, yet hauling lime is
work that by no means is disliked by
the young farmers. All that is desired
is plenty of snow

than the one which depicts the relations of these
achievements to human well being.
Expressed in millions of bushels the production of
grain in the United States follows Corn
27OS oats 939; wheat 6S4; barley 1S3 and the minor
grant including rice rye and buckwheat sufficient to
swell the grand total to 1921 100000 bushels or 225

Such quantity of grain would require for its trans
portation by rail 56250OO standard freight cars which,
if placed end to end would encrce the earth one and
fourffths times. 1t is sufficient to give every man.

nearly three times the capital invested in our national
banks.
In 1890 Mulhall English statscian, inserted the
following statement in his dictionary of statistics "In
the United States 100000 hands raised nearly half as
much grain as 6O000,000 in Europe" The average
grain product farm worker in the United States at
the date mentioned than three times as large
as that of his European competitor. In the inter-
venng years that product has materially increased in
the United States, while remaining practically IN
changed throughout Europe.
AS result find that the 4,521OOO 900 bushels of
grain produced In 1905 by the 100000 toers is at
least one-half the corresponding product of the 10000
600 toilers employed on European farms One Amer
lean farmer produces not far from three one ehaf
times as much grain the average toler the farms
OF Europe. If the comparison made between the
United States and the European nations exclusive of
Russia the superiority Of American farms would be
even more marked
The grains constitute the most important single
source Of human food, and for this reason are first
considered They also constitute large part of the
food of domestic animals and poultry. OF other crops
used for human and animal food the Department Of
Agriculture furnishes estimates for potatoes tobacco
and hay. The 1905 production Of potatoes was 26O-
100000 bushels, worth $13S000OOO; that of tobacco
6600O0000 pounds worth $52OO00OO and that of hay
