Seedless Tomatoes.

Success has crowded the efforts
of the experts in the Agricultural
Department in the attempts to
produce seedess tomatoe. The
work has been going on for six
years at the experiment farm of
the department and officials are
immensely gratilied at the results.
The new tomato is only one of a
number interesting vegetables that
have been produced by cross breed
ing. 1t has developed into a fixed
type and crosses with other plants
having little or no effect upon it.
Among other experiments in the
same line is that of one of the ex-
perts who has succeeded in ac-
complishing the production of the
seedless tomato.
The "seedess' tomato is not al
ways seedless. Sometimes it has
no seeds at all, sometimes it may
have eight or nine and sometimes
it may contain fifty. The plant is
very large one, of excellent fla
vor and has been given the name
of "Giant." 1t is the result of a
cross of the Golden Sunrise on the
Dwarf Champion. The plant is a
persistent bearer and flowers up
to the killing frosts in November
Among other experiments in
the same line is that of one of the
experts who has succeeded in ac-
colnplishing the same results but
by an entirely different process,
the excessive use of fertilizers.
Some of these tomatoes were
dwarfed and some were large
enough for the table use, while
others had the flavor of strawber-
ries. All Of the seedless plants,
it is said, have to be propagated by
cuttings

Score, Hustontown 16; Shade
Gap 8.
Last Sunday, about 10;30 a. M,
large black bear entered this
town near the U. B. church, and
lelsurely walked up to Glenn Ches-
nuts gate and looked in. Some
one happened to see the bear, and
raised the alarm. 1t wasn't long
until the Hustontown Hunting
Club aud their pack of hounds
we're on the track of the beir,
and were led by their leader I'm
Gle Dudley. Unfortunately the
boys were not prepared much for
shooting, they having only one
gun, with one load IN 1t, and a re
volyer with three loads, which
we're all discharged IN the direc.
tion Of the bear in the course oil
the chase. The hounds did their
work well, and ran him clear out
of the country. just now, two
of the hounds are misslng-nC
ono knows whether they were
killed by the bear, or what hap
pened to them, but one dog which
came back Monday morning, was
all cut and sore, which we're signs

School Districts Must File Reports
BY October FIRST.

Many inquiries have been made
by the school directors of the coun-
ty in regard to the new teachers
salary law and when it goes into
operation.
Before any school district can
receive State money to pay IN
creased salaries under the Snyder
act, 1t must file report with the
Department of Public instruction,
October l being the date fixed.
The department is preparing a
circular to be issued to the school
districts of the State outlining the
method whereby the act is to be
put into effect. This is the bill
which has been signed by Cover
uor Stuart making $40 the mini
mum to be paid teachers holding
provisional certificates and $50
for teachers having professional,
permanent or Normal school GER
tifcates. The $4,000, 900 apprc-
priation for schools contains 1915,
900 for township high schools and
the same amount for borough high
schools, and the increased pay of
of teachers is also to come out
of it.
AS under the State law the State
appropriation for schools is not to
be paid until tho school is com
pleted the department has decided
to require that reports showing
that the districts have accepted
the Snyder law in respect TO sala-
ry must be filed at the Capitol by
the first Of October, this year, anc
annually thereafter. While Tho
minimum salary is to take eflec
June /. 1907, no district can re-
ceive State money to aid in pay
ment Of increased salaries unit

only in case it files the required
report by October l.

A Modern Smith Shop.
.om the Mercersburg Journal.

From the Mercersburg journal.
While IN McConnellsburg on
Monday Of this week, we had oc-
casion to call on A. b. Wilkinson,
the blacksmith at that place. We
are putting 1t mildly to say we
were surprised to find such a
complete outfit III a blacksmith
shop in this section of the coun.
try. Mr.. Wilkinson formerly did
smithing at Foltz and few years
ago moved to the Fulton county
capital. Here he has built up an
extensive trade in all the lines
pertaining to this business. He
has prepared himself for the
work by furnishing his large shop
with all the latest improved ma
chinery. His shop is divided in
to several different departments.
He runs his machinery, trip ham
mer, drills, fans, bellows, etc. by
a gasoline engine manufactured
by the Metcalfs at Quincy, this
county, and In which Mr.. Viii
kinson takes great pride and
claims there is none better. With
his two assistants he does the
work of half dozen men; with
his forge hammer he is enabled
to sharpen from 80 to rs shovels
and shears for plows per day
and do great quantities OF other
heavy work on short notice. His
blowers for his fires are arranged
so that by simply drawing out a
slide he can get his blast and car
have white heat IN very short
time If he desires. He does
great deal of work for disabled
automobiles and is q busy man
from morning until night. HIS
shops an interesting place fora any
one to visit who delights in the me
chanlsm of machinery.

Rev. Joseph Barney and his
wife Rebecca, of Clearville, Bed
lord county, Pa, completed fifty
years of happy welded life on
Tuesday of this week. During
those fifty years, as minister of
the Christian church, M. Bar.
rev preached in this, and in Bed
ford C ,unty, as we'll as in many
other places. During that time
hundreds of people through Mr..
Barney's preaching have been
led Ito identify themselves with
the church, and ;hus become
blessing to their families and
friends. During this time, he
visited the sick, and spoke words
of comfort to those mourning the
loss of dear friends. Like many
others who have thus devoted
their lives to this service, he now
finds himself worn out, sick, and
almost helpless, without the nec-
essaries of life. Surely. In this
day of "full and plenty" an ap-
peal like this should not fail to
find substantial response. Send
the old gentleman a dollar, as a
golden wedding gift. If some OF
your rich friends we're to seGd
you a golden wedding announce.

sending them a gift of less than
five dollar goldpiece. Now here
Is a poor old preacher, who needs
help. A dollar will mean more to
him than ten to a rich man. Just
foli up a dollar bill, put it in an
envelope along with kind letter
to abe old gentleman, and if your
neighbors do not happen to hear
Cf your generosity, there is one
that will know all about 1t and
bless you. In a letter to the News,
Mr.. Barney writes; 81 received
so little during those rifty years
that i took every dollar to keep
my family. Now my voice has
failed, am no longer able to
preach, and since the first of last
January, have been under the
doctors care, unable to walk
without the aid of crutches. Rev.
Morgret, of the M. e. churc, gave
me five dollars IN Everett last
week. May God bless him, and
