The big eight inch gas line being laid
out to the wells in the Porkie field to take
care of the gas there by the Pennsylvania
Gas Company is progressing rapidly and
will soon be completed. The lines and
the big pump cost the Pennsy ia COM
pany about $75, 900, and as soon as con-
nected up they will start sucking the gas
out of the wells. AS the field is rather a
small one II is not expected to take a
great many years to almost clean it out OF
gas.-Warren Times.
No family ought to be without an old
lounge, remarks an exchange. 1t should
be old enough so one need not worry
about wearing it out and should be in a
down stairs room where it can be used
whenever there is time and the mood to
use it. Many women who are over
worked would, had they one handy, take
five minutes sometimes for a complete
rest and many man who comes home
grumbling would go away by himself
and keep quiet if he had a chance to loaf
in that way.
