A SERIOUS ACCIDENT.

Frank E. Hall of Knob Brook mel with serious and painful accident last week Monday, February r, anG one that will lay him up for several weeks. MT Hall was driving down Diamond Hill with load of baled hay when the ropes holding the load broke, letting the hay onto the horses, fright ening them and causing them to run. MT Hall was thrown from the load and landed on one of his limbs, breaking it in two places and breaking both bones in the leg. The fracture was very bad one and the bone penetrated through the flesh. The road where the accident happened is bad one and there are no houses near, so MT Hall lay on the ground where he fell from about 9.30 in the morning, the time that the accident happened, until 4 o'clock in the afternoon before he was found. The day was pretty cold and he suffered greatly from the cold and his injuries, but stood it wonderfully well. He was taken at once to his home and Dr Smith was called who sent for Bethel doctor to assist him and they set the broken limb. MT Hill is now getting along as we'll as could be expected but it will be a long time before he will be able to be about again. The horses were freed from the wagon by the pole breaking and ran a ways where they became entangled in the trees and were stopped, neither being injured. It is almost miracle Mir Hall was not dead when he was found and he has the sympathy of all his neighbors and friends who hope for his speedy recovery.
 A number of Bedding Patrons went to Newtown, last Wednesday evening, where they were very pleasantly enter tained at the home of MT and Mrs H. Rupf, one of the former members. The game of whist was enjoyed and re- treatments were served. The occasion was very enjoyable one for all.

II would be very thoughtful and sug-

As simple school I'm modesty and
self-criticism. I should suggest that we
should sometimes put the small letter

our neighbor. BY all means let us say,
'.As an Englishman 1 despise you and

BREWERY IN CALCUTTA
BEGINS To SELL PILSENER
First Venture of, Kind i'm India
Makes Prices Lower Than
Importers

The following information concern
ing the establishment OF a brewery in
Calcutta, and it's anticipated effect on
beer imports, is furnished by Consul
General William III. Michael of that
metropolis of India:
Calcutta has a brewery about ready
TO place its product on the market. This
IS the first venture of the kind in this
city. 1t will use filtered Hooghly river
water and will make several brands OF
beer. The brand called "Pilsener" Will
retail at s1-1S per-dozen. which is big
reduction on former prices of imported
"Pilsener" beer.
The capacity of the brewery is from
10000 to $4,000 gallons per month. The
materials used are malt and Kentish
hops The beers to be produced are
stout. ale. Pilsener and Munich. The
process used is one, specially adapted
to hot countries, thsJ fermentation being
performed by means of a special type
of BARN that works at very high tenn
peratures compared with ordinary
yeasts. This greatly facilitates the pro-
duction of beers in q tropical Climate.
as 1T does away with the necessity of
/ using high power refrigerating ma
chine, that would be necessary If or
binary German or English yeast We're
employed. II is found necessary to
artiticialiy cook the beer only Just be-
fore it is racked into casks or bottled
! instead of keeping IL cold during the
whole period of fermentation, Which,,
with lager beers brewed on the German
system, comprises a period of six TO
| ten weeks. The brewing machinery IS
| all of the latest type and the whole
brewery is built on the most modern
principles. The ice machine used for
| finishing the beers is only of ton
capacity, but 1t is claimed that. startin Z
with temperature of 50 degrees. it is
| possible to reduce the temperature of
| the refrigerating medium II degrees
below freezing point within four hours.
If this brewery accompliSheS all 1t
| sets out to do 1t will revolutionize the
beer trade OF India and leave little de-
mand for foreign made beers.-Daily

IRELAND is DEVOTING
LESS LAND TO FLAX
Decrease in the Acreage Planted
This Year Is Reported to
Re 1878

WASHINGTON, Nov. 2s.-Consul S. S.
Knabenshue of Belfast submits the fol-
lowing report on the decreasing pro-
duction Of flax in Ireland:
The department of agriculture and
technical instruction for Ireland has
reported decrease Of 1878 acres for
ali Ireland in the area devoted to hax
culture. Last year there were 1858
acres IN fax. as against 46,S21 acres in
1903 OF this years acreage 46,6S1
acres were in the province of Ulster,
which IS embraced in this consular
district. The decreased acreage in Ul-
ster was 1921.
This decline in the fax area in Ire
land has been going on for a number
Of years. The heavy reduction in acre
age for 1908 is attributed chiefly to
the fact that the price of scutched fax
last wear was very unsatisfactory to
the farmers; the depression in the
linen trade which set in last fall gave
no promise Of an increase, and not
withstanding the number of unem-
pIoyed in the cities. IT is difficult 10
hire help in the fax pulling and rettine
Last year ireland supplied about a
fifth OF the scutched fax which the
mills required: the remaining four
ftths were obtained from the conti-
nent Russia furnishing by far the
greater portion. This year the mills
will be compelled to rely to a still
greater extent on the Russian supply
