Not many years ago 1t was not uncom-
mon to have one point TO this millionaire
and that and say, He made his money
men along the Rio Grande who may n a
short time be referred TO as onion NIL
lionaires."
So great has been the success of the men
who have been growing onions along the
boundary line that experts declare the
Bermuda onion PRODUCERS there Is really
superior to the onion produced IN
it's native soil.
Last summer the agent OF the South
Texas Truck Growers association visited
the Bermuda Islands and the Canary Is
lands and secured a big consignment OF
seed. These seed have produced this years
onion crop in Texas, OF a greater Size
and OF a finer quality. Whereas II was
formerly estimated that the Bermuda
growers shipped 100000 crates or onions
to the United States annually, ls low
estimated that their shipments this year
amounted to about $4,000 crates.-Mex1can

Chicken Thief Caught at Danville.

One of the chicken thieves that
have been operating in the vicinity
of Danville has fallen into the po-
lice dragnet. Joseph Gulick was
arrested last Friday night and is
now behind the bars in Danvile.
Enos Strous, Bloom road. had
FIVE valuable chickens stolen Thurs
day night. Incidentally, Joseph
Gulick, of Danville, took several
dressed chickens to Bloomsbury
Friday morning and sold them at
that place. Officer Voris followed
him to Bloomsbury and purcha sed
a couple of the chickens of the
parties to whom they had been sold
and brought the fowls back to
Danville.
Mr.. Strous examined the chick
ems and identified them as those
stolen from him. He swore out a
warrant for Gulick's arrest. Gu
lick acknowledged his guilt and
wanted to settle. This, however,
was not permitted and he was held
for court. In default of $500 bail
he was committed to Jail.

Cochran for u. s. Senator.

The Williamsport Call, a labor
paper, is booming State Senator
Cochran for Uuited States senator,
as will be seen by the following:
The fight now being waged by
former State Senator Finn against
Senator Boies Penrose makes the
return of the latter to the United
States senate somewhat doubtful.
The division of the Republican
forces may result in the Democrats
welding the balance of power in
the next legislature, in which event
the choice could fall on no better
man than Stat Senator J. Henry
Cochran.
Mr.. Cochran has a peculiar fit
ness for the place. He possesses
breadth of view, Intelligence, saga
city and personal intelligence. No
one can doubt that J. Henry Coch-
ran would represent Pennsylvania
in the United States senate with
credit, honor aud dignity.

At State College.
Many Practical Farmers Taking All the Win
ter Course.

There are eighty-seven students
at the winter courses in agriculture
at the Pennsylvania State College.
Some of these men are studying
dairy manufacture and are fitting
themselves for work in creameries
and cheese factories. Some are
taking the horticultural course and
others are giving their time to
study of general agriculture. These
men come from the farms and have
good farm experience. The twelve
weeks embraced in these winter
courses are sufficient to give to
these practical men a considerable
knowledge of the underlying prin-
ciples. A majority of them will
return to their own farms, but
there are some who are available
for positions as farm superintend-
ents when their Study is completed

lied by John G.. McHenry, Repre-
sentative for the 10th Pennsylvan-

organized and a number in con-

There is usually a ceremonial
opening of the Grange banks.
Previous to Mr.. McHenry's under
taking in this connection it was not
usual for farmers in Pennsylvania
to own and manage financial insti-
tutions. and with the opening Of
the first of these, less than two
years ago, the farmer stockholders
OF Tioga county gathered i'll con
siderable numbers and made the

Costs On Justices.
Judge Hall Makes a Good Ruling.

In his instruction to the grand
jury at the opening of the Clinton
county court Judge Harry Alvin
Hall referred to the trivial cases
that are frequently returned to
court by justices of the peace, and
explained how they can be dispos-
ed of. He said that whenever such
a case came before them and there
was good reason to believe that it
was returned by the magistrate
merely for the purpose of getting
the fee, the grand jury is justified
in considering the magistrate as
the prosecutor and can put the
costs upon him the same as on any
other prosecutor.
The Columbian. [volume] (Bloomsburg, Pa.) 1866-1910, 1908-02-06

Mr.. A. P. Young, of Millville,
member of the State Board of Agri-
culture, gave the farmers of Penn
sylvania valuable tip in his ad-
dress before the board at Harris
burg last week, when he directed
their attention to the great care
that should be exercised this year
in the selection of their seed corn.
He pointed out to them that the
corn crop last year was largely soft
and that it was unfit for seed, as
most of it would not germinate.-
