It is evident that Douglas showed Clifton no mercy, but just plowed the eleven to pieces in supreme ef- fort to make a bigger run of figures against them than did Bisbee. It's all right. Whatever else Bisbee may be accused of, there a little bit of consideration slowed away with it all. Bisbee has tricks up her sleeve that were not brought forth during the Clifton game. They are being re- served for Douglas benefit.

Clifton never had a look in against the beefy home talent, who ripped up their frail line as though it were pasteboard, scoring at will. The local team is much elated over its showing as compared with that of Bisbee high. swho eDly scored 20 points against the Clfftonites.

A Great Chance on the Farm.

In recent issue the Turf, Farm AMI
Home discusses in interesting fashion
one of the many respects in which New
England farm life differs much today
from that of a generation ago. This f.
the decreasing degree in which the
farmers of this section furnish their
homes and supply their tables from the
products of their own farms. The
editor tells of an old-time Thanks
giving, the kind with which we are ali
familiar through family traditions and
the "reminiscences Of our elders, when
the many good things heaped upon the
table were all from the home field
garden, orchard and farmyard, when
the table cloth was of linen made at
home from flax raised in the fields, and
the table itself and the chairs were Of
home production Having presented in
detail that alluring picture of the good
old times, the editor of the Turf, Farm
and Home proceeds to tell of a goth
century Thanksgiving celebration on n
Maine farm. He goes on as follows:
The lads have become old and
grizzly, and they in turn become the
hosts and invite the children and grand
children to gather around the festive
board and partake of a farmers fea s..
The visitors were met at the depot by
grandpa driving pair of western bred
horses hitched to pung brought from
Indiana. Grandma meets them at the
door and ushers them into the sitting
room, where a small fire burning coal
from Pennsylvania is dimly glowing in
the CRATE built into the cOmmodious old
fashioned fire place of former days.
A modern oak table from Grand
Rapids, Mich, is in its accustomed
place in the dining room. but is
beauty is all hiden by elaborate Irish
linen covers. Great preparations have
been made for the dinner. A Western
with Cape Cod cranberry sauce near
at hand. Dreamed oysters right from
ole Virginia and Maryland capon are
also much in evidence. Canned apples
from New York, Vermont cheese, Con-
necticut onions, New Brunswick
turnips and cabbage. squash from New
Jersey, Valencia oranges, celery from
Boston and several kinds of HEM
pickles help to make the dinner appe-
tiZing. The Nonesuch mince meat for
the pie was prepared in Syracuse and
naturally was loaded with material 50
that it would keep in all climates. The
figs came from Spain and the nuts and
coffee from Brazil, the tea from Japan
and the milk was canned in New York
while the sugar was from Cuba Ard

FRENCH CAVE JEWELLERS.
Two Million Troglodytes, Mostly
Peasants, in the Republic.

"There are no fewer than 100000
cave jewellers in France writes a
traveller whether you travel north,
south east or west, you Will find these
curious limitations of the homes or
primitive man. They stretch for fully
seventy miles along the valley OF the
Loire, from Blois to Saumur, and as
the train proceeds you can catch a
glimpse from time to time of their pic
turesque entrances, surrounded by
flowers ana verdure. AS likely as not
YOU will see the inhabitants standing
or sitting in front of their mysterious
looking caverns, and unless you have
learned the contrary. you VIII be m
clined to imagine that they possess
some of the charactistics of the tro-
glodytes Of old and that their homes
are mere lens. Not SO, as you Will
find on visiting them.
'They are nearly all Well-to-do peas
ants, owners, perhaps. of some OF the
vineyards that deck the slopes on all
sides, and their habitations are, as a
rule. both healthy and comfortably
furnished. These singular houses are
re1na rkaoly cool in summer without
being in the least bit damp, While IN
winter they can be warmed much more
easily and better than ordinary apart
ments. The health of the modern tro-
glodyte is as a rule, excellent, and IL
is not uncommon to find centenarians
among them. This, however. is by no
means surprising when we consider
that their homes are not only health
ful to live in. but are also comfortably
furnished and fitted up.
"In the majority of cases these rock
houses were not excavated for the
special purpose of being inhabited but
with the object of obtaining stone for
the building of houses. At Rochecor-
bon there is a rock dwelling carved
out of single block of stone, and the
ingenious owner. in addition to max
ing a two-storv villa therefrom. mas

CELEBRATING on the Hudson.

| The New York papers are now CIV
ing US details of the Hudson-Fulton
celebration which is to be held next
fall. the 200th anniversary of Henry
Hudsnn's voyage and the Tooth an
Inivcrsarv of the first steamboat. The
opening Gay Will be September q
and the total expense of the af-
fair as figured cut by the city comp
troller is S1,y75o0o. Nearly 100000
of this will be devoted to historical pa
| radrs and no less than 100000 to illu-
miation There will be 500 medals for
| official guests, to be struck off at a
| cost of $50 each, while two special
| medals costing $1,000 each will be sent
| to King Edward of England and Queen
Wilhclmina of Holland.
| The replica of the Clermont, the first
| Fulton steamboat. will represent an eX-
penditure of $4,000, while that of the
Half Moon will be at the expense of
Holland, though $4,000 will be set apart
for the entertainment of the Dutch del
| egates. No celebration is complete
these days without a display of aero
nautics, and for these $4,000 will be
provided The enthusiasm for aerial
navigation at this time is probably
greater than it WAS for steamboats, a
| hundred wears ago. because the mar
veis Of development that this country
| has experienced in that period have
given almost infinite bounds to our
! faith in its poteEtialities. New York
city expects population of six millions
during this celebration, and it will be
| so elaborate and varied that repetitions
| of many of it's features will have to be
| given in different sections of the great
s,rvation will be adequate for the &C
| ccmmodation of the multitude.
The escort for the reproductions OF
the two vessels will make the most
elaborate water parade in the courtry's
histary, if the program is fully car
ried out, and there will be miner cele-
bra;icns of various kinds for the entire
hundred and fifty miles between New
| York and Albany. All this must prove
| interesting and perhaps satisfying. ev-
on though the Hamlet of the piece is tC
be left out. The most ambitious me-
mortal of the events celebrated, the
Hudson bridge across the Spuyten
Duyvil from Inwood Heights, has not
vet had even a beginning, but perhaps
it's corner stone can be laid as a part
of these commemorative obseIvanoes
OF course the cost of this new bridge
which will be the really enduring fea-
ture of the celebration. is not included
in the comptroller's figures quoted
above 1t remains to be seen lust how
much, if any, this celebration will cut
into the Alaska Yukon Pacific EXPOSE
ton at Seattle. and no doubt the people
of the northwest are sorry it is to come

How to live on six cents day has
been solved in Chicago, if charges
made by the citizens Association
against the sheriff prove to be true
The association is seeking to force the
sheriff to expend a little more of the
20 1-2 cents a day he receives for each
prisoner on food. I'VE found" says
the association, latter thorough, inves-
tigation, that the grade of beef plates
or biscuits used in feeding the prison
ers could be bought for four cents a
pound or less. This indicates clearly
that the cost of the meat fed to the
prisoners does not exceed two cents a
DAY man. The midday meal, in ad-
d'tion to the meat. consists only of
piece Of bread and vegetable. The
Total cost of this meal, according to the
estimates given the association, does
not much exceed three cents. For
breakfast and supper the prisoners are
given only a piece of bread and tin
cup of coffee. The cost of these meals
certainly does not exceed 1-2 cents

SYNTAx CHINA.
Its Interesting History-Extravasant
Prices for it.

In almost every collection of "Old
Blue" YOU will find at least one exam
pie Of Syntax china, perhaps the most
famous of all the different series made
by Clcws. The history of the pictures
on this china is amusing, for the text
was written around the pictures.
Thomas Rowlandson, caricaturlst
says the Circle Magazine, made Sc
ries of pictures representing an elderly
Clergyman and schoolmaster occupying
his holidays by travelling in search OF
what he called "the picturesque"
A printer, Il. Alderman, saw the pic
lures and called on a man named Will
liam Comb to make the verses. This
he did, and the pictures and verses
made such a success when they hrSt
came out. about 1915, that many edl-
TORS of the first book. called DIR. Syn
tax in search of the Picturesque were
published"
This William Comb who wrote the
verses was for 43 years confined to the
Kings Bench debtors prison and 1t
seems a strange place in which to
evolve comical ideas. He was so years
old when he wrote the Second Tour
in 1920
He not only wrote the verses for this
first book but for a second volume call
ed Second Tour of DR.. SyntaX in
Search of Consolation" This was
brought out in 1870, and in 1921 the
third volume was published and named
Third Tour of pr. Syntax in Search of
a Wife" Thirty-odd designs from the
books were used by Clews on sets OF
china.
Although the work on this series of
pictures is good and clear the values
which are placed on the different pieces
are all out cf proportion to their merit.
Some of the platters bring three or four
hundred dollars and the plates as high
as thirty or forty.

impossible for these three members to

of such appropriations they never fail
to turn the guns of their harshest crit

no doubt voted for such appropriations

MAINE PEAT AS FUEL.
A Valuable Resource Investigated by
State Survey Commission.

Pete is partly decomposed vegetable
matter that has formed either where
the ground is saturatd with water
most of the time Or where it is perma-
mently covered with water 1t is the
dark-coloreG or nearly black soil found
in boys and swamps, commonly known
as muck, although technically a dis
tinction is made between peat and
muck, the latter name being restricted
to those forms of swamp deposits that
contain too much mineral matter to
burn freely. Dry peat may be very
fibrous and light colored or compact
AMI structureless and dark brown or
black. 1t is usually somewhat lighter
in color when dry than when freshly
dug When wet it contains as a rule
from so to so per cent. or more of
water; that is, short ton of wet peat
rarely contains more than 300 pounds
of dry peat and may yield as little as
100 pounds. In the wet condition it is
entirely noncombustible, and the vari-
Gus processes by which it is prepared
for use or market consist principally
of methods for Kidding it of water
quickly and cheaply and for increasing
it's fuel efficiency and transportability.
The great peat deposits that are
widely scattered in the northern part
of the United States have at various
times aroused strong public interest.
In the winter of 1923, for instance
when the strike of the coal miners in
the anthracite region of Pennsylvania
brought the country to realize that it
was to a large extent dependent on
these miners and their employers for
an important part of it's fuel supply, a
number Of writer's familiar with the
condition in the countries of northern
Europe called attention to the fact that
those countries, possessing climate
much more severe than ours. were US
ing great quantities of pete for fuel,
while in this country, although the ma
terial was abundant, it had only eXcep-
ticnally been prepared for use and then
in the crudest way. During the next
few months many experimental and
speculative plants were established to
convert peat into fuel, but unfortu
nately many of these attempts We're
financially unsuccessful, and as the
strike was soon over and coal could
again be had at reasonable prices and
very little peat fuel was put on the
market at any price, interest in peat
waned and at the present time the
public is almost indifferent to it. In
the few places where it can be pur-
chased, however. it finds ready sale
and is thoroughly satisfactory for all
domestic uses.
An interesting account of the nature,
origin, and uses of peat appears in a
report by r. s. Basin and G. A. Davis,
on the peat deposits of Maine, which
has just been published by the United
States Geological Survey as Bulletin
376. Copies of this bulletin may be
obtained free of charge by applying to
the Director of the Survey at Wash
ingtOn, d. g.
