Takes Effect August First,

1t may not be generally known
that new feeding stuffs law was
enacted by the last legislature to
take effect on the first day of Au.
gust of this year. This new law
limits the amount of ground corn
cobs, and oat hulls that can be
used in mixed feeds, prohibits
the use of rice hulls, peanut hulls
and weed seeds as adulterants IN
concentrated commercial feeding
stuffs, and so make it possible to
free the markets of Pennsylvania
from undesirable feeds.
The cooperation of all manu-
facturers of, and dealers in, feed
ing stuffs as we'll as of the public
press, is solicited in the effort to
carry out the provisions of this
new law.
Copies Of the new law will be
sent to any one making appllca-
ton for the same to the Depart
ment of Agriculture, Harrisburg,
Pa.

Gadding Girls!

The Village Record says that
many of the mothers of West
Chester ere too indulgent with
their girls; they let them CAD
about the streets too much at
night and what is true of the
mothers of West Chester is also
true of the nam mas of other
towns.
The older girls are now devel-
oplng into fine young women, but
another crop of gadding girls has
come on and we hope no ones
modesty will be shocked by say
ing that these little flirts ought
to be spanked. They are be-
tween IA and II years old aud are
so everlastingly boy.struck that
they can't SIT still. If their
mothers knew the type of boys
and men some of the girls are
running with their mothers would
have fits.
But their mothers know moth
ing of the situation. They think
their little girls are so sweet and
pure that nothing can harm them.
The truth Is that these children
are made of the kind of mud that
we all are made of and are just
as liable to temptation as older
people and thousand times less
experienced. And their mothers
let them gad the streets in the
evening and flirt with all kinds of
boys, and their mothers wonder
how the devil got them and think
the girls must 'take after their
father" There is just two
things that will keep girls
straight at that age, one is PLAIN
clothes and the other is home
duties.

TERRIBLE EXPERIENCE.

Three Days.

Orland Woman Alone and Helpless
Three Days.
Alone and helpless three days, without
food or water, was the terrible experience
last week OF an aged Orland woman, Mrs.
William French.
Mrs. French is eighty-one years OF age.
She had spent the summer with her sons
family at her old home mile from
Orland village. Her son and family left
some days ago for their home in Paw
tucket, r. l., where Mrs. French intended
to join them in few days for the winter.
Thursday afternoon in attempting to
open the screen door the knob gave way
and she fell striking her head. She was
unable to get up or help herself, but man
age to crawl to her bedroom in the rear of
the house, and to pull some of the bed
clothes partially over herself.
There she lay until Sunday afternoon,
when she was found by neighbors who
had called before, but not seeing her
about, supposed she had left for Paw
tucket. When found she was in pitia BILE
condition, semi-conscious, and weak for
want of food. She could not have sur
rived much longer.
Though the shock, especially to one OF
her years, is great, it is now believed Mrs.
French will recover.

DROWNED AT PATTEN's POND
Two Surry Boys Lost Lives by Capsiz-
Ing Boat.

Ing Boat.
Ernest A. Woodman, aged nineteen
years, and Harry H. Gott, aged eighteen
years, both OF Surry, were drowned at
Patterns pond last Wednesday afternoon
about 4 o'clock. The bodies were re-
covered about o'clock the same evening.
Woodman was the adopted son Of Webster
jellison, and Gott was the son Of Mrs.
Frank Ingalls, ty previous marriage.
The boys had gone to the pond on
hunting trip. firing Of hunting, they
left their own boat on shore and took .
larger row boat owned by Capt. Mckay, OF
Surry, and rugged upa sail. They knew
nothing of managing q sailboat, but there
was little wind, and they amused them
selves most of the afternoon sailing, drift
ing and rowing about the pond.
Just how they succeeded in upsetting
the boat is uncertain. 1t is q large, stiff
boat, and there was not wind enough to
capsize her even with the poorest manage
ment. 1t is supposed one of the boys must
have stood up in the bow Of the boat and
attempted to 20 around the mast, as they
had been seen to do earlier in the day,
! thus throwing his weight on ths mast and
pulling the boat over.
The first known OF their plight was
when campers across the pond at the
Mosely cove shore heard their cries for
help. The boat was on her side near the
lower end Of the "middle-ground", so-
called, and the boys we're in the water,
trying to pull themselves upon the boat.
Herman E. Hill and John A. Stuart, who
were fishing from the rocks on the eastern
shore, jumped into their boats TO row to
| the boys assistance. 1t was not more than
a fve-minute row, and Mr.. Stuart was
within hundred feet Of the boys when
they lost their hold on the overturned
| boat and sank.
! The boys went down in about twelve
| feet of water. Search was at once begun
| for the bodies, but it was late in the even
| ing before they were recovered. Coroner
Simonton was summoned, but deemed an
inquest unnecessary, and gave permission
| for the removal of the bodies to the homes
| in Surry.
