The large barn on the farm of Thomas
Johnson, near Elam, Pa, was destroyed
by FIRE of unknown origin early Friday
morning last Fifteen head of cattle

and colt were gotten out of the burning
structure in safety. While the building
was in flames it was discovered the small
barn on the adjoining farm of Mrs. Jas.

treasury of the Rising Sun base ball team
of 1905, which disbanded in June of that

There had been long standing dispute
over the surplus remaining in the hands

however, were not recognized by the man

made the only fair disposition of the sur
plus possible under the circumstances

P. L. Hopper for certain property on the
river hills adjoining the farm recently pur-
chased from MI John Donnelly, and also
the railroad company's tracks, in order to
lay a switch to the stone quarry being
opened by the Caspari Stone Company,
but price could not be agreed upon.
An appointment had been made for Mr..
Hopper to meet Hon. Stevenson A. Will
liams and Major Hunter, of the company,
in Bel Air on Monday. and Mr.. Hopper
was present, as arranged, at this meeting.
An offer, better than at all previous con-
ferences, was made, but Mr.. Hopper said
that he would not consider the proposition,
as long as the company had taken his
property without his consent. The matter
will now be fought out in the courts. Mr.
Hopper was not aware that the switch had
been laid until he visited the scene on
Sunday afternoon.-Ledger, Havre de
Grace.

Open Air Schools Needed.

If the percentage of tuberculous chill
dreu recently ascertained by an investi
CATION in Stockholm, Sweden, (I.61 per
cent? were applied to the schools of the
United States, there would be 273.7oo
children between the ages of aud IS who
are positively affected with tuberculosis
according to statement issued today by
the National Association for the Study
and Prevention of tuberculosis. AS con.
trasted with this figure, there are only
eleven open air tuberculosis schools in
the entire country.
Special schools for tuberculous children
have now been established in Providence.
Boston, New York, Rochester, Washing.
ton, Hartford, Conn, Chicago and Pitts.
burg. New York has three schools and
Washington, D. c., two. The Board OF
Education of New York City is proposing
to establish three more, ani similar in
stitutions are being planned in Detroit,
Buffalo, Philadelphia, Cincinnati, and
Newark, N. J.
Atthe lowest estimate, however, ev, y
with all the schools now in operation and
those proposed, accommodations will moi
be provided for a of one per cent of the
children who need this special treatment,
In large number of cities, children with
tuberculosis are excluded from the public
schools, bnt in most instances, no special
provision is made for them. The National
Association declares that children who
are afflicted with tuberculosis are a
menace to the health of their school
mates Both on this account and because
they are physically unable to keep up in
their work, special schools are needed for
this class of children. Every city should
provide at least one well.equipped school
or special class room of this sort for each
rs. 900 population.
In cities like Providence, Boston and
New York, where outdoor schools have
been conducted for two years, the result
obtained from the treatment of children
in special tuberculosis open air schools
seems to show the great advantage of this
class of institutions. This, coupled will
the experience of open air schools in
Germany and England, proves that chill
dren can he cured Of tuberculosis and
keep up their school work, without an,
dapger to fellow pupils.

Woman's Home Companion For No
vember, 1909.

The city of Pittsburgh, the life of an
yer, all these are most entertainingly dis
cussed in the Woman's Home Companion
for November.
Special investigators who have gone to
live in Pittsburgh and who have had rare
opportunities to observe its social life,
say that Pittsburgh may belikened to a
huge pie, with upper and lower crust a
plenty, but noticeable lack of what the
good housewife realizes is the chief
feature-the filing"
As for the stage, the actress who tells
her story here has found that twenty
pounds of weight and good digestion are
but two of the things she paid for her ex-
perience.
But women will no doubt still venture
on the stage-just as women will still
struggle for the ballot--in spite of the fact
that in Denver according to an article by
a Denver woman politician in this issue)
the much-prized privilege has crumbled
to dust in their hands.
These women especially will be in
terested in the story of club-woman, who
resigned abruptly from all clubs and will
never go near them again.
Yes, women wilLcontinue to venture
and successfully-as witness the exper-
fence of Lillian Todd, the first woman to
build an aeroplane, who tells her re.
markable story in this months Woman's
Home Companion.
A very different woman is Queen Elena,
ideal mother, whose story is told by
Kellogg Durland.
A new detective story by Anna Kath-
arine Green in this issue begins we'll.
There are stories also by Kate Douglas
Wiggin, Alice Brown and many others.
And there is another chapter of Edward
Everett Hale's popular "reminiscences.
So much for pure entertainment. For
practical use there are the sixteen regular
departments. Especially interesting are
the two for mothers. Fashions in furs,
an article on hammered brass, "a Three
Thousand-Dollar House, are few of the
interesting, useful subjects covered.

REPUBLICAN MASS MEETING.
Ex-Congressman Schlrm and Other
Speakers Make Addresses.

The Sixth District Republican Social
Club held its first public meeting of the
campaign on Tuesday evening in the
public hall, Rising Sun, which was filled
to overfowing, the audience including
quite number of the colored brethren.
The Rising Sun Cornet Band paraded the
streets of the town before the meeting,
rendering several selections, and was in
attendance at, the hall, interspersing the
speaking with music.
B. P. Nichols, president of the club,
who presided, read list of vice-presidents
and introduced the speakers. Letters
from F. E. Williams, candidate for Comp
troller, and DR.. ]. l. France, regretting
their inability to be present, were read.
Charles A. Benjamin, candidate for the
State Senate. was the first speaker, and
devoted himself to local affairs, charging
loose management in the county offices
under democratic regime and promising
better order of things if the republicans
were elected to Office. The speaker also
took fling at the State road work and
Commission, declaring the work in pro
gress in this District was being done for
political effect alone, and would be aban-
doned Immediately after the election.
Ex-Congress nan Charles R. Schirm, of
Baltimore, followed with the speech of the
evening, his address consuming an hour
and quarters time and being a scathing
arraignment and bitter denunciation of
the democratic administration, or ring
as he styled it. Governor Crothers was be-
rated in the most bitterly partisan manner,
the election law and franchise amendment
denounced, the negro upheld as law
abiding, peaceable and industrious citizen,
the road commission ridiculed and charged
with using the means at hand in upbuild-
ing vast political machine for corrupt
political purposes, etc, etc. In point of
fact the speech fairly bristled with in
vective, and was by far the most caustic
political TRADE ever delivered to an au-
dience in this town.
Henry M. Mccullough, Esq, of the
Elkton Bar, closed the meeting with
brief speech directed principally against
the disffanchise amendment.
The committee in charge expended no
little effort in decorating the stage, which
was artistically draped with the stars and
stripes, cut flowers and potted plants
being also used to advantage, the whole
producing pleasing effect to the eye.
Quite a number of ladies were in atten-
dance at the meeting, which did not ad-
journ until after eleven o'clock.

 The writer very we'll states that land loses it's productive force be- casuse the soil is washed away rather than worn out.
 There is a remedy for washing soil in this territory.
 Lespideza grass sowed on any hillside will stop the wash. This grass is being used now by the llli- nois Central railway in many of it's cuts. It catches on the steep grades and in a few years the slopes of the cuts are entirely GOV cred with green grass.
 There are certain things that hold the fertility of the soil. There are certain things in the soil that produce plants. Unless these things are in the soil, it will not grow plants.
 Mastering scientific knowledge of the soil enables the farmer to apply prescription to each sick field for the very thing it needs.
 There is no reason why any part of the United States should ever be permitted to become worn out, but if people farm in ignorance, the whole country will become worn out.-Commercial Appeal.
