IIUBBY WAS MAN OF WISDOM

as any woman can apply to her

realizes that he is up against II and

cites a typical instance: Speaking
of the fads and folibles Of the sweet

G. Harner of Mount Holly related
little incident which shows that at
least one poor old married man Is wise
to the ways of wiley. Some time ago,

The stunned expression on her face
would indicate that she had recog-

remainder of the act, and, as a con-
sequence, was sharply reprimanded
by the manager at its completion.
Stimulated by this, and encouraged
by the occasional puzzled glances
from his fiancee, telling him palmer

An elderly lady residing on Mount

THEY DANCE WHILE
 THE PUNCH FLOWS

With unabated zeal which speaks we'll for the enthusiasm of the winter, about 100 people assembled at Beattie's new lodging house, on First street, last Tuesday night and danced till they were good and tired
 MT. and Mrs. Beattie acted as host and hostess for the occasion assisted by J. D. Barnes in the capacity of floor manager and caller, while Gus Jones, the dope mixer, handed out ten gallons of the finest punch this side of Punch vile, The usual good grade of music was furnished by Bourret & Drake with piano, zylophone and drums, and the new floor quickly shone under the polishing feet of the dancers.
 Everyone present had a good time, as evidenced by the fact that there was ID one on the side lines when the game was at its best.

After serving faithfully as the pio- neer fire chief of Iditarod city, during which time he organized forces at no little inconvenience and with no little application, E. M. Sullivan, one of the city trustees who has done much to forward the interests of the town since it's inception, turned in his resignation at meeting of the Volunteer Fire De partment last Sunday evening, giving as his reason for so doing the fact that other business cares had made it inn possible for him to serve longer.
 Upon vote Robert Graham, the hust- ling real estate owner and builder, was elected to take his place.

One of the biggest things out ot doors hereabouts is that immense Pio- neer warm and cold storage warehouse just being finished by James Fredrick- son, Geo. Kinman and Chas. Kricksen- ger down at the lower end of the city, and which is just ready for occupancy.
 The big log structure covers space of ground 40x90 feet and has 700-ton capacity, which may not be taxed to its utmost unless the late season shipping exceeds present expectations. They will have a dock on the waterfront where large quantities of freight can be handled most expeditiously.

Agency of Charcoal.

hurallst.
Many poultry raisers do not realize
the worth and utility of charcoal in
poultry husbandry-some there are
who do not use it at all. Doctors
have long recognized it as one of the
most potent neutralizers and cor
receives for disordered digestion in
both man and beast. Poultry are
voracious eaters and, because of this
fact and that their food is often in
such condition as to produce various
stomach disorders, the use of char
coal would prove very beneficial.
When soft feed in the way of
mashes are fed to the fowls, charcoal
is very essential, for it corrects any
tendency of the food to sour and
greatly assists the process of diges-
ton. 1t has been proven that all
poultry will grow and fatten faster
and the meat will be more delicious
in flavor when charcoal is fed to
them regularly; in fact, in all the
large fattening plants charcoal is reg
ularly fed to all the fowls in the fat
tening coops. Charcoal can be pur-
chased at any poultry supply house,
but can easily be manufactured at
home. II you burn wood in your
stove, there will be plenty Of charcoal
in the ashes to feed a large flock Of
fowls. II you don't burn wood, take
some corn cobs- and put in the oven
till they are thoroughly charcoal.
Corn and cobs may also be partly
charred at times and fed to the hens
with profit.

Detroit, Mich. "A scheme to make
a 25-cent bleacher admission to Ben
nett Park, the home of the Detroit
Americans, serve as a season ticket
was baked by the police, who pulled
Sam Niesman, IA years old, from a
snug nest under the benches.
The police have been searching for
Sam since he disappeared from his
home ten days ago. He told his cap
tors that his desire to see the Detroit
Americans win every game and his
inability to secure admission tickets
regularly suggested the idea Of build
ing nest under the bleachers and
staying through the season. The
boy lived on stray scraps of food
picked up near the ball park.

Others may do as they yplease about
blowing under cornstalks in prepar-
ing ground for corn, but as for me |
am done with that practice forever.
This year tried it on fifty acres and
we are having terror of a time cul-
tivating the corn. | believe a man is
ahead in the end if he will burn his
stalks outright, or what is better, he
should cut most of his corn and feed
il fodder and all.
We have no grudge against college
professors, but it is amusing to note
how wild some of their statements
are. One of these fellows, who is
connected with the national depart
ment OF agriculture, advises farmers
to change their system of planting
corn; instead of checking it so that
the kernels drop together in a hill,
these should be placed at the corner
of an eight or ten-in h square. How
would you like to cross-cultivate corn
planted in that manner, especially if
il were just a little bit out in the
checking? That would be Fourth
of July picnic sure enough.
More farmers made a mistake in
planting their corn deep this year
than has been the case any time in
the last decade. II should always be
remembered that soil water moves
from below upward from a depth of
fifteen feet, so that corn planted two
inches or two and one-half inches
deep is always apt to find moisture
enough to terminate it,
Iput in a special seed-corn patch
this year, having the idea in mind of
getting supply of high-yielding corn.
There is no question in my mind but
what one can fix that type of corn
just as we'll as he can fix a good type
of animal, OF course the soil has to
be rich in order to get good yield
of corn, but that part of the problem
has been attended to in the years
gone by and the soil itself is actually
