nogn, as stated in Wednesdays pa
pet. They are preparing to feed

day should be an interesting day at
the church, for Rev. Thomas Hous-
ton, the blind preacher whose lab
ors have been so successful at Riley

The death last August of E H.
Hartman is largely responsible for
the return to the stage of Margaret
Illfngton Bowse, which was recently
announced says a New York dis
paIGh. Her husband, Edward J.
Bowes, is the chief owner of several
thousand acres of Tacoma, Washing
ton, suburban real estate purchased
four years ago after the Hartman
railways began purchasing terminal
property there. The failure of the
Hartman railway since Hartman
death to build a separate railway has

property in the west end. Bowes
Indebtedness on his large holdings
is said to approximate 100000
Miss Illington's return to the stage is
prompted by desire to help heI
husband retain and develop all his
real estate holdings.
In little while farmers will be
more or less troubled with crows
pulling corn. Prof. Surface of the
Pennsylvania station recommends
that the seed be soaked a few min
utes in water containing a solution
of coal tar or gas tar and then
spread out and allowed to dry. This
makes the corn bitter and crows
viii not touch it, Another and bet
ter method is to scatter corn over
the fields at about the time the
planted crop is shooting through the
ground. The crow, however, is very
fond of grubs and the cut worm and
he searches for them where he usu-
ally finds them-in hills of corn. In
quest for this kind of food, he most
always takes kernel of the sprout-
ing corn along with the grub or cut
worm where he finds it. II he
would only take the grub and leave
the corn to grow he would be one
of the farmers best friends.
One OF the greatest fools on
Gods green earth is the fellow who
takes his roll to the circus with
him. A Wayne county farmer-a
man, by the way, who does not care
much about fire water-came to
