MUSHROOMS IN MINE.

isn't real hard work After that all
you've got to do is see that II is kept
at the proper temperature by means
OF the fertilizer. In six weeks you get
your crop.
The mushroom market to some ex-
tent has been hurt by the plan adopt
ed by some farmers of giving away
mushrooms as a bonus to their Gus
toners with the other produce. A lot
of truck farmers are raising mush-
rooms in their cellars just for this pur-
pose.
The Long Island farmers haven't
taken up mushroom farming as COM
mercial venture to any extent and
most of the mushrooms brought here
from Long Island are natural ones.
They are in class by themselves and
don't bring anything like as much as
the artificial mushrooms. Most people
are afraid Of the natural mushroom

toadstool, | suppose. Anyway, you

But the boys grew up and neglected
to impress on their younger brothers
dread Of the curfew. The brothers
did not scamper home at the sound.

of It.
Meantime the housewives had be-
come accustomed to regulate their
clocks by the sound. and at nine
O'Clock they went to see If the time

Crops Grown cheapIy and Sue
cessfuIIy in Coal Regions.
Some Bright Person Who Knew Some.
thing About Plant Discovered That
Dark Underground Chambers
Were as Good as Cellars.

New York.-''Do you see these?"
remarked a man who raises mush-
rooms. as he pointed to a pile Of
mushrooms. We'll. | happen to know
that those mushrooms came out of a
coal mine in Pennsylvania
Seems funny, doesn't it, that mush-
rooms and coal should come from the
same place. but the fact is that quite
a few mushrooms are taken out Of the
mines now. Occasionally they help
to glut the market. too.
"Of course. as everybody knows.
mushrooms are raised in cellars, and
two essentials are proper fertilizer
carefully applied and an even tenn
perature. Some bright person who
knew something about mushrooms
discovered that when it came to grow
ing them artihcially the dark cham
bers of a mine we're az good as the
ordinary cellar. and that you could
raise mushrooms at less cost In them.
In the first place. the mules fur
nished just the right kind Of manure
for nothing, and then the temperature
of a mine is always even. so that Il
cost nothing to supply heat. There
are lots of places in the Pennsylvania
coal mines which can be used for
growing mushrooms. and before long
mine mushrooms are certain to be
quite a factor in the market. ! be
lleve.
The largest part OF New York's
supply OF mushrooms comes from
Pennsylvania anyway and some OF the
large growers are located in the coal
regions. hence II is not strange that
the idea Of growing them in mines
should be taken up there.
Nowadays the profit In raising
mushrooms for the market Is not
what it used to be. Formerly the
mushroom grower could easily get 81
a pound for them and was always
sure Of getting his crop taken as fast
as 1t matured. -Four thousands pounds
OF mushrooms might be called a fair
crop for the man who makes busi
ness OF growing them and as you can
get a crop every six weeks with care
full planning. you can see how profit
able it was then.
.The number OF mushroom raisers
has increased tremendously in the last
few years, with the result that last
week, for example. you could buy the
best mushrooms for 25 cents pound

niece. He was handed several black
headed pins for the purpose. AS he
was not an expert at the task Nc
Mann put the pins in his mouth fol
safekeeping and in his eagerness tc
do well swallowed one OF them.
More than year after swallowing
the pin he was troubled with sharr

Three years ago an x-ray was applied
to test the condition of his lungs. The
examination disclosed that the pin.
which McMann readily remembered to
have swallowed, was lodged in his left
lung and was causing serious trouble
with that organ
II was found that an operation would
be impossible and treatments were ap-
piled TO alter the course of the pin. the

About year ago X-ray examina'

time It was located within half an inch
of the hearts left rontricle and the
life Of McMann was despaired of.

watched and the physicians decided
that when the traveller got below the

formed successfully.
Three months ago 1t penetrated the
diaphragm and lodged in the muscles
Of McMann's back. where the action Of
the muscles forced It rapidly down

NO PRAYERS FOR SCHOOL
of Illinois State School Law at Belvidere.

Rockford, IL, June 9.-Graduation exercises of the South Belvidere high school were minus invocation or hene- diction, as a result of a protest by Rev Joseph Joyce, a Catholic priest. The protest was upheld in a written opinion given the school board by City Attorney Beister.
 Rev. Father Joyce made his com plaint on the ground the use of the Bible or any form of religious eXer- cises in public schools Is forbidden by state law, and said he had been in structed by Bishop Muldoon of the Rockford diocese to take action in court if necessary.
 The school board decided to elimi- nate the religious feature, and the 25 graduates pettiioned to have their di- plomas presented privately.
 The board ignored the petition, and some of the graduates remained away from the exercises.
