G. Brent appeared for the commonwealth.
The court suspended judgment TN the
case at the instance of Attorney Garner
who said he had not determined whether
or not an appeal would be taken TO the
corporation court.
1t is said this may result in the strict
enforcement of the law against Obstruct-
ing sidewalks, especially on King street.
Should this be done 1t would mean that
many swinging signs, show cases ana
other articles, by means of which the
merchants advertise their wares, would
have to be removed.
This is the first time such q matter has
been brought to the attention Of the court
in recent years.

What the BOYS Thouaht,

DR.. Martin G. Brumbaugh Of Phila-

inent educator who one day visited
one Of the elementary schools.
"The teacher asked him If he
wished to say word or two" said
Dr. Brumbaugh, and he did. He de-
cided to illustrate point he was
making by a problem in long division,
the intricacies of which the class had
just mastered. He put down the nee
essary figures and then said:
"'Now, let us see how many times
this number will go into the other.
Let us try six He tried six, and, as
he intended, six wouldn't do. Well,
let's try five, then he said. Five was
all right, and he went ahead with his
talk

SEED CORN OF UNIFORM SIZE
Every Farmer Should Recognize Its

Every farmer should realize the i'm.

COST OF FARMHOUSE LIGHTS

relative value of each form of light

conclusions:
"All kerosene lights without mantle
are of very poor quality, very unlike
daylight, hard on the eyes and hence
likely to produce pain and nervous
irritation and injury to health.
"Acetylenc, gasoline and alcohol

"By reason Of the very excellent
quality of acetylene light and taking

and the effects on general health, that
may result from the use of ordinary
kerosene light the former may be
