SOMERSET POMONA At
NEW PORTLAND
There Was Good Attendance and q
Fine Session.

FernWood Grange Is the North
Western grange in the county and
has its location up among the hills
in New Portland. II is a lively little
grange of about 40 members, and
gave the Pomona an invitation TO
come up there and hold special
session in September. The invitation
was accepted, and Tuesday Sept. &c
years program was made up last
January. Unfortunately the morning
opened with clouds and threatening
rain and only two of the officers, the
oyerseer and secretary were present
/ The vacant chairs were supplied and
the exercises of the day opened with
master of Fernwood grange, and H.
B. Ellis, overseer of the Pomona, re
sponded to the welcome The topics
for discussion were From what
classes of farm work do the farmers
of this section derive the most bene
| fit" and How shall we handle our
poultry to get the best returns in
eggs?" Those who took a part in
the discussion were: H. P. Norton, A
w. Reed, H. B. Ellis, S. F. Emerson.
G. E. Savage, w. H. Strickland d. S.
Jones, John Mitchell, Lewis Nor
ton, Mrs. A. j. Millay, Mrs. G. f.
Savage, Mrs. John Mitchell, Mrs. S.
f. Emerson, Mrs. A. w. Reed, Mr.
Burbank, Mr.. Johnson, and Mrs
Lander.
Dairying is now at the front as first
with orcharding and fruit raising as
second. Most of the speakers recon-
mend mixed farming instead of a
specially.
If one is making the production OF
eggs the main object, the white and
brown Leghorns with a wide range
and high fence. were the breeds to
keep, but for all round poultry the
white Wyandottes, Rhode Island
reds and Plymouth rocks, each had
their favorites
There was music at intervals by
an organized choir and various re-
marks for the good of the order.

People Who Rarely Wink.

There are people who rarely wink.
How they manage to get along with
out doing so is a marvel, but some
how or other they do. Some eyes are
naturally more moist than others, and
the very moist eye does not so much
need the assistance OF the lids to keep
the eyeball bright. 1t is a constitu-
tional matter for winking, though
under the control of the will, is done SC
quickly that 1t is practically an invol
untary action. Men wink when they
feel that the eye is uncomfortably dry
and when 1t does not become dry the
necessity for winking is not felt

A SOLON MANS SAGA.
C|0US DOG
Warren Rice Has q Dog That Takes
the Place of Hired Man on
His Farm.

Warren Rice of Scion has a shep-
herd dog that he considers worth a
dollar and a half day to him, or the
price he would have to pay hired
man. Teddy" the dog, does much
of the work that a hired man would
do. When Mr.. Rice goes of into the
back field, a mile distant, in the
morning to work, Teddy goes with
him. If he is cutting wood, when a
tree Is down and his master is cut
ting the limbs from it. Teddy grabs
hold of each one, and as 1t is cut off
pulls it away and runs back to get
another limb. When noon time
comes his master will say, Teddy,
we had better have dinner" and
Teddy goes to the house, where his
mistress has put up the dinner in a
pail, Teddy taking 1t back to the
woods He and his master eat dinner
| together. Mr.. Rice lives back little
way from the main road, and when
the mail man comes Teddy runs to
get the paper and bring it home.
Teddy is also a great help to his
mistress She raises quite number
of chickens and at night time she has
to catch them to place them in the
coop. After little time she did not
have to do this. She would merely
say, Teddy, 1t is time to get the
chickens in," and he would go out
catch them one by one in his mouth
and gently carry them to the COOP
and droD them in,

SUCCESS DEPENDS on THE MAN.

The entertaining stories that are
published from day to day about per-
sons who have accomplished aston
ishing things by moving to some
other part of the country do not al
ways serve good purpose.
1t depends mainly on the man him
self whether he is going to prosper
anywhere or not. The many alluring
things which are published to at
tract farmers are designed first of all
/ to sell the land. They are not issued
from philanthropic motives, and the
| individual will always find that sue
cess depends on his own efforts and
/ intelligence, no matter what his en-
vironments may be.
1t is interesting to learn of old
friends who have made good III a
new locality, aud it is pleasant to
! think of the good times we might
have in some other climate or on some
other kind of farm, but we must not
! forget that the lure of the big farm
the fruit ranch, the mild winters and
other far away things have been
fatal to scores where it has drawn
one to affluence
When a man is east he is apt to
think that the west offers him golden
opportunities. When he is west he
sees the advantage of the eastern
markets and transportation. If he
has been drawn south, he may dis
cover that the warm climate takes
the tuck out of him." while in the
! far north it may turn out to be too
cold for a comfortable living. The
| truth is that all sections of this re-
public are good and all have special
advantages.
In the last year the price of prod
uce has taken a great jump and the
little farm idea has, on this account,
been especially boosted This
straightaway shows what advantages
the eastern farmer has in being sur
rounded by the great markets and the
numerous railway lines. The thou
sands of city men who feel the need
of a country home can see many adj
vantages in the east. At the same
time the newer sections offer posi-
bilities to young and ambitious far
mers that the old locality do not seem
to contain. This article Is not to
make invidous comparisons, but
simply to point out that reasonable
energy and fair intelligence count for
more than the mere matter OF loca-
ton.
A new era has been reached in
farming. There is a new prosperity
which will enhance the wealth of the
rural property owners and add to the
dignity of the profession. 1t Is mere
than ever a question of brains, how
ever Diversified farming is a great
er and more urgent proposition today
than ever before BY this system
alone can the agriculturist strike the
market right and run his affairs on
a business basis We are to see the
business side of farming from this
on. and those who have the talent to
swing themselves into line with new
conditions will be heard from, no
matter where they live.

Another lawyers story arrives. We
are told that a man was charged with
picking a pocket the other day and
that when arraigned he pleaded guilty.
The case went to the jury, however,
and the verdict was not guilty. And
the court spoke as follows:
"You don't leave this court without
a stain on your character. By your
own confession you are thief By
the verdict of the jury you are liar"

Butter will lose it's fresh flavor in
two weeks.
We must learn more the value of

NEW LINE
OF Traction System through
the New Golf Addition
is Completed.

The Fairmont and Carksburg
Traction Company completed its ex-
tension through the new Goff addition
Thursday together with sidetracks
and turnouts. The new line shortens
the haul to the fair grounds $500 feet
and provides fifteen-minute service
instead of twenty-minute one as
heretofore. 1t will be found of great
convenience in conveying the crowds
to and from the fair and it will
prove big factor in the develop
ment of the new addition. The line
is one of the most substantially con
structed Of the system.
