Farmer Game.

For this game all pretend to be farm
equal sides. One of the sides goes of
at distance to determine upon what
fruit or vegetable to bring to town
and how to show the manner In which
1t was raised. Then the acting side
marches in line to the guessing side,
which says. "WhO are your" The acting
side announces Farmers" What do
you SELF" products from our farm"
How did you raise them" This way"
And the acting side goes through some
motion agreed upon which shows how
the potatoes We're dug or put into bags.
If corn Is chosen the planting may be
shown. or the cutting. the shocking or
the husking. When fruits are chosen
the players may pretend to be plant
ing. pruning. picking or packing.
As soon as the guessing side guesses
the product the acting side runs, for
the players on the other side try to
capture as many actors as possible. IL
the product Is not guessed, but Is given
up, the acting side chooses another
product and has another turn at act
ing. The object of the game Is not
only to guess the product. but to cap
ture farmers. The first side capturing
half of the farmers of the other side
wins the game. If the game starts out
with eight players on each side, the
side which grows to have twelve play
ers first wins the game.

UNFORTUNATE EVENTS.

Estimates of the loss of life in the
flood that overwhelmed the towns Of
Austin and Costello, Pa, diminished
when an army of volunteer rescuers
worked it's way into the masses Of
wreckage. In the opinion of many on
the ground the number of deaths
will not reach $50, while the less hope
full place the list of fatalities at 300.
The property loss will exceed S.
100000 and it is the general opinion
that the towns never will be rebuilt.
Two, at least, of the large plants will
not be reconstructed and a majority
of the business men of the towns have
been financially ruined. State officials
in charge of the situation, after
hasty canvass of the population, ex-
pressed the belief that not more than
$50 are dead in the wreckage. The
cause of the food was the breaking
of an immense dam; permitting the
water held back of it to sweep down
on the towns.
