DOG
Saved Woman From An At
tack By A COW

Sunbury, Feb. 1.-THE arrival of
the family's dog at the critical mo-
ment today probably saved the life of
Mrs. ID. II. Hennis, who was attacked
and trampled by an angry COW. Mrs.
Hennis was knocked down and tramp
led, but 1t is believed she will recover,
internal injuries not having been dis
closed.
Mrs. Hennis went into the stable
where the COW was quartered with a
newly-born calf. The COW knocked her
down and trampled on her, but hav-
ing no horns, was unable to gore the
PROSTATE woman. The dog, hearing
the struggle, came to the barn, but
could not get in, as the door was
closed. However, he scratched on the
door with his paws and made an ef-
fort to enter. The COW, believing the
dog had come to attack her calf, left
Mrs. Hennis and stood before the
door to prevent his entrance. This
gave Mrs. Henns an opportunity to
escape further injury.

After reading the article of Mr.. W.

dock which Mr.. Smith referred to
giving weights of cattle as being the
heaviest ever shipped out of the coun

before your readers the weight of a
steer grown and fed by an old neigh.
Dor of mine (who is now deceaseu)
in Pleasant township. This steer when
Mr.. Breeze sold him weighed 3.6i0
pounds at little over four years o.
age which without doubt holds the
championship for heavy weight in the
county. 1t brought in Pittsburg around
cents per cwt. cattle at the time
selling low, worth about cents. This
was perhaps 20 to 25 years ago when
Mr.. Breeze fed out this steer. | also
know of a Durham bull which Mr.
Morgan Booze purchased of Mr.. Geo
Mckee of Bladensburg weighing 1866
pounds and which he fed during the
winter (about the same time Mr.
Breeces steer was owned in the same
neighboroohd) and when sold weighed
something over 1890 pounds. There
are quite few people now living in
that community who well remember

An evidence of how the Democratic
State administration is abolishing
sinecures and bringing the manage
ment of the states affairs down to a
business basis is shown in the partial
appropriation bill for 1911, which has
passed both houses of the general as
sembly The 1911 partial appropria-
ton bill, which provides for the pay
ment of salaries in all state depart
ments and institutions, carried ST.
$50, ,652 and that of 1910 $2,710,35O, a
saving this year of $26,69S in the op-
Grating expenses of the state govern
ment. This having been accomplished
by eliminating public sinecures and
employing only clerks needed to
transact the public business. Govern
or Harmon and other Democratic
state officials are experts in the use
of the pairing knife, and future reduc-
tlons in administrative expenses will
give Ohio the cheapest, as well as the
best administration had for years.

Ohio, 1t seems, is sure to have a
uniform school text book law, where
by public schools except those in the
cities will be using uniform books.
Heretofore, 1t is charged the Ameri-
can School Book company has profit
ed by the diversity of books and by
forcing frequent changes of them in
the public schools. Parents of pupils
moving from one county to another
have been compelled to purchase en-
tire new outfits of books for their
children. The amount thus spent has
been considerable.
The Yount bill as introduced provid-
ed for County uniformity only, but a
caucus committee of Democrats could
not agree on that and 1t was decided
to offer as substitute measure pro-
viding for state uniformity. Such a
measure will be much stronger than
the original.

A statement by Republican pap
er that former Warden Gould of the
penitentiary, obtained an appointment
to the board of managers Of the pri-
son by forcing those under him to re-
sign, is absolutely without founda-
ton.
When Governor Harmon was in
Quoted into Office and became re-
sponsible for the management OF the
penitentiary, he, of his own motion,
decided upon a complete reorganiza-
tion OF the institution. The Governor
never discussed the reorganization
plan with Gould, Republican. After
carefully investigating the needs Of
the institution, the executive made his
selections. He appointed one lawyer,
two business men, a building contract
or and Gould, who was experienced
in prison management. The wisdom
of Governor Harmon's selection Is
shown in efficient management of the
penitentiary.

Goodyear No Rim Cut tires
make rim-cutting impossible.
We have run them flat in hun
dred tests, as far as 20 miles. We
have sold enough to fully equip
1851 cars. They have been six
years in use. In all this expert
ence there has never been single
instance of rim Routing.
The ordinary tire, when pune
tured, may be ruined in moment
by running fiat on the. rims. And
the damage is beyond repair.
Goodyear No Rim Cut tires
avoid all this worry, all this ex-
pense. They have done it for tens
of thousands.
Our No-Rim Cut feature is con-
trolled by our patents. Others
cannot make it. That is the only
reason why the old-style tire-the
clincher tire-is now recommended
by anybody.

per cent oversize. And we do it
without extra cost.
That means 10 per cent more air
to carry the load. 1t adds 10 per
cent to the carrying capacity. With
the average car this adds Is per
cent to the tire mileage. Yet it
costs you nothing extra.
We say 10 per cent, but late COM
parsons with standard clincher
tires show the average actual over
size to be 1919 per cent. measured
by air capacity. And it is the air
that carries the load.
This is a vital fact.
Nine times in ten, tires are over
loaded by the extras one adds to
car. And all cars at some time
are overloaded with passengers.
That is what causes blOw-Outs.
1t would pay you to pay for this
extra size. 1t certainly pays to &C
cept it when oversize tires cost the
same as ordinary tires.
These two features together
No-Rim-Cut and oversize-will cut
the average tire bill in two.

Farm Values
of Washington

Census Director Durand issued TO-
day the first official statement from
the Census Bureau relative to the
agricultural statistics of the state of
Washington collected at the Thir-
teenth Decennial United States
Census, April 10, 1910.
The total value of farm land and
buildings in the safe of Washington
increased from S115, 61O, 600 in 1900 to
$50, 142, 900 in 1910, an increase of
S454, 532, 600, 1893 per cent, according
to figures made public by the census
bureau today. The value of farm land
alone increased in this 10-year period
from 800, 81, 600 to $515, 918, 900, or
40 per cent.
The census bureau today made
public preliminary report of Wash
1ngtons agricultural statistics, and
while it may be subject to some slight
revision, as the figures are finally
checked up, the figures now given
out are believed to be substantially
correct.
RATES OF INCREASE AND
DECREASE.
1t is pointed out in the statement
today that the principal rates of in
crease in Washington in 1910, as
against 1900, are In the total value
of farm land alone, 419 per cent; In
the total value of farm land and build
ings, 1903 per cent; in the average
value per acre of farm land alone, 27o
per cent; in the average value per
acre of farm and and buildings, 2o9
per cent: in the total value Of farm
buildings, 233 per cent in the total
expenditures for labor, l8o per cent;
in the total expenditures for fertll-
izers ITO per cent; in the total value
of all farm implements and machinery,
166 GER cent; in the improved acre
age, 80 per cent; in the whole number
of farms, SO per cent, and in the total
acreage, 81 per cent.
The only decrease during the decade,
among the items for which percentages
are given, occurred in the average
acres per farm, IS per cent.
The statement shows in detail that
the number of farms reported in 1910
was 55, 744 as compared with 80, 2O2
in 1900. an increase of %, $40, or 90
per cent.

IL Years Spent in Testing Tires

The demand for Goodyear No-Rim-
Cut tires seems like sudden sensa-
ton. Last year our tire sales trebled
jumped to $S.500000. Yet. until
few months ago, these patented tires
cost one-fifth more than other stand
ard tires. This year Cd leading
motor car makers have contracted
for Goodyear No-Rim-Cut tires to
equip their latest models.
But back of this all lie twelve years
spent in tire making. During that
time we have tested out 200 separate
fabrics. We have made comparisons
of forty formulas for use in Goodyear
treadS.
We have had experts and inventors
constantly studying how to improve
these tires. And our tires of today
which have become the sensation
are the final result of all these years
of effort.

BALLOTS TO STATE TERN.
State Officials Rule on Question Al
fecting School Officials.

Harrisburg, Pa, Sept. 21:-
Candidates for school director
under the school code must be
listed on ballots under the term
for which they wish to serve,
says state officials to whom the
question has been referred many
times in the last few weeks.
1t seems that, in a number of
counties of the state, officials IN
charge OF ballots got the idea that
all candidates for school director
or member of the school board,
as the place is officially known,
could be Jumped. In some coun.
ties this was actually done, but
the mistake was discovered in
time.
The state officials hold that the
term Is as important as the office
and that, as long as papers had
to be filed for two, four or one
year term, that fact must be en-.
tered on the ballot.
