"A hail-storm of no inconsIderable
proportion Monday afternoon, winding
up with good sprinkling of snow during
the night 30 that the hill tops appeared
like morning in January, high wind
straight out of the north all day yester-
day were so ne OF the spring accessories
which might have been expected in the
middle of March, but are not especi ally

last Saturday evening in the auditorium
of the school building. The entire school
building was lighted, candles being used
in the halls, but 1t was in the auditorium
that the decorations we're especially
pretty -pennants and potted plants being
used The Seniors proved themselves to
be clever hosts and hostesses, for the eve

kets of candy in the Juniors colors, white

The "swat the fly" csmpsign is al
ready in full swing. One swat in April,
we are told, will be worth a million swals
in August. But listen to the voice of
science as interpreted by Professor G. F.
Hodge. OF the department of biology at
Clark University: More than 100000
germs have been washed from the body
of one fly-which probably did not think
1t needed bath at that. About 100000
persons die by fly infection each year;
about $500, 900, 600 lost each year to the fly.
Each fly lays from $40 to 900 eggs, it lives
from two to four months and lays every
eight or ten days" II these figures are
only hal true they are big enough TO be
alarming, and show that every fly should
be killed on the spot.
The Coleman Il Watson mill at Johns
run is already well under ioof and work
on the extensive plant is progressing
nicely under NJ ilwright DeVlder, con-
siderable force of men being employed on
the job. Work on the railroad has be-
gun in earnest, and 1t is expected this
part of the plant will be carrying the
huge pine timber into the pond in ample
time for the sawyers when the mill
whistle blows its first blast to call the
crew to work. The contract for the grad
ing of the railroad has been let to Harry
Putnam of Oil City, and is already well
under way. Harry Watson, who is one
of the managers in these operations, be-
leves the mill will be turning out lum-
ber the first of August, and that the firm
will be able to launch several barges be-
fore the summer is over.
Capt. j. j. Haight of Cooper Tract,
Howe township, has well under way the
construction of his extensive gasoline
plant at Hastings, on the Sheffield IL Tio-
ne-ts railroad, in Howe township, He
will utilize the gas from upward of S0pro-
ducing wells on his extensive lease hold
ings in that territory and will turn out be-
tween 400 and 500 gallons of the valuable
fluid daily when in full operation. Two
80 horsepower engines will be installed,
and it will be a two-stage, belt driven
plant of modern design. A large quantity
of pipe, perhaps Is miles in extent will be
required, much of which has already
been unloaded at the station. The Cap
tain expects to drill half a dozen or more
additional wells on his property this
summer. These will be on lots 479l and

In an article in the May Woman's
Home Companion entitled "To Celebrate
Mothers Day., Margaret L. Sangster
states the facts of the celebration as fol-
lows: The second Sunday in May has in
recent years had the distinction af being
"Mothers' Day." Services in honor of
the mother, and in recognition of her
faithfulness, gentleness, and devotion to
the home, are held in many of the
churches and in most of the Sunday
schools. The white carnation has been
selected as the flower to be worn on the
corsage, belt, or coat lapel on Mothers
