PINE MELLoTT.
Docs Education PAY?

In order to intelligently deter
mine if education pays on the
farm, the United States Office Of
Farm Management selected $40
farmers in district where the
land, so far as natural conditions
existed, was all alike. 273 owned
land and PAT rented land. The
farmers were divided into three
classes-common school educat-
ed, high school graduates, and
college men. The common school
land owners cleared an average
of $500; the high school land
owners cleared an average of
$3.50, and the college land owners
cleared an average of $500. The
figures given represents what
they were able to clear from their
lands after all expenses had been
deducted.
Among the tenants the incomes
given in the above named order
amounted to an average of $742,
81, 26S, and 81, ,72l respectively.
There can be but one conclusion
drawn from the foregoing figures
namely, that the owners managed
their farms in accordance with
their education, and the renters
called to their aid graded inteli-
gence, the college men making
use of better methods, keeping
in full touch with and under
standing of the work of the eX-
perimental station established by
the State for the purpose of max
ing agriculture pay bigger pro-
fits. Not all the owners were
failures, peither were all of the
high school and college men sue
cesses; but the average, as
shown, cannot be explained away.

How Disease Spreads.

Several more cases of erysipe-
las developed last week among
friends of the Anderson family
near Knobsville. 1t is supposed
by the attending physician that
the disease was contracted while
attending the funeral of Mr.. An
derson. We mention this in or
der to again call attention to the
necessity Of observing directions
given by physicians in cases of
virulent diseases. Germ diseases,
of which erysipelas is one, start
exactly as do plants, namely,
from seeds. The seeds of dis
ease are called germs, and are so
small that thousands of them may
be picked up on the point of a
pin. Therefore, any rag, towel
or hand that touches the patient,
or matter from a patient, may
contain millions of these germs
or seeds.

Nice Winter in Kansas.

In a letter from j. Frank Mar
tin a few days ago, he writes US
to change the address of the
NEWS from Liberal to Bucklin,
Kansas, where he expects to re-
side indefinitely. Frank says it
gives him a chill to read of the
big SHOWS we have had in Fulton
county since Christmas. He says
they have had but four inches of
snow altogether this winter.
Hogs, horses, and cattle, have
been pasturing on the wheat
fields right along since last Octo-
ber, without having seen the in
side of a barn, and they look as
sleek and fat as moles.

Rev. ROyer Returns.

While it was feared that on ac-
count of Rev. j. V. Rogers health
it might be deemed advisable to
give him a field of labor that did
not require quite so much physic-

nellsburg friends are gratified
that he was sent back to this
charge for another year. Among

The QUICK LUNCH.
Little Talks on Health and Hygiene by
Samuel G. Dixon, NJ. D., IL. D.,
Commissioner of Health.

In every town and village you
may behold staring at you in the
day time, and emblazoned in elec
trio lights at night, the words
QUICK LUNCH.
The Quick Lunch is distinctly
an American institution and one
of which we have no reason to be
proud. To the German, the En-
glishman or the Frenchman the
American habit of consuming
food as if in a perpetual race a
gainst time, is regarded as a bar
barous custom.
AS eating is essential to living,
it is well to consider it as de-
serving of attention, and not
treat the demand of our stom-
achs as if it were an impertinent
request to be answered curtly.
If the mind is concentrated upon
business or other matters, the
digestion suffers. Devote your
attention during meals to graft
flying your palate by the flavor Of
the food eaten. This gives de-
cided stimulus to digestion. Ex-
cessive sweetening, or the use of
condiments, is too often used to
replace the lack of true flavor, or
disguise the unappetizing condi-
tion of the food served.
The comparatively limited list
of viands which are customariIy
available in these temples of in
digestion seem for the most part
to be chosen with one primary
purpose in view-t their speedy
consumption. Pastries or fried
foods seem to be chiefly in de-
mand. These are generally wash
ed down with ice water or other
liquid which during the summer
months is usually cold enough to
paralyze digestion.
For the average worker the pc
riod between the morning and
the evening meal is from ten to
eleven hours. The body needs
nourishment to maintain physi-
cal or mental activity. Pastries
con tain but a small percentage
of nourishment. Coffee and tea
are stimulants pure and simple.
Fried food may almost be consid-
cred a national menace.
When you go to lunch take
your time to eat. Let the roar
of the hungry multitude around
you and the hurried walters leave
you undisturbed. The profit of
the proprietor is in the quickness
with which you consume your
lunch and make way for another
customer. You will profit indi-
vidually by taking reasonable
length of time to enjoy your food
and stimulate the diges tive
glands.

Leg Broken.

Last Thursday even ing as
Hayes Richards was riding a colt
along the lane leading from the
Cove road to W. S. Warthin's, it
suddenly SHE'D, and Hayes was
thrown to the ground. In the
struggle to keep the colt from
getting away, it stepped on his
right leg just above the ankle,
and fractured one of the bones.
DR.. Sappington was summoned
and reduced the fracture, but
Hayes will likely let somebody
else do most of the ploughing
this spring.

Driving Accident.

What might have been a more
serious accident came to Mr..
Courtney Carbaugh on Monday
evening of this week. Mr.. Car
baugh was driving across the
mountain from Knobsville to Rich
mond. He was in a new buggy
and driving a broncho. When
passing down through Aliens
Valley the Broncho frightened at
something, and wheeling around
suddenly in the road, crowded
the rear wheels of the buggy
down over the road taking with
them the buggy and the driver;
and last of all, the horse sat
down on the wreck. 1t was with
no little difficulty that Mr.. Car
baugh extricated himself by cut
ting his way back through the
top of the buggy. Fortunately,
he escaped with nothing worse
than badly sprained wrist, and
the bronx" was not much the
worse for the accident, but the

Let All Help.

Within the past few months
several well known county men
have visited this office and dis
cussed plans to carry on cam
paign of education that will lead
to more and better grades Of cat
tie for the county. One of them
has written several letters for
publication, but feels bashful
about making himself too con-
spicuous in the matter by doing
most of the talking. The gen.
tleman has made it very plain
that it is cheaper to raise high
grade stock than to raise scrub
stock that sells for little or no
more than cost of raising.
Why do these men try to have
their neighbors raise pure bred
stock? Why are they not salts
fled to raise it themselves and
let the other fellow stick to any
.old-kind? The answer is very
simple. When a community gets
its reputation up or down, prices
for the product of that commun-
ity move on the same plane.
When buyers come into a COM
munity they are at once affected
by the financial atmosphere of
the place, and they will bid ac-
cordingly. A few men cannot
work the change; it requires
many. All of US can remember
how, a few years ago, Baltimore
was looked upon as the best
place to ship worn out and scrub
horses, and no one ever thought
of shipping high priced horses to
that city-all on account Of the
reputation it had gained because
of the demand of the truck gar
deners for old, slow plugs that
would stand all day hitched to a
sweetpotato vine.
The News has again and again
offered its columns to the farm
ers of the county to use in the
discussion of topics of home in.
terests. We suggest that the
cattle question be thrashed out
until it is fully understood by a
sufficient number to bring about
the desired change. There seems
to be a vague idea abroad that
thoroughbreds are best, but an
easy going spirit has resulted in
slow progress toward the desir-
ed accomplishment.

NUMBER 90
FED TWENTY-FIVE TURKEYS.
Flock Starved Until They Had Lost All
Fear Of Humans and Appeared
To Be Grateful To BOy.

Some time during the winter a
flock of twenty-five wild turkeys
came to a spring close to the res
idence of ex-Commissioner Dan
lei Cromer near Fort Littleton.
The fowls were so nearly starved
that they paid little attention to
human beings. Raymond, his
twelve-year old son, gave them a
good feed of corn and that night
they roasted on the fences of the
field in which they were first fed.
From that time until the tur-
keys could forage for themselves.
Raymond fed them twelve quarts
of shelled corn every other day,
and in this manner, saved their
lives. During all this time the
birds never went very far away,
but remained in the field, roost-
ing on the fences at night, SEEM
ingly grateful to their benefactor.
Raymond is receiving the con-
gratulations of his friends and
neighbors for his humane spirit,
and when the fifteen or more
hens of the flock hatch this sum-
mer, he should land doubtless will
receive the aid of every true
sportsman in protecting t h e
broods and in discouraging pot
hunters from killing them out of
season. A gentleman's agree
ment among hunters to discour-
age illegal hunting does more to
protect game than the common
law.
In the same community, Elmer
Fraker brought a nice flock f
quail through the winter, by car
ing for them in his barnyard.
We congratulate our Fort Little
ton friends for their manly atti-
tude toward the wild creatures
that virtually committed them
selves to their mercy; and may
they obtain the promise made to
the merciful.

Typhoid Fever.

New Grenada, one of the most
healthful locations in the County
is just passing through an epi-
demic of typhoid fever. Bert

Guy Alloway, ha We passed
through it, and are now conva-
lescing; but Merrill Cunningham,
son of N. G. Cunningham is now
under the care of a physician and
a trained nurse at the home of
his parents; and Ernest, a broth

and before the operation could be
performed, it was found that ty-

such a stage as to make it i'm

AS an example of the workings
of the express companies since
the introduction of parcel post
competition, a package from New
York that formerly cost sixty

twenty-six cents by express, and
twenty-one cents by parcel post.
By express the package still costs

TWO Big FIRES.
George W. SipeS's House in Licking
Greek and Bard'S Mill in
Belfast Township.

The dwelling house of George
w. Sipes, 2 miles southwest of
Harrisonville, was totally de-
stroyed by fire last Sunday night,
together with most of the con-
tents.
Mrs. Sipes and her two little
daughters were away from home
on a visit, and about 9 o'clock,
Mr.. Sipes with his little son were
upstairs getting ready to retire,
when a kerosene lamp exploded,
throwing the blazing oil all over
the bed and mating. Mr.. Sipes's
first thought was for the safety
of his boy, whom he grabbed up,
threw some clothing about him,
and ran down stairs to a place of
safety. Then Mr. Sipes returned,
but the flames had made such
headway, that he was powerless
to subdue them, and he rushed
to the telephone, and aroused the
neighborhood. By the time as
sistance arrived there was no
chance to save anything except
some of the furniture on the
first floor.
About four or five years ago,
Mr.. Sipes lost his house, and
practically all his farm buildings
by fire, together with a large
quantity of hard wood and all
his carpenter tools, and did not
have a cents insurance. Being
a firstclass builder, he arose to
the emergency, and erected an
other house, the one that burned
last Sunday night, making it one
of the most modern rural houses
in the County. 1t had all hard
wood floors. The loss is partly
covered by insurance; but it is
hard luck to so soon again be
stripped by the fire fiend.
While George Sipes's house was
burning in Licking Creek town.
ship last Sunday night, a fire
was raging in Belfast township,
which totally destroyed Ross
Bard's Touring mill. This mill
to the older people is better
known as the Sipes Mill, having
been erected many years ago by
Emanuel Sipes, and later owned
by Capt Dixon. About four
years ago the farm and mill were
purchased by Ross Bard, who
spent about $4,000 in repairs,
placing in it a new steel water
wheel, steam engine, improved
roller process, concrete walls, and
otherwise making it an up-to-
date property. On Sunday, Ross
and family went over to Emma
vile to visit Ross's brother, leav-
ing his brother Sherman and
James Harr at home. These men
had gone to bed, but had not fall
len asleep when the light from
the burning mill shined in at
their window,
While Mr.. Bard had about
$250O insurance on the property,
this will only partially cover his
loss.
