Greene for National Delegate.

Homer Greene, the talented law
yer, author ana puDllcist, oil Homes
uale, is a candidate tor delegate to
the National hepuDiiCan convention.
1he district is entitled to two deIe-
gates and his running mate will be
John w. Codding, OF Towanda, whose
record Tor loyal, clean cut and ABOVE
board methods commend him to the
hepuDllCan voters OF this district.
Henry H. Manner, OF Montrose, and
u. w. Sturdeyant, of Laceyvilie, are
candidates Tor alternates. All of
these men, IL elected, will go to the
convention unpledged, so that in case
oil any contest or should the prelimin-
airy campaign get so bitter that in the
opinion of the membership OF the
convention neither Taft nor Roose-
welt could be elected they would be
in a position to vote for a comprom-
ise candidate, like Hughes, of New
YORK, whose name has been frequent
ly mentioned as a dark horse" or
some other good man whom both
factions could unite upon. Both
Messrs. Greene and Codding are hon
orable and patriotic gentlemen who
will hold the party and the public
good above the ambitions of any man
or faction. 1t is impossible now to
tell what crisis may arise at the time
OF the convention in Chicago, and
we believe the district will be well
and intelligently represented if these
men are elected and allowed to ex-
ercise their own common sense and

Non-Residents Fishing Law.

The fish department OF New York
state will try and pass a nonresident
hshing license bill at this session of
the legislature placing a fee of $500
per year on all nonresident fisher
men. This Is the same kind of a
law that came up in this state last
winter and was defeated by the unit
ed efforts of the different sporting
clubs throughout the state and the
sportsmen in New York state are TAX
ing the same stand as fast as they
realize where they will be If the bill
is passed. This state will surely pass
one next winter if this measure is
passed in York state now and as New
York and Pennsylvania bound each
other for $50 miles and the residents
from one state fish as much in one
state as they do in the other along
the boundary, and for that reason
every fisherman in New York state
should write to their Assemblyman
and State Senator to vote against this
measure and also to the State Fish
department. II this measure is pass
ed and then next winter one enacted
in this state, the people who come
from Jersey and New York to spend
few weeks during the summer along
the Delaware river will have to take
out license, and 1t will drive sum-
mer boarders where they can enjoy
few days fishing without paying two
dollars for the privilege. This law II
passed will affect the Erie r. r.
TO great extent, as they carry all
the summer travel along the bound
airy.
If every sportsman will take the
matter up with some friend in York
state and have them write a few let
ters to the proper officials much good
will come of 1t. 1t will affect every
one from this place who owns a cot
tage up the river and 1t will make a
yiolator of people where they are do
ing right. The Sportsmen Club from
here has taken the matter up with
the York state authorities and expect
to see the bill defeated, II enough in
terest can be created against its pas
sage. and the people there look after
the interests OF their neighbors the
same as our sportsmen did last win
ter.

Reasons For Inventing the Long
Stroke Motor.

Necessity is the mother of inven-
tion." This phrase may sound trite
enough in everyday life, but it GER
tainly is responsible for one of the
latest fads in motor design and that
is the long stroke motor. Sometime
ago road race was promoted in Eu-
rope in which all the cars were limit
ed to a bore of inches for four-cyl-
inder motors. Immediately design
ers began to experiment with a long
stroke, and some went so far as to
build engines with abnormally long
strokes. In fact, they were freaks"
yet these same little cars made phen-
omenal time in the race and the long
stroke motor has come to stay.
There is another reason for the
adoption of long stroke. 1t is an ad-
mltted fact that horsepower depends
to a great extent on the stroke of a
motor, and yet most cars are taxed
for horsepower according to a form
ula which deals with the bore of the
motor and disregards the stroke.
This allows makers of long motors
to rate their engines low and still
develop great power.
more power in one way over another
unless it can be done so as to i'm
prove the performance of the mo-
tor-i.e., make it tighter, cheaper,
quieter, easier controlled, more eff
cient or of longer life. The ques-
tion is whether the long stroke mo-
tor does this and whether makers
are likely to adopt it on their belief
OF its good qualities or more for it's
advertising value as a novelty. We
see evidences of this in the proud
assertion of many makers as to
their long stroke engine when the
stroke is one-quarter inch longer
than the bore diameter.
In order properly to compare mo-
tors of short and long strokes it is
necessary to have the correct rela-
ton OF allowable piston speeds.
The relations of piston speed have
been well defined by the tests and
conclusions of the horsepower form
ula committee representing the in
corporated Institution of Automobile
Engineers of England, the Royal Au-
tomobile Club and the Society of
Motor Manufacturers and Traders.
One hundred and forty-four engines
were tested.
A conclusion from these tests
showed that the larger the bore the
lighter the mean effective pressure,
which proves that between two en-
gins of equal power the one with
the larger bore and shorter stroke
that is, the short stroke engine
will have a higher mean effective
pressure in the cylinder, and there
fore higher efficiency.

we heard singing in the woods far

that there would be some one on our

gone but few miles, until we heard

Watching Streams of the State.

Valuable data on the manner in
which the unusually heavy ice of this
winter broke up on the streams of
the State this winter is being con-
tained by the State Water Supply
Commission from its guaging experts
and field workers. Practically every
stream of any size in the State was
observed last fall and again during
the winter after the ice had formed,
the results of the extraordinary cold
weather being noted.
1t is believed that when reports
are compiled that information never
gathered Systematically about the
streams in very cold winters will be
obtaintable and the behaviour of the
rivers and large creeks when the ice
moved out has been noted so that
1t may be studied in the future when
matters pertaining to water supply
and changes to river banks come up.

Higher Education and Humor

higher EDUCATION anu humoF'
Some people try to be funny with
painful results, and others attempt to
be serious and are really funny. 1t is
all In the way they do it. Perhaps the
serious person that is funniest is the
one who attempts to answer joke.
The only way to answer one joke Is
by another, and the would be serious
answer becomes a joke. All of this
adds to the hilarlty of the nations and
makes life more worth while. Below
Is the latest case in point:
A newspaper paragraph which has been
given wide publicity lately comments on
statistics gathered by the authorities OF
Bryn MaWr college on the families OF Its
married alumnae. 1t states that alumnae
married in 1898 nave AN average OF four
children each, while alumnae married in
1910 have an average of ree-tenths OF
child each, and this terrible falling off is
considered conclusive proof Of n rapidly
advancing race suicide due to the higher
education OF women.
A glance al the statistics quoted shows
the fallacy of the argument The statis-
ties are dated Jan. /, 1872. 50 that alumnae
twelve and twenty -four months when the
statistics We're gathered. II Is hardly
reasonable to expect women married on
an average eighteen months to have -four
children each. The alumnao married In
1898 had on the other hand thirteen years
OF marriage. In which their average Of
four children each were born--that is one
child every three and one-quarter years.
What is needed apparently is more higher
education for newspaper paragraphists
when they founder into the realms of sta
tlstics.
Inasmuch as the newspaper para
graph referred to was evidently In
tended to be funny, and the attempted
answer Is meant to be serious, the
moral obviously Is that what Is really
needed is more higher education" of
statlstlclans In humor.

DIE STEWART OF ARVILLA
ENDED OWN LIFE.

Grand Forks, N. d. Nov. 5.-After
making a thorough investigation into
the death of Miss Sadie Stewart, who
killed at the home of her cousin,
Mrs. Thomas Hosgood of Arvilla
Saturday night, the coroner's jury
Yesterday returned a verdict of suicide.
Coroner H~etherington. who visited the
scene of the tragedy Immediately after
1t occurred, disagrees with the jury,
however, as he believes her death was
entirely accidental.
Miss Stewart was in her room at the
time the shooting occurred. Just a
Few minutes before, she had taken a
.22-caliber rife to the room. and this
is what caused her death. The gun
was not locked, and had either just
been opened by the girl, or was being
closed when it exploded. ...
The bullet entered her head on the
left side and passed entirely through,
coming out on the right side. Miss
Stewart was an orphan, and had made
her home with Mr.. and Mrs. Hosgood,
and with her brother. She was only
II years Of age.
Coroner Hetherington said this af-
ternoon that the jury, in bringing in a
verdict of suicide, held that she must
have had some object in view when
she took the gun to the room.
Mr.. Hetherington expressed the
opinion, however, that she took it to
her room for self-protection, as Mr..
Hosgood was not to be home that
night. A week before that, he said
the Hosgood home was entered by
some person and he believes this is
what caused her to take the gun to
her room. He said the testimony
showed there was no cause for suicide.

DAIRY INDUSTRY
Will RAISE PRICES

Medina Citizen:: Recently George
B. Zinck and John Heupel made a.
trip to the st. Paul markets with q
shipment of cattle. While away they
visited Albert Lea, Mimi, where the
state of Minnesota maintains a cream
cry plant, and where they inyesti-
gated the dairy conditions of that
section. In an interview with the
writer they stated that what they
found was a complete surprise to
them. There they found the farmers
engaged in dairying on land that was
valued at around $3.50 per acre and
making it pay big returns. Silos
were in evidence everywhere and the
barns and residences on the farms
were all substantial buildings and
showed much prosperity. OF two
different parties whom they had in
terviewed there, one had a herd Of
% Holsteins that brought him $3.50
last year and another farmer with
Is Jerseys received $1,700 for butter
fat during the same time. Mr.. Heu-
pei states hat while the land there
is priced at around $3.50 an acre it is
not really as good soil as we have
right here in this section of the county
and he thinks hat when the farmers
here go in more for dairying that the
prices here are bound to go up. Both
gentlemen have opportunities right
here which, when rightly improved,
will bring greatly increased prosperity,
but that the change and improvement
will have to be along dairying n
better farming methods.
