A Successful Farmer Nhe Has

In the current issue OF Farm

esting accoant of Myron Briggs,
who lost both legs and still OPP

farm in southern Michigan. Mr..
Briggs bought his farm eight
years ago and has now paid for
it. At the time he purchased
his farm it was badly run down.
About eleven years ago, Mr..
Briggs lost both legs in a street
car accident in Grand Rapids.
For fourteen months he was in
hospital. Both legs were ampu-
tated Just below the hip joints.
Following is an extract from the
article:
"When he finally recovered, he
had enough to partly pay for the
farm. He and his wife are both
scientific farmers and great work
ers. They hire very little help.
Mr.. Briggs works all the time
and can do any and all kinds OF
farm work, even to carrying out

Died Suddenly at M0ntevue.

William Franklin McKissick, of Thur
mont, was seized with an epileptic fit at
Myntevue on Saturday and died while in
that condition. Mr.. McKissick was out
side the building at the time and under a
window. A report was circulated that
he had fallen from window, but there
was no truth in it.
Mr.. McKissick entered Montevue on
June "a. About year ago he was par
alyzed and since then has been in rath-
er feeble condition. He was aged 56
years, month and % days. For years
he made living by hauling. He had
only one leg, the other having been am
putated some years ago, notwithstand-
ing this great handicap he could load and
unload wagon as we'll as most men.
The funeral was held Monday morning
at 10 o'clock at rhurmont. The services
were conducted in Eyler's Valley church
by Rev. w. L. Martin. lnterment was
made in the cemetery adjoining the
church.
The deceased is survived by three

improvements at State SanatOrium.
August has been set as the date for
the opening of the new building of the
Maryland tuberculosis Sanatorium at
Sabillasvlle, this county. This building
was erected at cost of about $lOO, 600
and is $40 feet long and will double the
capacity of the Institution, making it's
otal capacity about 425.
To many persons who are unfamiliar
with the work which the State has been
,ioing at this institution, located in Fred
arick county, knowledge of the facts is
surprising. There is now located on the
mountain an administration building, an
infirmary and seven pavilions, each ac-
commodating about 80 patients. The
place represents small town, and it is
indeed one, having its own postoftice,
railroad station and express Office.
In the new building will be the hospit-
al, and 100 private rooms and about 100
ward beds. There is also kitchen, ice
plant and all facilities for the treatment
of the disease for which persons enter
this institution. The building is of frame
having first been covered with tongue
and grooved siding, then heavy building
paper and the outside shingled with hard
cedar shingles. The building presents a
very attractive appearance, and is fitted
with all the comforts of a modern home.

While good sized and appreciatiye

more attention been given to advertising.
The following program was given: a

Mamie Isanogle; solo, by request, Jamie,
Dear" Mrs. Downing; readings from
Shakespeare: "The Seven Ages of Man, |"

Adopt Plans To Care For Fire Hose,
Reels, Etc.

Owing to the fact that very few citi-
zens were taking interest in Guardian
Hose Company or the fire fighting mater
ial under its care, a meeting of the citi-
zens was recently held in Town Hall to
devise plans to further the interest in
the organization.
Whether used or not used, hose need a
certain amount of attention to keep them
in good condition. This for many years
past has been falling on one or two in
dividuals. In case of fire when the hose
were used, i. mattered not what condi-
tion the hose were in, these same per-
sons had to clean and dry the hose. This
has all been done willingly and gratis,
but there is a limit to everything.
At meeting of the citizens, petition
was offered asking that the Town Coun-
Gil appoint man as Hose Director and
pay him SIS per year, and that 10 men
be appointed to assist the director and
that in case of fire and the hose used,
these men receive rs cents each, and if
the hose are not used, to receive rs cents
each; the duty of this body of men to be
to care for the hose, etc.
At meeting of the Town Council the
above proposition was considered and
unanimously agreed upon. The number
of men, we understand, was considered
too large and NAV be reduced.
The next meeting of the Hose Company
will be held next Monday evening, at
which time there will be an election of
officers, and likely the men named who
will care for the fire apparatus for the
next year. A full attendance is desired.
Every man who pays town taxes is con-
sidered member of the company and
should attend.
