Frances avoided me: so ! came to a

driver.

He stared-seemed 10 be trying TO

aggrieved tone, don't you remember

Ills hand slowly swept his chin and
he whistled.
VIVA Well. I'll be fingered" He
wbirled toward the car.
"On me, THE time. | guess, You're
right"
Then his face clouded and he moved
down upon me.
Here. you get along nov about
your business, whoever you are" His
hand waved rs though sweeping me
away. i've a mind to kick you for
annoying that young lady"
He looked toward Frances and 1
could see he was showing of. But l
thought she looked a bit disguised.
AS for the trump. she suddenly opened
the door, stepped down and then up
again, but this time behind the steer
ing wheel.

And he looked at Frances again and
laughed. but she was looking away
on up at the big stone castle on the
Pocantico Hills behind.
The car began to edge away.

he launched his blow. But SO

Raymond Swingle was MORALLY
wounded and1s dying.
kCowed by. the police, the mob
dispersed, only to collect an hour
later. Leaders cried for revenge,
and called upon their followers
to arm themselves. An attack
was made on a hardware store
short distance from the police
station. Windows were smashed,
the leaders trying to secure revolt
vers and rifles.
Peter HaYrnan, the Waterman,
with drawn revolver held the
vandals at bay until the police
arrived. A Gordon of men was
placed on guard around the store,
and again the mob was dispersed.
Smaller groups formed and COM

Sheriff Bruner was then appealed
to, and he and his ten deputies
joined the police. When the sit

local authorities at midnight,
Bruner telephoned Cow Deneen,
and the local company of the ma

with the state troops from Mo-

farm wheats for bread making pur-
poses. Thus far in the milling and
baking tests conducted at the Idaho
Experiment station we have not
found the decided differences in
bread making value which Is COM
monty believed to exist. AS the
bread making value of wheat is
or at least should be an important
factor in fixing its market value,
it is highly important that any ma
terial difference in quality which
can be properly charged to irriga-
ton or dry farming practices should
be thoroughly investigated. Mr..
Fishburn, of the department of CHI
emistry, is now in south Idaho for
the purpose of securing thoroughly
representative samples of the lead
ing varieties which were grown I'M
der both irrigated and dry farm
conditions during the season of
1912. While he will visit in per-
son each of the wheat growing dis
tricts and will endeavor to secure
the samples direct from men who
grew them, he of course will not
come into contact with all who are
interested in the outcome of the in
vestigation and who are in a posi-
ton to furnish us with the neces-
sary samples for milling purposes.
Ii you have grown during the sea-
son of 1912 any one of thefollow-
ing named varieties, either by ir-
rlgation or dry farm methods, you
will assist materially in this work
If you will communicate that fact
to the department of chemistry of
The Idaho Experiment station at
MOSCOW. Directions for labelling
and shipping the samples will be
sent you. The varieties most de-
sired for these tests are: Blue
stem, Defiance, Dicklow, Gold Coin,
Fife, Odessa, Sonora and
Turkey Red. Any other varieties,
however, which is known positively
to be grown in this state under both
systems of farming will be fully ac-
ceptable.
From the results of a large num-
Der of milling and baking tests we
expect to arrive at definite con-
regarding the relative val
ues of irrigated and dry farm wheat
"hen used for bread making pur-
poses. The result of the tests will
to be of great value to the
wheat growers and millers of the
state and they will be given the
greatest possible publicity. S.

Deep Well May Be Abandoned.

The celebrated deep well at Mayburg.
Forest county, which has been drilled to
a depth of s, $50 feet, is only about forty
feet less in depth than Louis Kraeer's
deep hole in Sheffield township, Warren
county, and both can be said to be the
deepest wells ever dri led in Pennsyl-
ysnia. After the above depth had been
reached, the tools were lost and diligent
effort was made about two months ago TO
recover them. On second attempt the
fishing tools we're also lost about month
ago, and nothing more has been done,
thus leaving two sets of tools at the bot
tom of this deep we'll.
Rev. VIM. Richards who has superin-
tended the drilling of the well for II. D..
Collins, gave us very complete record
and account of the operations from the
beginning which was published in the
REPUBLICAN some months ago. The
owner was very anxious to complete the
well to the Medina sand, which should be
found at depth of $3.50 feet, but it is
now extremely doubtful that it will ever
be drilled any deeper. This state of af-
fairs is to be regretted, as under the pres
ent conditions it cannot be- decided whe-
ther there is oil or gas In the Medina sand
in this vicinity. The expense of drilling
this well has been very heavy, but Mr..
Collins was willing to stand the expense
as long rs the drill could be kept bounc-
ing.

such good local lesson from the washing

suggestion that the political parties should
add another plank to their State platform
pledging strenuous opposition TO any
scheme by which great corporate interests
may steal the rights of the people away
and drive them from their homes by the
building OF gigantic death-trap dams
over their heads.
Ycu are right too, when you sound the
alarm that scheme is on foot to do that
very thing, or at least some of us so in

The use of the argument that they will
make use of valuable water power which
they now say is going to waste, and by
the saving of coal and the prevention of
floods, to do a great service for the people
of this state. However, it appears since
their officers are to be high -salaried men,
that it is nothing more than d plan to Lave

Wolfe-Allio Reunion.

A reunion of the immediate relatives
and children of Mr.. and Mrs. Andrew
Wolfe was held at their home at Wolfe's
Corners on Wednesday last, 1t was the
first time the different members of the
two families had ever met in body and
the forenoon was spent in greetings and
recalling old times. One hundred and
thirty-four were in attendance, many
coming from other states. A sumptuous
dinner was served in the apple grove.
Scripture reading and prayer we're offered
by Rev. j. G. Wygant, OF the Licking
vile Evangelical church. Every body
was happy and 1t was a day of fun and
good cheer. A feature of the afternoon
was wrestling match between Andrew
Wolfe and his brother, John Wolfe. Rev.
B. f. Felt, an old friend of the two
families, delivered an address and spoke
interestingly and inteligently of the sd-
vantages and opportunities of farm life.
The climax Of his speech was when he
urged the cultivation of social activities
among the farmers and their families.
The Fryburg band, consisting of twenty
pieces, furnished excellent music for the
occasion. Everybody present enjoyed
the day to the fullest extent, and big
hearted candy" and his estimable wife
enjoyed 1t best of all
