LET CONTRACT FOR
new N. {. CHURCH
EXERCISES AT BREAKING OF THE
GROUND SOME EARLY
CHURCH HISTORY,

Exercises connected with the
breaking of the ground for the new
ME-. church were held Monday at the
site of the church on the corner of
Pacific avenue and Fourth avenue
south. There were a goodly num-
Der present and an interesting occa-
sion enjoyed. The exercises opened
with music and prayer. The chill
dren's primary class of the Sunday
school, under the direction of Miss
Kepford and Mrs. Kavanagh, rem
dered music, and a quartette consist
ing of Mrs. Kavanagh, Miss Laura
Cootey and Messrs. Buck and Harris,
also sang, accompanied by Miss Por-
ter, organist. +
Interesting recollections of the M.
E. society in jamestown were gwen
by Thomas Pendray, who gave a
short history of the first organiza-
ton, 80 years ago. The organiza-
ton of the M. E. church, said the
speaker, was held in the ]. T. Bush
barn in this city. At that time there
were few dwelling houses in the town
but many tents. Mr.. Bush was
building both "a house and barn,
and the barn being ready first it was
used as a temporary dwelling house
until the residence should be COM
pleted. The first church services
were held in the old depot. The first
service was by Chaplain McCabe,5 af-
terwards Bishop McCabe. There
were four members present at today's
services, who were present at the Or
ganization on Oct. 12,. 1880, viz:
MrA Woodbury., Mrs. Corwin, Mrs.
Everett and Mrs. Withnell, and Mr..
Rendray, not then member. h
Rev. Anderson made few re-
marks and read roster of the pas
tors of the church, from the organi-
zation of the church to the present
time. The first minister was Rev.
w. NJ. Wright, and following him
came w. l.. Demorest, F. N. Griffith,
"A. l.. Cook, B. s Taylor, J. M. Van
Every, D. M. Parker, G. S. White,

Vleet, w. E. Loomis, s. w. Nazarine,
M. G. Miller, S. A. Danford, T. E..
Green, J. G. Morrison, and James
Anderson, present pastor.
The church history is commensu-
rate, therefore,. With that of the
town and shows a record of a third
of a century. The new church is
therefore, to be fitting monument

oldest of ,IaiIs,

One of the oldest of jails is that at
Clifton, Graham county, Ariz., which
lies in one of the copper mining CEN
tiers of the new state. This jail com
prises four large apartments hewn in
the side of hill of solid quartz rock.
The entrance is situated in boxlike
vestibule built of heavy masonry and
the gates have three sets of steel bars.
At intervals in the rocky walls holes
to serve as windows have been blast
ed and in these apertures series of
massive bars of steel has been fitted
firmly in the rock. The floor of this
rockbound Jail is of cement. The
prisoners are. confined wholly in the
larger apartments. In certain places
the wall of quartz about the Jail is no
less than fifteen feet in thickness. So
solid and heavy are the barriers to
this institution that no prisoner has
ever attempted escape.-Harper's

PREDICTIONS OF
RAINY WEATHER
Horses Neigh, Cattle Low, Pea
cocks Scream, and Ducks and
Geese Are Noisy.
(By A. V. MEERSCH.)

1t is we'll known that animals and
fowls give notice of the approach OF
rainy weather by their peculiar ac-
tions. Dogs and cats are less ener-
getic and show an unusual disposition
to sleep. Sheep crowd together in a
shelter place. Horses neigh, cattle
low, peacocks scream, guinea fowls
squall, and ducks and geese are more
noisy than usual
All this is due to the decreased sup
ply of oxygen in the air and to the
depressing effect of damp air on their
nerves. 1t gives them some difficulty,
in breathing and makes them listless
and uneasy
Another sign of rain is seen when a
cat rubs her ears and sometimes ev-
cry part of her coat that she can
reach. This is due in part to the
dampness of the air, which penetrates
the hair and makes the skin itch, but
is chiefly due. perhaps. to the air be-
ing heavily charged with electricity.
The hair of the cat becomes heavily
charged, too, and she rubs it to make
it smooth, and to brush away the
peculiar sensation electricity causes.
Perhaps you have noticed that the
leaves of the dandelion and clover
fold up and go to sleep. so to speak,
when the rain is near. AS these plants
never open their leaves without the
stimulating influence of sunshine. the
cloudy sky puts them to sleep. An
other reason for the change is the ex-
plants, due to the damp air which
causes the leaves to contract ami
close, just as paper curls when one
side of it is moistened.

CRIMES

I kBy hAIHERlNE AItER1ON
GRIMES.)
People who go to the market to buy
eggs or poultry always want the best
they can get. And the only way they
can tell is by the looks. So if you
want to get good prices for your poul-
try products, you must make them
look nice. S
portant product will be your eggs. The
boy with only few hens will hardly
be able to do any shipping on his
own account, but must depend on his
home market. There are, however,
several ways in which he can get a
little more than market prices for his
eggs. |
One way is to arrange with your
home dealer to furnish him strictly
fresh eggs, graded and guaranteed.
for his finest class of trade. Any
grocer likes to get eggs that he knows
he can recommend, and is willing to
pay a good price for the same. AS
many town customers buy their eggs
just dozen at time, it adds to the
attractiveness and STABILITY of your
goods If they are put up in neat car
tons holding just that number.
or course your eggs must be clean.
II your hens are Of several kinds, you
are likely to get eggs that are not uni
form in color. Sort them SO as to put
each color by itself. If you have
never tried this plan, you have no
idea how much nicer your eggs will
look, and anything that adds to their
appearance helps your price.
Not long ago the following little
everyday occurrence was noted in a
grocery where many eggs were being
brought in. A great bucketful had
been offered for sale, and the clerk
was busy counting them out. They
were like Joseph's coat, of many col
ors," but it is to be hoped his coat
was not like them in being stained
and dirty.
Anything with a shell on passes
for an egg with some folks grumbled
the Disguised clerk, as he gingerly
fished out two or three specimens that
were most indisputable odd" and laid
them carefully to one side. eff these
old things didn't come out of last
years hens nest I'll miss my guess"
At last he finished his counting, and
returned to the counter to settle with
their owner.
Twelve cents is the best we can
do on that grade of eggs.' he said.
Were overloaded with them now"
81 thought you were paying more
than that" protested the woman who
had brought them in.
IT had to lay out over two dozen

right now. Jim, go and phone to Mrs.
Grant and Mrs. East that we've got
those eggs they want"
And that is the difference. When
the grocer knows what he can depend
on, he is willing to pay for it. He
does not have to hunt a market for
his best eggs, any more than you do.
Another good way is to sell your
eggs directly to individual customers,
thus making the middleman's profit,
too. There are many people who are
willing to pay from five to ten cents
dozen more than the regular mar
ket price for eggs that they know will
be fresh and good. A very good plan
is to mark each carton with your
name, the date the eggs were gather
ed, and the words quality guaran-
teed." 1t does not take long to work
up fancy trade in this way, but of
course it takes little more time than
to sell direct to the grocery.

MILK CRUSADE SAVES BABES
Stations for Distributing Infant Food
Are Constantly Increasing
in Various Cities.

A constantly increasing number OF
cities of all sizes are establishing milk
stations and dispensing milk, whether
pure whole milk, certified, modified,
pasteurized or sterilized milk to
mothers of babies that must be bottle
fed. Some of the cities in which such
institutions are maintained are: AL
bany, Baltimore, Boston, Buffalo, Chi,
cago, Dayton, Detroit, Hartford, Homo,

Lawrence, Mass; Louisville, Lowell,
Milwaukee, Newark, New Bedford
New Haven, New York, Peoria, Pitts
burgh, Providence. Rochester, St
Louis, Springfield, O.; Waterbury
Wilkesbarre, Worcester, Yonkers
Utica.
The milk station is simply room
sufficiently large to accommodate the
patrons and equipped with large ice
box, a desk, some chairs and a table
An ordinary store is suitable for a
station and sometimes, as in the case
of the station at Utica, N. Y, a school
room may be used for the purpose.
The station is usually under the
charge of nurse, and physician is
in attendance at stated hours.

ESSENTIAL PART
IN TOMATO CARE
Pruning Vines Is Most Conven-
lent Way to Secure Stronger
Vine and Stalk.
lRv / I. CASEYl

The tomato is raised in this country
almost entirely for shipping purposes.
They are dedicated as a food for all
classes of people, the laboring classes
especially, who buy them of the mar
keters
| find the tomato easily grown, but
also find they must be cared for in
the proper way and manner. One of
the most essential parts in the culture
and production of the tomato is the
pruning of the tomato vines in the
most convenient way and manner. to
aid In a stronger vine or stalk, and to
give growth to larger crop of to-
matoes which, without doubt, will give
to the grower the premium much
above his work
If the pruning is not done, the plant
will grow slender. tall, and have an
ugly shape, and when the crop of to-
matoes get to very great size the
plant will bear down to the ground
and the tomatoes will rot.
Another thing is if the tomatoes set
well on the uflpruned plant they will
not get to any size, for there is too
much of the leaves and stalk to sup
port
The first pruning is to take place as
soon as the plants take start to
grow after they have been set in the
six-inch cold frame. The plants should
be about eight inches high and ouly
the top pinched off, Next, in day or
two, pinch the tops off of the second
to the bottom suckers, and so on un-
TIL the whole plant is gone over. wait
ing day or two, between each prun-
ing of the suckers. About every two
weeks the tops of the stalks should
be pinched out, thus causing the stalk
to become greater in diameter. which
aids in the supporting of the heavy
load Of tomatoes. 1t is good to prune
once after setting in the field.

1t is, however, probably conserva-

+ One of the most desirable features
of peonies is the ease with which they
can be grown. Given a generous
preparation at the start you can make
a great plantation of peonies with the
assurance that beyond keeping the
ground clean and fertile they may re-
main undisturbed for years. In the
course of time they will get SO thick
that they should be divided and re-
planted, but this is little trouble. Pc
onies thrive in almost any soil, but
do best in deep rich loan. AS they
remain lin one place number of years
it is we'll to thoroughly prepare the
soil, and they amply repay attention
given them. Spade to depth of two
or three feet; add liberal supply of
thoroughly rotted manure, pulverize
and mix thoroughly. Add little sand
or fine gravel if the soil is inclined
to be sticky or heavy. Stiff soil should
be well drained. While the peonies
desire a liberal supply of water, the
ground should not be of a swampy ma
ture. Cover the crown three inches.

On grounds of large extent the peony
is unexcelled. In the herbaceous bor-
der it thrives from year to year. 1t
is particularly appropriate along
boundaries, whether alone or with
other hardy plants. Massed at turns
of walks or drives or by the edges OF
steps it is very effective. Where low
ornamental hedges are desired it is
unusual and attractive. 1t is a fine
cut flower. If picked early just as it
is about to unfold and allowed to open
in the house it will last several days,
often week or more.
