Route four will begin east of Solgohachia, run north and west by Tucker Mountain. and back south and east to point of beginning. This route will be about 20 miles long and serve over 100 fam ilies. Number five will begin about seven miles north of town, go out by Blick, back by Arthur and back to place of starting.

Young Folks
HARVESTER WAS BOYS IDEA
Suggested to Father Plan Of Putting
Large Scissors, Instead Of slekiss,
on Reapino Machine.

In 1880 Obed Hussey OF Ohio was
inventing a reaping machine, the first
ever designed In this country. His
chief difficulty was the cutting device,
which was three large sickles. set in
frame and revolved so as to cut
into the grain. II would not work
satisfactorily. A young son. watching
the experiments. asked his father why
he did not use a lot of big scissors,
with one handle fastened to one bar
and the other handle to a sliding bar.
thus opening and closing them. Hus-
sey instantly adopted the idea. sub
stituting for scissors the two saw
toothed blades which are In common
use today on harvesters, the cutting
action being quite similar to that OF
scissors.
From the boys suggestion he per-
fected In one week machine on
which he had in vain exercised all
his ingenuity for the preceding two
years. The principle Of that cutting
device is the principle OF all OF the
great harvesting machines. and its
benefit to the farming industry OF the
entire world has been unsurpassed by
any other invention for use on the
farm.-George +. Stratton. In st.

THE TOWN MOUSE AND THE
COUNTRY MOUSE.

Once upon a time a town mouse
went to see a country mouse.
For dinner the country mouse set
out the best food that could be got
IN the country. II was nothing but
some dry corn and wheat.

said the country mouse. IL have

That evening they set out for the

night when they got TO the fine
house in which the town mouse liv-
ed.
We will go ut once TO the pantry,

the town mouse.
In the pantry on the shelf they
found bowl OF cream, a pile OF
bread and other good things.
you are right" said the country
mouse. 1T is much better TO live
here than in the country" They
had Just begun to eat when a big
cat came into the pantry. The two
mice jumped to the floor and ran
into a hole. The country mouse
was very much frightened but the
town mouse said Don't be frighten-
ed; II is nothing but the cat, and she
cannot get into this hole"
After while they went to the
kitchen. But before they could get
to the table, a big dog jumped up
from under it.
Run back to the hole" cried the
town mouse.
When they got there, the country
mouse said. You have many fine
things in town and | have very poor
food in the country; but I can at
least eat in peace there. think I
had better go back" So he left the
town mouse and ran back to the
country as fast as he could.
