Gar Sends War Threat to Turkey.
London.-Turkey has received an ul-
timatum from Russia demanding the
cessation Of mobilization and the I'M
mediate disarmament Of the troops al
ready prepared for the field, according
to reports here.
This decisive step on the part OF
Russia is said to result from the clos
ing of the Dardanelles to all naviga-
ton, thus cutting off the Cars egress
from the Black sea.
Turkey has been preparing her
troops for war, under the guidance OF
German army officers, ever since the
outbreak Of hostiities.
Austrians FIee Through Mountains.
Petrograd.-The Cars troops con-
tinue their furious assaults against the
fortresses around Przemsyl, and the
Austrian forces are flying through the
Carpathian mountain passes.
Reports that the Russians had COM
pleted the investment of the Galician
fortified city are confirmed officially
from the field, and the Muscovite
forces are now gathering in an effort
to crush out the last organized Aus
trian opposition.

The Russians, with a million men,

the eastern Austrian cities Of Lem

The Servians have succeeded in tax

Sea Muaaala A Fond.

The sea mlssel is closely related to
the oyster and the clam. 1t Is not,
however, to be confused with the fresh
water mussel. AS nutritious and
wholesome food it is equal to either
the oyster or the clam, and many per
sons regard it as superior in flavor.
The mussels exist in suca abundance
In such readily accessible places, and
they are so readily obtaincd by the
systerman's regular equipment, that
they can be put upon the market at
lower cost than can either oysters or
CLAIMS. They are at their best, more
over, when oysters are out Of season,
though they are in season all the year
round. As IL food they are economical
~ good not only because of their high
nutritive value and digestibility, but
because, unlike the clam. all the meat
is edible, and, because their shells are
thin and regular. a barrel of mussels
contains more edible material than a
barrel of oysters. A peck of mussels
in the shell will supply all the meat
required for meal for ten persons.

rippina the headsman.

Ancient usage in England has Pc
culiarly consecrating effect in the mat
ter Of tips and fees. Horace Walpole
records the establishment of George I.
when told that he must give guineas to
the servant Of the ranger Of his park
for bringing him brace of carp out of
his own pond. Apparently everybody
in England is ut some time or other
justified in demanding fee unless it
be the monarch. When TAFT became
archbishop of Canterbury and met the
queen he breathed sigh of relief on
ut last encountering person to whom
he had not to pay something. Accord
ing to Bishop Burnet, Il man used to
have to give II tip in order to be decapi
tated. He tells the story Of Lord Rus
sell when under sentence of death for
high treason asking what lie ought to
give the eXecutioner. Il told him 10
guineas. He said. with smile, it was
a pretty thing to give fee to have
his head cut Off"

Orioin of Postoffice Names.

The history Of the origin OF post
office names affords many amusing
facts. Not a few Of the names grow
out Of blunoers in writing or spelling.
The postoffice department presumably
hasn't the time to conduct a special
investigation in every neighborhood,
so 1t often jumps to conclusions or
draws upon the imagination. In the
Princeton Press, Of West Virginia, we
find a curious instance Of name con-
ferred upon postoffice, because Of an
error in one letter Of q petition. There
is q district in that state known as
Hill Top. When the people Of Hill
Top decided to ask for a postoff1ce a
petition was drawn up and forwarded
to Washington City. The writer was
not careful to dot the Il" in Hill. In
stead he made a sort Of loop that was
interpreted as an "e." Call a postomce
Hell Top?" That would never do. 1t
shocked the agents Of Uncle Sam. But
they thought they would comply as
closely as possible with local senti-
ment, so they named the postoftice
"Tophet." Tophet was hill on which
the refuse Of Jerusalem was dumped
and burned. The fires were almost
continuous and hence Tophet came to
signify hell, or place Of endless per-
dition. Many postofice names are du-
plicated, but West Virginia boasts Of
having the only Tophet in the land.
What difference one letter Of word
makes in history! 1t is said that
Nome, Alaska, got its name from the
fact that the "a" of the word name
was misinterpreted for an 90" At that,
it is a very impressive name.-Tacoma

The BOYS, Corn Club.

The Boys Corn club has demon
strated the possibilities for heavy corn
yields throughout the entire south,
but the large yields have been made
at too great a cost and on soil rob-
berry instead Of q soil building basis.
Therefore the department Of agricul-
ture has made some changes regard
ing the rules governing the Boys
Corn club work which will teach the
boy farmers to be soil builders instead
of soil robbers; and at the same time
make corn production on more
economic basis. The following are
some Of the more important rules:
Q) That the county demonstra-
ton agent be responsible for the corn
club work Of his county and that he
be allowed to devote one-third Of his
time IL so much be necessary, for its
success.
CD That the boy be required to
practice, SO far as practicable, the
(namely, sowing Of peas in corn at
last plowing, sowing cover crops Of
clovers, vetch and rye in falD as are
taught to grown demonstrators.
60 That each boy be limited to
uniform cost Of fertilizers per acre
including stable manure and CONNER
cial fertilizer, and this cost not to ex-
ceed $4,000 per acre.
(4) That large premiums are to be
discouraged, but that the permiums
be divided so as to offer equal incen-
tives to all boys, especially along the
following lines: Cover crop sowing,
method Of preparation and cultiva-
ton, best paper on method Of select
ing seed corn from field, selection Of
best ten ears, greatest yield, and best
net profit.
(5) That at least five boys in the
county be induced to begin In the
spring Of 1914, a two-year rotation Of
corn and oats with the winter and
summer legumes as cover crops for
soil building purposes.
CD That the boys who enter the
two-year rotation be encouraged to
plant on ordinary land Instead OF
rich land.
The above rules will apply to this
years Corn club work all over the
southern states. So far there have
about 40 or As boys Joined the club in
York county for 1914. and the time
for entrance will close April 16,
1914.
The two boys that make the best
showings in York county, according,
to the above rules and regulations.
will be entitled to months free
winter course in agriculture at Glenn
son college next winter. There will
also be other prizes Of different ma
lures. So boys, let's get busy and try
to make 1914 banner year for corn
production and let York county stand
head. Send in your names to either

AS proof of his ability to discuss the
subject of conversion, Mr.. Sunday
closed his sermon with a recital of his
own conversion, twenty EIGHT years
ago, in the city of Chicago. He told Of
his baseball experiences, and how, the
day after he was converted he made
the flying catch that won the worlds
pennant for the Chicago team. The
catch, he said, was due to a prayer he
made while running; to reach the ball,
his thoughts running something like
this:
"Oh, Lord, if you ever helped fel-
low, help me now, Help me get this
ball and-gee whiz, Lord, you haven't
much time to make up your mind,
anyway"
Bill caught the ball and the feat Is
still recorded as one of the phenome-
