Birds Are Long Lived

The question of which birds live
the longest has never been. settled
satisfactorily. But the raven comes
very high in the list, and is said to
reach the great age of 200 years.
Eagles and vultures also enjoy,
long lives. Indeed, an eagle owl
is known to have lived ninety
years in captivity. In this partic-
ular case the bird began to lay eggs
after fifty years, and during the
last forty years of it's life brought
up numerous little ones.
One hundred years is probably
a conservative estimate of a parrot s
age, and it is recorded that one of
these birds also started nesting after
thirty years of captivity With
ordinary luck, both the crow and
the swan may reasonably expect a
century of life.
1t is not by any means the larger
bird that enjoy the longest lives.
For instance the sparrow sometimes
celebrates his fortieth birthday.
Other ages reached by birds are:
Hens, 10 years; pheasants and
cartridges, Is years; larks and
nightingales, Is years, pigeons, ~
years; canaries "a years; peacocks,
80 years, and herons, 60 years.

The Secret of Success
GENUINE MERIT REQUIRED TO WIN THE
PEOPLES CONFIDENCE

Have you ever stopped to reason
why it is that so many products
that are extensively advertised, all
at once drop out of sight and are
soon forgotten? The reason is plain
the article did not fulfil the
promises of the manufacturer. This
applies more particularly to a
medicine. A medicinal preparation
that has real curative value almost
sells itself, as like and endless chain
system the remedy is recommended
by those who have been benefited,
to those who are in need of it.
A prominent druggtstsays "Take
for example DR.. Kilmer's Swamp
Root, a preparation have sold for
many years and never hesitate to
recommend ,Ifor in almost every
case it shows excellent results, as
many of my customers testify. No
other kidney remedy that know OF
has so large sale"
ACCORDING 10 s"olh ouaVothioiu'
and verified testimony of thousands
who have used the preparation, the
success of DR.. Kilmer's Swamp
Root is due to the fact than it full
fills amost every wish in overcoming
kidney, liver and bladder diseases,
corrects urinary troubles and neu-
tralizes the uric acid which causes
rheumatism.
You may receive sample bottle
of Swamp-Roo by Parcels Post.
Address DR.. Kilmer & Co., Bing-
hamton, N. Y, and enclose ten
cents; also mention the Highland
Recorder.

Willis Gibson, who vas mad'

Willis Gibson, who s'as made
chairman of the neutrality-suspicious.
in the tate-wide contest, is giving
the matter first place. when neces-
sary, in his busy life, and in every
section of the county workers have
heen found to cooperate in the
work of the campaign.
The petitions asking for the fall
election have been circulated and it
is believed that large per cent. of
the votes have joined in the call to
Gov. Steuart. AS a matter OF
course, a few have signed this call
who will probably vote against the
measure itself, but the number is
small, and Highland may be de-
pended upon to make good show
ing this fall on the side of prohibit
ton.
While the fact was not mention
ed-probably not known to many
during this initial work of the
campaign, reference to the record
kept by the Monterey town coun-
ell discloses evidence both impress
sive and conclusive in determining
the proper course for those who
seek to promote law and order. as
we'll as other good growing out OF
a dry regime.
Since September 1, 1913, there
have been IL arrests and convlc-
tons in the town and all of them
were for disorder incident to the
use of liquor. This fact came out
incidentally, and while no one has
taken the pains to compare this
with other years, there is no reason
to believe that the record for a
like period in any other year would
vary materially from this report.
The moral is plain: If we Danish
liquor from the State-thus making
it-dificult to obtain-we will have
accomplished a great work in the
direction of law and order--helping
those who get into trouble under
the influence of drink, and, Incl
dentally, promote our own interests
and happiness.

TROUBLE-MAkER

A Pittsburgh paper tells US that
zone person out of every 95 in Penn
sylvania was behind prison bars in
1911. Out Of TOT prisoners receiving
penitentiary sentence 80 per cent.
were drinkers. Out of 10,607 prison
ers sentenced to serve time in jails
and warehouses; over SO per cent.
were drinkers. Out Of 3,670 persons
sentenced to the Allegheny workhouse
in 1912, 90 per cent. were drinkers.
Father PENIS children who are de-
pendent wholly or in part for support

B, & Q, Extends Road
Purchases The II. 5.

Announcement has been made OF
the purchase by the Baltimore and
Ohio of the Hampshire Southern
Railroad. extending from Romney
tie Petersburg, West Virginia, a dis
lance of about forty miles.
Commencing July the first 1t is
the purpose of the B. & 0. to oper-
ate through trains over this south
ern branch, from Green Springs to
Petersburg.
By acquiring this road the Balti
more and Ohio secures an entrance
into the Eastern Panhandle of West
Virginia. a rich mineral and agrl-
cultural section.
The Hampshire Southern connects
with the Green Spring line OF the
B. & 0. in Romney, running South
through Hampshire Hardy, and
Grant counties, to southern terml-
nal at Petersburg, W. Va, at which
point is located the Uuited States
Leather Company.
The Harrisonburg News-Record
in commenting on the purchase OF
the Cornwalls' line by the B. u .
seems to think it may mean fur
Their extension through Brooks
Gap to Harrisonburg, connecting
with the Valley branch of the B. d
0.
Of cours this predictious.is more
natural than logical. No doubt the
News-Record would so desire, but,
with the inviting route up the
South Bri nch, down the Jackson's
River Valley toward the coal fields
of West Virginia and Kentucky,
such speculation as to a probable
extension is not very reasonable
Thus far there is no assurance OF
any extension at all, but the route
west of the Shenandoah is the more
likely one.

CARRY WIRELESS In POCKET
French Continuance. of Remarkable
Utility Brings Absolutely Correct
Time In Reach of All.

When the time signal Is flashed
from the Eiffel tower, in Paris, the Cit
izen, wherever he may live In France,
can take out his wireless receiver and
set his watch by absolutely correct
time. The value of the French "ondo-
phone" detector for receiving wireless
signals lies in its very small size and
compact makeup. The whole affair
can be carried in the vest pocket. At
20 miles from Paris all that Is needed
is an open umbrella held as high as
the arm can reach, while a small
metal contact piece attached to cord
lies upon the ground and makes the
earth connection. At 60 miles one
plants a knife in a tree, preferably a
pine tree; or a gimlet will answer as
well. One of the cords with its metal
clip is joined to this "antenna," while
the other clip Is placed on the ground.
The entire receiver weighs but IL
ounces and yet, in spite of its small
size, 1t is carefully made and Is an ap-
paratus of great precision. For long
distances, to the extreme borders OF
France, for instance, and even farther,
one clip Is joined to telephone line,
which serves as an antenna, and the
other goes to gas or water pipes for
the ground. But within 120 miles all
that is needed for the antenna Is a
kitchen stove or range, balcony, metal
bed and the like.
The operator may use his body for
the ground by attaching the metal clip
to his finger, while the other clip goes
to the telephone wire. In this way sig
malls were received from Paris at dis
lance Of 270 miles.

the lids, sick headache and dizziness.
1t brings on neuralgia and headache
that medicines fail to cure.
Nearly every condition recited
above, II brought about by defective
visitn or an abnormal state Of the
ocular muscles, can be relieved by
glasses, says writer in the Family

skilful with the appliances used for
the scientific selection Of proper

Town and Country

While the initial idea of any OF
the finer things of life may originate
in the white light of unselfshness,
yet actual progress is sure to be
along the line of enlightened self
interest. The vast majority of US
live by the hard, daily conflict with
m ,terial things; and it S natural
that before we move on to higher
plane of relationship with our TEL
low men, we need to be convinced
that the move will make life easier
instead of harder. 1t is this hard
headed self-interest which is bring
lug about a better understanding
and closer cooperation between the
town and country.
In the last few years the town
has been learning that it 'snot only
dependent upon the country tor
produce and markets, but also for
citizens, and that it increases both
the amount of production and
amount of trade for the town to
take an active, friendly interest in
the country. Something more the
town has learned: The increase in
the rural standard of living not
alone gives q bigger market for
furniture and carpets and pianos
and plumbing fixtures, but in works
for health and excellence in the
food products sent to town; and
for a more usesul citizenship, when
the farmer and his sons and daugh-
tiers move to town. On the other
hand, the farmer has learned that
all the virtues are not lmpounded
in his one hundred and sixty acres,
He has been cultivating the
acquaintance of the banker, the
dry-goods man, the town mayor,
4he man who runs the flour MILL
and he finds they are pretty good
fellows, trying to be honest and
fair. Moreover, he has discovered
that every increase in population
every new addition to the high
school, every new church built,
every street paved in the neighbor-
ing town, adds directly in dollars
and cents to the value of his acres.
He has been taking an interest IN
the moral and material growth of
the town, because it is becoming
increasingly his town.-Harper's
Weekly.
