India Ink.

In both India and China there are
thousands of people who manufacture
india ink as a side line to their reg
ular business, working at it in the
winter at night and on days when
they r not otherwise employed. 1t
is made by burning some kind Of oil
in a lamp with a very long chimney,
usually made in joints which can be
taken apart for greater convenience
in cleaning out the SCOT which makes
the ink. Almost any kind of vege-
table oil will answer, and in districts
where petroleum is found even coal
oil is used in making the cheaper
grades. The best kind is made from
sesame oil.-Argonaut.

Combination of Property Owners.

SPS' SNhiCt o.
A general maintenance tax of two
mills per square foot, which amounts
to "a per year on a lot 20 by 100 feet,
besides the regular city tax, must be
paid by lot owners in a section of
Philadelphia. This special assessment
is for the upkeep Of the property, and
is applied towards the cost of gar
bage collection, snow cleaning, light
ing, maintaining the park and sew
erage system, replanting trees and
shrubbery, cleaning vacant lots. and
repairing streets and sidewalks. The
fund Is administered by a company
and assures the lot owner that all
repairs in streets and sidewalks will
be promptly made when needed, and
will not be subject to the ldiosyn-
crasies of private ownership or the
slow methods Of municipal depart
ments.

Paint Your Residence.

If your residence needs painting or
repairing 10Y is the time to have the
work done. In the first place you will
get the labor much cheaper and in the
next place you will aid those who need
work If it is true that we are border
ing on prosperous times it will not be
many months until labor will cost
much more than now. so there is a
double saving-the house will be saved
injury and the owner dollars. 1t will
pay you to look into this matter.--Abi.

One of the badges was received in

they began to drift apart.
Where there are sheep the wolf
comes. 1t was nj exception here. Jim
Collins was six feet one, flashy and
taking" with women. He had a sin
lister reputation among the folks of
h district. But he was the man for
whom Larry was working. He had
not often paid a visit to the range,
~preferring to gamble away his money
at Butte, where he had a string of
racers and two or three automobiles.
He had the patronage of the county,
too. Many ONE had given their
love to Collins. They had lived to
regret it-but Dorothy only saw in
him a big, g%ood-natured man, longing
Tor sympathy and to be understood.
Once Larry, returning from the
range sooner than had been expected,
found Collins in the hut, bending over
Dorothy as she made tea. He looked
up brazenly and laughed. Larry said
nothing then. Later he taxed his wife
with caring for Collins. That was a
mistake. A man should hold his peace
until the time comes to strike. But
all Larry's wounded soul, all the suf-
fering he had endured during those
days of estrangement came to his lips
in a flood of bitterness.

he was gone Dorothy slipped out of

his heart overlooking with contrition,
he found the hut empty. A little note
was pinned to the dresser.
II don't love Jim Collins" II read,
but he can give mi something bet
ter than sheep. We leave Butte for
California on the night train and you
will never see me again. But You won't
want to, as long as you have your
sheep"
Larry stood staring at the note for
a long time. and into his mind came
the picture Of Dorothy as he had seen
her In Wales. the innocent girl in the
big s%unbonnet whom he had loved.
What had he done? How had this
thing come between them?
He saddled his horse and rode five
miles to his nearest neighbor.
Keep charge of my sheep a day or
two" he said. I'm going to Butte"
Something wrong with the wife?"
asked the neighbor sympathetically.
Yes" answered Larry, riding away.
However, he had no intention OF GO

Another interesting point, showing
clearly the tendency to reversion to
remote ancestors. is found in the fact
that while the two-ear seed were of
IL rows about rs per cent of the yield
was of one eight-rowed cobs. Although
this variety of flint corn will show
frequent ears of IL and IA rows, 1t
may be considered properly an eight
rowed type of corn. Thus we see that
after throwing the sport of a two
cared stalk, there is not sufficient
stamina in all the seeds to reproduce
like the parent. The corn reverted not
only to the o~ne-eared but to the eight
rowed type.
This is one of the mysteries that
will have to be solved, no doubt, be.

GARRETT COUNTY FAIR NOTES.
Excursion Rates and Special Trains
on the Railroad.

Oh tAC RdAAAOous
Last week C. W. Allen of the B. &
o. passenger department was in Oak
land consulting with the Fair Associ-
alton about special rates and special
trains for the fair week, September %,
30 and October l, Mr. Allen was very
enthusiastic over the outlook for the
fair this fall. He regretted the dis
appointment experienced by those who
failed to reach Oakland because of the
limited train service last year. This
year special trains will be run to Oak
land. The Railroad Company will circu-
late posters calling attention to the
fair. The company will be ready to
bring the public to the fair this season.
Postmaster Defhnbaugh Is planning
for Government exhibit of the work
ings of the Parcel Post system. They
will occupy space in the main building
and will, if everything works out right,
have a most interesting department of
the fair. Mr.. Deffnbaugh is carrying
out the suggestion of the Post Office
| department and writing to manufac-
turers of packages especially -adapted
to parcel post system.
The wholesale firm of Pugh & Beav er,
of Terra Alta, will again conduct booth
at the fair and it will be an attractive
one. They are already making plans
for the occasion.
The Premium List is in the hands Of
the printers and will soon be in circu-
lation.
Do not forget the fair Of 1915 is going
to be one of the greatest exhibits of the
resources of Garrett county eyer under
taken by the people of the county.
The number Of exhibits as well as the
variety of exhibits will be magnificent
surprise.
The exhibits will come from all over
the county. The indications are that
every election district will be repre-
| scented at the fair
1t will be emphatically a Garrett
county fair, not of few districts, but
Of the county. The management is busy
at work planning for three days of
pleasure, profit and happiness.
During the fair Oakland will be filled
with people from everywhere. Never
before has Oakland been prepared to
take care of a great crowd as now.
Everything will be done to make our
guests comfortable and we will give
| them a royal welcome.
The town will be dressed up in bright
colOrs and present an attractive APP
pearance. Oakland is going to do its
best to make everyone visiting the fair
have a good time.
Tell your neighbors all about the fair.
Invite them to meet you at the fair.
Tell them about the wonderful airship-
not balloon. but a flying machine
with its daring operator, a man who is
an expert in flying through the skies.
You will want to see him, your child
rem will want to see him. This is your
opportunity.
If we can carry out our plans there
will be three bands here during the
fair. We are trying to accomplish this
end.
Boost Garrett county by helping to
make the fair one immense success.
