To prevent your window plants from
blooming only on the street side, turn
them occasionally and you will have
the blooms in the room as well. Do
not give foliage plants as much light
as for towering plants; keep the ferns
in shady corner; north window is
good place.
Use as dry material only well rotted
manure. To prepare liquid manure to
be applied only after the ordinary wa
tering has been done, take an ordinary
barrel containing one-half busheI of
fresh COW dung and if extra strength
be required add a couple Of quarts Of
fresh hen manure and cover with wa
ter.
After it has been fermented thor
oughly the coarse material viii all set
tie to the bottom and you may fill the
barrel with water and the solution is
ready to be applied to your plants.
An application every two weeks is
generally all that is required for most
plants.
For this process sand is generally
used, or very light soil, as most favor
able for the formation of new roots.
The geranium is perhaps the easiest
to begin with and good healthy top
should be selected where wood has
formed. Take a sharp knife and cut
below the joint.
Foliage plants are very easily prop
agated, and every woman can do her
own work Of this nature with great
satisfaction.

The legislative assembly may by

The Board of Appraisers should be

DoG-OWNERsHIP LAW

THERE is good sense and good
i law in Deputy Attorney GEN
erai Davis construction of the
recently adopted act forbidding for
eign residents to own dogs.
AS Mr.. Davis says, the law was
designed to protect game in Penn
sylvania from the ravages of dogs
owned by careless or unscrupulous
foreigners, Of which reports of the
game wardens indicate there are
many. But it was never intended
that a foreigner should not own a
pet dog, or having one that it should
be within the powers of an officer
of the law to go into his home and
deprive him of the animal and fine
him for possessing it. But the letter
OF the law distinctly provides for
just such harsh and unfair methods.
Sensibly administered, the act is
capable of working much good; en-
forced by fec-hunting constables. II
will have just the opposite effect.
We must treat the newcomer as
kindly as he will permit. We must
teach him respect for our laws. not
hatred of them. Mr.. Davis has shown
admirable judgment and keen dis
elimination in his Interpretation of
the act and the State will profit much
thereby.

BUILDING AND LOAN REPORT

TN his recent annual report State
Banking Commissioner Smith tells
us that building and loan associa-
tions of Pennsylvania helped to buy
or build 21,379 homes during 1914 and
according to the official reports of the
1866 associations active last year these
organizations gained per cent. in re-
sources over the previous year. An
army of 541,4O0 shareholders is re-
ported to have 4,S66,s2s shares, of
which almost 100000 shares are free
-of loans
There is food for reflection in these
ifgures for those pessimists who have
been telling us that we are a shift
less, thriftless people, living from pay
'envelope to pay envelope and saving
when we do save only for Christmas, a
vacation or an automobile.
The figures show heavy increases of
savings in the building and loan as
Ssociations alone. The increased cost
tof living has created an increased need
for saving to meet the actual expenses
of everyday life-the bills of the
butcher, baker and the candlestick
maker-and because the buying power
-. of the dollar has decreased to such an
extent that one must save more than
formerly in order to accomplish as
much in the way of accommodating a
competence.
1t is true that in the past decade
and a half the cost of practically
everything the average family uses
has gone up at least one-half. OF
course. wages and salaries have like
wise increased to some extent, but not
In proportion to the higher cost of
living.
So if one saved 5000 annually ten
years ago, he ought to save $500 a
year now to be doing as well. In
short, there ought to be an effort on
the part of everyone to readjust his
living expenses in view of the new
conditions, so that he saves an amount
not Just nominally the same as that he
used to save in a year when his dol
lar would buy more. but also relative
~ the same, and the building and loan
report indicates a step in that direc-
ton.

RAILROAD FOR FULTON

II ESLIE w. SEYLAR, writing to
- the Public Ledger from McCon-
nelsburg, heralds the news that
Fulton county is to yield its palm as
the only "raiiroadless" county in
Pennsylvania.
In February of this year a charter
was granted by the State Public Ser
vice Commission to the McConneIls-
burg and Fort Louden Railway Com
pany for the operation of an electric
road across the Cove mountain, be-
tween the two points named. The
contract for erection was let and work
on the grading OF the roadbed is be-
ing pushed as fast as possible A
steam shovel. with capacity of 600
cubic yards a day, is at work on the
Fort Louden side of the Tuscarora
mountain. where already over two
miles of the grade is completed.
This road when completed will open
up a county to development that has
hardly realized it's possibilities here
tofore. Vast deposits of iron orc
await transportation; millions of tons
of high-grade Canister rock and ce-
ment, or concrete sand. have hardly
been touched; thousands of acres OF
the finest fruit lands will be thrown
open to use where fruit-raising was
profitiess previously and the land left
TO grow up in underbush because the
young men left the farms to seek
wider opportunities in the outside
world. Millions of feet of lumber can
be shipped that would have remained
in the woods, not to speak of the in
crease OF all farm products.
Thus passeth the last of the back
woods counties of Pennsylvania Just
as building follows the trail of the
trolley suburbanward from the city, so
settlement and development follow

THE CLUBS FAULT
By Wing Dinger

have q golf club. brother,
In my bag. that is my jinx,
Every time I've tried TO use 1t
In the game upon the links
1t has thrown me down completely
And brought ruin to my score
Till thought 1 would discard 1t
And ne'er use 1t any more.
Notwithstanding that some player,
Every time use the club
Tells me that it's not the clubs fault
That with it each shot / dub,
am satisfied they're all wrong,
And the fault is not with me.
So I've had the blamed thing fixed up
As 1 think 1t ought to be.
When 1 took 1t home, last evening.
I thought I would try 1t out.
And went out into the backyard
Just to knock the ball about.
And despite my noblest efforts
/ missed strokes one. two and three.
But still contend the fault lies
With the club and not with me
