Famous Old Turnpike.

Among the many turnpikes project
ed in connection with Pittsburgh 100
and more years ago, one crowding on
another, was that Of one between
Pittburgh and Groensburg. The initia-
ton of this was at meeting held De-
cember 4, 1918, at the house of John
McMaster, to consider the question of
applying to the legislature for char
ter to incorporate company to build
this road. John Wilkins was made
chairman of the meeting and Ephraim
Pentland secretary. A committee con-
sisting of Dunning McNair, William
Steele, John Irwin, William McCand-
! less and Ephraim Pentland was ap-
pointed to confer with a similar COM
mittee from Westmoreland county.
This was accomplished a few days
later and steps taken to secure action
by the legislature, and the result was
the formation of company and the
beginning of operations. At the same
time another commission decided to
ask for proposals in January, 1874, for
the construction of the "Two-Mile Run
Turnpike" the road designed to be
go feet wide. pavement % feet wide
and two feet deep, the latter six inches
to be river gravel. and on each side
was to be sufficient space for a sum-
mer road"

Pigeon Flying In Belgium.

Pigeon flying is forbidden in this
country just now, but 1t is doubtful
If even the horrors of war will keep
the Belgians from what is their near
est approach to national sport. 1t
has been said of the Belgian workman
that he divides his wages into three
parts, one for his family, one for him
self and one for his carrier pigeons.
The extent to which the sport is prac.
ticed may be gathered from the fact
that the railways reap 100000 francs
a year from the carriage of the bas-
kets in which pigeons are conveyed to
and from the race meetings. Large
prizes are offered by various clubs
and at great race few years since
100000 birds competed.

CHRISTMAS TREE FOR BIRDS
Object of Delight to Little Folks Deco
rated With Gifts Of Food for
Members of Feathered Tribe.

Five members of I second reader
glass In . South Dakota rural school
celebrated 20 first Christmas of the
Liberty Bell Bird club of the Farm
Journal, Philadelphia, by having real
Christmas tree for the birds near their
schoolhouse.
The cedar tree which had been the
center of their own jolly Christmas
festival was taken out Of the school
house by an older pupil while the little
folks made Christmas baskets to hang
on the tree. After this. whenever
they ate their dinners, the children
carefully placed all the crumbs left
In small baskets, which were then
hung on the birds Christmas tree,
where the feathered guests eagerly
gathered to enjoy their feast.
This year the Christmas problem of
how to remain q sincere and cheerful
giver at this season of greatest de-
mands is to be solved by many mem
bers of the Farm Journal Liberty Bell
Bird club In way to eliminate much
useless and unappreciated giving.
The Christmas tree which has de.
lighted the little folks in the home or
schoolhouse will not, as heretofore, be
thrown on the trash heap after it has
been stripped of its glittering baubles.
After it has been carefully set up out
of doors in a safe and sheltered spot
the little hands which reached out SO
eagerly for it's gifts will now place
others upon it-garlands of bright Der.
ries. sheaves of golden grain, baskets
of suet and bread crumbs-for the little
feathered folks A vessel of water,
free of ice, will be placed near by for
the bright-eyed visitors to drink or
battle in.
Where there Is suitable tree stand
ing near the home or school it can
easily be converted into Christmas
tree for the birds by fastening gifts
of food to its branches.
Christmas must ever remain the day
for the child, but instead of making
the little one selfish with surfeit of
costly toys, how much better to train
1t to look upon this holiday as the spe.
cial season to give succor and protec.
ton to the helpless. At this time
every child old enough to understand
its teachings should be enrolled as a
member Of the Liberty Bell Bird club
by signing the following pledge:
II desire to become a member of the
Liberty Bell Bird Club of the Farm
Journal, and l promise to study and
protect all song and insectivorous
birds and do what can for the c.ub."
There Is no cost to any child in join,
