ToDAY'S OLDEST STORY

St Paul, Mimi, July 26,-When
the city council was contemplating Ii
cense for dogs, a woman wrote ask
ing that cats be also placed under
the ban. The reason she assigned
was that cats in her neighborhood
we're so numerous that they ate up
all the birds who could not in turn
eat up all the worms which were eat
ing up all the leaves of the beautiful
trees. The council declined to listen
to her plea.

But isn't it becoming pretty darned
expensive to this nation to support
the Rockefeller fortune in it's war on
men, women and children?
If some governor were to put the
reverse english on the militia ball and
turn the state soldiers loose to clean
those gunner out it might help some.
One standing army is enough for
one country, and Uncle Sam might
better put the private Rockefeller
standing army out of business. Old
John D. or young John D. might lose
his temper some day and march on
Washington with his army of gun
men. You never can tell.

Meantime the males had better not

NHow dear to our hearts is the
steady subscriber
Who pays in advance at the birth
of each year.
Who lays down the money and
does it quite gladly,
And casts round the Office a
halo of cheer.
He never says: stop it; | can
not afford it,

But always says, Send it; our
people all like it
In fact, we all think it a help
and a need"
How welcome his check when il

How it makes our pulse throb;
how it makes our heart dance
We outwardly thank him; we in.

WHEAT JUMPING EVERY DAY.
Tremendous Foreign Demand. Millions
Of Bushels have Gone to Europe
Since War Started.

The demand for wheat for ex-
portation is advancing the price
rapidly. Millers, too, are said to
be anxious buyers, fearing that
the tremendous export call may
leave them short of supplies.
Mondays market showed a rise
of 3 3-4 cents over Saturday, and
2 cents more on Monday. Deal
ers in Mercersburg were paying
slips Tuesday and Wednesday,
with a probability of a higher
price to-day. Only small lots
are being delivered, notwith-
standing the ease of travel and
carrying by sleds. The waiting
inclination is strong among hold
ers of large quantities. There is
more hesitancy now among farm
ers TO part with their wheat,
than when the price was dol
lar. If farmers only knew when
it would reach the highest point!
The Rockefeller Foundation
and the Belgian relief fund
bought 1,250, bushels cash
wheat in Chicago Monday. One
Million bushels of it are to go
from Chicago, and $50, 900 BUSH
els from Portland, Me. This,
with purchases previously made,
brings the aggregate to more
than 1000, bushels since the
war in Europe started. 1t repre-
sents an expenditure of more
than $4,000, 600. 1t is the great
est relief work of its kind the
world has known.

There are Others.

McConnellsburg is not the only
town wrestling with the water
question. In Greencastle, owing
to the alarmingly low condition of
the water supply for that town,
the consumers have been restrict
ed to two hours day, from s to
8 a. m. and from 5 to 6 p. m.
The springs supplying the res
ervoirs have been failing gradu-
ally for some time past and at
present the three big springs,
with an average flow under norm
al conditions of $4,000 gallons a
day, are flowing but $4,000 gal
Ions. In the big new Is, 1000, 600
gallon reservoir the water-leve
is down to a point only about s
inches above the top of the town
intake; the old reservoir is about
two-thlrds full and this will be
held in reserve for emergency
use.
The failure of the supply fol-
lows a drouth of unprecedented
length, followed by a freeze-up
which has prevented any water
from getting into. the ground
during the past month.

For Farmer Boys.

has been said by some Of our
most trustworthy scientists dur
ing the past ten days, you are
1T" (some of you) if you intend
to spend your life on the farm.
AS to who the "some-of-you"
are, we will let you determine.
Notice that we said boys" be-
cause, most of us older fellows
are like the little girl who, when
she was studying her catechism,
boasted that she had got beyond
retention" and it is the young
er generation that is now the
hope of our scientists. Listen to
this. American Association for
the Advancement of Science met
for several days in Philadelphia
recently. On last Friday, the
subject of Agriculture was be-
fore these wise men. They said
1T is, perhaps, the greatest and
most complex of all sciences. "
Among someof the points brought
out was that For the first time
in history the tilling of the soil
was not merely dignified as the
highest form of labor, but was
hailed as the ultimate application
of human knowledge" Think of
it! When great college presidents
and professors meet and unani-
mously agree that this field of
study, namely, farming, will be
the ultimate application of hu-
man knowledge" does it not
make you proud to feel that you
are right in line to be caught up
in the great boom for agriculture
that is being thought out by
scientists, great writers and
thinkers, and by the patient men
at our experiment stations?
While this great body of emf
nent scientists was discussing
this and other scientific problems,
another big assembly of a more
local nature, was in session at
State College, Pa, during Farm
ers' week." More than 700
Pennsylvania farmers registered
at that institution last week.
Some were from Fulton county.
Among the thousands of good
things said and done in the pres
ence of these live farmers was
the recognition of the need for
the spread of the knowledge of
the many "eye openers" these
700 men had presented to them
by the College.
Nearly every paper we have
read during the past ten days has
devoted a column to the giving
of figures for the greatest amount
of farm products ever recorded
by the United States the report
for 1914. And yet, one of the
men in the Philadelphia conven-
ton said that the United States
is falling behind in methods and
results. What he means is, that
per acre, or, per farm, our aver
age showing is far behind that
of many other countries-chiefly
older European countries.
Nothing, however, can be done
to bring about any sudden re-
versal of this condition. The
gradual education of the masses
upon the subject is the hope of
the scientists. Nearly every
community has men sufficiently
advanced to realize the import
ance of the movement, but they
are such a small minority that
the much desired cooperation
will be delayed. This small ma
jority educated themselves by
reading.

PIONEER STORIES.
Interesting "reminiscences Related By
Daniel E.sFore, Esq, Of His Ez.
periences in the Far West.

l
In his endeavor to refresh his
memory of events that occurred
half a century ago, Mr.. Fore
went to the garret last week to
get a journal kept-by him during
the latter SOS and the early SOS.
But, alas, the elements had not
dealt with the book as kindly as
it has done with the owner, and
to Mr.. Fore's great sorrow, he
found the writing completely OBJ
liberated by the ravages of time.
However, our friends memory
not having been made of paper,
we may be Sble to continue our
stories of pioneer days of condi-
tons that are forever passed in
| America.
What would we think of hav-
|
ing to go 100 miles to find enough
wood to bake bread? When trav
elers were crossing the continent
during the times of our stories,
they frequently met just such
conditions. One morning at sun
rise, Mr.. Fore's party saw a
strange star in the western hori-
zon, at a distance of almost q
days journey. This was some
where west of Salt Lake City.
The star being in line with the
route of the party, they Travelled
toward it for many hours, and
the nearer they came to the
strange sight the larger it seem.
ed to be Upon arrival at the
star" they found it to be a post
painted in such manner that it re.
fiected the suns rays for many
miles. 1t had been erected by
General Kearney several yeaEs
previously while he was on his
way to take part in the war with
Mexico. On this post was print
ed the warning to travellers that
they would find no more wooc
for a distance of 10S miles west
ward. Some later traveller hac
written upon the post the advice
that wood could be found four
teen miles south. The party's
course being westward, they coulo
do nothing else than camp there
until sufficient baking and cook,
ing had been done to last several
days, or, until the woodless los
miles had been traversed by the
slow OK teams. Several mer
with oxen were sent south to fine
wood with which to make thi!
preparation. A scanty supply
was found and brought back.
While the men were seekDpl
fuel, Mr.. Fore put in the timt
baking with small supply OF
wood they had with them. Some
Indians were camped half a mile
away, and a lot of them visited
the White Mans camp and they
sampled" Mr.. Fore's cakes,
; dried apples and peaches so lib
orally that it began to appear
that all would be treated as
samples" Mr.. Fore's com.
panion suggested that Mr.. Fore
impersonate General Kearney
and make the Indians a speech.
He did so, and one of the things
he told them was, that he never
knew an Indian to live to be one
hundred years old if he ate driec
apples and peaches. Indiar

Lime Burning for Ccldk|elsll
to be Begun Ia Earnest at
EARLY Date.

Mr.. y. j. Brewer has leased
the limestone quarry in the Ma
son field at the west end of town
and will burn kiln of lime as
soon as it can be made ready.
Coal will be used as fuel, In an
interview Mr.. Brewer stated that
he would feel his way into the
wishes of the public before MAX
ing final plans for his new enter
prise. Consequently, the first
thing he will do will be to burn
an old fashioned kiln, knowing
E.hat he will have no difficulty in
selling the product. In the mean
time he will decide upon the Kind
of permanent kilns to erect-pot,
or draw kilns. In addition to
burning lime, he will establish a
grinding plant if he finds that
lime in that form is preferred by
a sufficient number of users to
justify the outlay for machinery.
We have not found an item Of
news for a long time, in which
we felt so much interest, as the
statement of Mr.. Brewer that he
intends to offer our .slateland
farmers the opportunity to buy
lime at. the nearest point at which
it can be burned for them. Since
ne intends to offer them the
choice of burnt lime, or raw, pull
verized lime. we will underke to
explain the difference between
the different forms of CONNER
cial lime, because many are not
posted on the difference.
Stone-lime is unslacked lime
just as it comes from the kiln,
and it requires nearly two tons
of stone to produce one ton of
stone lime. Ground lime is this
same stone lime ground fine for
use in drills. Hydrated lime is
this ground lime Stacked by the
application of moisture either in
the form of steam, or water.
One ton of this ground lime takes
up about half its weight in mois-
Eure; consequently, one and one
half tons of hydrated lime must
be used in order that one full to-
of pure lime be applied to la2
