Nine-inch Bass.

The Walsh bill, approved by
Governor Brumbrugh makes ille-
gal the catching of bass less than
nine inches long, and this is a
point important for all anglers to
note. Heretofore the minimum
legal size in this state has been
eight inches. The nine inch stan
dard is the same as applies in
New Jersey and in the Delaware
river. Nots more than twelve
bass can be taken legally by an
individual in one day, but very
few persons will have to worry
about that.

KILLED BY AUTOMOBILE.
Roy MellOtt Lost His Life Monday Aft
ernOOn While Riding a Bicycle
East Of Everett.

A shocking accident occurred
on the Lincoln Highway two
miles east of Everett about a
O'Clock, Monday afternoon, in
which Roy Mellott was killed in
stantly, Roy was a son Of Will
liam H. and Mary Amanda Bot
tomfeld Mellott, living ne ar
Breezewood. He was aged about
q years and was unmarried. He
was returning from Everett, and
while descending a gentle grade
near the old Morgret place, he
was met by an automobile driven
by P. M. Porter, of Easton. Pa.
The road had been freshly oiled
and Roy attempted to cross the
road in ffout of the approaching
machine, when his bicycle skid
ded, and he "; $ caught by the
automobile, hurled to the ground
and instantly killed. Upon ex-
animation it was found that his
skull had been crushed, both
arms broken, and his body terri
bly, bruised and mangled. The
occupants of the automobile were
Mortified when they found what
had happened, and set about
what they could for the repara-
ton of the terrible accident, AT
ter notifying neighbors, the mo-
torists went on to Everett and
gave themselves up to the proper
authorities.
A coroner's jury was empanel-
led on Tuesday in Everett and
after six hours deliberation, they
exonerated James Por ter, a
Easton, and John Vilsack, of
Pittsburg, of being in any way
responsible for the death of Roy
Mellott. Itwas shown that while
riding a bicycle down grade, Roy
attempted to cross the road which
had been freshly oiled and fell
directly in front of the machine.
Porter in Winton racer was tax
ing Vilsack his Lafayette college
chum, to the latter's home in
Pittsburgh.
The young man was taken to
Everett to an undertaking estab-
lishment and his body prepared
for the funeral which took place
from his home yesterday and in
terment was made in the ceme-
terry at Union.Memorial church.
Roy was an excellent young
man, and his untimely death was
shock to the community. He was
a member of the Odd Fellows,
the Eagles, and the Sons of Vet
erans, ane enjoyed the confidence
and respect of everybody.
Besides his parents he is sur
vived by six brothers; Irwin,
residing in Oregon; Lester, Ern-
est, Philip, Frank, and Lloyd
all at home, and by two sisters
Iva, wife of Jesse Barton, Crys-
tai Springs, and Edith, at home.

WILL PASS OYER RECONNAISSANCE.
COast-tO.COast Flight by Members Of
the Aero Club Of America Will
Follow Lincoln Highway.

Two country aeroplane
flights, in which probably a dozen
or more prominent aeronauts
will compete will be made from
New York to San Francisco, says
the Bedford Inquirer, some time
during this summer.
The Lincoln Highway has been
selected as the permanent trans
continental course, and Bedford
will be the scene of the first
night stop after the araoplanes
leave New York.
Lee Hoffman. local consul for
the Lincoln Highway Association
has been appointed by the Aero
Club to select the landing place
for the birdmen in the vicinity of
Bedford. Several sites have been
considered, and it is probable
that the machines will come to
earth on a big field about a mile
from town, which is the place
most favorably thought of by
Mr.. Hoffman.
Prizes aggregating $4,000
have already been offered and
tentative offers indicate that be-
fore the flights are completely ar
ranged the prizes will total $50,
600. That these prizes will in
duce the most prominent aviators
Of the country to participate in
the contest is certain, already
thirty-two applications have been
filed and seventy-five are expect
ed before the competition starts.
The prizes are offered in sections
for the best daily flights. Ten
hours will constitute a days
flight.
According to Rear Admiral
Robert E. Peary, Chairman Of
the Committee on Aeronautical
Maps and Landing Places Of the
Aero Club of America, the Lin
coin Highway was picked for the
transcontinental flights because
of its direction it being the short
est land route, and because of the
coz pc alton which the organiza-
ton Of Lincoln Highway Consuls
scattered in every city and town
along the 3,400 mile course,
could offer the aviators. Land
ing places will be selected along
the trail, and it is expected that
later signs and indicators which
can be read by the air men while
making the flight will be erect
ed along the course Of the high
way.
The Aero Club of America
state the purpose of the competi-
tion to be the demonstration to
the United States government
that aeroplanes are the practical
means of carrying the mails to
isolated points and to assist the
War and Navy Department in
the development of an aviation
corps for the National Guard and
Naval Militia.
If present plans do not miscar-
ry, they will pass over the top Of
Cove mountain but a few feet
above the tree-tops toward even
ing, swing high over the Cove
and McConnellsburg so as to clear
Scrub Ridge, and make a bee
line for the top of Sideling Hill
where the Lincoln Way crosses;
thence over the top of Rays Hill
on Lincoln Way; thence in a bee
line for the Gap at Mt. Dallas;
thence through the Narrows to
Bedford.

CLEANED BY THE wAYSIDE.
Some Observations Recorded by Oar
Correspondent in a Stroll
Through the Country.

Our correspondent, spending a
few days in the northern part of
the county, begs to submit the
following observations:
l. That hundreds of sycamore
trees, an occasional cherry tree,
many small oaks in low places,
and nearly all pear trees, are
covered with dead, curled-up
leaves caused by a cold high wind
that passed over the county about
the last of May.
2. That, wherever black slate
has been used to resurface the
roads, the going" is fine; also,
that the Lincoln Highway from
McConnellsburg to Bedford coun-
ty line is smooth as a floor, ex-
cept shot stretches, where wa
ter weareth away stones. This
is a reminder that the only road
that never needs repair by human
hands is the Great Highway to
Perdition, paved, it is said, with
good intentions. This might
suggest something to the State
Highway Department.
8. That the enormous Catalpa
tree in l. W. Schooley's door
yard five miles west of McCon-
nellsburg, is in bloom, and it is a
sight worth looking at. 1t re-
sembles a pile of snow forty feet
in height and may be seen for
miles.
A. That M. H. Hollinshead,
Harrisonyille's enterprising gen.
eral merchant is installing a 500
gallon gasoline tank for the ac-
commodation of the travelling
automobile public.
5. That this seems to be an
oats year. Farmers say they
never knew oats to show up bet
ter-something out of the ordi-
nary in this section of the coun-
ty.
6. That some automobile driv-
ers travel more deliberately than
others.
7. That farmers along Lincoln
Highway will raise fewer chick
ems, because auto speeders run
over them faster than the owner
can finish them with the axe and
eat them.
8. That between Greenhlll and
Saluvia are two of the finest con-
crete bridges in the County.
8. That ten additional teams
were added this week to the re-
pair force working on the Lin
coin Highway on the east side of
Sideling Hill.
10 That R. R. Ham is building
a neat dwelling house for his son
one-fourth mile north of Green
hill House on the old Enoch De-
shong farm, recently purchased
by Mr., Ham.
II. That the Children's Day
services last Sunday both at the
Greenhill Presbyterian church
and at the Sloan M. E., were
highly entertaining and very
creditable to those who had the
matter in charge.
IL. That Roy M. Sipes is work
ing wonders on the old place that
lay fallow for twenty odd years
in Licking Creek township. New
buildings and scores of wagon
loads of roots grubbed out, has
completely changed the appear
ance of the famous old rabbit
hunting grounds. He has fine
crops of wheat, oats, and rye.
13. That reliable farm labor is
scarce along the Lincoln High
way, for the reason that a man
with a team of horses can earn
from $75 to 800 a month.

A well selected butchering outfit and

consists of two butcher knives, two

saw is for saving down the backbone

carcass form it is advisable to loosen
the leaf fat from the abdominal wall,
allowing 1t to remain attached to the
carcass at the ham end. Open the jaw
and insert small block to allow free
drainage; then wash out all blood with
cold water and sponge out with a
coarse cloth. In hot weather the back
bone should be split to facilitate cool
ing. 1t is good practice to do this also
where the hog is to be cut up on the
farm and not intended for shipment.
The fat should be removed from the
intestines before they get cold Since

Pull the ears through the hands to re-
move the bulk of the hair. Grasp with
the hands the lower portions Of the
legs and twist to assist In cleaning
them. Use the "candlestick' scraper
for removing the skin and scurf from
the fiat surfaces and as much as pos
sible from the other parts and finish
the cleaning Of the entire carcass, re-
moving all hair. scurf and dirt by rims
ing with hot water and shaving with
the large knife.
Cut the skin on the side of the ten
dons below the hook to expose the ten
dons so that q gambrel stick may be
inserted. The next step is to hang the
hog by his hind legs by means Of the
gambrel stick high enough so that his
head clears the ground. Wash down
with hot water, shave over any unf1n-
ished patches and wash the entire car
cass again to remove all loose hair and
scurf.
Occasionally hog is killed that is
too large to scald in a barrel. If it Is
covered thickly with blankets or with
sacks containing a little bran and hot
water poured over 1t the hair will be
loosened readily. In some localities
hogs are skinned, but scalding is far
more satisfactory.
Directions For Removing Entrails.
In removing the entrails first split
the hog between the hind legs, sepa-
rating the bones with the knife. This
can easily be done IL the cut is made
directly through the union of bones be-
tween the hams. Run the knife down
the center of the belly, shielding the
point with the fingers of the left hand
and guiding 1t with the right. There is
little danger Of cutting the intestines
in this way. Split the breastbone with
the knife or an ak and cut down
through the sticking place to the chin
Cut around the rectum and pull 1t down
until the kidneys are reached, using the
knife wherever necessary to sever the
cords attaching it to the bed" Re

Breed Ewes late.

Considering that prices for market
lambs are good now at all seasons of
the year, it is really better under or
binary farming conditions to breed
ewes rather late In the fall so that
the lambs will arrive during the mild
weeks of spring. when the ewes are
out in the open and on green pasture.
Less grain feed will be required for
the ewes to furnish full flow of milk
hence the cost of growing the lambs
to market size will be less.
