One Time Water Boy Buys $15,'
100000 of Steel Stock.

New York. Nov. Ia. Leon
ard Replogle of New York, who
began his career ~ years ago as
a water boy in the Cambridge
mills in Johnstown, Pa, at a wage
Of less than SIS week, has pur-
chased 100000 shares Of stock in
the Cambridge Steel Company at
a cost Of approximately SIS, OOO,-
900.
Mr.. Replogle, who is now IS
years old, bid against his old SUI
perior officer, William II. Don
ner, for the block of stock and
won it after negotiations in
Philadelphia. The stock was sold
by the Pennsylvania Railroad
Company, which formerly owned
45O, $50 shares Of the 10000 is
sued-a controlling interest in
the Cambria company.
Charles NJ. Schwab, the genius
Of Bethlehem Steel, wanted the
Pennsylvania Steel properties, it

Cutting Pork o. tn arm.

Killing when the weather il too
warm causes heavy pork losses
ION Missouri farms every year.
Study the weather forecast and
plan to butcher at Ath6 sbsgi inning
of cold spell, 7 says T. i. TroW-
bridge Of the College Of Agricnl-
ture University Or Missouri.
Remove the leaf fat while the
carcass is warm ID order that the
meat may chill quicker. You can
not possibly cut the meat into
neat, shapely pieces while II is
still warm, $50 let the carcass
hang for the night where it will
cool thoroughly but not freeze,
Remove the head at the first
joint, cut the ribs very close, and
take out the back bone. The man
who has had a little experience
can do this entirely with knife
by cutting where the rib joins the
back bone. If the cutting is done
with an axe or cleaver, splinters
of bone are likely to get into the
sausage meat. In removing the
spare ribs keep the knife against
the rib bone all the time so as to
leave the surface Of the bacon in
better shape. Leave the cartilage
ends of the ribs in the bacon.
Cut the hams through the joint
square with the carcass and leave
them shapely and uniform. Re-
move all excess fat for lard, and
expose plenty of lean meat to the
action Of the brine or dry mix
ture used in curing. Skin very
fat hams after they have been
closely trimmed, leaving the skin
only around the shank. Cut off
the foot at the hook joint. Take
off the shoulder just back Of the
blade and trim it into a square,
blocky piece. If you want much
sausage make small picnic
shoulder of the lower half, and
work up the upper half for sau-
sac" and lard.
The whole side may be cured,
bur it is better to take out the
loins and use them fresh, fry
them down in lard or make sau-
sage of them. Render the back
fat into lard and trim the rest of
the side for bacon. The cheeks
or jowls may be cured as bacon
or used for sausage or lard.
If the weather is mild the loins
can be sold or used fresh, split
the carcass while warm. After
the half carcasses are we'll chilled
cut off the hams, and separate
the shoulders from the side by
cutting through between the
third and fourth ribs. In cutting|
the neck bone including three
ribs from the shoulder keep the
knife close to the bone so as to
leave a well-shaped shoulder.
With the ham and shoulder re-
moved, the side should be cut so
as to separate the loin piece from
the bacon. Saw through the ribs
two or three inches from the back
bone: finish with the knife. Trim
off the back fat from the loin
which now is ready to be used for
loin roast or for pork chops. Re-
move the spare rib from the low
err part of the side which is to be
trimmed up for bacon,

PRACTICAL ROAD WORK
0ragg Bottom Road North :
Passaic Iransformed Into Il
Excellent Road.

4AC041006 16O30A sFs
One of the finest pieces Of good
road work ever accomplished IL
Bates county was the grading Of
the quarter mile of what is known
as the g GGragg bottom. = TIVE miles
north of Passaic, the work on
which has just been completed
The piece Of bottom land which
was really slough into which
much of the surrounding country
was drained has always been one
Of the worst pieces of road in
northern Bates county, although
at different times in the past
much individual work has been
put in on it.
A short time ago the Adrian
good roads club which is an aux
Hilary to the Ozark Trails Asso-
citation took up the matter Of
cooperating with those living on
the road nearby for the purpose
of establishing permanent grade
across the bottom and $500 was
quickly raised by subscription in
Adrian and in the neighborhood.
The Butler Commercial Club con-
tributed substantially. : Work on
the grade was commenced about
three weeks ago.. The fill neces-
sary TO make the grade is about
1900 feet in length and from
eighteen inches to five feet in
height. The completed road be-
ing about "a feet in width. Dur
ing the course of construction
ten to twelve teams and twenty
to forty men have been kept busy.
On Thursday of last week
Judges R. B. Campbell. A. B.
Owen and w. H. Lowder of the
county court, county clerk Frank
Holland, Highway Engineer Joe
Flammang, s. w. Davis of the
Democrat and r. D. Allen of The
Times, were invited to visit the
work, and accepted the invita-
ton and We're Very much I'M
dressed with the manner in which
the work had been handled.
At the noon hour it was am
nounced that the ladies' Of the
neighborhood and the Adrian
Indies had prepared dinner at
the Mount Zion school house and
the guests were invited to join
those working on the road in par-
taking. The invitation. needless
to say, was accepted and never
did hungry men sit down to a
more bountiful spread of fried
and baked chicken. beef roast,
homemade bread and butter, a
bewildering array of vegetables
and more different kinds of dain-
ty salads than one would imag-
inc could be constructed, and
pickles, and SAWS Then came
the pies--pies of all kinds, and
coffee and if dinner was ever
enjoyed that one was.
After dinner Judge Campbell
expressed the appreciation of the
county court for the work done,
and announced that the court
would be glad to appropriate
$4,000 to assist in the work, pro-
vided an equal amount were sub
