Clipping Social Success.
The Presbyterian manse was fileo
to overflowing with a merry crowo
who responded to the invitation to the
Clipping social, given by the Social
Circle and the Young Ladies' Guild
Perhaps you don't know what "Clip-
ping" social u.s. Well, it was some
thing like this. About "a packages of
fancy work, etc, we're brought by var
ious guests and these were pinned up
on a line. You pay ten cents and are
permitted to clip one of the packages
from the line, without knowing what
1t contains, and you then become the
possessor of the precious parcel. The
opening Of the packages, many of
which were worth several times the
price paid, made much fun and the en-
tire occasion proved to be a very en-
joyable one. Refreshments were
served.

OUR PrBl.,c SCHOOLS.

Mr.. J. X. Wood entertained the
High School Wednesday morning
with u most interesting lecture and
demonstration on the process OF ex-
tracing copper from crude ore.
Mr.. Wood showed US samples Of
two kinds OF ore. The first and
richest was a blue. hard rock. called
axurite. the second was a green and
crumbiy rock called maiachite.
When this part of the country Was
covered with water. deep layers OF
limestone on top OF this hard lime
stone Vas formed on what IL now
our mountains. Later volcanic
.ruptions occurred and fumes bear
Ing copper were thrown up through
the sand and since these could not
pass through the Limestone they
were deposited In the sand and form.
ed these two kinds Of valuable ores.
A sample Of the asurits ore which
had been previously ground was
placed In . glass before 10 and MIX.
I'd with water and suiphuric acid.
The copper was thus separated from
the sand. The solution Of copper
aud sulphurtc acid was then poured
into . glass With some shingie malta.
The copper collected on the nails.
The mixture was thes slirrsd and
the copper Vas shaken off Vhe nails

TWO COUNTY
TOWNS ARE
PEOSPERING
Homer City and Marion Center
Are Working on Improve
ments to Benefit Them
THEY HAVE BEEN NEEDED


Two Indiana county towns that
heretofore had been living sort of
quiet lives, with an occasional po-
litical fight to cause little excite
ment, are having a grand awak-
ening and before long we expect
to hear a much better report from
the two communities. Reference
is made to Marion Center and Ho-
mer City.
A petition has been received
from Marion Center residents ask
ing for aid in the building of a
new road through the borough. A
strange matter in connection with
the petition is the fact that it is
the first appeal for state and coun-
ty aid for road making ever receiv-
ed from that section of the coun-
ty lying north of White township.
The proposed new road would ex.
tend from the borough line
through the business section to
Manor street, and then about 1900
feet along the Punxsutawney road.
A special election will be held in
Marion Center on the first Monday
In May to secure the consent of
the taxpayers for the bonding of
the borough in a sufficient sum of
money to take care Of the eXpens-
es. Coupled with the new road
will be the electric light and water
systems and the town will boom.
Down at Homer City active steps
are being taken for the placing of
d macadamized road over the main
street Of the town, an improve
ment that has long been needed.
The electric lighting of the town
will be accomplished within a
short time and it is said that a wa
ter system may be the next i'm
