to supply every man, woman

little more than half pay for our
annual whiSkey and tobacco

Are you changing it from an
inert, unused possibility into a
liquid asset? Are you turning
into real money a goodly share
OF these potential millions?
Both foreign and American

Oscaola Pa. Feb. 25.

OSc6Ola, fa., reD. 90.
The published announcement by
twenty-one railroads of Pennsylvania
and New Jersey, that the repeal OF
the Full Crew Laws now operative 10
those states would release for i'm.
provements and increased facilities
approximately $2,000,000, which now
is being paid yearly to trainmen
whose services are unnecessary, and
consequently a drain on the compan.
les resources, has won many converts
to the railroads cause in this town.
1t is estimated that this money
would build two hundred new stations
at an average cost of $4,000 each.
One is badly needed here. 1t is I'm.
derstood that the Pennsylvania Rail
road management has under consider
alton the proposition of a new station
at Osceola as one of the system i'm.
improvements to be made just as soon
as the directors feel that the expen.
diture can properly be made.
Other cities and towns where new
stations and additional freight ter
minal facilities would be justified,
citizens here who have fully consid.
cred the effects of the Full Crew Laws
point out, should join in Immediately
urging their elected representatives
at Harrisburg and Trenton to repeal
these wasteful laws as one way to
enable the railroads to provide better
facilities.
The continuation of these laws on
the statute books. it is declared, rep
resenting an annual loss of 100000
to the railroads, while primarily borne
by the companies, ultimately falls
largely upon the people. Public-spir'
tied citizens of this town are, there
fore, leaving no stone unturned to
bring about repeal Of the laws.

Luke McLuke Saws;


The fourth baby may have to wear a
lot Of secondhand stuff, but it gets
some sleep. 1t isn't awakened every
fifteen minutes by the proud mother
so she can exhibit it to callers.
Some men retire TO caves and become
hermits so they will be obscure. And
others marry suffragettes.
Before marriage he would lay down
his life for a word from her. After
marriage he won't even lay down his
newspaper to talk to her.
Judging from the way they get along
some couples seem to have married for
the sole reason that the man wanted
an excuse for not going to war In case
his country needed him.
1t is only a short step from virtue to
vice. But 1t is a million miles from
vice to virtue.
Cheer upl Even If you do have a
hard time raising the rent money every
month you can sleep soundly at night
knowing that when you die a bunch OF
high priced lawyers will not discover
that you we're insane when you made
your will.
Women are smarter than men in
some ways. But you can't teach her
not to put her car fare in her mouth
or to get off a street car the right way.
Why do they call them grass widows7
None of them is green. and few OF
them are blue.
The woman who marries a man She
can't love usually loves a man she
can't marry.
A woman's idea of an unsociable hus-
band is one who won't talk in his
sleep.
1t is the man who hasn't anything to
divide who is always yelling for IN
| equal division of wealth.
You never have any trouble getting
all the assistance you want when you
are sowing your wild oats. But when
harvest time mt you viii find that
you must reap alone.
The old fashioned woman who used
to press her husbands pants every
Sunday morning now has a married
daughter who sends her skirts to a
tailor and has creases put In them.
1t could be worse. When you have
only one suit of clothes to your name
you know that the moths are not eat
ing the other suit.
And If kisses tasted as good after
marriage as they did before marriage
a whole lot OF lawyers, judges and de
~tectives would be selling wringers foE
a living.

Cookery
Notes
Miniature Thanksgiving Dinner.

Miniature Thanksgiving Dinner.
Those who think themselves unfor-
tunate because the apartment they call
home is so small that a Thanksgiving
dinner Is an lmpossibility should not
despair.
One bride who had but two rooms
gave a successful Thanksgiving din
ner In her apartment last year. The
gas stove of two burners. with a one
burner oven. sat on a cretonne cover
ed shoe box in front of a window.
The ventilation was perfect. The bride
gave much thought to see how each
dish could be prepared with the least
amount of work and time.
She bought a baby turkey-a wee six
pound one-and stuffed 1t as mother
used to do. Mincemeat tarts were bak-
ed at the same time. potatoes and peas
were cooked in a double boiler, cram
berry jelly she made the day before
and, In fact, the turkey was stuffed
and partly roasted the day before,
for Thanksgiving afternoon this wise
young bride had planned to spend at
a football game.
When she returned she donned an
attractive cover all apron, and in three
quarters of an hour. when her guests
arrived, the table was set, the oyster
cocktails were in place and the dinner
ready to serve. Needless to say. the
bridegroom was a very proud and
beaming host.

 Mir. Moore operated gold mining properties at Pando Bay near Sitka at one time in Alaska. and still has Interests in the Territory. though this is his first northern visit In a dozen years.
 "The improvements in Juneau and other sections of Southeastern Alaska that have taken place since my last visit have been wonderful said Mr. Moore.

MAKE PONDS IN SUMMER.

Ponds should not be built in the
winter or spring. H. B. Walker, state
drainage engineer at the Kansas Ag-
ricultural college. gives several rea-
sons for his belief that 1t is not prof
table to make ponds at this time Of
the year. They should be made In
the summer or fall. he says. The
ground is naturally loose in the
spring, he points out, and embank-
ments that have not had time to set
tie will be in grave danger of being
washed out by the spring freshets.
If entertainments are made while there
is frost in the groundthere is a chance
for the water to find a way through
when the frost melts out OF, the en-
bankment in the spring.
A dam made in the summerNor fall
usually has a much better chance
than the one made in the spring or
winter. The rains that come at h a
time of year are not likely to be so
dashing as the spring rains. The soil
Is frmer, too, than IL is in the spring.

A SOUTHERN FARMERS GUINEAS

Some people object to the noise
which guineas make and their WILD
nature, but as summer egg-layers'
guinea hens are hard to beat.
We have three guinea hens n a
cock that have the range Of the fields,
and they are the best insect destroy
ers that we have on the farm. they
have a better reputation with us as
insect destroyers than the th1evlne
crow which some writers commend
50 highly for the bugs and worms
they eat. and they also pay a hand
some profit in eggs for any grain they
may cat.
The guinea hens I speak OF lay an
egg each day. and they-have peer
laying for nearly three months. Ihev
are likely to keep this up for two
months yet.
We have a brood of young guineas
that are growing nicely-they are a
cross between the pearl and the white
guinea, and are growing better nan
we ever got either ~full-blood to DO.
1 never liked the idea OF crossing
breeds, but a cross seems to increase
the vitality of the guinea.
Some have trouble finding the
guinea nests, but u guineas have
never gone far from the house to
make their nests. Sometimes they
