Potatoes have advanced on the mar
ket from $125 to 81 so a bushel. This
advance is not merely local, but is
prevalent throughout the United
States.

potatoes are dug and put on the mar
ket, however, it will drop again, he
said
The local crop is far below the aver
age and grocers are dependant on
shipped potatoes almost entirely to
supply the demand. Because of the
lack of a local crop, changes in the
bigger markets affect prices in Rich

Christmas Recital and Festivities at
St. HiIda'S Hall.

On Monday December 20, "Cadman
Hall" was filled with friends of the
school, all deeply interested in the first
pupils recital, assisted by the Choral
Glass who gave several Old English
Ballads and other songs. The Choral
Glass is made up of ladies and gentle
men of the town, and are under the
director, Miss Elizabeth Wade, who is
the able and efficient teacher of voice
at st. Hildas's Hall They do her great
credit and added much to the enjoy
ment of the evening. On Tuesday at
8 D. m, the students gave Christmas
play entitled Father Time and Father
Christmas" written especially for the
occasion by Miss Mercer Williamson.
Father time calls forth his seasons and
hours, who come before him with ma.
lures Offering, while the spirit of
Christmas dawns amid them all and
throws her snowballs, containing for
tunes to the audience. Intespersed
throughout the play were Christmas
anthems and songs, while the Angel of
Peace rose above all. The final scene
was where st. Hilda, in her pure white
robes, came forth with her maidens
bearing the gift box and dispensing
gifts to everyone. 1t is rarely that a
happier evening winds up happier
season. Joy was in every momement
and yet the spirit of the play was rev.
erent and beautiful, showing forth a
generous. tender thought of others
with deeper meaning in it all.

Early in life Hiram Maxim showed
himself a marvellous genius as an IN
yentor. An incident of his boyhood, In
which the recoil of a rife attracted ms
attention to an apparent loss OF pow
or led him in 1872 to utilize the force
of the recoil to good account in a gun
which loads itself automatically anu
fires at the rate of no shots minute
by the power of the previously wasted
force.
The Maxim machine gun is an en-
CINE of terrible destruction. Tms gun
has only a single barrel, which, when
the shot is fired. recoils the distance OF
tllree-quarters Of an inch on the other
Darts of the gun. This recoil sets NOV
ing the machinery which automatical-
ly keeps up continuous fire at the ex-
traordinary rate of twelve rounds
second.
Each recoil of the barrel has there
fore to perform the necessary functions
of extracting and ejecting the empty
cartridge, of bringing up the next rull
one and placing it in its proper posi-
ton in the barrel, of cooking the ham
mer and pulling the trigger.
AS long as the firing continues these
functions are repeated round after
round in rapid succession. The barrel
is provided with water jacket to pre-
vent excessive NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.

Official National Anthem.

Do you know the official national an
them, which is supposed to bring the
patriot to his feet?
No doubt you think you do, even, as
has been proved again and again. when
more than two or three Americans are
gathered together. that no one knows
more than phrase or two of the
words, but do you rise for Hail Co
lumbia." MY Country. IT'S of Thee"
or the Star Spangled Banner?'
OF course / hear the army and navy
folk, familiar with regulations, say
Star Spangled Banner" but, judging
from the actions of audiences at vaude-
vile and movie shows recently, with
most it is tossup between all three,
with the odds favoring evenly "Hail
Columbia and MY Country" Which
one is it. do you really know?-Phila-
