total output of the creamery for

than $4,000 pounds of butter
and when the record jumped to
$4,000 pounds there was great
rejoicing. A year ago the cream

Last Saturday saw the end of
the paving work in this city for
this season, Contractor Thomas

work which has been done and
figuring up the yardage. The

work before the final money has
been turned over.
The contractor is under bonds
to keep the paving up for a
period of five years but it is eX-

Bayfield, Now Scene of
Great Activity
Tons of Fish Being Received
at Bayfield, Harbor Daily.
Many Employed

The herring fishing is on at
Bayfield, and those who have not
seen how this industry is
handled should make a trip to
Bayfield, during the next few
weeks and watch the fish han
died, for it is an interesting
sight to anyone who has not
visited the Harbor City during
the fishing season.
Hundreds of tons of fish are
now being received and the
business will continue at it's
present heighth until the freez-
ing weather comes. Many men
are given employment at Bay
field in the handling of the fish.
The fishing grounds are locat-
ed out among the Apostle islands
and it is here that the nets are
set which gather in the little
fish. Each morning the boats
leave Bayfield, for the fishing
grounds and the fish are taken
out of the nets and dumped in
to the boats.
When the boats arrive at the
docks in the evening the fish are
shoveled out into boxes and
these are taken inUJ the houses
of the various fish companies
where they are dressed for ship
ment.
The dressing of the fish is on
interesting sight. Those VINO
engage in this business become
experts and some make from
$500 to $500 per day. Just
three cuts of the knife are nec-
cessary in the cleaning of fish
and they are then salted and
packed in barrels where they
are shipped to the markets all
over the United States.
Several hundred men are
given employment at Bayfield,
during the fishing season and
naturally the business makes
things lively at the Harbor City,

Coal Board Hears of
Vast UndeveIoped Fields

Pottsville, Pa. Dec. 23. - The State

nor Brumbaugh to investigate conditions
under which this product is being
mined, completed it's work, the upper
part of the anthracite region HAVING
been previously investigated w. j,

ing to market demands, were not sue

titled they were either operating to full
capacity or have been granted all the
extensions of leases desired
Counsel for the commission, however
pointed out that the evidence showed
that n vast acreage of coal lands in this
county belonging to companies gener-
ally included in what is known as the
Anthracite Trust" are undeveloped. The
evidence showed that on the 10000

heaping the coal slightly in the cen
ter. The fuel space should be filled
twice a day in winter weather. The
last time should be as late at night
as is convenient. There is loss in
both economy and comfort if smaller
quantities of anthracite are added to
the fire several times a day with at
tendant shakings.
The crate should be shaken only
until bright light shows underneath,
and this should be done only twice a
day. Additional shakings permit un-
consumed coal to pass through the
crate bars. When the furnace is fill
ed at night the fire should be checked
or damped down and be ready to give
a quick heat in the morning. Steam
or hot water boilers should have the
fire space filled with coal at least to
a point level with the bottom of the
feed door opening, and one feeding
should be sufficient for twelve hours,
if the drafts are properly adjusted.
Once in the morning and once in the
evening are the only times when at
tention is necessary under normal
weather conditions. Ashes should be
shaken down before the furnace stove
is refllled with fresh coal.

engagement is that the poetry of it
gets tarnished. the fire and thrill peter
out, and even it's sentiment gets moth
eaten and dingy. 1t is a burden on
the man and a cruel injustice to the
girl. and no man has any business
asking a woman to marry him until
he can also set the wedding day.
The young boy who asks girl to
wait for him while he goes out into
the world to make his fortune can
only justify his foolhardiness by his
youth. He is so young he does not
realize what he is doing, II he is
honorable, he is tying himself down
for life before he has even begun to
live; and If he is dishonorable, he is
wantonly sacrificing a womans life.
The boy goes out into the great uni
versity of life. He learns, grows, de-
velops, changes from boy to man.
He comes TO belong to another
some day he knows that he must go
back and make good on that engage
ment. His love has flickered and
gone out. His heart may even be
another's.
If he has the courage, he tells the
girl that he has outgrown his boyish
affection. and there is one more sour
old maid in the world, woman who
has been defrauded of her spring
time of love and happiness by wait
ing on a vain hope.
If he lacks the courage, and is OF
the stuff that martyrs are made Of he
goes back and keeps his troth, and
marries the girl, and both are miser-
able ever after.
So, son, pass up the early engage
ment! Flee it as you would the pesti-
lence, and take this as an additional
straight tip: Any woman of 23 who
would be willing to engage herself to
a boy of Is is a candidate for the

over the hot fuel bed and at the same
time cooling the heating surfaces
should be avoided. All air necessary
to combustion should be drawn
through the bed of coal and fire and
all checking of draft should be ac-
complished by shutting the ash-pit
door and opening the check damper in
the stovepipe. Thus all the heat pos
sible is held in contact with heating
surfaces.
Keep the ash-pit empty. Do not
let the ashes bank up under the CRATE.
This not only prevents the proper
circulation of air needed for COM
bustion, but also tends to warn the
CRATE bars. Removing the ashes
regularly once day, even if only a
small amount has fallen, is the best
plan.
Ranges of ordinary domestic size
for the average family require chest
stove coal can be used to good ad-
vantage, but chestnut" will surely
give satisfaction.
Base burners, with magazines eight
inches in diameter or smaller pro-
duce best results when chestnut" is
used. In larger sizes use "stove" coal
alone, or a mixture of "stove" and
Chestnut"
Steam and hot water boilers of
fairly large size are best operated with
egg size anthracite. In small boil
erS of these types, stove size or a
combination of half "egg" and half
stove" gives best results.
Hot air furnaces of all sizes gener-
ally in use for domestic and other
purposes should be fed with 'egg"
size anthracite.
No ash shifter is necessary if the
right size and quality of coal is used
and it is being properly burned. The
coal should burn to a fine ash and its
first trip through the stove or furnace
should be its last.
Clinkers are usually a sign of either
improper use of poker or improper
regulation of drafts. Too hot a fire
either in the stove or furnace is al
most sure to produce clinkers.
Do not let the air in the house get
too dry. Dry air is a poor conductor
of heat and even warm air when dry
does not make one feel warm. The
air in the house should he kept rea-
sonably moist at all times in order to
insure health and comfort. The
simple remedy is accomplished by
placing an open vessel on or near each
radiator, as much out of the way as
