of the Northwestern States. Of
course, we raise wheat and oats,
timothy and clover, and some
broom-corn, but corn is our main
crop.
No doubt things have changed
in Pennsylvania since was there
just as they have changed here.
When | first came out here, we
had no railroads-or, very few.
Now they are laced and interlac-
ed, so there is scarcely a place
that is five miles from railroad.
We are just q miles from Low
ington, which has two. Then,
there are the interurbans, which
are fast taking the place of our
steam roads-not only for pas
senger traffic, but for freight.
Illinois is taking the lead in this
interurban building.
| suspect that there would not
be many people l would know if
| should return to Fulton County,
for fifty years is a long time.
There may be a few friends who
may read this that will remember
US. My brother John has always
lived with us,

Crushed ia Coal Nine.

John Schnatz, aged 40 years,
met death while working in a
coal mine at Coalport, Pa, on
the 18th day of January, 1916.
A large quantity of rock becom-
ing detached from the roof of
the mine, dropped upon him,
crushing his breast and breaking
one leg. He was rescued as
quickly as possible by his fellow
workers, and an effort was made
to get him home, but he died on
the way.
The unfortunate man was a
son of the late Joseph and Sally
Schnatz and was born and rear
ed on the old Schnatz farm near
Scott's Schoolhouse in Todd town
ship. He was married to a Miss
Wolf of Chambersburg, and
about 29 years ago, they went to
Coalport, where he had since
been working in the mines. Sur
viving him are his wife and nine
children, the youngest being but
four years of age. Three of the
children are married. Eleanor
wife of John Oyler, near Bethle-
hem church, is a sister.

Gasoline Soaring.

Less than a year ago gasoline
was retailed in Harrisburg at IL
cents. Last Friday it reached a
retail price of 81 cents in New
York City. McConnellsburg deal
ers whohave long since made it a
rule to share profits with custom
ers, are content 70 take % cents
a gallon; but, even here, prices
are liable to change without no.
tice. "
This works hardship on own
ers of motor cars, as well as up
on those who manufacture and
sell them. At 25 cents, the cost
to the average automobilist is
two cents a mile. At the pres
ent cost Of tires, an automobilist
who gets off with q cents a mile
for tires is lucky. Then he must
keep off toll road, or he gets
stung for three cents a mile
more.
The advance in the price of
gasoline is not considered fair,
and the Automobile Dealers AS
sociation will make vigorous at
tack on the oil producers, to
make the latter show that the
present advance is not a mere
arbitrary act on their part.

State Agricultural Notes.

the production of rye in the Unit
ed States with Wisconsin, Michi-
gan and Minnesota leading in or
der named.
For the past twenty-five years
the production per acre of crops
of the country has been increas-
ing at the rate of one per cent. a
year.
Pennsylvania stands sixth in
the production of potatoes in the
United States and easily leads all
other States in the production of
buckwheat.
The damage done by the Hes
sian fly in this State during 1915
was only about one-haif as great
as in 1914. Over half of the
counties were affected. Berks
county had one-fourth of the
crop of wheat affected.
The Dairy and Food Division
of the Department of Agriculture
secured and analyzed 1888 sam
pies of food stuffs during 1915
and brought l, 165 suits for in
fractions of the cold storage and
pure food laws.
To capture the markets of the
State, for Pennsylvania fruits,
all that is needed is closer atten-
tion to the appearance of the
package, as the quality of the
fruit is already established.
A former Pennsylvania resi-
dent now living in Oregon writes
to a Pennsylvania fruit grower:
"0h for some Pennsylvania ap-
ples-the Oregon apples 10 o k
good-but give me those rich,
juicy, quality apples of the dear
old Keystone State"
Fruit growers of Pennsylvania
claim that the greatest need to
the fruit growing business at
present is a law compelling every
shipper to mark his name and
address on every package he
ships, with the grade and mini
mum size of the fruit contained
in the package.
The highest return during the
past year to any Pennsylvania
egg farmer was sixry-three cents
a dozen according to w. Theo.
Whitman, a poultry expert Of the
Department of Agriculture. The
break in prices was the earliest
yet known, and it is claimed that
fall eggs and not winter eggs
now bring the maximum prices.
An average farm with six cows
and four horses will produce in
the barnyard probably fifty tons
of manure in a year, which in
comparison with commercial fer.
tilizer has a cash value of about
$3.50.
During the past two years 2,
400 barnyard pollutions have been
abated by Pennsylvania farmers
by embankments of earth or con-
crete diverting the surface drain
age, and saving both solid and
liquid manure for fertilizing pur-
poses. 1t is estimated that this
manure saved, is worth $1,000 000
a year to the farmers of this
State.
In every horticultural district
of the State, one or more CON-
mercial sprayers are needed. A
man who will render good con-
scientious service with a spray
pump, using the boiled lime-sul-
fur solution, either homemade or
commercial, can do a lot of good
in his community and should
prove as useful to the citizens as
a man with a threshing machine,
corn shredder or cider press.

Edward Bryant, the engineer in charge of the plant, was working near the condenser at the time of the explosion and was much shaken up from the shock. He went to the office of Dr Chase for treatment.
 | The reason for the explosion is said | to be due to over pressure and partly | due to the relief valve. Practically every window in tho large plant was broken by the terri. fic explosion and in the rear and or one side of the power plant the com. plete window frames were smashed tC | pieces.

REAM MUST DEFEND SUIT.
Court Orders Hearing on Former
 Wife's Charge of Fraud.

A special from Saratoga, N. Y, reads:
 Louis Marshall Ream, who inherited one-siXth of the estate of his father Norman B. Ream, who left several mil lions, must appear in court and furnish evidence to prove that the annulment of his marriage to Eleanor Davidson, an actress, performed by a justice of the peace in Hoboken, N. J., in 1911, was not obtained through fraud, ac- cording to a decision by Judge Henry V. Borst Saturday in proceedings brought by Mrs. Ream to have the an nulment set aside.
 Judge Borst overruled a motion made by Ream's attorney, Lindley M. Garri- continue the proceedings on the ground attorney, had served the papers on J. Norris Miller, Reams former lawyer, instead of on the attorneys who are now representing him. Trial of the case was set for April 22 at Amster- dam.
 Senator Bracket, in opposing Judge Garrison's motion, asserted that the marriage of Miss Davidson and young Ream on Sept. 1, 1911, by Justice War ring, was entirely legal; that Ream left his wife by parental direction, although he still loves her, and that Mrs. Ream was deceived when she consented to bring annulment proceedings a short time later. Ream is now in Massa- chusetts.
 The palatial Ream estate is fin Thompson, Conn.

When cross, irritable, feverish, stomach sour, breath bad or has stomach ache, dfarrhoea, sore throat, full of cold, give a teaspoonful of California Syrup of Figs" and in few hours all the constipated poison, undigested food and sour bile gently moves out of it's little bowels without gripping, and you have a well, playful child again.
 Mothers can rest easy after giving this harmless fruit laxative" because it never fails to cleanse the little ones liver and bowels and sweeten the stomach and they dearly love its pleasant taste. Full directions for babies, children of all ages and for grown-ups printed on each bottle.
 Beware of counterfeit fig syrups. Ask your druggist for a 5O-cent bottle of "California Syrup of Figs" then see that it is made by the California Fig Syrup Company"

MARCH SCHOOL REPORT.
North GrosvenordaIe Grammar Pupils Had Best Attendance, Supervisor Barber States - Certificates of Progress.

Supervisor of Schools F. W. Barber n his report of public schools for March writes:
 Continued bad weather has brought Town the attendance this month. In many cases the roads have not been 2assable and the wonder is that so many pupils have been regularly in heir places. Following is a report of he schools standing first and second n attendance for the month in each own: Ashford, Woods 99 per cent, NarrenVille S5 per cent; Canterbury, Smith S8 per cent, Green S5 per cent; Eastford, East Hill 98 per cent, Gen. .er 96 per cent; Hampton, Clark s Corner 9S per cent, Union 92 per cent; Thompson, North Grosvenordale 99 per :ent., New Boston 97 per cent; Wood iuOck, East 98 per cent, Center 96 per .ent.
 North Grosvenordale grammar had he best attendance, 99.3 per cent, and Woods school in Ashford stood sec- )nd with 99.1 per cent.
 Of the 5S schools reporting on time fell below 70 per cent, 13 between 70 and 19 per cent, IS between 80 and i9 per cent. Is between 90 and 94 per :ent., 1 between 95 and 97 per cent, md . between 9S and 100 per cent Any school standing above 90 per cent. turing the past month deserves much redit.
 Planning Work.
 At the last teachers meeting the ieed for better planning of lessons vas discussed and it was suggested hat each teacher work out several letailed plans during each month for he sake of added power in teaching As a result of this suggestion many eaChers have done very commendable planning and the resulting better eaching has begun already to be evil lent.
 Thus far 275 first certificates ot 'rogress have been granted the pupils nd 35 pupils have earned the second certificate of near excellence It is Ioped that many more will earn the ertificates this spring term.
