Rider. a farmer, while walking
across the barn yard ran his foot
into an old hay fork. carelessly
thrown there. and buried its tooth
far into his flesh and suffered tor
lures. A few days passed and the
pain subsidized. but he noticed that
the pain seemed to have shifted
from his foot to his neck: becom-
ing alarmed he summoned a ply
stefan and after a careful examina-
ton, discovered that Mr.. Rider was
suffering with an attack of tetanus.
Proper treatment being admins
tered in due time checked the
dreadful disease.

active campaign in the East at his
own expense for Woodrow Wilson

West to keep up the good work.
The treachery of Roosevelt to Par

basest political treachery in the his

Chap. 9 of his classic says: While
the Progressive party had It's

GOOD COACHING
IN CHINATOWN,
SMIDDY THINKS
Persons Arrested for Having
Opium in Possession Tell
Same Story, He Says

1t has been several months since
the informers who work around the
federal court have been given pub.
Iicity in the local newspapers, but to-
day Marshal J. J. Smiddy opened up
the subject with the following state
ment to the Star-B Bulletin:
EVERY Chinese we arrest these
days for having opium in possession
tells the same tale-that he doesn't
know what opium looks like: that
the informer must have brought the
epinm with him and placed it in con-
cealment; that the informer had de.
manded blaciInail, and any number
of other excuses. This leads me to
suspect that some very good team
work In 'coachin has been pulled off
in Chinatown lately.
Marshal Smiddy also is investiga.
ting report that a certain man, for
merly chauffeur in Iwilei, now is
posing in various houses of i'll repute
as detective from the federal court.
According to information received by
Smiddy, this man Is earning a sub
stantial living by promising not to
'squeal', when he learns of a deal
that has been engineered. Although
this is rumor, the marshal says he In
tends to get the facts if there are any.

heating and ventilating equipment in
the one-room rural school. A major
ity Of the rural schools Of the State
are heated by stove generally Of the
so-called box type and most Of these
schools have no Arrangement for ven
tilatton except by means Of the open
window. Many towns cannot secure
the funds to install a modern heating
system and the result is that no at
tempt is made to improve these condi-
tions.
Several superintendents Of schools
nave secured excellent results by using
homemade" jacket for the stove
and by installing a ventilator with the
Jacket. H. A. Allan, Agent for Rural
Education. is much interested in this
plan and has made several tests of its
efhciency. In school buildings in which
tnls simple equipment is used an even
temperature in all parts Of the room
may be found in the most severe
weather and complete circulation Of
fresh air is obtained Its installation
Is not expensive-varying in cost for
material and labor from ten to twenty
dollars. 1t insures an adequate supply
OF fresh air for the pupils and pre-
vents that condition so often found in
school when the pupils seated near
the stove are uncomfortab bly, hot while
| those seated in the corners of the
room are uncomfcrtably cold. BY
using the ventilating jacket the stove
may be removed to a corner of the
room out of the way of the teacher AMI
pupils and the long stove funnel so
o1ten running the entire length Of the
room may be dispensed with.
Jacket for an ordinary box stove
is made of number &c galvanized sheet
iron reinforced on the edges by steel
wire. The sheet iron is so placed
around the stove as to leave an air
space of from to u inches between
the jacket and the sides of the stova
The jacket stands on legs made of fire
steel and is raised about or 10 inches
from the floor and extends to a height
OF II or IA inches above the stove. A
Tin pipe ten inches in diameter is in =.
serted through the wall of the building
AT the floor level and CONVEYS fresh
ar from out of doors within the Jacket
Inc fresh air inlet is equipped with
camper to regulate the flow of fresh

Little incidents connected with the
tempest which visited Augusta last
Wednesday Afternoon are still coming
to the surface, some Of which have
funny side while others do not, and
here is one Of the former, in which
a citizen Of Windsor was the princi-

his belated crop Of hay and had al

away in the barn when they saw the
storm clouds coming. There is moth
ing that will stir farmer to greater
energy when he has lot OF hay out
and all ready for the barn than an
approaching thunder shower, and the
way that those two men hustled the
hay into the rack Is said to have brok-
en- all records in the hayfield. They
got the rack pretty we'll loaded and
the man whose name begins with the
second letter in the alphabet was on
top Of the load. trimming" it. They
might at that time have reached the
barn in safety but the man who own
ed the hay wanted to get in two or
three more bundles. 1t Is said that
they succeeded in landing one bundle
on top of the load and started for the
harm, but just then the storm broke
and came rushing down upon them
like young cyclone. With cloud Of
dust, sticks, leaves and small branch
es Of trees going before it, the gale
struck that load Of hay with the force
Of a 15-inch shell. tore off the top Of
the load and carried it together with
the man on it for some little distance
and landed both beside stone wall.
But the wind was not satisfied. for it

Apple Crop Light, Except
York and Cumb. Cos

The reports received by Clyde l., Will
kins of Wilton, the State horticulturist
from each county demonstrator shows
that the counties of York and Cum
berland are the only two counties in
the State which will have anywhere
near a normal crop of general vari-
ETY. of apples. This fact is attributed
to the southern location of these coun-
ties where the weather has not been
as damp as in the central, eastern and
northern portions of the State. AS is
the custom, the largest crop Of apples
will be raised in oxford county. with
Franklin county second and Cumber-
land county third. There will be fall
ing off in the number of Mcintosh Red
apples because Of a scab or blight
which affected them, and this brand OF
fruit Is Of an inferior quality. Inc
crop Of Baldwin apples will fall so per
cent below that of last year. while the
Wealthies are quite plentiful this sea-
SON The Ben Davis will lead in hav-
ing the largest crop, with the Wolf
river second. the Baldwin third and
the Stark fourth.
II is estimated that 100000 barrels OF
this years crop will be shipped, While
last wear less than 2OO. 900 were shipped
by the different railroads and steam
ship lines doing business In the state.
During the preceding year nearly 6oo,-
600 barrels were shipped but the Euro
mean war made the rates prohibit1Ve
and MANY Of the farmers allowed the
apples to remain on the ground WITH
