APPLE HONEY.

If you have more apples on hand
than you can use before they NAV
spoil, try this way of putting I'd the
surplus for some 9th time: Place
three pints or two pounds of sugar
IN saucepan with one pint of hot
water Let boil for about twenty
minutes. or until it forms a thick
syrup. While cooking the syrup, CRATE
or scrape five large mellow apples,
(do not use the Feelings or corel.
When the syrup is done, pour in the
apple pulp and boil for ten minutes
no more. Then put into tin or glass
cans, boiling not, seal and set away.
This should make three pints of the
honey.
Another way to keep the surplus
apples from spelling is to peel, core
remove all defective spots, and can
them, with or without sugar, and you
will have apple sauce at moments
notice when in hurry. To exc out
the income, every fragment" should
be gathered up and made into some
thing that can be served later. Waste
is the mother of Want, and they are
an ill-favored pair at best-Ex.

THE MILK IN THE COCOANUT.
Courier Journal.

There is nothing surprising in the
Presidential candidacy of Henry
Ford and the way it has taken hold
in certain places when one has the
key to it. The key is the candidacy
Of Theodore Roosevelt. Ford is q
mask for Roosevelt. The Gary-Ba-
con-Root combine knows its business.
Ford id Il man of business, as we'll
as man of peace. His business al
lance is Wall Street. Though man
of business he is man of feeling.
What else is Perkins and was not
Roosevelt awarded the Nobel Prize?
With Republican politics in q fluid
state; with n riff-raff of favorite
sons to confuse the multitude, the
down-and-outers all at sea, why should
not the Fordites hold, whilst the Ted
ties skin?
Does anybody suppose that Orm-
Shy McHarg works for nothing and
that Frank Hitchcock is out for his
health? A little money put where it
can do the most good-see Michigan
and Nebraska-goes a long ways.

VISIT TO BLAND COUNTY.

OF my childhood, going horseback via

IT CAN BE DONE.

Somebody said it couldn't be done,
But he with chuckle replied
That maybe it couldn't" but he
would be one
Who wouldn't say so till he'd tried.
So he buckledc right in, with the trace
of grin
On his face. If he worried, he hid it
He started TO sing as he tackled the
thing
That couldn't be done, and he did it.
Somebody scoffed, ooh, you'll never
do that!
At least no one ever has done it,"
But he took off his coat and he
took off his hat,
And the first thing we knew he'd
begun it.
With the lift of his chin and bit of
grin,
Without any doubling or quiddit;
He started to sing as he tackled the
thing,
That couldn't be done, and he did it.
There are thousands to tell you it
cannot be done,
failure;
There are thousands to point out to
you, one by one,
The dangers that wait to assail you;
But just buckle in with n bit of Il grin
Then take off your coat and go to
it;
Just start in to sing as you tackle
the thing
That Cannot be DONE" and you'll
do it.

wheat are fine, some little alfalfa. If
Bland county had good roads, it is
no telling what u great change would
take place. So much timber, so much
land lying idle, and then there is sup
posed to be, and no doubt is, minerals
in abundance in it's hills to be devcl-
oped. 1t is to be hoped that when
the East River mountain road and
the road from Bland court house to
Bastiano are finished and the people
derive the benefit and comfort there
from that all will get good roads fc-
yer, and got to building them at
once. McTEER SAUNDERS.

THE FINISH OF LORD FERRERs.

IN THE eighteenth century the hang
! man was the busiest man in Eng
land. The death penalty was inflicted
for the most trifiing misdemeanOrs.
Men were hanged for stealing spoons,
for defrauding their creditors, for per-
jury, arson, disturbance of the peace.
There was no discrimination in favor
of the women. Scores of servant
girls were hanged in those grand old
days for OffenseS which would scarce
ly draw a reprimand in these easier
times. Naturally, the hangman and
his assistants, and the jailors, and all
who had to do with the condemned,
were calloused and brutal; and a
doomed steer at the stock yards re-
ceives more consideration now than
did the doomed human being then. He
was hustled from the prison to a cart
or sledge and hauled to the gallows
without ceremony, and arrived at the
fatal tree he was 'turned off, as part
Of the days work.
Yet snObbery was possible even in
this dismal matter of execution. The
treatment that was good enough for a
poor but respectable thief wasn't good
enough for blooming nobleman; and
the plain people of London never knew
how artistic a hanging could be until
Laurence Earl Ferrers met his fate at
Tyburn.
Lord Ferrers had the blood of Plan
tagenet kings in his veins. His ances-
tors for ages had distinguished them

selves on battlefield and in council
room, and one of them, who died hero
ically at Shrewsbury, is mentioned by
Shakespeare. The earl himself was
man Of high ability, and when he was
sober, which happened perhaps once in
four or five years. he was said to have
the most charming manners. But he
kept himself picked nearly all the
time, and his charming manners were
not in evidence. He flew into sense
less RACES over nothing, conceived vio-
lent prejudices against people, and al
ways was threatening to kill one per-
son or another. He was so cruel to his
wife that she applied to parliament
for relief, and parliament granted her
a separate maintenance, with the rev.
enues from certain farms and other
property.
William Johnson was his lordship's
steward, and because he had to pay
money from the estate to the lady, the
earl began to hate him bitterly. He
got the idea in his sodden mind that
there was too much johnson in the
negotiations, and determined upon
Johnson's destruction. He prepared for
the crime deliberately, notifying john
son to attend upon him at a certain
hour in the afternoon. As the hour
approached the earl managed to send
everybody away from the place, with
the exception Of two or three maid
servants. johnson appeared for the
interview promptly on time, and the
earl handed him a paper and told him
to sign 1t. The paper was q confes-
sion of all sorts Of crimes and crooked
ness on the part Of johnson, and he
refused to sign 1t, and began to ex-
postulate, but the earl produced a pis-
tol and told him to get on his knees.
johnson fell upon his knees and then
the nobleman shot him. He fingered
until the next day, when he died.
Then the earl barricaded himself in
his ancestral hall and defed arrest.
He was armed to the teeth with pistols
and blunderbuses and other weapons.
He held of the crowd Of officers and
citizens for. several hours, but was
finally captured while trying to make
his escape through back garden.

HEAlDTON FIELD AND
PRODUCTION REVIEWED

The Healdton field at the present
time is producing between 10000 and
100000 barrels of crude oil a day,
which is selling at the market price
of Go cents per barrel with premiums
of from 10 to 10 cents barrel, ac-
cordng to report of conditions in
the field, filed by Art l.. Walker, con-
servation officer, with the corpora
ton commission Monday.
The report is of condition ending
December 81, 1915, and includes a
general statement of pipe lines into
the Healdton field, gas wells, their
capacity, loss of oil and material by
fire, operating companies, their post
office addresses, and the estimated
production, oil in steel storage, ap-
proximate amount in wooden storage,
and a blueprint map showing loca-
ton of all wells finished Dec. 81, 1919.
In addition to that, the report shows
the price of Healdton crude oil from
Feb. 3, 1915, TO December 81, what
different properties are estimated to
be making, total number of wells pro
ducing in the field, total number OF
wells drilling at that date and the
total number of rigs up but not spud-
ded in.
Walker, who represents the corpo-
\ ration commission as conservation Of
ficer, has been working on the report
for some time. He has been on the
ground, and his report of Monday is
not only comprehensive, but shows in
complete detail the actual condition
of the field Walker, in Oklahoma
City, delivered the report to the COM
mission in person.
Pipe Line Runs Increasing.
According to Walkers report, the
pipe lines in the field are Magnolia,
