they were obliged to cut path eight
feet wide in order to. make their OBJ

were found to be in place, unlike the
conditions in Adams county, where
many were displaced, one having been
used as a doorsill in a dwelling house,
another in a church, and others lying
at considerable distances form the or
iginal places.
About a dozen old markers and
stones, carved with the arms of the
proprietors, have been found near
Highfeld, and will be erected on the
line. These had never been put up
and it is thought, had been sent down
the river and carted to the vicinity
where they were found to await need
for them. Some of these stones were
doing duty in bake ovens and others
on doorstep. All were recovered, al
though not with vigorous objections
on the part of the people who were
using them.
The work of re-establishing the line
is being done carefully, and the old
stone posts set along it's course when
Charles Mason and jeremiah Dixon
marked it out in 1853 are being reset
in solid cement bases, and iron posts
are being put in places where the old
posts have disappeared.-New York

FARMER NEEDS THE TOWN

YOUR home town is worth great
deal to you, Mr.. Farmer. You need
it in your business. Yes-in your
business. 1t takes brains these days
to run a farn-brains and system.
The man who lives five miles from
town, the man who can raise shoats
and steers and alfalfa and big nub-
bins and sell them at proft-that
man is just as much a business man
as the man who runs a store and lives
three blocks from the postoffice and
his interests in the community are
Just as great. And, because you are
business man, you need your town.
You desire very much to see your
town grow. The prosperity of your
town means prosperity to you. You
advance as your town advances-as
your town gets bigger and better your
land becomes more valuabIe-there
are better churches and better schools
in the community, there are better
roads-there are better facilities for
marketing that which you produce on
the farm, and, most important of all
there are larger opportunities for your
own boys and girls. As father-as a
business mantle welfare of your
boys and girls looms up as a mighty
big thing in their life. You'd like to
see your youngsters settle down near
the old home place-on good farms, or
in the community town near which
you live. You'd like to see them pros
porous, contented, happy-surround-
ed by the comforts and conveniences
of modern country life. You are an
important part of the community, Mr..
Farmer, and what you say and what
you do will go long way toward
making the home community what you
would have it to be. 1t will pay you
well to take an hour off some of these
times and have a heart to heart talk
with that neigbor of yours who doesn't
seem to be taking much interest in
local affairs Tell him that your
town is his town, too.

A SOLDIERS PRAYER

Lord, give me this day my manhood
to stand straight. Lead me into bat
tie with a clean heart and sober
mind. Deliver me from blind hate
and wanton ruthlessness; give me
only that white anger that lends
righteousness to battle Help me to
preserve the idea of my forefathers.
Let me keep my mothers face before
me and the feel of my fathers hand
upon my shoulder; and strengthen
them against the day when I shall
return NO more. Amen--Arthur

PERSONALITY IS BIG FACTOR.
Enables Man to Sell 20 Cents Wortl
of Paper Gold Mines for $4,000.

Personality is that quality of human
nature which enables q man to sell 90
cents worth of paper gold mines to
another man for $4,000 and then have
his customer grieve for fear he has re-
ceived too much for his money. Per
sonality is the greatest factor in the
business world today and if an en-
plove has proportionatelv Sl25 worth
Of ii to the boss 5 81 worth, that en-
rlove will own the business within a
year. For this reason the boss should
analyze the applicant for traces Of per
sonalitv rather than submit him to the
handwriting test which is an obsolete
accomplishment in these days OF type
writing machines.
There can be no crowd Of people with
! oat an epidemic Of personality breaking
Out and when il manifestS itself in more

| persons do not possess personality. If
they did il would remain in hiding and
have no Incentive to reveal itself
! Personality in soldier is that which
inspires his fellows to rush with him
headlong into the jaws of death on thc

SILK FARM IN TEXAS.
Successful Experiment by American Elk
pert-Plans to Increase Industry.

More than 1000 pounds OF cocoons will
be obtained this year from the I0-acre
silk farm that is situated on the outskirts
al Austin. This producing industry
was established here about Is months ago
by DR.. Y. n. Osigan, a silk-producing
expert from Armenia, and associates says
the Manufacturer Record The 30 acres
Of land that are devoted To the raising
Of silk worms were planted in 10000 null
berry trees. and they will have furnished
during the present year leaves for five
crops of c0coons. The trees have made
4 wonderful growth, and it IS expected
that within five years they will have pro-
vided enough leaves to afford a yield OF
more than ~ times the quantity eff CO.
coons that were obtained this year
THIS silk industry here has proved so
successful during tho comparatively brief
period that it has been i'll operation that
tha size Of the farm will he more than
doubled next year by the planting Of
about 10000 additional mulberry trees
The plantation Is to be ultimately IN
creased until it embraces more than 900
acres. When it attams this size II will
/ be capable of giving an annual yield, it is
stated. OF more than 100000 pounds Of
cocoons or raw silk 1t is planned to
make ii the largest silk farm in the world.
! II these ambitious plans are realized. it
will mean the keeping at home OF con
siderable part Of the $500, 5000 which are
sent out Of this country each year for
! the purchase Of silks. Il is stated
! Although many experiments have been
| made from time to time in growing silk
in this country, none OF them proved sue
cessful until the farm was established by
Dr. Osigian. The greatest drawback, it
is claimed. to successful silk culture in
the United States Is the high cost Of la
bot. Dir osigian, however. has overcome
this latter factor by adopting mechanical
methods, to large degree, Of handing
the cocoons and the eggs OF the sill,
worm He also finds Mexican labor cheap
and trustworthy in this particular branch
of industry
IN order to encourage the development
OF silk growing in this section, DIR
Osigian and associates are making liberia
offers for the supplying Of mulberry trees
and silN-wom eggs to farmers. 1t j:
claimed that the work Of attending Il
: the silk worms is easily learned, and that
the production Of silk can be made very
profitable adjunct to general farming op
ferations.
