At Bluehili . rather novel and wholly
successful method OF raising money for
the Red Cross with minimum amount
OF work was demonstrated at.A"Elwin
Cove" the summer residence OF 4. j..
Brooks OF East Orange, N. J. In the
middle OF June Mr.. Brooks planted
potatoes in . wooden box three feet
square, and advertised that Is cents
would be charged each person who cared
to guess the probable number Of potatoes
raised through this intensive farming.
Guessing to tine amount OF tlo50 has
taken place through the summer, the
numbers ranging from Is to 1000. Mon
day when the potatoes were dug. in the
presence OF atty interested spectators,
the number was found to be 22s. The
person having guessed the nearest to
that number was Mr.. De Chambeau, Of
the well-known Flonxsiey Quartette
OF New York. Although MIR. De
Chambeau was not present, he had made
arrangements with MIR. Brooks that
in case be was the winner OF the 80
prize offered, the money should 20 to
swell the Red Cross fund. The rs
potatoes were auctioned on by the host,
e5 being gained thereby, and the earth
In which they had been planted was
bought for another IS by Mrs. Edward
Weston OF the Parker Point colony. The
proceeds in full from Mr.. Brooks scheme
amounted, therefore, to 5000, not to
mention the fun enjoyed by all.

Mrs. P. j. Macready, of Lansdowne,
Pa, spent a few weeks with her moth
er, Mrs. J. Noble, at her w. 18th ave-
u bungalow.
Mr.. and Mrs. Durham and daugh-
tiers, of Chester, Pa, are the guests of
their parents, Mr.. and Mrs. A. Schlor-
err, at their E. 18th avenue cottage.
Mr.. and Mrs. G. Smith, of Cynwyd
Pa, spent the week end at their W.
10Th avenue cottage, accompanied by
a friend.
Mrs. A. Davis spent last week in
Philadelphia on business.
These are the days, when the fisher
men, amateur and other wise, take to
the tall waves, aud endeavor to catch
something best lie a cold. Such a party
Of enthusiasts took possession of Henry
II. Ottens' "Colonel' last Saturday,
and got as many as fifty fish all told.
We call them fish, but some people
would blush at the mention of the
name if a foot rule was laid along the
starboard quarter of some of the catch.
Anyhow it was fun. The party con-
sisted of the owner of the "Colonel,n
Lieutenant Albert Hanson, Mrs. E. w.
Omensetter, Mrs. Ida Mehrman, Mr..
and Mrs. Justis, Fred Smith, the we'll
known Cynwyd, Pa. trsp shooter, who
admits now hat he likes trap shooting
better than bay fishing, a more OF less
we'll known reporter; Captain John A.
Pew, the old scout of the canal; Kid
Let's, the star navigator and bait
catcher, and we believe that is all.
Hope we have not missed anyone.
The party originally intended to leave
the yacht club wharf at eight O'Clock,
but owing to a number of the members
stranding on the inside bar, the Colonel
did not leave until almost ten o'clock.
Plenty of grub was taken aboard in the
way of eight cinnamon buns, which
the ladies speedily consumed unknown
to the men folks of the party. The
party returned to the wharf at 4 O'Clock
in the afternoon, owing to urgent re-
quest of the owner of the motor boat,
who admitted that he had something
to- do beside catching fish. The fish
were divided into three baskets; the
Justus basket containing nine of the
largest sea bass caught, which by some
strange design Of Fate were caught in
a row by Mr.. Justus, one after another,
in less than ten minutes time. Uncle
All Hanson startled the whole party by
landing a two pound weak fish, the
first he had ever caught. OF course
Uncle AL has landed other things in
his time, but this catch will be discus
sed by the genial lieutenant for the
balance of his career.

MONEY NOT TIED UP

Money invested in liberty loan bonds is in no way "tied up." So far as the Government is concerned the money paid in for these bonds, includ- ing that loaned our allies, is being and is to be spent in this country and therefore immediately paid back to the people for labor and products of the country. So far from being tiled up" this money is in effect never with drawn from circulation.
 So far as he investor in the liberty loan bond is concerned his money is not "tied up," since there is always a ready market for United States Gov ernment bongs. Everybody knows this As shown by the subscription

WINTER OATS FOR FALL
 SEEDING IN THE SOUTH

The Committee on Seed Stocks of the United States Department of Agriculture has compiled a list of county agents in the South in whose counties there is a surplus of oats for fall seeding. This list is divided into three sections: CD Counties where the agents actually report surpluses;
 (2) counties from which no reports have been recieved but which are be- iered to have stocks in excess Of loc- al nedds; @ counties in Texas where there are considerable sur piuses of Red Rustproof oats from spring seeding. These Texas Rust proof oats are not generally recom- mended for fall seeding in the South, but may be used in Louisiana, Flori- da and Southern Mississippi, Ala bama, and Georgia if stocks grown from fall seeding are not available. The list will be supplied on request.
The Prescott daily news., 1917-07-20

the demand for liberty loan bonds ex- ceeded the supply 50 per cent. This creates an immediate market for the liberty loan bonds. Another issue will be offered to the people, the an nouncement of which will be made by Secretary of the Treasury McAdoo in due course. The oversubscription of the first issue is an indication of what may Ee expected for the second issue, which is hoped will meet with a larger number of subscribers and a greater sum subscribed.

NO TETANUS GERMS
 DISCOVERED SO FAR
Only One of Three Court Plas- ter Peddlers Is Now Suspect ed.-Investigation Is Being Made.

Kansas City, July 19.-Of the three men charged with peddling or giving away court plaster supposed to contain tetanus germs, with intent to spread the disease throughout the state, one at lola has been released, as all the plasters found on him were harmless and another held at Clay Center probably will be freed, as it is believed he also is innocent of wrong doing. The third man, Jorn Lyng, said to be of German birth, is still held at MarysWlle, as the court plaster taken from him showed evi- dence of having been tempered with. Ten guinea pigs have been inoculated with a culture obtained from samples of the suspected plaster and results are expected within a few days.
 Meanwhile tests made at Lawrence, Kan, in the University of Kansas hacteriological laboratories of samp- les of court plaster sent from 10 places in the state and thought to have been inoculated with tetanus germs, have failed to reveal such bac- teria.
 However, should the tests reveal the presence of tetanus bacilli in the court plaster Fred Robertson, district attorney for Kansas, has been given free rein by he attorney general of the United States to go to any length and to any expense to run down the alleged conspiracy and learn whether it was part of an organized system of German terrorization propaganda.

KEEP GARDENS GROWING

This is the time of the season when the gardener is likely to allow the weeds to get a start in the garden. Right now the plants need every drop allowed to rob them. Weeds grow much faster than cultivated crops and if not destroyed will rob the plants of the moisture they need for forming fruit. Those fortunate enough to possess a private waterworks, or who have city water should make use of the garden hose to supply the crops in the home garden with needed water. The watering should be done in the evening and by the time the sun rises the next morning the water will have soaked in The soil should be cultivated about 24 hours after each watering in order to prevent the for nation of a crut on the surface No- thing retains soil moisture like fine ly broken surface Never allow soil in the garden to become baked, as moisture is being lost.
 It is an excellent plan to watar eor- plants, peppers, cabbage, c..e Asra melons, celery, and other cro. -re'- ing highly fertilized soil, wit 7ar rs water. Have a barrel covered with fly screen in which to prepare and store the manure water. Give each plant an occasional watering with this and the added growth will repay you

What the Small Man Dreamt.

4 member of the company seated In
train the other day had been relat-
ing some wonderful stories of dreams
fulfilled. Suddenly he turned on the
diminutive passenger who had smiled
at one of his yarns, "You appear to
doubt my word, sir" he remarked.
"Perhaps you imagine that dreams
have no value?"
mine hadn'tw murmured the little
man.
'Indeed! And what did you dream?"
"That big black dog sprang out
of the passage and took about half
pound out of the calf Of my leg
Strange to say" he continued, "the dog
that actually did bite me was the dog
of my dream"
"There you are, then!" calculated
the other man. "If you'd value the
dream at it's proper worth you'd have
been on the lookout for that dog, and
might have escaped. And yet you say
that dreams have no value!"
"And / repeat, sir, that mine hadn't
for, unfortunately, I met the dog before
had the dream!"
