Tropical Weather.

A letter to his mother, Mrs.
Lucina Former, from Peter C.
Former, on the U. S. S. Vermont
now lying at Port Au Prince,
Haiti, states that he is well, but
not particularly enjoying the
winter weather there. 1t seems
more like harvest weather in Full
ton County and then some. He
says the Vermont is some boat.
1t is 100 feet in width and $500
in length, and sc feet of the mon
ster dreadnaught is below the
water line. 1t is equipped with
four 12-inch guns, fourteen Finch
guns, and about twenty-five g.
inch. He says that on their trip
to Haiti, they were five days and
five nights entirely out of sight
of land. And they encountered
storms in which waves rolled
clear over the top of the huge
vessel and made you think every
minute it was going to upset.
He says that mail reaches him
only once a month. He thinks
they may not stay at Port Au
Prince longer than the first of
February. Abundance of oran-
ges and bananas grow on the ISL
and. Peter is developing into
something of a shot. He has
won several first prizes for marks

STATE College Dairy HerI
Improved by Ime.gred Fire,

A pure-brel sire OF high pro.
ducing ancestry must be at the
head of the COW herd if it is to
show Improvement from year t.
year. The Pennsylvania State
College increased the average
yield of its herd something over
AZ pounds of butterfat and 1914
pounds of milk per cow in ten
years by the use of a pure bred
sire. All heifers, good, bad and
indifferent were kept in the herd
so that it could be determined
what influence the pure-bred sire
would have. Had the herd been
culled the improvement would
have been much greater.
In Illinois it was found that
those farmers who were grading
up their herds with pure bred
sires, received an average of
over $40 more returns per COW
than did those who did not use
pure-bred sires.
The first cost of a pure-b bred
sire of high producing ancestry
is more than most farmers feel
that they can afford. This is
where the community breeding
association finds its value. A
number of farmers can club to.
gether and purchase an excellent
sire at no greater cost to each
man than were each to purchase
a scrub sire independently.
The better returns from the
better sire make the proposition
a valuable one for any communi-
ty. Where there are enough
men in the breeding association
that sires may be exchanged be-
tween different sections of the
community, there is only one in
itial outlay for a period of four
to six years.
Better cows make more profit
able dairying and the bull as
sociation is one important agency
in securing better cows.

Repeal Useless Laws.

At the biennial session of the
Pennsylvania Legislature hun
dreds of useless bills are introduc-
ed, many of which are passed on
ly to lumber the statute books.
On this subject the Monthly
Bulletin" issued by the Pennsyl-
vania Manufacturers Association
declares that "about 5000 bills
we're introduced at the last ses-
sion of the Legislature. No man
in his right senses can think that
orderly, well-developed and sue
cessful commonwealth like Penn
sylvania, after a career of ap-
proximately a century and a half
needs 5000 new laws, or any con
siderable fraction thereof"
No, indeed, it is the men not
in their right senses who are re-
sponsible for the enormous num-
Der of bills introduced in the
Legislature and fostered and
fathered to a finish when they
are placed on the statue books.
All kinds of bills-most of them
fool bills that should never have
been reported from committee,
much less introduced in Senate
or House; corrective bills, bills,
with a penalty, bills to change
the system of government, bills
to remedy alleged evils that never
existed, bills to help out labor.
bills to punish men for all sorts
of crimes, real and imaginary;
bills to turn the entire common
wealth upside down, to give the
old state a violent whirl and scat
ter things topsy-turvey; bills to
stand the old state on its head,
and bill to shatter the entire yer.
tebrae bills without number and
for the most part framed to make
a little notoriety for some cheap
statesman.
Pennsylvania does not need
those dills; nobody is crying for
them nor asking for them they
are the product of the restless
legislators who imagine they are
not doing their duty unless they
get new law or new laws on
statue books. There are over a
thousand laws on the statue book
of Pennsylvania now that could
be lost and nobody would ever
miss them useless laws that
never did and never will benefit
the Commonwealth. Better re-
peal these useless laws rather
than pass any new ones. Star

lmmensity Of Automobile Business.

So much has been written rela-
tive to the development of the
motor car industry and so many
prophesies have been ventured
without proper consideration of
vital and controlling factors, that
a clean and simple analysis of
the subjectmay serve to dissipate
much of the unfounded conjec-
ture.
The automobile market is d.
vided into two broad fields. First
the rural class, which includes all
persons engaged in farming and
others in various businesses who
live in towns of less than five
hundred population. Second, the
urban class, which comprises all
people in any but farming pur-
suits, who live in towns of five
hundred or more population.
In the rural or farming mark
ct, there are 6,500,0OO families.
Ore million of these now own
motor cars and one and one-half
millions are poor, illiterate, or
negroes, who for the purpose of
this study may be excluded from
the prospective buying class.
There remain, then, 100000
farm families who are possibly
automobile buyers.
In the urban class, covered by
IL, 600 towns and cities of more
than five hundred population,
there are about 100000 home
owners of which number only g.
600, ,0OOnow own cars. Accord.
ingly, there remain 100000
prospective buyers in this class,
or a total actual unsold market,
in both rural and urban classes,
of 1000, 900 possible automobile
buyers.
The accepted average life of an
automobile is about five years in
the hands of the original owners;
and as the man who once owns a
car will not thereafter be without
one, we must include the recorder
market which in the Calendar
year of 1917 will be about 6OO,.
900, this being twenty per cent.
of the 5000, 900 now in use.
For the year 1917, therefore,
the auttmobile business will face
a market of about 100000 pos
sible buyers. Not more than L.
500, 600 cars will be built in the |
year, leaving possible |
excess market of 100000 buy
ers at the beginning of 1918.

My Dear Sir:-A few lines to
you and all my friends about
Burnt Cabins. Almost three
years have elapsed since we left
Fulton county, but, in the mean
time, we have not forgotten it,
Pleasant are the memories that
we entertain of three years ago;
also, do | recall the long dark
drives to and from my appoint
ments.
How we'll do | recall the bitter
ness that was manifest against
me for my stand against license
for drink; but | am glad to know
that for the coming year, Burnt
Cabins will be without an open
bar. This is the best news that
| have received from The Cabins
since left. | am still in the
midst of the fight, and expect to
remain there until the last Rum
License has been refused.
am now engaged in union
evangelistic service. The Metho-
dists and the Presbyterians are
cooperating, and a very good
feeling is manifest; and, even
tho this is but the first week, we
have had four conversions. Thei e
is every prospect of having a
great meeting this year again.
Two years ago, we had a great
meeting. In four weeks we had
GA conversions, and the prospects
this year are equally good.
One thing that was a cause Of
regret while in Burnt Cabins was
the selfish feeling existing be-
tween the two churches there,
This thought comes to me: If we
cannot work in uhion here, how
can we expect to be in peace and
harmony "Over There" If the
work of God is to prosper as it
should, UNCONVENTIONAL lines must
be re. drawn. | like my work
very much.
This leaves US all well, Baby
Kenneth is quite a boy, 2 years
old, talks almost as much as his
mother, so you know he must be
some talker.

Gowan, the children and all the
rest. Yours,

OBITUARY

Bessie Maven was born in Lakeville,
Holmes county, Ohio, April 10, 1859.
The early years of her life were spent
in and near her native town. On
November 26th, 1882, she married J..
M. Gray at Loudenville and in the
spring of 1883 the couple moved to
farm near Creston, where they re-
sided nine years. In 1892 they moved
to Chippewa Lake and from there in
1896 to the home on the Pike in Mont
vile township, where the family re-
sided at the time of Mrs. Gray's
death, which occurred November 5,
1917.
At the age of So years, 10 months
and rs days, without sickness or suf-
fering, she peacefully passed from
natural sleep to the sleep Of death
leaving to mourn her loss, besides
many sincere friends, her husband,
daughter, May Eleanor, now Mrs
Clancy Gault of Andover, Ohio, sor

Camp at Chillicothe, Ohio, a grand

years.
They have not had any frost and
the country around Waukee is, I
think, the incest I have ever seen in
all the states I have been in. Most Of
the soil Is black and from 6 inches to
Q feet deep. You can see corn, corn,
and more corn, and cattle and hogs
and horses, the same every way you
look. Each farmer has all the way
from 40 to $50 acres of corn. l observ-
ed one man who put in and attended
40 acres with the help of his girl, and
she taught school. Nearly all the corn
is very heavy crop and there are
not very many silos. One farmer put
in 100 tons in five hours, so you see
they work in Iowa.
At the state farm in Des Moines,
saw HOO acres, over 30 convicts doing
the work. I saw five acres of cabbage

they were arranging to make their
cane into syrup and sugar. They
threshed $4,000 bushels Of oats.
We saw a very nice pair of twir

and 1876 cows and cattle, 10 car loads
