Visitor from Canada.

Several years ago Henry j.
Mellott and family moved from
Licking Creek township to Ohio,
While they were doing we'll
enough in Ohio, they were at
tracted to the rich farming lands
in Canada about six years ago,
which at that time could be pur-
chased at a price that looked
good. Henry and his family
went over and purchased a hun
dred acres; later another hundred,
and this land they are now cul-
tivating in addition to the same
number of acres leased. They
are located Is miles north Of Lake
Erie and 30 miles east of Detroit,
on land having a slope of 4 feet
to the mile. One of the first
things after clearing the land is
to tile it. The first tiling is done
with 4-inch tiles every eight rods.
Later these strips of land are
split with another set Of tiles the
same size, which now makes your
land tiled every four rods. When
this is done, you have a soil which
for fertility and sure crop raising
is unsurpassed. Four years ago,
Mr.. Mellott cultivated $50 acres
in corn and got a crop of 5000
bushels of shelled corn.
The blowing is done with gang
plows, and here is where the
tractor gets in its work, although
Mr.. Mellott has been doing his
work with horses. With two
men, ten horses, and two gang
plows he plowed 70 acres in 8
days, making the furrows 7 inch
es in depth and II inches in
width.
OF course, Mr.. Mellott is a
foreigner" in Canada; and a
recent ruling of that Government
made it necessary for every one
not a native born of the country,
to prove up his nationality, or to
become a naturalized citizen of
that country. As Mr.. Mellott did
not feel like surrendering his
birthright as a "Sammie," he
came back fto the States" for
the necessary papers to allow
him to live in Canada, and still
be a citizen of the United States.

Injury by a Fall.

Last Saturday afternoon Will e
Mrs. James A. Stewart, who is
now in her S4th year, was out in
the chicken yard looking after
some little peeps in which she
was much interested, she made a
misstep and fell.
At first it was thought that
she was very much injured, but
as one of her arms became much
swollen and very painful, DR..
Mosser was summoned, who
after reducing the swelling found
that a probable dislocation of the
shoulder had taken place. 1t
was at first thought that an arm
was broken.

Break the Chain.

The Pennsylvania Committee
of Public Safety has been advis-
ed by the Federal authorities that
a chain letter plan for the pur-
pose of founding special hos
pital in France, for treatment of
wounds in the face and jaw"
should be discouraged. Receip-
tents of the letter were request
ed to send twenty five cents to
the French Consul at Seattle,
and to write five friends to do
likewise. This letter was put in
circulation through a misunder-
standing. 1t links the name Of
the Red Cross with the enter
prise but the American Red Cross
announces that it has never
agreed to help finance such a hos
pital. The Red Cross and the
French Ambassador are anxious
that the chain should be broken.
The Treasury Department has
authorized disapproval of a chain
letter plan which has been start
ed by some enthusiastic workers
for the sale of War Savings
Stamps. The National War Saw
ings Committee also wishes the
public to understand that it did
not instigate such a plan. In
fact, the Federal authorities are
opposed to all chain letter
schemes.

Painful Accident.

Last Thursday morning Mrs.
Frank Bumgarner went out to
feed the chickens at her home in
Belfast township and stepped on
a rolling stone that caused her to
fall with such violence as to
fracture one of the bones be-
tween the knee and ankle in her
right leg. Upon realizing what
had happened, her first impulse
was to lie still and fill herself
full of trouble; but before she
had INDUCED in this luxury very
long, it occurred to her that
there were thousands of men
over in France that were get
ting bigger hurts than hers, and
she had never heard of one of
them playing the baby. With
this thought in mind, she picked
herself up, started off to milk the
cows, determined to make her.
self believe nothing had happen
ed; but when a thoughtless COW
bumped her, this time causing
the fractured bone to protrude
through the flesh, Mrs. Bum
garner decided that it was time
to send for DR.. Fisher.
Mrs. Bumgarner is in bed, but
she will be alright just as soon as
the bone knits itself good and
strong and the swelling disap-
