WHITE CLAY CREEK

The severe cold weather brought
luck to hunters along White Clay
Creek. A fine coon came into the
very door-yard of Mr.. Foak, Roe
Vile. 1t was captured by George
Chalmers.
Mr.. Samuel Eastburn last week
found a wild duck frozen into the
ice of the creek so that it was re-
moved with difficulty. 1t was still
alive.
Miss jamie Chalmers was badly
frightened Monday morning when
her horse slid all the way down the
hill in front of her home. Her
Uncle John happened along just in
the nick of time to her rescue. The
wagon shaft was forced between
the horses forelegs and the har
ness broken, but no serious dam
age resulted other than the shak
ing up of Miss Chalmers nerves.
While crossing the railroad a
Lumbrook Station, Mr.. James Viii
lis of Newark, lost his footing OF
the ice, but was saved from
fractured skull by the thick cal
which he wore.

to walk out on pair of $40 shoes?
They are the same kind which cost
$500 a few years ago, but you
were not near as proud of them.
Doesn't it make you smile at the
Englishman who said, "You Am
orleans know the price of every
thing and the value of nothing"
He was dead wrong. We don't even
know the price of things.
Perhaps in the future we will
pay a little more attention to val
ues and less to price. After the
drunken way our accustomed guide
posts have deserted their usual
sober PAGES and reeled and swayed
about to our utter confusion.
Take fertilizers for instance. A
fifty percent increase in price since
last spring seems rather steep

most fertilizers Except potash)
are cheaper now than they have
ever been. Fertilizer has no
standard of value save its ability
to produce crops; therefore, it's
value must be measured in terms
of crops and its price compared
with crop prices.
In 1914 the usual corn fertilizer
without potash cost S24 per ton.
At the same time a bushel of corn
was worth 60 cents, taking the
country over. A bushel of corn
would buy so pounds of fertilizer.
Today, the price of the same fertil-
izer is around S35 ton while corn
readily sells at $3.50 a bushel or
more. A bushel of corn will buy
rs pounds of fertilizer. In COM
parative values fertilizers are
actually cheaper than they were in
1914.

false notions on the part of the
boys as to the dignity of such as
sumed titles, and has taken, a de-
finite stand against "tin soldier
ing" careful analysis of its

has justified the New York State
Military Training Commission in
accepting membership in the Boy
Scouts of America as equivalent to
the requirements of the training to
be given under the new law.
All parents will be interested to
know that the Military Training
Commission of the State of New

milton to the value of the Scouting
