BEQUEATHED TO GERMANS.
Worlds Greatest Stamp Collection Now
Held in Paris.

Berne, Feb. 2l.--The worlds greatest
stamp collection at present in Paris, and
valued at $500, 900, has been bequeathed
to the Berlin Postal Meuseum. 1t was
the property of Philip la Renetiere, a
wealthy Frenchman, who died at his
home in Switzerland last year 1t is
supposed that the will was framed be-
fore the war, as there is no reason to
believe that the owner had pro-German
sympathies in the present conflict.
The Berlin Postal Museum has already
one of the finest collections in existence,
but this bequest, if the French courts
allow it to stand, will put it out of reach
of any rivals.
La Renetiere commenced his collection
in 1864, and spent upon it the greater
part of large fortune, 1t includes the
only known specimen of the 1856 l-cent
British Guiana, the most priced stamp in
the world, said to be valued at 5000
The collection has. never been exhibited,
and it was always supposed that the
owner intended to leave it to the city OF
Paris.

The statue of liberty, including the

estal, towers aloft about 30 feet, II Is
the largest imitation OF the bronze pre-
scented TO America by the French nation
ever made and IL is expected that il

ing of medals and nails, the latter to be
driven in by bond Subscribers.
In the base of the statue there is a
large room with two entrances From

Philadelphia, Feb. 2l.-Probably no
other section of the country has made
more elaborate preparations for the third
Liberty loan campaign than the third
federal reserve district which embraces
two-thirds of Pennsylvania, New Jersey
south of Trenton and all of Delaware.
Philadelphia, as the headquarters of this
territory, will be the focal point of spec
tacular interest during the new drive.
-Four art figures in heroic mold have
been installed over the four archways of
the city hall here to stimulate interest in
the campaign. Notable among these Is a

of Barbholdi's statue of the Goddess of
Liberty in New York harbor Surmount.

DON'T SUFFER
WITH NEURALGIA
Use Soothing Musterole

When those sharp pains go shooting
through your head, when your skull
seems as if it would split, just rub a
little Musterole on your temples and
neck. 1t draws out the inflammation,
soothes away the pain. usually giving
quick relief.
Musterole Is a clean, white ointment,
made with oil of mustard. Better than a
mustard plaster and does not blister.
Many doctors and nurses frankly rec
ommend Musterole for sore throat, bron-
chitis, Group, stiff neck. asthma, neural
'gia, congestion, pleurisy. rheumatism,
iumbago. pains and aches of the back or
oints, sprains, sore muscles, bruises,
chilblains, frosted feet - colds of the
chest tit often prevents pneumonia. II

Open-Furrow Oats Did Not
Winter-Kill.

In the fall of 1916 we sowed our
oats with a regular two-horse grain
drill, as I have done for a long time,
having been successful with the crops
up until that winter. The cold spell
that came in February killed them
nearly all, only a scant stand being
left, so we had a very light crop of
oats.
Our cotton was late in 1917 again
so I saw l would have to SOW by an
other way than with an ordinary
grain drill. I had already sowed some
though with the usual preparation
and with the two-horse grain drill.
This sowing came to good stand, but
was killed to one-third of a stand by
the freeze in January. l decided to
get a Cole one-horse grain drill and
SOW the balance of my crop. This
I did, except I made it a two-horse
drill instead of on-horse by hitching
two mules to it. 1t was too heavy for
one to pull. Two mules can pull it
easily. 1t has three drills on it, and
1 went one trip to the row and n
hand sowed five acres a day with it
and got his own seed oats and ferti-
lizer too.
These oats came up in nice open
drills and made good growth. When
the freeze came l saw the broadcast
sowing was gone, but when I went
to see these they were there Ito my
surprise). They soon sprang up and
began to grow, fresh and green, and
beat any winter sowing of oats in
our community. When we went to
thrash they came out of the thresher
