ice passed underground to the bot
tom of the hill, where it flowed
through a springhouse. There, in
the cool basin, were set rows of
crooks containing the milk at it's
various stages, from fresh to skim
ming, sour, clabber, buttermilk and
pats of pale-yellow butter. All was
homemade and for home consump-
ton.
Well, in the nearby city there
were four men-a shoe merchant,
banker, a real estate man, and a
lawyer - relatives, all, of ours
through marriage and all big men
with big appetites for buttermilk.
Therefore, when Sunday rolled
round preparation was made at our
grandfather's for the coming of the
"Buttermilk Brigade" The churn-
ing was done at the psychological
moment, the supply was endless, the
goblets gigantic. Those SUNDAYS
were buttermilk debauches - of
course, plus acknowledged chickens,
real poundcake, made from the
aforementioned pats of fresh butter,
and such other perfections as Ken
tucky-born cooks could produce.
Heavenly? Yes; but wait! All this
occupied the time till midafternoon
the big meal was at 1 o'clock. But
along as drew near, and the after
| noon was at it's warmest, our old
grandfather would turn to one of
the young ladies whose reputation
| was established, and start: well,
| Lydia?" He did not have to finish:
she knew. In a few minutes she re-
turned with a large tray on which
were arrayed other tumblers. These
tinkled and were tufted with green,
I and filled the room with q fra agrapca
. of mint. Real Kentucky juleps!
Then. slowly but fully, the thought
of buttermilk faded into the ignored
! past, and something far more Won
derful took it's place to add a climax
of pure delight to the day. In it's
place, buttermilk had been delicious;
but all things are merely relative in
! this life of ours. - New Orleans

Daniels Wants to Control
Radio Communication

Washington, July 20. - Secretary
of the Navy Daniels, in a message to
the President of the Senate and the
Speaker of the House, yesterday
asked that Congress enact legis-
lation at once making ship to shore,
trans-o ocean and international radio
communications from the United
States a government monopoly. The
message also requested authoriz-
alton for the Navy Department to
use Immediately all government
radio facilities for commercial and
press messages.

point of the proposed lake. Reser-
voir Park was also suggested. but
the statuary requires q water en-
vironment for a proper setting.
Governor Sproul urged legislation
creating an art commission to meet
similar difficulties in the location Of
memorials of the Commonwealth,
and such q commission has been au-
thorized by a bill recently approved
by the Governor. 1t would seem that
some such commission, perhaps the
City Planning Commission might Of
ficiate. should be provided for Har-
r!sburg. inasmuch as there are at
least two memorials that await To-
cation. Harrisburg is not so wealthy
in statuary and similar artistic
trimmings that 1t can afford to ig-
more the donors according to public
sentiment which one gathers about
town and the placing of the Donate
statuary cannot longer be postponed.

OUR BEST LITTLE IsfITAToR

The Catbird is so called because
the note by which he is most COM
monty known is like the meow of a
cat. but as n matter of fact he
initiates almost every other sound he
hears, says the American Forestry
Association, of Washington, whose
nationwide birdhouse building con-
test is attracting great attention to
the country's feathered host. 1t has
been said that the catbird can imi-
tate anything from a squaking cart
wheel to the song of a thrush. He
sings along apparently without
knowing what he is going to i'm
provise next. In color this bird Is
rather somber being dark gray with
a black cap. He is one of the most
common birds throughout the Unit
ed States although rare west of the
Rockies.

AN INQUISITIVE BIRD

Some birds are awfully curious
and want to know what is going on.
So if they see a human being in
their neighborhood they will come
close to investigate and perhaps to
scold, and one of these birds is the
Kentucky warbler. says the Ameri-
can Forestry Association, Washing
ton, which is carrying on the ma
tional bird-house building contest.
This bird has preference for
woods which are low and damp and
ordinarily keep we'll within the

bird, which ranges throughout the
eastern United States, spends it's
winter in northern South America.

Obituary..

On the 18th day of April, 1919,
| the angel of death visited the home
of T. A. HARRISON, of Mount Pleas
ant, Tenn, and bore away to better
world the sweet spirit of wife and
mother.
Rosa HARRISON wGs born January
%, 1881. She was devoted chris
tian, uniting with the Methodist
Church at the age of Is years. Seven
children, the youngest two years of
age, mourn the loss of loving
mother
Mrs. HARRISON was not one who
sought by gaudy tinscl to effect dis
play, but in true womanhood bore
herself an example that we'll might
be initiated. Her sentiment was to
give an upright and uplift to those
about her and her modest cendor and
refinement was an open book to be
read by all.
He dies best who lives best; thus
one who was noble, sweet and good
has passed beyond our ken, her alb
sence effecting our hearts like the
silence after exquiGite music. AS a
loving wife and mother, as a chris
tian, neighbor and friend, she
withstood all the tests which glori-
fies her character and chisels her
name a monument in the midst of
fieeting things, an endless inspira-
ton to those left behind.
Tho the parting is hard there's
naught ere can say;
God Giveth to us and He taketh
away;
For his own shall rise in rapturous
fight
And battle themselves ill Heavenly
light.-Mount Pleasant Record.
Mrs. RoGa HARRISON is the wife of
