Bedding Had the Whole Say.

When the votes were counted to de-
termine whether ]. Calvin Limbaugh
or Miss Lucy Gull was elected as COM
missioner of schools, it was found out
that they were running very close
Bedding was the last place whose votes
were counted and up to that time the
matter rested tie between the con-
testants. When the votes from this
city were counted it was found that
Four majority of 800 votes for Mr.
Limbaugh was the actual majority
which he received throughout the
county. Thus it happened that for
once if never again, the people of this
city dictated who was to hold the
school commissioners office.

A big problem conIrontlng the
breweries is the utilization of the
plants, equipment and labor hereto
fore employed for the production Of
beer. Many breweries are consider
ing and some have begun the manu-
facture of maltese sugar strip which
requires but little additional equip
ment and which utilizes barley, one
of the principal materials used in the
making of beer.
Maltese is a sugar which in addi-
ton to being sweet has pleasant fla
vor and otherwise resembles cane
sugar. 1t can be used to advantage
in numerous food products. The
breweries, being already equipped
with much of the machinery neces-
sary for the manufacture of maltese,
and as their employees are acquaint-
ed with most of the processes, the
conversion of the maltese from the
starch in barley, corn, etc., is sim
pie matter.
Maltese propaganda on anything
like a large scale was begun by ex-
perts of the u. S. department of ag-
riculture when the sugar shortage be-
came acute, Is months ago. They
recommended its use, in the sirup
form, in soft drinks, in ice cream and
confections, in bread making and as
table strip. Recently brewers
have been making pilgrimages to
Washington to consult with the ex-
perts of the department both on mat
tiers of converting plants and of out
lets for the product.
The breweries have heretofore used
in beer making about 10000, 900 bush
els of barley annually, more than one
fourth of the crop. The maltese in
dustry. when developed, is likely to
furnish a market for an equal guam
tity.

 The little girl on the end seat was called on first. G1ibly she repeated the ten. There was a pause. She was waiting for the approval of her teacher.
 "Give the other two," firmly com handed the teacher. "My mother said there were only ten, and that was more than anyone could keep, and she knows" retorted the assured lit tie end-seat girl.
 Nonchalantly the teacher began turning the pages of Revelation. She was working to Deuteronomy.

Matter of Jurisdiction,

At the master painters and decorat- ors' banquet the other evening one of the guests said to a companion:
 "I notice a couple of doctors in the gathering"
 "Yes, I saw them, too," the other replied.
 How do you account for their pres ence here?"
 Jokingly the painter answered:
 "Oh, we are obliged to be very strict on account of the uniOn."
 ''How does that affect the doctors?'

A MYSTERY

The river hemmed with living trees Wound through its meadows green; low blue line of mountains showed The open pines between. One sharp, tall peak above them all Clear into sunlight sprang; I saw the river of my dreams The mountains that l sang! No clue of memory led me on But we'll the ways I knew; A feeling of familiar things With every footstep grew. Not otherwise above Its crag 5r.-fz- Could lean the blasted pine: Not otherwise the maple hold Aloft its red ensign. So up the long and shorn foothills The mountain road should creep; So, green and low, the meadow folS Its red-haired kline asleep. The river wound as it should wind, Their place the mountains took; The white torn frtnges of their clouds Wore no unwonted look. Yet ne'er before that river's rim Was pressed by feet of mine, Never before mine eyes had crossed That broken mountain line. A presence, strange at once and known, Walked with me as my guide; The skirts of some forgotten life Trailed noiseless at my side. Was it dim remembered dream? Or glimpse through aeons old? The secret which the mountains kept The river never told. But from the vision ere 1t passed A tender hope I drew, And, pleasant as a dawn of spring, The thought within me grew. That love would temper every change, And soften all surprise, And, misty with the dreams of earth, The hills of heaven arise.

PENTHOUSE HINTS

Your poultry houses should be we'll ventilated in summer. Every glass door should be left open night and day or removed until cold weather. It will require only few minutes to do this and 1t will contribute much toward the comfort and best welfare of your t! hens, writes D. J. Lambert, Rhode Is- land station. During warm weather 1t does not matter which side of the i house is open. It would be better if all sides were out. There is no dan ger from draft during August and Sep tember.
 Growing chicks will grow best when they can roost where there are clean heads. With this simple arrangement there will be less danger from crowd ing and mites. These mites or spider lice multiply very rapidly when the roosts are neg ected. You will find them under the perches and in cracks and crevices of the adjoining wood- work. They crawl out of their hiding places at night and suck their fill of blood from the birds on the roOsts. You can often detect them by very disagreeable odor which they throw eff.
 In order to get rid of them, the house must be opened up to the air, brushed and cleaned out thoroughly from cell ing to floor and then sprayed with solution of cresote oil and water and then with whitewash, so as to know every part of the house has been cov- cred. If a dirt floor, five or six inches of the top must be removed to make complete job of housekeeping. Those who keep poultry and neglect to keep them clean and comfortable cannot expect them to be profitable.

BOY SCOUT DoINGs.

A boy scout in Plainfeld, Conn.,, did his daily "good turn" by going each morning and evening to milk the COWS for a neighbor who was i'll.
 In Providence, R. l., Boy Scout Troop No. 21 earned over $40 and then bought yarn for the Red Cross to be knitted for the soldiers and sailors.
 In appreciation of services rendered to the city of New London, Conn.,, by scouts in a street cleaning campaign, Mayor B. Frank Morgan presented 57 scouts with medals bearing the seal of the city.
 The Covington, Ky, board of edu- cation has passed a resolution that the Boy Scouts of America is to be given precedence over all other or ganization work with boys which may be developed in connection with the public schools of that city.
 The boy scouts of Quincy, Mass, have a headquarters containing 4,545 square feet of building space and 68,- 900 square feet of land to keep in condition. The scouts sweep, scrub and oil the floors, wash windows, dust, keep the grounds in good condition, run errands, do clerical work and all kinds of chores.
 The boy scouts of Troop No. 2 of Winston-Salem, N. C., according to the reports submitted by Scoutmaster J. B. Jones, have sold over $1OO,OOO worth of War Savings and Thrift Stamps.
 One troop of boy scouts in Rhode Island proved that "a scout is a brother to every other scout" by talk ing in several deaf mutes. The idea is that the deaf boys will be trained during camps and hikes to read the movement of the lips so that wherever they are employed in the future they will have largely overcome their handt cap.

Whey of Goats Milk Highly
 Recommended by Authorities

The whey of goats milk is highly recommended by foreign authorities for its medicinal and nourishing prop critics. Zurn says 1t is recommended especially for diseases of the lungs and for anemic persons suffering from mal- nutrition. Thus it is seen that goats milk and it's products are very valuable as food and medicine to mankind. It is largely prejudice and ignorance which up to the present time have prevented poorly nourished persons from having the advantages of this wonderful food.
