SCARECROWS USED TO
SOLVE COAL PROBLEM

GREENSBURG, Pa. - A farmer
named Miller, living along the Cone
naugh division of the Pennsylvania
Railroad company, near Tunnelton,
has solved the problem OF coal sup
ply for his family. This farmer has
a big corn field facing the railroad
for a quarter of mile. AS means
to keep crows out of his corn field,
Farmer Miller constructed three
modern scarecrows just inside his
fence. He rugged up his scarecrows
with hideous and most grotesque
false faces. The scarecrows attract
ed the attention and the aim of the
brakemen on the coal trains and
every knight of the brake wheels
made it his business every time his
coal train passed to shy black dia-
mond at each scarecrow. Noting the
growing coal piles Miller construct
ed three additional scsrecrows in his
cornfield. His coal bin is rapidly
filling.

DOUGH MADE FROM 1919
WHEAT RAISES RAPIDLY

From available statistics, it WIS
cident that wheats grown throu h
cut the Northwest vary greatly from
year to year, even when taken. from
the same field. This variation in
cludes many important charactertis-
tics of the grain. but particularly
those relating to the breadmakine
quality of the flours from these
wheats.
For the past two years, oug Pa
cific Northwest wheats have been ex-
tremely high in gluten. Gluten is
the muscle and tissue-building
property OF the wheat, and is quite
similar in composition to the lean
or muscular tissue OF meat. This
year, due to climatic conditions af-
fecting the soil and the growing
grain, wheats carry considerably
more starch and proportionately less
gluten than during the two years
previous. AS a consequence, they
are more tender and the flour will
not stand as much fermentation or
raising" as the flour from last
Years wheat.
Bread-making specialists agree
that the average time for raising the
dough from a 1919 crop wheat
should be at least one hour shorter
than the time for raising the dough
from 1917 or 1918 crop wheat.
So far as bread results are con-
cerned, il is very much more prefer
able to have the bread rise less.
rather than the required amount.
1t is especially necessary to watch
the rising OF the dough in the pan,
and not allow it to attain its maxi
mum height before putting II in the
oven. Failure to observe these pre-
cautions is very likely to result in
bread OF grey color, which will lack
expansion in the oven, and in loaves
which will lack flavor and dry out
too rapidly.

MAGNESE MINING Is
A MONOPOLY AT TIFLIS

TIFLIS. via Paris-The constitu-
ent assembly Of the new republic of
Georgia, sitting as parliament has
declared the output OF maganese to
be a government monopoly. Private
concerns may hold and mine the
mineral. but the sale shall be made
solely through the government
treasury. This is declared to be the
most important financial step which
the new republic has made.
The assembly has levied new taxes
upon small tradesmen which have

ment.
