west of the Home Hotel, at Cakes,
next Wednesday, Oct. 22nd. The sale
will begin promptly at o'clock. The
consignors should have their stock
there the day before. especially II
their stock has not been tuberculin

pure bred stock sold or offered for
sale must have certificate of health
accompanying the registration pa
pers. = n.
So far as the stock offered at this
sale is concerned suffice it to say that
among the cattle there are some very
good individuals, any of them good
enough for farmer who is just start
ing to grade up his herd, and some of
them good enough to improve pure
bred herds. There are also. some very
good rams offered at this sale. They
are all Shropshires and will make
good crosses with western sheep. So
far as the hogs are concerned they
are very good individuals, showing
much scale and quality. We doubt
whether a better lot of hogs will be
offered this year at any other county
breeders sale. -.

Another. Witness Speaks

Judge Burt Joy Humphrey, of the
Queens County, N. Y, in writing his
acceptance of the craftsmanship of
the New York State Sunday School
Association drive, that is going on
now, writes letter that ought to be
blazoned in letters of gold from ev-
cry home, school, or other building,
that it might be seen and it's deep
significance appreciated by all who
pass.
Judge Humphrey writes to Mr..

to it's quickening spiritual influence,

insurance of inestimable worth.
Our crime is almost wholly COM

school does not reach. Seventy per
cent of it is committed by young men
under twenty-five, and Of the thou
sands Of cases before me during the
past sixteen years, there has been
only one who was actively associated
with Sunday school, That (which
enlarges the work Of this great insti-

the enterprise.
Very sincerely yours,

ROMANTIC AIR TRIP
HAS LOCAL INTEREST

The evening newspapers OF last
Saturday carried the following AssO-
ciated Press story under Conncls-
Vile, Pa. date:
Pretty and well sowncd in the
latest mode. with diamonds sparkling
from ears, neck and fingers, Miss
Mabel Fischwick, said to reside in
Cincinnati. Ohio was Il stowaway on
the passenger airpane piloted by Al
fred Lawson of Washington, ID. c.,
when he landed here tonight, forced
to descend by head winds According
to the story told by other of the lin
er's passengers, Miss Fischwick had
been visiting relatives in Washing
ton Before the plane left Washing
ton she climbed aboard and hid
among the baggage in the cabin.
Shortly after the liner started the
stowaway was found and turned
over Ito Pilot Lawson for "sent enca."
On arriving in this city, after land
ing in a corn field nearby, Pilot Law
son introduced Miss Fischwick to
newspaper men as "my stowaway"
Demurcly she finally told how she
had boarded the liner and declared
that her only desire was to "try
ride in the air" She smilingly said
"they couldn't put me off up there,
and ! didn't think they would take
the trouble to land just for the pur-
pose of throwing me Off"
The pretty stowaway is said to be
the daughter of wealthy Cincinnati
family. g.
The above has more than passing
interest for many Milford residents
for Miss Fischwick was bridesmaid
for Miss Corona Blaisdell, when. she
married 1t Otto Bcicrsdorf, in Wash

Beiersdorf before and after the mar

for patriotic reasons. Her parents
and other of her immediate relatives
are well to do and reside in Cinc'a-

rather amused when they discovered
