Editor Chief:
Crimes Which the Law Cannot
Reach" such was the title Of an old
book which the writer found many
years ago while searching around in
an old farm house for something to
teadoon long, lonesome' day in the
country. | have never seen another
copy of this book and do not re,nem-
Der who wrote it,but there should be
d new edition published and copies
handed out free to all gossipers. In
tf1ls book several suicides and many
other terrible things were traced back
to malicious village gossip. But,
alas! in real life it is often impossible
to trace back to these idle and pc hi
cious people the heart-burning, the
quarrels and the whole galaxy of evils
their tongues engender. A person
must have passed through life very
u1lobservantly indeed if he fails to
see that a man or woman is very
much himself what he thinks Of
Others. So while the gossipers are
50 busy wagging their tongues at
their neighbors and putting the worse
constructions on their actions it
would be well for them to pause and
reflect that they are exposing them-
selves to every thinking person.

Freaks of Lightning

Killed by lightning while standing
under tree during storm, it was
found, on medical examination that
the victims body was marked with
the imprint of the tree Such a freak
is not uncommon. The markings on
the skin are reddish brown in color,
and resemble Photographic imprints
of trees or shrubs. Lightning, how
ever, plays many strange tricks. A
girl was once crossing meadow dur
ing thunderstorm when she was
struck by lightning. Although every
shred of clothing was torn from her,
she herself merely experienced slight
giddiness. In another extraordinary
case a man was killed by lightning
while riding a horse through storm,
but the animal was untouched and
unalarmed, and carried his dead mas
ter home at a gentle trot.

CorkS as Shoppers

The ancients kept their wines in
casks, and it was drawn off as wanted.
When bottles first came into use q
primitive material used as shoppers
consisted of the root of liquorice,
which was cut and formed to the shape
of corks. The roots are still often used
in this country for the making of bottle
shoppers, and it was not until the
manufacture of glassware became gen.
eral that the practice arose of storing
wine in bottles, and then the value OF
cork as stopper for bottles became
generally acknowledged. Then came
the saying THE wine is corked"-
meaning it tasted of the cork. Imper-
vious to air and water is a rare quality
which cork possesses over any other
known material, and it conveys no dis.
agreeable taste or favor to the liquid.

Owners OF Dogs
Are Given Warning

1t is reported that number of the
delinquent dog owners prosecuted for
violating the provisions of the Dog
Law of 1917, have failed to carry out
the warning issued by the committing
magistrates at the time the prosecu
tons were adjudicated, and are open
ly defying the law.
Inasmuch as these were first Of
fenses," the suggestion of committing
magistrates was to be lenient with the
defendants, and caution them to in
mediately secure their licenses or dis
pose of their dogs and the imposition
of light penalties
1t is apparent that this method Of
disposing of these prosecutions had
not been appreciated by the defend
ants who are charged with owning
and harboring dogs in violation of this
law. Where this leniency is abused,
and the warnings of magistrates ig-
nored, these defendants are liable to
additional prosecutions when maxi
mum penalties will be recommended,
which are 500 fine or three months
Imprisonment at the discretion of the
court.
The dog must be kept under proper
control at all times. Failure to carry
out this provision means loss and an
noyance to both the owners of live
stock and the owners of dogs.

himself with it. DR.. Weston D. Bayley,
specialist in the medical aspects Of
psychology, was keenly interested.
He wrote long reports of seances
for his journal which seemed out of

tilizers is IL per cent of total plant
food, including either nitrogen, or
phosphoric acid or potash, separately
or in combination. The spring inspec-
ton of the Pennsylvania Bureau of
Chemistry indicates that the proper
ton of high-grade fertilizers on sale
in the State has greatly increased ovec
the low-grade brands.
The unsuccessful farmer is the one
who purchases the grade ferti-
lizers, because the product is cheaper
and then applies from 100 to 200
pounds to the acre. Plants do not
have the power to walk around the
farm seeking food and on such an in
sufficient diet they do not thrive. In
some of the successful potato, onion
and tobacco districts of the State as
high as 1900 pounds of high-grade fer
tilizer are used to the acre and the re-
suits obtained fully justify the expendi-
ture.
What Makes the Peaches Wormy
Did you ever split peach open and
find worm curled up close to the pit
and wonder how it came to be there?
That worm is the larva of the snout
beetle, a little dark colored beetle
about one-fifth of an inch long with a
snout that is half as long, that is used
for digging holes in the fruit in which
the eggs are laid. The plum curculio
! is it's proper name, and it infests
, peaches, plums, cherries and apples
in our fruit gardens and some wild
plants.
1t is too late now to stop this years
damage, but get ready for next year.
Keep all ground in orchard clean cult
waited until August LIST. That will
break up the cells in which the worms
transform to adults, so lessening the
number to emerge next year.
The Bureau of Plant Industry, Penn
sylvania Department of Agriculture,
Harrisburg, will gladly send spraying
schedules to tell when to spray tC
catch those not killed by cultivation.

Protect Tomato Plants; Vegetable &
Household Standby

Household Standby
With Pennsylvania acreage of to.
matoes smaller than usual this year.
on account of the shortage of farm
labor, the Bureau of Plant Industry,
Department of Agriculture, warns the
growers of the State, both commercial
and the small truck gardner to pro-
tect the tomato plants against de-
structive diseases. There are several
diseases which attack the tomato plant
and these can be largely overcome by
spraying the plants at intervals Of ten
days or two weeks, with bordeaux
mixture
The growth of the tomato appetite,
not only in Philadelphia, but the entir;
United States, is one of the romances
of the dinner table. Up until 1880 the
tomato was believed to be poisonous.
although the plants were grown for
ornamental purposes and the tomato
was known as the ''love apple" About
$50 the vegetable was first eaten, but
it was not until after the Civil War
that it set out upon it's conquest which
has placed it in one form or another,
on nearly every dinner table in Amer
lea The tomato is of South American
origin and is member of the Solan-
ceae family, of which the poisonous
belladonna, to the tobacco and the pc
tato are also members. The first to.
matoes grown in this country were
little larger than cherries and only
through the application of science has
the vegetable reached its present high
