MADE THEIR WAY TO FAVOR
Words Banned Fifty Years Ago Are
Now by General Consent Reeog-
nIzed as Proper.

Most newspapers have an index ex-
purgatOrlOus in which are listed all
the tempting words banned at the
time of its compilation as to bad
usage, remarks a writer In the Home
Sector. 1t is amusing to read one Of
those lists, drawn up for a New York
newspaper 90 years ago. a long dis
carded list, frOwning on such words
as aspirant, bogus cOllided, COM
menced (for begun. employee, endorse
(fOr approvaD, humbug, ignore, jeOp-
ardize, lengthy, loafer, ovation, post
ed (for infOrmed), predicate, progress
ing, reliable (fOr trustworthy, row.
dies, taboo, talented and vicinity (fOr
neighbOrhOOd). Most Of these are now
quite respectable and would have the
freedom even Of those newspapers
which once spurned them. Thus, as
ever, do the heresies Of today become
the gospel Of tomorrow. Thus does
progress march.
1t happens in Language, In econ0-
mics, In politics. Tomorrow cOnserva-
tives will be found stOutly defending
the program which yesterdays radicals
drew up. Perhaps an appreciation Of
this fact ought to produce philO-
sophie calm, but 1t Is quite as likely to
produce temper. And yet 1t Is absurd
to swear at the conservative man as
1t is to denounce the dam in the stream
and the brake on the engine.

VA NE summer morning over two
centuries ago the grass plot be

was occupied by many Of the lnhabi.
tants of Boston. The door opened and
B the town beadle appeared followed by
a young woman carrying baby about
three months old. On the breast Of
her gown, In red cloth, appeared the
letter A, and 1t was that scarlet letter
which drew all eyes toward her.

Hester's attention, and he In his turn
eyed her till, seeing that she seemed
to recognize him, he laid his finger on
kIhis lips.
Then, speaking to a townsman he
said, II pray you, good sir who is this

PuTNA McouNTY PIG CLUB CON-
TEST

The community pig club contest al
Holiday in Putnam County was held
September 10 and IL. This club was
organized last spring by county
agent W. G. Adsmond of Cookevflle
and on May %. seven boys purchased
purebred Duroc gifts thru the banks
of the county. These gifts were 10
to IL weeks old and weighed an av-
erage of So pounds each
The feeding contest began at once
and lasted Ill days or until the day
before the show was to be held. It
was their first attempt at feeding and
caring for purebred pigs but the
boys followed county agents instruc-
lions to the best of their ability.
Everyone was interested to know
what the final weights would be when
the pigs were entered at the show.
Many went above 200 pounds and the
average weight was 1877 pounds. The
average net gain was 1874 pounds in
Ill days or IL pounds daily
The cost of putting on this in
crease in weight was 13 cents a
pound which is slightly less than
market prices for pork. It should be
however, that all Of
these gifts are purebred and will be
used as breeding stock.
This work was donesin spite of the
fact that some few "old fogies" in the
community did all they could to dis
courage it. The club boys are deter
mined to go ahead attending to their
animals and show them at the county
contest in October.

Of those lights Oh at once?' On being
told man at the electric light. plant

who turns on all the lights in the
sky? Grandma told her God did that.
Noticing that, the new moon was tilted

;: Thermometers Vary

: The. readings of old. mercury ther-
mometers are often too high, while
spirit thermometers with age, are Ii
able to. give indications lower: than the
actual temperatures. Shrnkage of
the bulb, forcing the mercury up the
tube. has been suggested as the cause
Of the high readings. For the op-
posite effect, : several theories s.have
been offered-such as taking up some
Of the spirit in an invisible film Wet
ting the bore of the tube, or chemical
combination of the spirit with the
glass or evaporation through invisible
cracls-but it is now believed that an
explanation simpler than the early
ones is available. Mercury thermo1n-
eters sealed off when almost filled,
contain practically, no air, the tubes
thus being given the reduced internal
pressure favoring shrinkage. But
spirit thermometers are sealed with
the bulbs in q freezing mixture, so
that they may contain as much air
as possible, and such bulbs are con-
stantly subjected to an internal pres
sure: greater than outside. This. gives
the tendency to expand. allowing the
spirit to fall too low in the. tube.

This HaIf-poIIar Bare.

Ever since the news that q silver
Ilalf-dollar Of 1853 brought $2,500.Was
published throughout the country q
few years ago, there has been a great
er misconception as to this coin than
any other ever struck by the United
States mirlts. This arises from the
fact that there are two kinds Of half
dollars of 1858. The rare varietY=has
no arrows at the dates and there is no
Sunburst on it's reverse.
Only two specimens Of this coifSa are
known to be in existence. Half#doI-
lars of 1853 with arrows at date**ald,
sunbursts on the reverses are very 5nli-
merous, however, and they have#fre-i
guently dashed the hopes of holders
who were unfamiliar with the dis
tinction between the two varieties OF
the coin.
