Two fine buck deer were shot in the
open zone surrounding the Chaplin and
Freeborn orchards in East Pittsford
last week, Arthur Smith killing them
both. They were the first deer killed in
open zones for nearly month, the
last one being shot in the zone about
the STAFFORD orchard in South Wal

farm in Dandy. The deer, with several
others, had done considerable damage
to Mr.. Longs oat crop. When he shot
the deer, there were six others in the
came field.

NEW METHODS

TOXIC. Dec, l0- A method where by iron may be smelted from volcan- ic iron oxide sand, heretofore regard ed as wholly refractory has been re- ported by scientific experimentors working for the War Department. While the discovery cannot be employ. ed as yet commercially, the cost of the iron 50 obtained being too high to com pete with iron smelted from ore, the value of the process to Japan from a military standpoint is said to be great in-as-much as it places this country in an independent position so far as it's supply of steel for military and nav- al uses is concerned.
 Japan, like every other volcanic country, is rich in deposits of iron OK ities. A statement of the war office yesterday says:
 "The recurrent anti-Japanese move ments in different parts of the Chinese Republic that have been pronounced since the peace conference at Paris. demand of the Japanese government very effort for the discovery of some means to ensure a steel supply ade- quate enough for domestic consump- tion, in anticipation of a possible fu- ture suspension of iron imports. The experiments of a year have chiefly with the military necessity in view and also with the object of making up the existing shortage in the iron sup plies. The process discovered, there fore, does not necessarily ensure econ omic advantages, while the success is limited to that stage of producing iron-sand blocks which may with ad- vantage be blended with the ordinary pig iron in producink steel" \.

l CTS Aid society. A wire was re. ceived late yesterday from the San Francisco office of the society read "We are authorized by I. s. Alex ander to take charge of all effects of Peter Vidovich."
 Another wire indicating the finan- cial importance of the "penniless patient came to the Guaranty Trust company from its San Francisco cor respondents, reading:
 Peter Vidovich is one of our most valued clients"
 Making the story even more dra- matic, this provision was found in the will of old Peter:
 "I hereby will and bequeath to each poor person in the town of Risan, Austria" Git is now Serbia) GOT each poor family being sup ported by the Church of St. Peter the sum of twenty-five dollars" Legacies to Mary Relatives The church of St. Luke, Risan, gets s2,000 and 5000 goes to the towns public school fund. Twenty or thirty relatives (chiefly brothers and sisters nephews and nieces) in San Fran cisco and Serbia receive sums rang ing up to $S.O00 apiece.
 The public administrator yesterday placed the old mans effects in a box at the Park National bank. Before turning the property over to the ex- ecutor, the administrator will consult with the state comptroller to see if New York State is entitled to an in- leritance tax.
 And old Peter, it is certain will be buried in 8 style befitting man who }arried sl26,000 in his pockets.

Young fellows who have reached the age when sentiment and the desire fo, companionship (of the opposite sex) are predominant. Many of the memb- CTS have reached the age when men marry. All of them are men who sec retly cherish the picture of some girl whom they would like to call "my wife,. This is Leap Year and will con- tinue to be for twenty more days. The dance has been arranged by the memb. ITS of the Malamute Club as a sort of Last Chance affair. Nuff said. Every body is invited tomorrow night.

Met man last night with his wife Both of them were loaded down with
 parcels and packages and bundles.
 They had been doing their Christmas shopping, doing it early and doing it with the merchants of Seward. They
 told me that prior to this year most of their Christmas shopping had been done through the medium of cata- log with outside firms More than s2O0.00 worth of money orders had been sent out for different things. Groceries, stockings, dress goods, a coat, a hat, shoes and other articles had been bought by mail because they thought that by so doing they were really saving money. They subscribe for the Gateway. They read what is published every day. The recent artic- le based on fact, about the mail order business started them thinking. From thinking they went to investigating and comparing. They read the adver- tisements of the Seward merchants in the Gateway and last evening both of them started out and visited every merchant who adveftises in the Gate way. In every store they made a pur- chase. In every store they found what they were looking for at prices IS rea. sonable aa those in ths mail order ca- taios and in many easas they were iab. le to save oa ths pries aai st IL

 You will learn when. . merchant ad- vertises his wares in your home town that the things he adSertises are. just they are represented. The reputation of themsrchant h behind the sooda he offers to4ssll you. The fife of his busi- ness depends upon the quality of the

You will dis cover that their price and the price quoted by the mail order houses are identical where quality is concerned and when you spend your money with your home merchant he will not ask you to pay for stamps, for money or .le. chai .cs and then take your money and deliver to you the article pur- chased sixty days after you have giv- en him the money.

 TOOTHPICK

About one moatA ago there was a little girl in Seward who was continu. ally complaining about having . head- ache. Her parents thought that these headaches were caused by something the girl had eaten. Sick headaches caused by disarranged stomach. They doctored her accordingly. Doses of this and that medicine were given, many dollars worth, but notwithstanh- ing the little girl still continued to complain about her head. Her parents became worried as the headaches be- came more frequent. One day the mo- ther was talking to another mother about her child. She spoke of the headaches. The other moter suggested tat they might be caused by the childs eyes. Miss Wilson, Stewards efficient optician was consulted. The childs' eyes were tested. Glasses were fitted with the result that today the child is never bothered with headaches. Don't neglect the childrens' eyes. They may be the means of preventing perma- nent injury to the undeveloped eyes. when the children's legs get tired they sit or lie down. when their hands be- come tired they cease doing that which makes them tired, but their eyes are under a continual strain. The salne applies to us grown ups. Don't squint, suffer with headaches, let your eyes get inflamed or get sore when all you need is a properly fitted pair of glass es. Miss Wilson understands eyes and their care. Consult her if your eyes need attention. Consult her if you think the childrens' eyes need atten- ton. Do it now.
