PROOF THAT STONE GROWS

Memory of Settlers.

On the farm OF Mr.. James Cham
pion, known as the old home place Of
his father, John Champion. boys used
TO meet years ago with the elder
Champion, and often tossed round
stone, ball fashion, one to another.
The same stone now lies n the yard.
at the old place, and men now in their
eighties often speak Of this rock and
identify it as the stone they used to
toss about to each other.
Today it will weigh about 800 pound
and lies near the spot where 1t has
lain for nearly q century. Some Of the
most substantial old men of Mercer
county who are now living. will vouch
that this rock has grown from a small
stone TO its present size since their
babyhood days.-Wilmore (Calif.) En-

yields have been obtained, better pigs

have taken and are taking college

Soon To Start Instruction
In Boys Club Work; Folks Of
Millersville For School Loan

Organization of boys clubs has gone
ahead this week with amazing rapid
ity. The Arnold School. Friendship
School, and Bristol School, were visit
ed and a keen interest was manifested
by all the boys in the work.
Work of instruction will start dur
ing October, and 1t is hoped that every
boy who enrolls will have the backing
and cooperation of his parents in
their projects The owensville Boys
Club held the first meeting of their
second year as club with as much
pep" and enthusiasm as they dis
played year ago. The boys who
made the trip to Timonium have in
spired the others in their club TO do
better work this coming year. These
boys are also planning TO start in with
pure bred pigs as their demonstration
this year, and besides this. they also
plan to put in one aero of corn, the
grain to be fed later to the pure bred
animals. There is nothing better for
these coming young farmers than
these demonstrations. and the County
Agent will take up with pure bred pig
men of the county the advisability of
fostering this club work and by urg-
ing them to let the boys have first
class registered pigs next spring at a
nominal cost. The lads will finance
their propositions themselves, and to
say the least, this is very much better
than has been done in other counties,
where it was necessary for the banks
TO come to their assistance. The
agent has received a small supply OF
badges, which will be AWARDED to the
boys who carry out successfully their
| nrniarfs
