Market Requirements.
Most of the milk sold in towns and
cities Is subject to certain require
ments as to quality, among which
are standards for the butterfat and
milk solids. For large percentage
of the milk, payment is based upon
quantity or weight, without special
reference to any butterfat content
above the legal standard. Local re-
quirements differ greatly as to the
butterfat and solids content, but the
standard of the United States Depart
ment Of Agriculture for use in inter.
state commerce Of 1926 per cent butter
fat and S.5 per cent solids not fat Is
a fair example Of the quality of milk
required. Many cheese factories and
also some cOndensaries buy the mill
on the weight basis, provided a Ger
tain minimum standard is reached

"ioure staying with us while you're
here, Ell. Come along now-Lucy1l
give you raspberry shOrtcake with
thick cream-you know / married
Lucy Bee" he reminded the prodigal
son Of Rosedale as they walked down
the street.
Lucy Bel remember-sweetest
girl in notwithstanding one," said
Ed, reminiscently.
A light came into Jeremiah's ddll
brown eyes. 1t was the greatest mo-
ment of his life for the instant his
hand was on the wheel of destiny.
"Hark," he said, inclining his sandy
head.
They both stopped short and lis
tened. Through the mellow evening
air came the fluting song Of a robin
the soft, high "tweeeeeeet" of swal-
lows dipping in the golden highland
the clinking sound Of metal against
stone.
Whats that?" asked Ed, curiously.
Cow bells?"
That's Oscar Plumb chippin' a
tombstun-yOu remember Oscar?"
"Yes; l remember-who's deadY'
Hes a chippin' stone for Susie
Ricketts,
Jerry" Ed Finney gripped the 9TH
er's arm, and this time Jeremiah kept
perfectly still.
1T surprised me, too" said Jere-
miah.
In the silence the robin sang to its
mate and the swallows dipped in pools
of sunshine. When Ed spoke his voice
was strained. "Jerry, came home to
marry her--we quarreled two years
ago and went off was q crazy loon
in those days, but I've learned lot
and one thing is that she Is the best
girl in the woodland it breaks my
heart that I've got to go back West
without her"
Jerry nodded. "She's had tough
time Of it, but CHEEKY as little wren
Lucy and l know how good she can be
and almost everybody says the same
you really want to marry her, Ed?"
Ed nodded CURLY. His gray eyes
were tragic--he wore the look of
man who has followed Joy over hills
and mountains and through deep val
leys and has lost sight of her forever.
"Come along" said jeremiah. 1--WE
got to pass the house."
They passed the coy little house
and came to the orchard, where Oscar
Plumb was showing the half complet-
ed work to Susan ricketts,, who dimpled
and sparkled in the sunset glow like
the flashing swallows with their glints
or sooty black-that was her hair;
warm brOwn-her eyes and deep blue
her pretty cotton dress.
Oscar saw them and called over,
Here, Jeremiah, Susie wants me to
put 'spinster' under Susan Rick
cts and I tell her there's a plenty
time yet to get married-cricky-Ed,
how be yer"
BEAT It'll" commanded Mr.. Finney,
as he leaped the fence like a school
boy and gathered the astOnished SUI
sic ricketts, into his arms.
Oscar picked up a few tools and
fed through the back way, casting one
backward glance, that caused him to
chuckle delightedly. But Jeremiah.

feeling that the wheel of Destiny had
been wrested from his grip by the efIi-

"And he looked at her and she

Lucy" he finished softly. "Under-

Little Lucy blushed and nodded and

ing and much was accomplished.

Grimes sea scout master, Gala.
CHER, radio officer. Another meet
ing will be held next Tuesday
evening. AT this time the deck oil
the ship will be laid Off and the
byos will be assigned their duties.
Tuesday has been chosen as their
regular meeting night. 1t was plan
ned to erect wireless set In the
Scout headquarters but because OF
the telephone office directly
across the street generating so
much current 1t was thought that
there would be too much interior
ence.
Troop Three also met yesterday
evening at the Scout Headquarters
with the following officers pres
ent Scout Master 0dell Evans AS
sistant Scout master William Nivin
Senior Patrol Leader Richard
Trip. and Scout Scribe Joseph
Fletcher. All OF these boys are
planning II possible to go TO the
Scout camp for the first period.
Applications for the camp are
coming In very fast now and indi-
cations are that the camp will
work at capacity during the two
periods. Tate announced that all
who wish to go to camp must get
their applications in by next Tues.
day. All the equipment is ready
now for the camp and the only
thing yet to be purchased is the
supplies. These will not be pur-
chased until 1t is known Just how
many boys will attend the camp.
Scout Executive Tate is anxious
that the parents OF Fairmont know
that the National Scout Council re.
quires all Scout camps to come up
to certain requirements such as the
camp site. the water supply drain
age swimming and food supply. All
these requirements are for the
safety Of the boys and Camp Flem-
Ing fulfills all Of them The Ma
tional Council also requires that
the camp have an adult leader for
every 10 boys. These men must all
be over twenty-one years OF age.
The Scout camp has just such
leaders and they are the best to be
had in their line. There will be
doctor in camp all the time. Those
doctors In the city who wish to go
are getting together and framing
a schedule as to when each will be
there. A complete safety first
equipment has been purchased
with tools and medicine to doctor
snake bite and Tate wishes to as
sure the paEents that their boys
will be as safe as IL they were at
home.

ant, w Va. submitted an amended
declaration which was admitted by
the court. No Other process than
the original one was ever issued or
served on the defendant, who then
raised the claim that another sum

and asked for the Dismissal of the
suit on those grounds. The motion
was argued before Judge Meredith
last March. The decision handed
down this morning means that the
case will come up for trial at the
next term Of court.
The suit was brought for S10,.

IRIR0NBRIDGE.
New Sidewalks Will Be
Relaid AS Soon As Ap-
proach Is Completed

Work on the erection Of the west
side approach Of the old city Iron
bridge across the Monongahelk
river Is progressing nicely. Quite
a lot Of structural steel work was
placed in position yesterday. Prob
ably ten steel beams were placed at
10 point directly above the B & o
tracks and the sides we're also plac-
ed. or course there Is a great deal
OF work yet 10 be done.
W. q. Arnett, city commissioner
OF streets today said that two car.
loads of cinders were ordered and
would soon be spread on the street
near the bridge approach in order
to leve loft the grade coused by the
two foot raise on the bridge over
It's former street level.
Bids have been advertised by the
city for 1900 feet OF 1-2 inch oak
floor boards and 5000 feet OF stream
eCs 2x6 feet. Just as soon as the
street proper is completed at the
west approach the city will start to
repair the sidewalks on the north
and south sides Of the bridge. The
roadway was blocked several years
ago by the city and is in good con.
ditlon. With new boardwalks and
a coat OF paint over the structural
iron work, people In a position to
know say the bridge will be In good
condition.
This sets at rest the much spread
rumor that the city had intended 10
abandon the bridge within a few
years. The work of placing Nc
boardwalk in proper condition will
be under the direction Of the street
commissioner himself, no contract to
be let for the same.
