Apple Premiums-A Correction

Under class Z in the Premium Sch
edule of the Somerset Central Agri-
cultural Society in the division of
farm and garden products there is a
confusion in regard to the gratuity Of
fered on apples. The book should
have stated that gratuity of two dol
lars would be paid on exhibit which,
tho not being awarded a prize, should
be regarded as worthy of such gratu-
ity. The Society reserves the right
to limit these gratuities to six dol
lars to any one exhibitor. These
gratuities will not be granted to any
exhibitor who has won five dollars
or more on apples.

with the local tax rate of S3S50 on

Brentanos announces for early
publication a work by Bernard
Shaw; one which will interest BIZ
ologists, religious leaders and low
ers OF the marvellous In fiction as
well as lovers of the theater. 1t Is
the authors scientific, religious and
political testament as well as an
exploit in dramatic literature. In
form 1t Is a play In Ave acts: but
every act iS a complete play in it
self. thus following the precedent of
Wagners Nibelung tetralogy, ex-
cept that the whole drama is a
pentalogy. The first play OF the set
is entitled In the Beginning" the
action taking place in the Garden
OF Eden and partly after the Ex-
pulsion. The second play is of the
present day and is called The
Gospel OF the Brothers Barnabas."
In 1t a religious leader, and his
brother, a man OF science, receive
an electioneering visit from two
well-known statesmen. and meet
them with the astonishing PROPOSE
ton that nothing can save civiliza-
ton but 4 prolongacion OF human
life to antediluvian proportions. The
third play, entitled The Thing
Happens" deals with the discovery.
three hundred years hence, OF GER
tain persons who are uicentena-
rians srviving from our own time.
This Is followed by the Tragedy OF
an Elderly Gentleman" the period
being a thousand years hence. 1t
exhibits a phase in which the Brit
ish Islands are inhabited eXclu-
sively by persons who live three
hundred years. They are venerated
and consulted as oracles by the
Eastern Empire of Britain, with
Baghdad as its center. Finally.
comes a play which takes place in
the year 31.920 A. D. entitled AS
Far as Thought Can Reach" The
pentalogy as whole is called
Back TO Methuselah."
