 William Brown is one of the farm CTS who almost always has a useful and dependable yoke of oxen for heavy work
 It is always gratifying to have the first Sunday in the month a fine sunny day, conductive to church going, as was proven by the large number who were interested listeners to the Gospel sermon of Rev. MT. Allen, from the words And they followed Him." the subject being"The drawing power of Jesus." The solo "I shall know Him" was appropriate and comforting. Mrs. Hansen presided at the organ during the service, and with the pastor to lead, the congregation follows him" and joins in the worship of song.
 Mrs. Jordon Snedicor, who has pass ed the last half year at Hillside, re- turned on Monday to her home in Brooklyn, N. Y. She will be greatly missed, at church where she has at tended every Sunday of her sojourn here and in all phases of the com munity life her cheerful, agreeable, pleasing. personality is as abundant as the sunshine. That she is planning to return for Christmas is a pleasant anticipation. -- ---
 The little daughter of Mr. and Mrs. McBee of Adams, Mass, born October 28, is named Sally, and if not for, is after her great, great grandmother, Mrs. Sally Ryder Holt of the Colonian stock, who was known as Aunt Sally and beloved by the entire community as was often related by the older peo- pie of a generation ago. In the years to come without much doubt this little Sally, and we trust her descendants, will visit with pride the monument of Sally the first in the old Hill cemetery where the ancestors of hosts lie if not in neglected, yet in uncared for family plots; something to think about.

Water Cause Of eoiter.

Goiter is epidemic in important
zones of South America, especially the
Andes region and certain mountain
Gus territory in tropical South Amer
lea.
Up to the present no Investigations
had been made of the water from
goiter-infested regions; but recently
Houssay has succeeded in producing
experimental goiter in white rats after
feeding them with water from the
province of Salta. These investiga-
lions should be repeated on a large
scale on account Of their great theO-
retical and practical importance They
tend to confirm the theory that water
is one Of the transmitting agencies Of
goiter.

A ElYino Chariot.

All Paris, l think, myself
among the rest, assembled to see the
valiant brothers, Robert and Charles,
mount into the air yesterday, in COM
pany with a certain Pilatre de Roster,
who conducted them in the newly-in'
vented flying chariot fastened to an
air-balloon. 1t was from the middle
of the Tuilleries that they set out,
place. very favorable and well-con-
trived for such public purposes. But
all was so nicely managed, so cleverly
carried on, somehow, that the order
and decorum of us who remained on
firm ground struck me more than even
the very strange sight Of human crea-
lures floating in the wind; buS /
have really been witness to, ten times
as much hustle and confusion at Il
crowded theater in London, than what
these peaceful Parisians make when
the whole city was gathered together.

The Split Innnitive.

An ininitiye is said to be split when
an adverb or adverbial phrase is in.
serted between to- and the infnitive,
as ''tO readily see;;" this construction
is not considered good English. AS a
sign of the possessive, "of'' may be the
equivalent of the apostrophe IS" or it
may be used with the apostrophe ."sp
in a somewhat different meaning, thus /:
A saying Of Wilson might mean "a
saying about Wilson," while "a say
ing of Wilson's" would be "one Of
Wilson's sayings" said by Wilson him
self. You could say '"This is a hat Of
my fathers" meaning one out Of his
numerous hats. The English language
avoids the use Of the genitive sign ''of'
whenever possible, preferring th6.apos-
trophe with 49," my fathers hat"

LITTLE STORY Try. CARRIED STING
Must Have Shown to Readers the
Neglected Industrial Possibilities
OF the South.

D. A. Tompkins, the father Of the
cotton-oil industry, who built his for
tune on his inextinguishable faith In
the industrial possibilities Of the
South, was fond of quoting this little
story about Georgia funeral, says his
biographer, DIR. George Tayloe Win
ston. In "a Builder of the New
South"
II attended a funeral once in PICK
ems county, Georgia. It was n poor,
'one-gallus' fellow. They buried him
In the midst of a marble quarry; they
cut through solid marble to make his
grave, and yet little tombstone they
put above him was from Vermont.
They buried him in the heart OF a
pine forest, and the pine coffin was
imported from Cincinnati. They bur-
led him within touch Of an iron
mine, and yet the nails OF his conn
and the iron In the shovel that dug
his grave were imported from Pitts
burgh. They buried him by the side
of the best safeguarding country on
earth, and yet the wool In the coffin
bands and the coffin bands themselves
were imported from the North. The
South did not furnish thing on earth
for that funeral but the corpse ana
the hole In the ground. There they
put him away and the clods ratified
down ON his coffin and they buried him
i Vattfls
Of shoes and pair of breaches from
Chicago and a shirt from Cincinnati,
leaving him nothing to carry into the
next world with him to remind him
Of the country in which he lived and
for which he fought four years but
the chill blood in his veins and the
marrow in his bones"

WORLDS DEBT TO cHINAMAN
Celestial Is Directly Responsible FOR
Improvement In the Breeding OF
American Porkers.

The economic genius who figured
out that all that was needed to bring
unbounded prosperity to the cotton
mills of New England was to add half
an inch to each Chinaman's shirt tail
never carried out his project, but the
Chinaman. without announcing his
plan, has done something quite as re-
markable: He has added inches to
the legs Of the American pig.
He has not done it alone. He has
had help from the East and West In
dies and from our own farmers in the
South. The process was simple and
was just another instance of great
industry altering itself almost uncon-
sciously to meet new conditions, the
Nations Business states.
Not many years ago the prizes sof
the pig world went to2the round, short
legged type, the kind of hog that YOU
couldn't see under. The chief purpose
in the life of that hog was to turn
corn into lard. Now it's the pig type
that is popular, the pig that makes
more lean meat, more bacon and more
ham.
What has done it? For one thing
the Chinaman and his soy beam coco
nut, corn, cottonseed and peanut are
furnishing vast amount of lard sub
stitUtes at prices lower than the pig
can supply his product So the four
legged lard factory is turning to the
ham business and the .Chinaman, his
shirt tail unlengthened, has added to
the legs of the American hog.
