HOUSE THEY BUILT
REUN|TES COUPLE
After Many Separations Life
is Started Anew in First
Real Home.

BLOOMSBURG, Pa, Dec. 2I.-
After several separations. Mr.. and
Mrs. Jacob Swisher are again re-
united and although both are more
than fifty. they are starting life,
where they say, they should have
started it some thirty years ago
when they were married. They are
grandparents now, and have just
moved into the house they built with
their own hands, without expending
a cent for labor of any kind in its
construction.
Deciding during the summer that
il would he better fo.- them to live in
mutual accord. Swisher bought a lot.
and labOring at his trade of Carpen-
ter during the daytime, worked on
the house evenings. He dug the Gel
lar. laid the foundations and built
the house. Now their seven-room
building Is so nearly complete that
they can live in 1t. and the aged
couple agreed they were really
happy for the first time in their
lives.
"It seems too bad that all these
years should have been wasted" Mrs
Swisher said. when we might just
as well have been happy, but Jake
and somehow couldn't agree. Some
times he would talk about building a
house. and l would laugh at him
for I didn't think he could do it, and
then that would make him mad. But
we're sorry for those things now and
we'll try to make up for it in the
years we have left

Cotton Mart Steadier
In Featureless Trade

NEW YORK. Dec. 21.-There was
little feature 10 the trading in cot
ton today, but the market became
steadier. A number Of bullish mes
sages were in circulation regarding
the southern mill situation and the
position OF spot cotton was declared
to be vigorous. Predictions were
made. however. that a big area would
be planted next season. Trading in
the current December contracts end
ed at noon, and tomorrow Will be
first January notice day.
Following the first hour the tone
was easier. but after January had
sagged TO $3.50 the list became
steadier around midday. Liverpool
ended there, but the decline there
was counteracted by more cheerful
news generally. December went out
at 1855. The list finished steady
at a net loss Of points TO an ad-
vance of 5 points.

MARSH LAND RENTS
HIGH FOR TRAPPING
Tract of 280 Acres in Talbot
County Brings $500 for
Two Months.

3 EASTON, Nd. Dec. 21.-Aat pres
ent prices of farm products such
as wheat and corn. marsh lands in
Talbot county bordering on the
Choptank River, are more valuable
than land that is in cultivation.
There is a large acreage of
marsh land in Talbot county, which
is utterly useless for anything but
trapping purposes. These marshes
are rented out and bring to their
owners more clear money without
any expense to them than a thou
sand-acre farm brings.
For the first time in the history
of Talbot county. one of these
marshes, belonging to the Elliott
Brothers. containing $50 acres, was
sold at public auction sale in front
of the courthouse, Easton. and
the bidding for the privilege of
trapping on it was spirited, con-
sidering that the trapping season
only lasts two months and half,
beginning January /, and ending
March Is. after which time the
marsh reverts back to the owners
This marsh brought 5000 and the
purchasers were David Cohen, of
Boston: Joseph Watts and Homer
Whiteley, of Windy Hill.
Last year these same men paid
$500 for the marsh, and caught
$1,400 muskrats off it that netted
them s1.50 apiece for the hides. be-
sides what they got for the meat.
During the war, Mr.. Cohen cleared
$4,000 off this marsh from musk.
rat and other animal hides. The
trapping this season is expected to
be good as the marshes have not
been flooded by water to any great
extent and the rats have not been
drowned. Hides are bringing from

AGGIES READY FOR PIkERS
Bachman Machine to Face Washing
ton U. at st. Louis.


Manhattan. Kan, Oct. 1S.-When
the washington University Pikers
meet the Kansas Aggies at st. Louis
tomorrow they will find a team skilled
in aerial attack and with an offensive
that will require a Sherlock Holmes to
solve. Last Saturdays AZ to Q victory
over Washburn gave the Wildcats
self-confidence. This, combined with
their strong offensive. apparently will
make them strong bidders for the
Valley championship.
A comparison of the two elevens at
this early stage of the season -augurs
well for the .Aggies. Playing the Rolla
School of Mines last Saturday, Wash
ington was able to run up only a IA
to score. Rolla is considered some
what below the average of Kansas
conference teams, and when one re-
members the count piled up by the
Aggies over Washburn. one of the
strongest of Kansas teams, the odds
are in favor of Bachman's Wildcats.
Several Are Injured
While the Pikers have a number of
first string men on the hospital list,
several of whom, if reports are true
will not be on the field Saturday, only
a few Aggies are on the list and only
two or three of these are out of the
game for any length of time. No one
was seriously injured in the Wash
burn game. This tangle simply served

strong passing aggregation headed by
Brown, who is playing his first year
on the varsity, will still be in evidence.
Wildcats Are Speedy.
Altho the Wildcats may be lacking
more in beef than any team in the
valley, they largely make up for this
deficiency in speed and brain work.
The Bachman offensive, timed at just
the right moment, is almost certain to
result in good gains. Burton's open
field running can usually be counted
upon for substantial yardage. All

The site for the dormitory was paid
for by public subscription in Pitts

The dormitory will accommodate

While plans for the admission of
women students to the dorTnitory have
not been made, it is probable that ad-

been unable to agree as to a basis for
distribution of expense for elimination
of gradeecrossings. AFTER a prolonged
discussion of the expense problem the
state commission adjourned without
taking action.
Railroad representatives asked for
a fifty-fifty division of federal aio
where subways or vfaducts are re-
quired in elimination of grade cross
ings. Recently the government agreed
to allow half of the elimination ex-
pense and railroads made application
for allowances in distribution of ex-
pense. For the present the state COM
mission will probably place one-haIf
of the elimination expense on the fed
eral fund, 25 per cent on the county
and 26 per cent on the carrier.
