Last Wednesday, Good Roads Day was observed by about a dozen of our people who repaired some places on the State Road from Zack Mcllheny's to Harvey Clevenger's. Martin Laidig and J as. Lyon furnished teams to do the hauling. Wm. J. Shaw, our mail carrier is happy over the arrival of boy number three, and he scarcely touches the high places on his route these days. George and Ross King nave put up some good yard fence the pastew days thus, further im proving th(ar properties. James Lyon, David Hershey, and Alex Edwards, have put up g:od line fences this spring. Frank Price who has employ ment at Miner sville is home for a few days. Sherman Amick, of Wells Tan nery, has began huckstering through this vicinity. Owing to the rain on Sunday, there was no preaching nor Sun day school at Fairview that day. ENID. Mr. Wells Duvall aud Miss Vic toria Markley, of Altoona, and Mrs. George Gearinger and sod, of Coaldale, attended the funeral of their aunt Lira. Elizabeth M. Woodcock last Saturday.

Miss Bessie Foster, of Coal dale, spent the last of the week with her aunt Mrs. Charles Schenck. Owing to the bad wea'her last Saturday, the Memorial day ser vices were postponed until Mon day. Miss Marian Edwards of Defi ance spent the week end at her home. Mrs. Cooke Foster and two children ot Round Knob, are spending a few days with rela tives in the Valley. Mr. and Mrs. Claries Gray, of Altoona, have been visaing the Litter's parents Mr. and Mrs Thnrton Foster. OLDER BUT STRONGER To be healthy at seventy, prepare" at forty, is sound advice, because its the strength of middle life we too often forget that neglected colds, or careless treat ment of slight aches and pains, simply undermine strength and bring chronic weakness for later years. To be stronger when older, keep your blood pure and rich and active with the strength-building and blood-nourithing properties of Scott's Emulsion which is a food, a tonic and a medicine to keep your blood rich, alleviate rheumatism aud avoid sickness. No alcohol in Scott's. Scut! & Bowae, Bloomfidd, K, J. "On The Wing." As noted in these columns last week, N. H. Peck, of Needmore, left for an extended trip among his western relatives and other friends. After spending a night in Pittsburgh, a day in Ambridge, and a night at Warren, 0., he stopped-ofT to visit his nephew Ira L. Peck, a Btudent in the Zenarian college at Columbus. Here Ira took his uncle around to see the State Capitol, and the legislature which was then in session. Then, they went to the penitentiary the largest in the world. It covers 23 acres, and is surrounded by a stone wall 30 feet in height. It contained only 1884 prisoners the day Ira and his uncle were there, of whom, 45 were women. The prisoners do not wear the "stripes" and they are allowed to write to their friends once a week. Up to 189G 23 persons had been hanged there and since that time, 55 have been electrocuted. Columbus is a beau tiful city. Ira went with his un cle to visit David L. Peck at Greenville, returning to Columbus last Saturday. David is "going about" but pretty lame. Sunday David and Nathaniel went to Bradford to visit Dennis's family and then Nathaniel went on to Hartford City, Ind. Zoe Mason Home. After an absence of twenty Iwo months, Miss Zoe Mason, last week returned to the home of her parents, Mr. and Mrs. Frank Ma son, of this place. After having taught several terms in this coun ty very successfully, it occurred to Miss Mason that she would like to see it Uncle Sam had any other territory that would com pare favorably with Fulton Coun ty; hence she cast out lines for work, and in a few weeks was in formed that she had been elected to a position as teacher in one of the public schools in the State of Washington at a salary that would look good to a Fulton county teacher. She accepted. In Aug ust 1 913, she went to Washington, taught the school of nine months, and was offered an increase of $35; but she wanted to see more of the country, so she spent the summer of 1914 in the University of California as a student, and while there was elected to a posi tion in a school in Douglass, Ari zona, down on the Mexican bor der. This position she filled last winter, and has been re elected at an increased salary, and will return m three months for anoth er year's work.

WINTER VACATION THE BEST Writer Put Forth Strong Argument in Favor of Rest During the Cold Months, Writing of the oflect of wcntlior and climate upon work, in Harper's Magazine, Ellsworth Huntington brings out some interesting facts in regard to vacations. "We have an idea that people need vacations in summer, but apparently the need is much greater in Janu ary and February. Of course there are strong arguments for taking va cations in summer, since that ia the time when it is pleasant to be out of doors, whereas during the winter the majority of people have no means of enjoying themselves. In spite of this the work of our opera tives suggests strongly that in tho management of factories it is emi nently wise that work Bhould be light during the winter months. Al ready it is a custom in many places to slow down during January, and now we see that there are strong physical reasons for doing this. If the operatives of a factory, or people engaged in any kind of work, are to be speeded up, the time to do it is when nature lends her aid. To speed up in February is analogous to whipping a tired horse and expect ing him to win a rare. Later in the year, however, during the spring, and especially during Hay and June, people may be pushed to the limit and will not suffer, because their en ergies are naturally increasing. This is still more the case in October and early November. After the middle of November pressure may produce important results, as we see at Christmas. Nevertheless, the chances are that if the pressure is continued straight through the winter it ex hausts people to an undue degree. It may be that a considerable part of the nervousness of Americans is due to the fact that, although we relax during the summer, even in years when we do not greatly need it, we keep ourselves at high pressure right through the winter, when the need of relaxation is much greater."

WL v raw 1 Wtt SHs- Sweet Clover-No Flies. Having heard that sweet clo ver would keep flies away from stock, but never having tried it, we asked William B. Ranck, of Bethel township where we know sweet clover grows, if there was "anything in it." He said that he frequently gathers it along the roadside and fixes it to the harness, and flies will not trouble the horses. If livestock graze, or rest, in pastures where th i s clover abounds, observing farmers say that flies will not trouble them. It is well known that all kind3 of livestock thrive better if they can be kept free from torment ing flies. Young calves can be sdr" worried by these- pests that they do not gain rapidly, and if for no other reason, it seems to us that it would pay to encourage the growth of sweet clover on grounds where young animals are kept One reason why our experi ment stations have encouraged the use of sweet clover is, that it will grow where other clovers refuse to take root. All know the value of clovers as soil build ers and it surely would be better to have sweet clover than none at all. Many do not know what sweet clover is. They seem to think that the little dwarf, white-blossomed clover found in fence cor ners is what is meant when writ ers speak of it Instead of at taining a height of six or eight inches, like the lawn clover just mentioned, sweet clover grows sometime seven feet long, and stalks growing singly and not crowded by other growth make bushes like little trees four or five feet high, with main stems as thick as your finger. When grown in sod, it makes fine pas ture and hay. Blue Thistle Valuable. A weed is any plant that grows where it is not wanted. There fore, if corn, wheat, or clover, grew where it crowded out the desired crop, they would very properly be weeds. We have been accustomed to consider all kinds of thistles as very unde sirable weeds. But, if one of them can be turned to good ac count, it at once loses much of its objectionable qualities in the farmer's estimation. Blue this tle has been successfully made to replenish humus to barren soils in Big Cove. During recent years, summer drought has made it impossible to grow sufficient vegetation for ploughing down- something every man knows must be done if he would pro vide for Nature's demand; Blue thistle cannot be killed by any drought to which this section may be subject, and within a few years, it "took" whole fields that had not been ploughed for a number of years. Owners of these fields waited until the this tle was well grown and in bloom. It was then turned under, and it was found that the big roots, to gether with the great mass of tops, decayed and filled the soil with humus, and following crops were greatly benefited.' It must not be taken for grant ed that Clark McGovern, William Woodall, and many other Cove farmers are advocating the cul tivation of blue thistle to the ex clusion of clovers and other corn- 1 6" a 1 rw-m .-'"i at Indiana, Pa.

Rag weed has been used for the same purpose by letting it grow until the stems became woody j and then turning it under. Go, Mark Him Well.

He writes the ads that bring in the dough, he chases all our gloom and woe, he tells us all we want to know and yet he is quite hum ble. He never gets a bit stuck up, he's worked since Hector was a pup to earn his daily bite and sup and have a little over.

The real "good fellow" is the fellow who knows something good about everybody and tells it. He never knocks on his neighbor or digs up the past He always lends a helping hand to the fellow who is up against it and gives him a chance to make good. He never forgets to do and say the little things that make his wife happy. His chil dren find him a jolly chum and an ever-ready playmate. His home is a haven of love, happi ness and contentment. The real "good fellow" is the world's greatest asset. Caterpillars Bad. The common tent caterpillars are unusually bad in this part of the county this spring. In some places, practically all the leaves have been eaten from some of the trees. It has been suggested that war be made on the wild cherry trees of the county. It is well known that this tree is the breader of caterpillars to a great er extent than any other kind, especially the low, bushy cherry trees that spring up everywhere along fences. in Life WO; f v -.
