I A
Did Your Potatoes Blight? i
During the past summer the Centre
county Farm Bureau has conducted
potato spraying demonstrations for
control of late blight on eleven farms
throughout the county. On each
farm a check plot of four rows was
left unsprayed. On Monday, October
11th, at 1:30 p. m. a dergonstration
meeting will be held at Lloyd White's
farm, located three miles east of
Pleasant Gap, on the road from Pleas-
ant Gap to Zion. At this time the po-
tatoes on the unsprayed and sprayed
plots will be dug up, thus checking up
on the efficiency of spraying. A simi-
lar meeting will be held at Milo Camp-
bell’s farm located four miles east of
Pennsylvania Furnace on the Bailey-
ville road.
Late blight and consequent rot can
be controlled by efficient and timely
spraying. If you are interested in
improving the potato crop for your-
self and for Centre county you cannot
afford to miss these demonstration
meetings.

MIRAGE IN NEVADA DESERT
Traveler Relates How Two Coyotes
Shared His Astonishment at
Strange Sight Witnessed.
One morning in a Nevada desert 1
sat watching a moving mirage show
{ts scenes—picture after picture. Oc-
casionally one to right or left in front
of or behind the prei»ding one. Some
were retained in plage much longer
than others; they were brought closer
and shown or reshown farther back.
One scene was of two covered wag-
ons with three or four loose horses.
They moved along two dim wheel
tracks, round an arroyo and across
two or three typical sand drifts. I
stared at the scene in astonishment.
They “stopped as though to camp by
the mirage lake. A camp fire ap-
peared. I rubbed my face; I was
awake. I saw objects moving about
the wagon and the fire.
Two coyotes came trotting along
near me. They saw the camp and
after a few steps of looking with
head to one side they stopped in front
of me to watch it. I rose up better to
watch them. They had either not
seen me or had forgotten my presence
in their eager concentration on the
camp scene. Another loose horse, as
though left behind, came lagging up.
The coyotes watched this moving
horse; they were seeing what I was
seeing. Smoke rose above the camp
fire by the wagon, then the picture
melted and only the bare desert shim-
mered before us.—Enos A. Mills, in
Saturday Evening Post.
BRING GOOD AND BAD LUCK |
Belief in Power of Various Flowers
Is Strongly Heid in Eastern
and Western Lands.
It 1s good luck to eat the first may-
flower you see in the spring. If it is
a crocus, let it alone; in Austria they
say it draws away one’s strength. Nor
must you dig up a cuckoo flower or
tempt luck by moving a wild daisy into
the garden. In Egypt the anemone
1s one of the lucky flowers of spring;
wrap the first one in red cloth and,
if not disturbed, it will cure disease.
On the French coast it is useless to
try to catch fish unless the waters are
first strewn with flowers by the fisher-
men’s wives and daughters. In Devon-
shire (England) they regard it as un-
lucky to plant a bed of lilies in the
course of twelve months. The Turk
sees misfortune in so light a thing as
the fall of a rose petal and will some-
times guard against such dropping by
carefully picking the flowers before
they fall apart. In Samoa the head
of a corpse ts wreathed in flowers to
'The McVey Co.
aid the soul to gain admission into
paradise. '
Cook vegetables as soon after gath-
ering as possible.

THE UNIVERSAL CAR
The Ford One Ton Truck is serving business
as faithfully and economically as does the Ford
Touring Car serve all the people faithfully and
economically. The Ford Truck is a necessity to
the grocer both in delivering goods and in bring-
ing goods from the stations, docks and from the
country. It is an ideal motor car because there
isn’t a want of the farmer or business man that it
doesn’t supply in the way of quick transportation
at a minimum expense. Come in, examine the
Truck, and let us talk over the subject.
