FOR THE AGES TO BE.
Suppose life was only a battle for self,
And nobody pitied or gave,
And none of the dead who had journeyed
ahead,
Neither scholar, nor soldier, nor knave,
Ever thought of the children that follow-
ed him on
Or toiled without claiming his fee,
Can't you picture today as you go on your
way
What a horrible world it would be?
If nobody cared whether others survived,
Or whether or not they were glad;
If each of us here labored year after year
For only the gold to be had;
If life were but striving for raiment and
food,
Then the beasts in the field that we see
Would be one with plan that is fashioned
for man
And a horrible world it would be.
But the joys that we know and the charms
that we claim
Are ours because somebody cared;
Thé pleasures we boast of and treasure
the most
We owned because somebody dared.
The dead have gone on ‘leaving us to be
glad,
In the gardens they planted, and we
Must leave something behind, for the fu-
ture to find;
We must work for the ages to be.

WEALTHY WOMAN GIVES
ESTATE TO CHARITY.
Danville, Pa.—An estate conserva-
tively estimated at more than $1,500,
000 is left to charity, by the will of
Mrs. Abigail A. Geisinger, filed for
probate recently with Register Sidler.
Before Mrs. Geisinger began her phil-
anthropic work eight years ago, her
estate was estimated at $3,500,000 and
on the George F. Geisinger Memorial
hospital she spent $650,000 and added
an endowment of $1,000,000. Her will
provides that, after the other bequests
are paid, the residue of the estate shall
be divided into equal shares and safely
invested, the annual income from each
share to go to the hospital and a home
for the friendless women which the
will founds respectively.
The woman’s nearest relatives are a
niece and a nephew and to them she
bequeathed the income of $10,000, to
be divided equally, and a life interest
in a home on Miss street, this bor-
ough. They are C. R. and Catherine
Pickell, of Washington, D . C. To her
four namesakes, Abigail Geisinger
Sullivan, of Lima, Ohio; Abagail Geis-
inger Econova, of Sofia, Bulgaria; Ab-
igal Geisinger Jason, of Carozal, Por-
to Rico, and Nannie Geisinger
O’Boyle, of Kingston, Pa., Mrs. Geis-
inger gave $500 each. The same
amount was given to Mrs. O. Shindel,
of Danville, a friend.
The will provides $10,000 for the
Presbyterian Board for the Relief of
Disabled © Ministers, $10,000 to the
Presbyterian Board of Missions for
Freedmen, $5000 to the Presbyterian
Board of Home Missions, $5000 to the
Presbyterian Board of Foreign Mis-
sions, $3000 to the Indian 'L'raining
school at Carlisle and a trust fund of
$40,000 to Lincoln University in Ches-
ter county. The will also provides
that any horses Mrs. Geisinger owned
at the time of her death be chloro-
formed.
Shortly before her death she pui-
chased the Heddens house, a former
hotel, and work on remodeling this has
been going on under her direction for
some time. The will gives this build-
ing, when completed, to Danville for a
Young Women’s Christian Associa-
tion, and provides that the estate shall
be responsible for any deficit at the
end of each year not exceeding $1000.
The Abigail A. Geisinger Home for
Friendless Women is to be establish-
ed. within a year in her late commo-
dious residence. The will names trus-
tees and provides for admission of
friendless women, first of Danville,
then of Montour county and then of
the State, with neither color nor reli-
gious belief to be a bar.
The Scranton Trust company is
named executor and trustee and is em-
powered to sell any portion of the es-
tate’s holdings, with the exception of
Mrs. Geisinger’s share in the Kingston
Coal company, of Kingston, Pa., of
which she was almost sole owner. The
holdings in this company are to be
held by the executor until all of the
coal owned by the company has been
mined or the business of the company
closed. The will was made June 19,
1915, with one codicil added the same
day, another November 3, 1917, and a
third September 24, 1919.—Record.
AIREDALE DOG NOT SCOTCH.
Your Airedale is not a Scotch dog.
He is not of Scotch ancestry and no
blood of Scotch dogs flows in his veins.
He is an Irish and English dog. The
name of his breed does not come from
the County Ayr in Scotland, but from
the River Aire in Yorkshire, England.
Nor is the Airedale an old breed of
dog, as such things are measured in
the dog world. It is neither an old
family nor a “first family” among
dogs. The Airedale is a newcomer.
Dogs of this breed were first exhibited
at Shipley, in Yorkshire in 1876, and
they were then called, not Airedale,
bwt “waterside terriers.” These dogs
were produced by crossing an Eng-
lish otter hound with an Irish terrier,
believed to have been a red terrier,
and later adding a dash of bull terrier
blood. The combination produced ‘a
dog second to no other dog in intelli-
gence, bravery, gameness in a fight,
loyalty to his master and his master’s
family, and kindliness to children.
The word “Airedale,” as the name
of this new kind of dog, was first used
in 1883 at the national dog show at
Birmingham, England, where these
entries were described as “Airedales”
or “waterside terriers.” The name
“waterside terriers” fell into disuse.
The English Kennel club was slow
and conservative in recognizing this
as a new and distinct breed of dog,
but referred to them as “broken-hair-
ed terriers.”

FARM NOTES.
—As competition in the fruit indus-
try becomes more intensive it is nec-
essary that growers give more heed
to the choice of varieties of fruit in
their orchards especially adapted to
soil and climatic conditions, as well as
to market requirements. As it re-
quires several years to establish and
bring an orchard up to the age of
production it is not always possible
to anticipate the requirements of the
market at the time of planting the
orchard, and it therefore becomes de-
sirable in some instances to change
the trees which have been planted
from one variety to another better
suited to the market or home require-
ments.
Beside the question of suitability of
the variety to the needs of the market
it has been found with citrus fruits
that there are strains of otherwise
good varieties which do not produce
paying crops. When trees of such
strains are found in the orchards in
any considerable number the produc-
tion of the orchard is reduced in
quantity as well as quality. This
makes such areas less profitable than
they otherwise would be if the un-
productive trees could be replaced by
those which bear abundantly.
There are different methods of ac-
complishing this result. The import-
ant thing, however, is to determine
which of the trees in the variety list
are undesirables, either from the
standpoint of production, either in
quantity or quality, of the individual
tree, and after having determined
which of the trees are “boarder” trees,
in the language of the dairyman, the
orchardist should proceed to eliminate
these undesirable orchard citizens by
either grafting or budding into the
tops of the trees which are to be
changed scions or buds of a variety,
or a strain, which is known to be
adapted to the requirements of the
particular region and market.
In pear, apple, or plum trees of ma-
ture size the changing of the top
from one variety to another is, as a
rule, most satistactorily accomplished
by grafting by the method known as
cleft-grafting. On younger trees the
same thing can be accomplished either
by whip grafting or by budding. With
peaches, however, it is generally more
satisfactory to replace the undesira-
ble varieties by young nursery trees
of desirable sorts, rather than to at-
tempt to transform mature trees into
other varieties either through budding
or grafting.
With citrus fruits, particularly or-
anges and lemons, the process is even
more simple than it is with apples,
pears, or plums, because it is possible
very effectively to bud into the bark
of mature trees of these sorts, and as
buds inserted into large framework
branches make rapid growth it is pos-
sible in three years’ time actually to
replace the head of a tree of rather
mature age by this process. It should
not be inferred, however, that because
budding is recommended for the trans-
formation of orange and lemon trees
that they are not capable of being
grafted. Such is not the case, but the
budding method is more economical of
material and requires less time in the
operation, and since it gives good re-
sults it is, for these reasons, preferred
by growers.
Grafting of practically all styles
adapted to the transformation of ma-
ture trees must be carried on while the
trees are in their resting or dormant
condition, and while the scions to be
used in grafting are in the same con-
dition. On the other hand, budding is
in the main done during the period of
active growth, while the bark of the
bud-stick as well as of the tree to be
reheaded, is, as the nurserymen say,
in a condition to “slip.”
Operations of budding and grafting
are not especially difficult. They re-
quire attention to special details and
those who have had experience in the
work can accomplish more than the
novice will be able to when he first un-
dertakes the operation.
When the operation is properly per-
formed, and the condition of the stock
and the scion are satisfactory, a good
budder will secure 99 per cent. of a
stand in his work in citrus trees, also
in certain species of deciduous trees,
such as peaches, apples, pears, and
plums in the nursery row. In fact, it
is usually considered easier to secure
a “stand” of buds or scions on nursery
stock than upon more mature plant-
ings.
Those having trees that are not pro-
ducing satisfactory varieties, and
those having seedling trees which are
of no value because of the inferiority
of the fruit, can by budding or graft-
ing these individuals with scions or
buds of desirable varieties make them
productive units in the home fruit
planting or in the commercial orchard.
For detailed information concerning
budding and grafting of deciduous
fruits write the Department of Agri-
culture for Farmers’ Bulletin No. 157,
“Propagation of Plants.”
—That the pooling of wool for com-
munity sales purposes is a great as-
set to the wool growing industry of
Pennsylvania is shown in the increase
in the number of pounds of this year’s
clip pooled over that of last year in
the western counties. A total of 450,
000 pounds was combined for sales in
seventeen pools in 1920, and at least
700,000 pounds will be placed on the
market this year in eighteen pools. W.
B. Connell, of The Pennsylvania State
College agricultural extension divis-
ion, has been busy for the past several
weeks grading the wools for the hun-
dreds of growers in the community
projects, and expects to complete work
on 400,000 pounds during the summer.
Last year only 210,000 pounds were
graded, and the growers have come to

realize the importance of placing their
product on the market properly grad-
“Pooling and grading have encour-
aged wool growers in Pennsylvania,”
says Mr. Connell. “I find this year’s
product much cleaner and of a high
grade, because it has been shown that
with little extra trouble far better
prices can be received.” The last of
the 1920 clip was sold last week in
Centre county combined with this
year’s wool.
PASTEURIZING BY ELECTRICITY.
It is easy enough to kill all bacteria
in milk by raising it to boiling point.
Unfortunately this brings about cer-
tain chemical changes, giving the fluid
a “cooked” taste.
The process called “pasteurizing” is
a compromise, its object being to use
only enough heat to reduce greatly the
number of bacteria in the milk and,
what is specially important, to destroy
any disease germs that it may contain.
EE ES TS BESET,
In “raw” milk there may be germs of
tuberculosis, of typhoid or even of
scarlet fever.
Pasteurizing, however, cannot be
counted upon always to destroy every
disease germ in milk. It is claimed
that a new process, employing elec-
tricity, does the work much better. It
kills all disease microbes with certain-
ty and all but a few of the harmless
bacteria, so that the treated milk, if
kept cool will stay fresh for a number
of days.
As described by the Popular Science
Monthly, the machine passes the milk
out of a tank through a “lethal tube,”
in flowing through which the fluid is
exposed to an alternating current of
4000 volts, whereby the bacteria con-
tained in it are killed. From the tube
it is discharged, practically sterilized,
into receptacles for cooling.
A plant of this kind operated for the
infant-welfare centers of Liverpool,
with a capacity of thirty gallons an
hour, has proved highly successful.

Mail Order Houses Find It Easy to

the Cost of Making

It was a famous American showman
‘who declared that the American people
love to be humbugged. That saying is
many years old now but sometimes it
seems that there is about as much
truth in it now as there was when it
was first uttered.
People as a rule do not like the idea
of having “something put over” on |
them, but from the way in which the
great mail order houses in the, big i
cities flourish it seems that a g¥eat
many people do not mind it a bit. i
, The business man who, when he gets
a call for an article which he has not
in stock, attempts to substitute some
other article of a similar nature with-
out telling the buyer of the substitu-
tion, is “putting something over” on
his customer. Few retail merchants
ncwadays attempt to do a thing of that
kind. The great majority of merchants
do not do this for two reasons. One
reason is that they wouldn't do it if
they could and the other is that they
couldn’t do it if they would. The man
who buys an article over the counter
and sees what he is buying before he
pays for it, is pretty sure to get what
he wants.
Ordered Shirt, Got Pajamas.
Put there is another class of mer-
chants, of which the same thing can-
not be said. A man who has been close-
1y connected with some of the big mail
order houses is authority for the state
merchandise departments of many
mail order houses have standing orders
to substitute with the nearest thing
they have if the articles ordered are
not in stock and available for delivery.
It is related that in one instance as a
result of these instructions, a man whe
dered a dress shirt from a mail order
house received a pair of pink pajamas
instead.
It is easy for the mail order house tc
get away with this substitution of an-
other article for the one that is or
dered for the reason that to exchange
an article received from a catalogue
house s a costly undertaking.
and I Buy Out. of Town, What, will Become of Our Town?
exchanges Are Costly.
If a mail order buyer is disappoint
ed in his purchase, as he is very apt tc
be when he compares the artitle upor
its arrival with the picture and flowery
description which appeared in the
catalogue, the wisest plan is to take
what he gets and make the best of it
for every time he sends an article back
to be exchanged, he is piling up the ex
piess or freight charges and even if
the article is exchanged as requested
the buyer is not apt to fare much bet:
ter on the second attempt.
The mail order houses are well
aware of the fact that the majority of
their customers will not go to the trou
Ile and expense of returning an ar
ticle if it does not come up to their
expectations and as a result they can
work the substitution game to their
hearts’ content.
The home merchant, however, can
not do business in this way and, as has
heen said, the majority of them would
not do it if they could. The home mer:
chant, if he has not the article called
foi may offer another with the expla.
nation that it is of the same quality
as the one for which the customer
asked. Good merchants nowadays even
hesitate to offer something “just as
good” to the customer especially when
the article called for is one that has
become well-known and popular
through the advertising done by the
manafacturer, but to attempt to make
| a sabstitution without the knowledge
or consent of the customer! Well, it
isn’t being done by the local merchants
today.
Substitution Made Easy.
Substitution is made easy for the
mail order houses, also, by the fact
that they do not sell much of what is
known as “advertised” goods—that is,
goods that have been thoroughly ad-
vertised by the manufacturers and
have hecome nationally known ‘through
such advertising. A large part of the
merchandise which the mail order
houses sell purports to be manufac-
tured by them—although in most cases
little of it is made in their own plants.
Much of this merchandise bears only
the name of the mail order house and
it is easy to substitute one article for
another without the customer being
any the wiser.
The methods of the home marchant
naturally are different. With the great
development of advertising in recent
years much of the merchandise carried |
by the retail merchant is “advertised”
goods. These goods are of familiar
brands, the names of which have been
made famous by the national advertis-
ing of the makers. This advertising is
« distinct protection to the buyer for
the latter knows when he ‘goes into his
local store and asks for an article of
this kind that he will get just what he
asks for if the merchant has it in
stock and that he will be told if the
article is not in stock. There is abso-
lutely no opportunity for the merchant
te “put one over” on him, even if the
merchr .t ad the inclination to do so.
