Wants Franklin's Mem- ory Cherished More. The National society of the Daugh- ters of the American Revolution adorted the following resolutions at its 11st congress: “Whereas, this nation should pay more grateful tribute to the memory of Benjamin Franklin, one of its founders; Resolved, by the National society, Daughters of the American Revolution, in annual congress assem- bled; this organization urges the United States government, State, cities, patriotic and similar societies, and especially schools, annually to celebrate Franklin’s birthday, Janu- ary the seventeenth, though no public holiday is desirable. All chapters of the American Rev- olution are requested to participate in this laudable movement, with one meeting a year to be devoted to the study of Franklin. Special attention should likewise be paid this fall to the 200dth anniversary month of Franklin’s arrival from Boston, ‘on a Sunday October morning,’ in Phila- delphia.” The president general of the organ- ization calls attention to George Washington’s prayer for his coun- NY mighty God: We make our earn- est prayer that Thou wilt keep the United States in Thy holy protection, and that Thou wilt incline the hearts of citizens to cultivate a spirit of subordination and obedience to gov- ernment; and to entertain a brotherly affection and love for one another and for their fellow citizens of the United States at large. “And finally, that Thou wilt most graciously be pleased to dispose us all to do justice, to love mercy, and to de- mean ourselves with that charity, hu- mility and pacific temper of mind which were the characteristics of the Divine author of our blessed religion and without a humble imitation of whose example in these things we can never hope to be a happy nation. “Grant our supplication, we be- seech Thee, through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.” Crop Returns per Hour of Labor. What crop grown by Centre county farmers brings the greatest money return per hour for labor? Accurate records are the one means of finding this out. Eighty two farmers in Lancaster county kept books in 1922 and the re- sults were summarized by the exten- sion farm management department of State College. Wheat returned the smallest income per hour of labor of the six principal crops. It yielded one and three-tenths cents an hour for the average of the 82 farms. To- bacco gave the greatest return, pay- ing out 64 cents an hour on the labor. Alfalfa ranked second with 39.1 cents an hour, followed by corn with 36.4 cents, potatoes with 36.2 cents and hay with 34.3 cents. obacco consumed the greatest time per acre, taking an average of 242 hours of the farmer's time. The least time was spent on the hay crop, with an average of 12.2 hours per acre. The average wage per hour for the six crops was 35.2 cents.

Jack Horner of the Christmas ple really existed, though whether he de- served the title of “good boy” is ex- ceedingly doubtful. He was, however, a fortunate rogue. When Henry VIII suppressed the monasteries and drove the monks from h | their quarters the title deeds of the abbey of Mells were demanded by the commissioners. The abbot of Glaston- bury determine¢ that he would send them to London aad, as the documents were very valuable, and the road in- fested with thieves, it was difficult to get them to the metropolis safely, To accomplish this end he devised a very Ingenious plan. He ordered a sa- vory pie to be made, and inside he put the documents—the finest filling a pie ever had—and intrusted this dainty to a lad named Horner to carry up to Lon- don to deliver safely into the hands for whom il was intended. But the journey was long and the day cold, and the boy was hungry, and the pie was tempting. and the chance of detection was small. So the boy broke off a piece of the pie, and beheld a parchment within. He pulled it forth innocently enough, won- dering how it could have found its way there, tied up in pastry, put it in his pocket and then continued his journey to town, The parcel was delivered, but the title deeds of. Mells abbey were miss- ing. The fact was that Jack had them in his pocket. These were the juiciest pluns in the pie. Great was the rage of the commissioners and heavy the vengeance they dealt out to the monks. But Master Jack Horner kept his se- cret, and when peaceable times were restored he claimed the estates and re- ceived them.—Baltimore Sun. WOOL FOR BILLIARD TABLE fwenty-Twso of the Finest Fleeces Are Used in Making Single Cover That Will Stand Up. Most striking of the revelations of the manafacture of billiard tables are the facts about the cloth for which the pick of the world’s wool is used to pro- duce a fabric that will stand up to its work. No fewer than 22 fleeces are re- jected during the processes of cleaning and cor:bing before the weaving be- gins, To Leep a cloth in the best condition two things are essential—careful brush- ing and ironing. The strokes of the brush must invariably be in the same direction—that is, with the nap—and the same rule holds good for the irom, which should never be too hot, or else the cells of the wool will be deprived of the natural moisture which they need to keep in good condition. The poéints of the best cues are usu ally made of French ash or maple, which have been found by experience to keep straighter than otaer woods. | for the embellishment of the butt ebony is the favorite, but tulip wood —a wood from Brazil of a red color with yellowish streaks—ana rosewood | sometimes.—De- | hoth News. are troit employed Use for Old Bed Springs. A worn-out bed spring. quietly on a city dump, might be con- sidered as the last word in useless- ness, but science, which is always on the lookout for a possible use for any- thing from Niagara falls 10 a cootie has not overlooked the possibilities of city dumps. It has been found that these unsalable antiques make the best sort of protection from flying debris in blasting explosions. The charge is covered first with a layer of bed springs and then with some loose neavy articles such as railroad ties. When the explosion occurs the gases escape readily through the cracks and crevices in the springs and slats. but the small fragments are re- tained and so cause no damage to adjacent persons and property. The springs are said to be practically in- destructible by this treatment and may ba used repeatedly. How to Tell Them Apart.
