The county fair held last week at Keystone Park was fairly well attend ed considering the disagreeable weath er, as it rained the first three days and a large number of our people were kept from attending. The fair was a success as to exhibits in the line of horses and cattle, poultry, fancy articles, vege tables,etc. The vegetables were not so numerous as on other exhibitions but as to appearance they were as nice a lot of exhibits as could be found any where, and for an off year, as is claim ed, they were as good as any we have ever seen.

Reforestation on a commercial scale and economic purposes is receiving much attention now in Pennsylvania and many individuals and large cor porations- realize the seriousness of the future timber supply question and have begun extensive planting operations. The H. C. Frick Coke Company's re cent plantings on Its holdings, princi pally in the Connellsville coke region, amount to 60,000 trees, consisting of the red oak, catalpa, chestnut, and European larch. Forest plantingoper at ions of the Pennsylvania Railroad in Pennsylvania have been under way for some time and this year the com pany set out 791,000 trees to supplement its former plantings. Other corpora tions which have also begun planting on a large scale are the Westmoreland Coal Company of Irwin, which has lately completed the planting of 50,000 trees and the Keystone Coal and Coke Company which has planted 25,000 trees. The Johnstown Water Company has carried out a series of planti.igs for im proving and increasing the municipal water supply for Johnstown. Some of the region from which the water comes consisted of old farm lands, the drain age from which was not conducive to the best health conditions. The farms have been bought and planted with chestnut, Scotch pine, white pine, and red oak. Other large companies and corpora tions in Pennsylvania are considering planting and some of them have al ready taken up the work. Among these corporations which have made plans for reforestation on an extensive scale is the Lehigh Coal and Naviga tion Company which will plant on tracts aggregating between 9,000 and 10,000 acres in Carbon and Schuylkill counties. This work is to be done for the protection of the company's water supply and the production of timber for mine props, boat poles and other uses. Prominent among the individuals who have begun the reforestation of considerable areas of land is Richard Knight, New York who will plant over 700 acres in Northeast Pennsylvania. Mr. Knight already has a fine planting station in operation and will use about 1,000,000 trees in reforesting his tract. The Forest Service, in accordance with its policy of assisting States, cor porations, and individuals in tree plant ing and forest management, has pre pared planting plans for a number of companies in Pennsylvania. These plans include an examination of the land, study of the soil and drainage, recommendations of the best kinds of trees to plant, and suggestions for their cultivation and care. The trees which have been found adapted to the best growth in Pennsyl vania are Scotch pine, European larch, chestnut, red oak, Norway spruce and white pine. Experiments have also been made with catalpa and the short leaf pine will also be tested out in some of the the planting operations. The State of Pennsylvania has recog nized the necessity of preserving its remaining timber tracts,and of replant ing denuded areas, and it has putin operation a forest policy which in cludes the purchase of large bodies of land, fire protection, a forestry school, and extensive reforestation. Many of the railroad and mining companies own land in large tracts, from which the timber has been cut or burned, and they have undertaken to grow tcpes there again, by planting or protecting the young growth which springs up naturally. They are pro viding for the needs of future years when the pinch of scarity shall be felt even more severely than at this time. The sudden and disastrous floods of recent years, in central and western Pennsylvania, have been attributed to the removal of the wooden cover from the mountain slopes which formerly stored and held back the excessive storm water, permitting it to flow off gradually. A restoration of this forest cover is one of the purposes held con stantly in view. The welfare of the people of the State demands it, and it is of almost equally vital importance the cites and farming country along the lower valleys beyond the Pennsy vania line when periodic floods of great severity follow extensive rains or the sudden melting of snow.

The way to make a barrel of money, acoording to The Louisville Courier- Journal, is to spend a keg in advertis ing. The recipe is infallible, provid ed the keg is spent judiciously. But just as some millionaires with littler knowledge of art have been known U> invest vast sums in collections of paint~ ings which turned out to be mere rub bish, so it is possible for ill-advised seekers for publicity to load up with gold bricks. The exploiter of merch andise who doesn't know how himself must enlist the aid of the expert. Enter "The Toymakers." "There are strange things in Toy shops" was the wise and witty saying of the olden time and Charles Pelton Pidgin has brought out once more the force of the adage in his new and wonderfully comic opera of"The Toy makers," a musical presentation of his book under the same title and for whose merry and always melodious score the well-known Boston composers, Charles D. Blake and John A. Bennett, are sponsors. At Emporium Opera House, Friday evening, Nov. 1. To Rent. Office or store. Best location in town. Inquire at this office. NO. 32.
