Big Fire in Hear Meadows District,
Ope of the most disastrous forest
fires the state has had for a number of
years started on Monday of last week
in the Feven Mountains back of
Bbiogletown and due fo the high
winds and exceedingly dry westher
raged uncontrolled for a week, burp-
ing over an area of 20,000 acres be-
tween Band Springs and Hublers Gap
on the second, third snd fourth moun-
tains in Huntingdon and Centre
counties, The area of state land de-
stroyed is probably 19,500 acres,
Three hundred men from the sur-
roundiog country aided by 400 to 500
students from Bate College fought the
fire for seven daye and eix nights
under the directions of Forester L. G.
Barner, Forest, Rangers Rober: Reitz
and Willian Harpster, snd Fire
Wardens W. A. Leech, J. H., Jacobs
and J. I. Reed. Mr, Harpster reports
that two of bis men were seriously
burred. Ugunecoufirmed reports state
that two hunting camps were destroy-
ed. As far as can be determined at the
present time the fire was due to ebso-
lute carelessness, probably on the part
of some fisherman or traveler in the
woods. Oune little match has caused
an ioestinable lose, A rough ap-
proximation places Lhe damage to
young timber alone at $20,000 to $80,-
000. Add to this the loss of wild ile
which means a loss of sport to the
buntédd who frequent the district, the
loss of ‘the future value of the destroy«
ed timber, the damage to the soll and
the destrugtion of seeds and seedlings
and the damage is beyond estimation,
The cost of extinguishing this fire
will probably exored $3000.

STATE AGRICULTURAL NOTES,
Reports from crop correspondents
state that the clover meadows, wheat
and rye have been very little damaged
this spring by heaving and splendid
crops are expected,
Reports from varioys eectiope of the
Btate indicate that the Elberta peaches
have been greatly affected by the
changing weather conditions in Janu-
ary and February.
May 1 reports from all sections of
the Btate show a decided gain in the
prospects of a normal peach crop over
the indications of a month ago. In
Adams county, the center of the peach
belt, the indications on May 1 were for
76 per cent. of a normal crop against
2 per cent, on April 1,
The Dairy and Food Bureau of the
Department of Agriculture has started
a crusade against maraschino cherries
used in cocktails and as trimmings for
ice cream ‘‘sundaes.’” It has been
found upon analysis that many of the

which is prohibited by the pure food
law,

Not True, But Very Odd,
An employe of a New York firm, it
is said, after working for eight years,
asked for an incresse in salary,
“ You don’t work for ue,” ssid the
manager, who proceeded to prove it
by the following method of subtrace
tion :
““There are 365 days In the year.
You sleep 8 hours per day, making 122
days, subtracted from 365 leaves 243.
You have eight hours’ recreation each
day, also making 122 daye, leaving 121
days ; there are 52 Bundsys that you
don’t work, leaving a balance of 69
days ; our store la closed every Batur-
day afternoon, giviog 52 half holidays
or 25 days that you don’t work, mak-
ing a balavce ater deduction of 43
days ; we allow one hour esch noon for
lunch, mak'ng 16 days, or a balance of
27 days ; we give two weeks’ vacation
during the summer, which leaves only
13 daye ; there are 12 legal holidays
during the year that we are closed.
This leaves only one day In the year
and that is 8t. Patrick’s day, and we
don’t keep open.’
The fellow scratched his head, pon-
dered a little while, and said : * Well,
Mr. Bose, that's all very well, but
what are you paying me for, any
way?"
