Spring Mills had a sensation the other
day. A stranger from Union county,
who thought of playing sharper in Cen-
tre, forged a note for $20 and sold it to
I. J. Grenoble, The forgery was after-
ward detected and the fellow arrested ;
after a hearing before a justice he was
committed, and as the constable was
crossing a field with his prisoner to get
to the cars and deliver him in prison, the
fellow tore away. The constable ran
too and fired his pistol in the same di-
rection, but the fellow got away with all
the blood in his veins, Next day he
was taken at the home of a ‘‘sweetheart”
in the neighborhood.
Town council passed an ordinance
that the sidewalks shall be six feet in
width,

Results of Culling Work in Pa. for
1919.
During the summer of 1919 the Poult-
ry Specialists of the Pennsylvania State
College gave 247 poultry culling demon-
strations. About 6,000 people attended
these meetings and represented about
500,000 hens. At the demonstrations,
the common methods of culling the poor
producers were demonstrated and the
people attending were given an oppor-
tunity to handle both good and poor pro-
ducers. Under the direction of the
Poultry Specialist, they were allowed to
actually cull the flock, thus getting
practice and experience in culling that
would enable them to examine their
own flocks with confidence.
At the 247 demonstrations, the people
examined about 19,000 birds. Of this
number 6,000 were thrown out as culls
and the remaining 13.000 were kept by
the owners to use as breeders. In pract-
ically every case the remaining birds
laid practically as many eggs as the en-
tire flock had produced before culling
and the feed bill reduced one thjrd,
Actual §i gures of last year's work are
given below :

Farmers Need No License.
Farmers in Pennsylvania who grow
their own apples, may make their apples
into cider and hold this cider until it has
fermented into cider vinegar, without
securing any kind of a license or permit
from the Federal prohibition or internal
revenue authorities,
This information is contained in a let.
ter to Director James Foust of the Bur.
ean of Foods, Pennsylvania Department
of Agriculture, from John F. Kramer, of
Washington, D. C., Prohibition Com-
missioner for the United States,
Recently a number of technical and
confusing rulings on the cider situation
were issued from the prohibition en-
forcement offices at Washington. These
rulings were confusing to the farmers
and in many sections of Pennsylvania
farmers were permitting their apples to
rot on the ground, rather than take
chances of running afoul of the prohibi-
tion laws by making cider for vinegar
purposes, being under the impression
that it was necessary to secure a license
or permit,
Director Foust is calling on the far-
mers of the State to make their surplus
apples into cider vinegar, points out
that by making the apples into cider and
storing this cider away on their own
premises until it becomes vinegar they
may realize a good profit and rum no
risk whatever of violating the prohibi.
tion laws. The farmer may do this
without securing a permit of any kind,
In selling sweet cider, the farmer runs
a chance of selling a beverage contain.
ing more than one half of one per cent
of alcohol, in which case, he is liable to
fine or imprisonment. By holding his
cider until itis vinegar, according to
director Foust, he runs absolutely no
risk and secures an excellent return for
his fruit and his labors,
Farmers desiring still further infor-
mation on the cider situation should
write to John F, Kramer, Prohibition
~ Commissioner, Washington, D, C,

MEASLES
Six more cases of measles are
reported today. The School Board
is considering the advisibility of
closing the schools.
Mrs. English laid down the mewspa-
per and rubbed her glasses,
“The idea,” she sald, “close the
schools for measles. Measles is na-
tural for children, snd the sooner they
have 'em and be over with ’em, the
better. 1 tell mothers to take thelr
youngsters where measles Is, so thay
can ketch 'em.”

past five years 3870 Pennsylvania
children died from measles; an annual
average of 774.
