See that pork Is well cooked. One

stirred herself and tried to bud and burst,

Laying aside the paper which be bad
Just read through, our old friend and
former neighbor, James II. Ilulings, of
Parsons, W. Va., picks up a postal card
and makes this rather startling inquiry:
What's the matter? your paper reads
like a funeral or morgue directory this
week. Are you all going to die at once?"
Not on your tintype, Jim. A whole lot
of your friends are still left to alternately
enjoy and grumble at this erratic but
highly seasonable March weather, and
should you be here when the trout season
opens you'd thiuk there were more
people still alive than ever before in these
parts.
Whose Seeds Do We Sell I
This Is a leading question, but It is so
often asked that we are glad that all
should know: After years of experi
menting we bave made selections that
Include only the most desirable varieties
of Garden Seeds grown. No one seed
house supplies all of these varieties,
hence we gather our collection from the
different growers who are able to furnish
us Just what we want, of seeds that will
grow. A number of varieties are growD
in this neighborhood by people who have
grown seed for us for years. Box seed
includes everything the seed grower
chooses to send out. Our seeds are only
the choicest varieties. H. C. Mapes.

Census Director Durand baa issued de
tailed statistics of the population of Penn
sylvania, tbe total population of tbe state
being 7,6)35,111 as againBt 6,302,115 ten
years ago. Forest county bad a popula
tion in 11)00 of 11,030. These figures
dropped to 0435 in tbe 1010 census, the

as follows:

Tbe figures in all parts ol tbe slate show
a striking trend of population from tbe
rural sections to the cities and larger
centers of population. This was expected
but not to the extent, perhaps, that is
shown by the official count. It is to be
hoped that by the next census this ten
dency may Lave taken another turn and
that the "back to the farm" movement
may have set in for good.
