The bank's capital is $25,000 and its deposits total $350,000. The failure is said to 'be due to a political light and not to the collapse of the Uniontown institution controlled by .f. V. Thompson. The fight grew out of examinations for the postmaster ship. Miss Mary Arrison, a school teacher, took the examination and obtained the highest percentage. She resigned her position as school teacher aoil made ar rangements to take charge of the post ofliee, when it was ascertained that her papers had been declared void and she was told to take a re-examination. She did so, but was beaten for the place. The residents of the village took sides and factions formed. The bank officials, it is said, were favorable to Mrs. Morris Hatfield, the successful candidate, while many of the residents took the side of Misss Arrison. About four months ago many of the deposit ors began drawing their money out of the bank. RADIUM BY HEW PROCESS Government Bureau Makes Discovery. House Is Informed Washington, D.

(J., Jau. 2S.—Seven ty-five oar loads of oats iutended for • export have recently been seized by the federal ai-thorities because they were i found to be adulterated within the 1 meanings of the food and drills act.Tlio adulteration charged is the addition of feed barley or water or both. Under certain circumstances adulteration in these ways may be so profitable that it is believed to be at times a common | practice among grain shippers. The sjovernment, however, is determines that the practice shall cease at once, and field representatives of the De partment of Agriculture have all been ( instructed to exercise the utmost viol ence in detecting future shipments adulterated in this way. l<ow grade barley which is known to the trade as "feed barley" is some times mixed with oats when there is sufiicient difference between the prices of the two grains to make this profit able. Thi9 "feed barley" is the prod uct which remains after the best grade of the grain has been separated and re moved for malting purposes. It contains material percentages of weed Beeds, foreign grains and dust, and the ad dition of oats of such a product is held to be a violation of the food and drugs act. The addition of water to oats arises from the fact that the grain is sold by weight. Investigations of the I Department of Agriculture have re- | vea'od the fact that water is sometimes . added in the amount of from 2 to 4 per cent. In the opinion of the government of ficials there is no reason why either of these practices should be tolerated, i Grain shippers and dealers, therefore, i are being warned that the prevalence ; of the custom in the past will not affect the legal proceedings against future shipments found to be adulterated in this way.

MENACE TO NURSERY STOCK Public Hearing on Question of Pro hibiting Importations of Eu ropean Pines Washington. D. C., Jan. 28.—Be cause of the danger to American nur sery stock a public hearing will be held February 2, 1915, at the Department of Agriculture to discuas a proposed quarantine on the importation of all pines from Europe. During the past year imported pines have been found to be infested with the European pine shoot moth. In Europe this is one of the principal insect enemies of pines and is especially 'destructive in nur series, young forests, and ornamental plantations. It kills or injures the young twig growth and deforms the tree to a serious extent. In this country the insect seems to be still confined to the European pines in Connecticut, Illinois, Mrssa"husetts, Now Jersey, New York, Ohio, Penn.-yl vania, Rhode Island and West Vir ginia. Strenuous efforts are already being made to stamp it out an? it is be lieved that these will be successful if no further importations o'f infested stock are permitted. The w'hite pine blister rust has al ready resulted in the exclusion of all five-leafed pines from Europe and Asia. The proposed quarantine will extend this prohibition to all classes of pinei from Europe. No restriction is pro posed on the importation of pine eced. The hearing will be held at 10 a. m.

In about four quarts of milk that had turned sour were swimming stale half loaves, drumsticks of fowls, old ham bones, cold boiled potatoes, trim mings of dough made for pie crusts, cracked eggs, some old codfish and some spoiled macaroni. Next day 1 found a second consign ment, very similar, about to be carried away and thrown out. 1 stopped this! lot, sorted it out and, with the help of a little stock, half a dozen eggs ami a hare that had been shot on the es- j tate, served a seven course dinner for i a family of ten that night, and the master of the household called me up I and complimented me before the whole family on the best dinner they had had ! for a year. Afterward his wife sent for me and told me that, though pleased with the dinner, she feared I hail been too ex travagant and said that her rule was not to allow more than 7 shillings per j head in housekeeping. It was a severe j shock to her to hear I had fed the i family on the sins of the cook that j had left the day before, the cost being ! not over ninepence per head.—From ' "An Interview With a French Chef" | in National Food Magazine.
