Johnston, of the Cove, has been confined to her room for several weeks. She is said to be improving in health, and her many friends hope that when the weather gets better, she will be able to get out again. A few days ago, while coasting Walter a six-year-old son of Mr. and Mrs. W. W. Keggereis, of Cumberland county crashed through a fence, and sustained serious iujuries. Mrs. Keggereis was formerly Miss Blanche John ston, of the Cove. All the cases of smallpox about Brallier station in Bedford coun ty, have fully recovered, the homes have been thorughly disinfected, and last week the quarantine was removed from all the homes in which there had been any cases. Several of the cases had been very bad, and are very much pitted. President Wilson and some of his cabinet no doubt seem odd to a certain class of big, daily news papers; but after a year's study of the reason, we find it is be cause they practice old fashioned religion in the performance of public duties. Winking at wrongs by public men is not pop ular with our president. Radium, about which we read so much, is a rare metal, very useful in the cure of certain skin diseases, notably cancer. If a pound of it could be collected, its value would probably be $50, 000,000. Less than an ounce has this far been extracted, in all the world. Wonder if we could find some in the Meadow Grounds ? Mrs. Anna Troutman, aged a bout 70 years, widow of Jacob Troutman, was killed on the Hun tingdon and Broadtop railroad near Hopewell on Tuesday morn ing of last week. Mrs. Trout man who was very deaf, was walking along a narrow path at the end of the ties, and there was such a sharp curve that the engi neer could not see her. ' She liv ed only ten minutes after the train struck her. Goldfish could be raised by the thousand in any back yard in this place. Two or more small ponds dug deep to prevent freezing sol id, are necessary. The eggs must be removed as fast as laid, to prevent large fish from eating them. The eggs are deposited by the fish, on moss placed for that purpose. Moss and the ad hering eggs are then removed to another pond where they hatch. Sale Register. Thursday, February 12, S. A.

Nace wrote to the Secretary of Game Commission asking what fiinan cial support might be expected for the feeding and care of help less quail and other wild birds, in addition to the vast amount of voluntary work now being dote by farmers and sportsmen in the County. In reply Mr. Nace re ceived the following letter: "In reply to your letter just re ceived I would say I realize ex actly conditions m your county; I know what deep snows mean, but am absolutely helpless in the matter. While because of the Residont Hunter's Licence law la ge sums of money are accumu lating in the State Treasury, that are to be used for game and wild bird protection, not one cent of this money is available at this time, and I am absolutely with out funds. I am sorry I cannot be of servue to you. Joseph Kalbfus. Query: This money not being "available", has it, like cheese, to be "ripened" somewhere? Postponed Sale. D. S.

Mr. Frank Ranck, president of the Fulton County Supervisors' Association, went to Harrisburg on Tuesday to attend a meeting State Board of Agriculture, and while there will confer with the Assistant Engineer of the State Highway Department for this district, and arrange a date for a convention of the County Super visors' Assocation of this county, the date to be aunounced as soon as determined. According to Act No. 109 of the last General Assembly, the for mation of county associations of supervisors and other persons officially charged with the con struction and maintenance of the pubic roads and streets, is there by authorized; such associations to hold annual, or semiannual conventions at the county-seats of the respective counties, or at some other suitable place within the county; that each township supervisor attending such con vention shall receive the sum of two dollar per day not to ex ceed two days in each year and three cents per mile for traveling expenses. A Good Price. Do you know that breakfast foods or at least some kinds of them are an expensive diet? Puff ed wheatV put up in nice paste board boxes contain six ounces each and retails at from 9 to 10 cents a box. Those figures are innocent-looking, but not so when you do a little "figuring." Six ounces are three-eighths of a pound. If 3-8 of a pound costs 9 cents, a pound would cost 24 cents and as there are GO pounds in a bushel of wheat the retail Erice of an entire bushel would e $14.40 cents. Would you call that an inexpensive diet. What the showing is on other break fast foods can be determined in the same way. One thing is quite certain wheat at $14.40 cents a bushel is about fourteen times the price that farmers get for what they have to sell. Mason's Tenth List. No. 166. 223 Acres. Price $1,600.
