This is Farmer's week.
They are here from all direc
tions. Who wouldn't be a farmer in
this generation?
One never hears "book farm
ing" condemned as we once did.
It was the "book farmer" who
found potash, phosphate, and ni
trogen for our hungry soils.
Don't fail to read the Racket
Store's new advertisement i n
thi3 paper. Messrs. Hull and
Bender are making a big racket
in prices.
HIDES. Frank B. Sipes
pays tne highest market price
for beef hides at tteir butcher
hop in McConnellaburg, also
highest price paid for calf skins
sheepskins and tallow.
Advertisement.
By all means, mix a few
pounds of alfalfa seed with the
clover seed this spring when you
sow. Some of it will "catch"
and by continuing this practice,
the soil will become inoculated,
so that some time when you wish
to sow all alfalfa, you will have
the bacteria necessary for alfalfa
With from four to twelve days
of farmers' institute held in
every county of the State every
winter, what a lot of practical
knowledge of better farming
methods must have been gained!
It seems strange, in the face of
all this, that the almost worthless
1-8-1 "fertilizer" should still find
ready sale. The fertilizer mak
ers are the only ones benefited
by its sale.
C. V. S. N. S. Notes.
Our Varsity Basketball team
won a very exciting game from
the Steelton High School five on
Saturday by the score of SG-S1.
The Steelton Team is very fast
and were in the lead of our boys
until the last minute when Barn
hart made a perfect shot with the
ball and tied the score. Grove
then made a perfect shot of two
fouls that finished the game.
Our boys defeated the Steelton
Team at Steelton January 22 by
the score of 23-20. Barnhart and
Grove were the star players for
Normal and their work is always
brilliant for Normal. On Satur
day Feb. 13 our boys will take a
trip to Bloomsburg, where they
play their sister Normal.
Glenn A. Lehman rendered a
very beautifuj solo in Chapel last
Sunday morning; Mr. Lehman
will sing, as one of the members
of a quartette, on Lincoln's birth
day. Our music instructor, Miss Ra
chel Jones, went to Harrisburg
on Wed. Feb. 3 to hear John Mc
CormacR, the celebrated Irish
Tenor.
Prof. J. S. Heiges gave an ad
dress at an institute in Plain
field, Cumberland county, last
week. Miss Mary Cutchall took
part in the programme of Nor
mal Literary Society last week.
"Near to Nature's Heart."
Taking advantage of the beau
tiful sunshine of January 30th a
number of young people with ar
tistic tastes Btrolled into Little
Cove and down along Licking
Creek to commune with Nature,
and incidentally, to secure pictures
of the beautiful scenery around
the Cliffs, old Bat Cave, Stone
Bridge, and the ice gorge below
the bridge. The party consisted
of Miss Ethel Warvel, of Anson
ia, Ohio; Miss Lillian Brewer, of
McConnellsburg; Mrs. Oscar Lit
ton, and Mr. W. Erby Booth.
Mr. Booth had his camera
and some good negatives were
secured. Miss Mary Ward added
pleasure to the occasion by join
ing the party at the stone bridge.
They report having had a fine
time. .

They Were not Robbers.
On Friday evening, February
5th, a party wearing masks, and
in other ways comically disguised
and without as much as asking
"by your leave," marched into
Mr. Willard A. Litton's home in
Thompson township, but as they
only "took his breath," and that
but for a short time, he soon dis
missed the fear that they had
come to rob him of some of his
earthly possessions. They were
friends and neighbors who had
selected masquerade style of
dress and called to celebrate his
birthday. After having given
him time to try to guess who
they were, the guests unmasked,
and he and they had some good
laughs at his guesses. Among
the many pastimes of the even
ing was some excellent music by
Miss Warvel who is a fine pianist
Those present were; Mr. and Mrs
Oscar Litton; Ethel Warvel, of
Ansonia, Ohio; Irene Brewer,
Mattie Winters, Elva Weller, Et
ta Douglas, Wretha Winters, Ma
ry Culler, Lena Comerer, R. A.
Litton, Hearst Brewer, Ora Dou
glas, Ray Weller, W. Erby Booth
Willie James, Gilbert Wigfield,
Willie Weller, Hykes Culler, John
Culler, and Ira Douglas. After
refreshments had been served,
the guests inscribed their names
on a large star which Mr. Litton
will keep as a souvenir.
