The forty-seventh session of the Central Pennsylvania Con ference of the Methodist Episco pal church convened in the Lin coin Street Methodist Episcopal church, Shamokin, Pa., on Wed nesday, March 17, at 8:30 o'clock in the morning, Bishop William Burt presiding. All subscribers should notice the figures that we print on the little sticker containing their ad dress. The first figure indicate month, the second figure indicates the day of the month, and the last two figures indicate the year For instance, if the figures are 3-15-14, it would mean that the subscription is paid to March 15, 1914. There is not room on the sticker to print out the date in full. 13 means 1013, 14 means 1914; 15 means 1915, &c. Paid Ten Per Cent. The directors of the evaporat ing plant at Hancock paid a ten per cent dividend on the stock last week and set aside between four and five hundred dollars as a surplus. The plant had been in operation six months. Prepa rations are being made to in crease the business of the com pany this season. The stock holders who were the fortunate recipients of the ten per cent were by no means most benefited An evaporating plant in a neigh borhood provides a market for surplus fruit of all kin'ds, and we have no doubt that hundreds of families cashed part of their crop of fruits, who previously to the establishment of the plant, had either let the fruit go to waste or had gone to much trouble and expense to preserve it in some manner. With an evaporating plant located in Licking Creek township, another one in Taylor township, and others in similarly distant points from railroads, much money could be made. One good team of four horses could draw to the station as much dried fruit as a local plant would handle in a season, and the mon ey value of a four-horse load of dried fruit would buy supplies for many families for a year. . Caution. Do not let some slick stranger come into your neigh borhood and sell you a 'company' evaporating or a canning outfit For best results in small com munities, the driers should be owned by. individuals, or jointly by just a few families who can work together in harmony by making some tidy person mana ger for the season. Fix a price for berrie3 that will be brought by boys or girls, pay them the cash, and then when the finished product is sold, the owner will have no one to quarrel with over the profits. $100 would start a plcnt that could handle berries fyr half a dozen families.
