At a recent term of court in Hollidaysburg, Mrs. Frank Keith sued her husband for non-sup Port, he having been directed by the court at the timo of their sep aration in 1911, to pay Mrs Keith $U per month alimony. Mrs. Keith claimed that Frank was in arrears for two years. At the trial excitement ran high between the opposition lawyers, so that the Judge had to act as peace maker. When both sides had Presented their cases, it develop ed that Keith had been out of ork for some time, and this was Riven as one reason for non-payment; but as he now has a steady Job, the Court directed that he hould begin on April 15th to pay the monthly allowance of $11, N in addition, pay her two dol larsamonth on the back alimony.

From Bulletin No. 250, Depart ment of Agriculture, we print the ollowing extract: "McConnells burg, the county seat, is located in one of the fertile limestone sections of the State, equal in fertility to the limestone valleys of Franklin, Cumberland, Dauph in, Lebanon, Berks, Lehigh, and Northampton counties, because the same limestone from which the lime-tone poil of these coun ties is formea occurs in this Cove. The farm protects of this Cove should be converted by the farm ers into concentrated forms, such as butter, milk, pork, Iamb, mut ton, eggs, poultry, beef and flour and sold by them to consumers through a co-operative organiza tion of the farmers. The county has no railroads at this time but hopes to have several lines in the near future." SIDELING HILL. Benson Akers and mother have purchased a flno new Ford auto.

It sometimes happens that vil lages are so situated that the families of business men are deni ed changes that break the monot ony of long summer days. How often do we hear "Anything for a change!" Costly trips to sea shore, or to watering places, have after all, little value beyond the change it brings from monoto nous everyday life. We personal ly know of two towns that solved the problem in a way that was within the means of all. A camp along a stream was select ed, and groups of families annu ally pitched tents, to which, they took sufficient household goods to make them comfortable for a month or for as long as they chose to stay. The camp was within easy driving distance of town, and heads of families spent the day at their places of busi ness, and at night, they spent the time with their families. In this way, a healthful season of outdoor life was enjoyed by peo ple who, otherwise, should have been perhaps, as comfortable phy sically but not mentally at home. There is something about camp ing that renews youth. A kind of care-free atmosphere pervades camp life that invigorates. It calls into action thoughts and feelings that lie dormant in per manent homes. It brings one face to face with Nature no matter if the camper's home is on a farm. The novelty of the situation quickens the pulse in a way no other form of recreation can do. The wholesome atmos phere of a tent bedroom induces peaceful slumber. Life in the most commonplace camp creates a good appetite. One may make life in camp as restful, or, is strenuous, as ho may w ish. Busi ness men, after a night in camp, return in the morning with the cobwebs of worry all brushed aside act like colts turned !oos.e in pasture, and all because of the novelty of change. bMlt.
