SALIVIA
Mrs. Howard L. Sipes and Mrs
W. E Bair attended the Foor
funeral at Rays Hill, last Satur
day. Mrs. Edwin C. Deshong and
child accompanied Mr. and Mrs.
Ed R Hendershot as far as Ev
erett last Sunday when the Hen
dershots Went to Bedford to call
on sick relatives.
R. R Hann came very nearly
being elected justice of the peace
for this township at the recent
election. Pity he didn't get it,
so the "hard cider" gang would
have been routed. We hope that
Cleveland Mellott elect, will see
to it that the laws shall be obeyed.
The Lincoln Highway authori
ties have removed the stone
crusher and other machinery at
Stony Batter on Sideling Hill, to
McConnellsbarg. Now the ques
lion is, What will be done for the
sandy stretch of road from the
top of Sideling Hill to the sum
mit of Rays Hill the greatest
impediment to travel on all the
Highway across the State? Dur
ing wet weather this piece of
road becomes almost Impassable.
From a credible source, we
learn that Charlie H. Mann, of
Nt. Cloud, Florida, has been lying
jriously ill for five weeks with
i alarming fever, and is still
very low.
What Horsepower Is.
When we say that an engine
develops 100 horsepower we do
notmeau that 100 horses could
produce the same result. And,
as the editor of Power remarks,
there are few engineers who
could tell just how the term
"horsepower" came into use
Its origin is related in the fal
lowing quotation from "Farey on
the Steam Engine," published io
1827:
"The machinery in the great
breweries and distilleries in Lon
don was then moved by the
strength of horses, and the pro
prietors of those establishments
who were first to require Mr.
Watt's engines always inquired
what number of horses an in
tended engine would be equal to
"In conseqiience, Mr. Watt
made some expariments on the
strong hoses employed by the
brewers in London, and found
that a horso of that kind, walk
ing at the rate of 2 J miles per
hour, could draw 150 pounds av
oirdupois by - means ot a rope
passing over a pulley, so as to
raise up that weight, with a ver
tical motion, at the rate of 220
feet per minute. This exertion
of mechanical power is uqual to
33,000 pounds (or 528 cubic feet)
of water raised vertically through
a space of one foot per minute,
and he denominated it a horse
power, to serve for a measure of
the power exerted by his steam
engines."
This average is much beyond
the capacity of the average strong
horse, says Power. Smeaton and
other early engineers estimated
that 22,000 pounds per minute
was more accurate.

This year the conditions were
favorable for the growth of sweet
potatoes? and there was conse
quently an unusual production of
this vegetable. It is cheap and
nourishing, and becomes an ex
cellent food for mankind. Dr.
Surface says: "To keep sweet p( -tatoes
the two fundamental point
are to see to it that they are stor
ed where it is warm and also dry.
To prevent their drawing mois
ture from the atmosphere it is
well to wrap them each root in a
piece of paper, or pack them in
dry sand."

refined from the best petroleum, by
methods which get the utmost possible
out of the finest raw material this old
earth provides.
Used in a lamp it gives a soft yet brilliant
light. It will neither smell nor smoke. In
stove or heater it furnishes an intense
heat, but always at the lowest possible cost.
And because it's a highly refined kerosene,
it adds to the life of the device in which
it is used.
Include Atlantic Rayolight Oil in your
market list just as you do any other house

for it by name and you get a superior
kerosene that costs no more than the
nameless kind.
