The mild open winter has play
ed the dickens with prices on
horse blankets, overcoats and
other winter supplies up at the
Racket Store. They might have
been kept up if the prices could
have been placed in cold storage,
but not being prepared for an
omergency like this, they have
been obliged to see the prices on
these goods just melt away from
day to day, until the pries is so
small now that you have to find
it with a magnifying glass.

Plymouth Rocks.
Moses Miller, near Mercers
burg, pins his faith to the barred
Plymouth Rock, especially the
"Ringle" strain. He sold thirty
two that weighed 220 pounds
four pounds short of an average
of seven pounds to the hen. Can
any one beat this ? Mr. Miller al
so says that he has not depleted
his stock; has plenty left to sup
ply all demands.
OLDER BUT STRONGER
To be healthy at seventy, prepare at
forty, is sound advice, because in the
strength of middle life we too often forget
that neglected colds, or careless treat
ment of slight aches and pains, simply
undermine strength and briug chronic
weakness for later years.
To be stronger when older, keep yonr
blood pure and rich and active with the
strength-building and blood-notirisliing
properties of Scott's Kmulsion which isa
fixxi, a tonic and a medicine to keep your
bluod rich, alleviate rheumatism and
avoid sickness. No alcohol in Scott's.

State Agricultural Notes.
Statistics show that 22,608 au
tomobiles are owned by the farm
ers of the State. The counties
showing the estimated largest
number of car3 are: Lancaster,
1,812; Chester, 1,019; Bucks, 9G3
York, 846; Erie, 826, Allegheny,
715; Montgomery, 723; Berks,
J95; Bradford, 610; Somerset 629
Washington, 569; Crawford, 568.
Reports from crop correspon
dents show that four per cent, of
the corn remains unhusked.
Practically all the corn is husked
in Adams, Berks, Centre, Cum
berland, Dauphin, Franklin, Lan
caster, Lebanon, Lehigh, Lycom
ing, McKean, Monroe, North
hampton, Pike, Potter, Schuyl
kill, Snyder, Susquehanna, Tioga
Union, Wayne and York coun
ties.
The counties showing more
than ten per cent, of corn to be
husked are; Beaver, Bradford,
Cameron, Allegheny, Greene and
Westmoreland.
Wheat is reported in poor con
dition in Montour, Juniata and
Northumberland counties and is
above the average in Armstrong,
Bedford, Centre, Erie, Fayette,
Greene, Indiana, Monroe, North
hampton, Somerset, Susquehan
na, Washington, Westmoreland
and Wyoming counties.
Corn in the crib is reported
above average in Allegheny, Bed
ford, Carbon, Centre and Snyder
counties.
The winter 'rye is above aver
age condition in Centre, Fayette,
Greene, Monroe, Susquehanna,
Westmoreland, Wyoming, and
York counties.
Farmers' Institutes will be held
next week in Dauphin, Blair,
Armstrong, Warren and Bucks
counties.
Prosecutions for the sale of
cold storage eggs as fresh eggs
and not labeled as required by
the law have been instituted in
Chester, Montgomery and West
moreland counties. The recent
victory of the Department of Ag
riculture in the Blair county
courts shows that the chemists
cf the Dairy and Food Division
have established a standard of
analysis to determine the age of
in egg.
The Curse of Missions.
In China the government is
careful to label all poisons and it
is stated that the liquor shipped
from this country is labeled "The
Jesus Poison."
The English gove r n m e n t,
through its agents in some places
in India and elsewhere, has been
known to forbid the organization
of temperance societies, as these
societies interfere with the liquor
traffic.
In Japan drunkenness was
practically unknown until after
the revolution of 1868, and now
when a drunken man is seen on
the street the natives say, "Here
comes a Christian."
The primitive races of Africa,
owing to their lack of self-control,
have been sadly debauched
wherever they have been exposed
to this touch of "civilization."
By an agreement among the lead
ing nations of the world, known
as the "Brussels Act," which
went into effect in 1901, the ship
ment of liquor into Africa was
prohibited between the 20th de
gree north latitude and the 22d
degree south latitude. Unfortu
nately the colonial governments
have been unable, as yet, to en
force this act very strictly.
As an Instance of the enormous
trade carried on in Africa, it is
stated that in the district of
Sierra Leone, during one-fourth
of a year, 250 tons of liquor were
unloaded at a "dry town" to be
transported to towns in the in
terior. An increase in the price of li
quor has a tendency to reduce
consumption, and if the liquor
shipped from America was re
quired to pay the regular United
States tax it would reduce if not
entirely stop the export trade, and
the grain and other foodstuffs
now worse than wasted in the
manufacture of liquor for export
would be diverted to other uses.

Miss Lillian Fleming, of Clear

ing the last few years, spent her
mid-winter vacation in Canada,
but she has just returned to he r
work at Lignite, a town about 20
miles south of the Canadian bor
der, having a latitude about
GOO miles farther north than Mc
Connellsburg. Miss Fleming says
they have had a very severe win
ter until within the last few days.
Lots of snow, and a practically
continuous blizzard. During the
little cold snap we had here a few
days ago, the mercury dropped to
GO below at Lignite. Even those
people who have lived there sev

an unusually cold winter. Well,
McConnellsburg is cold enough

Why Men Are Bali
In the February American Mag
azine Dr. Arthur R. Reynolds,
former Health Commissioner of
Chicago, gives the following rea
son for baldness:
"The hats that men wear are
the cause of their baldness above
the hat line. Women also wear
hats, but their hats are fastened
to their hair and do not grip the
head as men's hats do. All other
causes of baldness such as infec
tions, seborrhea, etc., affect both
exes alike and are, in' fact, more
difficult to treat locally in women
than in men because of their long
hair.
"How does the hat affect the
growth of hair in man? Ey com
pressing the arteries", the veins,
the lymphatics, and to some ex
tent the nerves that supply and
nourish the hair. It is not be
cause the hat is hard or Boft or
that it keeps the head too hot. It
is because the hat band compres
ses the vessels and Btarves the
roots of the hair. Caps may do
the same thing, but caps as a rule
Jo not grip the head so tightly as
hats do.
"Baldness usually begins at the
summit of the crown toward the
back part, at the distant and weak
er part of the vessels furnishing
the circulation. In such cases
the pressure has been on the ves
sels on the side of the head.
Sometimes the baldness begins
above the forehead and is the
high forehead type of baldness.
In these cases the pressure has
been upon the vessels of the fore
head. Sometimes the head is
bald low down in the back where
the pressure has been upon the
vessels in this region. When the
head is completely bald on top
the pressure has been on the en
tire vascular supply of the scalp."
