There is snow and ice enough together to make- fairly good sleighing, and many farmers are taking advantage of the situation to haul in a nico lot of limestone and coal. There is a good deal of sicknesp in the cammunity at this time. The Stork visited the homes of esse Laidig and Dallas Brant re cently. Rev.

Some say Eve eight and Adam two a total of ten ooly. Now we figure the thing far differently: Eve eight and Adam eight total sixteen. We think the above figures are entirely wrong. If Eve eight and Adam eighty- two, certainly the total will be ninety. Scientific men, however, on the strength of:the theory that the antediluvians were a race of giants, reason snmething like this: Eve 81 and Adam 82-total 1G3. Wrong again. What could be clearer than if Eve 81 and Adam 812 the total was 891? I believe the following to be the true solution: Eve 814 Adam and Adam 8124 Eve-8938. Still another clculation is as follows: If Eve 814 Adam, Adam 81242 oblige Eve-total 82,065 The Three Partners. Bid COVE TANNERY. We are now having some win ter weather.

WHERE HE MADE HIS MISTAKE Would-Be Purchaser of Horgea Had Not Learned Everything to Be Known About Animal. "Slcel is now paying a big divi dend on the common stock' said Willnrd E. Straight of the Morgan firm, "and there are financiers, so called, who used to declare steel common was a 6vind!e. "A little knowledge, in finance as in other regions, is a dangerous thing. These chaps were a good deal like the retired hatter. "A rich retired hatter decided to set up a stable. Accordingly he dropped in on a boyhood friend, a harness dealer. " 'George,' ho said, Tm going to buy seme horses. Now, of course, I don't rant to have a lot of old Mcthusclahs foisted off on me. Tell me how I'll know how old the nags are when they're trotted out for my approval.' "'You tell a horse's ago by the teeth, Bob,' said the hariicss man. 'You see ' "But the halter was in a hurry, lie understood the dodge now. No use wasting any more time in the smelly harness shop. "'Thanks, George,' he said, and dashed off. "The next day a pair of perfect epoch horses were submitted to the hatter by a leading dealer. As the beautiful animals curvetted before him, he asked their price. "'About two thousand dollars,' said the dealer. "The hatter advanced, ne opened the horses' mouths. He studied their strong white teeth carefully. Then he gave a harsh laugh and said, as he wiped his hand on his handker chief : "'Take 'cm away. They're each thirty-two years of age.'

Though no one would wish to cast a smudge upon the lustrous fame of Jimmie Valentine, that great hero of melodrama, it must he admitted that his luurels have been endangered by the wonderful feat attributed to Ily nian Sugar, a mere youth of twenty, who was arraigned in court on a burglury charge. If the police are to be believed, this young man of the saccharine cognomen demonstrated not tily that he could get into a vault, hut get out of it after having been locked in. A watchman found Sugar in the vault and slammed the door shut. lie then went for the po lice. When they returned and opened the vault door there was no Sugar to be seen. The imprisoned youth hud worked on the outer door and had opened it and made his es cape. Sugar was captured later. New York Correspondence Pitts burgh Dispatch. A RESPITE.

"You know President WIlHon iK-gnn his career uh uu ItiNlnictor In o wom an's colU'Bc." 8iilil JiiHttno Crnddock, (W'lin of Jones' Oolli'Kf for Woini'ii, when Alnn Kill.y went to her olllee to consult her repir-llnn his acceptance of a portion Jimt offered him as tlio new professor of economics. Alnn hml pone to see her, partly be cause he had known her several years before when they were both students nt n co-ediicntlonul college In the Went, and partly beouu.se the offer at Jones college wuh distinctly better thnn the UKslHtant professorship he held In u man's college. "It doesn't stem like a niun's job," lie told her frankly, and she hud looked at him not with the amusement ho expected. "Hang It all, Justine, It's Just that 1 can't stand this blue-stocking atmos phere. I think It's that as much as anything else." "There are very few blue-stockings here." said Justine, "lu fuct, some times I wish there were more. Blue stockings have their good points, you know." "From a woman's point of view, per haps. ISut I'm primitive enough to like a feminine woman, and It goes against the grain to see these girls, some of them pretty, utmost all of them healthy and happy, being fed Into this mill, to have the woman and the femininity ground out. They ought to be umrrylng, most of them inurrylng und making men what they ought to be, and having children und keeping house." "Of courso you have never married yourself," suggested Justine. ."No, and when I do I shall not look to a woman's college for a wife. I'm not educated up to tliut yet." "From all of which, I suppose, I am to Infer that you, do not uccept the po sition?" "No. The fact Is, I think I do. It's too good to turn down." So Alan Kllhy became professor of economics at Jones. The first lucturo was more uncomfortable thnn he had expected It to be. As time went on the lectures were easier and Alan had time to look about him. Sometimes there were suppressed giggles, and some times three whispering heads heat to gether 111 the back rows of seats, un mindful of a word of the lecture un mindful, too,- that from the vuntugo point of his desk the professor could not only see them but could catch snatches of their whispered conversa tion. "If I do say It, I look awfully well In yellow," suld one whisper. "Not that lemon shade more of a salmon, don't you think?" "How long Is the skirt? They are getting longer." '1 know, but my Tom likes thorn short. Have you learned the new Bteps. No, that. new wlggly waltz step. I mean. Ho doesn't see us, and wo can get the notes from Idu." "Isn't he a perfect dear?" "Idu's quite cruzy about him. That's why she sits lu front and takes such long notes." And Inter: "Well, nnywuy, Kllhy's a denr. Lid you ever see such eyes?" Going down the corridor Inter In the day lie chanced the meet the deuu. "Good morning, II r. Kilhy," she said, always with the same serenity. "How are the blue stockings?" "Blue stockings," muttered Kllhy. "If there are any they haven't elected eco nomics." Kilby fled from the building to his own study In Ids hoarding house. There as he puffed at his comforting pipe lie took a leather picture cuse from his pocket and opened It. It contained a picture of the dean that ho had clipped from the magazine article on "The Youngest College Dean." The picture showed her In cup und gown, with none of the gruclousness and al most motherly large heartedness that Kilby had come to appreciate within the few weeks he had been at Jones. Still, he found satisfaction In looking ut the picture Just as a reminder, he suld, of the allegiance he owed to his chief. This day he looked at the pic ture longer than usual. "I've got to get u better picture," he told himself as he rose from his chair and hurried through the campus to the dean's ollice. But when he reached there he forgot the picture and thought only of the original." "How are the blue stockings?" nsked the dean, as she closed the papers she was working over at her desk and pre pared to take an easier chair by the open fireplace, where she might chat in comfort with Alan. "Blue stockings there aren't any," groaned Alan. "You're a blue stock ing, and they're they're Just girls. Listen, Justine, I've decided that the only typo of woman 1 truly admire Is n blue stocking. I used to think that that was the trait In you that kept us iipurt, hack lu the college, days when I was half In love Willi you all the time. But now I know that's what is drawing me to you." So It wns all because of Alan Kilhy that the youngest dean terminated her dcunship so soon, and gave up that cureer to be a professor's wife. "Who would ever have dreamed," said one of the girls, the day the an nouncement was made, "that n man with eyes like that would care for a blue stocking?"

(Continued from first page. ) the youngest and last member of the family, was a daughter of William and Nellie Snyder Pow ell, who owned and raised their family on the farm now owned by Alexander Mellott near Cen ter schoolhouse. Of the children who grew to manhood were Atchison R, Powell, who died on the 15th of last July, aged 70; Miss Hattie died on the 9th of last October, aged 74; John S., on the.l4th day of last month (January) aged 68, and Annie, the subject of this notice, on the 28th of January, aged 66. It is a remarkable co-incident that a whole family living to the age of these people should all pass away within a period of but little more than six months. Ralph F, Shore. After an illness of about two weeks, Ralph Fremont Shore died on Thursday, January 25, 1917, aged 24 years, 6 months and 11 days. The immediate cause of his death was" bronchial pneumo nia, following a severe cold, and probably superinduced by the in haling of ether while working at the powder plant at Mt. Union. His funeral services were con ducted by Rev. Weise who spoke with tenderness of this young man who was reared under the care of a Godly mother. Ralph, as he was familiarly known, was a son of G. B. and Myrtle Shore, and he was born near Oak Grove. During his last illness he suffered greatly, al though everything within the power of kind and loving hands was done for his comfort and restoration of health. He is sur vived by his parents and the fol lowing brothers and sisters: Vera employed in Huntingdon; Alice, May, and Raleigh at home.' The funeral took place on Sun day January 28th, and he was laid to rest in the cemetery at New Grenada. The large num ber of persons who attended the f jneral bore testimony of the es teem in which he was held in the community in which he had ived. W. M. Horton. William Marshall Horton, aged 9 years, 2 months, and 18 days, died at the home of his parents, Mr. and Mrs. John Horton at Broadtop City on Sunday, Janu ary 14, 19 '7. The funeral was held on the following Tuesday afternoon, the services being con ducted by their pastor, Rev. Gor man, of the M. E. church, and interment was made in the City cemetery. The cause of his death was an abscess on the brain. The Migratory Workers. The American Council of Mi gratory Workers of the World are to have a convention at Buf falo. Date is not just determin ed, as some of the members have to contend with the deplorable delays in freight service. Also the walking isn't good in winter. It seems strange that; the rail roads are so indifferent to the defects in the service rendered this class whom some are calling the gentlemen tramps. The migratory workers seem to take themselves seriously. They call themselves the reservp labor supply, which always has to be drawn upon for accumula tions of work. Crops would never be harvested but for them. Much can be said for the mi gratory worker. Seasonal work makes a desperate shortage in labor supply. If it were not for this great army of drifters, float ing from the wheat field to the snow shovel gang, a great deal of the world's work would remain undone. Even if these men should learn trades how on earth would the peak of the seasonal jobs be passed? But unevenness of employment is one of our great industrial evils. The long periods of idle ness demoralize the seasonal workers. With a bit of reserve gained on the harvest field those of a roving nature are tempted to indulge their wanderlust. Thus there grows up a vast class, part working, part tramping, on the border line between industry and vagrancy. Part time workers are a vast reserve of human capital lying half idle. Machinery will have to be depended on to perform much of the seasonal work now handled bv the roving immi grants. With all the farms well equipped with labor saving de vices, the annual call for harvest hands would be less desperate. Perhaps then some of these ro vers would settle down to business. Tlie Farm Loan Bonds. A new form of investment will soon be offered in the form of mortgages on the property hand led by the new farm loan banks. Whether these bonds bring good prices or not depends wholly on the way these loans are handled, and whether they are supervised in a way to give general confi dence. . It would be a very easy thing for these new bonds to get a black eye. A few repudiated debts, a few poorly supervised loan associations and word would spread all over the country that the new form of investment is not safe. As a consequence borrowers might have to pay quito as high for their money as they do under the present plan. The reason why farm loans at present bring high rates of in terest is that in the past there have been so many losses. In vestors may not discriminate carefully, but then they are in no position to do so. The fact that a man's father, in the de pression of 20 years ago, may have lost a thousand dollars an a loan on an arid tract in one state should not diicourage his son from making a loan to some fert ile farm in a wholly different section. But the son, living perhaps a thousand miles from the spot where the loan is located is in no position to discriminate. His father's experience has made him cautious. Many experiences like that have served to raise the rate of farm loan interest aH over the country. The directors of the new farm loan associations have a very serious responsibility. Unless these directors really direct, the whole thing will be a failure. They should give some personal attention to the work, else money will surely be loaned out on poor security or to men who will let the valueof their farms run down. No director can assure the pros perity and the solidity of his in stitution merely by going to the annual meeting once a year, sit ting in a stuffed chair and listen ing to the report of the manager. Do You Know? Do you know that warm air can be as pure as cold? Do you know that a window open an inch, with the wind blowing thirty miles an hour and with the outdoor temperature 20 or 30 deg. F. below the initial in door temperature, will renew the air in a bedroom more quickly than a wide open window on a hot, still summer night? Do you know that a sleeping porch or veranda, inclosed in winter and provided with a gas stove may contain more impure air than a well heated and venti lated living room? Do you know that the average healthy physician, compelled to deep on a cot in a tent during a snow or rain storm, will forget all about the pneumococcus and insist that he is going to have pneumonia? Do you know that about all the positive advice we can give to prevent the development of car eer is: 1. Do not keep picking at a wart or mole, but have it n -moved; 2. do not allow any soum of continually repeated mechan ical irritation to remain; 3. do not take up X-ray or radium work; 4. do not bear children; 5. do nit live more than forty years? Do you know that the rural death rate is higher and the rural birthrate lower than the urban, at least for New York state? Do you know that a law closing all public restaurants would com pel every man to set up house keeping or starve? You don't? Then why do you think the same kind of legislation would settle the alcohol and social evils? The Heme Store as a Time-Saver. The people who travel off to some distant city on a shopping trip don't figure much on the value of their time. Neither do they count leg weariness as any thing. They will tramp all over a city, shopping from one widely separated store to another. Then they finally turn up at home with just the same articles they could have bought of the home mer chant.
