i To-day many of our roads carry
a motor traffic far in excess of
all classes carried 12 years ago.
At the present time there are
about 2,500,000 motor vehicles in
use on our public roads, or about
one motor vehicle for every mile
of road.
- Rife's woods southeast of
Spring Grove, Pa., is the roost
ing place for many thousands of
crows. A frequenter of the tim
berland claimed that more than
100,000 of the birds make their
home there. In the morning
shortly before sunrise, their caw
ing can be heard at long dis
tances. It is said by people re
siding in the vicinity that when
anyone goes through the woods
at night and strikes a match the
crows rise from the trees in mas
ses. Persons in the vicinity as
sert that they never have seen an
equal number of crows roost in
one place.
Nothing to Worry Abort
"Oh, George!" sobbed the
bride after the ceremony, "I
have a confession to make. I
ha e always been afraid to tell
you that I don't know how to
cook.''
That'll be all right," replied
George. "With the salary I'm
making we'll never have any
thing to cook. "From the Cin
cinnati Enquirer.

Winter Poaltf j Mean.
Sprouted oats, cabbage or man
gels for succulence should sup
plement the grain feed given to
poultry, especially during the
winter season. To sprout oats,
they should be soaked in luke
warm water for 24 hours and
spread out in shallow box in lay
er one inch deep. The oats should
not be fed until it is four to five
inches high. About one square
inch per hen daily, is the amount
recommended for feeding by the
Pennsylvania State College. If
the oats mold, ten drops of for
maldehyde should be added to a
bucket of water when the oats
are soaked. Cabbage and man
gels should be suspended by a
rope or wire so that the hens will
secure exercise in jumping for
them. Grit and oyster shell
should be kept in hoppers or box
es at all times. Granulated char
coal is beneficial in absorbing
gases and correcting disorders of
the digestive system in hens. It
may either be mixed with mash
or fed alone in hoppers.

Does His Duty.
There is an assessor in a neigh
boring county that is certainly
doing business with a proper
spirit When he goes out to as
sess and three or four dogs meet
him at the gate he proceeds calm
ly to the proprietor of the farm,
makes his assessment and asks
how many dogs he has. If the
proprietor says he has none, and
that a few dogs just "hang
around the place" Mr. Assessor
just pulls out a revolver and
speedily dispatches the canines
in sight He says he may not be
elected assessor again but he is
going to get the dog tax of his
township while he is on the job.
The Inducement to Easiness Ability.
A Socialist member has intro
duced into the Pennsylvania
Legislature a bill placing a grad
uated tax on incomes so that no
one would ever receive more than
$10,000 a year. This is typical
of a type of proposition that is
growing more and more common.
The federal income tax has al
ready been increased. Efforts
to advance it still further will
certainly be made.
The Scriptures lay down the
proposition that to whom much is
given, of him shall much be re
quired. The man of wealth gain
ed his dollars not wholly by his
own industry. He had given to
him a higher degree of power
and skill. In so far as this was
inborn, he is entitled to no credit
for it and should be willing to
contribute according to his abil
ity to pay.
But we must be careful not to
kill the goose that lays the gold
en egg. Savage tribes live ac
cording to Socialistic principles
with their property in common.
They don't rise to civilization
until they are willing to encour
age individual initiative. The
moment they give a man what
he earns that moment education
becomes posible and human com
forts multiply.
The able business executive
pays his way, if he is honest A
good manager can double the
production of a loosely run plant
It is a business proposition to
let him keep his small proportion
of the profits even if it does make
him wealthy. However he can
afford to pay heavily toward
taxes and should give liberally to
all philanthropies.
A heavy tax on wealth is legit
imate provided it does not check
business enterprise and discour
age men of superior ability from
exercising those powers. But
the public should see that there
is a limit beyond which taxes
would not be profitable to the
community.

ROBERT G. ALEXANDER, Teller.
Began as Schoolteacher.
It is not necessarily surprising
but of every given profession,
former or present, schoolteachers
predominate among the popular
writers of today. . Among those
who have deserted their former
work for the more congenial and
profitable work of writing are
James Lane Allen, who was a
public school teacher and lates a
professor of Latin in a small
college. Parker Filmore was a
goverment teacher in the Phil
ippines. Frances Hodgson Burn
ett was a country school teacher
on a small salary when she be
gan writing stories, and rumor
has it that the stamps with which
her first contributions were sent
away were money obtained from
picking berries. She found a
timely and . valued friend in
Charles J. Peterson of Philadel
phia who paid her liberally for
her writing and gave her a chance
to get before the public.
Itysical Training aod Business Sacess.
College life is looked at by the
ordinary run of people as a soft
snap, a sheltered, protected leis
urely life. It is thought of as a
kind of intellectual Pullman car,
in which professors and tutors
pull their relaxed passengers
over all the heavy grades of
learning. Yet the college stud
ent can be strenuous enough for
the causes that he holds dear.
He may not burn much mid
night electricity. But if he is
playing on a 'varsity team he
will submit to a code of rules
that the ordinary boy would call
barbarous.
Looking over the regulations
for a college team, it was noted
the other day that the boy must
be in bed at 10 P. M. Sweets,
fried foods and many other com
monplaces of the dinner table,
were cut out Not many young
men in business would thus limit
themselves for the price of bus
iness success.
Business failures are very apt
to be due to physical causes.
People can't stand the strain of
worries and rush times. Just on
the point of gripping that slip
pery and elusive creature Success
the coy and treacherous prize
slips out of their weary grasp.
The sanitariums ere filled with
business men taking baths and
massage and osteopathy because
their nerves went bad.
Of course people won't hold
themselves down to strict rules
of living. And a routine life
with no breaks is not wholesome
in the lor z run. Butmostyoung
men are far too Careless in these
matters. They feed themselves
as if they had the stomachs of a
camel. They sit up to all hours
as making them out for gay
sports and young bloods. But
that game can be played only
about so far. It has its sharp
limits, as they all find out A
little more of the spirit of the
college training table would do
them a lot of good.
