Beans are always in greatest demand in war time, says J. R. Bechtel of the Pennsylvania Bute College. The present world conflict is causing' such de mands for beans that the prices are more than 5C0 per cent his-har than they were before O - the war. Reasons why Pennsylvania should produce mors beans are that they are profitable, they can be grown on any good corn and potato soil, they do well in a ro tation with corn, wheat and hay, they do not require a great amonntof labor and they are highly nutritious, making an ex cellent substitute for meat. Soil for beans sh:uld be well drained and thoroughly prepar ed before planting. If sod is plowed under, no fertiliser ia needed on good soil other than 200 to 300 pounds of acid phos phate each year. The t ea or navy bean is best for fl. 1 Dlantinjr. About three peck re required to plant a acre w'uh rows twenty-eight inches apart. Planting should take place between June 1 aud June 25. Seed should be free from disease. All discolored seed beans should be discarded, as they carry the anthraconse disease which cannot be control!' ed except by seed collection. Good growers commonly se cure a yield of twenty to thirty bushels an acre with cost of p ro duction varying from $35 to f 5 an acre. With beans whoiesal ing at the present time for $10 a bushel and no prospects of a great reduction, Perjuaylvania should consider devokir g, at lesel a small area to this crop. Regulation Without Political Animus Needed if Railroads Are to Prosper Br IVY LLEE Formt Amuat to Praulent el PcamjlvuU RtHrotd BUILDING With a lieutenant's commission, Dr. R. W. McKibbin, who ten dered his service to the U. S. Gov ernment recently, was ordered to report in Chicago on the 26th of January, for active service. Dr. McKibbin has seen several years of army experience, having served in the Philippines. The Doctor is a son of George, W. McKibbin, of Hancock, and a son-in-law of our townsman David M. Kendall. Industries may meet enlarged expenses by charging higher prices for their products and thus enlarge their profits more and more as pros perity increases. But the railroad, no matter what the demand for its product, must hold its prices stationary and in seasons of greatest pros perity see its profits crumble before a rising tide of costs. The railroads are doing all tho business they can possibly handle. But facilities are woefully inadequate. The disparity between facilities available and traffic presented is becoming greater every day. Fewer macs of railroad were constructed in this country in 1915 wan in any year since the Civil war.

FA52RNEY The Conservation of Meat is Urged for Reasons of Health, No Less Than of Patriotism. The . time is passed when intelligent people give the baby a piece of fat becon to suck, and feed themselves on food soaked in grease; they would be horri fied by a suggestion so fraught with the idea of the slums and the mountain fastnesses of Kentucky. But in metropolitan and dining rooms they still in clude in a single meal sucn food as oysters, fish, gime roast, and cheese.

Owing to tbe windy weather and tba snows, it keeps oar road men busy opening roads, and trying to get back home without getting snowed nnder. HenrySharp and Lizzie Mellott spent Sunday evening at George Mellott's. Mrs-Amanda Hart and son Marshall spent Sunday with Mrs Betta Hess"in Pigeon Cove. Willie Welsh has traded bis span of mules for a large team and is making use of them by hauling for Roy Bitcbey. Albert Layton, near Breeze- wood, was seen going through the Cove last Saturday enroute toNeedmore. Sherman Truax while out fox hunting last week lost two valu able dogs. Lloyd, Sam, and Herman Welsh spent Saturday with their brott er Willie of this place. Edward Diehl is busy hauling ties to Hancock when the roads are fit M. B. Mellott made a business . trip to Everett and Bedford on Monday. Mrs. Wilbur Deshong is on the tick list. Tho aiujT.ver to the question how business will be after the war depends to a great extent upon how long the war continues. If it lasts another six months, it would be one thing, and if it lasts another two years it would be anoth'er, and so on. Tbe clear course ahead of the bankers,. though, is a mobilization of our ge'ld. It has been the bridge in the past and will be the bridge in the future, no matter if some one of the foreign governments does demon etiye gold for the payment of its debts, which I consider extremely unlikely from the present viewpoint. The country now has more gold than any other country in the world, and we have more than we ever had before. We must rely upon it. The federal reserve law offers a mobilization scheme so that we can have our gold when and where it will be needed, most I am strongly of the opinion that the trust companies and the state banks will be taking a big responsibility upon their shoulders if they refuse to join the system and deposit their reserves. Other types of roads when treated ns we treat the earth roads are much more expensive and serve the traveling public little If any better. The vast Improvement thut can be made on our present earth roads by Intelligent di rection In their construction and main tenance Is little realized by the pub lic, and the serviceability of a prop erly mnlntuined earth .roud Is not ap preciated when compared with other types of roads as to cost of construc tion. "Successful construction and moln- tennnce of ony kind of a road depends upon the recofiIUon by the public and the builders of a few fixed and funda mental requirements. "One practical, well-paid road build er should be made responsible for the upkeep of a certain section of road and should be employed throughout ,the year, his tenure of office being made dependent entirely upon the character of services rendered. The graded portion of the road should be elevated and crowned so that the wa ter from every section of the road surface will flow Into the side ditches." WE1.U TANNERY.

HIGHER COST OF BAD ROADS Substantial Reasons Why Farmer Should Get Together1 and Save Cost of Poor Highways. The road that connects your farm with the nearest town has more to do with the cost of living, doubtless, tlinn you realize. Have you ever thought that every product you sell and every article you buy must be hauled over the road; that ymir teams and vehicles or your automobile must benr the "wear and tear" caused by a rough road to Rell farm products or to bring the necessities from the town? The fuct thnt your neighbor must also pay the high cost of bad roads is all the better reason why you, he and the rest of the neighborhood should get together and Improve the road to save Borne of this expense. What you and your neighbors lose In hauling furra products over bad roads would soon build a good rond and give you oulck and satisfactory service. How long can you afford such loss! And when shall the roud be improved? Increased Expenditures. In 1004 the actuul cash road and bridge expenditure in the United States averaged slightly less than $28 per mile of rurnl roads. In 1015 the cash rond and bridge expenditure -had increased to an average of $109 per mile of road.
