Potato Acreage Decreased.
i. only five counties of tt
S-atd ha- there been an itcrea
in the acreazo of potatoes thi
SfRson, and from present Mi
cati'-n t,p crop will f.iU from vx
to ten million bushels sbor l of ibt
record breaking production ol
80 653,209 bushels on the far irf
last year.
The low price offered for pota
toes this spring a ffticted the acre
age alversdv, though not to the
extent that was gene: ally auticl
patod. It appears that the de
cline has been largely am nag the
small growers as potito growing
is a regular rotation with large
growers who follow out their ap
p'opriated acreage each. year.
The total area planted top"ti
toes this year is L94 935 acres ac
compared with 308,140 acres U
yeir. The present forecast is
that the average yield per acrp
will be about 82 bushels, but
many reports of damages bj
blight, tip burn and the extreme
d.y weather in some section
may seriously affect the crop.
Last year the average yield to the
acre was 99.5 bushels and this
year the forecasts indicate a yield
of about 24,000,000 bushels.
The counties which show, an
increased acreage on the farms
over hut year are Blair, Fjrest,
Northampton. Pike atid West

Goodbye Party.
On Tuesday evening of last
week a number of people as
sembled at the home of Nelson
Daniels in honor of the departure
of his son George for Camp Lee.
Refreshments in the form of an
abundance of good ice cream and
cuke were served and a very en
joyable evening was spent
Among those present were Mr.
and Mrs. Wilson Roudabush and
sons John and George, Charles
Hess, wife and son Clyde; Mr.

Hill Property Improved.
After having put in a concrete
dam a few years ago, James John
son, has made further improve
ments to his valuable mill proper
ty inThomps n o mhip, by hav
ing constructed a pen-stock, fore-
bay, and a fine turbine wheel
installed. The work which is
very satisfactory was in charge
of Harry Esminger, a skillful
millwright at Foltz, Franklin
County.
I 8aw In the Paper.
"I have Just foamed of a new way
to remove a scorch from linen," said
the womun who studies the papers.
"I'm olwaya scorching mine; tell me
a hour It," requested the woman who
did not know.
"It Is a little troublesome at first
Tou put two ounces of fuller' earth
Into a pan, add hulf an ounce of white
eonp, the Juice of two large onions
and half a pint of vinegar. Tou boll
this together for a few minutes, then
you put In a covered vessel for fu
ture UMe. When you have a acorch, you
spread thin mixture on It with a knife.
Let It dry on the cloth and the ataln

Business Courtesy. '
A business man rises to welcome his
wife or a womun friend or a woman
relative who visits him at his office,
but he doe's not rise to greet his ste
nographer or other womnn employees.
No business woman Is Justified In re
senting this distinction. The custom
cannot be construed to mean that the
man does not respect his women em
ployees highly. It simply means that
In the business world, as nowhere
else, women and men are all human
beings working together, and on much
the same plane of courtesy.
An Aphorism Falls Down.
Genius has not yet been able to
otter an aphorism that would hold good
la every Instance. "Familiarity breeds
contempt," they say. Every notable
poet, essayist or artist whatsoever has
left a tribute to his mother, either by
personal tribute, or dedication or
through symbolism, of love for his
mother. Yet no other mun has ever
found such expression, however sub
lime, that could measure up to his
own Idea of his mother's virtues. And
where Is familiarity so pronounced as
between mother and son! Seattlo

Ornamental Trees.
As nrnamentnl trees the Tnpnnese
and Chinese persimmons are entitled
to high rank. When the trees are In
full leaf they are hnndsonie without
other adornment. The trees loaded
with orange and orange-red fruits are
among the most striking objects In
the garden. All thrive In California,
and not elsewhere except In some
southern states.
Interesting Discovery.
The Itoninn occupation of England
was recoiled by a discovery made a
few days ago nt Stalbrldge, Dorset.
Working In bis garden, a man dug up
a skeleton. Exnmlnlng It be found It
to be In a perfect state of preserva

STOPS CRACKS IN CONCRETE
Application of Floor Dressing Paint
Will Keep surface
Untcarred.
One of the chief causes of crack
ing in concrete surfaces is tho pres
ence of moisture in the surrounding
atmosphere, says a large manufac
turer. In the warm months this
moisture has no detrimental effect,
but in, winter it collects in the tiny
pores of the concrete and freezes.
With its concurrent expansion this
exerts a pressure on the surrounding
concrete and causes tiny cracks to
appear. These cracks in turn fill
with moisture and the chipping ac
tion continues until spring comes
with its higher terupcrp.rjre. This
chipping and cracking of the Bur
face of the concrete detracts both
from the appearance and strength of
the concrete.
A sure way to prevent this de
structive action is to coat tho con
crete surface with a floor dressing
paint. This preserves the texture
and individuality of the concrete and
prevents moisture penetrating the
surface. If new concrete floors art
covered with two coats of this paint
and recoated at intervals of about
six months, the concrete surfact
will remain unscarred and without
cracks.
TALK IT OVER WITH CHILD
Discussion of Problems of Conduct Is
Best Method of Gov
ernment, A parent who has not tried to
solve problems of conduct by dis
cussion with his children has not
governed them in the best way.
Again, a parent who has not learned
to restrain his own views on ques
tion affecting the members of the
family while he listens to the view!
of his children has missed the great
est pleasure to be derived from being
a parent Anyone who is not an
autocrat will find only delight in ob
serving how his children's mind?
work on the difficulties wlu'ch art
encountered in the management of
the home. He will be exhilarated
when he sees how their views enlarge
every day as they develop, and how
they gradually get their selfish de
sires under control so that they can
appreciate and observe principles ol
right and justice and fair play
themselves and insist upon others
observing them'. A parent who is s
bully never can get an insight intc
"his children's thoughts about con
duct and so he can never know what
fine 6port it is to be a parent.

( IN LIFE'S SILENCES.
Character comes by doing what j
ought to be done and resisting what
ought not to be done, when no out
sider is looking. It L quite true,
and happily true, tha life is not
lacking in the inspirations thai, come
from tbe sense of being observed, oi
in the restraints imposed by thr real
ized concern of watchful well-wishers.
It is a blessed aid over hard
places that in the nick of need some
one is looking on to say an encour
aging word. It is a blessed cheer I
through durk places that a warning
voice reminds of lurking danger. '
But for such timely voices many oi
us would have yielded to temptation,
to our hurt and loss. Nevertheless, '
character gets fixed in the silences oi
life, when no man is near, when no
voices either to warn or to cheer are
heard savo only the voice within.
AWFUL POSSIBILITY.
A smart little girl of three is th
delight of a family for her prcttinest
as well as for the bright and odd
things she says. The other dsy at
a company of soldiers passed dowo
the street in front of Iter home
her little black-and-tan barked furi
ously through the windowpane at
them.
The wee girl rose in alarm and
eaid : "Shut the door, mamma I Fido

"I'm afraid Wiggins' patriotism

"Why?

who was so popular in Crimson

I "He is still gettin' rich dispensin'

Teeth o Blame.
The worst criminals seem to be the
teeth. The Tarts Medical takes a nevf
i fling at them, blaming them for sins
usually charged to wronged, misjudged
I tuberculosis. "Hnude Insists that with

BOY-
SCQUTS
(Conducted by National Council of the
Boy Scouti of America.)
SCOUTS LEARN LIFE'S FIGHT
Every pnrent who has been con
demned by his offspring to read out
long disquisitions from The Swiss
Family Koblnson" on the simple and
satisfactory pastime of being cast away
Is entitled to a grim appreciation of
the tale of tho lost souls of Cliperton
Island. Thcso poor Mexicans did not
find life on a lonely strand us gay and
comfortable as did those marvelous
Swiss, says an editorial In the New
York Tribune.
Set face to face with nature, unas
sisted by any tools of civilization, they
failed to make a living, quite as you
and I would probably all. Most of
them died of scurvy or starvation.
Given paradise, precious few mod
ems could do more than skimp along.
We are highly educated by comparison
with less learned centuries, but not
educated at all In tho raw business of
Kqucczlug life out of a reluctant Moth
er Nuture. Tho furmer's boy would
do better than soma on a desert ls
lund. Tho plulnsnmn would do best
of ull. Most of us would die of starva
tion before we could remember bow to
make a lire with sticks or Invent u
flshllne or plant a lust peck of pota
toes so they would grow.
' The Hoy Scouts are putting some
rudimentary sense buck Into coruiiitf
(feneration, l'erhuph, also, umversul
jiillltury training may help. All mod'
rt-rn educutlon Is bused on the notion
xhut actuul contuct with tho hard facts
of life has been neglected and Is both
interesting and useful. A little pruc
itlcal training In how to wrestle with
it ho world with bare hands would be
equully good for both bands and souls.
; MINERS PRAISE BOY SCOUT8.
Following an address by H. W.
Wester, tho new executive ut IMrmlng
ham, Abu of tbo Iloy Scouts of Amer
ica, the United Mine Workers of Alu
buma passed the following resolution:
"Ho It resolved, That the convention
of United Mine Workers union dele
gates do hereby heartily Indorse the
Hcheme of the Hoy Scouts of America
lis laid down by tho national headquar
ters of tho organization, and urge that
our members encourage their boys to
Join this movement, which hus for Us
purpose the making of men und for its
creed the upbuilding of good citizen
ship, good-fellowship und pure democ
racy." All of the hundreds of thousands In
terested In the Hoy Scouts will be glud
to- know that the Mine Workers have
come to realize that there Is und can
bo no untugoulsm between the Ideuls
of organized labor and those of the
Scout movement.
This change of attitude Is revealed
In a letter which was sent to the offi
cers and members of tho organization
from tbe headquarters In Indlauapolls.
"U. 8. BOY SCOUT" SUIT.
The Boy Scouts of America hns no
time nor desire to Interfere with any
organization which Is helping boys.
All the boys In all the boys' organiza
tions In the country form only a small
percentage of the boys who need di
rection In their activities and charac
ter development, says Scouting. There
Is plenty of room for every legitimate
and useful .boys' organization.
Scout ofllclals should help to make
It clear to the public that this Is not
a row between rival organizations. It
Is an attempt to protect boys from be
ing misled and to protect contributors
against the possibility of having funds
Intended for the support of the gen
uine Hoy Scout movement used for
onic other purpose. '
The counsel of tho Boy Scouts of
America Is former Justice Charles K.
Hughes. The Hoy Scouts of America
bus a federal charter, and Its uniform
1s safeguarded by the army reorgani
zation luw.
SCOOTS GOOD TO VETERANS.
When tho fifty-first onnunl state
encampment of tbe Grand Army of the
Itepubllc, Department of Wisconsin,
was held In Kenosha, Wis., not a train
entered tbo city, not a meeting was
held nor nn entertainment given with
out Hoy Scouts being on bund to ren
der any necessary service.
SCOUT BOOKS FOR SOLDIERS.
i
The soldiers who are guarding the
bridges npd other public utilities
throughout the country would undoubt
edly be glad to receive through Scout
troops magazines whose first readers
have no further use for them.
AMONG THE SCOUTS.
Omaha (Neb.) Boy Scouts visited
40,000 houses and collected $8,000 In
Ited Cross campaign.
Comfort bugs to the number of 112
were made by the Providence (It. L)
Boy Scouts for tho members of the
coast artillery.
In tbe recent Liberty lonn bond cam
paign Hoy Scout Troop No. 00 of Cleve
land, O., visited over 6,000 homes and
collected $1,00D,350 In subscriptions.
There are 48 Scouts In tho troop, und
40 took part In tho campaign.
To Reduce Flesh.
To reduce superflunnsfat you must
work. Your pnth will Wind through
wuiny In nes of self-sacrifice before your
mirror will give buck the coveted wil
lowy Image. Tour attainment of the
Ideal will mean hot work, too, for
vigorous exercise Is necessary. A dally
walk of Ave miles should not be ex

Give a fair trial to the tonic baths so
