new Lochrie Mine, at Reitz, Somerset
county, was shipped last week. The
new railroad spur has just boen com-
pleted and the operators are much in-
terested in the initial shipment. It is
said that the company has some big
orders on its books and that there is
a prosperous time ahead ef the new
mining village.

After being held a prisoner, with
one of his legs tightly fastened in a
chain mining machine far down in the
Gahagan mine at Arrow this County
for more than 11 hours, Thomas
McCape, a workman, was extricated
at 2 o’clock Friday morning by expert
welders sent there from Johnstown.
While McCabe suffered terrible agony
he was game to the finish and retain-
ed his nerve more successfully than
the workman who made desperate eff-
orts for 10 hours to release him. A
fire was built near him to keep him
warm. He was fed twice and despite
the fact that he was suffering terribly
he ate. He also smoked several cigar-
ettes. When released he was taken at
once to the Windber hospital.

“I will not!” stated Whingle, firmly
and coldly.
Mrs. Whingle went on with her din-

“And I think I'll let them come here
next time. The curtains are just back
from the cleaners and everything is

“You may be going to meet at the

quite as much when he gazed on me

who did the twinkle last winter should
have been taken and tenderly shot.
“The twinkle is a pastime for babes,
but not for adults,” continued Whingle.
“When it came to the pompous tango I
felt just as much at home as would an
elephant trying to skip lightly from
crag to crag. I smothered my feelings
for your sake and suffered agonles,
slightly relieved because all the other
fat men of my age looked just as siily

“This hasn’t anything at all to do
with the dancing class this winter!”
insisted Mrs. Whingle. “They aren’t
doing any of those dances now!”
“I know it!” growled Whingle. “Oh,
I'm wise! The dancing teachers have
to earn money to take them on vaca-
tions to Palm Beach and Europe, so
they've sprung a lot of new ones! I
saw that card the other day that our

a hobbyhorse canter without pausing
in your demon career? Remember,
I'm a director on several boards and
our living depends on my sustaining a
reputation for being a man of sanity.”
“Pooh,” said Mrs. Whingle. “All the
other directors will be experts in the
new dances before you quit talking
this nonsense! You're just lazy and
you've got to come along with me, so
now! If you dance hard enough, youll
get thin!”

stubbornly.

Unnecessary
An actress took a hen with her on
her latest ocean voyage, the idea be-
ing of course, that in addition to pro-
viding the enterprising young lady
with a few extra press notices the hen
would supply her with fresh eggs on
the voyage.
The incident has recalled a story
connected with Cecil Rhodes, who al-
ways took one or two hens with him
on his many long voyages between
England and the Cape.
Another well-known South African
who had frequently made the trip in
the same vessel as Rhodes, was asked
why he, too, did not take some hens
with him.
“It isn’t necessary,” he said. “You
see, I always tip ®he man who looks
after Rhodes’ hens and I get the eggs.”

Spraying the Farm Orchard
The subject of spraying of fruit
trees is one that has been before the
public mind for a great many years,
but it seems that there are many per-
sons owning small orchards who ap-
parently do not place any value upon
Years ago
work and early came to the conclusion
that it was one of the most profitable
operations connected with successful
orcharding.
Owing to the increase of the many
diseases and injurious insects affect-
ing the apple, it was at ome time
thought by many fruit growers that
.the apple industry was dcomed unless
some effective means of control could
be secured. Fortunately, effective
methods, were recommended to the
fruit grower for the control of these
enemies, and the more progressive
fruit growers throughout the country
‘were quick to make use of these sug-
gestions.
The owner of the small home or-
chard felt that the trouble of protect-
ing his trees was greater than the
results obtained, and consequently he
‘has never been enthusiastic upon this
subject. It is unfortunate indeed that
the small grower should assume this
attitude, for with a small outlay of
money for the purchase of a spraying
outfit and a few hours work, he would
‘be able to grow high grade fruit which
would be of great satisfaction to him-
self and family througuout the year.
Rich People
“It doesn’t make any difference what
you think about it,” said Mrs. Fidget
to her husband. “We simply must
have a new rug before the Walruses
come to this house. They are such
grand people!”
“What do you mean rand» de-
manded Fidget. “Rich? If that’s what
you mean you'ré on the wrong track.
Don’t bring out any new rugs for their
benefit! If you do they'll think you
are poor and all the other things that
you don’t want them to think. Didn’t

terested in the outfit. In this way the
individual expense is greatly reduced
‘and better results are likely to be ob-
tained. J
An excellent spraying outfit for the
small grower may be secured for a
sum not to exceed $25.00. Where sev-
eral neighbors unite in the purchase of
an outfit it might be more desirable to
purchase a small power outfit which
may be purchased for about $125.00.
The latter machine would accomplish
much better results, and would be
more desirable in every respect.
With these modern spraying outfits
, the operation of spraying is not so dis-
, agreeable as it wag years ago with the
crude and inconvenient pumps. The
greater ease with which the spray ma-
terial may be prepared ready for aprii-
cation has also made the operation
blame for the high cost of living.
“Then they began to talk om the
best methods for economizing. Bel-
gian hare was caeaper than chicken,
much cheaper. Aslot of expense could
be avoided by catching pork fat and
using it for lard, and making ham-
burger steak out of the tail of the
porterhouse and ng, one should eat
porterhouse steak anyway. Round
steak was much cheaper and it could
be made tender by being cooked in a
fireless cooker, the fireless cooker be-
ing a gas saver. Sauerkraut was®¥nuch

© “Who were those rich people?” in-
terrupted Mr. Fidget. “Did your fam-
ily owe them money? Were they

; ‘cuits so that you could economize and

“Those rich people may have

was in years past.
The commercial lime-sulphur solu-
tion, which may be purchased at al-
most every country store or village,

make it an effective winter spray. The

The coddling moth worm nd other
insects cannot be controlled by this
solution. They can only be controlled
by the use of some violent poison, and
for this purpose arsenate of lead has
been found to be the most convenient
and effective. As these worms make
heir appearance just after the forma-
tion of the apple, it is necessary to
have the poison in waiting for them.
T'or this purpose, about three pounds
of arsenate of lead is thoroughly mixed
up with fifty gallons of water. As itis
desirable ‘also to make an application '
of a dijute lime and sulphur solution
(1 to 490) at this time, the three pounds

Con’t Hold Marketable Eggs Too Long

who specializes in marketing eggs to

Another factor which influences the
‘requency of marketing is the distance
of the farm from the village or country
store. - The greater the distance, the

scquently the less convenient it is to
market ezgs fre uently.

Going Out
“I. declare,” wailed the matronly
woman, “I never get a chance to go
out at all, and it is a shame! 1 stay
at home day in and day out like a
chained—"
“Tell your tashand about it,” sug-
gested the newly wedded neighbor.
“I did, not longer ago than yester-
day morning and he Said: ‘All right,
we'll go somewhere tonight. I'll take
| you to the theater” I asked him who
was going to stay with the children
while he and I went to the theater, and
he replied that we would hire some
! one. .
“I said that I supposed Mrs. Phlin-
der might take the job. But the kids
set up a howl at the idea of Mrs.
Phlinder’s staying with them. They
don’t like her because her face is so
red. Nevertheless I decided to phone
Mrs. Phlinder. She lives in the back
of Mrs. Oshking’ house and uses Mrs.
Oshking’ ‘phone in making appoint-
ments. Mrs. Oshkins said she would
go and bring Wrs. Phlinder to the
‘phone to call us up. We sat down to
wait, but there was no summons for
us. We ealled Mrs. Oshkins up again
and she informed us that Mrs. Phlin-
der had been at the telephone and that
after Mrs. Phlinder any more that
evening.
“At that my husband started out do
find Mrs. Phlinder. He got lost in the
