Boswell is now ppactically assured
of a public park. The new council e-
lected last week is known to be heart-
ily in favor of paying the taxes due
on the piece of ground donated to the
borough some time ago and of put- .
ting’ some money into improvements.
Boswell will have one of the finest:
town parks in the county if this is
and located almost in the very heart
of the town. The new council will also
probably move for considerable
street paving. Some paving is badly
needed and the new councilmen are
known to be good street enthusiasts.
Deputy Sheriff Coleman of Somer-

that he is a forger. It is said that he
was formerly a resident of Windber.
According to the police authorities
Coleman had been living in Windber
and some time ago forged a check
for $70 on the Citizéns Bank of that
place. Complaint was niade to the
National Bankers’ association who
had had Burns detectives take up
the case. Coleman was arrested sev-

A news item from Connellsville says
Farmer Bert Ogg, who lives just

himself sought solace in slumber.
Acute manifestations of bovine tra

long about the dawning of a new day.
Farmer Ogg was down stairs in a
couple of jumps, He opened the kitch-

in the buckwheat batter behind the
stove. Just outside the door stood |
Bossie, and staggering around her on
very weak underpiiinings were four
Bossiettes, born during the night. In
the hour of trouble the prize Jersey
had left the cozihess of her quarters
in the barn and got as near the seat
of civilization as possibue. “Heck,”
said Farmer Ogg as he surveyed his
new possessions, “Hank Stewart and

Why Arabs Lie.
It is said by travelers throughout
the world that the most universally
untruthful people to be met with are
the Arabs. All foreigners lie some
of the time, but Arabs lie all the time.
Whether this be true or not, the
warning to the American farmers. In a recent official
statement, prepared by Mr. Geo. M. Rommel, Chief of the
Division of Animal Husbandry, Bureau of Animal Indus-
try, published in the Agricultural Outlook, the following
appears: :
“The estimates of the department for the number
of sheep on farms in the United States on January 1,
1914, show a decide decrease as compared with 1913.
| om toward 2 decline in the number

practice may not be out of place.
As a farm animal per se, the sheep has many distinct advantages. The
sheep is a much more economical animal to feed than the steer, returning
a larger amount of gain per 100 pounds of feed eaten.
to consume roughage is considered, he is more economical than the hog.
as a by-product—which will go far toward defraying the cost of keep.
Sheep are prolific. A farm flock which does not yield at least 100 per
cent increase is very poor, indeed. ; ;
= A flock of sheep on a farm will, in time, clear it of weeds, without ex-
pense to the owner, if allowed to range the lanes, the stubblefields after
grain is cut, and the cornfields after the corn is full grown. As a scavenger
even a goat is not more useful than a sheep.
As meat-food animals sheep have never been sufficiently appreciated
in the United States. They are, however, of very great value. They must
be classed, with hogs and poultry, as the most available animals to supply
meat for home use on the average farm. They are readily slaughtered, the
meat can be kept without difficulty, it cuts up without waste in sizes which
are convenient for the average family and the meat is nutritious, wholesome
and palatable when properly cooked. The healthfulness of the sheep alone
gives it front rank as a meat-food animal. Sheep rarely have tuberculosis
or other diseases communicable to man. to ; dl]. Pan

If only 25 per cent of the farms on which there are now no sheep should
have a flock of not over twenty-five or thirty ewes, managed with reasonabla
care, farm revenues would not only be materially increased, but a decided
step in advance would be taken towards the solution of our meat-supply

MRS. ROSE ANN ZUFALL
Mrs. Rose Ann Zufall, widow of the
late Aaron Zufall, of Somerset town-
ship, died Tuesday afternoon, October
26 at the home of her dauhgter, Mrs.
C. W. Shafer, in Johnstown. Mrs. Zu-
fall had been ill for a long time but
not until a few days before her death
was the seriousness of her condition
realized. She was born in Preston
county, Va. in 1847, and at the time
of her death was 68 years old. , She
was a member of the Lutheran church.
Surviving are two daughters, Mrs.C.
| W. Shafer, of Johnstown, and Mrs.
| Harry Davis, of Somerset. Interment
| was made in Grandview cemetery,
| Johnstown.

one. Then she said, “Now if I give

| not to swing on the gate again?”
| Amelia looked at the cooky and
promised. As they walked toward the
' gate Amelia said; “Mrs. Perkins,
‘would’ your hired man take me away
‘if I should swing on the gate again?”
Mrs. Perkins said he never would,

would be hurt if she should fall off
the gate.

and then the other, too keep them
even.
When she got home she ran to her
playhouse and began to arrange the
shelves in a new style. Pretty soon
Nora came from the house with a
bow] in one hand and something else
in' the other.
“Come, Amelia, darlin’,” she said,
“come along to Mrs. Perkins’ with me
till we get some butter.”
Amelia said she did not want to
go.
“Well, then,” said Nora, “see what
I have for you.” So she gave Amelia
one of her mother’s pretty teacups
that somehow had lost its handle,
When Nora came back she asked,
“What did Mrs. Perkins say would
happen if you climbed on the gate?”
Amelia’s cheeks got very red, but
she looked up and said:
“She told me even If I did elimb on
the gate and break my spine that I
would not have to go away on the hay
cart with the hired man!”
Nora had no chance to talk, so she
went into the house.
That evening when the owl heard
voices talking under the oak tree he
leaned his best ear down and listened.
On the porch sat Nora and Perkins’
hired man telling the story ef Amelia
and the gate.
And so the owl learned it.
An Honor Badge.
You would be very proud, indeed,
if you had been given the Victoria
Cross. You have, of course, heard a
great deal about it and know that
men who have won it must be of the
bravest. You would be proud to win
the Iron Cross of Germany or the
cross of the Legion of Honor o:
France. But how about the Medal of

After the gruelling hard
service you have put your
