ars shows nineteen sales made by tne

That Somerset county’ agriculturists
have made a nice profit in last year's
crops and that big things are expected
for 1916 is evidenced by the fact that
scores of farmers are having their
barns enlarged. Since the first of the

tor and builder, closed coatracts for
the building of additions to the barns
of I. P. Walker and H. L. Couniryman

PRISONERS’ WOUNDS
Fixes Up Noses and Ears and
Is Called *‘Doctor.”
Grand Rapids, Mich.—About a hun-
dred human noses and perhaps twice
that many human ears have been
patched up by Turnkey Stephen Hale
at police le dquarters during his ten-
ure of office. It is quite a record when
yon consider that Hale’s education
along medical lines is nil. The nearest
Turnkey Ilale ever has been to a regu-
lar college where they teach men to
become doctors was down at Ann Ar-
bor years ago when he visited the cam-
pus. At that time friends pointed out
to the turnkey the place where they
turn out physicians every year and
give them the right to write M. D.
after their names,
Every big city has its fights at night.
Grand Rapids has its share of brawls,
and ‘the rules of fighting among a cer-
tain class seem to cling pretty close to
the catch-us-catch-can style. So not in-
frequently the victims of these fights
reach police headquarters with a bit of
a nose or the lobe of an ear missing.
Hale doesn’t count gouged faces and

William Morgan, the man who shot |’
‘A Yong time ago Hale's tilent for the
work he now does ‘was discovered with
the arrival at headquarters of a vicious
character whose ears and nose showed
some one had got, the better of him.
He wouldn't have the city physician
attend him.’ Hale's heart was touched
by the man's suffering neverehtless, so
after awhile he pulled him forth and
practiced the art of healing: The vic-
tim didn’t feel nearly as bad as he.
looked the following morning with his
head bandaged up, and after that the
turnkey was dubbed “Dr. Hale.”
Little Wife Spanks Him.
Sunbury, Pa.—“Sure, I spanked him
judge, but I'll be good in the future,”
declared Mrs. John Heim of Herndon
to Judge Moser in the Northumberland
county court here when she had her
230 pound husband in court on a deser-
tion charge. The wife weighs ninety
pounds. At the court’s suggestion the
pair agreed to ‘‘give and take,” and the
husband was discharged from custody.
Has an Old Cowbell.
Convers, Ga.—H. C. Penn has in his
possession a cowbell found by him in
Ben Carr bottoms in the year 1856.
The bell is of brass and, unlike most
small bells now, is made of one solid
piece of metal.

THROUGHOUT THE COUNTY CONFLUENCE : TTENDS m
Congressman Hopwood is prepar Jan. 2— TURNKEY A
g
All the winter day you look forward to
the evening, to serving supper, to seeing
the family gathered in the sitting room
—father reading, the young ones get-
ting their lessons done, you yourself
sewing—all surrounded by a soft flood
of light from the beaming lamp on the
center table.
That same lamp is important, for upon the
light it casts depends the good eyesight
of your family. To avoid any possibility
of eye strain and the headaches and
nervousness that follow, make certain that
each room—sitting room, parlor, kitchen
—is lighted by Rayo Lamps.
And to get the very best results, fill them
with Rayolight Oil. Rayo Lamps are
mechanically perfect—they never flicker
nor smell, but they.do threw a fleod of soft,
mellow light—a light that is ideal for read-
ing, sewing or playing. And the Rayo is a
beautiful lamp—special designs for special
rooms—but every: Rayo Lamp can be
easily and quickly cleaned.
Of course, Atlantic Rayolight Oil does
best in Rayo Lamps, but it will improve
the light of any lamp. Really the best
for heating, lighting and domestic uses.
It burns without smell or smoke, and it burns
economically.
As a result of our aly advertised request, thousands of careful housewives tell us that
Atlantic Rayolight
mirrors, brightening faded carpets, restoring
is the very best ingen TEN for polishing windows and
aturolly, for this kind
of work, it is important to get the very finest grade of kerosene—so be certain to ask
ATLANTIC
your dealer for
avolic
by name. It costs no more than the unknown, untried kind.
