Two Fine Horses Cremated.
Two horses valued at not less than
Mildred Morrison Company |
$600 and belonging to C. R. Boyd,
who lives on the Somerset and Bed-
ford pike, five miles east of here,
were cremated on Wednesday even-
ing, while the owner was engaged in
dragging stumps and brush to a deep
pit, caused by the subsidance of the
80il in one of his meadows following
the removal of the coal many years
220.
Mr. Boyd found the pit the most
convenient place to dispose of farm
rubbish and decaying timber, prob-
ably because a fire built in it could
Be easily kept under control and dan-
ger of its communicating with build-
ings and fences minimized.
After starting a fire in the pit some
time before dusk Wednesday evening
Mr. Boyd drove his team along side
of the opening with a view to depos-
iting a load of stumps Suddenly
and without notice the crust of th:
earth on which the horses were tug-
ging gave away ind they iel! in |
the burning mass. The owne. was
powerless to rescue them and was |
forced to turn away from the dread- |
ful spectacle. i
In addition to the horses, Mr.
Boyd sustained the loss of a double |
set of harness valued at $70.—Somer-
set Herald.

SQUARING ACCOUNTS.
Two items comprise the accounts
which compels the United States to |
send gold to Japan. The first is the!
debit which we have accumulated
"over there because our Democratic |
tariff enables the Japanese to sell us |
more goods than we can sell to the!
Japanese. This adverse balance of |
rade has to be paid for. We cannot
pay it in good;s so we must pay it in |
money. The other item is that creat- |
ed by the purchases of war material
By our Allies. We have two-thirds
of the world’s stock of gold just now,
and so we are made the medium

pon. The other item will remain—
and it will probably increase. We
shall doubtless witness little if any
diminution in our gold shipments to
Japan—because Japan will continue
to enter our free markets with her
goods and she will probably send
even more of them over here in order
that she may keep employed the men
whom the cessation of munition or
ders will take from that line of
activity. |
A FAIR PROFIT.
The Federal Trade Commission, in |
its three-years delayed report on the |
beet sugar industry, estimates that |
the average profits of beet sugar
companies for the five years prior to
1915-14 were 11 per cent. The report !
states that in 1913-14 the average re-
Sturn was only three cents, while | He
many companies operated at a loss. | T
It will be remembered that that asl
the year the beet sugar industry was |
staggering under the blows of the |
Democratic party. Curiously enough !
the IT per cent profit mentioned by |
the report is precisely the percentage
agreed upon in the orders for taxing
pofits adopted by Great Britain early
this year as the rate which might
reasonably be expected from a sugar

Preparedness.
One way to bring about a condition
of national preparedness is to prepare
yourself for the simplest elemental du-
ties of a citizen and a soldier. Ciga-
rettes before breakfast, an ingrowing
toenail and a consequent inability to
run 100 yards are just as reprehensi-
ble as a lack of patriotism.—World’s
