LOCK PROTECTS E RAZED HOTEL BAR Court Refuses to Lift Ban on Famed Inn. Milwaukee, Wis.—By a peculiar quirk of fate, enforcement of the pro- hibition laws is preserving the bar- room of the Kirby hotel; among the last vestiges of old Milwaukee, and the city’s oldest hostelry. A federal padlock protects the bar- ‘room while the remainder of the old structure has been razed to make way for an office building. The Lincoln hotel barroom also has been preserved by a padlock. Around it. however, an office building is be- ing built. The space occupied by the sealed barroom will be a court. The Federal court refused to lift the pad- locks, fastened because of liquor vio- lations. The Kirby hotel, built in 1844, was a political rendezvous, and many ca- reers began and ended in the coun- cils it ‘housed. Abraham Lincoln. Horace Greeley. Ulysses S. Grant, Wil- liam T. Sherman, Phil Sheridan, Rob- ert Ingersoll and Roscoe Conklin were among the many famous persons whose names were on its registers. Abner Kirby, once mayor of Mil waukee, was the early owner. He designated his 136 rooms by names. Faded newspaper clippings tell of his sending newlyweds to “Paradise,” the bridal suite, and inebriates to the room called “Hell.” He had bellboys walk through the halls regularly snif- fing for gas. Kirby boasted of the comforts of his hotel with the slogan, “Wake me .up when Kirby dies,” which he had embroidered on napkins and stamped upon menu cards and stationery. The city council has been no more successful in removing padlocked structures than have private con- cerns. The city widened Cedar street to relieve downtown traffic. The court refused to lift its order ov a closed place so that it could be re- moved for the street widening. Church Kissing Cult Is Revealed by Suit Gallipolis, Ohio.—That kissing is one of the essentials of salvation is the doctrine preached by a cult here, as revealed in a court appeal filed with Probate Judge John G. Evans by an excommunicated member of the church. The sect has been responsible for preaking up several homes and is now on the verge of shattering another happy family. The pastor of the flock, who is blind, is charged with teaching his flock that promiscuous kissing is hightly desirable and nec- essary to escape damnation. Married men kiss other men’s wives and married women do not hesitate to kiss other men, it is charged. The man who gave the information to the court said he was “read out” of the church because he refused to kiss the women of the congregation. He also said that he knocked down one mem- ber of the church who attempted to kiss his wife. “Tar Heel” Farmers Do Well With Bees Raleigh, N. C.—As a farm industry in North Carolina, beekeeping is a $2,500,000 enterprise. C. L. Sams, state agricultural ex- tension specialist, says the honey alone is valued at that figure. Twelve years ago it was worth only $468,- 914.16. At that time there were only 20 farmers who had 100 or more col- onies, and not a person in the state devoted full time to the industry. A total of 164,956 colonies produced 4,262,856 pounds of honey. This year there are 214,945 colonies of bees in North Carolina and they produced nearly 14,000,000 pounds of honey. Due to improved conditions the increase of 61,000 colonies boosted production nearly 10,000,000 pounds. Rich Stone Age Find Vernon, France.—A Stone-age tomb. discovered in the valley of Epte, France, is proclaimed as one of the richest finds of the kind ip recent years. It contained a great quantity of human bones, broken utensils. chipped flints “and other articles of historic interest, belonging apparently to the Neolithic period. Kept on Trying Newark, N. J.—Joseph C. Braelow is a firm believer in the principle that it you don’t succeed try again. Once he got a city job after taking 15 civil service examinations.

Pepper will give an illustrated lec- ture in Entomology. If for any reason you cannot attend any of these meetings leave your request at the Agricultural Extension office. Put Sprayer in Shape For Spring Offensive Farm insects will soon be wing- ing their way from tiee to tree. If the sprayer has not been put in good condition for the spring campaign against, insect enemies, immediate action is imperative. Even folks who believe in the groundhog tradition = of weather forecasting will admit that spring and the many duties it brings will soon be here. Repair the sprayer, putting on the new parts ordered earlier in the winter. If these nedd parts have not been ordered, obtain them promptly. It is also important to inspect the hose on the machine and to check all hose connections. A machine in good condition may mean the difference between profit and loss on the orchard, for break- downs or delays at spraying time often: are extremely expensive events. Bee Feeding Essential Where Food Is Scarce This winter has been unusually favorable for bees. The average temperature has been unusually high and the bees have enjoyed sev- eral cleansing flights. As soon as the weather becomes fairly warm and the bees are flying well the hives can be inspected to determine the quantity of food pres- ent. Each swarm should have the equivalent of 5 or 6 full frames of honey. Any colonies that are short of food should be fed sugar syrup, composed of about equal portions of sugar and water. In making this syrup, the syrup is added to hot water and allowed to dissolve. When it is cool it can be fed in in- verted pails or jar feeders placed directly over the brood chamber. Entrance feeders are not desirable PHI HHH ? Leave Orders for More Haverstraw, N. Y.—Louis Hoyt, of Haverstraw, reported to the police that thieves raided his hen coop at daybreak, car- ried off fifty-six hens, and left a mean note scrawled on a piece of paper saying that they would be back for the young chickens when they had grown up. “Fatten them up and we will be back later,” the note read Hoyt said the thieves also took two large bags of corn to feed the hens. He said if they came ® back he would have a shot- gun ready and a burglar alarm rigged up in his hen house. FEE HH EHH ‘% Thieves Steal 54 Hens for early feeding. Proper feeding is important since the bees will slow up on brood rearing if the honey is scarce even though they are not starving. Feed Breeding Ewes Some Grain at Once Flocks which have not been re- ceiving grain this winter will wel- come some now and will return good dividends on the investment. Good shepherds do not wait until the ewes have lambs by their sides before feeding grain. Where silage is available it is an excellent feed for the ewe flock. Provided it is not frozen or moldy. These ewes must not only main- tain their own body weight but need to build a reserve for the time when they will be obliged to suckle two big husky lambs. The flock owner County Agent’s News Letter By C. C. McDOWELL, County Farm Agent who has the most trouble at lambing time usually is the poorest feeder and caretaker. Remember, also, that the well-nourished ewe will shear one to three pounds more wool | in the spring. : Flocks should be drenched for stomach worms at least twice dur- ing the winter . Soybeans Good Hay For Dairying Feeding As winter slowly disappears and spring draws near, the time for the Somerset county dairyman to decide whether he will need additional le- gume hay for next winter's feeding approaches. Where there is a threatening shortage of hay or where clover has frozen out, soybeans are one of the best emergency hay crops available. The soybean is a legume which is about equal to alfalfa in feeding value. By feeding a leguminous hay, such as alfalfa, clover, or soybean, many dollars can be saved in mak- ing up the grain mixture and more home-grown grains can be utilized for milk production. High protein feeds usually are high priced, which makes the growing legumes to take their place a profitable practice. Information on seeding, varieties to plant, rates of sowing, and other essentials of soybean growing can be obtained from County Agent C. C. McDowell. ‘Feed Turkeys For Laying A laying mash will stimulate the breeding turkeys to earlier egg pro- duction. Eggs must be laid in March to get April turkeys. Turkeys hatch- ed in April and May will develop into good marketable birds by Thanksgiving time. The turkeys should eat about equal portions of grain and laying mash. Keep oys- ter shells = constantly before the birds. C. C. McDowell, County Agent. KNIGHTS OF PYTHIAS The Order of Knights of Pythias was founded in the City of Washing- ton, D. C., February 19, 1864. Jus- tice Henry Rathbone and twelve oth-| er men in government service were the charter members. The order was later chartered by a special act com- pleting its sixty-fifth year as a prac- tical American fraternity. The supreme purpose of the Py- thian Order is that it points the way to a better standard of manhood. All the urge of ancient and mystic rights, all the lofty teachings of phil- osophy, all the examples of chivalry and valor focus at that purpose at that ideal, the building of a nobler manhood. : What does the Order of Knights of Pythias do? We take care of the sick, the aged and the infirm, cares for and educat- ed the orphan child. What has the Order Knights of Py- thias done? NATIONAL AFFAIRS Written for This Paper By FRANK P. LITSCHERT Now that the pacifists and inter- nationalists have suffered a decisive defeat in the passage of the fifteen cruiser bill and the singing of the bill by the President, we may well take time to wonder what they will do next. That their carefully built propaganda machines will not be permitted to rust by disuse can be taken for granted. Already there has been a sign or two of a revival of the onslaughts against citizens’ military training camps and milita- ry training in our high schools and colleges. And it is to be taken also that a new attempt will be made to get Uncle Sam more closely con- nected with the League of Nations through the Kellogg Treaty for the outlawry of war. It was generally agreed by Amer- ican statesmen that the Kellogg treaty as ratified by the Senate did not involve the United States in any program of peace enforcement which might entangle us against our will in world politics. But with the treaty passed by the Senate it is perhaps only natural to expect that our internationalists will use this action in an attempt to break down the traditional foreign policy of the United States. The first evidence that something was in the wind game with the introduction in the Senate of a resolution embody- ing the internationalist ideals of Professor Shotwell of Columbia University. Professor Shotwell is an unoffi cial diplomat who believes that it is the mission of the United States to get into the European po- litical game with both feet. The resolution provided among other things in case of war break- ing out between two signatories of the peace pact, the United States through the President might decide which is the aggressor nation and refuse to carry on trade, especially, in what might be regarded as muni- tions of war, with the so-called ag- gressor nation. In other words. in case of war between two European nations over a boundary line in the Balkans or a mandate over an ivory colony in Africa, Uncle Sam would set himself up as the umpire in the dispute. It is hardly necessary to state that this plan has not as yet been greeted with any great degree of enthusiasm by the clear thinking, hard headed statesmen of the coun- try either inside the Senate or out. In the first place, it is pointed out, whenever a war starts each nation claims the other is the aggressor. This has always been true and al- ways will be. It has’ not yet been completely decided which was the aggressor in our war with Mexico nearly a hundred years ago. This is only one example and there are many others, from the time of Ju- The Order has contributed more aged and unfortunate members. I has @rected twenty-two homes for aged members, and widows, and or- phans at cost of more than $2,500,- 000. More than 5,000 men, women and children are provided with homes in these havens maintained by the or- der in.twenty States. The insurance department has dis- tributed $63,000,000 of Pythian de- pendents since its establishment in 1877. Last year the payments made to widows and orphans of members was at the rate of $7,500 daily or a total amount 0f$2,100,000. The Pythian Order is a fraternity for the average citizen. It provides fellowship, home protection, and so- cial contacts. There is mo class dis- tinction in the order. It requires for membership, the man of good moral character, a be- liever in a Supreme being, one who loves and provides for his family and is loyal to his country. Such men will find brotherhood in the order, and an opportunity to help carry on its programme of welfare work. JONATHAN GUMBERT WILL IS PROBATED The will of Johathan Gumbert, late of Somerset Township, was probated last Monday. He bequeathed his es- tate to his widow, Emma Gumbert, after whose death the same shall go to Wills Church, of Somerset Town- ship. He bequeathed the sum of $200 to Oran W. Beachley, who is ap- pointed executor, for his compensa- tion in settling his estate. The will was dated February 8, 1913, and wit- nessed by Bess Luther and Virgil R. Saylor. The will of Catherine Smith, late of Lincoln Township, was probated on February 15. She bequeathed her estate in equal shares to her follow- ing named children: Annie Laura Lint, Alice Brant, Tillie® Smith, Sadie Shaulis, Mary Bell Murray and Ella Catherine Smith. John E. Brant and Jessie S. Shaulis are appointed exe- cutors. The will was dated Septem- ber 30, 1915, and witnessed by S. G. Bittner and Sadie Shaulis. than $150,000,000 to the relief of | lius Caesar down to the World War. Now, when the next war breaks out, with both sides claiming to be on the defensive, if Uncle Sam decides that one of the nations is the real bad actor in the case and refuses to trade with it, he will have in the eyes of the other nation, committed la grave breach of neutrality which | can only be settled by force of arms. As a result, having started in as an junpive Uncle Sam will have become one of the gladiators in the combat. Instead of enforcing peace he will have become entangled in war, es- pecially if the aggrieved nation is fone which is capable of real fichting |and is able to line up a few allies of its own. Of course the internationalists in the United States do not want Un- cle Sam really to act as an umpire in such an instance. What they really desire is to have the United States accept the decision of the : League of Nations as to which of the nations is the aggressor. Then {Uncle Sam will be as effectually tied to the league as if he were a duespaying member. This is not getting into the back door of the league as was threatened a few years ago. It is merely sitting on the outside cellar steps and acting as the little “yes man” of the inter- national political body. The lea- (gue battle and the World Court dis- cussion in our State and in the American press and the American political arena have served one es- pecially good purpose. They have served to teach the American people something about world politics, a sort of education they have needed badly. As a result they are not apt to fall for any of this “umpire stuff.” They know how popular the umpire always is and what sometimes happens to him when the crowd gets out of hand.

OLD SOMERSET HOME RUINED BY FIRE Residence Erected More Than 100 Years Ago by Pioneer Citizen of . County Seat The home of John C. Staub in the West End was ruined by fire, thought to have originated in a defective flue about 11 o'clock Sunday morning. The blaze was discovered by Mr. Staub when he sought to ascertain the cause of the smoke escaping from a crevice in th e rear of the house. The fire company arrived promptly and fought for more than two hours before the flames were subdued. The burned building, known as “Solomon’s Temple,” was one of the oldest in Somerset having been erec- ted by Solomon Baer, father of the late Judge William J. Baer. It then passed into the ownership of Maj. John M. Holderbaum who occupied it for a long time. It was a large three story struc- ture and originally stood on the site now occupied by the Morrison garage on West Main street. A year or so ago the structure was removed to a location near the High School build- ing, where the exterior walls were given a coating of stucco and the old roof was replaced with asbestos shin- gles. It appears that the flames ate into the old white pine weather- boards where they could not be reached by the firemen. Officers of the fire department say the blaze was the most stubborn they have fought in recent years, due to the fact that the flames were confin- ed between non-inflammable sidewalls and roof. OBITUARY Funeral of Edna Wilson Funeral services for Edna Wilson, 12-year-old daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Thomas Wilson, of Stoyestown, who died Friday morning at the Memorial Hospital, Johnstown, from tubercplar meningitis, were held at 2 o'clock Sunday afternoon at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Martin Shaver, grandpar- ents of the deceased.

Some kinds de- cay quickly and others more slowly, depending on the kind of lumber and its use. Fence posts begin to decay first just a few inches below the surface of the ground and to prolong life of the post, it may be treated with creosote. Treat With Creosote. “The average fence post may be treated with creosote under ordinary farm conditions by using the open tank process,” says A. T. Holman, agricultural engineer at the North Carolina State college. “We know that wood or wood products subject to alternate wetting and drying will de- cay more readily than those kept wet or dry as the case may be. Longleaf or yellow pine, cypress, mulberry and black locust are among the most satis- factory woods commonly used for posts. Sap woods are unsatisfactory unless treated with creosote and in fact all posts .should be treated. We advise the open tank process.” used, one for hot treatment and the other for cold treatment, states Mr. Holman. Get the posts ready—cut, trimmed and peeled. Use a 100-gallon steel oil drum with the head removed for the first tank and another drum or trough for the second. Copal tar creosote or a similar preservative is placed in the first tank and heated to 175 to 200 degrees. The posts are then placed in this and allowed to stand on end for one-half to one hour when they are removed and immedi- ately placed in the second tank. This tank is also filled with the same pre- servative maintained at 100 degrees or certainly not less than fifty. This is called the cold tank. The posts should remain here for thirty minutes. Usually - the base or ground end is treated in tank number one and the whole post in tank number two, states Mr. Holman.s The creosote oil should penetrate at least three-quarters of an inch to effectively prolong the life of the post. Increase Life of Post. Mr. Holman states that if this treatment is followed in building new fences, the life of the posts will be so greatly increased that.the owner will not be put to the expense, of con- stantly renewing. » Gas Formed in Silos Is Dangerous to Farmers Even modern farming has developed its perils to human life. The useful and innocent-appearing silo can quick- ly become a death-trap as treacherous as the gas-filled garage, points out the Farm Journal, warning its readers that an increasing number of deaths yearly. “Fermenting silage gives off carbon dioxide, which, if bredthed, causes death,” it is. explained. “There is no danger from the gas while the silo-fill- ing operation is going on, but when the operation stops for a while the gas settles. It is essential, therefore. to turn the cutter on for a little while before going back into the silo after an interruption, or to take out the silo doors down to the level of the silage and permit the gas to flow out |of the week. before entering.” ITE EG, by In this process, two open tanks are’ from silage gas is being recorded’ A Ror Braddo ~ Hun Ps Mustre low W.N .\ Copyright by ‘THE CHAPTER I—I open-handed gene Virginia gentlem: Brond is serving for the army und preparing for th uquesne.
