Knew the Schedule
He was a very popular curate and
when he gained his earthly reward of
a pleasant living, and left the country
parish, he was much missed by all.
His successor, not much of a country-
man, went to call on ald Mother
Brown one Monday afternoon, who at
once took his parochial education in
hand.
“I be main sorry t'other curick’s
gone,” she said, “for this I will say
for that there curick, he allus did
know when ’twas washing day.”’—
Auckland Weekly News.

WHY NOT TELL A GOOD ONE?
“A fish has been discovered which
can walk overland from one lake to
another and can live out of water six
months at a time.” It would make a
better story to have the fish carry an
umbrella.—Toledo Blade.

Maryland Forest Reserve
Owned by Pittsburgers
The work of planting 30,000 red pine
trees on the forest reserve of F. F. Ni-
cola, of Pittsburgh, owner of Rock
Ledge, near Bittinger, Md., is under the
direction of Carl E. Pfeiffer, assistant
state forester. Ten thousand trees were
planted during the latter part of last
week by 16 men.
The work of reforestation has been
going on every year since 1921 on the
Rock Ledge reservation and there are
now many acres of red pine, Norway
spruce, Scotch pine, white pine and lo-
cust, showing healthy growth. Last
year a similar number of red pine trees
were set out under the direction of
Pfieffer on hig land. The trees will
eventually cover the mountain which was
swept by fire several years ago.
The territory being reforested was
once covered by the finest and largest
growth of native white. pine in Mary-
land, the tract being known as “The
Rights of Man.” The timber was made
into lumber many years ago.

their doughboy outfits, Somerset in their
blues and the Windber Yellow Jackets,

the “wreck” in, which 40-8's members
participated. Voyageurs and Legion-
aires in the line of march showed the
spectators on the sidelines that they are
justly proud of their organization. and
the wonderful co-operation between the
Voiture and the Legion Posts again
brought results. James Baird, Conduc-
tor of the Somerset Wrecking Crew, and
the officers of the Voiture thank the
Legionaires and city officials for their
efforts in paving the way for a success-
ful parade and the privileges permitted.
Among the P. G’s who went through
the obligation Wednesday evening was
County Treasurer, Walter McNutt.
The Windber Yellow Jackets Trumpet '
and Drum Corps sponsored a picture in |
