A large territory was without light . on. Monday evening when a pole which supported the high tension wires was struck by a car. Two automobiles side- swiped, one leaving the road, collided with the pole, cut it completely off, allowing it to swing out into the cen- ter of the highway. The high voltage wires dropped down on to the tele- phone beneath, sending the current over them, threw the operators at the Lake exchange from their seats. The accident occurred on the main road near the home of Clarence Spencer. The occupants of the cars were only slightly injured. A new pole was placed and repairs made in record time and the lights were turned on about 10 o'clock.

Poorly fleshed birds should get a special fat- tening ration for about two weeks be- fore selling time. A good mixture con- sists of 100 pounds cornmeal, 50 pounds ground oatmeal, 50 pounds middlings and 30 pounds meat scrap. Milk can be used instead of meat scrap and the mixture fed in a moistened form three times daily. Feed cracked corn liberal- ly, late in the afternoons. Protect Cows From Pests—Flies are a serious pest around the stable and milkhouse. Screened windows and darkened stables will help protect the cattle. Windows and doors to the milkhouse should be screened also. ‘Destroy all breeding places of flies by hauling away manure daily and pre- venting accumulation of any filth. Eradicate Canada Thistle—One of the best methods of controlling Canada thistle in gelds is to starve out the plants by keeping green shoots cut back. If in a corn field rowed both ways, frequent cultivation with knives or sweeps instead of shovels will keep the thistles down. ‘Cut out the thistles on the rous by hoeing. = Train Ornamentals—Climbing vines need training and careful attention every few days in their early stages. This is particularly important with permanent hardy types. Lawns Need Good Care—Close mow- ing of the: lawn during hot, dry weather is inadivisable, for a fair length of growth is needed to shade the roots and prevent their being scorched. The mower blades should be set high and the lawn mowed fre- quently so the clippings will not be too long. SR Early Political Parties The first organizations correspond- - ing to the political parties of today were the Whigs and Tories, which sprang up in England toward the end of the Seventeenth century. The name “Whig” came from the word “whiggamore,” sometimes used by the Scots to describe cattle thieves, while to call a man a Tory in the old days was equivalent to cdlling him an Irish outlaw. | The Week’ s Doings Tunkhannock suffered another ser- ious fire early Wednesday morning when flames swept the Old Piatt Opera House block on Bridge street. The fine, big farm equipment store of Gay- Murray Company was completed gutted as was the shoe store owned by William Rowesky. The fire was discovered about 2 o'clock in the morning and but for the heroic work of the volunteer fire department and the efficient work of the department's newly purchased fire truck the entire business section of the town might have been gutted. oe ; Eighty-three aeroplanes circled over Wyoming Valley last week, swooped and landed on Wilkes-Barre-Wyoming Valley's new airport to take part in the airport dedication ceremonies. Among the aviators were two boys from this section, Fossett “Tat” Crosby of Noxen and Philip Reynolds of Mt. Green- wood. Crosby piloted one of two Monocoupe planes that took off from the Phila- delphia airport on Friday night. The other Monocoupe was driven by J. W. Smith, manager of the Philadelphia port, who won the ninety horsepower race at the delicatory ceremonies. Al- though eighty-three planes were pres- ent, establishing a world’s record for opening day attendance, airmen re- ported the program one of the slowest they had ever participated in. Among the notables attending were: Elinor Smith, holder of world’s endurance record for women; Martin Jensen, of trans-Pacific-Dole flight fame; George Haldeman, who flew with Ruth Elder to Europe, and Major Leo W. Heffer- nan, U. S. A., commander of Chamute Field, Rantoul, Ill. The next big event on the program of the airport will be the triple parachute drops to be staged there July 4th. a COMMISSION REPCRTS ON GAME LAW PROSECUTIONS Prosecutions made for violations of the game laws during March, 1929, totalled 83, according to figures recent- ly compiled by the Game Commission.
