Miss Ruth Kocher, daughter of Mr.
of Mrs. Wallace Kocher of Williams-
port, is visiting her aunt, Mrs. Frank
‘Wright, at Idetown.
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.

Tips On Fattening Chicks For
Broilers—OQther Topics
Fatten Chicks For Broilers—Chicks
fed unlimited amounts of a complete
ration are likely to be in good flesh
ready to be sold as broilers. 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.

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.

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.

ly compiled by the Game Commission.

chase game unlawfully, two unnatural-
ized citizens were fined for possessing
firearms, and one for possessing a
dog. Twelve prosecutions of illegal
deer cases were and 45 persons were
apprehended on various other charges,
such as failure to tag traps, fraudu-
lently probating bounty claims, killing
songs birds, failure to display license

little more than half of those made in
February when 155 persons were con-
victed.
