“Scenic Wall Paper”
Is New Spring Craze
Scenic wall paper, depicting important
events of the recent past and contempor-
ary scenes done in the modern manner
is. one of the most interesting innovations
which home decorators will introduce this
Spring.
Pictorial wall papers representing auth-
entically historic happenings were quite
the last word in the 1860's. Modern
designers have never attempted them be-
fore. One leading firm is showing an
ambitious pattern which pictures with ac
curate detail the high spots of the whole
New York skyline with the Battery and
the Statue of Liberty at one end of the
panel. Rockefeller Center in the middle,
and Central Park and the Triborough
Bridge at the other end. t

4th -SHAFFER’S BIG HORSE AND MULE SALE- 4th
At My Stock Yards on Main Highway From Berwick
to Bloomsburg, on
MONDAY, MARCH 22nd, 1937
AT 12 O'CLOCK NOON
32--Express Load lowa Horses and Mules--32
Here comes another exprees load of those famous Iowa Horses and Mules that I
myself have bought. No use to describe this load as they are nearly all 1937-1938
models, the best that can be had. Buying a horse or mule is just like your wife
wanting a good dress made—she wouldn't go to a harness maker or a shoemaker
to get a job of this kind done; she would go to an experienced dressmaker where
she would get quality, style and service. Of course if she isn't very particular and
can put up with most anything, then the shoemaker could do the job. Buy your
horses where you get quality and do not let a shoemaker serve you when he does
not have what you would like to buy and you know that Shaffer has and sells
the kind that will please you. Buy them from the Old Reliable Dealer who has
served you for 31 years. I hitch and show all horses and mules the day before
kale and on day of sale.
35 SECOND-HAND HORSES
Some good and some not so good; one to suit everybody's pocketbook. : Times
change, but my guarantee does not. Free delivery for all horses and mules.
Horses, Mules, Cattle and Hogs taken in same as cash. Let me know before
my sale what you have to dispose of and I will see you and your stock.
Express Load Will Arrive 2 Days Before Day of Sale
Some Cows, 15 Big Shoats, 20 eight weeks old Pigs will be sold. Horses and
Mules at private sale every day. New Team Harness, parts of Harness and col-
lars for sale at all times. $5.00 IN CASH will be given away every hour, on the
hour. Be sure to be with me on the above date as I need your help.
TERMS—Cows, Pigs, Harness and all parts of Harness, Cash. Horses or Mules,
$75.00 or less, Cash; all over $75.00, two-thirds cash on day of sale or delivery,
balance 3 months with interest from date. If paid in 2 months, no interest
charged. 3% off on amounts over two-thirds of purchase price, if paid in full,
ments are largely carried on by officers
who are either elected by the people
or appointed by elected officials. A few
cities choose their employees by means of
civil service examinations. Popular elec-
tion of public employees has its disadvan-
tages, for voters cannot be expected to
tell, simply by reading a name on a ballot,
just how well qualified a candidate may
be for specialized duties such as the hand-
ling of financial affairs or the building
of good highways.

Good looking hair is an asset
to a man. It stamps him as a
well groomed gentleman. Fom-
ol gives a man's hair glow-

grooming through its amazing

foaming oil shampoo which
takes unkempt, sickly hair
(man’s, woman's or child's),
and leaves it clean as a whis-

Fom-ol is so economical; alittle
goes a long way. Ask your

Smut Worst Enemy
Of Local Oat Crop
Hutchison Explains How,
Loss Can Be Reduced |
By Treatment
Smut is the worst enemy of oats in
Pennsylvania. It reduces yields in fields
planted to untreated seed by 2 to 3 bush-
els an acre, County Agent J. D. Hutchi-
son reports.
Formaldehyde, a gas dissolved in water,
has been found to be the most efficient
material for treating the seed to control
smut. The cost is only 2 to 3 cents an
acre.
One pint of 40 per cent formaldehyde
diluted with a pint of water is sufficient
for 50 bushels of oats. The solution can
be used in a small hand sprayer. The
use of more than one pint of formalde-
hyde to 50 bushel may cause injury to
the seed.
After the oats have deen thoroughly
cleaned with a fanning mill, they should
be placed in a pile on a clean barn floor
or canvas, or in a tight wagon box.
{ered with blankets or canvas, or
PAGE THREE
While one man shovels the oats from
one pile to another a second man or boy
can spray a little of the solution over
each shovelful. Two strokes of the
handle give about the right amount.
After all the oats are treated,
should be shoveled into a pile and
they
cov
with.
grain sacks sprayed on both sides with
the solution. Allowed to remain covered
for at least five hours, the oats may be
bagged and drilled.
Mr. Hutchison recommends sewing the
oats as soon as possible after treating.
If held over two weeks they should be
run through a clean fanning mill set at
full draft. This will blow out surplus
formaldehyde gas which otherwise might
injure the seed.
Oats treated by this method which are
not used for seeding may be safely fed:
to livestock.
