To Estimate Quantities In some sections it is cuHtomary to sell bay by measurement, in a mow, 512 cubic feet is allowed for a ton. Tbis approximates as closoly 08 possible, to a correct standard, the numbor of cublo feet required for a ton varying on account of the different dogroos of pressure to which the hny has been subjected and also with the kind and quality of the hay. It is also said that 10 cubio yards of meadow hay weigh a ton. When it Is taken out of old or the lower part of large stacks 8 or 9 cubio yards will make a ton. 10 or 12 cubio yards of clover when dry make a ton. Hay stored in barns requiros from 3 to 400 cubio feet to make a ton if be of medium coarse ness and a groater or loss quantity varying from 3 to 600 cubio feet Recording to its quality. A Muaicale The Woman's Guild of the Church of the Good Shepherd have arranged to provide a musical entertainment tomorrow, Saturday, evening at the home of Mrs. L. W.

The catalogue is one of the handsomest that has been issued by the school and it is a credit to the school and the Stroudsburg Times company, which printed it. Fertility in Product If you sell $200 worth of wheat at 80 cents a bushel you can sell J07 worth of nitrogen, phosphoric acid and potash. If you sell a $200 horse you sell only $7 worth of those fert lizers. If you sell $200 worth butter you sell only 25 cents worth If you sell clover hny at $7 per ton you sell $9 worth of those fertilizer- So, then, feed such foods to stock and thus make manure at a cheuper rate than to purchase commercial ferti lizers.

Favors Woninn SufTYnge Men value the ballot highly for themselves. They would not be satisfied with itfltience. When voles are counted out, or tally sheets trged, wn try to send the guilty persons to the pnnitentinry for ili priving American citizens of a voiee in choosing the law makers who arn to govern them: but wo see no harm in doing the srtmo thing to our own sisters and wives. It is often said that women suf frage is just, but that there is no need of it, beciuso women have no interests separate from those of men. Tim, argument was used to me only lately by nn eminent politi cnl economist. I said : "Suppose a railroad runs through the town, and a woman owns a large property in that town and yet cannot vote on tho question of mining a subsidy ; are her interests necessarily the same as those of every man in the town?" Ho answered, "that is very rare enso." My friends, that case is universal. Suppose a widow is trying to bring up her son in the principles or morality, and a saloon is opened on the corner opposite her house I do not speak as an advo cate of prohibition, for 1 am not one; but I do say that the interest of the mother is different from that of the man who soils liquor. Or suppose she is bringing up a daugh ter ; she has a sacred right to pro tect that daughter from a libertine Her interest is certiinly difforout from that of the tonipter. Men bavo given women what they consider liberal treatment. They say, "Yon are not to sit on tho jury or hull) make tho law, but will be fair with you ; wo will do tho right thing by you." That may be part of the morality of chivalry, but It is not tho morality of justice. Tho widest liberty is the condition of healthiest development. Home is a happy place, I hope ; but what would a man's development bo who had only his home life? Ho would be dwarfed "cribbed, cabined and confined. " Women are today better mothers than ever before, because they have been allowed more free dom of development. Wm. Dudley Foulko Want Half Holiday The government clerks at Wash iiigton are fighting to get the legal Saturday half-holiday allowed them by Uncle Sam. The federal govern ment usually does about as it pleases in the District ot Columbia, over which it has exclusive control but the construction of an act passed by congress itself relating to holidays in the district seems to make Saturduy a legal half holiday so far as govern mental and banking operations are concerned. It is believed that the attorney-general will be called upon by the president for an opinion on the subject. Should the departments close at noon Saturdays it would amount to several hundred thousand less working hours each week for the government. Brooms May be Higher That household necessity the broom may rise in price. They have just bi;en advanced 15 cents a dozen and may go higher as the broom corn crop is very short, the total output this season only being 11000 tons as against 27,000 tons last year. It takes from 35 to 40,000 tons of corn to supply tho broom manufacturers of the United States and the shortage is so serious that a call has hi issued for a conference by the leading manufacturers. Within the past wetk corn has advanced from $00 to $110 a ton.

Our heartfelt sympathy is extend ed to Mrs. Sbafer in "her bereave ment, the loss of, her brother. We are glad of tho comfort of knowing that as a member of the Presbyterian hurch ho whs. faithful and con sistent. Mrs. Wood's birthday was cele brated today by a trip to Pawkill Falls. Such a perfect day was ap preciated after tho recent clouds and showers. Mil ford should be proud of tho Falls which are very beautiful most of the season. The tomperance causo is not particularly popular in Milford in spite of the pains the Almighty has taken to supply us with water clear as ciystal and unpolluted. If people do not. "see tho drunken men the pastors talk about," no one, at least, can fail to see how difficult it is to get men to imbibe temperance- prin-clj-'.-s and tako a courageous stand against the greatest curso that af flicts our national life. We do not believe, however, that the forcible logic of Mr. Nichols in his three resent addresses on this subject will be without its effects on thoughtful people. Wo have been informed that his addresses have been "torn to piecos" by critics of our town. 1 bavo no doubt but that Mr. Nichols would be pleased to meet and de- mnnsn inese critics m open or private debate. Tho array of facts presented hy the lecturer and roadily recognized as incontrovertible by anyone who has made even a slight study of the sociological conditions of America at the present day are stubborn things for critics to try to overthrow. Wo may differ as to methods of alleviating these con ditions but the true-spirited Ameri can must admit that he is in duty bound to exert his influonco to re. pulse the advance of an insidious foe known to bo ravaging thousands of homes, under the nrotcction of tho stars and stripes, evory year Presbyterian Chroniclings (By Uev.

The ice Cream social given last Thurday under tho auspices of the young people was very successful. The net receipts amounted to 127. Tho tl60 Estoy organ, given by the young people to the church, is now entirely paid for and the most cordial thanks of tho congregation are extended to them for their good work. Sabbath evoning, Aug 2, at 7.45 a song sorvtce will bo hold in the church. The pastor will explain the origin and give on account of the history of the following hymns : Just as I am without one plea. Stand up, stand up for Jesus. Blest be the tie that binds. From Greenland's icy mountains. One sweetly solemn thought. Rock of Ages. Nearer my God to thee. It will bo noticed that the en semble of the hymns is the story of the Christian life from repentance through the journey of life to God. The young people are contemplat ing the purchase, in part at least, of silver individual communion set. The Hainesville Reformed churcn possesses a beautiful individual servico and should by no means be tho only church in the valley having ft monopoly along this line. A cbngregational meeting was hold in the Hainesville church to make arrangements for the annual summer festival. Next Sabbath morning the regular quarterly communion service will be obsorvad at Montague. At the same service the rite of baptism will he conferred on Virginia Mo- Carey, daughter of Elder Jacob and Emma McCarty. The session of oonsistory will be held in the church parlors ot 10.15 a. m. to reoeivo those who wish to enter our fellow ship eithor by lettor or ooufession of faith's.
