The machine was completely wrecked as it was turned upside down. Miss Florence Baker who was in berry patch nearby caught the horses after they had run a considerable distance. The horses escaped injury and are none the worse for the mishap. rrr al A lo rset monet A Rare Treat Miss McDonald of State College has arranged to give to the ladies of Mount Joy, Florin and community a free demonstration in canning and a very interesting lecture by Miss Potts on Friday afternoon, at 2:30 in the M.

Come one, come all There are conservative days and all house-wives should see the neces- sity of canning all available vege- tables for the coming winter and be willing to learn all the best points in keeping it well, with no risk of spoil- ing, whereby losing time, effort and material. ree ER A a PP. ah)g A Pleasant Surprise Mrs. Frank H.
