HUMORIST WRITES
ROADS SIGNS BETTER
THAN HE KNOWS
Hard Road Sense in Fun for the
Press
“Bugs” Baer, a well known news-
paper humorist, has written and pub-
lished a series of “road signs,” prob-
ably merely intended to entertain.
But many of them might be erected
with benefit to the safety of traffic.
“Don’t run up your mileage with
skids,” contains a lot of real cau-
tion in tabloid form. “Don't do
your thinking with poor brakes,”
will strike a responsive chord in
every man who has near-nervous
prostration at the sight of the reck-
less driver stopping in a hurry.
“There are three grades of eggs,
but only one grade of crossing and
tat’s dangerous,” ought to be post-
ed in the hat of all those who try to
“beat the train’ across its right of
way.
“The glass in your windshield is
the same stuff they put in hospital
windows. Which will you look
through?” is a very pertinent query,
and “Fifteen miles an hour may be |
a chill but fifty is fever,” is not too |
medical to be understood.
To towns troubled with too much
speeding by tourists, Mr. Baer sug- |
gests “Speed limit in this town fif-
teen miles an hour. One day for
seven hotels and one jail, take your
every mile over that!” or “We have
pick!”

vote of the membership for the
disposal or sale of a certain number
of acres of land restricted to the
number now held.
In 1720 the meeting house was
built. It was a low, one-story, barn-
like structure of logs, boarded up
and down on the outside, The build-
ing was thirty feet square with a
steep roof. The pulpit was a small
box, three feet wide, circular in
front and so high that the minister's
head could only be seen.
The first minister called to Derry
was William Bertram, duly and for-
mally installed in 1732. He served
until his death which occurred in
1746. His successors Revs.
John Roan, John Elder, Nathanial
Snowden, Joshua Williams, James
Russel Sharon and John M. Boggs.
The last to be heard in the old
church was the Rev. A. D. Mitchell,
who preached at late as 1874.
The original building became un-
safe on account of age and was
torn down in 1884 to make place for

Chiricahua National Monument in
the Coronado National Forest, Ariz. |
This brings the total number of na-
tional monuments under the super-'
vision of the Forest Service United
States Department of Agriculture,
up to 15.
The Chiricahua National Monu-
ment comprises an area of about
4,200 acres located in the Bonito
and Jesse James Canyons on the
west slope of the Chiricahua Mount-
ains, close to the Mexican border.
It contains a number of rhyolitic
rock formations eroded into pecu-
liar shapes. The most typical for-
mations are pillars of from 6 to 26
feet in diameter and from 50 to 200
feet high. A number of balanced
rocks are also within the area, the
largest one having a base of 5 feet,
a diameter of 25 feet and a height
of 30 feet.

Culture of Mushrooms
Eighty-five per cent of the mush-
rooms produced in the United States
are grown in Pennsylvania. To an-
swer the many requests for infor-
mation on this crop a circular has
been prepared by the agricultural
extension department of the Penn-
sylvania State College, giving direc-
tions for the culutre of mushrooms.

| Guatemala Grass—Feed for Tropics
Guatemala grass, introduced a
"few years ago by the United States
Department of Agriculture from
Central America and Mexico, is now
! being used on a large scale by dairy-
{ men in southern Florida. More late-
ly it was introduced into Hawaii and
the Philippines. It is considered an
extremely desirable forage crop for
dairymen in all parts of the Tropics.
The stems of this grass become
very thick, as much as 2 inches in
diameter at the base, but the whole
stem, even to the bottom, is tender
and succulent and relished by cattle
and many other animals. The grass
is extremely leafy and therefore pro,
duces a large quantity of desirable
feed. The department considers it
' primarily a grass to feed green and
believes it will make excellent silage.
At Miami, Fla.,, Guatemala grass
reaches full maturity, but no germ-
inable seed has been produced there.
As a consequence the plant is propa-
gated by dividing the clumps or by
using the joints from the lower stem.
When joints are used it has been
found best to plant them in moist
sphagnum ox Spanish moss until
roots about an inch long have form-
ed; then these rooted joints may be
planted in rows 8 feet apart and 8
to 4 feet apart in the rows.

How Large Can Hailstones Be?
The weather Bureau of the Unit-
ed States Department of Agriculture
is frequently asked what is the max-
imum known or possible siz of hail-
stones. According to its
and documents in the Weather Bu-
possi-
ble size of a single hailstone can not
be positivley stated, but stones larg-
er than a man’s fist and weighing
over a pound have several times been
reported on good authority, During
a hailstorm in Natal, on April 17,
stones fell that weighed a
pound and a half, and passed thru
a corrugated-iron roof as if it had
been made of paper. Hailstones 14
inches in circumference fell in New
South Wales, February, 1874. At
Cazorla, Spain, on June 15, 1829,
houses were crushed under blocks
of ice, some of which are said to
have weighed four and a half
pounds. In October, 1844, a hail-
storm at Cette, France, wrecked
houses and sank vessels.
Authentic reports of the finding
of hailstones much larger than those
above mentioned undoubtedly refer
in all cases to masses of ice result-
ing from the coalescence, after fall-
ing, of a number of smaller hail-
stones lying closely packed toget-
her on the ground.
