Horse Scared to Death. Lewistown, Pa.—A valuable driving horse owned by Charles Snyder, a farmer residing in Ferguson Valley, reared, plunged and fell dead on Valley street here the other night when the tiand attached to an “Uncle Turn's Cabin” show hlnred forth the music of the street parade. The animal was hitched to a post on the street when the sound of the music smote Its ears. A weak heart or a quick wrench was responsible for death. The Horse in Painting.

i She Repudiates Organization Re- j puted to Promote Promiscuous Flirtation.
SUCH S SOCIETY NEEDLESS
She Founded the Original for “Jazz” j and Pocket Money—Now Buey Popularizing “Necker” and Other Slang Phrases. New York.—Life is just brimming over with excitement for the flapper these days. No sooner has the fame of one exploit ceased to be a nine days’ wonder than another comes along to lake its place. A few weeks ago >lie was reveling in the glory reflected by her adoption of the turned-down galosh as footwear for promenades on fair days rather than protection for stormy weather. Now it's the activities of the Society of Shifters that have again turned on her the spotlight of publicity. She denies, however, any responsibility for the organization which, uc•ording to Gertrude Robinsou-Sinith >1 the Vacation association, under the name of Shifters, is promoting “potling parties. ' and flirtations. As a matter of fact, the interest of the flapper in the Shifters is gone and when the name did mean something to her it w as not such an organization as that described by the head of the Vacation association, with a Fifth avenue lieudluarters and an ornate badge. “We don't need badges or secret jit' my other kind of societies to have petting parties,’” said a high-school dapper after the latest version of tin: purposes of tin* Shifters, “and who would pay for the privileges of joining a flirting society when one can have one of her own? That’s till junk, j so far as we're concerned. Somebody may have taken tip the idea and he trying to make n regular business of it. but we started it just for a ’Jazz.’” Inspiration for Pocket Money. The original Shifters, she explained, formed by a group of high-school flappers, had no officers, by-laws or headquarters except in the heads of its members. It was founded, first to provide new sources of pocket money, and secondly In the spirit of the old, familiar schoolboy game of "pass it.” Her pleas for a different sweater for every day in the week and several pairs of “last hopper” shoes (those low-heeled, horse and leather sport shoes originally designed for golfers) getting beyond the resources of the parental pocketbook, the flapper was forced to evolve some scheme for providing the articles without which she felt herself debarred from association with her kind. So she adapted the old Bnrntint maxim, “There's one born every minute,” to the innate predilection of every schoolgirl io belong to a society and wear a badge. She took a brass clip, such as used In any business office, with the characters “O. K." stamped on it and with it fastened together the two ends of tin* scurf sht had purloined from her father's stock. This clip, worn In that way, became the official emblem of the Shifters. The badge aroused curiosity. All thi girls asked the original group of found ers what it signified. “It's tlu* Shifters’ badge,” they wen told. “It's a new society. Everybody is joining. Don't you want to eomt in? You can become a member by pay ing me a quarter. Then I’ll give you a budge. That gives you the right to gel as many members as you cau. Girls of convincing tongues and la tent selling ability collected as big! as $12 a week for membership whIU the going was good. The membership fee ranged from a quarter to as much as the traffic would hear, tint was restricted chiefly to the smaller sum. So far ns the flapper was concerned, the field was quickly exhausted. Wall Street Adopts Shifter Idea. But in the meantime the Shifters had expanded into Wall street. Not for months had Wall street played a game that so tickled its fancy. Tin idea of geitiiig a fellow to pay from !?1 to .$10 for a brass clip worth a fraction of a mill appealed alike to the office boy and the head of the Arm. and the “stinging" process went merrily on. Now. apparently, some near I’onzl has capitalized the flapper's idea into a commercial proposition and has invested money In printing a by-laws and making ornate badges in the hopes of reaping a huge profit. But tin* new society of Shifters interests the flapper only in so fur as It pays a tribute to her cleverness. She is done with it. Site has other and more Important matters on hand, the most important of which just now Is the popularizing of four new phrases, one slu- Inis adopted from the theater and three she coined herself. Front the theater she has taken the phrase "1 will so say,” spoken by the French ftither who essays American slang in Trent* Bordoni's “The French Doll." The flapper has discarded ‘Til say so” and her "I will so say” Is her ntosr emphatic affirmative in classroom and Broadway. The epithets site hits evolved fror her own lexicon are “junk,” “necker' and “heavy necker.” ".Truk” Is any tlih g slu* considers unimportant or unworthy of consideration. A “necker’ Is a "petter” who puts her arms rounit a hoy s neck. A "heavy necker" Is n “petter" who hangs heavily it aid neck. "Necking parties” hnvt superseded "petting parties,"
Bureau of Plant Industry Making Study of Plant for Purpose of Eradicating It.
SCATTERS BLACK STEM RUST
Plant Is Most Persistent and to Make Destruction Complete Digging Must Be Thorough—Root System Extensive. (Prepared by the United States Department of Agriculture.) The office of cereal Investigations of bureau of plant industry of the United States I department of Agriculture, is making u study of the habits of the common barberry with a view of improving the methods of eradicating the shrub. As is well known, the common barberry spreads black stem rust of wheat, oats, barley and rye. In the past four years, during which a systematic program of eradicating the common burberry has been in progress in the 13 North-Central states, digging lias been practically the only method employed. The experience of these years has shown that the shrub Is a most persistent plant, and that, to he effective, digging must be most thorough. Extensive Root System. The root system of the common barberry is extensive. The roots of a bush four or five feet tall may penetrate the soil to a depth of three to five feet and spread laterally an equal distance. In larger hushes the root spreail Is considerably greater. The root system of the plant varies somewhat witli the kind of soil. In woodlands where a layer of rich humus soil caps a more compact and less rich stratum of soil, the roots are chiefly confined to the hmnus layer, hut extend laterally considerable distances. <tn the other hand, in a type of soil which is fairly uniform at its various levels the root system is more deep-rooted, and frequently less extensive In its lateral spread. A rather constant character of the barberry root system, however, is the occurrence of at least a few relatively superficial lateral roots running a few inches beneath the soil surface. This holds true even in those bushes which have deeply penetrating roots. It Is chiefly from such laterals that sprouts originate following digging. Hence, precautions need to he taken in digging to follow out along these surface roots and to remove all of them from the soil. Reserve Food Material. The roots of the barberry store within them large quantities of reserve food material. This enables them to send up sprouts readily when the tops are cut at the ground line. Moreover, a portion of a root left In the ground may have sufficient re-

serve strength to give rise to one or more leafy shoots. Those who have dug barberries realize that in the ease of a large hush It is extremely difficult to find and remove all roots capable of sending fortli sprouts. This means of course that a close watch must he kept for the appearance of sprouts and their removal effected. In Che eradication of the barberry it is necessary to make, later, one or more Inspections of the place where a hush was dug to locate and destroy sprouts if they appear. SUDAN GRASS IN DRY AREAS
Crop Requires Hot Weather for Best Results—Makes Hay Which Is Low in Protein. Sudan grass is one of the nonsaecharlne sorghums and resembles the others In many ways. It makes a hay which is low in protein and hence is not a very good hay for milk cows or growing animals, though it is a good hay for idle horses. It requires hot and dry weather conditions for best results and hence does well in the dry and hot areas.
PALATABLE FEED FOR STOCK
Peanut Hay Is Particularly Suitable for Dairy Cows and Other Kinds of Animals. Peanut hay Is palatable for all kind* of farm stock, particularly dairy cows and young animals, hut it should be fed to hard-worked animals with caution. If is highly recommended aia substitute for alfalfa niesl in poultry rations. Its use will reduce the feed hill, particularly when the poul try Is confined.
