Ezra Collingwood, of Near Milner's Corner, Suffers Fire Loss.

The home of Ezra Collingwood, one mile north of Milner's Corner,' was burned Friday, together with considerable of his household goods. Mr. and Mrs. Collingwood were not at home, but their daughters were there and were eating dinner when the fire was discovered. It caught upstairs. The Milner's Corner telephone exchange switch-board was in the house and was partially wrecked. Mr. Collingwood had a small amount of insurance in the Farmers' Mutual Company.

Does the Woodlot Pay? The woodlot should be regarded as a crop of trees. As such, is the woodlot a paying investment It it growing the most valuable kinds of trees and as many to the acre as it should?

An investigation of the woodlot conditions throughout the state shows that the woodlots are not producing one-half as much as they should. There are over 4,000,000 acres of woodland in Indiana, growing half a crop, which is equivalent to $2,000,000 acres of idle land. Can the state afford .this? It is a deplorable fact that the woodlots are being neglected and owners should begin at once to improve them. The cost is small- and the way easy.

The first thing to be done is to fence it and then keep all kinds of stock out of it. Browsing animals destroy the second growth which is essential to a productive woodlot. Then the open spaces in the woodlot should be planted. This may be done by using nuts or seedlings. The quality of the stand should be gradually improved, and when timber or fuel is needed, trees of a low commercial value should be cut, and replaced with more valuable species. When trees are cut they should be felled so as to do as little damage as possible to the

standing trees and when hauling as few trees as possible should be cut in making roads. It is best to maintain a few roads in the woods as outlets, which will also serve as fire lanes.

The principal trees to be removed are the beech, maples, black oaks, dogwoods, ironwood, sassafras and water elm. These have a low commercial value and the beech and maples produce such a dense shade that nothing will grow under them. Three ash or yellow poplar will mature on the same area that is required by two beech or maple, and in addition will permit a vigorous second growth which will take their place when they are cut. The trees that grow the most rapidly, and have the highest commercial value and for these reasons are recommended for planting, are the white ash, yellow poplar and black walnut. In addition to these the white, burr and red oaks, hickories and Linn may be used.

The State Board of Forestry has issued two publications which gave detailed descriptions of woodlot conditions and complete instructions for their improvement. These valuable books are free and may be obtained by writing the Board at Indianapolis.

The Sound Sleep of Health is not for those suffering from kidney ailments and irregularities. The prompt use of Foley Kidney Pills will dispel backache and rheumatism, heal and strengthen sore, weak and ailing kidneys, restore normal action, and with it health and strength. Mrs. M. F. Spalsbury, Sterling, 111., says: "I suffered great pain in my back and kidneys, could not sleep at night, and could not raise my hands over my head. But two bottles of Foley Kidney Pills cured me."

VALENTINE BIRTHDAY SURPRISE PARTY

GREENFIELD REPUBLICAN, THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 22, 19124

Mrs. William Dismore, of Brandywine Township, Victim of Well Planned Program by Friends

The many friends of Mrs. William Dismore gave her a birthday surprise on the 14th of February, in the way of a Valentine social, at her home in Brandywine township. There were about fifty persons in attendance. The program included among other pleasant features, a valentine drawing, in which everybody received a valentine, some as many as a half dozen, and Mrs. Dismore many very beautiful ones. Refreshments of cake, pie and fruit were served.

One very enjoyable feature of the event was the manner in which Mrs. Dismore was surprised. Under the guise of inviting the neighbors to make a farewell call upon Mr. and Mrs. James A. SwTain, who wTill soon move to Shelby county, Mrs. Dismore was authorized to invite all the neighbors to meet at her home on the night of the 14th to surprise Mr. and Mrs. Swain, and she was not wise to the fact that she is reality was the victim of the surprise until they had gathered at her home, and she and family were ready to go to the Swain home, when the assembled guests took possession of the program and informed her that as it was her birthday they guessed they would not go to Mr. Swain's but would make the surprise on her. Then she understood that she had been trapped and surprised. It was a very pleasant affair.

How Cold Affects the Kidneys. Avoid taking cold if your kidneys are sensitive. Cold congests the kidneys, throws too much work upon them, and weakens their action. Serious kidney trouble and even Bright's disease may result. Strengthen your kidneys, get rid of the pain and soreness, build them up by the timely use of Foley Kidney Pills. Tonic in action, quick in results. M. C. Quigley.

CONSUMED BY FIRE

Roach-Brown Plant Burns With Much Finished Stock—Loss May Be $10,000, Half Insured.

The Roach-Brown furniture factory and a part of their lumber yard at Cumberland was burned near mid-night Thursday night, together with a barn owned by Charley Witte and some other small buildings. It is not known just how the fire originated, but it is thought to have started in the finishing room. A large quantity of finished furniture was burned, but some of the lumber in the yard was saved. The loss may total $10,000. with about half of that amount of insurance.

The plant will be rebuilt at once, probably in a different location nearer the railroad. It is understood that the Cumberland people will help to start the factory again in the way of a bonus.

Almost Lost His Life.

S. A. Stid, of Mason, Mich., will never forget his terrible exposure to a merciless storm. "It gave me a dreadful cold," he writes, "that caused severe pains in my chest, so it was hard for me to breathe.

I did so and two bottles completely cured me." Use only this quick, safe, reliable medicine for coughs, colds, or any throat or lung trouble. Price 50c and $1.00. Trial bottle free. Guaranteed by M. C. Quigley.

SELLS 1HE CREAMERY TO

L. II. Brown Will Retire March 1st and Mr. Hagans Will Take Charge at Old Stand.

L. H. Brown has sold his creamery business to Richard Hagans, who has been running a dairy farm south of the city for several years. The change in proprietors will be made March 1st. Mr. Brown has been in the creamery business here for two years and has been very successful. He has had v3ry poor health for several months, however, and wants to get out in the sunshine. He has been a clever and accommodating business man and has made many friends.

Mr. Hagans is no stranger to the business, as he has been engaged in it before and has operated a dairy for twelve years or more. He has almost a hundred head of Jersey cattle on his farm and will furnish all his own milk, as he has been furnishing Mr. Brown all his milk since he started. Mr. Hagans will retail the milk from the wagons and will also maintain the depot on Pennsylvania street as heretofore.

DEEDS FOR RECORD

County Recorder Receives Three Made in 1S34-5—To William Oldham—Well Preserved.

Recorder J. E. Sample received for record today, three deeds executed and signed by President Andrew Jackson. The deeds are heavy parchment paper and are well preserved, notwithstanding the actthat they were issued 78 years ago. Every written word is plain and easily read.

One of the deeds conveys 80 acres to William Oldham by the United States and each of the other two convey 40 acres. It is seldom that one of these old documents is unearthed and for that reason they are more or less of a curiosity to the people of this generation. All of the deeds referred to above are in the possession of the same party.

Another Coming.

An Irishman was standing near the railroad when a freight train passed. Tlierq was a green flag on the rear of the caboose. The Irishman asked a man standing near him what the green flag meant. The man answered that "It means another coming." A few days later on one Sunday afternoon, the man met the Irishman with his wife, and they were wheeling a baby in a little carriage. The carriage had a green flag on it.
