THURSDAY, DECEMBER 11, 1918 Change In Temperature. Snow and Ice Plentiful Monday Morning. After a week or more of very mild weather, this section of the country was suddenly enveloped by an area of cold air from the northwest and miny were surprised to find the ground well covered with snow Monday morning. Rain had been predicted for Sunday, and it came, arriving Saturday about midnight and continuing most of Sunday morning. Sunday afternoon the clouds broke and the sun shone bright for a short time. Sunday evening the wind began to blow, and a change was noticed in the temperature. Snow and rain fell about 9.30 p. m., and as the air cooled the pre cipitation was entirely snow. Monday morning the mercury had crept very low in the twenties. Ice half an inch or more in thickness formed on water almost any where except in streams. The sudden change made everybody get busy at the coal pile and furnace and also at their wardrobes. Winter was at their door and in command. Saturday evening light caused by light ning flashes was observed in the distance. Reports from Cumberland state that the blizzard which came with suddenness Sunday afternoon brought a drop of 30 degrees in temperature in less than 24 hours, and caused much suffering among railroad men. The snow drifted and grearly interfer ed with the railroad schedules. Passen ger trains came in from the West three and four hours late and covered with snow and ice. Wires were blown down at some points. Conditions have im proved on both the Baltimore and Ohio and Western Maryland lines as far as the movement of trains is concerned, but there is plenty of snow in the mountains. At Thomas and Elkins the thermome ter registered 18 degrees above zero, railroads had their snow plows in readi ness. At noon the thermometer stood 6 degrees above zero at Frostburg. At some points the snowfall reached nearly a foot. Boston, Dec. B.—Accompanied by a 60 mile an hour gale, a storm swept New England today, bringing snow and a 30 degree drop in temperature. New Hamp shire reported over 17 inches of snow. In Boston the storm was less severe, there being just enough snow to cover the sidewalks. Heavy rain preceded the drop in tem perature. During a sharp thunder storm one-fifth of an inch fell in 20 minutes and in the next hour the temperature dropped from 51 to 30 degrees. Tonight the weather cleared, with the thermometer registering well below freezing. Election of Officers. At a regular meeting of Jason Damuth Post No. 80 Dep’t of Md. G. A.

Ist, was captured in a vacant cottage at Charmian, Pa., last Saturday evening by residents of that vicinity. He was later taken to Waynesboro and placed in jail. Gibbons was making a bed on which to sleep when apprehended and made no resistance. He confessed his crime to the police. Last summer he worked for Benjamin Soliday on the mountain, and was well known by residents of the mountain about Charmian. Chancellor Lodge Elects Officers.

I Advertisement. Old Plants Advertised Under New Names. There has recently been a considerable amount of advertising, by the press and otherwise, of two beans for which highly extravagant claims are made, and for the seed of which exorbitant prices are being asked. One of these is being ad vertised under the name of the Shahon pea, with the absurd claim that on 3J acres this plant produced 70 tons of hay and 350 bushels of seed. The Shahon pea is nothing more nor less than the plant properly known as the Asparagus bean or Yardlong bean. It is a close relative of the cowpea—in fact, by most botanists considered a mere variety. In experimental tests with up ward of 20 varieties of Asparagus bean the Department of Agriculture has reach ed the conclusion that none of them could possibly compete with the better varie ties of cowpeas as a forage crop. The stems, as a rule, are much more slender and vining, and the long pods, which lie on the ground, can not be harvested by machinery. None of these 20 varieties is as productive, either in herbage or in pods, as the better varieties of eowpess. The Asparagus been derives its name from the lact that the young green pods, when used as a vegetable, have some what the flavor of asparagus. As a vege table the Asparagus bean may c .me intci somewhat more general use than it his in the past, but as a forage crop it has but little merit. Seed (If the Shahon pea, which apparently is the commonest va riety of Asparagus bean—namely, that having pinkish-buff seeds -is offered by the advertisers at $5 per pound. The same variety is offered by seedsmen in France, where the bean is more or less commonly grown, for 25 cents a pound. Another plant which has been thor oughly tested, both by the department and. the experiment stations - namely, the Jack bean—is also being extrava gantly advertised under the name of tht Giant Stock Pod bean, or Wataka bean, the seed beii)g quoted at sls per bushel. This bean has been fully treated of ir Bureau of Plant Industry Circular No. 110, which can be obtained from the de partment free upon request. While the Jack bean produces an enormous amount of beans per acre, they are not relished by stock, and no satisfactory means of utilizing them has yet been discovered. - From the U. S. Dept. Agriculture. Peraonal. Mr. Morris Stansbury, of Gettysburg, was a visitor at the Claiion Office lasf Saturday. Mr. A. D.

FLYING UPSIDE DOWN AND“LOOP -ING THE LOOP.” Spurred on by the accomplishments of Pegoud, a number of prominent flyers in France, England, and Amer ica have lately been imitating this daring Frenchman. On the 15th ult. at Versailles, Hanouille flew upside down for 20 seconds and “looped the loop* * twice in quick succession. The English aviator, Hucks, surpassed him in his Bleriot by remaining in verted 3.? seconds and making four consecutive loops. On November 18 Chevillard, with his Farnan biplane, “looped the loop” twice with a pass enger, and subsequently be turned over sideways while flying along in a straight line, thereby performing a sort of cork-screw twist. On the 21st ult., Chanteloup did three vertical circles in a high wind and, dropping from a height of 2,000 feet like! a plummet, he righted bis machine within 70 feet of the ground. H. Fee Temple flew upside down at Hendon, England, for a short distance on Xo vendier 21th, and two days later 15. 0, Hucks made six circles in a verti cal plane while descending from a height of 2,(XX) feet. Lincoln Hcachey at San Diego, Cal., “looped the loop” twice on the 25th ult., starting from a height of 2,500 feet, and on Thanks giving Day he made three such circles while descending from a slightly greater elevation. A French aviator recently had his aeroplane turn turtle while 1,500 feet in the air. As he was strapped in, he kept his sent dur ing the descent, in the course of which the aeroplane described several loops. By keeping his nerve, ho managed to regain control and to land in safety. Pegoud has made as many as ten loops in a single descent and has flown inverted for over If min utes. He has done great good by showing the flying fraternity that all is not lost when the machine capsizes in mid-air. —Scientific American. LATEST RESULTS OF THE AERO PLANE IN WARFARE. Early last month the aeroplane was used with success by Spaniards in Morocco and saved a detachment of cavalry that was attacked by a large force of natives near Ceuta. The cavalry was getting the worst of it when the Infante Alfonso chanced to arrive overhead in bis aeroplane, ac companied by other members of the aerial squadron. The Moors were so terrified that they fled and allowed the survivors of the battle to escape with their wounded. On Nov. 20th, while Lieut. Oil Rios and Capt. Rar -reiero were flying over the enemy’s camp near TVtuan, Morocco, they were bit and severely wounded, but were able to get back to camp and alight. Lieut. Oil Rios was struck by two bullets, while bis passenger received one. The height at which they were flying is not stated, but anything less than 5,000 feet is not considered a safe elevation in time of war. On Novender 23rd, as the cruiser “South Dakota” entered the the Oolden Oatc, Silas Christofferson flew over her head and dropped a sand “bomb” which struck her amid ships. This is the first time, so far as we know, that an aviator has suc ceeded in dropping a horn bona mov ing warship.—Scientific American. FORREST NOTES. Twenty states have published re ports of their wood-using industries. A good grade of excelsior is being made from fire killed Alpine fir and Engelmann spruce in Colorado. It is predicted that western yellow pine will furnish an excellent source of turpentine as the southern pine becomes exhausted. While there are five hemlocks in the United States, only two are of i any commercial importance, common ! hemlock and western hemlock. Of these two, western hemlock makes the In'ttcr lumber. Trunk manufacturers in Colorado arc abandoning the usual basswood and cottonwood for the trunk box, and are turning to Engelmrnn spruce, I which combines lightness, strength, and ease of working. CONDEMNED SAUERKRAUT. Board of Health inspectors in Bal timore discovered 7(5 barrels of real Herman sauerkraut that was brought across the ocean and after an exami nation, branded it “bad” and order- 1 ed it sent to the garbage reduction plant. Six barrels of German cauli- ' flower and six barrels of Holland Her- | ring were also condemned. I Methodist Episcopal Chnreh—Rev. H. P. Fox, Pastor. Service Sunday evening at 7.30. Rev. B. F.
