SOMMERER COLLECTS j
EXHIBIT FOR FAIR
Henry Sommcrcr, president of the
Funnels' union, lias tuken peronal
charge of' the task of collecting ex
hibits for the district fair at Pendle
ton, says the llerrniston Herald He
has secured an excellent booth in
which to display the exhibit and has
also made special arrangements for
storing the specimens until fair time.
Mr. Som merer has covered the pro
ject pretty thoroughly on un invetl
gution tour and is cerum a number
of prizes can be secured if the grow
ers will but do their part anil give
the specimens. Persons having any
thing to send to lh fair need only
notify Mr, Sommcrcr and he will do
the rest. Last year several prises
would have been captured hud there
been the required number of speci
mens. This year this will be over
come as people have a better chance
to learn the numb'er required to en

ter Mr. Sommerer Is posted on and
Is willing to help all.
Among those things grown on the
project which should be given espe
cial attention are potatoes, alfalfa,
corn, onions, cantaloupes, watermel
ons, beets, carrots and other garden
Bluff, canned fruit and grapes.
Some of these require at least six
peeiniens, others five and some four,
but in every cast- the exhibitor should
not confine himself to tile JlM'nuer
required. Make the exhibit as largo
as possible in every case, This is
particularly true of grapes and hon
ey. There will be great quantities of
grapes here this year and the largest
exhibit at the fair should come from
this project. And honey; ke are get

Snake First t'lmi'ms tlie Mother, Then
iK-'vours Cliicks.
York, Pa. Having apparently
charmed a mother hen, a blacksnake
4 feet C inches long was found coiled
beneath her wings in Elmer Myers'
'chicken coop at Cralcyvillc, caim.y
devouring her brood.
The attention of Myers was attract
ed to a disturbance in the chicken
house during the night. Entering
with a lantern, he found the fowls
all uttering cries of fright and staring
at the brood hen which appeared to
be undisturbed. Some time elapsed
before Myers discovered tse body of
the serpent coiled beneath the spread
wings.
The snake was in the act of swal
lowing one of the chicks, and others
were huddled within easy reach, ap
parently feeling that as their mother
had given no alarm all must be well,
Myers dispatched the intruder.
Alter an examination of the hen
he was convinced that she had been
under some hypnotic Influence which
compelled her to sit rigid as the hor-J
rible feast went on under cover of
Jier sheltering mother breast.
Tells of Naorafiii-s Made to Ivcim liorj
Child Alive.
Stockton, Cal. A pitiful story of a
mother's sacrifice for her child was
told Justice Parker when Mrs J. M.
Abercornbie and Xewland HIaylock
wife brought up for prelim nary hear
ings, at the conclusion of which the
case was taken under advisement.
Mrs. Abererombie is the woman
who was accused of eloping from
Cobb county, Georgia, with an aff n-
ity. Deputy Sheriff McAllist. r relat
ed the details of a story told him at ;
the jail by Mrs. Abercrombie. She
said that her' husband brought her
from Georgia to Modesto, where he
red her to believe he was entablished
in busines. She found that he was
working for wages. He ill treated her
she said, and then left her, ostensibly
to join the navy.
She was left stranded with the child
nnd frequently was compelled to go
without food. Often, she told the jail
er, she was compelled to take 10
cent pieces which had been given to
her child on the street for candy mon
ey and use it to buy bowls of mush
or gruel. She declared that many a
time shehad watched her child eat Its
meager fare while she herself was
famished.
