John Adams was a law­ yer, a member of the Continental con­ gress and chairman of the committee on war and ordinance. He was elected president of the United States in 1797 The day of his death he was awakened by the ringing of bells and firing of can­ non. He was asked if he knew what it t was. "Oh, yes," he replied; "it is the (dorions fourth of July. God bless it! In the course of the day he said. "It is a glorious day." Bis last words were. "Jefferson still lives." 'But at that mo- .

Professor James J&xiwn Scott, who has been appointed to this position, is a graduate of Harvard College with highest honors. He was awarded a traveling fellowship by Harvard Univ»rsity, and spent some jeare in study abroad, taking the degree of J. D. DTat Heidelberg. Since 1896 he haa been Dean of the Law School at Loe Angeles, California. Mr. Scott is a brilliant student, and has been very suc- fitti in his present position. The School of Law has now four men devot­ ing themselves wholly to the teaching of Inw, besides a number of special lectures. The school was founded only two years ago and has already abundantly justified its institution. If %V fer 7\Vvj: PROBATE COURT NEWS is the place to trade is you aw PROBATE NEWS. of W. W.

In a recent issue of the Chameleon, s bright monthly published by the Sher­ win-Williams Company for the interest and benefit of their employes, is a littk article that is well calculated to awaken faith in The Sherwin-Williams Paints. The article points out how universally railroads have adopted The Sherwio- Williams Paints. Whatever faults m>n may find in railroad corporations, stu­ pidity or carelessness in purchasing is not one of their shortcomings. Selee tion of paints, as of everything elfe that enters into constructi in and repairs, is made on the coldest and most calcula­ ting business basis. There is a volume of significance, then, in the state­ ment that forty-five of the leading rail­ roads are users of The Sherwin-Williams Paints, the list including, the Erie, New York Central, Lahigh Vallf^tPhila. and Reading, Pennsylvania, Canadian Pacific.

Farmers have tried all manners of •ehemes in fencing. Fence agents have made vast sums of money selling farm­ ers fence material. Their first craz8 was the building of willowV fence. These to be profitable and were super­ added by osage orange and hedge, which has held its own for several years. Of late years farmers have grown to look npon it as an expensive and troublesome feoce, tfbd many farmers have grubbed ^hem out. But it remained for the past aevere winter to finish osage as a fence in this section. The osage fence is prac­ tically all winter killed and it is doubt- All if any will ever be planted again in this part of the State.

This takes the place aud does the work of | an independent stacker. It oscillates automatically, is easily swung to ' right angles with the separator to carry the straw to either stack or barn. J This stacker has been demonstrated by thorough and practical tests in ' the field to be the handiest, most efficient swinging stacker ever attached to a thresher.
