Feels Snubbed Hates Boiler Plate or Phony Newspapers and Raps Press and Saxton Herald The Bedford Inquirer disgorged its feelings last week in good style when the County Commissioners out the publication of the Mercantile List to the Bedford Gazette Everett Press and the Saxton Herald The whole article is nothing more than a plea to the people to put more dollars into the pocket of the ford Inquirer The taxpayers are led that the money is coming them but the state pays the entirely and the mercantile tax Martin Fmk of Hopewell was trans- is a state t of the acting business in

Sweek Miss Mollie Reed returned day from a visit with friends in East Freedom Howard Cessna Esq of County do not pay a cent qft the ex- pense except the merchants The tries to put the plea that the advertising should have been put in its columns but it looks the fact that the law requires the Commissioners to place the ad- on the representing the minority party of two inant political parties implying that jt must be placed in the dominant political party paper the Bedford Gazette The County Commissioners few years ago had to pay some money out of their own pockets be- transacting business

this time because at that time the decree of the Court was that the Everett Press represented the minority party of two dominant political parties The ers therefore followed the mandates of the law right In ing the advertising in the Saxton Herald the Commissioners had their discretion in the matter and we not see why the Herald should not have some of the patronage of the Republican party as well as the ford Inquirer It lican doctrines and principles and it is the only legal advertising it has had for years or ever got so far as we know It does not comport with a fraternal spirit for the Inquirer to object to this advertising going to the Saxton Herald if the wish to help that paper sir ce the Bedford Inquirer and the Everett Republican got the Constitutional Amendments aud the Herald

for many years as a preventive of scab and other diseases carried on the ers Such treatment is on the whole profitable but has several limitations which should be clearly recognized to prevent disappointment according to the specialists of the department The object of disinfecting seed toes is to destroy the germs of scab and other surface parasites which might otherwise be planted with the seed and infect the new crop Only surface infections are reached by this method It is only partially effective against deep pits of common scab Formaldehyde is less effective than corrosive sublimate against the black sclerotia or resting bodies of or russet scab and against powdery scab Neither chemical as ordinarily used will destroy silver scurf Either one will kill surface infections of blackleg but neither will reach the internal infections common in tubers from blackleg hills Neither fusarium wilt nor late blight infection in potato tubers Town Talk and Neighborhood Notes Tersely

Forget it Reason dethroned again In printing the County report the Inquirer charged over more than the Everett Republican and contended for it before the Com- missioners Finally an agreement was reached by which the Inquirer said that it would charge what the Bedford Gazette charges We are glad to know that the Bedford tte is the barometer of business for the County Commissioners and the Bedford Inquirer but the Inquirer trust itself Is It petent or Why not each tub stand on its own We would notify the Inquirer that it had better make the Everett Republican its standard in prices be- cause our charges will be under that of the Everett Republican and it will miss a few dollars for following the Gazette which will cairse it to lose hours of peaceful rest We would not have said
