For the first time in years the farmers have had good returns for their crops. A few more years of the kind would be followed by In creased land values. In fact there has been a perceptible increase within the past year or two. With money netting only about three per cent, farming lands become more Inviting to capitalists.

W eath e r Observer White, who was, at one time, stationed at Rochester, once said, \Verily the climate of Western New York to wonderful to behold.” It only requires records o f a few weens to dem onstrate the truth of the above remarks, but a few times each year we are very forcibly reminded of the erratic nature of Western New York weather, the latest being last Saturday. From a temperature of 530 Friday night the mercury rose to 64 50 Saturday afternoon. This rise was caused by strong south winds in front of a storm central in Ontaria, Canada, and extending in a trough to Georgia. While the temperature here was 64°, the West j and North showed temperatures of 30° to 40° below zero. There was a range of ioo° between Penn Yan and the northern shores o f Lake Superior. The storm cen ter passed ns late Saturday afternoon and the low temperature of its western half began to enter. At 8 p. m. Saturday the thermometer read 34°, at 10 p, m. 3a0, and at midnight it had fallen to 26° — a fall o f 390 since afternoon. At 10 a. m. Sunday the reading was 180, and at 7 p. m. it had fallen to 90—a fall of 56° io a little over 24 hours. The rainfall up to 8 p. m. Saturday was 1.16, inches, and for the following 24 hours it was 0.82 of an inch, part of the latter being sleet and snow. A l a d met on the train the other day to!d, in answer to questions, that his name was Abram Comsky, his age 13 years, and his home Philadelphia, where he was one of the seven children of a Hebrew born in Russia. The boy was traveling, sell ing stationery from house to house, had sold (7 worth in Canandaigua that day, and was expected to and usually did send home (6 a week to help maintain the family,which Included four girls at school, and to be put in the bank, some day to be divided among the children. How many boys born in our country are thus self-reliant and successful at that age? How many are expected to contribute to the family support when 13 years old ? Nowadays a boy who \will take his own time and support himself to getting to be a rarity— Watkins Express . Years ago it was not uncommon for boys 13 years of age to contribute to the family support. They were obliged to. But it to very rare now, and the change to largely due to false education or no edu cation at all. Then the brightest boys had the laudable ambition to learn trades, and such ambition was encouraged by parents. Now the highest ambition of many a youth is to lead a seal-akin exist ence on a rat-skin income, and in order to accomplish this he early parts his hair In the middle, fluffs it low down on hie forehead, and puts a pen wiper on the back of his head for a cap. O f course, there are exceptions—many of them— but they are not as numerous as they should be, and not as numerous as they would be with rational home training. Sunday afternoon a lad,.by the name of Wingate, was arrested by one of the Penn Yan Police force on the charge of steal ing a watch belonging to John Kirkham. Kirkham is employed by the flouring mills of Clarence T. Birkett, and it to al leged that the young lad, while io tbe mill, went to the man's pocket and took the watch and later in the day attempted to dispose of it at the lunch wagon on Jacob street. Monday he was taken be fore Justice Baker for his hearing, but the case was postponed. The lad has before appeared in the local police court and has once or twice been sent to the Albany institution. £ . C. B. A. Election . Penn Yan Branch, L. C. B.
