(From Buffalo Courier) ALBANY, March 12,—Murphy poli ticians w ere stirred today- when they learned of secret visit to the capi tal by Manton M. Wyvell, private secretary to W illiam J. Bryan, secre tary of s ta te. Although they have not been- taken into the confidence of ^ o s e w ith whom Mr. Wyvell confer red, the Murphy m en know the visit of Mr. Bryan’s secretary can mean no good cheer for them. Mr. Wyvell arrived this afternoon. Following a luncheon at the Fort Orange club with John N. Carlisle, commissioner of highways, and oth ers, the secretary called on Governor Glynn for a long conference. N eith er would say w h a t was said, but the Governor adm itted the discus sion had been “about general politi cal conditions in the state.” According to reports in political circles, Mr. Wyvell is interested—not eatirely on his own behalf—in help ing to bolster up the anti-Tammany men in the s tate adm inistration. While he did n o t b ring any definite message from W ashington and is not given any positive word to take back to the capital, it is understood Mr, Bry an’s secretary made clear to the Governor and others here the views held by the national 1 aders concern ing the work of reorganizing the state com m ittee. ________ HALLSPORT GRANGE Will Meet In Regular Session This Evening and Will Confer De grees Upon Large Class HALLSPORT, Mar. 19.—Hallsport Grange will m eet tonight, in regular session.

Mrs. Hile was a woman character ized by her neatness, order and in dustrious nature. During her illness she was given thoughtful attention, but the general hrqak-down of her body was too much in evidence to stay off the avenger. She leaves to mourn her loss, one son, J. Clifton, who resides on the old homestead on North Hill, one granddaughter who is nursing in a sanitarium in Boston and Haorld, a grandson, who is a' traveling compan ion \with a party in Oakland, Cal. for the w inter.

POTATO SHOW WAS A DECIDED SUCCESS Six- Hundred Separate Exhibits Were Entered a t Alfred State Agricultu ral School, Representing Eighty Varieties. ALFRED, I‘Iar. 10—^The Southern New York farm e rs are interested in potatoes. In spite of the zero w e ath er which threatbECd the tubers, schoo children, farm ers, grangers and seedmen sent exhibits to the -Potato Show recently held here, by “parcel post, by ex|.ress and by basket un til the quarters arranged for the po tato show W'^re terraced and crowded In all, about 600 separate exhibits representing 80 varieties were shown. These arranged in flats, ter races and pyrrsmids and intermingled with plams, ahd bunting representing’ the school colors, made a very at tractive display. The space .reserved for the exhibit of the rural schools perhaps received the m ost aU,ention. The children of Steuben Got n ty sent a much larg er and finer iisplay than did any oth er section, c'f the 120 plate exhibits made by ‘schools. Superintendent Brush’s district sent seventy. This is probably / ue to the fact th a t Su perintendent’Brush, h a s given a great deal of atteh- ion to home co-operat- work where the children co-operat ing with thf home and school have grown, farm i 'oducts worthy of prizes.- D istrict No. 3 of the town of Hor nell, teachei/ Miss Helen Ross, v/on the first pr.Tze of $5 giv n by A.

A Hunh of the State College of .Ag- (riculture. a t Cbrnell University, who has judged the jt^otatoes a t the State fair-for many years, was judge. The seedsmen made a very com mendable . showing. The display of the Dibble Seed Company of Honeoye Falls consisted .of thirty^w o peck ex hibits and 1 any plates. Mr. Dibble takes special i ains to be assured that his seed is true to name and his sec tion of th e . potato show had a dis tinct educational value. The Steuben Seed Company of Wayland, N. Y., showed • several fine varieties. The largest sectiorx of the Ehow was made up of--about 400 separate plates coontributed by individual farm ers and ?ave an excellent oppor tunity to study, the best potatoes of Souther* New York. The Home Economics Department of the Agricultural School displayed a case of about forty cooked products icontaining potatoes. The exhibit, h a s dem onstrated that a potato show can have an education al and practical value. The farm crops departm ent of the State Agricultural School desires to co-operate in every practical way w ith school granges and growers to produce better potatoes. It is hoped th a t a Southern New York Po tato Grower’s Association, having as one of its objects the grading and sale of potatoes to establish a repu tation for Steuben and Allegany Counties, may be organized at Farm er’s W eek next year. To Stop Session Law Printing The discontinuance of the print ing of the session laws in newspapers is the object of a hill introduced in the N. Y. State Legislature by As semblyman Dunlop, Progressive. Mr. Dunlop said that nobody reads these laws anyway and that paying newspa pers to publish them is only a spec ies of graft. OF SHORTAGE OF GAS Situation Has Been Bad During Winter Months — Residents May Protest to Public Service Commls- ... vterjiiifjaiB ANGELICA, M ar^l4.— The gas sit uation, which has\been bad in An gelica for the past few months, has again become acute. W ith the touch of zero w e ather W ednesday morning the pressure gradually diminished un til it was practically impossible to use the fuel for cooking or heating purposes, and wood stoves and oil lamps were again brought into play. The only explanation that gas offici als will give is th a t they did not op en up enough territory last year to m eet the demand. It is hoped th a t the coming summer will see the ne cessary territory opened up to sup ply the village next w inter and thus ohvate the sufferings experienced during the past months by the peo ple of this place. The citizens of the town held a m eeting in the town hall, Eeb. 20, to make protest to the gas company. No definite action has yet been tak en by the gas company. A protest may he sent to the Public Service Commission if m a tters do not im prove. POnER COUNTY HAS Editor of Potter Democrat ^^rltes. That After All You Cannot Find a Much Better Section Than Potter County. Why should not Potter County make us one of the leading agri cultural centers of Pennsylvania? asks the editor of Potter Democrat. True there are difficulties to he over come hut then she has advantages as well. Her farm s may tip up side ways in many places, her soil may give weeds in others, stones may touci elbows all over some of her fields, her seasons may resemble a salad made of storms, draughts, frosts and sunshine, but pshaw! you can’t find a country th a t raises better apples than this; look at the fields of buck wheat th a t lie like blankets over many acres of her surface! and po tatoes,—^thousands of bushels had for the trouble and stock—where can you get better opportunities than right here; w a ter—the best on earth ■bubbling from t e r hills. Yes, Potter County is all right and we just need to keep up this system of agricultur al training, of farm e rs’ meetings, of forest demonstrations, everything to assist the farm e r in determ ining what is adapted to his soil and this climate. Many do not appreciate the advantages we have here in P o tter County. Fam iliarity with advantages often breeds contempt for them. But the time is coming when this will not be rated as an inferior agricultu ral county, and many fine larm s now bear witness that that tim e 33 not far distant. t COLTS STRAYED AWAY, ONE WAS KILLED W hitesville, Saturday morning, March 14, 1914, following a three weeks’ illness w ith a serious attack of grip.

Heredity accounts for about fifty per cent, of the cases of insanity. This is encouraging. It shows th a t the shocks and conditions of modern life do not make people insane; the stren uous life merely brings out .the insan ity that is latent in some persons as a result of heredity. A noraml per son cannot be driven insane by any of the conditions of modern life. i BEACH HILL, Mar. 16.—Last F r i day, Clair Johnson turned his three fine colts out to drink.

In the case of all fish which take care of their young, a curious adapta tion of natural law to circumstances is found.
