Homesickness caused Billy, a cat owned by the Rev. Francis J. Hale, to walk 220 miles back to its old haunts. Hale moved from this town to South Jefferson, last May, taking Billy w-ith him. Nine months ago he wrote friends here that the cat had disappeared.

I GREAT ICE GORGE LEAVES DAMAGE OF $2,925,090 IN ITS WAKE Franklin, March 2 4 (United Tress). The great ice gorge, responsible for flood conditions which caused $2,925,000 damage at Franklin and Oil City, is only a memory today. The movements of the ice jams in this district, which began Sunday night, have been completed, and today the Allegheny River had receded to 14 feet one foot below flood level.

Ansell was allotted 45 min-uites to complete his demonstration, but finished handily in 41 minutes flat. Ansell ate his 41st, 42nd and 4 3d eggs with a spoon, but tossed down the other 45 as if one foot were resting on a rail.

As neither one of th.

men talk good English, it was difficult for the court to get at the facts in the case. Hanisky's daughter testified that Bulowski came home in an intoxicated condition and fell while walking up on the porch, bruising his face. She said that he also kicked her brother and used profane language, which prompted her father to strike him. The court finally decided that both men were to blame for the trouble and imposed a $10 fine on each. Afterward Hanisky's daughter told the court that Bulowfki owed $14 for board and she was advised to hold any of his personal belongings until the bill was PRESENTS PAPER AT D.

MEETING Following a discussion of the revision cf the by-laws of Continental Chapter, Daughters of the American Revolution, at the montly meeting yesterday afternoon, a very valuable paper on "The Five New Jersey Signers of the Declaration of Independence," was presented and read by Mrs. Edgar W. Williams.

The paper contained a wealth of data, detail and biography briefly and delightfully expressed. The devotional was conducted by the chaplain, Mrs. Oscar L. Joseph, who read a poem appropriate to the Easter season and offered prayer followed by the recitation of The American's Creed and the salute to the flag. The chapter is planning to hold a sunrise service on July 4, this sesqui-centen-nial year, in co-operation with other patriotic societies.

GREENHOUSE WORKERS AT MADISON STRIKE Madison, March 24, (INS) Owners of greenhouses in this vicinity who have been contending with a laborers' strike since the first of the month, said today that this strike would in no way affect the Easter flower market. The greenhouses here, they pointed out, grow no Easter lilies, but grow roses almost exclusively, and are continuing to grow roses in spite of the strikers. About 600 laborers are out. Last month they organized a laborers' union, and when their employers refused to recognize this union in some minor demands, they quit work.

The first arrest in the strike occurred today. Strikers have been picketing the greenhouses, bout a dozen of them, in Floral Park, Chatham, Green Valley and Madison, since the beginning of the strike. Today, Anthony Scala of Madison, according to police, threw a stick at a truck driving out of the Totty Company's place. He was arrested on a charge of disorderly conduct and fined $20 by the local police justice. There have been no other dis turbances, although local police are taking precautions.

In each of the four towns special policemen have been sworn in, to meet an emergency. In Green Valley the entire local fire department of thirty men was sworn in as special policemen.
