Well, sonny; we weculd like to know What you intend to do; Tor goodness sake, there. get to work And earn some money, too, Or you will be compelled to go And labor all your life, And never own a foot of iand. Or place to keep your wife. The crops were never better, and the Fruit is stered away, And now we cannot understand. Why you don’t have any pay. Why you ar2 now compelled to go A little farther west, And hunt vou up & singing mate, And build for her a nest. There's time enough to speculate Upon your plans for life. The hair's just spreuting on your face. But vou must have a wife. The height of your ambition seems To be to cut and swell, You surely know you had your share, Of what there was to sell. Tt will take a little fortune, To supply her food and clothes, But that is not the only way In which the morey goes. Instead of zoing with her now To every show and dance, Roll up your sleeves and get to work, You bet you have a chance. Let's be limited with our boy, For he is our only son, We know the steps up street he took, Were always gladly done. Perhaps he has his defects, But you may search this world around. I don’t believe an clder boy Can any where be found. Let's give him some encouragement, Before it gets too late, And make him here a happy home. To bring his singing mate. Our homes must be their shelter When our locks are thin and gray, And blessings be upon them, When at last we pass away. U. N. KNOWN. 'BOALSBURG. Wm. Goheen is having a concrete walk built.

No “Joker” in Child Labor Bill, New York, Oct. 5th.—The utter falsity as well as the unfairness of the Republican attacks upon the child labor law, participated in by Candi- date Hughes, as well as by his cam- paign managers, is demonstrated in a signed statement of Albert B. Cum- mins, the Republican United States Senator from Iowa, made public this week. Characterizing the alleged discov- ery by Chairman Wilcox of the Re- publican Nationzl committee of a “joker” in the child labor law as “without any foundation whatever,” and stigmatizing the persons who have been giving them publicity as “either insincere or incompetent,” Senator Cummins riddles the claims of both Mr. Hughes and his campaign managers and declares the child labor law, as enacted by Congress and signed by President Wilson, is cer- tain to “effectuate the humane pur- poses toward which the friends of child labor legislation have for a long time been striving.” The partisan attack upon this meas- ure was first given publicity in an au- thorized statement by Chairman Wil- cox, who astounded the friends of child labor reform by characterizing the Democratic measure as “a fraud and a sham.” Candidate Hughes, in a speech at Milwaukee, sought him- self to belittle and discredit the law. Upon that occasion he said, in part: “Our opponents claim to have emancipatea child labor. As a body, they have not emancipated child la- bor. If our opponents are gzenuinely devoted to the interests of children, let them aci; in States under their con- trol and there will be no child labor problem in the United States.” Senator Cummins’ statement is not only a complete answer to these Re- publican attacks, but is a rebuke to those responsible for giving them publicity. His views are set forth in a letter to Owen R. Lovejoy, general secretary of the National Child Labor Commission, September 23 and made public today. A Bridge More Than Five Miles Long. San Francisco is planning to build the greatest bridge in the world, says the “Popular Science Monthly” for October. 1t is to connect Oakland and its contiguous districts with San Francisco, and is to relieve five ferry systems of passenger and vehicular traffic. The proposed bridge will cost, $22,000,000 and will be five and one- half miles long. Its main portion is to be made up of sixteen spans each 250 feet long. Near the San Francis- co shore there will be two long and high spans under which the ships will pass. CASTORIA Bears the signature of Chas. H.Fletcher.

London, Oct. 5th.—Combles, the pivotal point in the German line guarding the approacn to Bapaume, on the north, and Peronne on the south of the Somme front, has fallen before the terrific attacks of the French and British, the Germans fighting to the death or surrendering when there was no longer hope. French and British troops swept in from three sides after their capture of Morval and Fregicourt, broke through the German defences, over- ran the town and carried all before them. This place, with its marvelous subterranean passages and powerful fortification, had been caught in the grip of the entente 2llies, who, com- ing from the north and the south, had already advanced far beyond it and cut off communication with the rear except a narrow strip, which was covered by the allied guns. At the end of the fighting the town was filled with the bodies of Germans who had fallen fighting, the French official statement says. Prior to the loss of Combles, the ef- fect of the victories of the French and British armies, in the capture of important strategic points on the previous day, was reflected in the of- ficial communication issued by the war office at Berlin, which, after de- scribing briefly the great artillery bombardment of the entente allies lasting four days, and the attack be- tween the Ancre and the Somme, ad- mits that “the conquest of the vil- lages on the line of Gueudcourt must be recognized,” and adds: “But before all we must think of our he- roic troops, who have faced the united Anglo-French principal forces and the massed employment of material of the whole world’s war industry, prepared during many months.” Both Thiepval, at the northwestern end of the British line, and the forti- fied town of Gueudecourt, northwest of Les Boefus, also have fallen into the hands of the British. Around the former places many hard battles have been fought since the inception of the great entente offensive on July 1. Gen. Sir Douglas Haig’s men, after capturing Thiepval drove on eastward and took the Zollern redoubt, a strongly fortified position which lies between Thiepval and the bending in of the British line at Ccurcelette. The French, likewise, advanced he- yond Fregicourt and. captured the wood between that village and Morval and the greater part of the German fortified positions lying between this wood eastward across the Bethune road to the western portion of the St. Vaast wood, nipping off anotier por- tion of the German line of communi- cation to the south of Bapaume. The German casualties in the fight- ing are declared by Paris to have been heavy, and, in addition, during the two days’ fighting, more than 1,200 Germans were made prisoner hy the French, while the British took in excess of 1,500. Large quantities of booty, including machine guns, were taken by the entente allies. Whales De Not Spout Water. Since a whale breathes air, when it is below the surface the breath must be held, for if water should be taken into the lungs the animal would drown. Thus as soon as a cetacean comes to the surface its breath is ex- pelled and a fresh supply inhaled he- fore it again goes down. The breath which has been held in the lungs for a considerable time un- der pressure is highly heated, and as it is forcibly expelled into the colder outer air, it condenses, forming a col- umn of steam. A similar effect may ke produced by any person if or a frosty morning the breath is suddenly blown from the mouth. That whales spout out of the blow- in through the mouth is probably more widely believed than any other popu- lar misconception. As a matter of fact, such a performance would be impossible because a whale’s nostrils do not open into the back of the mouth, as do those of a man, and the animal is not able to “breathe through its mouth” as can ordinary land mammals.—Roy Chapman An- drews in the New York Independent. Popular Implements. Census figures between 1909 and 1914 show a marked increase in cer- tain farm implements. Corn huskers and shredders and corn and bean har- vesters show the greatest amount of increased popularity. Other implements showing a gain in public favor are grain drills, spring-tooth harrows, and grain har- vesters. ——Subscribe for the WATCHMAN Medical.

At night my rest was broken by having to pass the kidney secretions too frequently and in the morning I felt tired. I had pains across the small of my back some- times.

The white oak has served for more useful purposes than perhaps any other tree and its wood today is worth as much as mahogany. Furniture of “solid oak” is now a rarity for the wood has become so expensive that it is used in the form of veneer over baser wood. So used, it loses none of its beauty and even the thin veneer resists wear for an incredibly long time. This wood was a useful one to the early agriculturalists as well 4s to those of the present day. It was dur- able when exposed to the elements and was also durable in contact with the soil. It was and is still used in fencing, and much of the second growth of white oak timber in Amer- ica is now being cut for railroad ties. Ties of this timber bring the highest price and some of the larger roads will accept nothing else.—The Outing. "Not Likely. “Can I have another cream, mother?” . “No, Freddie.
