Ye Old-Tyme Quilts. Entertainments fcr October, “Woman's Heme Companion.” A quilt show was the novel enter- tainment planned by the woman’s so- ciety of a church in a progressive Western town. Committees were appointed to search the neighboring country for examples of old-time patchwork and advertise the undertaking. Prizes were offered for the oldest quilt, the most beautiful, the most unique de- sign, and the best workmanship. The exhibit was held in the town hall, and was open frcm ten in the morning till ten at night. The walls were hung with the gay- colored quilts, and long tables and clotheshorses were also used for the display. Besides the cld-fashioned quilts made of bright-colored bits of calico and muslin, silk piecework and knit and crocheted coverlets were shown. Some beautiful examples of modern design and handiwork were also en- tered in the contest. A tea-table corner was fitted up, where young girls in old-fashioned garb served tea, coffee, cocoa, and sandwiches, pickles and cake at a moderate charge. An old-style New England dinner was served at 6 o’clock—chicken pie, baked beans, brown bread, cabbage salad, and pumpkin pie. In the evening a short concert of old-time songs such as “Ben Bolt,” “The Quilting Party,” “When You and I were Young, Maggie,” and the like, was given by singers in old- fashioned dress. Great interest was evinced in the quilt show, throngs of people attend- ed, and a large sum was realized for the society, for visitors all admired the popular Log Cabin and Nine Patch, the wonderful and intricate Rising Sun, Rose of Sharon, Tulips, Cherry Trees, Jacob’s Ladder, and Ocean Wave. Patterns of the old-fashioned patch-work designs were on sale and brought in a good profit for the socie- ty. from the Easy Enough. “How do you manage to tell the Robinson twins apart?” “It’s very simple. If you see one of them and think it’s Dorothy, it’s sure to be Ruth, and vice versa.”—Ex. ——*“So you spent a quiet vacation on the farm?” “I thought it would be, but dogs were barking, frogs croaking, and the farmer’s baby was teething.”—Buffalo Express. CASTORIA Bears the signature of Chas.H.Fletcher. In use for over thirty years, and The Kind You Have Always Bought. German Production of French Iron. The real reason for Germany’s per- sistent attempt to take Verdun is said by Fernand Engerand, a member of the French Chamber, to be a desire for permanent possession and use of the iron mines of Briey. His argu- ment and statistics have been develop- ed by Lucien Chassainge into an arti- cle published in the “Journal”, of Paris. In the opinien of this French statesman, German military leaders and diplomatists have long bore in mind the extension of boundaries to include nearby mineral resources which the empire itself lacks. Thus in 1871 the acquisition of French Lor- raine brought iron mines which now produce three-fourths of Germany’s total production. Since 1807, Germany has had to buy minerals of France; and in 1913 France sold her four million tons. From that time, this Frenchman as- serts, German economists recognized the desirability of acquiring such re- sources as the war of 1870-71 had left France, and German national aspira- tions concentrated on the mines of France and Belgium. He also main- tains that: Before war was declared Germany was on the mining land of Briey, and after the victory of the Marne, victorious France had no war material, nor means of manu- facturing war materials. Between 70 per cent. and 90 per cent. of her production of mineral, of coke, of cast iron, and of steel was gone. One hurdred and twenty-seven high furnaces were running for France in 1913, while early in August, 1914, ninety- five of them were held by the Germans. Indomitable energy saved France during that perilous period, and all that time Germany was forging cannon and making shells with French mineral. : Germany is dependent upon Briey for her war material. On the 20th of May, 1915, her six great industrial and agricultural associations wrote to Chancellor von Bethmann-Hollweg: The manufacture of shells demands iron in a quantity so great that no one could have formed an idea that so much could be used, had not our.need of it been dem- onstrated. During the past few months we have needed 4000 tons of the gray cast used in making the inferior shells which we use in place of the shells made of cast steel and drawn steel. If we had not heen able to double the production of rough- iron and steel since the month of August, 1914, it would have been impossible to con- tinue the war. As raw material for the manufacture of great quantities of rough iron and steel, “minette” (the Lorraine material) is be- coming more and more important, that mineral only can be extracted from our own ground in rapidly increasing quanti- ties. Minette now covers from 60 per cent. to 80 per cent. of the production of rough iron and steel. We might count the war as very nearly lost should our production of minette be disturbed. : This quotation shows how important TF'rench iron is to the Germans. They need Belgian coal for their allies and for their commerce with the neutrals. The Belgian coal mines and iron mines of Briey are the two elements that the Germans most require for their war. Loss of those elements, Deputy Engerand declares, would mean the annihilation of German military power. Panama Canal Chains. The huge locks of the Panama Ca- nal are guarded by massive chains stretched across the channel. No ves- sel can crash into the gates at any of the locks because of the fenders, plac- ed seventy feet from each gate and near the surface of the water. If the chains are struck by a boat they grad- ually yield to the force, paying out to a certain distance, which depends ap- on the violence of the impact. The mechanisms which regulate the chain fenders are installed on either wall. A system of hydraulic cylinders is used for raising and low- ering the chains. The action of the fenders when struck by a boat is mod- ified in part by the friction produced in the machinery, but mainly by the resistance produced by water flowing through valves.—Popular Science Monthly. The Criminal. “Yeu admit then,” said the Judge sternly, “that you asked this gentle- man for a nickel.” “Yes, Your Honor,” replied the pris- oner humbly. “I hadn’t had a bite to eat for twenty-four hours, and—" “Silence!” roared the Judge. “You are a self-convicted vagrant and I sentence you to thirty days in the county jail.” “Gee,” muttered the culprit as he was being led to his cell. “I s’pose if I’d asked the old gink for ten dollars I’d got a life sentence.”—New York World. The Very Same. From the Daily Oklahoman. Dispatches tell us that Colonel Roosevelt is about to travel across the continent and deliver speeches for the Republican party. Is this the same party that the Colonel designated four years ago as not to be trusted? Medical. ii Out of the Gloom MANY A GLOOMY COUNTE- NANCE IN BELLEFONTE NOW LIGHTENS WITH HAPYI- NESS. A bad back makes you gloomy. Can’t be happy with continual back- | ache. The aches and pains of a bad back Are frequently due to weak kid- neys. Doan’s Kidney Pills are recom: mended for weak kidneys. So Bellefonte citizens testify. Mrs. S. S. Leitzell, 118 E. Beaver St., Bellefonte, says: “I was troub- led by bachache in a severe form and I was nervous and run down. Dizzy spells were common. The kid- ney secretions caused me annoyance. Doan’s Kidney Pills fixed me up right good. Whenever I feel a return of the trouble, I at once get a box at Parrish’s Drug Store, and they pre- vent the attack from becoming seri- ous. Doan’s Kidney Pills are worthy of praise.” Price 50c, at all dealers. Don’t simply ask for a kidney remedy—get Doan’s Kidney Pills—the same that Mrs. Leitzell had. Foster-Milburn Co., Props., Buffalo, N. Y. 61-41 Candidates for Congress Generally for Suffrage. A great majority of the candidates for Congress, both Democratic and Republican, have declared themselves in favor of woman suffrage, in reply to inquiries sent them by the congres- sional committee of the Woman Suf- frage Association. Out of 359 replies to the .commit- tee’s inquiries, 3C8 were favorable to suffrage and an amendment to the constitution; twenty-five were unfa- vorable and twenty-six were non-com- mittal. Of the candidates in Pennsylvania, only two, Lesher, Democrat, in the Sixteenth, and Cassett. Democrat, in the Seventeenth, declared themselves against suffrage. Greist, Republican, in the Ninth, and Dreaklev, Republi- can, in the Twenty-eighth, refused to say if they would vote for a suffrage amendment if elected. 630 Acres of State Lands for Feeble- Minded Women.
