First Drawing to be Made Today. Washington, July 18.—Advices to- day to Brigadier General Crowder, the provost marshal general, indicated that the national lottery to determine the order of liability of ten million registered for military service could be held on Friday (today.) Prepara- tions to make the drawing on that day went ahead rapidly although a final decision cannot be made until the last Governor has actually reported that the local exemption boards in his State have finished their task. Details of the mechanism to be em- ployed in the drawing have not been revealed. It is known definitely, how- ever, that present plans are for the lottery to take place in the capitol building, with the members of the Senate and House military commit- tees as witnesses. The entire pro- ceedings is not expected to take much more than one hour. General Crowder was in conference today with the newspaper correspon- dents over arrangements for the drawing. The press is relied upon to carry to individuals throughout the country the information as to when they will be required to appear be- fore exemption boards and for that reason every effort is being made to suit the convenience of the papers as to details. The task of transmitting the long list of numbers by telegraph is a prob- lem of considerable proportions but the press associations and the tele- graph companies are making every effort to insure accuracy in transmis- sion. There is more concern over the task cf the individual newspapers af- ter they receive by wire the results of the drawing. In large communities the problem of printing the serial numbers with the names of the men they represent in each district attach- ed is one of staggering propertions. All States except three, New York, Pennsylvania and Michigan, had re- ported their local lists numbered for the drawing when the provost mar- shal general’s office closed to-night. Officials said they had reports to indi- cate that the States would report themselves ready to-morrow so the drawing could be held on Friday. Governor Approves Bills of Interest to Centre Countians. Harrisburg, July 17.—The township code prepared by the State Legisla- tive Reference Bureau and presented in the House of Representatives by Mr. Siggins, of Warren, was approved by Governor Brumbaugh to-day. The bill codifies all laws relative to town- ship government and is similar in gen- eral plan to the borough code of 1915. The Governor also approved the Siggins House bill establishing a Bu- reau of Township Highways in the State Highway Department which changes the existing laws to comply with the provisions of the code. The Rich House bill, requiring pool- rooms, billiard rooms ard bowling and tenpin alleys to be closed between 1 and 6 a. m. was approved. No per- son under eighteen years of age may be admitted to these places at any time. The act takes effect at once. The anti-free lunch bill, which pro- hibits the furnishing of “anything of value as a premium or present to in- duce the purchase of liquors or for any other purpose whatsoever in con- nection with the sale of liquers,” was signed by the Governor. It also for- bids the offering of any premiums for returns of caps, stoppers, corks, stamps or labels frem anything con- taining liquor. The act is effective at once. The Baldwin bill providing that prisoners in county jails may be em- ployed on county or almshouse farms was approved. The measure was drawn up by the State Board of Public Charities and the prisoners are to be amenable to the same discipline when working on farms as when they are in the prisons. Two amendments to the school code were among the nine bills approved by Governor Brumbaugh. One pro- vides that school districts may provide for the care of defective eyes and teeth of all their pupils and the other for taking a census of a district when added to another district and there is uncertainty about the school popula- tion. The court is to name the enum- erator. AARONSBURG. William Eisenhauer, of Sunbury, spent Saturday with Mrs. J. G. Eisen- hauer and family.

The cause for the merger was the ne- cessity of enforcing retrenchments and conserving one good daily paper for that town. Millais’ “Trust Me.” A lady and gentleman were standing before a picture by Millais called “Trust Me,” in which an elderly squire confronts his daughter, who holds a letter behind her back. The picture admits of more explana- | tions than one, for Mr. Millais had that rare faculty of putting blended expressions into his faces which puz- zle us, faces do. But the one this gentleman was over- heard giving his companion is as new, we are bound to say, to the painter as to our readers. “You see,” he said, “she has got a letter in her hand which she is keeping b¥k from the man in the red coat. Well, he is the postman and has just given her the letter. 1 suppose it’s from abroad. She hasn’t the money to pay the post- age, so she says, ‘Trust me.” ” The explanation was given with per- fect gravity and in apparent good faith.—London Mail Grand Opera In 1680. The following excerpt from Burney’s “History of Music,” published in 1776, describing the first performance of the opera “Bernice” in 1680, indicates that “there is nothing new under the sun,” even in sumptuous staging of music dramas. ‘““There were choruses of 100 virgins, 100 soldiers, 100 horsemen in iron ar- mor, forty cornets on horses, six trum- peters on horseback, six drummers, six ensigns, six great flutes, six minstrels playing on Turkish flutes and six oth- ers on octave flutes, six pages, three sergeants, six cimbalists, twelve hunts- men, twelve grooms, six coachmen for trumpeters, six others for the proces- sion, two lions led by two Turks, two elephants led by two others, Bernice’s triumphal car drawn by four horses, six other cars, with prisoners and spoils drawn by twelve horses, and six coaches for the procession. Advice In Securing Riches. Frederick Weyerhaeuser, America’s one time lumber king, who died a mul timillionaire, once gave the following rules on how to get rich: “Make up your mind to work at something real- ly worthy of work and work hard. The surest way to make money is to save money and to use what you have. Don’t be afraid of long hours or con- stant attention to your work. Work can be made a joy, an economy, a pleasure, if you combine an object worth while with the determined am- bition to win. Any young man can get rich, can succeed, if he saves, if he has a definite and honest purpose and is so filled with the purpose that work ceases to be a hardship and becomes a privilege.” Philadelphia's Big Clock.

To in- sure that the big toe is not push- ed out against the other toes the inner side of the boot where it lies is kept straight. The soles should be a sixth to a fourth of an inch thick and the heel broad, an inch or less in height. If the degree of flat foot be anything more than the merest trace me- chanical means are utilized to throw the weight of the body, distributed down the leg, slightly outside the center of the ankle joint. To effect this the sole and heel of each boot must be thickened along its inner side by a quarter, one-third or half an inch, the amount depending upon the severity of the case. The worse the case the greater the thickening.” oo of obs oie ode ole obs ole ofr odo ope ole of fo ole of ole oh Fo ob obo fo oho of obo fe ole obo of oo of ode oe oR Sebo ddddddpdddohdddbddedddd fo ce of ole ole ole ojo oe oe of sferle of ole ole fe ole ole ——Boring holes into the stumps of hard wood trees and filling these holes with equal parts of nitric and sulphur- ic acid will so soften the wood that it can be removed by ordinary picks.
