Hunter, director of motor vehicles of Centre county, has hand- ed to the “Watchmar” {cr publication the following statement of Mr. Van H. Manning, director of the bureau of mines of the Department of the Inter- ior relative to the conservation of ihe gasoline supply, and the same is ree- ommended to the careful considera- tion of all owners of automobiles nd motor propelled vehiclzs. Mr. Man- ning says: One-half of the gasoline used in the United States (one billion two hun- dred and fifty million gallons) is used in pleasure riding. > It is estimated that the United States army will need three hundred and fifty million gallons for aero- planes, trucks, automobile tractors and other machines. There is no way of obtaining this in this country ex- cept by saving from the existing sup- ply, and this economy may be effected by voluntary cutting down of pleas- ure riding (for instance, the man wno takes his family out on Sunday for a fifty mile ride can cut this in half.) It has been estimated that by eco- nomical use enough gasoline can be saved to suoply not only the United States, but also its allies for war pur- poses. The following suggestions should be observed by automobile owners: Do not allow your gasoline engine to run idle. Use kerosene, not gesoline, cleaning purposes in the garage. See to it that the carburetor does not leak. Form the habit of shutting off the gasoline at the tank. . By judicious regulation of the mix- ture of gasoline and air in the motor, both greater power and economy of fuel may be obtained. Automobile owners need not lay up cars, but should use them either for trade or pleasure purposes thought- fully and judiciously. IF this advice is followed there will be no undue scarcity, for the United States pos- sesses an abundant supply for ordina- Ty purposes. for Why It is the Kaiser. One of the Tyrone readers of the “Watchman” sends the following and requests its publication in this paper, though it was originally published in a Philadelphia paper: Those who accept literally what is written in Revelation, read there cer- tain doom for the Kaiser. In verse 4, chapter 13, it is written: “Who is like unto the beast? is able to make war with him?” In the following verse appears the length of time the fight may go on: “And power was given unto him to continue forty and two months;” then in the last verse of the chapter you will discover who it is. “Let him that hath understanding count the number of the beast, for it is the number of a man. And his number is six hundred three score and six, which is 666.” And here is how the Kaiser comes in. The alphabet numbers of the letters in that name are, eleven, one, nine, nineteen, five and eighteen, which if six be added after each will total 666. ——The annual Labor day outing of “The Snow Shoe Bunch” will be held at the Pine Run hunting lodge September 1st to 3rd, inclusive. Who Transportation for Old Soldiers. The last Legislature passed an Act providing for the payment of the transportation of all Pennsylva- nia soldiers who participated in the siege of Vicksburg during the Civil war to the national memorial re- union and peace jubilee to be held at Vicksburg October 16th to 19th inclu- sive. The Pennsylvania units that participated in that siege were the 45th, 50th, 51st and 100dth regiments, Penna Vols.,, and Dureil’s battery. The provision of the Ac: of the Legis- lature covers the transportation only, all other expenses to be borne by the individuals. In order that proper ar- rangements can be made for the nec- essary transportation application for same should be made to Adjt. Gen. Thomas J. Stewart, Harrisburg, Pa. The 45th regiment was recruited part- ly in Centre county and there are a number of men living who were at the siege of Vicksburg. So that any of them who desire to atterd the above celebration should put in their appli- cation on or before October 1st. Clinton County P. O. S. of A. at Hec- la Park. The P. O.

O. S. of A. picnic anl reunion at Grange park, Centre Hall, on Monday (Labor day.) Coal Operators Fail to Agree to Ac- cept Fuel Prices. Washington, D. C., Aug. 29.—Direc- tors of the National Coal association, meeting here to discuss government control of their industry, were unable to-day to agree as to whether they will accept without protest the scale of prices fixed for their product by President Wilson. Two distinct factions, it was learn- ed, have developed in the asociation— one willing to accept the situation and the other anxious to fight the govern- ment in the courts. The operators who are ready to sell at the prices named are among the larger producers and those who are showing apposition are representing largely owners of small mines, whose costs of production are high. The operators counselling accept- ance of the government-fixed prices argue that they are helpless because of the provision in the food control bill giving the President power to take over and operate the mines if producers fail to comply with the price regulations. The others, how- ever, point to the provision of the bill requiring the government to name just prices, and declare the scale fixed will drive many producers out of bus- iness. When the directors’ meeting ad- journed it was announced that the op- erators probably would have a definite announcement to make.some time to- morrow and that they would make their position clear. Those who be- lieve it unwise to test the law hoped to-night to bring the opposition around to their way of thinking. The possibility that the operators will suggest a change in the govern- ment’s program to provide for selling pools by districts was heard again to- day. Advocates of this arrangement declare it woul not raise to an appre- ciable degree the prices named by the President, but would assure every producer a fair and equitable margin of profit. Alabama bituminous operators sub- mitted to the federal trade commis- sion during the day cost production figures purporting to show that they will have to sell coal at a loss under the price scale just fixed. They asked for at least an increase of 50 cents per ton over the prices allowed pro- ducers in Alabama. — Sammies to Have Good Secretaries. Every Sammy in Franc: will have a secretary to write letters to his folks if he is too badly wounded or too busy swatting the boches to do it himself. Adjutant General MeCain has ar- ranged the same secretariat system for the first 687,000 draft San'mies in cantonment camps in this country this fall. And for the militiamer, like- wise. “Our plan to enable friends and rel- atives of American soldiers to get precmpt information as to their wel- fare,” said General McCain, “will re- quire for every million nen, abcut 1, 200 officers, enlisted men and filed clerks.” World headquarters for this organ- ization, which is already at work, will be in the State, War anl Navy build- ing in Washington. It is known offi- cially as “The Statistical Division.” In addition to writing letters and posteards, the duties of members of the division will include: Gathering information concerning individuals at general, divisicnal, reg- imentzl and company headquarters, field and base hospitals, ports of em- barkation and camps in this country hers troops are mobilized and train- ed. Handling inquivies concerning pris- oners of war; both German prisoners in America and American prisoners in Germany. A big training school for these Sammies’ secretaries has been estab- lished at the War Department and is in operation now. Officers of the di- vision are being selected from the offi- cers’ training camps and will be sent to France and to places in this coun- try as soon as trained. “Every company of American sol- diers everywhere,” said General Me- Cain, “will be accompanied by one or more of these men regularly stationed with it and part of whose job will be to know every man in the company. “This man will report to the regi- mental statistical division which will be specially charged with the prepa- ration and forwarding of casualty lists and data’ as to wounded and seri- ously ill. “Information will likewise be re- ported as to all civilians accredited with the army. “The organization will finally be completed by having a regimental sec- tion with each regiment. This will be in charge of the regular adjutant, as- sisted by the chaplain.” General McCain wishes all Sam- mies, their relatives and friends to make full use of this secretariat di- vision. Word can be gotten home, he feels, mere expeditiously by the Sam- my, through one of the division's postcards than by any other means except expensive cable. These postcards are official and do not have to be delayed for censoring. If unable to write himself, his statis- tical field secretary will gladly do it for the Sammy.—Ex. Indians and Medicine. The Indian, says Rev. J. Hines in his book, “The Red Indians of the Plains,” has the idea tha: any kind of medicine is equally good for all com- plaints. He believes in drastic meas- ures, and unless he feels the effect of the second dose of medicine, he loses faith in it and gives up taking it. He prefers purgatives and emetics, but even in them the Indian is wont to discriminate, and he thinks castor oil is especially “good medieine.” Very often mothers would send to the Mission for castor oil for their in- fants and then come the next day and complain that the medicine had not operated, and that the child had done nothing but cry ever since it took the medicine. Then my wife would pour out another teaspoonful and hand it to the mother and request her to ad- minister it in her presence. The child would object as all chiidren do, and that part of the oil that left the spoon would trickle down the cheek of the child. The mother, partly to remove the oil and partly to pacify the child, would give the child a kiss that cov- ered the whole of its chek, and in so doing would remove the cil with her lips and swallow it herself. Then she would lick the spoon clean, hand it back to my wife—and that is the way the Indian women give castor oil to their children. After witnessing this performance we had no difficulty in understanding why the child got no benefit from the previous dose— Youth’s Companion. How to Tell Rank of American Army Officer. You can tell the rank of an Ameri- can army officer by knowing that: A second lieutenant has an epau- lette with no bar. A first lieutenant has an epaulette with one white bar. A captain has an epaulette with two white bars. A major has an epaulette with a gold maple leaf thereon. A lieutenant colonel has an epan- lette with a silver maple leaf. A colonel has an epaulette with a silver spread eagle therecn. A brigadier general has lette with one silver star. A major general has an with two silver stars. A lieutenant general has lette with three silver stars. A general is excedingly rare. Thus far in our history there have been only two.

Such a law was en- acted by the Tenessee Legislature of 1915 and vetoed by the Governor. This veto was subsequently held woid, and the act is reproduced in the present bulletin. Tennessee is the sixth State to have a law of this kind. Plan Reconstruction Hospital.

Subject, Sep- tember 2nd, “Christ Jesus.” By an easy method of selection, the congregation of the Methodist Epis- copal church of Bellefonce has chosen the topics of their pastor’s Sunday evening services for th: next seven weeks. Taking the topics in reverse order, as to the number of votes pre- sented, they will be treated as follows: September 2nd—*‘“Patriotism.” September 9th—*“Self-Conttrol.” September 16th—“Faithfulness.” September 23rd—*“Loyzalty.” September 30th—‘“Purity.” Octcber 7th—“Courage.” October 14th—*“Honesty.” The congregation thinks these are among the cardinal virtues, and de- serve special consideration.

We aren’t used to doing the market- ing, so we get excited when we think somebody is trying to sting us. And it seems as if somebody were trying to sting us every minute, so the excite- ment is continuous. Saturday night we asked the price of cherries. The man told us. “But what right have you to charge such a price?” we demanded. “What makes ’em so high?” “Trey’re so scarce.” said the mer- chant, “Scarce?” ve repeated. “Why, the papers said yesterday that cherries were so abundant that they were rot- ting on the trees!” “That’s right” answered the man, calmaly. “That’s what makes ‘em so scarce.”—Cleveland Plain Dealer. Had to Obey Orders. An old colored uncle was found by the preacher prowling in his barnyard late one night. “Uncle Calhoun,” said the preacher, sternly, “it can’t be good for your rheumatism to be prowling ’round here in the rain and cold.” “Doctor’s orders, sah,” the old man answered. “Doctor’s orders?” said the preach- er. “Did he tell you to go prowling ’round all night?” “No, sah; not exactly, sah” said Un- cle Cal., “but. he done ordered me chicken broth.”—Minneapolis Tribune.
