It Must Be Replaced Sometime. There's a eertain amount of fertili- in your soil. If you take some out, u should replace it, just as you you don’t pay back what you borrow, you are practically stealing. If you don’t repay your friend after the first time you borrow, you are not likely to get much of a loan the second time, and when it comes to a bank, if you don’t pay your obligations there— well, you will have to some way. In the matter of fertility, the trouble is that our soil is too good a friend. We can borrow, borrow, borrow—not get- ting so much each time, of course— until we finally conclude there is not much more to get from our friend and we are at liberty to move away, if we want, and cultivate another friendship. This, at least, used to be the case, but there is practically no more vir- gin land and what we have will have to be taken care of. ADVANTAGES OF WIDE SPREADERS. In buying a spreader at the present time the farmer should see that he selects one with a wide spread attach- ment. With such an atachment a strip 8 feet wide or better can be cov- ered, extending well outside the wheels on both sides. This has posi- tive advantages over the narrow spread spreader of years ago. In the first place, the load is thrown oft twice as fast and the same amount of round is covered with just half the ar distance, and on the return it is not necessary to drive so that the wheel tracks lap in order that all ground may receive an even spread. For practically the same price today a wide spread spreader can be bought that will deliver more in service .and includes more in quality of construc- tion than an old type machine that only spreads the width of the beater. For these reasons the wide spread ma- chine should be thoroughly investigat- ed before a farmer invests his money in a spreader. A spreader is the most necessary implement on the farm today. It isa crop producer, whereas most other machines are only crop handlers. It encourages the saving of manure and thereby makes the farmer honest with his soil. He borrows his fertili- ty and doesn’t steal it. SPRING MILLS. John H. Rishel autoed to Lewis- SPREAD - town Monday morning on business. y W. E. Boob lost a valuable colt last week. The cause of its death is un- known. . The sudden death of Mrs. Henry Mark, of Penn Hall, came as a shock to her many friends. Dean S. Braucht spent the week- end with Walter S.

Charles and William Alli- son, of Toronto, Canada, and New York city respectively, spent the week-end with their father, Hon. Wil- liam M. Allison. The following Children’s day serv- ices will’be rendered in Spring Mills: Evangelical, evening of June 16th; Reformed, evening of June 23rd, and Lutheran, evening of June 20th. George Weaver, who underwent an operation at the Bellefonte hospital a short time ago, was brought to his home last Thursday. Mr. Weaver is improving slowly at this writing. John Smith and family visited Prof. U. A. Moyer and family at Huntingdon, last Sunday. Professor Moyer, formerly principal of the Spring Mills High school, is now an instructor .in the reformatory at Huntingdon. May and June rains intermingled with the ever welcome sunshine have put a hue on the crops of the fields that is enviable to the painter’s brush. All the crops are, perhaps, the best and largest for several years. The wheat crop, which was thought would be about a one-third yield, is at the present time very promising. War- time conditions produce war-time crops, now the problem is the labor for harvest-time. \ Parted Company. “Yes,” said the stout man, “I went into that deal with $10,000.” “How did you come out?” “Alone.” : The Ashpile Does.

Get rid of that pain and lameness! Use Doan’s Kidney Pills. Many Bellefonte people have used them and know how effective they are. Here’s a Bellefonte case. Mrs. Katie Capani, 224 S. Alleghe- ny St., says: “For about a year I suffered almost constantly from pain in my back. I had soreness across my loins and my kidneys were not acting properly. The trouble affect- ed m LL and I could hardly read. Doan’s Kidney Pills were brought to my attention and as I had heard that they had done a lot of good for oth- ers I got a box. The first few doses relieved me of the awful pain in my back and I continued until I was en- tirely relieved. I have taken several boxes of Doan’s since and they have apt my kidneys in good working or- er.” Price 60c, at all dealers. Don't simply ask for a kidney remedy—get Doan’s Kidney Pills—the same that Mrs. Capani had. Foster-Milburn Co., Mfrs., Buffalo, N. Y. 63-24 Metals That Are Supposed to Accumu- late in Great Quantities Being Sal- vaged and Used Again. Considerable speculation has been going the rounds as to the amount of scrap iron and steel that is accumu- lating on the battlefields of Europe, and how it is to be disposed of. ‘American companies which regularly deal in such old material have for some time been looking forward to the' harvest to be reaped from these bat- tlefields after the war, says London Tit-Bits. These hopes have now been re. “her rudely shocked by observers re- cently returned from the front, who state that this matter is now being handled by the respective govern- ments, According to the systems now estab- lished in modern warfare, it is stated, a salvage corps is daily going over all the ground near the battle front ex- posed to fire, and is gathering all the debris discarded by the contending armies. None of the scrap is neglect- ed, with steel worth 1 pence to 1% pence per pound, and copper and other metals in proportion. All the metals are taken to shops in the rear, and there worked into the various muni- tions that a modern army uses. All the lead that is fired is practical- ly lost, as a bullet traveling at a ve- locity of 2,000 feet or more per sec- ond hurles itself so deep into any ob- ject it hits as to be lost entirely. Oth- er metals, however, such as tangled steel from wrecked motor cars, large pieces of shells, bits of copper, pieces of aluminum, etc., are carefully col- lected and later turned into usable condition. ONE MUTE STORY OF THE WAR Sunny Nieuport on the Yser, a Little City of 4,000, Among Others Wiped Out of Existence. Nieuport lies upon the Yser, the tidal for Calais, writes Willlam Townsend Porter in the Atlantic Monthly. That June before the world went mad, the peaceful town drowsed in the sun—the pearly Belgian sun that painters love. The men went down to the sea in their fishing boats, or worked their fields; old women, their lace upon their knees, sat in a patch of shade before the door and plied their bobbins; children, with shrill sweet voices, darted about like birds; the creaking wain went to and fro piled high with the harvest. Four thousand simple folk! Not one remains. Their houses, too, are gone. Their ancient church, their historic tower, are mounds of ruin. And still the hissing shells, hour by hour, day by day, tear down the crumbling walls, Mime fresh ruin to a scene most deso- ate. The people of the sun are gone. An- other race inhabits there.. They live in holes beneath the ground. They come not forth except to kill. The Toll France Has Paid. Four-fifths of the women in France wear mourning, say the correspond- ents, and we believe them, but we are not among those who credit reports of a France “exhausted” and “bled white,” observes a war writer. French women go into mourning on the small- est provocation. Rye shops abound. Every little way is a French city one encounters the sign, “Mourning in 24 hours.” When madame puts on black, no one straightway infers the demise of monsieur. Much more likely an uncle by marriage had dropped off, or perhaps some eighth cousin thrice removed. It is always possible that, for one wooden cross on a battlefield, there will be six dozen gowns at the dye shop. No one denies that the French army has suffered terrible casualties. No one feels inclined to understate them, the French least of Auman CASTORIA Bears the signature of Chas. H. Fletcher. In use for over thirty years, and The Kind You Have Always Bought.

But only Americans who have never lived in France will imagine that the swarms of black-clad women indi- cate a proportionate number of dead Poilus. The truth is, Poilus were never so plucky as today, never SO efficient, and, despite heartbreaking losses, never So numerous. Some inducement. Christopher Brown walked into the local recruiting station of the United States marine corps at Philadelphia, says the Troy Times, and after an- nouncing that he was from Braintree, said he wanted to enlist. “The idea of enlisting is a good one,” said the re- cruiting sergeant, “but what is Braln- tree—a breakfast food or an educa- tional institution?” “It is a town in Massachusetts—the only town in the, United States that ever produced two presidents,” proudly replied Brown. “John Adams was born there, and so was John Quincy Adams. John Han- cock was born there, too, as was Col. Charles G. Long, chief of staff of the marine corps. If you take me into the marine corps I may be running the thing in a year or two.” Camera Marks Airplane Hits. The great aviation school at Toronto: has devised a most ingenious scheme. for trainicg aviators in the use of the. machine gun. Two apprentice flyers’ are sent up to fight under all the con- ditions of actual warfare. They make every effort to alm and fire their ma-, chine guns at each other, only in place! of bullets the gun is fitted with camera; lens and film. Every pull of the trig. ger snaps a picture. If the shot is a! “hit” a picture of the “enemy” air piane appears on the film; if a miss,’ the film is blank. By examining the strip of film afterward it is possible to tell exactly how many hits each man made and how accurately he is “shooting.” Why Separate? The liars must go.—Troy Times.
