Will Wagner and family came down from Altoona bright and early Sun- day morning to spend the day among friends in the valley. We are having real spring weather now and everybody is anxiously awaiting February 2nd, to see what the woodchuck will do. The ban has been lifted from the churches and schools in this vicinity, which means that the flu epidemic has run its course for the present. Miss Mary Watt, a stenographer in the Union depot, Pittsburgh, spent the Sabbath with her parents here, re- turning to the Smoky city on Monday. Ferguson township is off the map so far as February court is concerned, having no representation on the jury list. Wonder if our taxes will be ex- onerated. Miss Clara McCracken is Jaxing a prolonged visit with her sister, Mrs. Annie Campbell, and with her broth- er, Rev. J. 0. C. McCracken, in east- ern Ohio. Ed. W. Mayes, who has a lucrative position at Huntingdon, is here ar- ranging for his public sale in March, after which he will move his family to Huntingdon.

Kimport made a flying trip to Elmira, N. Y.,, last week on a business and sight-see- ing trip, but both aver that they have no intention of moving there. G. W. Rossman last week sold his farm on Tadpole to E. T. Parsons for $10,000. Mr. Rossman will retire from the farm and it is rumored that he has purchased the Jay Schruder lace at Baileyville, where he lived fore he engaged in farming. E. C. Ross, the hustling grain and coal dealer at Lemont, had the mis- fortune to have two of his fingers on his left hand crushed on Friday. He was holding two boxes on top of a load of coal when a hard jolt of the wagon threw the boxes together, crushing his fingers. ORVISTON, Dorothy and Helen, baby daughters of Hensyl Young, are both quite ill. LeRoy, a little son of Mrs. Hugh Engel, is seriously ill with pleuro- pneumonia. Five children of Mrs. Hugh Engel are quite ill, baby Theo being more serious than the others.

Mrs. George Croll was called to the Lock Haven hospital Wednesday to see her daughter, Mrs. Harry Est- right, who is seriously ill. Mrs. Est- right had undergone an operation and for a time was very low. Billy, a little son of Ola Cyphert, is recovering slowly from an a of flu. The little lad was quite serious for a time. Flu seems to have hit the little ones rather heavily; they do not seem to get over the effects of the dread disease. There is a great revival at the Or- viston church. It is being conducted by the pastor, Rev. Walter Merrick, with the assistance of an occasional visiting clergyman. On Friday, 24th inst., Rev. Browell and wife, of Mill Hall, and Rev. Hughes, a former classmate of Mr. Merrick, assisted. Mrs. Browell sang two beautiful se- lections. Up to the present many new converts have come forward and many others have renewed their vows. Or- viston is certainly willing to try and be good. It is a very clean little town in morals, if not under foot. JACKSONVILLE. Mr. Earl Yearick and family were uests at the George Ertly home on B oiay. Most all the sick hereabouts are now recovering nicely and the com- munity will soon be able to resume its normal functions and activities. Many of our people attended the conundrum supper which the Howard High school held on Saturday even- ing, coming back and attending the chicken and waffle supper in this place. A number of women and girls of this vicinity are haunting the creek almost daily in search of watercress, which they aver they want for their chickens, but the general impression is it don’t all go to the hencoop. ———Subseribe for the “Watchman.” AARONSBURG.

His neighbors wish him a speedy recovery. Mrs. H. E. Crouse has been housed up for the past week, we regret to say. Mrs. Crouse, in some way, con- contracted influenza; however, she is able to be around and is gradually im- proving. There are no new cases in the town, known to the writer. The Lutheran congregation in this lace held their regular Communion unday, the 26th. : munion was much delayed owing to the churches of the town being clos- ed during the epidemic of influenza in the fall, and again a flare-up sev- eral weeks ago. Saturday evening, the 25th, the United Evangelical congregation cel- ebrated the Lord’s Supper. Presiding elder, Rev. Sones, delivered a power- ful and impressive sermon. This was Rev. Sones’ last sermon on this ap- pointment (as elder) as he will be stationed elsewhere at the coming con- ference, in March. It is with regret we see him leave; he has served faith- fully and well and his sermons and Ls were appreciated, not only by his own church, but by many from other churches. May success attend his efforts wherever he may be sent. ae RUNVILLE. home of his sister, Mrs. G. W. Heaton, at Altoona. Franklin M. Lucas departed for Altoona on Tuesday. Rev.

St. Louis.—David F. Houston, Sec- retary of Agriculture, in explaining why the government is not urging farmers to plant larger crops of wheat next spring, despite representation of the urgent need abroad, pointed out that crops planted in the spring will not be available for the market next fall, when food conditions will be changed. “The farmers planted last fall 7,- 000,000 more acres of wheat than they did at any previous time, and the in- dications are that the spring crop will be on a very large scale,” he said. “The question is can the crop de dis- osed of at the guaranteed price of 8096 a bushel on No. 1 winter wheat? “The prospects are that the yield will be at least 1,000,000,000 bushels of which amount about 650,000,000 will be used at home. Will Europe take the surplus after a season of produc- ing on her own account, and with Aus- tralia and Argentina in the market? Australia has been guaranteed $1.18 for its output, and, of course, the European nations will seek their sup- ply where they can get it at the low- est price. “The United States government has made the guarantee and will make it good. It will pay the farmer the dif- ference between $2.26 and the figure at which he has to sell his surplus.” The Overestimated Hun. © German efficiency has been over- estimated. Germany has invented al- most nothing. She has imitated or stolen from other nations, especially from America. America is five times as efficient as Germany. One Ameri- can soldier, properly equipped, is equal to five German soldiers. See what we have invented for peace: Steamboat, telegraph, cotton gin, sewing machine, airbrake, typewriter, phonograph, modern printing press, telephone, electric light, trolley car, railroad train, sleeping car, reaper, binder, thresher, high speed elevator, skyscraper, tractor, cash register, turret lathe, cheap automobile, Har- veyized steel, gas engne, dictaphone, elevator, storage battery, shoe ma- chinery, reinforced concrete, suspen- sion and cantilever bridges and hun- dreds of other things. See what we have invented for war: Monitor, Mer- rimac, and out of them the modern turreted ironclad; torpedoes, wireless torpedo, submarime, repeating rifle, machine gun, revolver, airplane, high explosive, and many others. What will we not invent and do, to save our lives and liberty.—Leslie’s Weekly. New Face for Boy. Winnipeg. — Winnipeg hospital physicians are making a new face for nine-year-old Edgar Forbes, of Rath- Well Man. The boy’s face was re- duced to pulp when he was run over by a sleigh. Every bone was broken. The experiment will be a success, according to the physicians. The bones were reset and will mould, they say. Four dentists, after days of experi- menting in the hospital laboratory, completed an artificial plate for his mouth. When the boy was brought to the hospital his face was unrecognizable. Every bone was sunk in. Both eyes were sunken. The bridge bones of his nose were smashed in many pieces, and after an X-ray examination were found lodged in his throat. The boy will be able to see again, although at present he is blind in one eye and scarcely able to distinguish objects with the other. TPs eyeballs were not injured. An Eye On the Future. Maggie had a new baby brother, which everybody agreed was such a baby as had never been seen before. One day the baby was being weighed, and Maggie asked what that was for. “Oh,” said the father, “Uncle George has taken a great fancy to ba- by, and he’s offered to buy him for a shilling an ounce.” Maggie looked startled. “You're 3% going to sell him, are you, dad- “Of course not, precious,” answered daddy, proud to see his little girl loved her brother so. “No. Keep him till he gets a bit bigger,” the child went on; “he’ll fetch more money then.”—Tit-Bits.

To Keep Your Shoes Dry. By standing just outside your door in a dry place for a moment before wading out in the snow in severe weather you will find that the snow does not cling to the shoes and they will remain perfectly dry. The rea- son for this is that the soles of your shoes are cooled so that they do not melt the snow through which you walk. If you rush out of a warm house in warm shoes they melt the snow which sticks to them and the water soon soaks through to the feet. Tree That Produces Butter. A wonderful tree known as the shea, is beginning to attract commer- cial attention in Western Africa. It supplies the natives not only with nuts, which they highly prize, but with a butter that may become an ar- ticle of commercial importance.
