Justice for the Horse.
Atlantic City, July 20.—A nation-
wide publicity campaign for justice
for the horse, threatened with extinc-
tion as an economic factor through
the aggressive propaganda of truck
and tractor makers, was voted by the
convention of the Wholesale Saddlery
Association here today. It is to be
waged through the agencies of the
Horse Association of America, and
the campaign fund will be obtained
through voluntary subscriptions
from the harnessmakers.

The population of Pleasant Gap has
increased 128 since the last census,

mitted, is a superlatively productive

turn to work.
Notwithstanding the high cost of
paints and olis Dal Smeltzer, Andy
Jodon, Harvey Markley and H. E
Ishler, all well-to-do farmers, have
had their homes painted within the

ful what an application of paint will
do in the appearance of a building.

pushers at the Whiterock lime quar-
ries, accompanied by his wife and

each way in twenty days in their Ford
but their friends figure it will be
twenty and then some.
Contractor Elwood Brooks this
week hauled the last load of the 25,
000 mine props to the Pleasant Gap
station for shipment. The cutting
was done along Nittany mountain
between Pleasant Gap and Zion by
Huyett & McNitt, and McMullen. The
demand for props is excellent now and
the prices remunerative to the cutters
as well as satisfactory to the custom-
ers.
Beatty Tate says to be strictly hon-
est in all our dealings; benevolent in
all our intentions; to live between the
extremes of labor and repose, and
partake but moderately of the inno-
cent pleasures within our reach; to
love and practice truth and honor; to
cherish kindness and affection for all
of our fellow-creatures, and to love
God with all our hearts, are plain
precepts of reason, simple to compre-
hend and easy to adopt. But above
all, he says, don’t drink any of the
vile stuff that now retails at 50 cents
an ounce and a half.

The greatest skeptic can hardly fail
tc be convinced by evidence like this.
It is impossible to produce better
proof of merit than the testimony of

can be seen at any time. Read the
following case of it:
