They were employed in four big potato-re- ducing plants, all of them now closed. Two of these are in the Bankruptcy court. Many employees of these two com- panies had not been paid off when the crash came. They had to leave their families behind when they trekked elsewhere for a job. Some of them were so short of money that they walked many miles to nearby cities of any size.

It is three pages quarto, is dated “Mount Vernon, Feb. 5, 1789,” and is address- ed to Samuel Powell. In it Washing- ton refers to George III's first attack of madness, saying: “Be the cause of the British king’s insanity what it may, his situation (if alive) merits commiseration. Better, perhaps, would it have been for his nation, though not for ours (under present prospect) if the event had happened at the time.” The letter was written the day after Washington was elect- ed the first President of the United States. eee flere \ CASTORIA Bears the signature of Chas.

In 1901 Representative Cannon was living at the Cochran hotel, and the evening before the inauguration, L. White Busbey, now his private secre- tary, but at that time correspondent of the Chicago Inter Ocean, entered Mr. Cannon’s room at the hotel and found the venerable legislator standing before a mirror and swearing over a - plug hat with which he was practic- ing. “I tell you I won't wear the d—n thing,” ejaculated Uncle Joe explosive- 1y. I won’t begin now.” “But, Mr. Cannon,” suggested Bus- bey amiably, “if you don’t wear it you will attract more attention in the parade than the president, and you don’t want to do that.” “How’s that?” snapped Uncle Joe. “I never wore one in my life and the interest of the Christian Endeav- or work in the county. Plans for holding a county convention some time during the summer were outlined. In the absence of Rev. W. J. Shultz on Sunday last the pulpits on the Zi- on charge were filled by Prof. James R. Hughes, of the Bellefonte Acade- my. A large audience was present at Snydertown in the evening and all en- joyed the sermon. Rev. Shultz was absent as supply at the Jersey Shore Lutheran church, which is vacant at present. On Thursday of last week Mr. A. B. Beck took the train for J ackson- ville, Florida, to visit his son, John D. Beck, who is in charge of a large stock farm near that place. The farm 1s owned by a Mr. Logan and is stocked with several hundred head of Aber- deen Angus cattle, all full blooded. The herd drew a number of prizes at the recent Florida state fair. Mr. Beck expects to spend some time in that State. The farmers’ institute at Hublers- burg last Friday is said to have been quite a success. Those who were present’ enjoyed the sessions Very much. The trouble with most farm- ers today is they know more ‘than con- ditions enable them to put into prac- tice, and the more vital point of get- ting their share of the dollars for what they now raise. There are too many leaks between the producer and the consumer. * Mr. C. F. Romick, of Snydertown, received a message from Niles, Ohio, last Saturday, stating that his broth- - F.

Mr. : spent his boyhood days and youth in Nittany valley but many years ago : journeyed to Ohio and located at Niles. He was engaged in selling and installing milling machinery for many years and was well known over a large territory. Burial was made at Niles on Tuesday of this week. ] Public sales will soon begin and then will come the annual spring flit- tings. Almost one-half the farms be- tween Huston and Hublersburg will change occupants this spring. In fact there will be more changes in the low- | er end of Walker township than have occurred in many years, but only one change in ownership is involved.

He refused ‘to sell his cotton at the prevailing price. Having insufficient funds to pay the country merchant, the latter could not pay his account with the fertilizer makers, who dispose of their product through him. Then the fer- tilizer companies cancelled their con- tracts with the potash makers, leaving two of these so far out on a financial limb that in order to hold their prop- erties together they had to go into bankruptcy. They hope to reopen when the financial situation enables the fertilizer companies to resume buying. The Nebraska potash lakes, during the period of the war, yielded richer dividends than most gold mines. Ger- many, the sole source of supply, be- ing cut off, the fertilizer makers bid against each other and ran the price up to where 50 per cent. a month was earned by the first company. One ranchman, who made a favorable con- tract with the second company in the field, enjoyed a royalty of $1000 a day for nearly two years. The richest find was in a lake on a ranch that the homesteader, a rancher, refused to prove his own because the lake was brackish and his cattle wouldn’t drink it. It was the potash that made the water undrinkable. The companies now in trouble got going just when the war ended. Washington’s Flag. A valuable and interesting relic of George Washington now on exhibition at the Valley Forge Museum of Amer- ican History is Washington’s head- | quarter’s flag. His marquee was pur- chased by the museum after having been exhibited for years in the Na- | tional museum at Washington. It was ‘his first headquarters flag and was used by him throughout the war of ! the Revolution. | Now through the courtesy of Miss | Frances B. Lovell, a descendant of | ' Betty Lewis, the sister of Washing- | ton, the flag of the commander in chief | of the armies of the patriots is exhib- | ited with the famous war tent. Eo For years the flag was a treasured:| heirloom in Miss Lovell’s family, and | few knew of its existence. Upon her father’s death she became its owner. ' It was known to the family as “Wash- ington’s headquarters flag.” | “That it is the unidentified flag of Peale’s portraits there can be no doubt,” said the Rev. W. Herbert | Burk, founder of the Valley Forge mu- seum, who obtained the treasured rel- ic. “The flag of one picture,” says the Rev. Mr. Burk, “it a blue jack with * thirteen stars. The flag now in the " museum is a light blue silk jack with thirteen stars, the blue faded and the stars yellow. with age.” | The flag is thirty-six inches: long and twenty-eight inches wide. The | heading is of homespun linen, with three eylets worked with thread. The ‘stars are six pointed, double stitched, The stars are not arranged in but in lines following the. "crosses of the British flag, which the Rev. Mr. Burk said, seems to have { been the earlier arrangement. KENTUCKY BEAUTIES.

A BEAUTIFUL COMPLEXION, Keeping the system in perfect shape is the real secret of a beautiful complexion. Blood that is rich and pure is bound to show in the color of the skin. Bulgarian style blood tea was intro- duced in this country many years ago by H. H. Von Schlick, of Pittsburgh, Pa., and today is used by millions of happy people who realize its wonder- ful power as a health regulator. Bulgarian Blood Tea is mildly laxa- tive and assists nature to remove the poisons that pollute the blood. For constipation, biliousness, headaches, torpid liver and weak kidneys it is one of the best home remedies known to the world today. Every member of the family should use Bulgarian Blood Tea to break up a bad cold and guard against influen- za, grippe or pneumonia; just take it steaming hot at “edtime.

Burning Coal Dust. The enterprises of one motorcar manufacturer extend even to the own- ership of mines in West Virginia, from which he digs coal for his motor- car factory. In the plant at River Rouge, Mich., eight enormous boilers are being in- stalled for furnaces which will burn pulverized coal and gas simultaneous- ly. This will be accomplished by fir- ing the coal vertically from the top and injecting the gas horizontally through the side of the furnace, the coal flame and gas flame uniting at the proper point for greatest efficiency. These furnaces will burn 1,000 tons of coal per day, and. from the time the coal leaves the mines in West Vir- ginia until its residue is carried away as ashes, it will not be touched by hu- man hands.

A Safe Test For those who are in need of a rem- edy for kidney troubles and backache, it is a good plan te try Doan’s Kid- ney Pills. They are strongly recom- mended by Bellefonte people. Mrs. J. F. Thal, 23 N. Thomas St., Bellefonte, says: “I suffered with back ache and severe pains through my kidneys. I had headaches and dizzy spells, when I first got up in the morning and my kidneys acted irreg- ularly. My attention was called to Doan’s Kidney Pills and I heard of so many being benefitted by their use | that I procured a box at the Green { Pharmacy Co. That one box removed the backache. The headaches and diz- zy spells left and my kidneys became regular and I felt better in every way. I cheerfully recommend Doan’s to | anyone who suffers as I did.” (State- ment given October 19, 1918). On October 18, 1919, Mrs. Thal said: “I am very glad to confirm my former endorsement of Doan’s Kidney Pills.
