The first bear story of the season
is now going the rounds in this sec-
tion. It concerns a well known Spruce
Creek valley farmer who went out to
his woodlot on Tuesday and was just
casually looking around when he sud-
denly espied the glittering eyes of a
big bear watching him from a clump
of underbrush. The farmer stood
not upon ceremony but shinneyed up
the nearest tree. About the time he
reached his vantage point his dog
came along, on his trail, and the bear,
to get away from the dog, scrambled
up another tree in close proximity to
the farmer. When this happened it
is hard to tell which one was frighten-
ed the most. The dog took up a posi-
tion under the tree the bear was on
and yelped for all he was worth and
the farmer used his lungs to such good
advantage that he soon attracted
help. But approaching men was too
much for the bear and notwithstand-
ing the dog, he crawled from the tree
and beat a hasty retreat to the fast-
nesses of the Tussey mountains.

United States is 340,917, according to
a tabulation completed by the Depart-

scattered among 871 tribes, or rem-

Indians are attending schools, being
educated by the government. Of this
number 19,000 Indian children go to
boarding schools, 5,500 to day schools
and 35,000 to public schools. In ad-
dition, 6420 Indian children are en-
rolled in mission schools at the var-
lous reservations. There are seventy-
eight hospitals and sanitariums main-
tained by the Department of the In-
terior for Indians.

Indians are engaged in farming and
in raising crops for their own sup-
port, while 50,000 Indian families
have abandoned their tepees and live
in houses.
300,000 ACRES IDLE
IN PENNSYLVANIA.
More than 300,000 acres of farm
land remain idle in Pennsylyvania this
summer largely as a result of the
shortage of farm hands, a report of
the Bureau of Employment to Com-
missioner Royal Meeker of the State
Department of Labor and Industry,
showed recently. The report covered
only fifty-five of the sixty-seven coun-
ties in the State and in these counties
there are more than 9000 vacant
farms and 301,200 acres idle.
The report was based on a survey
of the entire State, completed June 1
by State employment agents with the
assistance of county farm agents. The
total acreage lying idle is estimated
at close to 10 per cent. of the total ag-
ricultural acreage of Pennsylvania.
Shortages of labor in other lines
continue. The common labor shortage
is general, while various industries are
affected. Shortages of domestics ex-
ist in most of the districts. Every
district, however, notes the shortage
of farm hands and points to the ser-
ious condition resulting from the ina-
bility of farmers to get help. The
Scranton district reported the largest
number of idle farms, 2280. The
acreage of those farms is placed at
50,000.
Erie district reported 1200 idle
farms with a total of 60,000 acres.
Johnstown district had 1548 idle farms
with 35,800 acres. McKeesport dis-
trict reportd 1700 idle farms with 20,-
000 acres. New Kensington district
reported 1300 idle farms and a total
of 38,000 acres.
Philadelphia district, including
Bucks, Chester, Delaware and Mont-
gomery counties, report 314 idle
farms, totaling 60,000 acres. Reading
district reported 325 idle farms with
a total of 12,000 acres.
Harrisburg district had 353 idle
farms with a total of 25,400 acres.

H. C. Young, S. Water St., Belle-
fonte, says: “Some time ago I was
in a bad condition with kidney trouble.
My back ached and gave out so I
couldn’t do a day’s work. I was a con-
stant sufferer. When I stooped I had
dizzy spells and a swimming sensa-
tion in my head. My kidneys acted
irregularly. I read of Doan’s Kidney
Pills and used them, getting my sup-
ply at the Parrish Pharmacy. They
soon fixed me up in good shape. The
aches and pains left. The dizziness
didn’t trouble me and my kidneys
were regulated.” :
