under him but 3,600 men. In the
war of 181 a the regular army at its
highest numbered less than 12,000.
During the Mexican war the maxi
mum was 30,893, in 184S. In 1867
the regular army reached its highest
numbers, with 54,000 men. The
present foice is, in round numbers,
35,000.
Building and Loan Societies,
Attorney General McCormick'i Opinion Re
garding the Payment ol Fees by Them.
Attorney General McCormick on
Thursday October 17 replied to a
communication submitted by Com
missioner of Banking Gilkesonj in ref
erence to the payment of fees of build
ing and Joan associations under the
art creating the Banking Department.
The Attorney General advises Com
missioner Gilkeson that when building
associations make their investments
upon real estate in other States than
Pennsylvania, they could not be held
to be doing business exclusively with
in this State and therefore were liable
to pay fees imposed by the banking
act, but where such associations had
stockholders who were non-residents
of the Commonwealth, procured with
out solicitation upon the part of the
association, this fact did not subject
them to the payment of fees.
POSTOFFIOE SHARP,
A Scoundrel Who Clears Five Dollars
When He Works His Scheme
A strange man walked into the
Renovo postoffice recently at
about six o'clock, and asked
for ten cents worth of postage stamps.
In payment thereof he tendered a $10
bill. Mrs. Hull, the postoffice clerk,
gave him in payment a $5 bill and
$4.90 in silver. The man then dis
covered that he had ten cents and
asked Mrs. Hull to return the $10 bill
at the same time giving her ten cents
for the stamps together with the silver
change she had given him. He then
quickly left the office. The. young
lady then discovered that the stranger
had failen to return the $5 bill. She
notified Mr. Wright as soon as possi
ble, but no trace of the scoundrel has
been seen since. His object was ap
parently to confuse the clerk, which
he succeeded in doing. That same
evening a telegram was received by
Postmaster Wright, from the post
office at Lock Haven, warning him
against a party who had worked the
same scheme in that office. Hilton

Semi Monthly Pay Law.
Thn Clearfield Case to be Appealed to the
Supreme Court.
The employees of the Union Coal
Company at Shamokin have petitioned
the Factory Inspector to compel the
corporation to comply with the pro
visions of the SemiMonthly Pay law.
Judge Gordon, of Clearfield County,
declared the act unconstitutional, and
the law department of the State will
appeal the case to the Supreme Court.

Demand and Supply.
We have attain entered unon an era
of acknowledged prosperity. All the
induMtics are humming with medium
cal activity, l'.usints. is trm-i. in
every department. U'a-s have ad
vancid all along the labor line. All
cl.issts fan to profit from the pnl
sation of a new tmsintss life. The
national financial health seems to
glow with vigorous and sturdy color.
1 nere seems to be an absorption of
all manufactured products as fast as
falling from the producing machinery,
as fast as the earth absorbs the falling
rains iroin tne Hying clouds. But
notwithstanding all, there is a glut in
the agricultural product without suffi
cient opening to allow that commodity
to flow into the markets of the world
with profit to the producer.
The value of fhe world's aggregate
agricultural product is about the same
each year, whether the vdume of that
product is large or small. The stand
ard of vaiue is upon the over full, or
under full bushel. In an excessive
crop the price per bushel is less ; in a
partial failure the price per bushel is
more. It is expansion, or contraction
of value per bushel with the agricult
ural product, owing to circumstances
of quantity. The farmer, as a whole,
can make neither more, nor less money
by producing greater or less quantities.
The supplv is the barometer of his
profits. The aggregate profits are
about the same each year. When
there is no visible supply o( a stable
agricultural product, the price is en
hanced from one to two hundred per
cent. When the supply has no visible,
or possible end, the commodity is a
glut, ami commands hardly any price.
It can hardly be exchanged for other
commodities, even at a sacrifice. A
proline crop requires more labor and
expense for gatherin g and marketing
to realize a certain sum, or profit,
than an average crop will cost for
gathering and marketing to realize
the same sum, or profit, providing the
prolific, or average crop, is universal.
There seems to be no progression in
the accumulation of the farmers'
wealth, although there is an endless
progression in the accumulation of
wealth in almost all other directions,
as well as in the productive capacity
of agricultural machinery. The pro
gression in the agricultural product
consumptive capacity of the world
has not kept apace with the agricult
ural product producing capacity
hence overproduction, gluts, low
prices and no demand in years of
bounteous harvests. The question
arises, why should coal, and manu
factured products advance in price in
times of general prosperity and agri
cultural products decline in price in
prosperous times. There is need of
some leveling up in this direction.
There is certainly " something rotten
in Denmark," or these things would
not so be.

A Big Corn Crop-
We lately visited Mr. Alex. Bill
meyer's farm, situated about a mile
from town, and inspected his corn
fields. He has about 90 acres this
year, and it is a wonderful thing to
see what a corn crop, he produced not
a few stalks or shocks, but the whole
crop. There is scarcely a hill missed
throughout the whole field and all the
corn is large. It will yield on the
average 145 bushels to the acre. If
any one doubts this statement let him
visit the farm and it will be proven to
be a fact. Twelve men cut in one
day, 1008 large shocks of this corn.
He will have about 1200 bushels of
corn on the ear. Its value at fifty
cents per bushel shelled will be $3000,
about as much as some farms of equal
size would yield all crops combined,
Mr. Billmeyer certainly stands at the
front in his business. Montour

A Oow Devoured Bis Ooat.
Harry Deeds, of Reading, while
cutting corn, hung his coat upon the
fence. A cow coming along devour
ed the whole of it except part of one
sleeve and a corn-cob pipe.
The pipe stuck fast in the animal's
throat, and it was with great difficulty
that it was dislodged. Lancaster

The Democrats in the county

November 5th and give an old-time

thousand of a majority in the county

should not be much of a task for every
Democrat to cast his vote when the
time comes. A good, big majority

An every-day hen's egg nearly
caused a rupture between a Chester
young woman and her lover. While
in the poultry yard two weeks ago, she
picked up an egg and placed it in the
pocket of her mackintosh, but before
she returned to the house the egg was
forgotten. The mackintosh was hung
on a hook and was not disturbed un
til a night or two ago, when it was
donned by the young lady, and when
the arm of the lover embraced her,
the long-suffering egg gave way. Soon
the lover grew abstracted, and gradu
ally withdrew his arm. He edged off
from the girl, and, touched to the quick
and not understanding his coldness, she
also widened the space. Finally, seiz
ing his hat, the lover muttered an ex
cuse and left the premises, and the girl
fled into the house, where she burst into
tears. The broken egg made its pres
ence felt in the house to the other
members of the family, but as the
young lady had a cold she had not
noticed the aroma which drove off her
lover. A reconciliation followed and
the lover explained that he was an
gered to think that the girl he loved
could tolerate an oder so awful as that.
