PENSION FOR MRS. FAUVER.
(cured Through ths Personal Effort
ol
CongrMimin McHsnry.
Mrs. Sarah Fauver, widow of the
late Henry Faver, of Milton, is re
ceiving the congratulations of her
Iriends upon the granting of her
pension claim. This case was a
most worthy one, but owing to
some complications it had been de
layed so long that her friends had
given up hope of her ever securing
her just dues. Through the per
sonal efforts of Congressman Mc
IIenry, speedy action has been tak
en by the department resulting in
placing her on the $15 per month
list from June 25, 1007, and the
payment to her of back claims still
due which have been approved by
the department. Not only the sol
diers but all citizens of this district
can congratulate themselves upon
having a representative who will
look after their interests in an en
ergetic and capable manner. Mil

HARVESTING BY MOONLIGHT
Several thousand acres of Lehigh
county wheat were cut last week
by moonlight. The harvest, al
ready three weeks late on account
of cold weather in spring, was mnch
delayed by the rains of the past
fortnight. Farmers accordingly
took advantage of the full moon to
cut their grain, which was dead
ripe. Self-biuders were brought
into play, and relays of horses used.
The moon was so bright that it was
as easy to reap the grain by night
as by day. Some farmers kept their
binders running without stopping
tor sixty hours. The farmers paid
neighboring boys and girls twenty
cents an hour to shock the grain as
last as the reapers cut it, besides
giving them three meals, breakfast,
dinner and supper, and three lunch
eons, at 9 a. m., 3 p. m. and at
midnight. Some of the boys and
girls worked a full twenty-four
hours for a day, making $4.80, be
sides getting their board. This is
believed to be the record paid for
farm labor in the United States,
Even at that the farmers regarded
the work done for them more as an
accommodation than cold-blooded
labor done for hire. Many of the
harvest workers thus employed are
school teachers, their recompense
for working in the fields being
double that of the school room.
The harvest, which is about half
completed, is prolific beyond all ex
pectations.

A GREAT OFFER
For You Only
Read this announcement. It is your opportunity.
If you don't read it you will miss your chance. The
greatest magazines in this country have combined to be
offered together at a greatly reduced rate. Never before
was such an offer given to the public, and it is safe to
say never will be made again. This year several maga
zines have increased their subscription price, which
shows how much greater this offer really is. The only
reason we are making it to the people of this vicinity is
because the magazine finds they have not as many sub
scribers as they desire in this particular locality. But
only a limited number will be sold at this price, there
fore we advise every one to accept this offer without
delay. When we have received a certain number we
shall withdraw the offer. . , .
