Men wearing ministerial garb had better keep away from the farmers of Indiana county. About 20 wealthy residents of the county have been swindled on a game which is new and original in that section, if not in the country. A man wearing ministerial clothes and who says grace at the table and invites the family to join in evening prayer, has been going about among the farmers, and, be ing overtaken at night, has usually been invited to remain with the family. He has always selected the men who are known to have money. Next morning, as the alleged preacher is ready to depart, a young man and woman ride up in a bug gy and hurriedly ask where they can find a minister, as they are anxious to get married. The young man usually displays a roll of bids, and the visitiug parson, trying to earn an honest dollar, offers to marry them. After the ceremony the visiting minister asks the farmer if he will witness the marriage certificate, which the farmers have been do ing. Later they are told that a promissory note is in the neighbor ing bank, and they are called to pay up. W. B. Templeton, of Adrian, In diana county, a wealthy farmer, has made a complaint to the Indi ana authorities, to the effect that in this manner he was victimized out of $300, which he had to pay on what he thought was a marriage certificate, which proved to be a promissory note. The Farmer's Lot in Pennsylvania Is Bright and Cheery. "Even we farmers," says the Grange JVews, editorially, "some times think that the sun of agricul tural opportunity shines brighter in the west or elsewhere. But when one travels into that famous coun try he learns that there are about an equal number of eyes that look longingly towards Pennsylvania's richly stored hills, toward)her beau tiful and rugged mountains that hold the treasures of a good sized nation within their placid bosoms. To the alert and progressive farm ers outside our state, our fertile aud well watered valleys appeal longingly while our unequaled and nearby home markets appear as a mecca from which the farmer in Pennsylvania may reap a golden harvest. Our immense population of consumers, every one of whom is or may be employed at good wages, is able and willing to pay better prices for the produce of the larm than ever before." To the Voters of all Parties in Colum bia County. We have but one State officer to vote for this fall and we have nom inated for that office a young man from our good old Columbia coun ty. A man who is worthy, honest, and upright. Since he is from our home county we ought to take pride enough aud interest enough to turn out and give the ticket a very large vote.

A Lillls Forethought on lh Part ol Each Will Better the Conditions lor All Gunners. As the hunting season is now on a lew reminders to the thousands of hunters who go into the woods and field in quest of game, will not be amiss, and if paid attention to, will doubtless result in great and lasting good, doing much toward the perpetuation of the game ani mals and birds of our state. First of all, never violate any of the game laws, always hunt iu moderation, never exceeding the bag limits. The days of big bags have passed. Take your game in a fair and sportsmanlike manner, never pot it or you will be included in the game hog class. Do not, under any circumstances, kill any bird or animal that is not strictly game, especially song and insectivorous birds. Turn not your guns upon the black birds, although the state gives you permission to do so, for they are not game birds any more than are robins, flickers, woodpeck ers, meadow larks, etc. Do not, "clean out" the game in any section; leave some for seed. The less game killed for the next eight or ten years the better, in or der to give it n chance to increase. Don't hunt deer. With all the protection given these noble ani nuls, they are not yet plentiful enough to kill. Do not cut down or burn squirrel trees, wait for the squirrel to come out, and never damage any line timber. Be very careful not to empty the burning contents of your pipe or throw matches and cigar stumps among tlu dry leaves, and when you build a fire in the woods, be sure it is extinguished before you leave it. The destruction done by forest fires is enormous. Always remember you cannot use too much care in the use of guns in the woods, for your own safety as well as others. And last but not least, do not do any drmage on farm lands over which you hunt; show your appreciation of the far mer's kindness iu permitting you to hunt on his land by being very careful not to destroy anything aud always remember to be as much a gentleman in the woods as at any other place. Dress to Suit Your Position. "Dress to suit your position," is a word of advice given by Mrs Anna Steese Richardson to her girl readers in the Woman s Home Com panion for November, "if you work in a dirty office, such as a printing concern, a wholesale grocery or a hardware shop, wear skirts that clear the ground by at least three inches ; but if you are employed in the private office which has been well furnished and nicely carpeted, wear longer skirts, not trains, but cut to escape the ground. Your employer will want you, like the furniture and pictures, to dress his office harmoniously. Wear tailored shirt waists and black or Oxford gray tailored skirts. If you prefer black silk waists, never fail to soft en these with fine linen or lawn col lars and cuffs and white or black ties. Avoid garish colors. Be dignified in your dress as well as your manner. Do not consider that money spent on office clothes is wasted. It will bring you better returns than money spent on party frocks or feather-trimmed hats." Manslaughter if Cop Kills. Musn't Shoot After Commanding Fugitive to Hall. A precedent is said to have been established in this state by the find ing of a jury in Allegheny county to the effect that if a police officer is chasing a fugitive without a war rant he has no right to shoot after calling on the pursued disturber to halt, even if the latter continues running. The decision was reached in the case of David Bowles, a former Pittsburg policeman, who thus shot aud killed Herbert Boland, of Mc- Kee's Rocks, August 25, 1906. Bowles was found guilty of volun tary manslaughter. To Remove Wrinkles From Garments To take the wrinkles from skirts or other garments, after being pack ed, or from any cause, hang over a register or near a stove, on a form, or as you would hang in your clos et. The garment will look like new. JERSEYS Combination and Golden Lad FOR SALE a Cows, 3 Heifers and 13 Bulls. S. E. NIVIN, Landenburg, Pa. 5-a3-iy' Goosebone Says Cold Weather. Berks County Prophet Sees Signs ol a Long Winter. According to the goosebone, there is a hard winter ahead. 1 Notwithstanding the fact that Eli.is llartz, the veteran goosebone . weather prognostigator, is no more, j there remain in Reading and vicin- ity several of his ardent followers who stand ready to take up Ins work where he left off. They are warm supporters of the goosebone theory and say prognostications of j llartz always came true. llartz foretold weather conditions for many years. He was taught to lead the goosebone when a boy and made annual predictions for over , half a century. Many Reading ik.t- j sons waited for his annual advice, ' "Fill your coal bins." Others have ' been following the goosebone and its teachings for many years and are anxious to take up the work. The earliest prediction of the present year is made by Amos May er, a farmer living in the western end of Iierks county. The front part of the top of the brcast-boue is very dark, and near the center it is white for a considerable distance. Beyond this it is dotted, aud then comes a long, dark streak. The goosebDtie prophet says: "According to the breast bone we will have quite cold weather in the latter part of October and for two weeks in November. Then there will be a warm spell, lasting for a few days. December will be a cold month, with an occasional snowstorm. January will be a month of snow, hail and an occas ional cold spell. "The dark colors on the end of the breast bone indicate that Feb ruary will be a very cold month, and there will be several blizzards. At one particular part of the bone it is almost black, which means that we will have lots of snow and sleet. The cold weather will con tinue way into March, aud we will have a very late Spring. The goosebone was compared with several obtained from other birds killed within the past few weeks, and they seem to be marked identically the same. LANDLORD IN JAIL. Wealthy Property Owner Serving Out Sen tence. Judge Porter, of Lawrence coun ty, has just taken a step which would make an end of the leasing of property to gamblers and other conductors of unlawful business if it were generally imitated. He has sent to the Allegheny work house for a period of thirty days, George J. Jones, a wealthy real es tate owner and a prominent citizen of New Castle. Jones was arrested on the charge of leasing a building for gambling purposes. He admit ted his guilt and the sentence was promptly imposed. There are prominent and wealthy men in nearly every city of the state who are in the habit of renting property for immoral purposes. They do this in spite of their eminent re spectability, because they are hun gry for money, and know that property leased lor such purposes usually brings in more money than would otherwise be the case. They do not trouble themselves about the possible result to the community or some of its weak-minded lunabi tants. In order that men of this sort may be brought to justice it will be necessary for some officer or some citizen to get sufficient legal evidence to convict. It is only when property is knowingly rented for illegal purposes that the owner is held responsible. Hence there must be legal evidence sufficient to convince a jury if a conviction is to be had and punishment is to follow. But no more effectual method for suppressing certain forms of crime could be adopted. And it would be just punishment for allowing greed to stule the warning of con science. A Lycoming Barrister Debarred and Sent to Prison. August W. King, a well-known member of the Lycoming county bar, has been sentenced to six months' imprisonment in the coun ty jail and fined $500 aud the costs of the prosecution. He was also debarred from further practice in that county. He was convicted of embezzling $8,000 from an estate of which he was executor. Judge Krickbaum possesses the abilities and the business qualifica tions to make a good Associate Judge for Columbia county for the next term. Go to the polls and give him your support; he will help guard the taxpayers' interest.

Commissioner Fousl T0II9 ol Work ol His De partment. Some interesting facts and figures concerning the adulteration of food stuffs and the work now being done in the interests of pure food were j presented by James Foust, State Dairy and rood Commissioner, in an address made before the United Business Men's Association, at Philadelphia. What most impress ed his listeners was the statement of the results achieved by the Pure Food Division, showing that the public is now getting an entirely different kind of food from what it did two years ago, even though the food may look aud taste the same. The value of the new Pure Food law, which was approved June 1 of this year, was dwelt upon by Mr. Foust, and the importance of it was urged. He said that the law is as yet untested and uninterpreted, but that as it looks at present it ap pears to cover the ground well. In part he said : The scheming manufacturer un til recently was able to manufacture and place on the markets an arti ficial product that only scientific chemists could detect. Since the organization of the division, sev eral thousand prosecutions were brought and terminated for the adulteration of all kinds of foods. Many thousand dollars in fines were sent by the agents to the Dairy and Food Commissioner- Two years ago fifty per cent, of the so-called olive oil was made from cotton seed. The adulterated oil was put up in cans purporting to come from Italy, which were labeled as taking the premium at many expositions ; photographs of medals were on the labels, and everything conceivable was done to deceive the purchaser. This has practically been wiped out, and the market has now pure olive oil. This is also true in almost every other line of food supplies ; more especi-1 ally milk, as the practice of using formaldehyde and other poisons has been practically wiped out in Pennsylvania, brought about large ly by the National Food and Drugs Acts, and the rules and regulations prepared by the Federal authori ties for the guidance of the trade, as well as the rigid enforcement of the laws in Pennsylvania during recent years. It naturally follows that since the trade is complying with the national law in our State as well as elsewhere, giving the consumer pure products, there must natur ally be a decrease in the number of prosecutions. This is a circum stance which should cause rejoicing throughout the Commonwealth rather than criticism. Since my appointment on April 15. 197. between eight and nine thousand samples of milk, cream, ice cream, various kinds of meat, catsup, jelly, jam, olive oil, pickles, oleomargarine, renovated butter, vinegar and other food samples have been purchased and many prosecutions have been instituted. From April 15 to October 12, 1907, there have been terminated 112 pure food cases, 100 oleomargarine, 22 milk, 3 renovated butter and 3 vinegar, making a total of 240 cases terminated. The total amount of fines received was $10,804. The total amount received from oleo margarine and renovate 1 butter licenses during the same period was $2211.02, making a grand total of $13,015.02 turned into the State Treasury for the use of the Com monwealth. Every Vote Counts One. As there are only three offices to fill this fall it will take but a mo ment to vote. Do not fail to go to the polls and vote for Harman, for State Treasurer; Krickbaum, for Associate Judge, and Boyd Tres cott for County Surveyor. Respectfully, J. II. Mbrchr, Chairman. Music and Fun in "The Tuymakers." There are very few theatre-goer iu the United Slates and Canada who have not seen and enjoyed tbat "greatest New I'nglui.d Play Evei Written," "(Juiiicy Adams Saw yer." While muMc v.a, not made a great feature of this play or the production, what there was of it was of the most enjoyable sort, and of great assistance in the complete ness and success of the entertain ment. The author of "Qnincy Adams Sawyer" is Charles Feltoo Pidgin, who now comes with new play, "The Toy makers," whose locale is laid in old England in a picturesque little village o Middleton-On-Thc-Cjuick, with characters as quaint and as inter esting as the village itself. They are indeed the village for, after all, it is the individual that gives color and life aud warmth to otherwise inanimate and uniuteresting wood and brick and clay and glass. An thor Pidgin, in "The Toy makers," has drawn his characters with paint, has laid on his colors in masses; his brushwork ia strong and vigorous and his composition is certain to enchain the attention. He has done more than this for he has made his characters sing appro priate songs. Now, although Mr, Pidgin has written the songs, com monly called lyrics, he makes no pretence to ability to write music, so the aid of those two nell knows Boston composers, Charles D. Blake and John A. Bennett, was called into service and the result was a delightful combination of lyric and music rarely found nowadays, even in the most ambitious of musical comedies. "The Toymakers" Is to be presented here at the Grand Opera House, Thursday evening. November 21st by "The Jollities," under the management of Charles F. Atkinson and James Thatcher and nearly three hours of delicious fun, clean wit, snappy satire, com ical situations, electrical life and a feast of joyous melody are assured to all patrons. There are nearly two dozen musical numbers in "The Toymakers" and those not of the necessary descriptive or romantic character will be certain n Vn the fingers and the toes a-tapping au sena one nome in right merry mood. Judge Krickbaum has always guarded the interests of the tax payers since he occupied the posi tion of Associate Judge. It has always been the aim of Judge Krickbaum to represent his constituency. This will be his con tinued aim and we know that the taxpayers of Columbia county real ize this quality in him. . The November Woman's Horn Companion.
