Everybody commits indis- cretions, either willfully or through ignorance or weakness; but harsh criticism and rash judgments do not help the offender, but shove him down, The golden rule should be ap- plied in such oases.

The threshing outfit belonged to George Brungard, of Nittany Valley, and the thresher which was in the barn was burned. The engine and water tank were saved. In the wagon shed was a hay and straw baler which was owned by W. (3, Bhafler. This was burned also. The loss is a serious one to all con cerned. Mr. Haagen is an elderly man and the blow is a hard one on him. The total loss is estimated at $4,000, on which there is an insurance of $2,000 in the Grange losurance company.

The man who pays his debts and his taxes may be a blessing or a curse to the community. It depends on what else he does. In making this statement it is to be understood that by the word “debt” is meant the ordinary cash obligation which a ma: incurs in the transaction of his busi nest. There are men who appear to believe that so long as they are not indebted to their neighbois for goods purchased, or the municipality or the state for the last tax levy they have discharged their whole duty and nothing more can be asked of them. Bat in reality a man's duty to his neighbor is limited only by his power to do his neighbor good, and his duty to the community by his ability to be of service to it. The community in which the prevailing statement is “Whatdo I get out of it?” is one which does not and cannot prosper,
