Uentre Uounty’s Share of the Froposed Road Apropriations, Centre county's proportionnate share of the proposed road appropria- tion will be $37,410,090 for state-aid roads and $273,839.62 for Btate High-|*“ ways. The local authorities must add $37,410.09 to the Btate-ald appropria- tion to make it available. With this addition, the total amounts applicable to Centre county roads, under the terms of the bill now pending would be $348,659,70.

I'hey told us not to take any exercise for 24 hours and now almost all the boys ore sitting on thelr cots writing letters to loved ones at home. It oer. tainly is 8 wonderful sight to see so many in uniforms, Some of the boys are very sick now eick myself, My arm is getting very sore and I will have to quit writing. When I awoke this morning I eat up and and looked around to see if I knew any one, and was surprised to see Mr. Erdman, from F. & M. His cot was right at the foot of mine. To- day when the several companies pass- ed ours I saw several F. & M, boye. I am afraid I will not have time to write you as oftez as I would like. Our work starts at 5:30 in the morning and no let up until 10 at night. This is a great place. It Is on the ban ks of the Nisgara river and back of our barracks Is Lake Ontario. Across the river from our barracks is the Canadian Fort. They have twen- ty thousand soldiers within s half mile of this fort. Just now there are 2000 men in front of our barracks and the band ls giviog a concert. I am too sick to go out and hear it.

While her sisters in London, Paris their jewels, giving the gold to the common treasury and selling the gems to swell relief funds and keep the wolf from the door, the New York lady is daily acquiring an increased penchant for the finest jewelry that the world produces. Prosperity is once more smiling on New York, particularly in the financial district, and consequent ly the great jewelry houses are bene fiting thereby, says the Wall Street Journal. Any of the leading Fifth avenue diamond merchants will tell one that hundreds of prominent Wall street folk visit their showrooms weekly to buy of the best, and the best {8 never too good for them to tender te their womenfolk. Many European workers in gold and silver, whose art is famous in Europe, and who could not have been bribed to work in this country a couple of years ago, have come to these shores seeking work which cannot be found in Europe. The great De Beers syndicate in London has prevented an influx of gems on the market by purchasing privately the collections of jewelry offered by prominent women in the European centers, and this has un doubtedly held up the price for dia monds. Many great American jewel ers sent over representatives to Eu rope soon after the war broke out in the hope that they could pick up quan- tities of gems cheaply, but they came back empty handed owing to the ac tivities of the De Beers syndicate. Jewelers expect the demand for their wares to increase as the coun- try grows in prosperity, and a busi ness that was at the lowest possible ebb a little over a year ago now has glided possiblities, MAY YET BE KING OF SERBIA Possibility That Happening, Put Forth as Romance, May Be Turned into Reality.

A report for 1914 shows the total production of crucible and electric steel to have been 184,400 tons and the electric product was nearly 90,000 tons—only 8,500 less than the output of crucible steel, And more electric furnaces were expected.
