VOL. XCIIII. 4 HALL, PA DO THEY WISH A PANIC ? There is good ground for the suspicion that Repnblican leaders have a political purpose in their recent predictions of fi. nancial panics and industrial depression. It appears to be more than a coincidence that they should simultaneously be filled with pessimistic forebodings of calamity to come, and especially that they should voice these doleful prophecies in the course of speeches tinctured with parti- sanship. If there were a sudden recession of the country's prosperity—if there came a collapse of business, with widespread unemployment and distress— there might be some improvement in Republi- can chances of success in the Presiden- tial election next autumn, The situation now affords very little hope for a change from Democratic to Republican control in the executive branches of the Govern- ment, are more than keeping pace; there is Though prices are high. wages great activity in every line of commerce and ustry ; the banks are teeming with the people's savings ; the prospects of ind for a continuance these prosperous conditions.

Milk inspection, as usually conducted, would hardly have discovered tubercu- losis in this herd.” State Agricultural Notes. Farmers of Pennsylvania are urged by Secretary of Agriculture Rasmussen to order their lime for fertilizing purposes before they are ready to apply it. Com- panies supplying agricultural lime are crowded, being rushed with orders, and the farmer who delays securing his supply until spring will find difficulty in securing it, Pennsylvania is one of the forty States of the Union that is taking an active part in the national Better Sires- Better Stock campaign. Officials of the Bu. reau of Animal Industry, Pennsylvania Department of Agriculture, predict that the next decade will mark an general passing of the scrub live stock from the State. * A A tO The Centre Reporter, §i.50 a year, NEXT LECTURE COURSE ATTRACTION, MARCH 9.

But the steel mills are not id- ly waiting for these orders from the rail- roads. We are and have been turning out more steel than ever before.” | As to the labor situation, Mr, Schwab is confident that the future of the Nation is secure in the hands of the workers, *“] am not worrying about radical Socialism or Bolshevism in this country” he said. "You cannot fool the Ameri- can workingman, He knows where he stands, The men whom I know are en. ergetic and competent ana working bard to achieve something in their sphere of lite.

Belleville, Miffiin county, has done herself proud in the Jewish Armenian relief drive.

Although the Amish people re. fused to aid and abet the world war by subscribing their money they did not hes. itate last fall when the flu was raging to send a whole truck load of country pro- duce to the headquarters of the Red Cross with instructions to call on them for anything needed, and in this drive the school children gave twenty-five cents oach, many of them from their own'earnings.
