The gang of swindlers that traveled with the Howe circus which showed in Lewisburg on July 12th, succeeded fn landing a good sized sucker in a farmer at Jersey Shore, who was touched to the tune of $1200, The game was worked on a young farmer who came into Jersey Shore to see the show. Two of the men managed to get him in a conversation and of- fered him a position with them at $60 per month to sell electric belts which they claimed to manufacture, It was an easy job with lots of money | the | and no work. About the time deal was closed the third party of- fered him $80 per month to work for a rival concern. It was necessary, however, to place a bond or cash with the company. The farmer bit and going to the concern for which he was to work, who then disappeared with the wad. Officers were sent on the trail of the show, and at Towando the two slick articles who worked the game were located In a show car.

They took with them Smith, who was persuaded by former Judge Max I. Mitchell, his counsel, to | shave off part of his gray beard.

One Sunday, while preaching at a church In the country, where there was lots of goats that roamed at will, he was often interrup- ted by the goats bleating and butting around under the house.

According to com missioner Foust it consists of 8o per cent vaseline, 2 per cent salt and 10 per cent corn starch, . Under the Gerberich lard law passed by the legislature, petrol butter can be sold in I under the plain label “imitation lard” or ‘lard substi tute.” It would hardly pass us a butter substitute even in the lowest class res- taurants or boarding houses, but its use in cooking might not be detected and it would not be unwholesome, the com- | mission believes. While the *‘butter” may find its way on the market to some extent as a lard substitute, in its present form it will hardly make any stir as a table food. | Fell From Moving Car.
