SOn, BULLETINS FOR THE SCHOOLS Department of Agriculture Issues Works Franklin Menges on Soils Many school teachers in rural sec tions have this year started a refer ence library in their schools and have applied to the Department of Agricul ture for its publications on agricul tural subjects as the foundation of this library. One of the principal bulletins pub lished by the Department of Agricul ture is the "Soils of Pennsylvania," which is invaluable to the progressive farmer or to anyone in a community i who wishes to study his soil. Bulletin No. 250 treats with the soils by coun ties and townships in the eastern part of Pennsylvania, Including all counties east of the Allegheny mountains. Bul letin No. 257 treats with tho soils in the counties west of the Allegheny mountains. These bulletins have been prepared by Professor Franklin Menges, recognized as one of the best soil experts in the state. With this bulletin tho children of the schools can study the soils of their own neighborhood and their adapta bility to the crops that are to be grown. Many schools are sending the bulletins to the homes of the pupils for their parents to study, and in this manner the rural school teacher is doing a big work for the advancement of agri culture in their respective districts.

I The disease so closely resembled foot j and mouth disease that the authori ties placed a quarantine on the dis- I tricts and the Livestock Sanitary Board immediately placed an embargo against the importation of horses and cloven footed animals from west of the Mis-! souri river. The disease was deter mined as a peculiar form of stomatitis. The diseases are strikingly similar in as far as the mouth lesions of cattle are concerned, but it was found that no foot lesions were present in the cattle or horses, that swine were not susceptible and that the mouth lesions were not typical of foot and mouth j disease. The disease was pronounced as a ! contagious form of stomatitis that re- ] sponds readily to proper treatment, the study made by the Livestock Sani- | tary Board representatives will enable them to determino with little delay whether they are dealing with this i peculiar form of stomatitis or actual i foot and mouth disease. All of the shipments received in j Pennsylvania from Kansas City during j the dangerous time have been traced by the Stat? authorities and all cattle I were found to have been killed.

Rumanians Are Being Driven Into Small Square Walled in on All Sides Berlin, Dec. 21 (by wireless).— The military critic of the Overseas News Agency in an article on the situation on the various fronts, says: "In spile of the rainy weather and the completely soaked roads in east ern Wallachia, the Teutonic allies are making rapid progress. The frag ments, of the Bumanian army are be ing driven into a square which is hardly eighty kilometers wide and bounded by the Danube on the east. [ by the mountains on the west and the; Sereth river on the north. Through! this flat district flows the Buzeu river, j The chances of success for resistance' in it are exceedingly small as the river has been crossed on a broad front by [ the pursuing troops. The only large* town in this district still in Bumanian ! hands is Rimnik Sarat. The towns of ! - Braila. Galatz and Fokshant, from a' strategic and geographic point of view belong to the Sereth position. In Dobrudja tho Russians have; been driven by the Bulgarians until I they are south of Babadagh. The front! of the central powers now has been shortened nine hundred kilometers (About 600 miles) which is as much as is considered possible. "In the western theater the situa tion is unchanged except for local engagements. The French advance near Verdun was nothing but a politi- j cal demonstration and will be unable to exercise any influence upon the. general situation. The balance of the | year of 1916, therefore will not be improved for the French by small local successes. After months of 1 sanguinary fighting and heavy French and English losses the front in France and Belgium is virtually the same as! it was iijf December, 1915.'' j These stores tvill be closed evenings except Saturday 28-30 and 32 N. 3rd St. Christmas Gift Suggestions in Small Wear, Lingerie and Hosiery FOR FRIDAY'S SELLING--- Kayser Silk Hose Petticoats In black and white only.
