Important stress will be put on the damage that has been done to crops in former years. It will be pointed out by teachers how many soldiers this amount would feed. The boys will be asked to co-operate in the move and If some of the school boys and girls should forget, they will be asked to remind them of it if they should see them carelessly destroy ing the crops in their celebration of Halloween. The crops In this community are larger than for years and great dam age could be done in this outlying district if the boys would proceed in celebrating this year as in former years. Several waeks ago several boys destroyed many cabbage stalks in I Lemoyne gardens and damaged other vegetables. These things brought about the ! suggestion of the West Shore man and to-day he said he had no trouble : in getting the co-operation of the 1 West Shore principals. Prof. Fred V. Rockey, principal of the Camp Hill schools where 350 j children attendy when asked his co- I operation said immediately that it i was the best way he knew in reach : ing rfhe boys and girls and that he j would take up the proposition on a | large scale and on Friday would ask ! the co-opeiation of the boys and girls. He said he would ask each teacher under his supervision to take up the matter with the pupils. Prof. Alfred Ensminger, principal of Lemoyne schools, when asked his assistance said without hesitation that the plaifwas a good one and would be put in force through special | efforts on Friday afternoon. Teachers Fall In. Professor Crunkleton, principal of the New Cumberland schools, said It was a very able suggestion and should have a good effect. He said further that the boys and girls in some Sections of the town had been at work last night l/irowing corn and that if they would be told just what damage they are doing he had little doubt but what they would desist. Prof. Clyde Mellinger of the West Fairvlew schools believes that this is a splendid plan as the boys and girls in this town in former years have been very destructive. He said spe cial attention will be called to the boys and girls of this move Friday afternoon. , Prof. 8. H. Hetrick of the Worm leysburg schools agreed that it was a good plan and that he would have his teachers co-operate. The plan has been approved by burgesses of the boroughs and if the boys and girls do not heed the advice and Insist on destroying crops they will be arrested.

German Socialists to Vote Against War Loan Unless Michaelis Goes Amsterdam, Oct. 17.—A German Socialist newspaper says the Social ists have supported the German Gov new war credit of 10.000,000,000 marks which is to be submitted to the Reichstag in December unless Chancellor Michaelis resigns.

EMPLOYERS MUST GIVE MEN WORK Compensation Board Issues Some Important Decisions on Employes • The State Compensation Board in u decision In a mining cose from] Luzerne county luinounced to-day holds that an employer can not take the initiative by summarily stop ping compensation payments on the ground that he believes that an employe has recovered, but that "it is -his duty to tile a petition alleg ing the changed condition of the em ploye in respect to his injuries and then this averment must be followed, up by such proof that the board can determine the truth of the same." The board also holds that it. if the duty of the employer to go further than present opinions of wit nesses. "The burden rests on the employer to furnish the injured em ploye some employment that he can perform and thus present to the board the very best testimony as to the. condition of the employe and his ability to earn wages • • • Of course, the employe must do his part. He can not stand back and stubbornly refuse to accept a rea sonable offer at the hands of his employer. In such a case it would become our plain duty to discon tinue compensation entirely and wait until the employe yielded to reason, accepted a position and gave us fig ures for computing his partial dis ability." In the c-ase ruled upon, Clerks vs. I-ehigh and Wilkes-Barre Coal Company, the hoard reinstated com pensation until proof is given. In the case of Gorman vs. Scran ton Bolt and Nut Company, the award of the referee is set aside because there is no testimonv to estnblish an accident and in Bail vs. Susquehanna Coal Company, it is found, that the employe had tuber culosis and was not hurt accident ally. In sustaining the referee in Peterman vs. Veale, Hazleton, the board says "We have many times expressed the thought that we have no disposition to reverse a referee upon a question of fact when the record fails to disclose any abuse of discretion upon his part or any er ror that misguided his judgment." The Compensation Board has or dered reinstatement of the com pensation agreement in the case of Melvin Nealy vs. Senator E. H. Vare, Philadelphia, which came be fore the board on petition to re view final agreement "allegenl to have been signed by the employe under a misapprehension or mis take as to his real condition." It is found that "the claimant signed a final receipt under-q clear mistake as to his physical condition and sub sequently made an honest effort to work and was unable to do so be cause of his injuries suffered in the accident complained of."

There has been a spell of com paratively good weather in the area east of Ypres where the British steam roller is pushing its way through the German lines.

Macedonian Campaign There has been notably active pa trol activity by the entente armies In Macedonia recently and it seems possible that some aggressive use is finally to be made of the huge force the allies have had assembled there for many months.

The proclamation of a war zone may mean either the delimiting of an area in which, because of mines, sub marine activities or general naval operations, neutral shipping travels at great risk, or the establishment of a "submarine blockade" such as now exists around the British and French coasts and in which all ships are stink on sight unless.

Better realize from the outset that when Rheumatism attacks, you have a real battle on your hands, and that it's a man's job to get rid of it. Temporizing with Rheuma tism by the use of liniments, lo tions and other external meth ods of treatment, is like trying to coax- an enemy to let up in his attacks, and permit you to conquer him without resistance. But you soon learn that Rheu - matism will not treat you with this consideration. The tiny little germs flock together by the millions and center their at tack with undivided force. The effects of the disease are grad ual in taking hold on the system In fact, the pains are only sHght &t first and do noT attract your serious attention, but they gradually increase in severity until your entire system is firm ly within the grip of the disease. It is then that you have a real fight on your hands for you will find that Rheumatism is a foe that knows just how to cripple you. The pains that were hard ly noticeable at first, become your constant companions and seem to take delight in your suffering. Of course, if this painful di sease was on the surface only, you might reasonably expect to get relief by the use of surface remedies, such as liniments and other local applications. But the source of the diseases is your blood, the tiny disease germs find lodgment there and multiply by the millions and scatter, by means of the blood train, complying with certain onerous restrictions. The first kind of a war zone was proclaimed both by Great Britain and Germany In the North Pea long before the present intensive submarine cam paign. The German sinkings under the war zone proclamation were the subject of long and complicated dis putes between Germany and the Unit ed States. Germany finally promising not to sink liners without warning, a pledge which was observed more or less faithfully until the proclamation of the ruthless submarine campaign last February.

The sensible treatment for this disease, and the only* one from which you can expect per manent results, is a treatment that goes down into the blood supply and reaches the source of the disease S. S. S. is a won derful blood remedy and is the logical treatment for Rheuma tism, bcause it promptly perme ates the entire blood supply and reaches out and eliminates the disease germs. If you are a victim of Rheu matism, you can take S. S.
