THURSDAY EVENING,
CUMBERLAND VALLEY
CARLISLE CAN
BORROW MONEY
State's Special Agent Finds
That Method of Account
ing Was Misleading
Carlisle, Pa.. Jan. 17. —The tangle
in the Carlisle borough finance has
been unraveled by the visit of George
W. Myers, a special agent of the De
partment of I>abor and Industry.
After a new summary of the books
he holds that the town not only can
borrow the SIO,OOO sought for a new
automobile fire truck, but can issue
$50,000 additional in bonds, if such
are authorized, and still be within
the limit.
The method of accounting in vo
gue here, which caused an apparent
discrepancy, is blamed. The town has
ten bond issues, kept separately on
the books, but the redemption funds
are lumped and used to pay off the
oldest outstanding issue. In addition,
in early years too small a per cen
tage for redemption was set aside,
thus making a detlcit. The state man
urges all of the indebtedness being
combined in one main bond issue.
Freak Answers Brought Out
by Draft Questionnaires
Waynesboro, Pa.. Jan. 17.—Classi
fication draft questionnarles have
brought into the lifelight no end of
freaks over the country, but not
many to exceed two in the second
exemption district of this county.
One was an ostensibly feeble-minded
person, but his sense of humor could
not be keener. When asked to sign
papers by the officiating attorney,
he refused point blank and said he
would sign no papers until he had
"consulted Senator Penrose."
Another was of a pious. Biblical
turn and added, in his return of the
draft document, that whilst he sign
ed as an act of dutiful citizenship,
as popularly understood, "no chris
tian can call himself a citizen of this
world," and then cited the draft of
ficials to Phillippians, chapter 3,
verse 20; James 4:1 to 4: Psalms
2:1 to 3; Romans, chapter 3.

Stop Itching Eczema
| Never mind how often you have tried
and failed, you can stop burning, itching
j eczema quickly by applying a little zemo
furnished by any druggist for 35c. Extra
I large bottle, SI.OO. Healing begins the
; moment zemo is applied. In a short
1 time usually every trace of eczema,
I tetter, pimples, rash, blackheads and
similar skin diseases will be removed,
i For clearing the skin and making it
! vigorously healthy, always use zemo, the
penetrating, antiseptic liquid. It is not a
greasy salve and it does not stain. When
I others fail it is the one dependable
treatment for stin troubles of all kinds.

"All the comfoi ts of home, such as

TRYING TO FREE
LINCOLN ROAD
State Highway Department
Communicates With Adams
County Commissioners
Gettysburg. Pa., 17. —In a
communication received from the
State Highway Department the mat
ter of Adams county paying its part
of the cost to free the Lincoln
highway from toll was presented to
the County Commissioners at their
meeting this week. The matter was
held over, however, and no answer
given as to what the county would
do, because the presence of Harry B.
Slagle, chairman of the Hoard of
Commissioners, was needed at the
sitting of the Adams county exemp
tion board. They did notify the state
authorities that they would take the
matter up as soon as possible. The
turnpike company asks $22,000 for
that part of the road lying in Adams
county, and the proposition of the
state that they pay half and the
county half -would place SII,OOO on
each party.
