Happenings in the Daily Life of Folks Who Live Outside
the Larger Cities and Boroughs of Central Pennsyl
vania; What People Are Doing in Country Places
The Gettysburg National Park
will have placed within its limits
ten German cannon or field pieces
with carriages accompanied by a
suitable number of shells if a bill
introduced by Hon. Edward S.
Brooks, Congressman from the
York-Adams district, goes through.
It is stipulated that the cannon be.
among those the American Army
captured from the Germans during
the World War. The suggestion has
also been made that two of the can
non be placed upon the grounds of
Gettysburg College and the others
at points jointly agreed upon by the
Secretary of War and the Gettys
burg National Park Commission.
Thp National Park Commissioners
are of the opinion that it will not
he possible to place the German
cannons on the battlefield unless
Congress passes a special act which
would repeal the statute now in
force which states that no gun can
be exhibited on the National Park
except those of the same caliber as
the ones used during the great
battle of 1863.
John Updegraff, of Hamiltonban
township, Adams county, has
brought suit against the Standard
Products Company, at Iron
Springs, for the recovery of $797.50.
Updegraff claims he worked for the
men named in the suit at a con
tract salary of $35 per week from
October 22, 1917, until February 13,
1910, and was paid onlv $1,600, al
though $2,397.50 was due him.
The third volunteer fire company
of Tyrone, unable to withstand tho
strain of the other two companies
obtaining motorized equipment, have
followed suit and ordered a White
steamer, to he delivered in October.
On the receipt of this machine, the
Tyrone department will be entirly
motorized. All this has been done
by the companies themselves, as
sisted by the citizens. Not any of
the expense of obtaining these ma
chines was born by the town itself
through the municipal government.
There is quite a lot of objection on
this score as many are of the opinion

Fishing stories are coming in
from all parts of Central Pennsyl
vania. George Webber, of Lewis
town, a well known angler, betook
himself to Tuscarora creek on Tues
day and soon had his limit of bass.
! Several fishermen who sat near him
i trying to lure the gamy inhabitants
of the creek got nothing, although
| they used bait similar to that em
| ployed by Webber. Albert Herbst,
•an 11-year-old boy of Lewistown, is
putting expert fishermen to shame
along the Juniata. With an ordi
: nary line and pole cut from a tree
he is pulling them out of the river, ;
while the more experienced disciples
of Walton are landing not a one.
While the office is not especially
remunerative the post of chief bur
! gess is being eagerly sought in
j Marysville, and for this nomination
alone there will be a contest in the
I Republican party. Both F. O. Ham
ilton and Milton C. Dick want the
nomination. During tho early
i months of 1919 council refused to
; honor a bill of 3100 for his service
during 1918, presented by the bur
gess, Amos M. Fisher. Council
; sliced the bill to $5O, holding that
the services performed were worth
Ino more. Candidates appear to be
■ working with the idea that they
j will be rewarded to a greater extent
if they perform their services elfi- I
ciently. The Democratic borough I
committee has not met, but there |
will be at least one and probably j
more seekers after the nomination j
| of that party, and it is even hinted '
; that a woman candidate will seek
1 the job.

BIBLE STUDY AT
CAMP GOING ON
Twenty - Seventh Confercnc
Under Way by United
Brethren at Mt. Gretna
Mount Gretna, Aug. 7. The
twenty-seventfli annual Bible con
ference, held under the auspices of
the East Pennsylvania Conference,
United Brethren in Christ, is under
way here, opening on Tuesday even
ing under most favorable circum
stances. The attendance was the
largest in the history of the confer
ence. The opening service began
with singing, led by the Rev. Dr. S.
C. Enck, of Philadelphia, the con
ference superintendent who has
general supervision of all the sacv
ices.
He introduced the. Rev. George
B. Alrieh, of Easton, who delivered
the first exposition on the "Person
and Work of Jesus Christ." He em
phasized the need of a firm belief
in the deity and miracles of our
Lord. By numerous scriptural quo
tations he proved the fact that
apart from His deity there is no
atonement nor salvation. If He was
not the Son of God —as He himself
declared—then He was the great
test impositor the world ever saw.
The early "Morning Watch" at
6.30 on Wednesday was conducted
by tlic Rev. O. G. Itomig, of Denver.
At 8.30 the Rev. George B. Alrich
gave him second Bible exposition.
At 10.30 the Rev. M. 11. Wert, of
Highspire, preached a practical and
helpful sermon.
The children's hour at 1 p. m. was
in charge of Miss Margaret Baltzell
of Reading.
Saturday will be observed as Wo
man's Missionary Day. An interest
program will be given by the Wo

Historical Data Found
in Church Cornerstone
Carlisle, Pa., Aug. 7.—Some rich
historical data was unearthed here
yesterday when workmen demolish
ing the old Dickinson Law School
building, for many years the
Emory Methodist church, came to
the old corner ptone. The stone
was laid in July, 1857. Among the
articles were several newspapers, a
catalog of Dickinson College, other
Dickinson College papers and news
papers. A program of the com
mencement of 1857 was included and
contained the name of Col. John
Hays, of Carlisle, as one of the
orators. There were 19 graduates
that year. In addition, one of the
newspapers contained an item that
"A detachment of 200 soldiers left
Carlisle Barracks on Monday last
for Utah." The papers will be
turned over to the Hamilton Li
brary Association.
WILL DEDICATE
ITS BAND STAND
Now Cumberland to Celebrate
in Honor of Soldiers on
September 6
New Cumberland, Aug. 7. - The
committees that sold bonds, created
the community singing and prose
cuted other war activities here were
not satisfied to disband without
doing something for their town.
They got on the job, fbund they had
a good band and authorized the con
struction of a new bandstand at
Third and Market streets. Lumber
and all materials were contributed
by the Susquehanna Woolen Mills
through the courtesy of G. H. Reiff.
Mechanics of tho town furnished
their labor free of charge. Next
Monday the band stand will be ded
icated and presented to the borough
for the use of the band and other
public activities.
The committee set aside September
6 for the giving of a community
thank offering to the boys who so
freely gave their service to their
country. This will be un all day
picnic and jollification. Friendly
rivalry is running high among tho
different organizations of town to
show how appreciative they are of
the soldiers' work. As a memorial
lo these boys it is planned to give
the fine athletic field in New Cum
berland to some civic organization
and build and maintain a play
ground and ball park for the kiddies
and gronwups.
Plans for these events are being
carefully worked out under the
guiding hand of New Cumberland's
old favorite, Frank L. Leib, whose
motto is, "Nothing too good for our
town."
