Miss Julia O'Donovan, stenogra pher in E. J. Mullen's law office, has returned from n two week's visit with friends at Sayrs. A. L. Lovelace of Sonestown, was in town Tuesday estimating timber land in the vicinity of Jakersville. The large barn on the farm of Asa Speary, near Nordmont, was struck by lightning during the storm of Tuesday afternoon and burned to the ground before any of the contents could be saved. It is understood that no insurance was carried. Some of the young boys of this place journeyed to Sonestown last Saturday to accept a challenge for a contest on the diamond. The husky lads of the valley village proved too much of a problem for our untrained youths and they returned home sore ly beaten. The score was something like I to 17. That the Japenese do love Japan is evidenced by tin- fact that only I —!>7l of the Mikado's subjects Re side abroad, seventy-two percent of whom are in the United States. Not one of the whole number has fore sworn allegiance to Japan, and near ly every one of them holds himself in readiness to answer the war call of his emperor. The boy who haunts the streets aftes nightfall withouj business or permission is cultivating a very dan gerous habit. Any place where a boy has 110 business is a dangerous place for liini, whether it is on the street, in the store or elsewhere. A boy that is all right likes his home, friends, books or newspapers in pre ference to the class found on the streets without business. Business men of all kinds looks upon the boy loafer as the dead beat of the future. Walter B. Gunton, coal operator at Bernice, while in West Virginia last week had the misfortune to have a leg broken by being caught by a fall of coal in a mine which he was inspecting. Mr. Gunton was brought to his home at Bernice, on Monday. As we are now in the midst of the hot season of the year, it may be in teresting to our readers to learn how to treat persons who may be pros trated by the sun's rays. If one is overcome by the heat, is pale, weak and pulseless, he wants a teaspoon ful of brandy, in water, to stimulate him. Ifhe is florid in the face, and his heart is running like a windmill, he wantsan application of cold water with ice 011 the temples and wrists. The lirst is "overcome by the heat," the second genuine "sunstroke" and a good deal more dangerous. The former is preceded by nausea and dizziness; the latter, if there are any premonitions at all, with a sudden dimness of sight, everything turning green. Every owner of an automobile must register his vehicle in the Pro thonotary's otfiee of the county where he lives and pay to the county treasurer a license fee of three dol lars per annum. This will enable him to run in any part of the state. AH such vehicles shall have gongs, lights, brakes and all danger devices. The driver shall not have any other right of way, must always stop when so signalled and sound his gong at proper times. All persons violating these rules shall be guilty of a misdemeanor, liable to a fine of one hundred dollars or thirty days in jail. If your horse is afraid of these machines you should signal the driver to stop his automobile until you can pass him, and if he does not and causes you trouble the law is on your side.
