The br-jwers in their conven

they would give their efforts to

would, for there are but few de

The Normal school which has
been in progress here during the

has charge of those who are ap

class is large, and we do not envy
either the examiner or the teach
ers the fun they will get out of
the job this hot weather. The
young people who have attended
the school this term have been a
model set, and the town will feel
the loss of their presence.
Many a woman goes out shop

kind word since she was married.
There are pussz'es and puzzles
but here is a puzzle that puzzles
everybody: Take the number of
your living brothers, double the
amount, add to it three, multiply
by five, add to it the number of
living sisters, multiply by ten,
add the number of deaths of
brothers and subtract 150 from
the result. The right figure will
be the number of deaths, the
middle will be the number of
living sisters, and the left will
show the number of living broth
ers. Try it and see and then tell
why it figures out so.
It has been frequently sug
gested and tho sugestion is a
good cne, for every farmer to
place his name and the name of
his farm on his road gate. Notonly
would persons driving to a place
more easily And it, but it would
add more pleasure and interest
to people d riving from place to
place. This last result would
have special effect with regard to
well kept and pretty houses. An
observmgperson will seldom pass
a beautiful farm without desiring
to know who is its enterprising
owner.
A number of subscribers who

one way to keep it off. Publish

nearly 90 days since April 1.

With the approach of harvest
comes the chance for tens of
thousands of able-bodied men
throughout the country. The
demand for agricultural laborers
is enormous, owing to the tact
that the farmers, as a rule, es
caped the late financial depres
sum. Their last year's crops
were large, and they have money
in the bank with which to pay
for the garnering of their har
vests. The excess for idleness
and suffering ends, as the har
vest season begins. A move to
the country will be good frr the
working people who go and for
those whom they leave behind.

Decree For Congressman Focht.
At a mooting of thn Board of
Directors of Susquehanna Uni
versity, at Seliusgrove, held
Commencement week, June 12th,
Congressman Benjamin K Focht
was unanimously voted the de
gree of A. M. On June 10th Mr.

the Susquehanna University, and
on the same day was elected

On July 4th Congressman

that the next speech made by
our Congressman should be in
Gregg township, Union County,
the most northerly precinct in
what has been frequently deno
minated ihe "Shoe String" district.
A REVELATION.
It is a revelation to people, the
severe casos of lung trouble that
have been cured by Foley's Hon
ey and Tar. It not only stops
the cough but heals and strength
ens the lungs. L. M. Ruggles,
Reasnor, Iowa, writes: "The
doctors said I had consumption,
and I got no better until 1 took
Foley's Honey and Tar. It stop
ped the hemorrhages and pain in
my lungs and they are now as
sound as a bullet." Trout's drug

A Hint to The Wise.
TheDemocraticConvention will
meet soon at Denver, to nominate
the candidate for President. With
the Republican c andidate already
chosen, the campaign will shortly
begin in earnest.
Naturally, until the curtain fi
nally goes down in November,
things will be humming political
ly; many interesting things will
be done and said; and many inter
esting personalities will appear
on the stage of Greater American
Politics.
It behooves the unbiased news
paper reader, the spectatorof this
stirring political drama, regard
less of his political faith, to have
a complete view of the stage; a
thing that "The Philadelphia Re
cord" enables every reader to
have.
"The Record" is a Democratic
newspaper, and it speaks well for
its independence and reliability
that in a Republican stronghold
it enjoys the confidence of a large
Republican clientele, in addition
to its thousands of Democratic
subscribers.
Reasons for this are not far to
seek. It is due to the excellent
news service iurnished in "The
Record." This year the com
pleteness and reliability of the
campaign news will be fully up
to the mark established in former
presidential years and any regu
lar reader can tell you what that
means.
There may be some doubts as
to the next choice for Presideut,
but there is no question at all that
"The Daily and Sunday Record"
receives the votes as Philadel
phia's favorite newspaper.
Join the crowd!
Harveat.
By the time this paper is
through the press, harvest will be
on in earnest. From present in
dications, the yield of all kinds of
grain will be unusually large at
least there will be a great deal of
straw to handle, and it is believed
that it is tilled well. Hay is
abundant. One year ago, farm
ers were getting ten dollars a
ton for it "out of the field." Now
it it bringing five, and some pur
chasers are getting it for even
loss than that. Corn is scarce,
and farmers that have it, are un
decided as to whether they want
to part with it at $1 50 a barrel.
From present indications, corn
will oe sold for a much lower
price inside of a year. Should
this be the case, the farmers will
have as much money, for the in
creased crop wilt make up for
the lower price.

How Our National Bridget I Prepared.
Congress, holding thn puise
striugs, has determined the na
lioual disbursements for the fis
cal year of 1908 1909. It recent
ly adjourned with a world record
for votiug public money, and the
executive and the administrative
authorities are dutifully certain
to score a new wo.-ld record in
spending the unprecedented to
tal. This annual chapter in budg
ets rea-ls largo in every line. It
was as ambitious in its beginning
as it has been in its ending. The
procedure was begun last Sep
tember, when official by official,
bureau by bureau, department
by department, contributed io
buildiug up the book of estimates,
till it composed 700 broad pages
of federal print. When the Sec
retary of the Treasury, in Decern
ber, dispatched wagon-loads of
those documents to the Capitol,
they constituted formal and ofti.
cial notice that almost $1, 100,000,
000 would be required of Con
gross at that session for the main
tenance of the national Govern
ment. Probably a more valiant
defense of the Treasury was nev
er made, and possibly none was
ever less successful. Designs
upon the national strong-box
multiplied and were supported
by Congressional majorities. The
ten-thousand dollar items grew
into hundred thousand dollar
items. Millions were piled upon
millions, heedless of all watchdog
warnings, until at last the tower
ing total of ten figures, solitary
and alone among the high peaks
of ( lovornment expenditures, was
reached. Treasury officials are
at a loss for descriptions that will
bring the billion-dollar term with
in the average mental grasp. The
sum will require every penny
from customs, internal taxes,
and postal supplies. It will also
drain low the quarter-billion res
ervoir of surplus. It is almost
one-third of all the money in the
land, more thau half the value of
all the cargoes and carloads of an
nual exports, and only $200,000,
000 less than the value of all our
imports.
A billion of money in twenty
dollar yellow ba.-.k would weigh
over seventy tons. Compactly
stacked against the Washington
Monument, they would make
twenty -five sepprate piles, 550
feet high, reaching from the mon
ument's foundation to its very
top. To count a billion silver dol
lars, the best Treasury expert,
working eight hours every busi
ness day, would require a century
and three years more. Where
will all this money go? It was ap
propriated through fourteen
great supply bills, under more or
less arbitrary classifications. The
disbursements, however, may be
roughly grouped in three grand
divisions, as follows:
Postal Service $225,000,000
Military Service 500,000,000
Other government
service 225,000,000

Spender," by Ernest G. Walker,

views for July.
