Though apparently it is intend

-who would be shocked at a sign
which appears as a lone sentinel
in a field close to Wormleysburg.
That sign reads: ;
"I having been empowered by
the people to watch this land
from trespassers, do hereby noti
fy all persons to keep off not ac
cording to the law but before the
business end of a repeater or a

BALLOTS TO STATE TERM.
State Officials Rule on Question Af
fecting School Officials.
Ilarrisburg, Pa., Sept. 21:
Candidates for Bchool director
under the school code must be
listed on ballots under the term
for which they wish to serve,
says state officials to whom the
question has been referred many
times in the last few weeks.
It seems that, in a number of
counties of the state, officials in
charge ot ballots got the idea that
all candidates for school director
or member of the school board,
as the place is officially known,
could be lumped. In some coun
ties this was actually done, but
the mistake was discovered in
time.
The state officials hold that the
term is as important as the office
and that, as long as papers bad
to be filed for two, four or one
year term, that fact must bo en
tered on the ballot.
Questions for Farmers to Solve.
Farming is rapidly becoming
more of a science. To insure a
fair return upon the constantly
appreciating value of land the
amount of crop per acre must be
increased and the cost of hauling
it reduced. After the farmer has
solved the question of soil treat
ment and methods of cultivation
there still remains the movement
of the crop over the roads to the
nearest town or railroad station.
This expense the farmer must
meet, and it enters into his cost
of production just as much as
cultivation or harvesting. It is a
branch of expense on which a
greater saving can be mado than
in any other way. According to
government statistics the aver
age cost to haul a ton of farm
produce ouo mile in this couutry
is twenty-five cents. Asimilarser
vice on European highways costs
but eight conts. We have as
good teams as the farmers of
Europe. It is the condition of
the roads that makes the differ
ence. As the farmer uses the
roads more than any other class
of citizens he is entitled to have
them in proper condition to han
dle his business as cheaply and
promptly as possible, and should
see that he gets them by urging
supervisors to adopt more mod
ern methods of road construction
and maintenance that will save
money to the township and to
persons who most, nee the roads.
