The Dramatic Prophecy Womanhood" was the subject of a recent address by Thomas Bar ney Thompson, before the Col lege endowment Association in T-1 1 ... Milwaukee. He told how the mother buys her child's garments with an eye of remodelling them for a younger one, how she turns the roast of today's dinner into the hash of tomorrow's luncheon and how the undesirable portions of the fowl appear at a later mea! as delicious croquettes, while hair ribbons and neckties that have served their purpose reappear as quilts. He maintained that the government will never make the most of its resources until wo man becomes a voter, and that her social ingenuity and her hu manity are badly needed in the work of the world today. Must Drag Roads. If we understand the regula tions covering the working of dirt roads, under the supervision of the State, the roads are to be dragged after every rain during the summer months. It is to be done by the local supervisors, and each township is required to fur nisn sumcient drags to accom plish this end. The split-log drag is the best dirt road machine yet invented; but we are not told how a few men can drag all of the dirt roads in the County af ter every rain, because the work must be done at just the right moment when the road material is neither too wet nor too dry. .QRACEV.

Miss Nettie Knauff is visiting riends in Baltimore. Rural Credits. Now that Congress and the daily papers are giving much time and space to the considera tion of rural credit system, wejsnip trust that no hasty laws will be passed, giving occasion for regret later. Much as we dislike to ac knowledge it, too many selfish ly disposed men are ever on the alert to fatten on public funds. Some of the bills already intro duced, such as those making it easy for land owners to borrow, on long time, sixty per cent of the value of their farms, at 3 or 4 per cent,, leave the gate wide open for millionairs to borrow it Now, while these men may own good farms, and are entitled to consideration for their share in the production of food, the orig inator of the idea of help for the average farmer to keep his boys on the farm and develop agri culture, is not that. Further more, many farmers are express ing disgust at the idea of singling them out as semi-charity objects, and demand that they be put on ly on equal footing with other business men when it conies to getting money on long time, from Uncle Sam's banks. Seems "Gay and Happy Still." B. F. Patterson, the man who wanted to build us a trolley line between here and Hancook, last summer, and who afterwards promoted the Shippensburg Newburg trolley scheme, only to vamose when he found detectives on his trail, seems gay and happy still as evidenced by the following clipping from an exchange. "WestChester, Pa., Jan. 22. The police are looking for "Frank Patterson," who was going to build a trolley road between Ox ford and Parkesburg, and has passed worthless checks upon business men in this place, Down ingtown, Parkesburg, Coates- ville and other towns in this vi cinity. Love Insnrance. One of the most grotesque and astonishing plots ever written is that of "Love Insurance," a nov el by Earl Derr Biggers, which begins in next Sunday's Phila delphia Press. Mr. Biggers wil be remembered by everybody as the author of the "Seven Keys to Baldpate," published in The 'ress a year ago and later drama tized by Geo. M. Cohan. From a startling unique idea the story swings ever onward, always with added interest until you involuntarily catch your ireath from imagined effort. It is one of the most vividly written stories of the new school. Read he opening chapters in next Sunday's Philadelphia Press. This Cow a Good Demonstrator. The monetary value of a good cow is practically demonstrated in the report concerning one own ed by Calvin Baker, near Ship pensburg. When Mr. Baker held a sale last spring, a cow which was bid up to $90 was reserved. his cow now gives from 38 to 0 pounds' of milk daily and was purchased, when yet a heifer dur ngasale held by Mr. Kann. Mr. Baker sold a Holstein calf from this cow to Mr. Ed Booze ast week, which was 5 weeks old and tipped the scales at 227 pounds. Mr. Baker has sold many calves, but this one holds Peo- the heavy weight record, pies Register.

Abraham Wagner, the subject, of this memorial, was born and reared on the farm in Tod town now owned by Howard Weld. After the death of Lis father, John Wagner, he took charge of the fai in and continued the farming until he sold to How ard Weld a few years ago, and moved into Knobsville, where he died January 24, 1914, aged 70 years, 10 months, and 7 days. In early life, Mr. Wagner gave his heart to God, and devoted li.'e and energies to the service of the Master, living a consistent member of the Reformed church until death severd bis union with the Church Militant only to unite him with the Church Triumphant With Christlike spirit, his life among his fellows was guided by the golden rule, nor was bia ear deaf, nor his band slack when the orphan and the needy knocked at his door. Ue lived a life of hu mility, always striving to follow the footsteps of the great teach er. In his home he was a kind and loving husband, a fond and iudulgent father, a strict discip linarian, and in fulfilment of his church vows, brought up his children in the nature and ad mo nition of the Lord until be saw them all safely within tho iold of the Church Militant While the subjpet of this sketch never aspired to political honors, he never failed to take an active interest In the selection of men who would stand for the uplift of humanity when placed in offices of public trust; and having lived to a ripe old age, he could look i back over a life well spent The writer of this memorial, having tieen with him very oftn during his last days here, found htm with the same calm, unwav ering faith that the Master doeth all things well and for our best Interests. The fear of death had lost its sting, and calmly reposing in the Savior's promises, be closed his eyes on the morning of January 24, 1914, and went down into the Valley of the Shadow of Death. He was laid to rest by the side ot his life companion, in the M Hi cemetery at Knoosvuie, on Monday, January 20, 1914, fol lowed by a large concourse of sorrowing friends and neighbors who bore testimony to his worth and the esteem in which he was held, services being conducted by Rev. J. L. Yeanck, of the Re rormed Church of McConnells burg. G. KMOVtSAU DESIRt FOR DRINK ,4246 Fifth AvlPittsburch. ich.Pa. 1 HAVE IT REPAIRED !
