Residents and business men on Water street, turned out last week and scraped and swept that street from one end of town to the other, and applied fifteen barrels of alphalt road oil to keep down dust. Council supplied the oil. The very big crop of cherries seems to be responsible for the many falls from trees we have to record this year. If apples and nuts should be plenty, we may as well reserve a little space each week for accounts of falls, during the balance, of the summer. On Sunday July 12th, Rev. E. W. McGuire will preach at Cher ry Grove at 10:30 a. m. and at Walnut Grove at 7:30 p. m.f the pastor Rev. W. A. Spies will preach at Saxton on that date.

Barney, Clear- ville, Pa., a veteran of the Civil War, and a veteran preacher in the Christian church will be sev-. enty-five years of age on the 4th of July.

Little Billy Moore (colored) aged about ten years, fell out of a cherry tree at John Shaffer's place near town, Monday, and cut a slit about three inches long on the top of his head.

Somewhere in Holy writ we read, "The devils believe and tremble." If the stories we hear from Hagerstown are true, how the liquor newspaper of that town is trying to belittle Dr. Biederwolf, believe us that there is some trembling among the li quor dealers there over the ex pected coming of that famous evangelist. Garfield Gibson, of Harrisburg, made his seventy-fifth trip to the Harrisburg hospital last week. This time it was for three burnt fingers, received while working at Steelton Iron Works. He has been taken to that institution for every ailment and accident to which man is heir, except those peculiar to married men only, for he. was never married, For Yellow Leaves. A doctor in the western part of Pennsylvania who has a few trees that he prizes, observed some of the loaves turning yellow and wrote to State Zoologist Sur face, Harrisburg, as follows: "I have some peach trees that I have been giving unusually good caro, but a great many of the leaves are turning yellow and falling to the ground. Can you offer any remedy? I have had them sprayed and -dug around the roots and every possible thing done to keep them healthy." To this Professor Surface re plied as follows: "There are several causes of the leaves of your peach trees turning yellow and falling at this time of year, the chief of which may be lack of moisture. I ad vise abundant watering of tree3 with water containing a teaspoon ful of nitrate of soda for each gallon of water. Watch closely for masses of gum at the surface of the ground with sawdust-like particles in the gum. If these are present th? trees have borers and these should be removed with a knife, but avoid cutting across the grain of the wood as much as possible. A lengthwise cut will not be so bad." "The top of a tree may be very dense r.nd really have too much foliage, and a great amount of moisture is now naturally need ed. Thus a pruning to open it out and give it more ventilation will be helpful. It may have been injured by winter freezing. If so, the best thing to do is to stimulate its growth by nitrogen fertilizers, water, and cultivation to keep it in good condition un til it outgrows the injury. It may be possible that there are scale insects on it. Wash the trunks and larger branches with a brush dipped in strong soap so lution, and if such pests are pres ent spray when dormant with the boiled lime-sulfur solution. Woman Buried in Sand. Gettysburg, June 2G M r s. Samuel Robinson of near Round Top, was buried beneath several tons of sand yesterday and died shortly after she was dug out. Mrs. Robinson had gone to the sand quarry, of which her hus band is owner. She engaged in screening sand when the cave-in occurred which buried her be neath it. Paul Cluck, 13-year-old boy, who was playing nearby heard the thud of falling sand and notified John Emory and Frank Rosensteel, who were load ing hay in the nearby field. They hurried to the scene of the acci dent and after digging for a few minutes came upon the body of the unfortunate woman. She was still breathing, but died a few minutes later, without re gaining consciousness. Her hus band was engaged at work on the State Highway between Get tysburg and New Oxford, at the time, but was unable to reach her before she died. She is survived by her hus band, one son and one daughter. Let Him Die. The first hunger striker, to te "let die" is not, after all, a Bri tish militant, but a man in Mis sissippi. Sentenced to tett years' imprisonment, he began a hun ger strike in the county jail at Holly Springs, 15 days ago. There is no mention of any par ticular effort being made to coax him to cat. Presumably his ra tions were placed before him to take or leave as he preferred. No one seems to have bothered about focible feeding. Instead there appears to have been a tac it agreement that if he wanted to starve himself to death rather than serve ten years in the peni tentiary it would be his funeral. And so it turned out. He suc cumbed to his self-imposed priva tion yesterday. Six Slates Vote. Arizona, California, Colorado, Oregon, Virginia and Washing ton vote on state, wide prohibi tion.

CURIOUS BITS OF HISTORY By A. W. MACY. ANOTHER STRENUOUS" ROOSEVELT. Other Roosevelt besides The odore have been noted forstren uousness. Nicholas J. Roose velt was one of them. He flour ished In the early years of the nineteenth century, and may be called the father of steam navi gation In the west. In 1811 he made a voyage on a flatboat from Pittsburg to New Orleans, to ascertain whether steam could be used as a motive pow er on the Ohio and Mississippi. Everybody discouraged the idea, but on his return, with the aid of Fulton and Stevenson he built a steamboat to try It out. The boat was called the "New Orleans," and cost about $33, 000. With his wife and a small crew he embarked at Pittsburg amid the plaudits of thousands. People said it was all right go ing down,' but the boat could never be made to go up the river. At Cincinnati he took some people aboard for a little ride, and scared them nearly to death by letting the boat cirift toward the Falls of the Ohio. Suddenly reversing the engine, he took the boat up stream three or four miles, to their great, relief and delight. The voyage was a great success, and the forerunner of many more. (CopyrlK'lil.

HULL & BENDER. Copper in Pennsylvania. According to II. D. McCaskey, of the United States Geological Survey, no production of gold, silver, lead, or zinc has been re ported from the mines of Pennsyl vania for many years, but there has been annually a production of copper yielding small quanti ties of the precious metals in re fining. There are copper pros pects in Adams and Franklin counties, but the greater part of the output has been obtained from copper ores separated from magnetic ores of the Cornwall iron mine, in Lebanon County. The production of copper in Pennsylvania in 1913 amounted to 503,792 pounds, valued at $78,088, compared with 473,000 pounds, valued at $78,055, in 1912. Teachers Wanted.
