Protracted services at Side ling Hill Christian church since the 17th, conducted by Rev. Tbos. P. Garland assisted by Rev. A. G. B. Powers. The ut most capacity of the church has been taxed to accommodate the crowds that attended nightly. May there be a great outpouring of God's spirit on the services. We undorstand that there has been a great number of profess ed conversions during the three week's protracted services at Siloam M. E. church conducted by Rev. E. R. Crott We hope that the groat crowds in attend ance will sincerely repent of their sins. God commands all men everywhere to repent Do you know that Licking Creek Valley as well as the town ship, gets its name from the stream which arises in the Nar rows at the northern end ot Big Cove, flows southwest through a gap in ScrubRidge, nearKnobs ville, thence southward through said valley and empties into tbe Potomac river? Like the Con ococbeague, Conodcgumet.Augh wick, Juniata, and other streams in Pennsylvania, so too, the In dian named tbe stream "Leakin' Creek" by reason of the bed of that stream in some places being composed ot shales and sand to a considerable depth, so that dur ing seasons of drought, the wa ter leaks away, sinks, and the bed becomes dry. So the Indi ans called it Leakin' Creek. The writer well remembers when the grandmothers and the grand fathers and other old people in speaking of tbe stream, called it "Leakin' Creek", instead of Licking Creek as now called. The early history of this valley and its early settlement is re markably interesting. Subscribe tor the only $1.00 a year. 'News" HOW FAR IS GREENCASTLE?

Harry Irwin writes from the British Isles that business there is moving in almost normal con ditions. He is securing fair or ders for his firm, the Landis Tool Company at Waynesboro. Outside of the quiet movement of troops to or from the scene of battle on the continent, no one would suspect that the British Empire is engaged in a life or death struggle with Germany. Harry hopes that he will soon be able to return to his regular routes in Germany; but until that becomes possible he will remain where he is. How War Spies Work. The February number of Pop ular Mechanics contains a long article on "The Spy and How he Works. " We print below one in stance given by that magazine of how a German spy in England frustrated the purposes of an English fleet to destroy a German squadron. Other instances could be cited, but this one ia unique. "During a heated argument in an alehouse, an English sailor, championing the prowess of his navy, declared that he knew posi tively that dreadnaughts, crui sers, and torpedo boats were at that moment pushing ahead un der full steam to surprise the Germans boats. Shortly after ward the bar was closed for the night, and one of the group, who had precipitated the argument, mounted a bicycle, which had a brilliant headlight, and struck down a road leading along the coast. After a time he jumped from the cycle, released the air from the front tire and then set abouttomend a 'puncture.' In doing this he repeatedly passed in front of the lamp, crossing the patch of light now for just an in stant, now deliberately stopping in front of it. Presently he in flated the tire and pedaled back to the city. When the British battleships arrived at the scene of the intended raid, the Ger mans were not there. The bicy clist was a German spy. His message, flashed in dots and dashes, had been seen through the periscope of a man submarine." waiting Ger- Iron by New Process. Iron tubes, plates, &c, now be made directly from old kind of iron ores. The cess is almost identical with can any of electro plating. To make tubes, a wooden core covered with sheet lead is placed in an acid bath, the positive pole of an electric battery connected with the ore, and the opposite Littery attached to the prepared core. Iron is then quickly deposited ov er the surface of the wood-lead core .and when sufficient thick ness is attained, the tube, pipe, plate, or whatever the article made, is then heated to burn out the wood and melt the lead. It is claimed that articles can be made cheaper in this way, and of purer iron, than by the old process of first smelting the ores, remelting and casting or by rolling. Boy Scoots. " A large troupe of boy scouts has been organized among the Indian boys at Carlisle. Know ing the characteristics of the half breed and full-blood Indians, we predict that they will make good scouts. Indians have a native sense of honor that, when prop erly directed under Christian in fluence, leads to manliness. On the other hand, strange as it may seem, this trait, when misguid ed, makes the "Bad Indian" of which we have heard so much. Since thinking over the matter, we are led to believe that the foregoing is true of white boys. Doubtless this explains our hav ing such a variety of "charac ters" in a given community. e. t.
