Trappers will have to be con tent with lower prices on furs this season, owing to the Euro pean war. The bulk of Ameri can raw furs is sent to Europe, and the average European needs his money for something more substantial than ornamental furs The Hagerstown and Mercers- burg Trolley Company that has been busy building a trolley con necting those two cities for quite a long time, is at tracting public attention again and reviving the hopes of those interested by re cently having had printed a nice lot of letter heads and envelopes.

While farmers of the United States are deploring the shortage of potash salts, Germany is equal ly anxious about her supply of nitrogen-bearing materials. Ger many practically controls the world's supply of potash, and South America supplies the bulk of the nitrogen.
