When their automobile turned and rolled down an Allegheny mountain embankment near Hag erstown, Arthur Summers, Pitts burgh, and his father, Frederick were injured, one of the latter's shoulders being dislocated. An automobile load of Cham bersburgers were arrested and fined $5 and costs in Hagerstown Monday because they drove their car around and ahead of another coining from the base ball park. It seems there is an ironclad rule against so doing in Hagerstown. The practice of firing air guns and target rifles within the bor ough limits is an every-day occur rence, and it is no uncommon thing to hear a spent ball whiz zing past your ear. After some child, or older person has lost an eye, or has otherwise been serious ly injured, the ordinance against such practice will be enforced. Skilled teachers wer? never so "iuch in demand as they are now More than two thirds of the grad- lating class of the Shippensburg S'ormal School were elected to positions before they were grad uated. Boards of Directors re cognize the value of efficiently trained teachers. The Fall Term which opens September 6 is the best time to begin work at the Normal. Do Not Give Them Money. Just because our foreign mis sionaries sent a few converted and educated natives of Asiatic countries to America to go out among our people to tell us at first hands of the needs of the Gospel, and of the need of money to carry on the work, an army of lazy loafers from those countries have invaded America to beg for themselves. For months the church papers have been warning us to pay no attention to the lat ter class. When a genuine rep resentative of charitable work is sent among us, he is either ac companied by one of our mission aries, or, he carries credentials from our church courts about which there i3 not the shadow of a doubt As an illustration of the fraudulent class, a strapping big, ablebodied man passed west ward over Lincoln Highway last week, carrying a very greasy printed recommendation from some foreigner with an outland ish name that no one could pro nounce. The paper stated that the bearer was a "Christian" and that we should give him money for his orphan children who were caught in the European war zone. Many people gave him quarters and half dollars to get rid of him, and we have no doubt that he collects many dollars during a day's walk through the farms of our hard working people. Friends you can help our missionary cause by setting the dogs and the con stable after such frauds it hurts the cause of Christianity for you to encourage these blasphemous men. We say blasphemous be cause they will offer to preach from your pulpits, and some of them can deceive the very Elect. Farm Notes. To get the best paying results from clover as a soil builder, it should remain on the ground two years, until the root system is fully developed, then plough down. A few weeks ago we gave a handful of soybeans to each of three farmers. Reports from all three show that some of the beans grew. In two instances crusts formed before germination and wa3 not discovered in time to remove it and consequently only a few of the tender plants came up. On the third farm the crust was carefully watched and removed and the farmer has a fine stand of beans. We think that this is worth repeating for the benefit of those who may care to plant soybeans next year. Soybeans are too tender to force their way through a crust that would not afTect other varieties, or that would not prevent corn from coming up. There is no man in Licking Creek township more highly re spected for his thrift than "Bil ly" Bair. Shortly after his mar riage, he went into debt for twenty acres of land. He went further into debt for lime. He farmed eighteen acres of it well, he has a splendid home paid for, and to-day he will tell you that if he could induce some neigh bor to sell him twenty acres more just enough to keep him busy he would not care who had three-hundred-acre farms. This is another proof of our contention that small farms well managed pay best where labor is the de termining factor of success. Are After Grocers. According to a letter from the State Food Bureau too long to publish in these columns so much dirty breakfast food is on the market that consumers have complained and the Bureau is going to make a store-to-store canvass of the country to remedy conditions, The complaint is that breakfast foods are permit ed to become wormy, full of bugs, and otherwise unfit for food. The letter ends with the follow ing statement: "If the retailers, aided by ju dicious co-operation of manufac turers and jobbers to remedy ex isting conditions, do not get rid of this evil it is possible that the people may feel it necessary to adopt a remedy proposed in other states against the sale of stale stock of perishable goods such as these cereal preparations, namely, that of requiring that the pack age shall bear a stamp indicating the date of manufacture of the goods. "The Commissioner earnestly hopes that the retailers of the State will examine their own stocks and protect their own cus tomers before the Food Agents reach their stores, and by so do ing avoid trouble of a more seri' ous character for themselves." Are Dynamiting Fish. A member of the State Police force has been taking evidence in Franklin county against parties who used dynamite to kill fish in one of the streams. It is to be hoped that the criminals will be brought to justice. A stick of dynamite exploded in a stream kills every little fish in the pool. The man who will kill fifty to one hundred small trout or bass for the sake of obtaining two or three larger ones deserves the utmost contempt of all fishermen, and he should be made to know his place. It is not the few good fish he takes that constitutes the outrage, but it is the innumerable small ones killed that ia exasper ating to law abiding citizens. Little's Millinery. Millinery Reductions.

To have good music you must have a good instrument. There are good bad and mdifferent instru ments, and to the unskilled eye they look much alike. The unprincipled dealer is likely to make you pay a first-class price for a fourth-class instrument. I have lived in this county since my birth, I am a taxpayer and in a position to make good any business transactions. Buy your piano, organ, or victrola trom me and if it is not all right you can come back at me. There are families in every part of , this county that have purchased instruments from me. Ask them about me. Perhaps you want to trade your organ for a Piano, or Player Piano; or your Plain Piano, for a Player. See me. Let's talk it over., .L. W. FUNK.
