The game laws published by the News last week were copied from the cloth posters sent out by the Commission; so they should, be correct. They differ from what every newspaper we have seen has printed this fall. Near ly every paper said 3 quail was the limit for one day. The daily limit is 8, and 2 turkeys is the limit for a season, instead of one as others printed. Cut them out and keep them in your hunting coat;' but don't go hunting, yet. Why Editors are Bald.

Among the writings of George Fitch, humorist, journalist, etc., is the following: "Getting mad consists of cutting out the muff ler and taking the hands off the steering wheel mentally. When a man gets mad he stops think ing with hi3 brain and turns the job over to his fists and lungs. Then he produces a mess of ideas as a child produces art with a pail of red paint." Auto Trip. Saturday morning, August28th E. R. Hendershot at the wheel of his Buick, with John F. Deshong, Joseph M. Deshong, John G. E. Deshi,ng and L. I. "Deshong, left Harrison ville at 5 a. m., for Johnstown, Pa., to attend the Conner-Ribblet Reunion, which was held that day at Island Park, Johnstown. Notwithstanding the rain, every thing went smoothly till Stoystown was reached and having to. leave the Lincoln High way at that point for an 18 mile drive over a dirt road, it still went smoother (but sideways); but after very slow careful driv ing, which Ed can do, we reached Johnstown at 10:30 a. m., and after partaking of a sumptous dinner at the hospitable home of C. B. Hockensmith, we took the street car and went to the Re union where we met a host of our friends from Cambria, Blair, Westmoreland, and Indiana coun ties. After mingling with our friends and listening to good recitations, addresses, and some grand music on the piano, a busi ness meeting was called for the purpose of electing officers for the next year's reunion to be held at the same place on the 2nd Sat urday of August 191G. After a little consultation it was unani mously voted to include the De shongs in the next reunion which will be the Conner, Ribblet and Deshong Reunion. Now, there is quite a large number of the Deshongs and their connections in Fulton county, that would be included in this reunion, and we want them to consider this and next year we want a good repre sentation there from Fulton coun ty. Any one wanting informa tion will call on or write L. I. Deshong, Hanisonville, Pa. I am getting away from our trip. Shortly alter the business meet ing, supper was announced, and oh, my, the way those tables did groan under the load of good things! But then there was worse groaning after supper. In every corner could be heard the doleful sound "I ate too much! ' After supper, we went to take in the sights of the City as three of our boys had .never been in Johnstown before. After a stroll over some of the' principal parts of the City and through one of the large department stores we separated for the night to the following homes of our good friends: Joseph Deshong to Wesley Lefller's; John G. E. Deshong to Joseph T. Ribblet's; E. R. Hendershot, John F. De shong and myself to C. B. Hock ensmith's; Sunday morning we met six of our good friends at City Park, went up the Incline to Westmont and thence to Grand view Cemetery where the un known dead of that terrible flood are interred; from there to Joseph T. Ribblet's where a sumptuous dinner awaited us, then from there to C. B. Hockensmith's and at 3 p. m. left by way of Jen nerstown for home, stopping a short time in! Stoystown to see my niece, Mrs. Earl Stern (nee Viola Hockensmith) then after a short stop in both Bedford and Everett we arrived at Har rison ville at 8 p. m. without even a puncture. L. I. Deshong. In Pennsylvania There is no section of America to-day that is so prosperous as is Pennsylvania. Thousands are being employed and some of the world's greatest industrials plants are operating twenty-four hours per day. A stable government and a calm, peaceful and "kindly people all combine to make it a privilege to live in Pennsylvania. Philadelphia is the most genu inely American of cities. It is rich in all the arts of civilization. The Industrial Section of The Sunday Philadelphia "Press" is something new in American journalism. Read about Penn sylvania in "The Press" every Sunday.

U. who have not paid their dues for the year 1915, will kindly do so before Septem ber 15th, either to Jessie Sloan, Treas., or to Meta Fryman, Sec. The Girl Who Bites Her Nails. Her eyes are of a purple hue; Her nose is tilted saucily; I think she beads her lashes, too; Her hair is fixed so flossily Her charm in only one thing fails The little girl who bites her nails. 'Tis but the flaw that goes to make Her beauty the more ravishing, Lest all the charms by some mistake The gods on her were lavishing, Who in her fairness Venus pales The little girl who bites her nails. For, were perfection there displayed, She'd be too fair to look upon A goddess not for men's eyes made For bards to write a book upon; The human touch one's heart assails The little girl who bites her nails. That County Agent. Are farmers the delightfully independent citizens they, per haps, once were? In olden times, when the home markets consum ed their products when even the cloth to make clothing was made or. the farm this was, to a de gree, true. But all things change Life on the farm i3 not like it was then. In those days, nearly every article needed on the farm Wid made within a few miles of where it was to be usd. Guns, citlery, furniture, implements, eIjO's, clothing, wagons, buggies cheese, quill pens, carpets, and even our iron, were made near home. Nothing like that exists tD-day. For our grand-mothers to have bought their bread would have been considered almost a sin. Nov we buy not only bread but nearly everything. Is is per haps, best so; but the new order of things has upset all fixed iclees of country life. If your wife bakes she uses Minnesota flour for her light bread, while your wheat is going to southern states to make hot biscuit for which southern Pennsylvania wheat is better adapted and in great de mand. The cry of ' 'Raise Things is all right; but how about "Sell ing Things?" The individual farmer can no longer market his own products. The much malign ed middleman rew up out of this condition. How to market more economically is engaging the best thought of our wisest Congressmen and Agriculturists. Little progress has been made because of the multitude of indi viduals to be reached. The Coun ty Agent idea has been tried and found to be the only practical way to handle people by whole saleso to speak. It costs so little that when once understood we wonder why we have strug gled so long without him. One man, under the supervision of Penn State, handles the job for a county. Huntingdon county is organizing. Why should we let her beat us to the use of State Treasury funds freely offered for the solution of the vexed problem of re-adjusting human relations? A Suffragette Radish. Jeweller D. R. Ramsey sent to this office last week a radish that was at once recognized by sever al ladies as a genuine proof that Nature upholds Woman Suffrage. The vegetable is in the form of a pretty rope made of two strands each, as thick as your thumb, and while each .strand retains its in dividuality, together, they make a unit, strong and with no visi ble signs of superiority. Men, we may as well throw up our hand3 since our very gardens are turning our labor into ammunition for the women. Congress and Parade.
