The vegetables on re-appearing would fill a train three miles in length and the bacon, when placed end to end in slices would stretch along a line four miles long. The re-appearance of five tons of fish and one-fifth of a ton of cheese would surely haunt him while 12,000 eggs, 10,000 pounds of sugar and 1500 pounds of salt would put In their claim.

Six Parlies oa Ballot. Six political parties will be entitled to make nominations at the primary elections this year as the result of the number of votes they polled at the Novem ber election. The law provides that parties polling two percent. of the vote in each of ten counties shall have the right to go on the ballot. The calculations are made on the official returns filed in the office of the Secretary of the Commonwealth. The parties entitled to make nominations and the order in which they will go on the ballot as the result of the votes polled are Republicans, Democratic, Socialist, Prohibition, Washington and Roosevelt Pro gressive. The latter party is a survivor of the campaign of 1912. The Bull Moose, another party dating from 1912 failed to get enough votes to stay on the bal lot. The Republican party, which carried the State in No vember goes to the head of the column again. Sues Neighbor For Slander. Huntingdon, Jan. 30. H. C.

Gilliland further declar ed, it is alleged, that all this was caused by the frequency of Mc Gowan's visits to the Burnt Cab ins hotel. McGowan insists his reputation for sobriety in the community is excellent. Union Meelijjg. The union service held by the different young people's societies of the churches of McConnells burg was held in the Presbyteri an church last Sunday evening Owing to the fact that then was no preaching in any of the other churches, the large audi torium of the church was well filled and the services were pleasing and inspiring. The mu sic by the united choirs of th town was excellent, and it proved what can be done when all gel together. A union preichirg service or ce a month like we used to have, would be very acceptable to th church-going public, and the special music coupled with a special sermon on such an occa sion would go far toward getting the attention of the occasional- and non-goers.

Trout and son William returned to their home at Red Lion, Pa., last Sunday.

Subscribed and sworn to before me this 1st day of Febru ary 1917. M. Ray Shaffner, Notary Public. Woman Showing Her Ability. Among the many things that the great European War is show- ng to the world is, the fact that women are not unimportant fac tors in the successful waging of the great struggle. There are a few men, even in America, when women ask for the privilege of equal suffrage, say "Woman go way back and sit down." But what would become of the coun tries now engaged in war, if wo men who are staying at home while their brothers and hus bands are in the trenches, did not step into the shoes of the men, and keep the wheels of in dustry and progress moving? The Star-Independent, Harris burg, says: "The factthat886,- 000 women are now doing work formerly done by men in Great Britain indicates with what rapid strides the British government is filling the ranks of male workers who have been called to the col ors since the outDreaK or tne European war. A serious con dition confronted the English people when nearly 5,000,000 of their countrymen were necessi tated to take up arms in defense of the country, but the govern ment has greatly minimized the awful inrodes made in the ranks of labor by fostering a scheme which had for its purpose the training of women in the less difficult tredes to learn and also n augmenting lines wherein un- killed working people were much in demand. Government officials are very much pleased over the tremendous interest shown by the women in response to the call for female workers to take the places of men and with the won derful adeptness displayed on the part of tbe woman in fulfilling the positions made vacant by the sterner sex. "In the manufacture of muni- ions the British women are show- ng a degree of skill not previ- lusly thought possible among them, while in many other in- 1 istrios and occupations they are said to be measuring up to the t-.wdard of men, all of which hows that women are just as ca pable as men in performing a k if she be given a chance, e it in art, literature or labor, ir in whatever role she may be called upon to display her knowl edge and strength. It is inter esting to note some of the indus trial lines in which women work ers have succeeded men. For in- tance, who would have thought the former would supplant the utter in the .building trades, m'.nuig and quarrying, as well as $ 74,755.69 237.50 9,365.44 11,530 01 178.014.26 89,751.26 record, 125.301 52 3,789,53 400,851.88 5.321 31 $491,962.72 Geo.

But, nevertheless, that has been the result and it is helping Great Britain to overcome the difficul ties attendant upon a great war. "What will be the outcome of this industrial evolution at the close of hostilities is conjectural. Not all of these women will con tinue doing the work of men when the war ceases, but it is reason ably sure that many of them will retain their positions in conse quence of the high wage-rate they are now commanding. But that will be another problem to solve after the great armies of men in the field return to their homes to again take up peaceful pursuit" Supervisors Held For Court. The supervisors of West PennS' boro township, Cumberland Coun ty, have been held for court on a charge of neglecting to keep the public roads in their township in such condition as is contemplated by the law, and is necessary to meet the requirements of the traveling public. Judge Seibert, of Perry county, has not yet named the punish ment for three township super visors who pleaded guilty to not having properly cared for the roads within . their districts but his intimation has been that it will be meted put with curative purposes. In defense the super visors asserted that they were unable to employ help at the prices which the township was able to pay. Judge Seibert during the trial made the comment that it was the right and duty of supervisors to employ men and teams regard less of cost; that the roads must be kept in safe condition at all times and that if labor cannot be obtained in their own districts, they must go elsewhere, but the work must be done."
