On the approach of an enemy the Jewish army was recruited by a conscription made from the tribes under the direction of a mustermaster. by whom also the officers were appointed. The army was divided into thousands and hundreds under their re spective captains (Numbers 81, 20:14; Numbers 2:34; II Chronic les 25:5; 26:12). SALUVIA SUMMARIZINOS. Some very good fields of tirao thy and clover hay were made, and considerable to be made, in this section. Oats are ripening, and bumper crops generally. Threshers are on the go.

The unprecedented travel on the Lincoln Highway is astonish nng. Tnis road is not standing the great travel and it is being damaged badly in some sections.

He and Joseph De shong, his helper, are busy this week dressing the buhrs of his chopper and buckwheat mill. They claim the new grain is not dried out yet and makes very tough grinding. It is mostly grain direct from the shocks that is being ground. The Patterson Brothers, near McConnellsburg, entertained some friends last Monday, by motoring to Green Hill and pic nicking in the grove. The corn crop in this section is mostly looking promising. Ear ing time is here, which is a very critical time for the crop. Hope for good showers in August Somehow, the old prophecy of Mother Shipton, made four-hundred years ago, persists in forc ing itself upon our memory: "While carriages without horses shall go, And ships llko fishes swim beneath the flow; And men outstripping bl: ds can' scale the sky, Then half the world, doep drenched in blood, shall die. Oh, can it be? The fulfilment of this prophecy shall we see? Emory Glunt, John Kelso, Rolla Snyder; Brice and Oscar Alter; Frank Brad nick, Ira Mellbtt, James, Lester, Harry and .
