Mr. George Waoier, who was coming from his home at Knobs ville, said it came across Scrub Ridge just south of Knobsville and left the Cove opposite Henry Barmont's farm 21 miles north of McConnellsburg. It was seen by a number of McConnellsburg res idents. It was a naval airship and was made at Akron, O. When the news of the German U-boat raid was announced, or ders were given for the airship to start for the coast, and Lieu tenants Lansdowne and Corbett were placed in charge and the start from Akron was made at midnight Tuesday morning. Fine progress was made until they reached Franklin County, when they found " that a faulty valve was allowing the hydrogen to escape from the big silken bag, and which was 200 feet in length, the men began to look for a soft place to alight. This they found in a cornfield just out of Hagers town and made the landing with out accident. The big army bal loon was propelled by a six-cylinder Royce engine and there were seats for three persons in the basket, which was made of Jalu minum. ' Statemsit. As I understand the wool situa tion, a local buyer must have a permit. He pays the grower 65 cents a pound. He must keep a record of his sales. For his trouble he gets H cent a pound after shrinkage freight and com mission is paid. The Govern ment price at the Factory is 72 cents. If there is anything left of the 7 cents the price between 65 and 72 it is returned to the farmer or producer. Wool must be dry and in good merchantable condition. Rejects 5 cents less. Peter Morton. Presbyterian and Reformed Churches, Rev. William J. Lowe, Minister.' Sunday, June 9th. Sunday schools meet at 9:30 a. m. Morning service in Presbyterian church at 10:30 a. m. Christian Endeavor at 6:30, and Evening pervice at 7:30 in the Reformed Church. The evening service will be a Preparatory Service for the Holy Communion which will be administered on Sunday morn- , ing June 16th in the Reformed Churcn, Business nnd the Outlook. Mr. Jay, governor of the Fed eral Reserve Bank of New York, notes that a wave of economy ih sleeping over the country, and department stores and retailors report good business in medium priced furniture, kitchen ware, cotton piece goods, ready-made garments, hosiery and knit un derwear, gloves, milinery, hand kerchiefs, notions, ribbons, food and tobacco, but a decrease in the more expensive articles and in luxuries. Bank clearings last week were a little less than the week before, and a little more than a year ago, but as prices have advanced there may have been a decrease in the amount of goods disposed of. Large pur chases by the Government and payment for Liberty Bonds may have swelled the clearings. But a leading jobbing house in the Northwest reports an increase in the distribution of wholesale dry goods for the week over last year. "Road sales for future de livery as well as local sales are ahead of those for the same peri od last year. Collections are very satisfactory, showing a consider able increse over those of the same week a year ago. " To this indication of good business con ditions may be added the state ment of Dun's Review that "the May insolvency returns disclose the smallest number of commer cial reverses for the month in fully a decade." The number of shares sold on the New York Stock Exchange last month was greater than in any month since the end of 1916, and the par value of bonds sold was greater than that in any month for a longer period. Last week there was a good deal of irregularity; some displays of strength and some occasions of depression occurred. There were average declines for the week. Railway earnings invApril show ed a considerable improvement. Call loans in New York ranged between 45 and 6 per cent Pay ment of the 20 per cent, install ment on the Third Liberty Loan was without effect on the senti ment of the market or the rates of interest. Railway gross earn ings for the third week of May, reported by 18 companies, indi cate an increase of 5.67 per cent, over last year. The crop outlook continues to be most encouraging in this coun try, and it is favorable in the countries of our allies. It is calculated in Pittsburgh toat the increased freight hates to go into effect on the 25th will add $1.25 a ton to the cost of making pig iron, and $2 a ton to finished rolled steel. Nearly all the steel output is now taken by the Government, and steel rolled for private customers is stacked in Pittsburgh because Govern ment orders have priority of shipment. Nearly all the fur naces east of Chicago are in blast Mills making shell steel, as the majority are, have generally abandoned the practice of selling discards, either as such, or rolled into merchantable forms.. All the mills are buying much mote scrap direct than they did before prices were set. Demands on the pipe mills are very heavy, and a large tonnage of line pipe is being produced. Speculation in cotton futures has not been active, but prices have advanced. At the end of the week, however, the market was weak and unsettled, and July deliveries broke 61 points on Saturday. Conditions in the Philadelphia wool market were unchanged for the week. In Boston manufacturers are anxi ous to get wool, especially the medium grades needed for Gov ernment work. The cotton goods market in Fall River was steady, with a fair demand, and manufacturers rather slow to sell. Staple cottons in New York for ordinary account were quiet with prices firmly maintained and less selling by second hands Prices paid by the Government are well below those quoted for civilian account. Production of fine bleached goods is 50 per cent, of what it was a year ago. In men's wear , woolens and worsteds business has been more active, and dress goods are quiet The boot and shoe factories are rushed with orders for the Gov ernment. Wheat continues firm, with small supplies. . Argentina has a surplus of 148,000,000 bushels, including 26,000,000 already shipped: Canadian prospects are good. Corn has been irreg ular, easing of tho latter part of the week. Lird in lower for the wcvk.
