Some leading citizens of Clearfield

employment of a farm agent.
The Mormons are planning to

Orders were drawn last week at
Uniontown on the county treasurer
for $119 fo mothers pensions in Fay-
ette county. Eighteen women were
paid amounts ranging from $4 to $9.
Th same amount was paid out of the
county treasury on June 4 for moth-
ers’ pensions for May.
After a sixteen-heur session, the
coroner's jury in the matter of the
death of Roy Mellott, of Gapsville in
Bedford County, who was instantly
killed near Everett Tuesday after-
noon, returned a verdict of death by
unavoidable accident and the young
men who were driving the car, James
Porter, of Easton, and John Vilsack,
of Pittsburg, were released.
Announcment has been made that
the state has authorized the oiling
of various highways, in Fayette
county. Work began last week on
the oiling of the Connellsville road
leading out of Uniontown. The mater-
jal to be used is explosive and for
that reason warnings have been issu-
ed to employees not to use matches
or fire when applying it.
THE LAST OF FIRE BALLOONS.
The Fourth of July this year will be
the last Independence Day on which
it will be lawful to send up balloons
containing fire. The practice of send-
ing up paper balloons for the edifica-
tion of children and the public in gen-
eral is to be stopped after the first of
January 1916. A law to this effect
was enacted by the recent legisature
andsigned by the Governor.
Th law reads: “On and after the
first day of January, 1916, it shall be
unlawful to sell or expose for sale,
or buy, or exchange, or give away or
have in possession, any balloon made
or intended to contain fire for the pur-
opse of ascension, or send up or cause
to ascend, any balloon containing in
or about it apy fire. This section does
not apply to a balloon in which a hu-
"man being ascends.”
Violation of the act is punishable
by a fine not to exceed $200, or an im-
prisonment not exceeding 60 days or
both.
SHERIFF'S BILLS TO
BE CUT DOWN.
The sheriffs of Blair, Indiana,
Somerset, Clearfield and other coun-
ties of that size will find their re:
ceipte cut down materially as the
result of the signing of a feereduc-
ing bill signed by Gov, Brumbaugh.
The new bill provides that when
a sheriff transfers prisoners from
jail to the penetentiary he shall re-
ceive ten cents a mile to and from
the penetentiary whether he take
one prisoner or ten prisoners. Here-
tofore he was allowed ten cents per
mile for each prisoner taken, as
his own pay.

ONE VERY SILENT FOURTH.
No starry banner was unfurled;
No patriots whooped a cheer;
No bells rang out to tell the world
The glorious Fourth was here.
No grand parades marched up and down
The starry spangled ways,
To stand for liberty and crown
The day of all our days.
No popping crackers raised a din
From Oregon to Maine;
No reckless little boys got in
The list of maimed and slain.
