Amos W. Bauman, who solicits the

voters for the office of Sheriff at the
September Primary was born at Berk-
ley’s Mills, near this place; reared
on a farm in Northampton township,
being a son of Wm. Bauman; enter-
ed the profession of teaching at the
age of 15; after teaching for a num-
ber of terms in the schools of the
county, the last as principal of the
Garrett schools, he entered the ser-
vice of the B. & O. R. R. Co. as agent
and operator and continued at that
work for a period of 23 years, the
last fourteen years of that time be-
ing at Somerset, quitting there in
1903. Since hen he has conducted
a bakery and restaurant opposite the
depot in Somerset. He also conducted
a bakery in Meyersdale under the
firm name of A. W. Bauman & Son
until some time since, he turned the
business over to his son, Harry who
who is now conducting it in his own
name.
Mr. Bauman is a man of wide busi-
ness experience; he has a warm feel-
in for his old home town, Meyers-
dale and for the surrounding commu-
nity, where he feels he should re-
ceive a strong vote. He has a wide |
acquaintance all over the county and |
there are many warm friends who are
pushing his candidacy. If elected to
the position he will give his entire
time to the duties of his office. Mr.
Bauman is a staunch Republican.

If you believe in supporting a set
of parasites because they are a little
more cunning than you, don’t vote
for Socialism. If you believe all
things that human intelligence has
discovered of value, should be used
for the uplift of humanity and not
for enriching a few people thereby
then vote the Socialistic ticket.
The capitalists believe the govern-
ment should give them a square deal
in plucking the rest of humanity.
Their quarrels bring nations into
war.
Under a capitalist form of govern-
ment, law is largely a rule among
thieves. H. G. L.

REPORT SAYS THERE WILL
BE SMALL FRUIT CROP HERE
Apples, pear and quince crops of |
only 50 per cent of the average may
be expected in the southern half of
Pennsylvania, this gear and next.
Draw a line through the center of the
State, paralleling Mason and Dixon's
Line, and you have the stricken ter-
ritory. :
Pear blight, or fire blight, is the
cause. It gets one name, because the
pear tree is the easiest victim; it get
the other because the trees, upon at-
tack, take on the appearance of the
leaves having been fire-scorched to
a dark brown or black hue.
Reports at Harrisburg indicate that
the trouble is fully as bad as at first
believed, State Zoologist Surface says
only remedy is to cut out the disease
no matter how much of the tree has
been removed; then burn the cut-
tings. Prof. Surface believes that 75
per cent of all the pome fruit trees in
the southern half of the state are af-
fected.

SOMERSET COUNTY—
In submit-
ting the foregoing announcement, it
may seem superfluous to state that
I was a candidate for the office of
Prothonotary four years ago, with-
but with a record “Al-
ways Republican.” I accepted the sit-
uation gracefully, congratulated my |
successful competitor, Mr. Heiple,
and gave him loyal support, together
with the whole Republican ticket.
Now then, it may not be out of place
to recite a few facts namely that I
was born on a farm in Southampton |
