NEARBY COUNTIES.
The Rev. John S. Hershberger of
Everett, has been appointed by Gov-
Brumbaugh as associate judge of
Bedford county. The Rev. Hershhsr-
ger is a retired merchant.
After . suffering nearly half a cen-
tury from headaches, Fred Seibert
of Dawson has been cured.’ Recent
ly he discovered a hard substance
in the roof of his mouth and after
working with it he extrgcted a four-
penny nail. Seibert says that when
he was seventeen years old he was
struck on the head by a board and
that in some manner a nail must
have been driven into his skull. Sei-
bert is now sixtyfive years old.
Looking forward to the celebration
of a safe and sane Fourth of July,
the authorities of Bedford have pas-
ged an ordinance prohibiting per-
| sons from exploding firecrackers,
5 squibs or explosives of any kind, and
f i dealers have been warned not to sell
fireworks of any kind. It is a difficult
thing for officers to prevent the |
discharge of noise-making devices if |
the merchants are premitted to sell
them.
The armored car which is making
the round trip between Boston to |
San Francisco passed through this
county early last week over the Lin-

pounds of armer plate and, with crew
and equipment, weights 5,300 Ibs. |
It takes an average of one hundred
miles daily. The car is equipped with |
bullet proof tire, periscope machine |
gun, aeroplane rapid fire gun, camp
outfit, wrecking apparatus and wire
guards.

THE NATION PASSED BY.
To A Good Samaritan:
A nation is dying of hunger.
It is a small, weak nation, and its call
perhaps is unheard among the strong-
er appeals of its powerful neighbors,
in their sudden, recent sufferings.
For three years the country of Alba-
nia has been the victim of sword and
famine. Now, the people are with-
out food. Ten thousand human beings
are starving daily.
The women are emaciated; their
bones seem about to protrude through
their skin. Would you give bread to
one famished woman; save for her a
child dear to her as yours to you?
Would you win a grateful look from
the appealing eyes of her in whose
wasted hands you place the gift?
Give one hundred cents to buy flour
for Albania. If you have given to oth-
er countries until you feel that you
can do no more, give ten cents. A bit
of bread from each of the well-fed
will feed all.
