General Clement, telegraphic dis-

sent home the regiments which have
been the longest on the border. The
Fighting Tenth,” of which Comp®ny
C. is a component part, was one of
the first régiments to arrive there,
and will have the preference.
A request bas been made to General
Funston oe the troops he held in
camp until Oetober 2, as maneuvers
have been planned which will be seri-
ously affected of the three regiments
of infantry are withdrawn before that
date. The request it is believed, will
be granted, so that “the boys” will
not receive their “homeward bound”
orders until Monday a week. i
Whether they will be sent directly
home or to Mt. Gretna, is also quest-
ioned; indications are that the troons
will be mustered out at El Paso, and
sent to their home station.

SEPTEMBER 28, 1916
THE FAIR A GRAND SUCCESS.
Notwithstanding the fact that the
quarantine greatly reduced the at-
tendance at the Meyersdale fair held
last week, the attendance was very
large and summing it all up the four
days’ event was a big success. On
Thursday there were between four
and five thousand present. The exhib-
its’ eclipsed those of other years in
points of number and in some cases
of excellence. The races were the
best ever held,
The weather, in one fine word, was
superb, and only on Friday afternoon
did Pluvius show any dispesiton to
mar the occason,
In commenting upon the number
of automobiles® on the ground on
Thursday, an observer thought there
must have been a million dollars
worth of vehicles of that kind on
hand.
There were no discordant features
and all passed off well. It would have
been a record breaker had the child-
ren been allowed to be there.
STATE AGRICULTURE NOTES
Reports from all over the State in-
dicate that the oats yield will not be
as large as expected. There was a good
growth of oats but the threshing has
shown a much smaller percentage of
grain than was expected. :
More silos have been built through-
out the State during the past year
than ever before in one year and the
farmers in most districts are now
busy filling these silos for winter use.
The new silos are mostly of stone:
tile and concrete replacing the old
wooden silo,
One of the largest fruit growers in
the apple belt ~ neasr Waynesboro re-
ports a crop of over 20,000 bushels of
apples.
The potato crop mas sucered great
damage in some sections through the
cold wet spring and the attacks by
the potato bugs and other pests.
Much less than an average crop is
expected.
Reports fromMontgomery county
state that the drought has been hard
on the corn, potatoes and pasture, but
that wheat and oats are yielding well.
Fruit growers who have plum tress
report spendid results this seascn
with the German prune plum.
THE GOVERNOR
AT SOMERSET
Governor Martin G. Brumbaugh.
was according a rousing welcome at
fair being held this week at Somer-
set when he arrived there Wednes-
day morning from making his agricul
tural tour, having remained the pre-
ceding night at Bedford.
Following a4 very pithy ntroducton
by former Judge Kooser, the govern-
explained that the purpose of making
these. tours was to focus the atten-
tion of the eight million of; the.peo-
ple of the state on ogriculture and
good roads. From his obsrvations
the governor was enabled to point out
the good and what was bad in farms |
and roads. He scored the stretch of |
hichway from Edgewood park that
extends into Somerset as giving him
enough dust to last for a month.
Governor Brumbaugh is
more and more popular with the peo-
ple; the reason is, he is
ble man as to his qualifications and
one of the people. He will be called
tc even more responsible positions la- |
to vem more rsponsibl positions la-
ter.
The Democratic idea apparently is
to keep reiterating a thing in the
hope that the people will come finally
to believe it. Thus, in 1912, their plat-
form declared that its promises were
made to be kept when in office; and
in that same year, Mr. Wilson
said that his party promises were uct
molasses to catch flies. This year he
returns to the same text and in his
speech of acceptance he says that the
people do not need to be assured that
the Democratic platform is a definite
pledge and a practical programme.
With conscious or

MEDICAL MEETING.
INTERESTING COUNTY
SE —
The Somerset County Medical So-
ciety held a very interesting session
at Boswell on on the 19; the attend-
ance was large and the interest great,
~Dr.’S. S. Kring of Johnstown deli-
vered a lecture on “The Eye” which.
riveted the attention of all present.
He exhibited charts on the eye and
demonstrated therefrom. He gave the
function, the anatomy showing of
each particular muscle and membrane
he mentioned the diseased conditions
of the eye and the treatment for each
such particular. diseased condition.
The Doctor impressed his audience
with the fact that he himself could
not have improved on the making of
the eye. Dr. Marsden of Somerset
opened the discussion of Dr. Kring’s
lecture and was followed by others.
Dr. F. B. Jones of Johnstown exhib-
filed a very interesting human mon-
strosity, and gave a short talk on
such deviations from the normal de-
velopment. . Dr. Jones of Johnstown
who i$ a bacteriolgist and pathologist
snoke of the importance of a thoro ex-
amination of all the excretions of the
body as well as examinations of the
blood in making a diagnosis of any
case, all of which was very interest-
ing but which the society did not have
the proper time to discuss as some
bad to leave at 3-30 or walk.
| Some of the Doctors say this was
the best meeting held in a long time.
MOB TONIC
The State of Ohio was disgraced
last week by a mob which stormed the
Allen county jail in Lima in an at-
tempt to take from the authorities a
Negro prisoer for the purpose of
lynching him. The Sheriff was badly
beaten and as a result of shock caus-
ed by the attack on the jail the Sher-
iff’s little daughter who was serious-
ly ill died.
The significant feature of this dis-
graceful episode is that the mob form-
ed in one of Lima’s well-regulated,
model saloons. The next day the au-
thorities closed the saloons fearing
further violence.
It is the first whisky mob since the
affair in East Youngstown last Jan-
uary when a million dollars worth of
| property was destroyed and several
lives lost through mob violence. That
