THE FAIR
A SUCCESS
This week the exhibition of the
Meyersdale Fair Association is going
on with good weather in their favor
The exhibits are more in number than
in former years, and of a much better
character, the display in many lines
being first class. Much interést is
being taken in the poultry and live
stock. :
The races are fast and the stock
entered for future events all have
good marks and without doubt will
make interesting races.
The attendance is above the average
of former years, ard no doubt will ex-
ceed the highest mark on Friday when
the interest settles in DeLloyd Thomp-
son, the bird man. Those who saw
him at Dawson and elsewhere pro-
nounce him a star actor and that the
exhibition exceeded all expectations.
In these days of submarine and aero-
planes in use for war purpbses any-
thing in relation’ thereto will attract
much attention. Mr. Thompson flies
in circles, up and down and 'upside
down and can only be:appreciated by
being seen in flight.

BADLY SHOCKED
Mrs, Newton Lenhart of Salisbury
had a narrow escape from being elec-
trocuted recently while trying to
run an electric wire from her kitchen
to the henhouse in the yard.” The
electricity was turned on at the fix-
ture in the kitchen, and she started
out carrying a bulb and the ire,
when in some manner her hand came
in contact with an exposed part of the.
wire, and she was throvn down and
rendered “unconscious, remaining so
several hours. ;

REV. C. M. REICH

day afternoon by J. F. Reich announ-
cing the serious illness of his brother,
Charles M. Reich, who for a number
of "years has been serving as pastor
of charges in the Savannah, Ga., Dio-
cese of the Catholic church. :
Father Reich had been ailing for a
week or two. but his condition was
not considered serious until Monday,
when his brother, Joe F. Reich, of
this city, was summoned by telegraph
to Augusta, Georgia, where Rev.
Reich was at the time performing his
clerical duties. His brother departed
on the first train for Augusta, but
shortly following his departure word
was received here that Father Reich
had died at 6 o’clock Monday evening.
Mr. Reich returned here on Thurs-
day evening having in charge the
body. Funeral will be held Monday
at 9:30 o’clock. The body will lie in
state from Sunday noon until the
funeral in SS. Phillip and James R.

the late Mr. arid Mrs. Reinhart Reich,
pioneer residents of Meyersdale, and
was a highly esteemed young man.
He was born in Johnstown, and was
aged about 48 years and is survived
by two brothers, Joe F. and Philip G.
Reich and one sister, Mrs. Katherine
Gorman, of Johnstown. A suitable
obituary will appear next week.

the Crand Army of the Republic,
followed by Adam G. Berkebile, Com-
mander of Hinchman Camp, who will
speak of the past, present and future
of the Sons of Veterans, and Miss
Nora Pugh- will follow by telling the
many good and noble things done by
the S. of V. Ladies Auxiliary in the
past, present and the intent of the
future. After the foregoing, five
minute speeches will be in order by
other persons present.
The members of the Association
will be pleased to have the public
school scholars of the town head the
procession as indicated; it will be the
noon hour and will not much encroach
upon the school hours.
The Committee hopes that as
many of the veterans attend this Re-
union as are able to do so. The
ranks of the great armies of the past
are diminishing very rapidly and
only a few more years and there will
be none to convene. We feel, how-
ever, that our sons and grandsons will
never fail or overlook the holding of
the Annual Meet in kindly remem-
brance of the Boys of 1861-1865.
It is also requested that the people
of Somerset will not forget the vet-
erans of fifty-two years ago; a goodly
display of flags and bunting will be
appreciated and cherished—it will
revive the spirit of the comrades.
Everybody should be interested in
this annual event.
FOR THE ASSOCIATION,
Wm. M. Schrock, Secretary

states to a Commercial Representative:
that a recent purchase has been
made for a 200 horse power engine,
boiler and an electric generating plant
to be used in the busiress of manu-
facturing the Sprague Tires and cores...
The tires controlled by this corpor-
ation are being made and demonstrat-

riding, being equal to any properly in-
flated pneumatic tire, and are guar-
anteed to give 100 percent more
milage than any pneumatic tire.
Thousands of dollars worth of orders
are booked for the Sprague rubber

concern is now having manufactured,
under contract, temporarily, until
such time as the corporation will man-
ufacture its own product.
