Clark was machine of Harvey Beck, of Mount | Hope, when the accident occurred. | The motorcycle struck a rut at the | foot of the hill. Clark was picked up and taken to Manheim, where Dr. O. R. Diehl at- | tended him and he directed that he be taken to St. Joseph’s Hospital. Clark bled from the right ear, which indicates that he may be hurt inter- nally. The lower jaw bone is frac- tured, several face wounds have been sustained and in addition he is bruised about the body. He was do- ing nicely at the hospital today and those in charge thought perhaps that the skull was not fractured. etl Ieee $100 From Festival One hundred dollars was realized towards the building and improve- ment fund of St. Mary’s Catholic church, Saturday evening at the strawberry festival held on the lawn of Mrs. J. B. Keller, on East Main street. The following women had charge of the arrangements: Mrs. Jesse Watson, Miss Margaret Rahm, Mrs. Roy Preston, Miss Margaret Dearbeck, Mrs. O. M. Donovan and Mrs. J. B. Keller. That Sure is Steep Yesterday there was an example of the high cost of food stuffs in this boro. The stores and local dealers, who buy their potatoes, sell them at 45 cents per half peck, which seems to be the universal price. A lady from the country, who raised them, was about town with potatoes and asked 60 cents per half peck or $4.80 per bushel when our stores sell them at $3.60. Of course she didn’t sell many at that price. Doctors Doing Their Bit The auxiliary committee for mili- tary defense announces that eigh- teen physicians in the county have taken the preliminary examination for enrollment in the U. S. Army; two for the Navy and eight for the National Guards. Among them are Dr. J. S. Kendig of Salunga and Dr. Wm. Workman of this place. rrr, AGA Printed the Invitations This office has just completed the printing of a very beautiful invita- tion for the Mount Joy High School.

C., June 18—Un- less there are unforeseen develop- ments to hurry construction of the sixteen cantonments for training the new national army the first incre- ment of 650,000 troops will not be | in draining. 4 September 1, as generally as been supposed, and in act may not get into training for six weeks thereafter. War Department officials said to- day that no specific date ever had been set for the opening of the training camps. Secretary Jones sev- eral weeks ago, answering a sug- gestion that some of the troops be { used for harvesting, spoke of Sep- tember 1 as the probable date of opening the camps and pointed out that most of the harvesting would be over by that time. War Department officials general- ly had fixed September 1 in their minds as the time training would be- gin. The first body of officers for the new army now being trained in camps throughout the country is to be turned out in August to make room for the next body. This was arranged on the plan of having the draft complete, exemptions disposed of and troops ordered into training camps by September 1. Rl Bzhibnji rr ”’”™”bn Will Sit on Thursday Mr. Newton B.

Corn that had reached almost the two-dollar mark is now a dollar- forty-five, and potatoes that were over three dollars are now priced at a dollar-and-a-quarter. As all of them are among the most important articles of food, their decline in price is certainly good news to the consumer. mre Ml Gp WE Red Cross Fete A festival will be held in the OUR WEEKLY CARD BASKET PERSONAL MENTION ABOUT THE MANY COMERS AND GOERS IN THIS LOCALITY Mrs. J.

These men are giving their time and service to call on the people of the town to receive their subserip- Their efforts so far have sterr tions. been most encouraging in their re- sults. But their is a great deal to be done and little time to do it in. There are seven millions of poor suffering wounded and sick soldiers who are depending on the Red Cross for food, for shelter, for medical care and nurses. Let us do our “bit” and do it generously. The people of limited means are not called upon to pay their sub- scription all down at once, but they can do so in four payments: the first of July, August, September and October. We propose to raise $3500 in Mount Joy. We ought to give at least an amount equal to five per cent. of the Liberty Bonds sub- scribed for here, and that would amount to considerably more than the $3500. If for any reason people object to give money to help to carry on the war, they can surely find none to prevent them from helping to re- lieve awful human suffering. Nor should we forget that we can feel a great pride for Mount Joy to take a foremost place in such a noble object. Let us remember that this commit- tee is a duly authorized one. It is composed of business men who have the respect of the community, and you know your money will go thru to its appointed place. Give and give as you have never given before, for the honor of your- self, your town and your country, and for the sacred cause of human- ity.
