increase of one per
cent. on the rate of wages for this month is
an indication of brighter prospects for the
coal diggers,'' and although the amount
is small, it is an evidence of the improved
condition Of the coal market. Another
favorable sign is the fact that, with very
few exceptions, all Of the best producing
collieries of the Reading company are now
working, ONE four days a week and a few
full time. The officials of the Reading
company have stated that all the collieyies
under their control will be working full
time as soon as some of their new markets
are opened. 1 trust the bright prospects
realized by our miners, and that, too, in
the very near future.

One month and a few days from now the
Fourth of July will be here, and the day
should be appropriately celebrated by our
citizens. l understand that the American
Mechanics have been granted permission
by the School Board to raise an American
flag over the High school building in town,
and that the various societies have been
requested by this organization to take part
in the ceremonies and parade. The day could
not be more appropriately observed, and
it is a duty devolYing upon each citizen of
the town to exert himself and aid the good
work in every manner possible. The stars
and stripes have been placed inside the
school rooms by the P. o. S. of A., and it
has undoubtedly stimulated love for the
flag in the hearts of the young.
-
The good work Of placing the flag over the
school buildings throughout the country is.a
patriotic undertaking, snd nearly every
town and hamlet in the country has the
stars and stripes waving TO the breeze over
the schools. 1t creates a feeling in the
hearts of the children similar to that felt
by their fathers, who we're taught from the
cradle to manhood to love the country
from which they came. 1t is a grand work
the order of American Mechanics have
undertaken in this town, and they deserve
the assistance of every patriotic citizen, no
matter from what cline he halls, and !
believe they will receive it.

The season has arrived when it becomes
necessary to take up the careful considers-

pears in both private and in public. That
there is q most extraordinary contrast
between the home and public life of the
strawberry shortcake everybody knows
who has paid any attention to the subject.
The private strawberry shorteske, under
its happiest conditions, is a fortunate com.
bination of strawberries, sugar and baked
dough, which never fails to be delightful
to the palate. But how different is the
strawberry shortcake in its public capacity,
