Day" On that day the Jews are request
ed to register as voters for delegates to
the Zionist congress, the fee for register

indications that the desire is something
more than mere dream.

ments of subscription accounts from a
newspaper, and yety hen those same peo-
pie have bill against a newspaper man

with strange people in it. There isn't any
lusiness with greater expense than the
newspaper business, and yet good men

the bill for that reason. OF course in
sending out duns in any business some
times mistakes are made, but those car
be corrected usually without bloodshed

citing sport events between two old-time
rivals will be pulled Off in series OF
three football games between Oil City and
Franklin. The first game will take place
in Oil City next Saturday. 22d inst, an
other on Thanksgiving, 9th, at Frank

eye" and whole lot o fun may he ex-
pected. C. l.. Mandaville, Bucknell's
