PLEASANT VALLEY.

Sleighing is the order of the day
and | think it is enjoyed by all both
old young.
Mr.. G. C. bursts children, | hear,
have the measles.
Miss Susie burst is quite ill at her
home in New Germany.
The Compton school is progressing
very nicely under the able manage
ment of Mr.. l.. j. Beachy. He is
liked by both scholars and parents.
All wish him success.
Mr. and Mrs. Henry Swauger, of
this place, gave an oyster supper at
their house on Saturday evening last
at which quite a crowd of young peo-
pie were present most of whom were
from Grantsville and as the weather
was quite rough they were obliged to
remain until the following morning
when, after breakfast, they returned
to their homes. They were enter
tanned during the evening by music,
which was rendered by Miss Bertha
Bittinger and Miss Ella Swauger, of
Grantsville. DAISY.

Jonah and the Whale.

The London Lancet the other day re-
printed criticism of a medical lecture
given in 1923 upon the power of the d.
gestive organs upon substances en-
dued with vitality" category which
includes the prophet Jonah. flow the
prophet passed his time in the cavity
of the whales stomach, how far the
confinement affected his organs Of res
piration, are questions of minor impor-
lance" we are told, but the main argu-
ment may be thus stated. When Jo-
nah entered the whales stomach, Ell
Their he was alive or was not alive. If
he was not alive, the stomach would
have had the same power over him as
over any other inanimate substance
and the prophet would have been di-
gested in the ordinary way" But since
he was not digested he was alive when
swallowed and, as the argument points
out, must have continued to live"
Consequently when he was thrown up
on the fourth day he was deposited on
the dry land, probably without any
other Inconvenience than some trifiing
arrangement of his canonicals."

OIL SPRlNkLED ROADS.
How to Obviate Their Only Serious
Disadvantage

There are advantages and disadvan-
tages in oil sprinkled roads, according
TO the experience Of the park commits
sioners in San Francisco. The dust is
certainly laid, and driving in the parks
where the roadways have been thus
treated is freed from the discomfort Of
dirt in the eyes and lungs of drivers
and horses, while the foliage and grass
along the highways are as green as if
daily rain washed.
Complaints of the horse owners are
confined to the injury done their cloth
ing and their vehicles by the flying bits
of oil soaked sand. This last the COM
missioners promise to remedy. When
the roads have become sufficiently
packed, they will be covered with a
thin layer of white sand.
There is hint in this last for road
makers elsewhere, as sprinkling with
oil instead of water has become wide
spread'this summer particularly in the
south, where the good roads movement
is enjoying belated popularity. An
other hint to be borrowed from the
Californians is in using the oil hot,
whereby the materials of the roadbed
are practically cemented.

One OF the inconsistencies OF strikers
is shown in the fact that the Wilkes
barre lace mills have been compelled TO
shut down because the manager refused
to discharge five girls who were related
to men who had refused to leaye the
mines and join the striking miners.
This looks very much like the "sins Of
the parents being visited unto the chill
dren" etc, and In the minds oil unpreju-
diced people cannot fail to cause the
miners u loss of sympathy and respect.
The man, or set OF men, who cannot
build UP themselves without tearing
down other people to do so, do not de-
serve SUCCESS.

VILLAGE IMPROVEMENTS.

VILLAGE IMPROVEMENTS
The people OF Perrysburg have long
been crying for improvements aud
have in many instances blamed the
village council because that body has
not taken the initiative in the matter
and ordered the Improvements which
arc so badly needed to make our town
whai IT should be.
| IT, socms tbs nature OF many people
to find fault and expect others to do
that which Is plainly their own duty.
/ Such has long been The great diff
Guilty In Perry5burg and uutil the peo-
pie get together and assume the
duties and responsibilities which are
their own, Perrysburg will continue to
be back number.
The JOURNAL has every reason to
believe that the majority of the
present council are in favor OF making
such village Improvements as are de.
sired by the people, but, profitlng by
the experience OF Perrysburg's past,
they do not feel that they should as
sumo all responsibility, and are await
ing the pleasure Of the people. What
more could be asked OF the Council?
The time-honored proverb that "a
house divided against itself must falP'
has been proven only too true with
Perry ysburg. Our village has always
been divided, and is divided at the
present time. Some OF our people say
that water works are the most i'm
portant; others that sewers should be
the first Improvements, while another
class declares that paved streets should
be first. Many OF our best citizens and
heaviest tax payers-people who are
clamoring for improvements-are en-
rolled in the three classes just men,
toned.
There has also been so-called
fractional feeling" that has done much
harm to the towu.
A citizen whom we will call Mr..
Jones desires a certain Improvement
and decides on the system He deems
most suitable; number of his inti-
mate friends join with him. Mr.. Smith
wants the same improvement, but on a
different plan, but Jones will not agree
with Smith, and Smith won't adopt
the Jones plan. Neither will play
horse" unless he can do the driving;
and the whole scheme ends in fight.
The result: the village suffers.
This very uuwise plan has existed
for years and our people who have the
welfare of the village at heart should
rise above this selfish condition;
should try TO see that others may,
possibly. be as wise as themselves, and
be willing to adopt any reasonable
plan that may he suggested which will
result in accomplishing SOMETHING,
remembering that ANYTHING is
better than NOTHING and that we
will continue TO have nothing so long
as our present selfish and ignorant
manner of doing business as pursued.
We invite the citizens OF Perrysburs
to use the columns OF the JOURNAL in
the discussion of the question of inn
provcmonts.
This matter is now up TO the people.
Don't damn the council for not doing
what you wish TO have done; Just go
out in the back yard aud kick yourself
for not doing your duty as citizeni
because yOu have been Sitting in
darkness" on account ofyour failure TO
allow the lamp OF wisdom, ambition
and village pride to illumine the dark
ness that surrounds you.

THE PEACH RENTAL.

When some fortunate people in Con- necticut this year write to their friends Come and see the folks and get some peaches it will mean something. The Connecticut Pomological Society, in conjunction with the officials of the State Experiment Station, has just completed a census of the peach crop of the State, and from figures obtained from all the orchards of any size in the State it appears that Connecticuts peach crop this season will aggregate 341, ,576 bushels, or 683, 152 baskets. It is estimated that at least 275,OO0 baskets will be shipped out of the State, which would indicate that Connecticut peaches will figure quite largely in the general markets this year. The society has pre- pared list of the growers and the principal shipping stations, and will CO., operate with the transportation compa- nies and commission houses in the suc- cessful distribution of the crop.
 There were many peaches of much goodness in Connecticut formerly, and it is encouraging to see peach revival here. Peaches are both beautiful and
 useful, and it is no wonder that they
 furnish synonym for beautiful and
 useful girls.

my hands while waiting for the stomach
 pump the patient was given some milk,
 which he willingly drank. The odor and the discoloration from the acid had disappeared from the patients lips, mouth and tongue on taking the vinegar and water, and on using the stomach pump no odor from the liquid that was pumped from his stomach could be de- tected- After the stomach had been carefully washed out, the patient was fed with hot milk for several days. and nq further symptoms developed.
