FARMERS UNITED

Following a tour through the farm
ing regions of Schuylkill, Berks, Col
umbia. Montgomery aud Northumber-
land counties. a party of western
poultry dealers declare that the farm
ef~ OF all the districts appear to have
organized and that Community of
Interests exists between them. They
assert that their Investigations de-
yeloped the fact that while the farm
ers have assiduously circulated the re-
port that the heat and the protracted
spells of wet weather were fatal for
Young turkeys, and that the birds were
extremely scarce, Just the opposite is
the case
They say that on many of the farms
large tlocks of turkeys were found in
fields that are isolated and out Of sight
from the road At one farm they said
that they found nearly POO turkeys
feeding in "a hollow about 500 yards
from the farm house. When they in

Later on the party went to field
nearby and dug up six rows of pota-

For some time past it has been
known that alliances have been organ
lied throughout the farming districts,
aud il is now said that a central or
governing committee fixes the prices
of everything the farmers sell and
limits the output, so as to keep the
demand strong and the prices high.

during the month Of October
Mr. McHenry will greatly enlarge
his distIllery at Benton, which is II

large the old plant and as indicated
by the number of brick purchased the

WILL REPAIR
GILLASPY PROPERTY

The borough council held a special
meeting on Saturday night for the
purpose of making arrangements for
beginning the work of raising j Y.
Gillaspy's S building at the corner of
Mill and Front streets, which was left
considerably below grade when Mill
street was paved. Mr Gillaspy's prop
erty is the last Of the several build
ings on Mill street damaged when the
paving was put down.
In the case of the other buildings
viewers were appointed, who awarded
certain sum Of money as damages,
which was paid over to the owners,
who made the Improvements them
selves. Mr.. Gillaspy's three buildings
adjoining each other and constituting
his hotel property, are all more or less
damaged. From the first he has shown
an inclination TO be liberal and made
no special efforts to induce council to
take action in the matter At the last
regular meeting he was present and
stated that if the borough would mere
ly raise the lower building, which is
the one affected most, he would him
self make all other repairs necessary
ana raise the other two buildings as
required.
Council unhesitatingly accepted his
proposition and the meeting Saturday
night was held to adopt specifications
and to get ready to invite bids. Mem
bers were present as follows: Gibson,
Vastine, Dietz, Sweisfort, Russell,
Angle, Bedea, Finnigan, Hughes, ia
cobs and Eisenhart
The two story building to be raised
by the borough will have to be cut
loose from the adjoining one. 1t will
have to be raised abut three feet, six
inches, so that the first floor of the
several buildings viii be level with
each other If any decayed sills are
found under the building they are to
he taken out and replaced with good
sound stills. Foundation walls, eigh-
teen inches thick, are to be built un-
der the sill after the building is rails
/ ed.
/ On motion of Mr. Vastine it was
ordered that council advertise for bids
to raise the building according to
specifications. the proposals to be in
by next Friday night. 1t is desired to
enter upon the work as early as posi-
hlc.

Notable Production.

With his usual disregard Of expense
in everything relative to the maintain
ing Of his position at the head of the
moving picture business in this coun-
try, Mr.. Edwin j. Hadley, the expert,
secured at considerable expense the
only really satisfactory series of views
that intelligently portray the actual
condition of affairs in San Francisco
Immediately after the disaster. In a
recent conversation Mr. Hadlcy said
We were not Johnnies on the spot,
waiting for the earthquake. We do
not present pictures Of the falling
walls ana people fleeing in terror wild
with excitement We did not have our
camera ready to take a picture of a
thief caught stealing and shot by the
soldiers. We do, however, present
genuine, authentic and satisfactory
views taken after the shock and when
the fire had been extingished, enabling
the securing of clear negatives, un-
marred by clouds of smoke.
In presenting this series we appeal
to the Intelligent common senae class
of people who don't believe in being
humbugged -
These authentic views are only a
small part Of the HadIey program, and
the exhibition will be as varied and
pleasing rs usual
The Hadley pictures are to be pre-
sented at the Mahoning Presbyterian

The Edwin j. Hadley moving picture
exhibition last evening was the best
thing of the kind ever seen in Burling-

are familiar with this class of enter

not single awkward hitch or break
