THE CALL FOR MEN

" The head of large commercial establishment says

employment vet before it hard to get good
employee for almost any position as today.
The great cry since the world began, is: "Give us a
man."
The scarcest thing in the world is who
accomplish something, man of force, man with
concentrated energy, man who has definite purpose
and knows how to fling his life out to it with all the weight
of his being Such man is needed in every calling.
81 have two hundred millions in my coffers' said
Napoleon, 'but would give them all for Marshal Ney.
He wanted man.
The world wants who produce results, men
possessing tact, practical ability and executive force.
The times demand men who well balanced and not
cursed with inherent defect moral weakness which
crpples their usefulness and neurazes all their power
The call is for men who do not take half views of
things, of common sense, men who are trained all

microscopic whose brains keen and well developed
and whose hearts stout enough for any task
Never did the world call loudly for with
force, energy and purpose than today.

 Shortly after the 9:35 train passed through here yesterday morning the now track that runs through the borough on the high grade was con nected with the main line of the railroad.

 The case of William Dunn who is implicated in the burglary committed at the office of the G. M. R. shoe will be tried tomorrow in the borough court. When the case was before the court about month ago post ponement was taken, because Allen, who wanted on the same charge, had not been apprehended, since that time however Allen has been brought here and waved examination and was bound over to the higher court, and just what effect Aliens actions will have on the Dunn case is difficult to say. There are many who are of the opinion that with the evidence no stronger now than it was month ago and with Allen throwing no light whatever on the case, Dunn has a fairly good chance of not being held for the superior court.

What kind of hog win bring the
most money n the market, and what
breed VIII make the best market hog
These are questions hard to answer
definitely. Markets vary as to the
class Of hogs that win sell at the top.
When lard is at premium the hog
that yields a large amount Of lard is
the market topper, and that means
the heavy. thick, fat hog. When lard
is below other products this kind Of
hog sells for less than the light weight
which viii make handy pork loins and
good hams without too much fat on
them. Taking one year with another
IN eastern markets, the hog Of $50 TO
300 pounds will hit the top oftener
than any other weight. In western
markets hogs Of around $50 pounds
win probably average best. Some
times lighter or heavier hogs will out
sell these grades, according to the
fluctuations in price of the product.
In summer hog prices cover the widest
range because there Is the greatest
difference Ia the yield of product at
this season. In the winter all hogs are
corn fed and yield more uniform guam
titles of product. In summer many
are grassers that make low yields and
of inferior quality to corn fed hogs.
