FRAUDULENT ADVERTISING.

An interesting article on fraudulent adj
ycrtisinp was prcsentrd at the last meeting
of piano manufacturers and dealers IN
New York City last June. This article
was written by Lewis II. Clement of New
York and covered the entire field of adj
vcrtising in a most practical manner as
applied to the piano business. One OF the
spccial features. mentioned by him. was
reference to the German and English laws
with regard to mis- statements made and
fraudulent representations in advertising
and called special attention TO the clause
which refers especially to the placing upon
anv manufactured article any name other
than that of the original maker as being
subject to heavy penalty such as fine or
imprisonment, as 1t Is very common
practice in the manufacture of pianos to
deceive the public in regard to the real
origin of the piano by putting false and
fictitious names on the fall board and cast
ing the same in the iron plate of the piano.
Mr.. Clement in his article deplored the
fact that there was no such law in this
country whereby every manufacturer of
pianos would be compelled to cast in the
plate Of the piano and place in the fall
board his own name showing the actual
origin of the piano.
In connection with this article, it is in.
tcrcsting to note tile advertising in this
paper. inserted by the Bush and Gerts
Piano Company of Chicago, which com
pany has been making a strong fight
through the Associations and has taken up
along legislative action the question of in

those in Germany and England, following

On Monday the first rain for about
month fell in this vicinity. At interval
during the morning heavy showers came
from the SOUTH but during the Afternoon
the clouds broke and the sun h me forth.
About six O'Clock p. M, heavy cloud
b mixed in the west and in a few minutes
rain was falling in torrents over sec

rain was accompanied by a heavy wine
and soon the heaviest rain and wine

was cut off and roads made impossible bA

About 10 O'Clock the sky began to clea,
and the wind quoted and on Tuesday

A Pleasant Walk.
one nnOntT

On Sunday afternoon the boarders at
the home of Mr.. and Mrs. Clark Shaiiei
accompanied by Messrs JOS. Hemler, Ed
and Ernest Settler and Mr.. and Mrs.
Shatfer started on trip to the mount
aims. The party left the home of Mr..
Shatfer at 2.l5 p. m, from here they
proceeded to the old mountain church.
When this point was reached it was de-
cided that the trip be continued to Car
rick s Knob and Spoke Tree. All having
agreed both places We're reached. Car
rick's Knobb being the first in sight
caused much surprise to all who We're
there. On arriving at the foot of the
rocks one would think it almost impossi-
BILE to climb to the top but with the as
sistance of guide the top is easily reach
ed and beautiful view of the valley is
obtained. Having taken a good view of
the valley we continue our journey to the
old historic Spoke Tree. This place is
considered the highest place on this
mountain and is supposed to have been
used as an observatory by the sharp shoot
ers during the battle of Gettysburg. Sew
eral of the party climbed to the top of
the tree and beheld the beautiful view of
the valley beneath. Having spent some
time here we decided to return home by
Huckles spring, on the arrival at the
spring all took drink and then contiEu-
ed the journey homeward. The day was
an ideal one for Tip of this kind. All
reported very delightful trip and wish
to take another one but our time is linn
tied. Those taking the trip were Mr.,
and Mrs. Clark Shaffer, Misses Mary and
Julia Reynolds, Messrs j. Hemler, Edw.
and Ernest Settler and Michael Corcoran.
We certainly wish to extend our thanks
through the CLARION to Messrs j. Hem
Ter and E. Settler for their kindness in
acting as guides on the trip.
Before saying adieu we wish to mer-
ton that the graphophone recitals given
at the home of Mr.. and Mrs. Shaffer this
summer by Edw. Settler were greatly
enjoyed and we also wish to thank him
through the CLARION for his kindne. s
and ask him to please not to forget us
next summer.

Getting Very Smart.

Several young men from the neighbor-
hood of Jimtown who are found in town
almost every night of the week and Sun
day ALSO have been making a habit of
following young ladies about the street
and also stepping from dark or secluded
places and asking if their company would
be agreeable for the evening. We advise
these lads to be very caraful lest they
get into trouble

PRAYER for sunday schools.

The World'S Sunday School Asso-
citation has recommended October Is
for special prayer for Sunday Schools.
The Maryland EvangcliStic Associa-
ton therefore suggests that ON the
morning of the 18th the pastor drhv-
cr sermon emphasizing the spiritual
side of Sunday School work; that III
connection with the Sunday School
session prayer service be held for a
baptism of power; that the evening
be devoted to brief talks on Sunday
School work, closing with consc-
Grafton service.
The importance of such a service
cannot be- ovcrcstimated. The spir-
itual condition of Sunday Schools in
this state is far from satisfactory.
Parents need to be aroused to sense
Of their responsibility; teachers need
to be awakened from Indifference and
stirred to greater diligence. World-
illness has crcpt into the Sunday
School life; sport and other secular
izing and prostituting influences lave
seriously obscurcd the vital objects OF
the inStitutSon.

p. 0. Department and School Children

j ".
The Postohicc Department has an
nounced that postmastcrs all over the
country have been directed to confer
with their local school authorities as
to the practicability and desirability
of delivering short talks to the school
children on subjects affecting the malI
service. Where it is impossible fol
the postmaster to personally deliver
the address he will he expected t,
furnish the school supervisors such
information as may be needed for the
work, with which they can supply
their teachers.
According to information from
Washington, the contemplated sys-
TEN of talks and demonstrations will
save much time and trouble for the
Postonicc Department in the cduca-
ton of the growing generation Ill the
matter of properly directing rnvcl-
opcs intended for the mail. There
are many causes of dcad-l"tterine
mail, but the inability of clerks to
read the addresses is by far Il more
embarrassing cause than the layman
would think. During the past ycal
13,142,172 pieces Of mail have been
sent to the dcad-lcttcr office for that
one reason alone.

That Vice President Fairbanks is

made this morning at his office in the

The Vice Presidential Indignation
was brought about by the fact that
1t Las been reported that when the

Fanama canal scandal ana mention
ing the name Of DeleYan Smith. editor
OF the indianapolis News, and rela-
tive Of Mr.. Fairbanks. came to the
senate, IT was delayed. and that the
Vice President left the chamber
rather than listen 20 the structures
upon the Indiana editor
As matter OF fact. the Vice Presi-
dent put the message ahead Of its
regular order. Instead Of permitting
Senator Carter to finish his speech on
postal savings banks. Mr.. Fairbanks
asked the Senator to deslst. which he
did, and the message went ahead. an
unusual procedure.
The Vice President, during the
reading OF the message. was called to
Senator Dixon did preside, but Ihe
Vice President was away from the
Senate chamber not more than two
or three minutes. At his Office IL
was said he has no interest vyha teyer
