into sympathy with the laborlng

DR.. Stelzle has been supplying

given and many interesting con
tributions on the claims of the
church upon the laborlng-man,
and the claims of the laborlng-
man upon the church.
Not only will there be a great
mum Der of mem bers of the labor
unions OF Harrisburg, York, Bal

BURIED TREASURE.
Aged Utah Man Says He Knows Where
There is $4,000 Hidden Near
NeeIytOu.

To locate $4,000 in gold and
silver, which was hidden near
Neelyton, Huntingdon county, G.
b. Ayres, a mining man, will
leave Salt Lake City, Utah, for
his old home in Huntingdon coun.
ty to make an extensive search.
The money was hidden under a
rock in a secluded spot in the
backwoods along a stream sixty.
five years ago, and Mr.. Ayres
now believes that recollection
which came to him a short time
ago will enable HIM to find the
place.
The money was placed IN tie
ground by y. H. Ayres, father of
the Utah man, who, being skepti-
cal of banks. chose the earth as a
depository. He was suddenly
stricken by paralysis, and died
without being able to reveal the
hiding place of the com. A search
was begun by the members of
the family, but this was frultless.
In a letter recei> ed from the
home of his childhood a few days
ago. Mr.. Ayre's recollectlons
were refreshed, and he feels as.
sured that he can find the spot
where the money was hidden.
Mr.. Ayres remembers having
been led several times while he
was a child to a rock beside a
stream, and remembers having
seen his father working about
the rock. He believes his father
was burying the money at these
times, and that he can again find
the rock and dig up the money.
Mr.. Ayres is seventy-two years
old.

daughter Nina packed his lunch
to go to work IN j. q. Spannuth's 9

go to the store and loaf awhile.
After the guests arrived his

Be Careful,

The Bedford Gazette says;
"We are informed that there are
agents IN part of this county
taking orders for cloth, and with
the order, taking the notes of
farmers before delivering the
goods. While this may be legiti-
mate business 1t is very danger
Gus business.
''No agent or firm has any right
to ask that an article be paid for
before 1t Is delivered. We say to
our readers-be careful. You
have no guarantee that the goods
will ever be delivered, and If de
llvered you have no assurance
that the cloth will be "all wool
and yard wide"
"Arguing from experiences OF
farmers and others IN this and
other counties IN the past 1t is not
difficult to arrive at the conclusion
that there Is danger in making
such purchases-there may be
something rotten in the State of
Denmark" Instances there
have been In which notes have
been given for sums, which sums
had grown when the notes ap-
peared in bank.
"Be careful! Far better buy
from home merchants who do not
ask pay IN advance and who will
make good any defects; they are
here and you can go to them; but
IT you go hunting for agents who
have duped you may travel long
distances and not find them-they
may have followed IN the foot
steps of others and gone to Can
ada or to the Klondlke.
What applies to Bedford coun-
ty is equally applicable IN Fulton.

Snake Story No, |,

Warfordsburg, r. F.. D., No /,
June 3.-Last Sunday evening,
after returning from church, and
before gong to bed, Mrs. David
Stevens went out to the chicken
house to see that her "peeps"
were all right, and it is a good
thing that she thought about
them, for several of them were
missing. One mother hen she
found off the nest and greatly ex-
cited, and on board leading to
the nest she found stretched a
long blacksnake. She at once
called for Davy, and when the
latter entered the building, the
snake was lmpudent enough to
dispute the right of possession
of the chicken house. A club IN
the hand of Mr.. Stevens helped
to decide the question, but just
at that moment another big snake
sprang from the nest for the pur
pose Of helping defend its mate;
but 1t, too, was soon in snake hea
ven. TO satisfy his curiosity,
Mr.. Stevens measured the rep
tiles and found that one measur.
ed five feet in length, and the 9th
er four and a half.

Pure Food Bill.
Secretary

The following abstract from
the Pure Food Bill recently sign
ed by Governor Stuart is of IN
terest to the general public;
The new bill prohibits the
adulteratlon of food by the use
of any "added ingredients dele
ferrous to health" and specifical-
ly names a large number OF
chemical preservatives that are
prohibited.
The use of alum IN bread, bak-
ing powder aud other articles of
food is unlawful.
The prohibition of nitrous acid
will stop the sale of a mber of
brands of western flour said to
be bleached with this chemical,
and the prohibition of compounds
of copper will put stop to the
sale of the beautiful green French
peas. The mlllers of this vicinity
have been much interested IN
this clause. Their products are
not affected and the ruling out of
bleached flour will naturally wld-
en- their market.
While the use OF oenzoate of
soda IN proportion o. one.tenth of
one per cent. is allowed, that or
any other ingredient used must
be plainly stamped on each pack.
age in which such goods are de-
Ilvered to the purchaser.
The retailer who sells an adul--
terated or mlsbranded article is
protected from prosecution, pro.
vlded he can show a written
guarantee from the house that
sold him the goods to the effect
that the article is IN conformity
with the Pennsylvania law, but if
he again offers to sell the article
the guarantee will not protect
him.
An important feature of the
new law is that 1T substitutes
criminal for civil proceedings.
Dairy and Food Commissioner
F'oust said recently that this
would greatly facilitate the eff.
forts of his department in pro.
tecting the people against impure
foods.

Now, What DO You Think OF That?'

1t is an old saying, "Go away
from home to hear the News. "
We just picked up a newspaper
published away down at Eliza.
bethvllle, Pa, and glanclng over
1t in that matter of habit way that
belongs to an editor, our eyes fell
upon the following paragraph,
which got us thoroughly awake
IN about minute.
Among the prospective
benedicts for 1909 is Prof. A.
j. Dohner, Principal of the
Elizabethvllle High School, the
wedding to take place during
the late summer. The BRIDE
to be Is Miss Nora O. Fisher,
an accomplished young lady
of McConnellsburg, Fulton
county, Pa.
That evidently means our Nora,
daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. w. S.
Fisher, the lady who has so sue.
cessfully taught the Primary
school in this place during the
past two years. If 1t should
turn out that we are mistaken In
the identity of the "bride to be-"
we will let you know later.
