SHORT OF HELP
Early Spring Cause of Scarcity of
Labor,

-dOOIs
Early start of spring work on North
Dakota farms finds a scarcity of farm
help. The season is about a month
ahead of the ordinary one in North
Dakota. Naturally, laborers from the
East who make an annual migration
to North Dakota for spring and sum-
mer work have not yet arrived. Farm
ers declare that their efforts to secure
men have proven vain.
Incoming trains brought several
working men from the East, and now
that the news of the early season has
been spread, there will be a steady
immigration of laborers. The wealth
er of the past week has convinced
even the doubling ones that spring is
really here.

ANOTHER CLUB FOR PIKE
COUNTY.

Through the efforts of Allentown
people there has been organized dur
ing the winter the most pretentious
hunting, fishing and summer outing
club in the annals of this section of
Pennsylvania, called the Hunters
Range Association. It's membership,
which will be limited to $50, already
consists of about 200. including men
OF means residing in Allentown.
Easton, Stroudsburg, Bethlehem,

The association has acquired con-
troll of the famous Cortright or
Twelve Mile Pond, in Pike county,
and has renamed it Hunters Range
Lake. This sheet of water, known all
over the country for it's beauty, and
widely heralded by enthusiastic
campers who have for many years
gone to spend either a part or the
whole of a summer there, is located
about II miles north of Strouds-
burg. 1t is formed by large springs
and has a shore line of over five
miles and is at places more than &C
feet deep.
This lake is the home of large bass
and pickerel, besides other varieties
of fish. The thousand acres of prim'
tive forest acquired by the Hunters
/ Range Association is surrounded by
! a 75,000-acre tract purchased by the
| State Forestry Reservation, which
| teens with game and is full of spring
water streams, in which trout abound

FRACTURED SKULL;
DIED IN HOSPITAL
LIVED AT STARRUCCA
A Man, Aged About So Years, Said
to be a Member OF the Famous
Black Hand Society, Died From
An Injury OF the Head.

A dispatch from Carbondale, un-
der date of April s, says:
Joseph Manno, of Starrucca, said
to be a member of the Black Hand
society, succumbed at the Emergency
hospital last evening to the effects of
a fractured skull at the base of the
brain.
Manno was found lying uncon-
scious at the foot of the stairs in
the home of Alex Bruno, on Wood
lawn street, early last Monday
morning. He had apparently laid
there for several hours with blood
flowing freely from the deep wound
Bruno family but they could not ac-
count for the accident other than
he was supposed to have fallen down
stairs. He died without regaining
consciousness. 1t will probably never
be know how Manno sustained the
fractured skull. The authorities
have been working on the case but
nothing has developed as yet.
The dead man was aged about sc
years. He had a wife living in
Italy.
On the night of the accident Man
no INDUCED in intoxicants quite free
ly. II is known that he called at
dition and was elected. He return
ed however. He was found uncon-
scious the following morning.

DREAD PREDICTION
BY YORK PROPHET


Spangler, of this city, who proph-
esied the San Francisco earthquake
and fire, the date of the death of
Queen Victoria, the assassination of
President Mckinley and the drought
last summer, now declares that the
earth will be torn with earthquakes,
that volcanoes will suddenly appear
in the most unexpected places and
that drought, pestilence and great
wars will follow the path of Hal
ley's comet.
Spangler asserts that astronomers
have miscalculated the result of the
comet striking the earth on May
| / Sth next. He says that the earth
will not merely be swept by the tail
of this celestial wanderer. but will
be sideswiped by it.
In 1908 his preaching of the ap-
proach of the end of the world Gre
ated a large body of followers in
New York State. They obeyed the
prophets instructions to deck them
selves in white and go to the top
of the hill on the appointed day,
/ but Spangler himself was not with
} them and the world did not come
/ to an end. He says that the people
misunderstood him; what he had
( predicted and what did come was
| the blowing of the sixth trumpet of
/ the Revelation.
When the seventh trumpet
/ blows, he says, the world will end.
1t will come at the end of a period
of disasters and punishments of the
wicked, of which the visit of Hal
ley's comet will be but the, begin
ming.
This is the prophets prediction:
There will be severe rack
ings of the entire earth, to-
gether with terrifying displays
of electrical illuminations in the
+ heavens Thousands will fall
upon their knees in prayer,
thinking that the end of the
world has come, but it will not
be the end 1t will come in
summer, not in winter or on
the Sabbath. Where the comet
will strike the world | cannot
say, but it will most likely wipe
away London as that wicked
city is TO be destroyed before
the end.
During the period which is
to follow, banks will fail and
wealthy men will wish they had
never been born. Many will
commit suicide. Sickness and
death will visit every family in =
this country from which have
come contributions to political
campaign funds. Wars will
break out and tens of thousands
win be slain.
Roosevelt had better have
stayed at home, as he is stir
ring up the nations TO strife.
y The United States will have war
; with Japan, but will come on
: victorious. Another nation will
interfere and will go down to
q defeat in the same way. A
third will follow, but will back
out England and Germany
. win go to war"
He prophesies that the drought c
. last summer will be nothing in CON
. parison with the one to be experien'
: ed this summer. He closed by sayin
I that a prophet who is false wi
loose his own soul.
