The Gettysburg Battle.

Gettysburg! Famed in song
and story is an inspiration in
name, memory and national des
tiny that will thrill souls for all
time to come.
Gettysburg is more than a q.
gantic struggle of huge numbers.
More than a shedding of blood
for the glory of war. More than
a fierce fighting against odds on
the First Day. More than one
of the most terrifying fights that
ever took place at nIghtin timber.
More than a stubborn charge and
re-charge at the whirlpool of the
struggle. More than one of the
greatest cavalry fights ever
waged. More than a fearful ar.
tlllery duel that roared from the
throats of hundreds of cannons
And more than one of the most
spectacular infantry charges that
was evel made.
Gettysburg stands for all this
and more. Here one of the de.
clsive battles of the world was
fought and great step forward
was taken by the human race.
Famous songs, grand oratlons,

The Crops for 1911.

The government crop report
for May is generally regarded as
conveying a reliable suggestion
as to the probable wheat yield
from tall seeded grain. The
spring seeded wheat zone, which
extends along the northern bord.
er of the United States, is not
yet in condition to be reported
upon. The May report, issued
NJ Monday afternoon, indicates that
the condition Of winter wheat on
the first of the month was SG.1,
as compared with 81 on the first
of May last year, the condition
being a fraction better than the
ten year average condition. The
acreage IN winter wheat is /, $40.
600 acres greater than was har.
vested last year. When the
significance of these rations Is
worked out II means that the
present outlook is for a winter
wheat yield about 100000
bushels larger than was harvest.
ed last year.
The outlook generally seems to
be for an abundant fruit yield,
and the farming industries in

justify optimism IN other branch.

Rescued.

A few mornings ago "some.
body" sold basket of eggs at
George Hays's store. A short
time attterward Miss Nellie, who
assists her father IN the store,
was passing the crate into which
the eggs had been placed, and
her attention was attracted by a
faint little "chlp!' "chlp!" and
glancing down at the egg crate,
she noticed a little chick busy
pecklng his way out from an egg
shell and piteously pleading for a
breath of fresh air. This appeal
was not lost on Nellie, and she
promptly gave the little fellow
the needed assistance, and the
chick was soon warm under the
tender care of a mother hen
down in Georges chicken yard.
