Hawks Ends Engagement
After Making Many New

Sunshine Hawks left for Chicago

times in Chicago and has before him a
busy season.
Sunshine" has been a great favor
lite with the people at the chautauqua,
especially the children. The boys and
girls have been much attached to him
and he was seen at almost any time
during the day while not on the plat
form, going about with groups of chill
dren following him.
He has been on the lecture platform
more than thirty years.
Il was only boy during the war
but l can remember it very distinctly.
My father helped catch John Brown

tured myself, because l rode with my

He knows and has known personally
all the great chautauqua and lyceum
entertainers and lecturers of the past
twenty-five years. Many of the camp
ers at the chautauqua have expressed
their regret that the genial and inspir-
ing Sunshine" will not be with them
during the rest of the session.

FOR ELECTRICITY
Commissioners Seek COnnec.
ton by Poles on Property
of Railroad.

The county infirmary is almost with
out light since the T. H. l. & E. Trac-
ton company cut off the power which
supplies outside electricity for the
place.
The county commissioners are now
waiting a reply from the Pennsylva-
MIA railroad relative to the use of a
part of the railroads property for a
right of way from Centerville for the
new electric light line. A private right
of way has been secured but Francis
McMinn, a farmer, refused to permit
the erection of poles along his line
fence. The line will go around the out
side of his property.
At the poor farm, small oil lights are
being used inside and gasoline torches
outside. The building and grounds are
wired completely and only the connec'
ton is needed to light the entire place.
The commissioners expect to ask

War WRITER WARNS BRITISH
OF awful TRIALS AHEAD

(Meuse) Is hflly and wooded, which
makes scouting difficult. A squadron
of dragons which had been sent into
this region for scout duty was captur-
ed, and since then motorcycles are
being used extensively by those en-
ployed in doing scout duty.
Censor TRIMS Story.
"A strong German force estimated
the direction of Rochefort, and it is
reported that Grey Is held by Ger
man light infantry. An opinion-(a
page of the story is here missing,
evidently having been cut out by the
censor.)
THE Belgians and French soldiers
are under a severe handicap in the
matter of dress. 1t is more than a
should have taught its lesson. Ger
tainly these soldiers should discard
their blue coats and red trousers for
q more neutral color. They have COW
cred the red tops of their caps to pre-
vent them from being seen by aero
plane scouts, but the flamboyant uni
forms make fair mark Such a tar
get is all that gunner could ask for.
1.-The Germans have adopted a gray
and green uniform, which is almost
Invisible against the tint of the fields,
highways and woodlands. Although !
had a first-class glass had great diff
ficulty in locating German soldiers,
although l knew they were near at
hand.
What l have just written applies
with more force to the Belgians than
any others. A Belgian force is as
conspicuoL:~ as fiery red claret stain
upon new white table cloth.
II passed one night in an inn crowd
ed to suffocation with soldiers. One
thing that struck me forcibly was the
easy familiarity between the officers
and the men. l was surprised to hear
a major arguing violently against
some suggestion of the general of a
division. The major apparently won
his point, and was greatly elated
thereby.

HOGS RECEIVE MORE
CARE THAN PEOPLE
DIR. Geisel Demands Instruc-
ton of Mothers and HUI
man Conservation.

Human life," said DR.. Geisel, at the
chautauqua, lis the cheapest thing in
the world. Last year million and a
half people died One-half of those
might have had their life prolonged in
definitely. Three million persons are
sick in bed in America all the time. At
least one-half of this illness is prevent
able. If the people saw any use to
take care of themselves as to keep
themselves well, the savings from
sickness in one year would pay off the
national debt.
IF you want to know why l chose to
call this Pigs Is Pigs it came about
in this way. l rode into the city of
Buffalo some time ago in a passenger
coach. Just before we went into the
city, train of fine steel coaches went
past. full of pure blood hogs. Our train
was stopped for long time in the SUI
burbs and lady and myself alighted
from the car to see what the trouble
was. She left her fine three year old
boy sitting in the car. While we were
on the ground, the engineer started to
move the train, when the rotten coup
lings of the car we were in gave way
and the car received such terrible
jolt that the little lad was thrown
forward on his head and killed. AS
soon as l got hold of the superintend
ent of that division, asked him indig
nantly why they could send pigs in
fine steel cars and yet haul American
boys in rotten wooden coaches. ooh,
he said, those pigs were worth a lot
of money, you know. Pigs is pigs
You spend millions of dollars teach
ing farmers to raise hogs, looking af
ter the welfare of hogs, and the health
of hogs, but last year you didn't spend
dollar teaching mothers to raise chill
dren and you haven't got single de
partment in your national government
that looks after the health and welfare
of babies.
You have laws protecting the moth
er bird, the mother deer, the mother
fish, when they are bringing theil
young ones into the world, but you
have no law protecting the human
mother while she is preparing to bring
your future citizens into the world"
