 son County

Ferguson
 The report of the pension board shows that there are at present 15,500 names on the pension rolls, a reduction of 1917 over the figures for July 1, 19l3 This reduc- tion of 1917 is the result of natural causes and the action of the state board in purg- ing the roll" says the report

 The pension examiners call attention 70 the improvement on the part of the county boards in preparing applications for pensions.
 Tt is gratifying. to observe marked improvement on the part of the county boards in the preparation of the applica- tions, and to that fact is attributable the result which shows very large propor- donate increase of the petitions granted over those rejected
 In closing the report. the board com mended the "sy ystematic, faithful and in- telligent work of its secretary, Walter B. Moore," and declared that it's duties would have been greatly multiplied and prolonged without his abors

Weather Conditions

There kas been little rainfall within the last 2i hours. The local showers thai oc- cured were confined mostly to the west ern lakes and southern Florida. -A low pressure center crossing the middle Mis- souri valley caused decided rise in the temperatures in those states, and til, 100 mark was reached at Dodge in south- western Kansas. The warm wave vii cross the central sections of the country to the Atlantic coast during the next tw, days, but will probably not be severe. We will have gradual rise over the gulf states.
 A wave of high pressure has entered tE' northwest beyond the Rockies, and has already caused temperature drop as far east as the upper Missouri valley states, but we will hardly be affected to any de' gree by this cool wave. In Alabama the prospect is for continued fair weather Sunday and probably Monday. with the temperature slightly higher.

AT PAXTANG PARK

The management at Paxtang Park
is certainly showing its patrons an
other swell vaudeville performance
this week. Nellie Brewster in her
playlet, called Betty deserves all
the headline honors the park man
agement can hand her. Miss Brewster
has a singing voice OF remarkable
quality, while the story of Betty is
humorous, entertaining and well
acted. Clara Ballereini, a young lady
of charming personality, presents a
novelty dancing and acrobatic stunt
that has made decidedly favorable
impression on the park audiences.
Miss Ballerini's trapeze work is some
what different from anything of the
kind we have ever seen at the park
before. The balance of the show is
made up of excellent material. On
Friday evening there will be another
free fireworks display at PaXtang.
The quality of the park fireworks eX-
hibitions is too well known to require
comment. Anyone who likes a strict
ly first-class entertainment of this
kind will be out at Paxtang on Friday
evening Acknowledgement.

Crops Reported at Their
Best as Business Drops
Special to The Telegraph

Washington, July 21.-Agricultural
throughout the country
show a startling contrast to conditions
IN transportation, manufacturing in
1ustries and mining, according to a re-
port upon fundamental conditions sent
by the Chamber of Commerce of the
United States to all of it's members.
This report from data gathered inde-
pendently throughout the country dis
fusSes fundamental conditions and not
the immediate state of business. The
report says:
Manufacturing is exceedingly quiet
throughout the country. Mining of
nearly all kinds suffers from strikes
and lack of demand. Lumber inter-
asts are feeling the dearth of building
especially in small towns and in the
country. The railroads, because of de-
ereasing revenues and increasing eX-
penses, have cut down their forces as
far as possible and laid off many trains
in the interest of economy.
Against these unfavorable condi-
tions the agricultural situation is most
encouraging, despite the conditions
that have prevailed more or less ex-
tensively in the Spring and Summer
in widespread sections. Widely ex-
tended rains in the latter part of
June and early in July have put a new
phase on affairs.
1T is rather remarkable that in
most sections, even in manufacturing
sections where business conditions are
at their worst, there is much optimism
and general feeling that with normal
crops there Will be very great i'm
proVement in all business matters dur
ing the remainder of this year"

MOrmons in Trouble in
Lancaster County Town
Shecinl TO The TcIeerabh

Columbia, Pa, July 22.-Mormon
missionaries who came direct from
Utah on a speaking tour, and began
an invasion of this county, came to
grief at meeting held on street
corner in Christiana, a lower end bor-
ough, where they started service and
attracted a crowd of 500 people. The
men are Jealous in their efforts for
the Mormon cause and they aroused
much enthusiasm among their hear
ers, which, however, was soon turned
into anger, when they began an at
tack on the UNCONVENTIONAL systems
represented in this section, and the
result was a near-riot. Serious trou-
BILE, however, was averted by the more
cool-headed element in the crowd. The
missionaries were escorted to their
hotel and later allowed to leave town
without hindrance. 4,
