THE NEW ACME MOVING
PICTURE PRODUCING co.

Stock is fast selling for the new
company and it will not be long before
the company will begin active opera
tons in building their nlant. 1t will
he great boom for Pleasantville and
is bound to be tremendous success,
as all the leading Moving Picture Pro-
ducing Companies cannot begin to
supply the market on account of the
great demand for new pictures; also
on account of the European War,
which stops the manufacture of all
foreign films. And even if the war
was over, it would take over a year
for their new companies to get in
shape to turn out pictures. The new
Pleasantville company being on the
ground floor, can start the minute the
buildings are completed. Mr.. Jacoby
has already secured a market for all
the pictures the new Pleasantville
Company can produce. AS Mr. Jaco-
by wants this to be home company
and would like to see all the stock held
by Pleasantville people, he has secur-
ed Mr.. William NJ. Golf to act as finan-
cjal agent, and he is handling the sale
of the stock exclusively. As
this will be strictly a Pleasantville
enterprise, everyone should become a
stockholder. 1t will be the best thing
that has ever been started in Pleas
vile and will help our new city great

MRS. MUNRO SUSTAINS
PAINFUL BROKEN ARM.
Wife of Popular Local Physician In
jured by Overturn of Automobile

DIR. and Mrs. H. C. Munro had a
frightful experience on their home
ward trip from Scottdale, Pa, last
week and miraculous escape with no
lives lost, although Mrs. Munro is
suffering with broken arm. The
party consisting of DR.. and Mrs. Mum
ro, and her two sisters were driving
up the mountain between Liberty and
Blossburg, Tioga county, Pa, and
proceeding with the greatest care ow-
ing to- the fact that there was heavy
snow which rendered the road very
slippery and dangerous when the mo-
tor suddenly stalled and the car began
to run back down the mountain.
The whole party jumped out and
endeavored to stop the car by turning
it to the side of the road Mrs. Mum
ro in taking hold of one of the front
wheels was thrown violently under
the car and one wheel ran over her
right arm.
DR.. Munro in describing the Incl
dent said "my heart fairly stood still
for moment as fully expected she
would be killed" Placing his wife in
the car the Doctor drove at top speed
to Liberty, distance of ten miles,
where he found doctors office with
its owner away from home. DIR.
Munro took the liberty granted by pro-
fessional courtesy, of taking posses
sion of the office and setting the brok-
en- arm. They then drove on forty
miles farther, to Williamsport, where
there is very fine hospital, and rest
ed there two days. From there they
came on to Philadelphia, where Mrs.
Munro was taken to st. Timothy's
Hospital at Roxborough, in order that
an X-ray examination might be made
This examination showed straight
fracture. She is now resting COM
fortably and is able to sit up.
Mrs. Munro is very popular here
and her many friends are rejoicing
over her fortunate escape from what
might have been fatal accident, and
hope for her speedy recovery.

Gus climate, 900 miles nearer the equa.

bleak coast of Labrador is directly

extremity OF Alaska. and continues
through the center of the isthmus OF
Kamchatka aud Siberia and Russia to

WATER IN COAL MINES.
Pumping II Out Costs Big Pile OF
Money Every Year.

Ii costs quite bit of money TO pump
i.000000000 tons of water out of the
anthracite mines Of Pennsylvania every
wear. but it must be done or there
'ould be no mines. In times past, col
ieries were abandoned because of in
lhility to cope with the water flowing
INTO them. but more and more pumps.
some of them costing $4,000 and S40.-
100 each. have been installed. and the
enormous amount of work they do is
all that enables the operators to keep
open the mines.
The calculation as TO the amount of
water handled in this way IS simple
The output of the mines is a little less
than 100000 tons year The av-
rrage amount of water pumped is about
fifteen tons for every ton OF coal pro
duced The cost of this is one OF the
most important elements in the in
creased cost of mining As the richer
and more accessible veins have been
exhausted. shafts have been sunk
deeper and the volume OF water TO be
pumped has increased rapidly.
The pipes. OF which there are thou.
sands OF miles in the mines. wear out
quickly because the sulphur In the
mine water eats into the iron like an
acid. This destructive quality prohib-
its the use OF the water i'm the boilers
that generate steam at the collieries.

ed to haul water TO the miDeS in tank

The forecaster determines the direc
ton OF movement OF the storm and
It's velocity.
| When weather disturbances are re
ported, the forecasters know from ex
perience about how long 1t takes them
to reach our Pacific coast, and then
how long after they will reach the AT
lantic coast. For example, if storm
coming from Siberia drifts eastward
around the North Pole and reappears
| in Alaska it should appear in Wash
ington and Oregon in about two days;
should get to the Great Lakes In six
days and to the Atlantic coast in
seven or eight days.
Unexpected conditions may delay
storms or divert them from the
straight track just as refrigerator
car may be thrown off its schedule
or be shipped by accident on wrong
road. Some of these storms deplete
themselves by running into regions
OF high barometer which are of great
err magnitude and extent than the
storm itself. Some of them, however,
travel completely around the world.
To keep tab on cold waves that
come into the United States from
Canada and Alaska, the Weather
Bureau studies the Canadian Weather
reports. England sends reports from
Iceland, the British Islands and Con-
tinental Europe. and daily reports
come from st. Petersburg on the con-
ditions in Russia and Siberia.
The same businesslike system used |
in tracing the track of storm is APP |
piled in determining the arrival of |

Flood forecasts are made in much |
the same way. Information as to |
the amount of rainfall at the head |
waters of streams that cause the
floods are covered by telegraphic re-
ports sent by local observers. AS
this rain reaches the main channel,
the height of the water in the chan

how much a height, say of 20 feet at
Dubuque, Iowa, will produce at Dav-
