HOG CHOLERA SERUM
REDUCED IN PRICE.

Commissioner of Agriculture George
w. koiner announces TO the farmers
of the State that he has succeeded In
securing a reduction In the price of
hog cholera serum, which hereafter
will be sold by the department at the
price of twenty cents a dose.
When the department first inaugur-
ated the policy of giving the hog
raisers of the State the benefit of the
serum at cost: the price was thirty
cents a dose. but Commissioner
Koiner kept persistently after the
manufacturers for a better rate for
Virginia and some time ago got the
price down to Twenty-Five cents. Fur
Their effort was even more successful
and beginning August the manu-
facturers agreed to make a further re-
duction OF five cents q dose in the
price. which now obtains. The re-
duction will naturally result in q great
saving to those farmers who are care
full Of their stock. and they Will ap-
preciate the Commissioners work.

Awaiting Decision on
Civic Clubhouse Gift

In its prettily bound year book for
1876, just issued. the Civic Club of
Harrisburg devotes considerable space
to the seventeenth annual report. The
report makes special reference to the
bequest to the club by Mrs. Virginia
Hammond Fleming of her residence,
612 North Front street. for use as a
clubhouse.
The gift made it necessary really to
incorporate the club and the necessary
charter was obtained from the Dau-
phin county courts. The fact, how
ever, that the club was not incor-
porated at the time it received the gift
involved a legal squabble, as the ad-
ministrator of Mrs. Fleming's estate
raised the question. The matter has
been threshed out in the Dauphin
county courts and both the admins
traitor and the club are patiently await
ing a decision from President Judge
Kunkel on the subject.

1t won't be allowed to deal with any

comic to fail to appreciate, with the
examples of Belgium before our eyes,
that the real question which modern

not how the militaristic or war-lilke
spirit within their own borders will
affect these values but how failure
on their part to resist the militarism
of an unscrupulous neighbor will af-

Chinaman of the present day is seek

There are of course persons who
