4, 844 or lat per cent. During the
month, Cleveland placed 1887 per-
sens, Toledo ], ,793, Columbus | oil
Cincinnati 779, Youngstown 606,
Akron Sal, and Dayton 507.
The daily average number Of
persons seeking employment thru

The State City Free Labor Ex-

supply the employer with the best
help available and to supply the
applicant for work with the best job
which can be secured. Applications
for help or applications for work
may be made to the nearest Ex-

Use Bank Checks And
Printed Letter Heads.

Let the banker be your book
keeper. A Cancelled check is a
good and double receipt. The
check and its stub are both silent,
sure witnesses that you paid the
bill if any one disputes. The far
mer ought to have check book
and his name and address printed
on the checks. That is the way
the business man does it. The far
mer must learn the art of being a
business man.
Farmers are getting printed let
ter heads. They are adding their
wife's name. They also add the
name of the bank at which they
do business. It's both dollars and
sense. The best credential far
mer can have is the name of his
bank printed on his letter heads.
Try it. Mr.. Farmer. 1t costs
little It's worth lot. The Ae.
ricaltural Commission believes that
it is the farmers duty to be a busi-
ness man in every sense of the
word.

lrsn Business Increases.

Cleveland, Aug. Ga local pub
licatiop devoted to the iron and
steel interests says that the demand
fer irsn and steel for uses not con-
nected with the European war is
steadily increasing. This refers to
especially to automobile companies
not catering to war business and
large manufacturers of agricultural
implements. 1t is stated that one
OF the largest independent concerns
in the Pittsburg district, now oper-
ating at IS per cert of its capacity
believes that 70 per cent of its or
ders represent domestic consump-
tion.

Horse Races
Will Be One Big Feature
LabeT Day.

Two good horse races will be
enc of the big features of the La
Dor Day picnic at the Fair Grounds
this year. The committee is work
ing hard to get good horses on the
track. Large purses will be offered
by the committee to get them here.
Thousands of people in this country
love a good horse race and they
will not be disappointed if they at
tend the picnic on Labor Day.
The country store committee re
ports that they are receiving thou
sands of beautiful and handsome
prizes and anyene patronizing this
store will receive their full weight.
There is always much amusement
connected with the country store
and this year will be no exception.
The parade in the morning pro-
misses to be the largest ever held In
this city by the labor unions. Fully
thirty unions affiliated with the Co.
operative Trades and Labor Coun-
Gil will take part. Several of these
unions have tripled themselves In
membership and this will make the
parade much longer.
Owing to the increase in mem
bership of labor organizations thu
committee has contracted with
three bands for the parade instead
of two which were fermerely en-
gagged. The Imperial Band of thi.
city. the Middletown Band of Mid
dletown, Ohio, and the Eaton BanG
of Eaton Ohio will furnish the mu
sic. All are first class bards anc
twenty five men will constitute tn,
Eaton Bard. This is the first tim,
that this band has been engaged By
the Labor Day committee and W,
are informed they are all musicians
|, The refreshment committee a
the last meeting reported that ther
will be plenty of good things to ca
and drink on the grounds and the,
invite the trade unionists and thei
: friends to come early and stay al
day.
The Grand Marshal and his as
sistants are very much encourage
at the showing the different labo
/ unious are making in preparing 70
. the big parade. Many of the local
will be uniformed and all will hav
: their marshals in line. There ar
few unions that have neglecte,
to elect their marshals. The grant
marshal urges these unions to sent
in their names at once so they cal
be properly placed.
There is no disputing the fac
that Hamilton is going to have on,
of the largest celebrations eve,
held.

LIKE all other organizations the
unions are also infested with few
drenes who never do anything but
reap the benefit frem the work oi
others. 1t is our duty as trade un.
ionists to get these drones to do
their portion of the work. 1t can
be done if they are properly ap-
preached.

ONE OF the most important
branches of the labor unions in the
Third Congressional District of
Ohio is the Labor Legislative
League of Butler, Preble and Mont
gomery counties. All labor laws
and labor legislation for or against
the laboring class is taken up by
this organization and thoroughly
discussed. The League is made
up of FIVE delegates from Dayton,
FIVE from Middletown and FIVE from
Hamilton Central Bodies. The
organization meets in regular ses-
sion every three months unless spe-
cially called. That the League has
done good work for the trades un
ienists in the Third Congressional
District can not be disputed, but
nevertheless we occasionally hear
of some uncompromising individual
who will rise up in his might and
give the League a belt in the Stats.
The best cure for this individual is
to elect him a delegate ard give
him a course in true unionism
something that he has been lacking
for a long time,

entitled to free labor exchange,
but on account of the difference in
the political atmosphere there is no
chance of getting one.

RAILROAD NEWS.
Bids for the Construction Opened Tues
day and Contracts Awarded to
HazIetOn Company.

At a meeting of the directors
of the McConnellsburg and Fort
Loudon Railway Company, held
in this place Tuesday, five bids
for the construction work were
opened and considered. The bid
of the Reed Construction Compa-
ny, of Hazleton, Pa, was accept
ed, and Mr.. Reed is expected
here to-day to sign the contract
to clear theright-of-way, grade
the roadbed, lay the ties and rails,
and erect the poles to carry the
feed wires. Representatives of
rail mills are here to bid for the
furnishing of the steel rails. A
contract for $4,000 ties and 300
poles was let Tuesday to A. B.
Rider, of Fort Loudon. This sup
ply of ties and poles will reach
from Fort Loudon to the old toll
gate on the Loudon pike.
AS to the day to be set for the
formal beginning of construction
work, it will depend upon Mr..
Reed to determine how soon he
can get ready; but it is thought
that one week will be sufficient
time, and the directors feel sure
that it will not be later than May
18th.

Banks Pay Three.

Four years ago, the McCon-
nellsburg postoffice was made a
postal savings deposit office. Ex-
postmaster Woollet kept up the
formal reports during all that
time without receiving a single
applicant to start an account. A
few days ago, the Department
concluded that further work on
the part of this Office along that
line was useless, and all papers
were ordered returned. Postal
deposits receive but 2 per cent.
interest, while banks pay 8, and
this is probably the reason why
no deposits We're made here. In
other towns, the patrons of post
al savings department seem to
be chiefly foreigners.

County Gets $4,000.

1t will be seen by Mr.. Mellow
ell's letter elsewhere in this pa
per, that by July, twenty coun-
ties in the state will have secur-
ed Farm Counselors-or Exten-
sion Agents as they are now call
ed. The State, and United States
government, jointly pay the sal
ary. and the county pays expen-
ses, which in our case, would
amount to perhaps, 25 cents per
farmer. For every year that a
county postpones the securing Of
one of these agents, it loses not
less than $4,000, and in some cas-
es, $4,000. 1t is like losing mon
ey because we would not stop to
pick it up in the road.

A Word TO CORRESPONDENTS.

Almost every week we receive
letters from correspondents tell
ing all the news except that of
deaths. Since no more import
ant news can happen than that
of a death, we often wonder why
our regular correspondents do
not tell us of the same-tell US at
least, who died. This gives us a
chance to learn the particulars in
time for publication in case our
correspondent cannot give all of
them. The moment you here of
a death, take one of the stamped
envelopes we furnish, or call us
by phone at our expense, tell who
died, when he died, age, and as
much as you can about the de-
ceased; but by all means tell us
promptly that death has oc-
Cured, and who it was. For
this reason we furnish stamps.

AUTOMOBILE BURNED.
Was Descending East Side Of Cove Noun
tain Last Sunday When Gasoline
Tank Took Fire.

The Elmore Garage Company
of Greencastle kept big six-cyl-
inder Franklin for hire. Last
Sunday morning Fred Baker, of
Chambersburg hired the machine
to bring a party of friends, three
women and two men to McCon-
nellsburg. Earl Pentz, of the
garage came along to do the driv
ing and the trip to McConnells-
burg was made without incident.
Returning they crossed the noun
tain on the Chambersburg pike,
and when about a mile and a half
this side of Fort Loudon, the ma
chine suddenly caught fire. For
tunately it was discovered and
the occupants of the car were
able to get out of the danger zone
before the gasoline exploded.
There were about 20 gallons in
the tank this went off with a
bang.
After the explosion, Chauffeur
Pentz bravely set about saving
some Of the parts, He took of
three of the wheels, the Klaxon
horn and lamps before he was
compelled to stop working be-
cause of the fire. The machine
was entirely consumed.
1t is thought that the fire start
ed when the gasoline tank leaked
a little and the heat from the
foot brakes ignited the fluid.

TAKEN TO HOSPITAL.
Donald Polk Thrown From Horse Last
Sunday on West Side Of Scrub
Ridge. Jaw Broken.

Donald Polk, aged about six
teen years, son of Seymour Polk,
lives in the old Hessler home with
Miss Fannie and her mother on
Timber Ridge. Last Sunday in
descending Scrub Ridge noun
tain between Christ Deshong's
and George W. Morton's, his
horse, perhaps, stubbed pitching
Donald violently forward to the
ground. 1t was found that the
young man was seriously injured
and he was taken to the Hessler
home by Mr.. Morton. Frank
Skiles, a neighbor who owns an
automobile proffered his services
and brought the young man to
town, tucnel him over to DIR.
Mosser, who at midnight with 0.
/. Greathead, lurried him on to
the Chambersburg hospital. An
examination showed thatDonald's
lower jaw had been fractured on
both sides, and he was left in the
hospital for further treatment.
DR.. Palmer, of the hospital
called up DR.. Mosser by phone
Tuesday and told him that Don
AIDS jaw had to be reset, and
that while the young man was
not very comfortable, by patient
ly waiting, the jaw would become
all right. AS it is now, the jaw
is held rigid by bandages, so that
Donald cannot speak, chew any
food, nor move the jaw in the
slightest manner. All the nour-
ishment he will get will be liquid
which must be administered
through a tube.
