DEAF MAN IN BATTLE
A HERO UNDER FIRE
Unable to Hear Orders, He Faces
Silent Death Rescuing
Wounded.

London.-Some day the stretcher
bearers who are working steadily
throughout the big attack ought to
have a monument all to themselves,
They have already earned it by their
magnificent courage under terrific fire
One officer of a Manchester Pals"
regiment which fought at MametZ and
elsewhere is now in q London hospital,
his life saved by the courage of the
men who dashed through a curtain of
fire to his rescue when he fell help
lessly wounded.
He says that all the time the stretch
er bearers were doing things which
deserved the distinguished conduct
medal, and he told of at least one man
who he thinks has won it. This is q
man so deaf that he was unfit for work
in the trenches. He was cheerful
sort, and the men liked the queer
things that happened when he failed
to hear an order.
Every one but the deaf man stood to-
He took no notice.
During the big battle he was ordered

of the ground, picking up the wounded.
twisting them on to his broad back
and staggering back with them under
fire until he reached a place Of com
parative safety.
Then he went back into the thick of
it again. He was the one man in that
toiling, devoted company who did not
hear the awful clamor of the shells,
but calmly faced a silent death. The
Pals whom he has 50 often amused
are now hoping that he will get the
medal he deserves.

Forkenbrock, of Seymour, met with a
serious, and what easily might have
been, fatal accident, on Saturday
evening last. He was returning from a
call to one of his sick Pensioners, in
company with Mr. Louis Synder, who
was driving the team. The roads were
very muddy and the night dark, and
without any warning they collided with
another team, driven by the Burke boys.
Both buggies were upset and all the
occupants thrown out. Father Fork
enbrock suffered a broken nose and Mr.
Snyder was injured internally. The
Burke boys escaped with slight bruises.

More Artistic Cemeteries.

Many of the large cemeteries the
country over have stopped the indi-
vidual planting on graves. All work
is done in them by the cemetery asso-
citation. This tends to keep the GENE
teries more park-like and does away
with the scattered effect of present
planting methods. The old method
has a sentiment about it that is hard
to break away from, but the restricted
planting makes a much prettier effect.

AN AID TO CUPID
Pennsylvania Governor Plans For
Counting ParIors.
FOR THE RURAL DISTRICTS.

6rumbaugh Declares That 95 Per Cent
Of Growing Girls of State Cannot

Harrisburg, Pa.-Ninety-five per cent
of the growing girls in this state can
not cook an egg or bake a batch of
bread, and Governor Brumbaugh is go
ing to make the Pennsylvania schools
of the future take them back to the
bread pan and skillet.
Eighty per cent of the lads and las
sizes in rural sections get no chance to
become acquainted and marry, and
Governor Brumbaugh stands sponsor

said the governor, II would marry
farmer and stay on the farm. If
were a farmer boy / wouldn't do any
of my counting in town, but | would
pick out farmhouse to do my spark
ing in. That is the great trouble with
these rural communities.
"You hear lot about back to the
farm. My slogan is Stick to tho
farm. Town life is nothing much
more than the lure of five cent movies,
and you have better things right here.
1--WE want to devote our time ana
attention now to the problem of max
ing our girls, the mothers of tomorrow
fit to be wives. Ninety-fve per cent
Of the girls going to our schools don't
know how to cook an egg and can't
tell the difference between cooked
dough and raw dough They don't
know how to make Il batch OF bread,
and, while they may be strong Oh null
tiplication, they are weak on the aGdl~
ton of bread ingredients.
at is for this reason that vocational
schools are springins UP everywhere.
People realize that education is to fit
a girl for her duties, and as at least
half of our girls marry the problem
of making them ready for Wifehood
is the best problem that faces us to-
day. | realize, too, that education las
failed to provide for this, and the edu-
cation Of the future must deal with
this problem as it's highest, most inn
perative duty"
