culated through the efforts of j. o.
Felker and Thomas S. Johnson and
already there are more than 500 sign
ers. Only part of the town has been
covered, so that indications are that
there will be at least 1000 names on
the Lewistown petition by the time the
meeting is called. There will be 700
or 1900 names on the petitions cir
culated in the surrounding towns, so
that it is reasonable to believe that
the petitions coming from Lewistown
and the territory round about will con-
tain at least $500 signers, and all of
these people will be in favor of having
the William Penn Highway pass over
the old turnpike route to Mill Creek
and along the Juniata river.
Just how the Lewistown delegation
will be selected has not yet been de-
cided, but it is possible that a meeting
will be called of the boosters and at
that time delegates will be chosen. At
that meeting, too, some program
which will show why Lewistown
should be placed on the route and also
the advantages of the river route will
be mapped out.
The plan Of the Lewistown folks is
to have tourists enter the borough at
Main street and then travel to Monu
ment Square, turning to the left into
Market street and then travelling over
well-paved streets to the old turnpike
at the end of Market street.

WANT COUNTIES TO

Southwestern Sportsmen Are
Planning Some Extensive
Game Stocking

According to word that comes
from Connellsville petitions are being
circulated in that city and in Union
town, Greensburg and Scottdale, as
well as other places in Fayette and
Westmoreland counties, seeking to
have the closed season on deer eX-
tended to the Fall of 1918. Members
of the Wild Life League are back of
the movement. j. c. Munson, of
Connellsville, secretary of the North
Fayette branch of the league, has sug-
gested that a ban be placed on killing
wild turkeys for another two years,
and this may be included in the petit

lending every effort. In Lewistown
petitions are being circulated and by
the time the meeting in Harrisburg is
opened the names of one thousand
businessmen of the borough will be
affixed to the papers.
Petitions have also been sent to
towns round about Lewistown, includ-
ing McVeytown, Strode's Mills, Matta-
wanna. Lewistown Junction and
Granville. and these petitions not
only ask that the highway pass
through Lewistown. but also through
the other towns mentioned which are
west of Lewistown. After Lewistown
is officially placed on the route there
are two ways by which Huntingdon
can be reached. One route leads
through Burnham. Yeagertown and
Reedsville. thence through the Kisha-
coduillas Valley to Mill Creek and
across to Huntingdon. From Mill
Creek to Reedsville there is a State
built road. and from Reedsville to
Lewistown there is toll road. This
stretch is six miles in length and
autoists are charged 45 cents toll. This
portion, however, is in good condition
and inasmuch as the State has de-
toll roads It Will mean that Lcwistown
will have a good route to Mill Creek
by way Of Reedsville. Because of this,
residents of LewistoWn are working
for a road which they are not so sure
of getting but which would pass
through a much prettier stretch OF
country after leaving the borough.
The route to Mill Creek would also be
somewhat shortened, too. This road
would follow the old Philadelphia and
Pittsburgh turnpike along the Juniata
river to McVeytown and then to a
point near Newton Hamilton and to
Mount Union and Mill Creek. The
road along the river at the present
time is not in very good condition,
but Lewistown folks want the State to
secure it and build highway so that
they will have easy access to the towns
along the river and towns which are
| touched by the Pennsylvania railroad
on its route to the West. The river
route has by far many more beauties
in store for the tourist than has the
route through the Kishacoquillas VAL
| ley. and then, too, it passes through
more important towns
Residents of Reedsville. Yeagertown
and Burnham are desirous that the
highway pass through their towns. but
! they are making q determined effort
! ia offset the route through McVey-
| towK, for with the construction of a
good road along the course of the old
turnpike they, too, would have another
good road to the West, and hence they
are signing the petition which has
| been headed by Lewistown residents.
| In McVeytown plans are being made
for big meeting to show just to what
extent the residents want the highway,
and at this session, according to the
plans, a delegation of citizens will be
appointed to attend the Harrisburg
meeting.
Selecting Delegation
| Although final plans for sending a
delegation of Lewistown citizens to
Harrisburg on March "a to attend the
| big meeting of those interested in the
proposed William Penn Highway have
not vet been made, some arrangements
will be made within tho next week or

ton which will be forwarded to the
State Game Commission.
1t is expected that within the course
of few weeks a lot of deer viii be
placed in the Indian Creek valley in
Fayette. Efforts are being directed to
have a herd of 80 purchased by the
State from a private preserve near
Uniontown, liberated north of the
Youghiogheny river for the reason
that if they were placed south of the
stream they would soon find their way
into Maryland and West Virginia.
Secretary Munson has been notified
that 20 to % ringneck pheasants and
10 wild turkeys are to be received
soon, also. With the State stocking
that section with turkeys, he contends
that 1t would be unwise to permit
shooting them at once.

good roads which she now has and
eight years after the agitation which
led to the enactment of the Sproul bill
finds the progressive citizens of this
territory again urging the enactment
of measures for additional good roads.
Towns Connected
Lewistown and Miffiintown are pre-
senting just reasons why they should
be placed on the William Penn High
way. They are both county seats and
both situated in the very heart of eX-
ceptionally good farming communities.
The two towns are connected with
Road No. l of the Sproul good roads
bill and this highway runs through one
of the most picturesque stretches of
country in the world, the Lewistown
Narrows. No artist could portray the
grandeur of the scenes in this wonder
full country. The great high noun
tains on either side of the blue Juniata
lend the appearance of the palisades
of the Hudson to this twelve mile
stretch. The Juniata winds and turns
majestically through the mountains
and the progress of its flow and the
beauty of it's course have been told in
song and story.
Tourists from the East and West
could find no prettier spot than the
Narrows through which to travel and
then, too, another interesting fact is
that the towns at either end of the
Narrows are among the busiest and
most progressive in Pennsylvania.
Both are manufacturing towns and
shipping points for hundreds of people
so that within the course of a very
few miles tourists can see both the
beauties Of nature and the CONNER
cial life of Industrious inland towns.
To Send Big Petition
And to put both Miffiintown and
Lewistown on the route, enterprising
citizens in both of those towns are

A SIMPLE METHOD FOR RETAIL
ERS TO INCREAST THEIR TRADE,

In the March American Magazine
a woman tells of a suggestion she
made as the result of a butchers in
difference.
"T don't wish to complain about
your service, she stated to the man
ager,' but 1 should like to tell you
how to improve it - at least in my
town.
"The manager smiled in a wearied
sort of way and resignedly asked,
'Well?'

chase of pork chops that he does to
one who buys a two-dollar leg of
lamb. Your man is a good butcher
but he is hurting trade by humiliating
your poorer customers. His method
of obtaining big sales will result in no
sales.
"The manager to her surprise
jumped up and grasped her by the
hand. Thank YOU he said, for the
sanest criticism that has come to me
for weeks And he gave her good
job then and there"

HOW THEY SAY IT IN SOUTH
AMERICA

The mission schools in South Am
erica yield a rich harvest of mis-
takes in English, such as are always
imminent because of the close similar
ity between Spanish and English. The
consonants "b" and "v' in Spanish
are practically interchangeable. A
teacher having given some dictation
to her class was, therefore, not so
astonished as amused to have it come
back to her:
"Then give to the world the
vest you have,
And the vest will come back
to you"
The same teacher has kept a col
lection of some other slips which need
no explanation. Il don't could; "a
pigeon with a rag tied around it's
paw; "My father is very thick; my
watch is not we'll; it is anticipate; ;
Il have to wash my hair very often
because it is so fat"
Two other mistakes probably arise
from a confusion of somewhat similar
words rather than from the Spanish
reaction TO q Puritan Sabbath Re
member the Sabbath Day to keep it
hollow; 1.-The Lord bless the Sab
bath Day and howled it," World
Outlook.

Deadly RaiTdrops.

The fiercest bOmbardment conceiv-
able would not be nearly so destructive
to human life as an ordinary shower if
it were not for the protective covering
of our atmosphere. We live, move, and
have our being at the bottom of an air
room 40 miles or more deep. There
fore, we are safe, not only from fail
ing raindrops, but from meteorites and
other wandering bodies from outer
space. But, supposing that it were
possible for human beings to exist in
an atmosphere that rose only to a
few feet above their heads, and that
stormclouds could form in the region
outside such a lOw-grade atmosphere,
then every raindrop would prove as
fatal to earthly creatures as if it were
steel bullet fired from a dynamite
gun. AS it is, however, the resistance
of our atmosphere so materially re
duces the rate at which the raindrops
fall that they are harmless; though
were it not for the hindrance they en-
counter from the air each drop would
fall with q velocity great enough to
penetrate the full length of a grown
mans body.

Early Days of Return to Convalescence
. Are Things That Linger Long
in the Memory.

The return from illness to health is
like coming up from dive, suppos-
ing the time from when the swimmer
first sees light through the water I'M
til his head rises to the surface to be
the affair of weeks. The change in
physical condition may be slow, but
the change in Orientation takes place
in a twinkling and is complete. The
eye no longer looks down into I'M
plumbed deeps, but back toward the
light of day; curiosity for the ulti-
mate yields to a golden memory of
familiar things-friendS, household
goods, books, barking dogs, the fresh
ness of grass and trees. The body has
reasserted itself. The dreaming i'm
agination is dragged away from its
goal by the galloping senses. Eye,
ear, touch, taste, start upon ram
page. Especially does the appetite for
food wax furious, discovering itself
endowed with power to transform a
coddled egg into something rich and
strange, and to illumine chicken broth
with a charm that no art can equal.
The universe, lately shrunk. to the sick
room, now rises again like the genie
out of the bottle in which he had been
imprisoned; the sickrOom becomes a
house of detention, and at its doors,
as in il seashell clapped to the ear,
the convalescent hearkens Io all the
rumors of the outer WOrld.-Henry
Dwight Sedgwick, in the Atlantic.

Oriuin of Yankee"

If we are going to accept the plaus-
ible theory, as many have done already,
that the name "Gringos," which Mex
leans give 20 the people Of the United
States, had it's origin in the fact that
soldiers from the latter country adopt
ed as their marching song, Green
Grow the Rushes," placing emphasis
on the first two words of the chorus,
during the war of the fOrties between
the two nations, then it will not be
difficult to accept the theory that yam
kee" had it's origin in the attempt of
the Indians to pronounce the word
English in the early days Of Ameri-
can settlement. The nearest the ma
tives could come to it, it is said, was
''Yengeese," and the transition from
this to yankees" was easy. There are
people in the United States who pro-
nounce yankees" very nearly that
way now.-Christian Science Monitor.

Woman Wireless Operators.

The fact that a large number Of
women in the war zone are rendering
valuable service as wireless operators
has emphasized the fact that wireless
telegraphy is vocation to which wom-
en- can easily adapt themselves. Miss
Kathleen Parkin of San Rafael, Cal,
recently received a frst-grade radio OPP
orators license from the United States
government. She is only fifteen years
old and in her third year of high
school. Miss Granelia Parker Of
Florida is the first woman to act as
universal operator. She is in charge
of the radio set of the Clyde liner Mo-
hawk. When the navy department
recently issued it's countrywide call
for wireless operators who would be
available in time of war a large num-
Der of women answered, among them
social leaders in several cities. Wire
less operating was an important
branch of the work of the women's
preparedness camp during the past
summer, and a number of competent
operators are available as a result.
