IN ME MORIAM

Resolved, That in the death of Lol-
lie Riley Holmes, (Mrs. R. L. Rhy-
mes) which took place in Memphis
at 2 o'clock Monday afternoon, May
21st, we as a missionary Society of
the M. E. Church of Macon and as a
band of friends, have suffered a sad
bereavement.
AS a member of the Woman's Mis-
sionary Society she was faithful in
her interest and services. When
circumstances would permit, she was
always present at the meeting and
performed well her part in the ad-
vancement and work of the Society.
AS a member there was none more
faithful than she; as an officer there
was none more efficient. She felt
the work Of the Society to be Gods
work and therefore her responsible
ity, and she held herself in readiness
always to do what the Father COM
manded.
AS a church member she loved her
church, she attended upon its ordi-
nances, and supported literally its
institutions.
In Christian character she was a
shining light. Her presence seemed
always to bring with it a blessing.
Her smile shed its joys to human
hearts as the sunbeam may illumi-
nate dark places. Her wa
kind and gentle and none knew her
but to love her, none spoke of her
but to praise. Her life was lived in
the spirit of the Master and all who
knew her are better for her having
lived.
To her father, mother, brothers,
sisters, husband and little children
we extend u deepest sympathy as
from Gods presence she looks back
upon them, we pray that she may be-
hold them comforted in the faith
that she has gone to heaven. She
may not come back to them but
they may go to her. "Pe thou
faithful unto DEATH" saith "the first
and the last, which was dead, and is
alive" land l will give thee a
crown of life"

BUYS JERSEYS

Letter from J.. E. Morris, Fielt
Agent for the American Jersey Cat
tie Club, to G. G. Mingee. County
Demonstration Agent for Lee Coun
ty:
Mr.. G.. c. Mingee,
County Agent,
Tupelo, Miss.
My dear Mr.. Mingee:
! have just returned from the
Stockyards where your cattle are be.
ing t%uberculin tested and ! feel sc
elated over the splendid purchase
that you have made that / deem il
no more than proper and just to
write you my sentiments.
Now, Mr.. Mingee, when you came
and told me that you were limited
as to the price that you could afford
to pay for your Jersey cattle ]
thought it absolutely impossible to
get together a carload of cattle that
had any merit to them within your
limits. However, / see after look
ing them over with the critical eye
of a judge that more credit is due
you in the purchase of this cattle
than will be considered by the people
to whom they will finally go.
have always believed and now am
assured of the fact that one half of
a mans profit is in the buying and
/ know that some of the cows in this
Shipment would bring $4,000 with
out any trouble, and the majority of
the heifers would average around
$1,000
was particularly pleased with the
prospect of about nine or ten of the
bred heifers that you purchased for
it is just this kind of cattle that are
being sold at $125.00 each. So /
cannot see in that particular case
why the breeders has turned them
loose at a price within your limits.
No doubt you are aware that in
shipping cattle, as with all other
live stock that for a day or two after
their arrival they are unusually
gaunt or rough looking, however, in
a week or ten days they will fill out
and be in first class shape.
l shall be indeed pleased to nave
you send any of your friends to me
that may purchase cattle for them
in our state for l can assure you
that they get full value TO: their
money.
Trusting your shipment viii go
through in good shape and that ]
will have the pleasure of seeing you
again in the near future, 1 an,
Very truly, yours,
(Signed) j. E. MORRIS
All farmers interested in getting
a Jersey COW or heifer at a very rea-
sonable price are invited to come
and see the herd which is at the Fair
grounds.

Local Railroad and
Brotherhood Officials
Silent on Strike Order

officials of the Pennsylvania rail-
road and Reading Railway Company
first learned through the Harrisburg
Telegraph of the proposed plans of
the Brotherhoods to strike.
No statement was made as to the
course to be pursued here in the event
of strike.
While none of the officials would
commit themselves as to the probable
outcome, it was intimated that no ac-
ton would be taken until more definite
information was at hand.
Members of the legislative boards
of the Brotherhood of Railroad Train
men and Order of Railway Conduc-
tors whose headquarters are at Room
205 Calder Building, were also non
committal as tothe outcome. The gen
eral belief was that nothing could be
done at this time except wait for the
result of the conference in New York
on Thursday.

HARD TO FIND
U. S. SAILORS
Aliens Afraid to Go to Home
Ports Even on American
Ships
BY Associated Press

New York, March 13. - Prepara-
tons to send out American merchant
ships armed and guarded against sub.
marines have revealed possible
shortage of American sailors. 1t is
understood that the American line,
of whose passenger vessels has sailed
from Europe since tn beginning of
the German blockade, will need two
thousand men. GtIstave A. Braun,
secretary of the Atlantic district of
the International Seamen's Union of
America, expresses doubt that so
many men can be furnished by he
union at short notice.
Other difficulties, according to Mr..
Braun, may arise from the fact that
many of the union seamen ar not
American citizens. Some are Ger
mans; others are citizens of the en-
tente nations and. reluctant to go to
ports where they might be held for
army service. Six thousand of the
union men, Mr.. Braun said, expect to
go TO the Great Lakes where naviga-
ion VIII open next month.
The union will meet tomorrow
night to consider the offer of the In
ternational Mercantile Marine, own
er of the American line, of SO per
cent. bonus. The union has demand
ed a 70 per cent. bonus. The steam
ship company also promises to take
cars OF the dependents of seamen who
may lose their lives in service, to ir-
sure their clothes in case of loss an
to assure them transportation back to
New York if their vessels are sunk.

NO ACTION ON
TAX QUESTION
Mechanicsburg Council Post
pones Proposition 10 With
draw Trolley Suit

Mechanicsburg, Pa, March 13.-As
result of strong public sentiment,
backed by many of the most promi-
nent businessmen and citizens of town,
headed by Burgess Mishler, the Bor-
ough Council, last evening. by vote
of to 8, postponed indefinitely ac-
ton on the resolution proposing that
the borough, through It's attorneys,
withdraw proceedings already insti-
tuted for tho collection of unpaid
franchise taxes duo tho borough from
the Valley Railways Company, Tho
council chamber was crowded when
the meeting was called to order by
councilman Fish, acting for tho presi-
dent, Mr.. karns, who was absent on
account OF sickness.
burgess Mishler appeared before
Council and strongly protested against
any passage of the resolution before
the Council to withdraw the equity
proceedings scheduled for March 90.
he declared that to pass this resolu-
ton would be to dismiss the bor-
ough's attorneys and let the interests
OF the citizens go TO the four winds"
None or the councilmen spoke on the
Shaub resolution, except Fish and Ir-
vine, the former making several at
tempts to forestall its passage as by a
suggested amendment that the ques-
uon be submitted to the vote of the
people at the November election,
which, 1t was pointed out, could not
be DONE
Councils action last evening Is an
0ther chapter in u contest which has
TASTED Tor number of years, dating
back to 1911, when the borough coun-
Gil, acting under clause in the ordi-
nance granting tho trolley company,
then the Cumberland Valley Elec-
trio Company, the franchise to use the
streets OF the town, passed an ordl-
nance which fixed the tax to be paid
by the company at $1,000 per annum.
The trolley company at once went into
court, seeking to have this ordinance
declared Illegal and void, as unrea-
sonable and excessive, but in Il deciS-
ion handed down by Judge Porter, of
the Superior Court and affirmed on
appeal to the Supreme Court. the
court decided that Judge Gillian, called
IN TO try the case, had been correct in
holding the lower court without juris-
diction in tie matter, and the Superior
Court went on to say that the exercise
or the taxing power in question was
a perfectly valid one.
The borough then instituted an ac-
ton to secure payment of this annual
tax, and this suit has never been de-
cided, chiefly due to the fact that the
trolley company began equity proceed
ings to enjoin the borough from col
lecting the tax. 1t is this latter piece
of litigation which is to be argued
on the goth of this month.
The borough's action at law is to
recover the back taxes since 1911, with
interest, now amounting to about
$4,000. The whole matter now rests
on the outcome of the equity proceed
ings on the goth of this month.

Druggist Tells How
To Stop Indigestion
Recommends to Stomach Sufferers the
Best Remedy In Harrisburg To-day

1T is a wonder some of us have
stomachs left" remarked a well-known
drug clerk recently. while ali drug
stores sell score or more of stomach
remedies for which there is a wide de-
mand, most of them are just pepsin
pills which aid or artificially force di-
gestion of the food that is in the stom-
ach at the present time. They have no
curative or strengthening effect on the
stomach at all, and of course do not
reach or cure the cause So the same
people keep on coming here and buying
and using them until they are real
chronic dyspeptics. When anyone really
asks my advice l swear by and rec
ommend ordinary bisurated magnesia,
which doesn't digest the food at all but
acts as an antacid and sweetens the
sour, fermenting contents of the stom-
ach. That stops the pain. heartburn.
sour rising, gas bloating, fullness, etc.
in just few minutes, and the stom-
ach digests it's food without help or
trouble, which is the proper way.
'Of course there are many kinds of
magnesia but people who have stomach
trouble should insist on getting ii in
the form of Bisurated Magnesia This
comes in powdered form and in tablets
never as liquid or milk. a lot of
bisurated magnesa is sold in Harris
burg. All druggists have it and a teas
poonful in a little water after every
meal will quickly relieve almost any
case of acid indigestion. Geo. A. Gorgas
can supply you.-Adv.

German Troops and
Women in Big Riots
Rr Associated Prcss

Amsterdam, March 13. = Serious
disturbances among the German troops
in the vicinity of Namur and Huy are
reported by the TELEGRAPH. The paper
says that only fragmentary reports of
the trouble have reached Holland, but
that it is known that such large num-
bers of soldiers have been imprisoned
at Namur and Huy on charges of in
subordination in connection with the
outbreak that the prisons in the two
towns are crowded to four and five
times their normal capacity.
The Telegram also publishes an ac-
count of further food riots in Barmen
in which the chief of police was seri-
ously wounded by the stones of the
women rioters. The account says that
the police were helpless and that even
the troops failed to dispense the
rioters who were finally got in hand
by firemen turning the fire hose on
them.
