What part shall business play?

The courage loyal and true
To back our fighting forces
And see the conflict thru?

And those at sea, must stand
The brains and craft Of business
To serve and 20 command;
To mobilize the riches
or mine and shop and farm
The nations whole resources
Which drive its fighting arm.
This is the work Of business
A job so huge and vast
To dwarfs ali other labors
Turnout the ages past;

To all that highest, best,
In love and loyal service,
Win business meet the test2

Father of Pennsylvania Woman Served
In American Revolution.
Philadelphia.-Mrs Hannah Dial of
Jacobs Creek, Pa, who probably is the
only true daughter of the American
Revolution living, celebrated her one
hundred and second birthday recently,
says a correspondent of the Pittsburgh
Dispatch. Her father, Robert Slom-
mons, served throughout the Revolu-
tionary war with distinguished rec
ord for bravery. He was a scout and
Indian fighter and was several times
captured by the Indians and put to tor
ture because he would not betray the
plans of the American army. Mrs Dial
owns an Indian tomahaWk with which
her father struck down an Indian who
attacked him from ambush.
Mrs. Dial attributes her long life and
good health to living the simple life,
with much hard work of various kinds.
She is a woman Of remarkable attain
ments and a large fund OF informa-
ton gathered from much reading.

WILD DEER AS PATIENT.
Doctor Treats Buck For Shock After
CoIlidinu With Auto.

Newton, N. J.-Dr. Whitfield Gray
state veterinarian for this section, had
the unusual experience of ministering
to wild deer. The doctor was on his
way to Huntsville, where, as in some
other parts of this county, pink eye has
become almost an epidemic among
horses. When the doctor was passing
through a stretch Of woods a buck
leaped out and tried to cross the road,
bringing up against the doctors car.
The wind shield and a mudguard
Of the car were broken, and the buck
fell unconscious. DR.. Gray treated the
animals bruises and administered a
restorative and in half an hour the
buck, still bit uncertain on his legs,
rose and walked away.
