Monday in relation to registration under
the Selective Draft Law. The telegram
follows:
No 600

sus and not in proportion to the registra-
tion. The result is that every person
who has failed to register is seriously In
creasing the burden OF those who have
registered.

CITY BELLS NOW
CALL attention TO
LIBERTY BOND SALE
Begin Monday Night and Will
Continue Each N ig HI t to
Thursday Night-Bells Are
Rung for Purpose Of Asking
People to Buy Liberty Bonds

II was a fine bit of sentiment in
combination with one of PATRIOTISM IN
the four peals Of the bells in Angus
ta's churches and mills Monday night
at 9 o'clock in common with bells all
over the United States announcing
that but four days remain in which to
subscribe for the Liberty Bona loan
The bells echoed the peals of Old LID
erty Bell on Independence Hall Phila-
dephia which led the ringing for the
entire country.
Much curiosity was aroused by the
general ringing Of the bells. lnquirers
of Central at the telephone office were
told that the bells were asking peo-
ple to buy Liberty bonds and that but
four davs more remain in which to hle
subscriptions.
The idea originated with the Nation
al Women's Liberty Loan committee
at Washington who enlisted the ef-
forts of the Bell Telephone system by
which word was passed along from
| Maine to California and from the
Great Lakes to the Gulf all within a
few hours.
The following is copy Of the tele-
gram from President Theodore n. Vail
Of the American Tel. & Tel. Co. to
President Philip l.. Spalding of the
New England Tel. & Tel. Co., which
was communicated to various civic
and church committees throughout
New England:
"P. L. Spalding, President,

II have Just received the following
telegram from Mrs. William G. Nc

You can aid the committee immeas
urably by instructing your district su-

One Long, Hard Pull
of Ice Water, He Says,
Brought Him to Court

That the Irish should never, under
any circumstances, drink water, was
Iforcibly illustrated at police court
yesterday afternoon, when John Do
Ian, of Scranton, told how a long,
hard pull of ice water had been his
undoing and had landed him finally
before his honor, Alderman Nicholas.
Dolan was employed on the new
building being erected for the Evan
gelical Publishing House, at Third
and Reilly streets. and becoming very
much affected by the heat, he took
some ice water. Following this. his
actions were such that the police
gathered him in.
Judge Nicholas, who Is not Irish.
and cannot therefore be expected to
knows the ins and outs of Irish ply
siology, was skeptical about the tale
told by Dolan, and suggested that it
was not the ice water. but a mixture
of drinks, that had caused the
trouble.
Dolan, it appears, had been before
the court before, and promised 10
leave for other pastures should the
court so will, and the court willed ii
that way.

Marysville. Pa. Aug. 2s. = Miss
Thea NJ. hghtner. a vaudeville ac-

in assumpsit instituted in Perry cou-

seeks to recover money loaned to her
daughter for the purchase of prop
erty.
According to the statement of the
mother, she obtained $2.2OO for her
daughter with which to buy tbe
property on which the summer home
Is located. Some of this was return
ed, but the daughter still owes SI.S5O
to her mother. According to the
mothers statement, Thea both re-
fuses to pay the balance due and TO
give any evidence of Indebtedness,
Consequently, the suit in assumpsit
was entered to recover the S1.S6O
with interest from August II, 1917.

FREIGHT YARDS
Pennsylvania Railroad Com
pany May Employ Them to
Fill Places at Marysville

Marysville, Pa, Aug. 2S.-Girl
clerks in the offices of the Pennsyl-
vania railroad in the local preference
freight yards will be something new
for this section, but they are not
such a distant probability as. one
might think. Unofficial reports which
are receiving general credence are
to the effect that they are soon to be
employed in the offices here.
The office force here has been
short all summer and officials have
been somewhat handicapped. High
school students have been filling
many of these positions and this
fact has helped to tide matters along
thus far. With schools and colleges
opening soon, the force will soon be
depleted. Officials of the local yards
are now using every effort to round
up half dozen of male clerks. In
case of failure in this it seems GER
tain that female clerks will make
their appearance in the yard offices.

in the suspected area, and as he was
unable to give a satisfactory explana-i

given heart-to-heart talk by the
alderman. According to the magis-
trate. this city can do very nicely
without Charley, and he was request
ed to state as clearly as possible just
how long time he would require
to get out of town. Charley thought
that an hour would be about right
and his honor told him he wasn't far
wrong.
