Save Eve Lambs.-The time is ap-
preaching when the farmers begin
TO dispose of their lambs. In this
, connection, Charles E. Patton, sec
retary of agriculture, advises and
urges that the eve lambs be either
kept and the flock increased or sold
to neighbors as the foundation CT
new flocks. 1T is imperative that the
number of sheep be increased to
clothe our soldiers to say nothing of
our great civilian population" says
the secretary. Then, because of the
scarcity of other meats mutton is a
necessity. Our farmers have shown
their patriotism by making every ef-
fort to produceIhe various grain and
vegetable crops to the maximum, and
with proper encouragement will
boost the sheep industry in Pennsyl-
vania which has already made a

Automobile Revenue. - Although
new registrations of automobiles
have been decreasing the last month
or so it is believed that the total
receipts from automobile, motor
truck, motorcycle. drivers and other
vehicle state licenses will reach the
S4.000,000 mark. The income from
this course has been slowing up Late
" and there are some doubts eX-
pressed about the Capitol as to
whether this years figure will be
touched in 1919. One of the fea-
lures of the business of the automo-
bile division this year has been the
number of transfers due to sales of
used cars. More of the smaller cars
have been registered this year than
ever before, there being marked
decline in the high powered new
cars.
To Build Piers.-As a result of
conditions in the structural market
and the inability of the state to get
satisfactory bids for construction or
bridges it is probable that the work
to be authorized this fall will largely
consist of building of piers and abut-
ments. On one large bridge no bids
were received and on another one
bids came in and were rejected as
too high.

Russ Revolutionists
Split; Uproar Among
Soviets in Congress.

London, Aug. 21.-A final breach
between the two revolutionary
parties in Russia was manifest from
the opening of the fifth congress of
All Russian Soviets at Moscow early
in July, according to belated Reuter-
dispatches. Uproarius scenes and
recrimination marked the meeting.
An assertion that majority of the
people in the provinces were op-
posed to Soviet rule was made by
Maria Spiridonova of the Social
Revolutionists of the Left.

A Beautiful Art In Stone Work That
10 Passing Away.
In the American Magazine David
Grayson says:
'In dry walls think the old stone
mason takes the greatest pride Of ALL
for It Is In the dry WALL mean by
that wall laid without mortar-that
the sheer art OF the mason comes most
into play.
ANY one can throw a wall together
II he has mortar to make il stick. but
dry wall must stand out for what 1t
is, built solid from the bottom up,
each stone resting securely upon the
one below 1t and braced and nested In
by the sheer skill of the mason.
'The art OF the dry wall is the an
Gent heritage Of New England and
speaks not only Of the sincerity and
Nthe conscientiousness of the old Puri-
tan spirit. but strikes the higher note
Of beauty.
Many Of the older walls ] know are
worth going far to see. for they ex-
hibit rare sense Of form and proper
ton and are sometimes set in the land
scape with a skill that only the master
artist himself could exceed. Those old.

THEN-AND NOW

In view of certain recent events, II
Is OF more than passing interest to
recall document which excited a
Roodly part OF the worlds population
little more than four months ago
but which failed to convince any
majority OF the possibility that
Germany would come out of the war
a triumphing victor.
A brief outline of the document in
question was published in American
papers at the time, but only now has
it arrived here in the original form.
On July the Goeritzer NachrIcn
tens Prussian provincial paper of
considerable standing, contained an
article written by Count Room, a
member OF the Herrenhaus of the
Prussian diet, who told his readers
exactly what Germany would gain 10y
the war. Although the mana des-
cendant of the famous General Room
spoke unofficially and 10 nobody's
behalf but his own, the article exem
plified sentiment as it existed among
Germans ia certain leading circles up
to short time ago.
Germany, the count said, was to
demand the surrender OF the British
war fleet; the return of Gibralter to
Spain; Egypt aud the Suez canal to
Turkey; Furthermore. Great Britain
was to pour into German Golfers a
war indemnity amounting to 275, 900,
900, 600 mark, that is, about $45, OOo,-
900, 600. The interesting fact about
this stipulation is that the count in
sisted these terms be imposed upon
Great Britain as basis for an armis
tice.
Furthermore, the count said.
Germany would demand the annexa-
tion OF Belgium, the independence of
Flanders, annexation Of the Briey
and Longwy basins and the Toul,

pen to be, was undoubtedly
observed with a deeper feeling
than for many years. The bless
ings of peace restored and more
people given free government are
chief among the reasons for re-
joicing. If the observance of the day
was extended among other nations,
we would presume that even in
Germany special thanks were
offered for the dawning of a new
era of freedom-freedom from a
military autocracy, which, while
bru talizing its own subjects, had
long menaced the liberty, peace
and happiness of the world. The
future of mankind, still fraught
with chaos, looks brighter. Hence
the better feeling of security and
the special reason for the days
tina nksgiving. The devout have
offered thanks to their deity, the
gen have given, the prosper
Gus have Toasted, and far III other
lands those who best understand
the significance of the outcome of
the great war are filled with a
solemn gratitude.
