gun suit against the Michigan Rail-
ways Co. for S., 1000 for the destruction
of part of his threshing outfit last

Formal Reception.

The Federated congregations
of the local Presbyterian and Re-
formed churches, assembled in
the Reformed church last Thurs
day evening to extend formally
the "glad hand" to Rev. VIM. j.
Lowe and family-Mr. Lowe hav-
ing been recently installed a spast-
orof the joint congregations. In
addition to the federated congre-
cations just named, Rev. j. L.

P. churches in town and the
Cove, Rev. c. F. Jacobs, Of the
Lutheran Church, and Rev. Will
son V. Grove, present pastor of
the United Presbyterian church
es, were present and Joined in
happy addresses of welcome to
the new minister and his family.
The meeting was in charge of
Mr.. G. Murray Ray, a member of
the consistory of the Reformed
church, who proved himself equal
to the occasion, and the fine
music rendered by the choir add
ed to the pleasure of the audi
ence. Then last, but not least,
was the serving of an abundance
of Seylars Velvet Ice Cream and
War Wafers-great big ten-cent

The Army.

The American Red Cross has
been asked by the Army Medical
Department to secure $4,000
nurses for the Army Nurse Corps
by January l, 1918. These nurses
are needed for service in army
hospitals both in this country and
abroad.
Next to the enlistment of SOL
diers and sailors there is not a
greater patriotic duty than an
adequate enrolment of nurses.
This is the only group of women
recognized as part of the military
establishment. Upon them de-
wolves to a great degree the
health, morale and lives of the
men fighting for America. A
privilege unsurpassed in the his
tory of the world awaits the
nurses of this country.
While thousands of nurses are
n eeded by the Army Medical De-
partment, the number is relative
ly small compared with the num-
Der of women who must stand
back of them and make possible
the service for which they are so
greatly needed at this time. No
more urgent need exists today
and no factor can be more impor-
tant in the winning of this war
than adequate care of our sick
and wounded. Furses who res
pond will have the infinite salts
faction of knowing that they are
lessening the sufferings of the
men of our own county; those
bound by ties of blood, friendship
and national brotherhood.
Nurses of America your coun-
try calls youl

FlREARM LAW.
Governor Brumbaugh Calls Upon Off
GERS TO See TO It That Deadly
Weapons Be NOT Carried.

Governor Brumbaugh calls up
on all mayors, burgesses, police,
officers and all others charged
with the public safety of the
people to aid in the enforcement
Of the laws relating to the use
and possession of firearms and
other deadly weap ons. The gov
ernor asks that pains be taken
to acquaint the people of the
state with the provisions Of the
various statues that apply in the
ease. In summarizing the stat
utes now in force, he says:
THE act of March IS, 1875,
prohibits the carrying of any
deadly weapon concealed.
"The act of May 8, 1909, as
amended by the act Of July II,
1917, makes it unlawful for any
unnaturalized foreign born resi-
dent within the commonwealth
to either own, or be possessed Of
a shotgun or rifle of any make;
or pistol or firearm of any kind.
The act of June 6, 1913, pro-
hibits the discharge Of a shot
gun or rifle or frearm of any
description upon grounds of a
hospital, park or any such pub
lie resort.
"The act Of July II, 1916, pro-
hibitS the use Of a gun, cannon,
revolver or other explosive de-
vices at any wedding serenade
in this commonwealth.
with those comprehensive
measures provided by the legis-
lature, it remains but for the
constituted authorities in the
various parts Of the common
wealth to enforce their provisions
in order to insure the continu-
ance of the peace and safety of
the people, and this they are
called upon to do"

Memorial Services in McCOnneIIsbHrg.

VI the many DeauCltul Memo
rial Day services held in McCon-
nellsburg, perhaps never was one
so impressive or interesting as
that last Thursday. On account
of the Great War, the air is
charged with patriotic interest in
everything pertaining to the great
struggle now on for the preser-
vation and perpetuation Of de-
mocracy. The committee in
charge were wise in their choice
Of the speaker of the day, Rev.
DR.. Rose, Of Mercersburg, whose
only son is clad in khaki and
marching with his comrades
against the arch-enemy of liber-
ty and worldwide democracy.
DR.. Rose was accompanied to Nc
Connellsburg by the Mercersburg
Band, one of the finest musical
organizations in the State, and,
they added much to the inspira-
ton of the occasion by the excel
lent music produced-a and, it
should be said right here, that
they did not come to McCon-
nelIsburg for hire. 1t was pure
ly their desire to be able to do
their bit" in awakening the pub
lie to greater effort in helping to
win the war that they came with
out any cost to McConnellsburg
for their services and Transports
ton. As a slight token Of ap-
probation, McConnellsburg en-
tertained the band at supper at
Hotel Harris.
DR., Rose is man of fine pres
ence, a finished scholar, and a
brilliant orator, and these quail
ties combined with a burning zeal
FOR the welfare Of his country,
makes him a power for good as
he goes about addressing large
audiences in the interest of war
activities.
The formal exercises Of the day
were held in the Auditorium, and
in addition to DR.. Roses address,
M. r. Shaffner, Esq, delivered
a splendid eulogy in honor of
those connected with our local
post who had passed away during
the year, namely, Vet. John H.
Truax, Vet. A. V. B. Souders,
and President of the Soldiers Re-
lief Corps, Mrs. S. B. Woollett.
Lincoln's Gettysburg Address
was delivered by Ruth, daughter
of Hon. and Mrs, S. W, Kirk,
and a poem written by William S.
Clevenger, entitled "A Tribute
to the Boys of '61 and '1S," was
delivered by his daughter Amy.
The girls who did the reciting,
did splendidly" is what every
one said; and when the audience
realized that the author of the
beautiful lines was none other
than our own Billy Clevenger,
the applause was as generous as
it was deserving.

ant Livingston, who is in the Unit
ed States aviation service in France.
writes TO his mother, Mrs f. A.
Livingston. of Moline, of his hav-
ing gone through many attacks
with only receiving several bullet
holes in his planes. He has cross
ed the line nearly every day since
June 1 and adds that most planes
are shot down while executing the
infantry contact during these at
lacks. The letter continues:
In this last attack l had the
honor of being the first plane out,
so naturally l saw the boys jump
from their shelters and start
across No Mans land jdst behind
the well laid artillery baTrage. L
was 4 wonderful spe .tacle-ny
writings cannot describe it.
My chief difficulty was running
our own artillery fire, which was
tie most intense ever heard or wit
ressed in this sector. From the
Papers you know where 1 am fight
ing. This attack is called the sec
oru American attack, and as I have
gone through both you will I'M
j0ubtedly know my location. l am
now flying over the same country
over which / used to drive my am
bulance.
Up to date I have been attack
ed four times-I mean IN the at

siOns does an observation plane

ELECTION DEC.3
0NRECALLF0RM
Ordinance Introduced to Commits
sion Today TO Vote on Alder
manic Government Soon.

A special election will be held III
Moline on Dec. >, to vote on the re-
turn of the aldermanic form of gov
eminent for the city of Moline, as
petitioned by the Anti-commission
league several weeks ago. An eIeL-
ton ordinance was introduced at
the meeting of the Moline city COM
mission this morning.
The petition filed with the city
clerk is said to have been initiated
by Moline Socialists at a session of
the local Socialist organization
some time ago. Several months lat
er the petition with the signatures
of more than two thousand voters
was filed with c. V. Johnson, city
clerk. The city commission con-
tends that Socialists are backing
the petition to avenge the city for
denying them permit to hold street
meetings.
The election is estimated By
Commissioner Johnson of the de-
partment of accounts and finance
to cost the city approximately
$500.
The proposition to be voted on at
the Dec 3 election will go on the
ballots as follows.
Shall the city of Moline abandon
its organization under the commits
sion form of municipal government

Final action as to the election will
be taken by the city next week.
