The best suggestion we've heard
to cut the high cost of living came
from the lips of a well.known
Huntingdon woman. She says
what is needed is more thrifty
spenders and fewer spendthrifts.

DEMAND UPON FARMERS

DEMAND UPON FARMERS
Labor organizations are making
an effort to enlist the farmers Of
the country in their strike move
ments. Farmers occasionally do
TOOL Things. but we do not believe
they will ever be led into a trap
OF this kind. Mr.. Charles S. Bar
rett, one of the delegates who rep
resented the farmers in the recent
industrial congress, has made the
following statement:
Menaced BY entrenched priv
lege on the one hand and a peril.
ious red propaganda on the other.
the nation is facing the most dan.
gerous situation since the civil war.
The failure of The Industrial Con-
ference to accomplish any concrete
thing makes necessary an offens-
i've and defensive alliance between
all conservative forces of the coun-
try against the common enemy of
extremisn.
The boat is rocking, only . will
fully blind man will doubt this.

THE STRIKE SITUATION


The labor organizations seem &c

do not seem to realize that this
country is too big and too resource.
full to permit any map or set OF
men to ruin it.
They have gone so far as to
intimate that if congress should
enact laws against strikes they
would defy such laws and not be
bound BY them. When any or
ganization gets bigger than their
government such organization
should be curbed. Such declara-
tions are un-American and the out
growth of revolutionary agitatiors,
many Of whom have no sympathy
with this country or it intitutions.
Leaders of mine workers have
ordered a strike on November |.
The miners have not voted to
strike, the order comes from Off
cials of the union. To stop the
mining of coal at this time would
be great calamity to the country.
President Wilson has issued a
statement from his sick bed Of
solemn warning against the contem-
plated walkout. He says be will
regard a strike under present cir
cumstanceS as not only unjustif
able, but also unlawful" 1t would
not only be unlawful, but an act of
treason to bring about such suffer
ing as the suspension of coal
production in the winter months
would entail. The president has
given assurance that the govern
ment will be able to protect the
country against such calamity.

CANNING CLANS IN SHELL
Packer In Maine Has Tried IL and
Found II Profitable.

Canning clans In the shell is the
latest Maine industry. An experiment
was made along this line last year by
a Maine packer of f~oodstuffs, and the
results were such that he will put up
several thousand cases the present
year.
This product Is designed for the
middle West trade, which has here
tofore been regarded as impossible to
supply with clans in the shell.
Before being put into cans the she'll
fish are thoroughly cooked by what
is known as the steaming process.
They are then placed in cans sufi-
GENTLY large to carry three plates of
the size usually used at Maine shore
dinner resorts. where steamed clans
are considered the greatest delicacy.
The cans are closed in the same man
ner that any canned goods are, sealed.
To obtain best results it has been
found that the contents of a can should
be thoroughly heated by being placed
for several minutes in a dish of boil
ing water before opening.

LONGEVITY COMMON
IN BRITISH FAMILIES
Often Six to Eight Members Live
Above the Average of
IS Years.

The remarkable case of the north
country family of Calvert of which
eight brothers and sisters have
reached an average of eighty-fve
years, has had many parallels in re.
cen years in England.
The late Lady Mabella Knox was
one of nine brothers and sisters whose
aggregate ages totaled 100 years. Five
of them survived to ninety-nine, nine
ty-elght, ninety-three, nlnety-three and
eighty-nine years, respectively.
OF another family all members of
the Society of Friends, we read not
long ago that three were still living
at the ages of one hundred and one,
n~inety-one and .eighty-seven, while five,
who were dead, had counted 4lS years
among them, an average of 81 years.
Ii the members of this family had
lived consecutively instead of together
the first born would have lived as long
ago as the year 1920.
When Henry Wye, sexton at st.
Mary's church, Leicester, died not
long ago, ut eighty-seven, it was said
that two of his brothers had prede-
ceded him at the ages of eighty-seven
and eighty-five, respectively, while he
had two surviving brothers of ninety
seven and ninety-three and two sisters
OF eighty-three and eighty.
Joshua Jackson of Blackburn, who
survived to see his eighty-seventh
birthday, was n of eight brothers
and sisters, not one of whom failed
to pass the eightieth milestone. And
quite recently there were living al
Milverton, West Somerset, five broth
ers and sisters, the eldest of whom
Mrs. Shattocks, was n~lnety-two, and
the youngest, James King, just ter
| years younger.

SIOUX CITY LIVE STOCK MARKET

Sioux City, July 16.-Shippers
showed fair needs, but with the yards
filled, and without competition from
the packers, they had no occasion to
compete with each other. This, to-
gether with the fact that Chicago vas
no better than steady while Omaha
was lower, kept the best sales down
to a steady basis. In general, good
hogs were quoted steady to Toe
lower. while heavy hogs were quoted
from 10 Csc lower.
Top hogs sold at $22.25. the bulk
of good hogs sold at from $21.75@
22.00. Mixed hogs sold at from
$21.25@21.75. while most of the
heavy rough grades sold at around

WOMEN IN BUSINESS

Woman's power in America is well
illustrated by the thousands of
women who entered almost every line
of business to replace men who were
drafted during the war. Health
proved their strongest asset. Many
women, however. developed weak,
nervous conditions and could not
stand the strain of a business life.
Such women should remember there
is n tried and true remedy in Lydia
E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound,
which for forty-five years has been
restoring health and strength TO the
women of America.
