button campaign amounts to 81 ,29O to

Fred. Mansfield, of Tacony. Pa, was
severely squeezed between the King
street drawbridge and the cabin roof of
launch upon which he was riding on
Saturday evening. He was taken to
the Burlington County Hospital,
where it was ascertained that he was
injured very slightly He left the in
stitution on Sunday evening. He had
come up the Rancocas creek in a
launch with party of friends, and
was seated on the cabin roof He evil
IDENTIFY did not notice that there was
not sufficient clearance under the
bridge, SO he got pinched sufficiently
to make him speechless. He was re-
turned soldier from France, where he
lost leg in the battle of Verdun.
Someone down in Delaware has dis
covered at the bottom OF the farm silo
what may prove to be fairly satisfac-
tory substitute for the whiskey, beer
and other Intoxicating drinks that are
to be outlawed in few weeks. AT the
bottom of the silo after it has been fill
ed, there is to be found quantity of
juice from the corn fodder and clover,
and this, when run off and strained
can be converted into several grades of
high-powered ''likker," three or four
drinks of which will make a man dead
to the world. If the report on the d is.
covery shall sustain the claims made
for it, dairy farming is likely to become
extremely popular, and the solution of
the farm labor problem solved. The
silo juice will bridge over the season
when hard cider cannot readily be OBJ
tanned.

ly wounded men; how he had secured
most valuable information as to the
movements of the enemy and had
crossed an open field under heavy fire,
bringing back both of his wounded
! comrades and the information for his
company captain. The medal was
pinned on his breast by Governor
Davis, after which Sergeant Jones
saluted and returned TO his place in
the line. The young man formerly
