Gettysburg, Pa, Sept. 27-Mr.
Consumer is still laughing heartily
over the war that took place here
recently. The battle lasted two
hours and was the liveliest and mer-
riest that was ever staged.
Leo H. Miller started hostilities

business piled by Buchl & Minter.
Miller at once began selling his
wares cheaper than his rival.

their teeth at this, but when Miller
began selling lemons, which had
been retailing at from 40 to so cents

competitors began to take notice
and pay back in kind A sign was
hung up in the Buchl & Minter store
advertising lemons at IS cents a
dozen.
From then on the signs in the two
stores began changing as fast as
they could be, made, each one few
cents cheaper than its predecessor,
until the price was down to FIVE
cents a dozen.

buyers to such an extent that it was

WAR made Land
OF ORPHANS OF
LITTLE SERBIA
Over Half a Million Children
Have Lost a Parent or
Both - Conditions
Are Terrible.

Belgrade, Sept. 27-Serbia has
emerged from the war country of
orphans. There are 100000 children
who have lost both their parents,
and about 100000 more are bereft
of either their fathers of mothers.
These figures have been compiled
by American Red Cross workers
from the latest records of the Ser
biau educational department.
In some towns of only 10000
population there are from 1000 to
5000 orphans, The occupation OF
Serbia for three years by the enemy
and the subsedent deportations
combined with the great retreat of
the army in 1915, carrying some
100000 civilians in its wake, sepa-
rated numberless children from their
parents.
Red Cross workers visiting towns
with relief supplies of food and
clothing have found many instances
of families attempting to care for
two or three children of townspeo-
pie who have died or been deported
In other instances groups of chill
dren from one or more families have
been found living together in ruined
houses, the older ones caring for
Jhe younger
The Americans seeking to relieve
distress in many orphan centers
were at first surprised when moth
ers refused to be parted from their
children SO that the latter could be
sent to Red Cross hospitals for
treatment. But it became under
standable when they learned that
these same mothers had lost two or
three other children by separation
in the last three years.
