among the Republican cx service men
q Pennsylvania to demand the nomi-
nation of one Of the nblcst. cleanest
lMd most courageous veterans OF the
vWOrld War for Governor at the May
primary election.
There are enough ex service men and
their friends in this State to accom-
pliah this. in spite of all the intriguing
Of machine politicians, who have bank a:
fupted the State Treasury and saddled
the taxpayers with debt of between

to pub ish on Thursday an angle Of
farm ife. showing continual over. pro.
tluction, would ask you to call the at
iention of the public to the same
angle among mechanical production.
Il existed before the late Civil War
(1S80) and have been more or less
mixed up in production enterprises as
Il principle, and knew what was going
on.
It is q well.known alage that every
trade had its dull and busy seasons,
and no mechanic expected to be for
tunnte enough not to have idle periods
(two) each year and he made arrange
ments accordingly. He rented house.
His cellar was built to hold certain
eatahles of the kind that could
be kept. The grocery stores were sup
pied with artic'es other than you can
find in the de'icatesscn store. Our
clothes were of such style that no Ole

We hal one overcoat instead of four US
