What traits in cur life, we wonder, are sym

perennial bathing beauty contest!
Ponder on it for while. !

About 1918 numerous cases began
to appear in the United tSates OF q
condition promptly christened by the
newspapers American sleeping, sick
ness" Il became necessary Tor ply
sicians to explain the difference be-
tween this condition and the African
sleeping sickness, Of which much Is
definitely known.
The American condition was char
acterixed by q progressive stupor or
lethargy in some instances, although
in others there was excitement and
babbling. The disease occurred most
commonly in the winter months
rarely in children, and affected both
sexes.
It had various forms. all Of them

It remains to be reported, also,
that the most popular wag in the
Broadway belt is Harry Hershfeld, q
cartoonist. Harry has appeared vt
SO many banquets where those gosh
awful flashlight photos are taken
that he has won the sobriquet of
..Flashliht Harry" His more-or-less
fame began through his POSTMASTER
ship of the "Cheese Club" an or
ganization Of Broadway press agents.
At q recent annual gathering
which I attended Harry was called
upon for few remarks. Far toe
much hip refreshments had been
going about and the great crowd had
become unruly. Special attractions
appearing upon an improvised stage
could not be heard for the hubbub.
Loud conversations, songs, whistles
and shouts kept intcrrupting the en-
tertainment. &
Harry hesitated about making q
speech and finally, looking the crowd
over, began:
"Say, fellows, can't you be just q

Glass factories and coal mines had
kept the butcher. the baker, the
candlestick maker and the banker
busy the year round in Point Marion
Pennsylvania. Hired men left the
farms followed by the farm owners to
get their share of the attractive
wages.
Suddenly labor saving machinery
was brought in to the old hand meth
cd window glass factories. The coal
business took a drop and hundreds
of people had to find new employment
Savings accounts dwindled. Deposits
OF the two banks dropped off almost
a million dollars.
Bring in more industries, was be
ing sung at luncheon clubs all over
the land, every town seemed to be
advertising unlimited water supply,
cheap fuel and free factory sites
Competition was keen and the reward
doubtful
The question came, why not
stimulate the agricultural pursuits
of the community which have lain
dormant so long" Farm income
might be increased and production
costs lowered in many instances,
The first move OF one of the banks
was the purchase of healthy chicks
These we're furnished by the bank
at wholesale to interested farmers,
payment to be made by note payable
in six months The bank followed
through by aiding in the dissemina
ton OF culling and eeding knowledge
and by helping to market the cock
erels which in most instances paid
the initial cost OF all the chicks.
When the pumpkins began to turn
yellow, plans were laid for great
community exhibit. Besides the poul
try display, farm produce exhibits
from the surrounding country were
entered. Altogether it made an i'm
pressive exhibit, bringing home the
lesson to Point Marion people that
there were great undeveloped op-
portunities within their own door
yards which they had overlooked.
The annual exhibit will be continued
in the future by the bank. A horse
show is sponsored, better seed corn
and seed potatoes are made available
to the farmers for planting and the
bank will continue to build agriculture
in the community as sound basis Oh
which to work. "It will probably be
some time before we shall see larger
fruits of our endeavors," the banker
says, "but we are looking ahead ten
to fifteen years"
