As we have often pointed out most of the blue-nosed pessimism today is psychological. It is a sick state of mind wished on the public by the long-continued depresfiion. As WiU Hays, our cheerful post- n'aster general, puts It, there ought to be less "thou shall not" talk and more "Come on—let's go!" If every citizen in the country would take that attitude right off the reel, and stick to it, the country would be cured of its Imaslnary ill¬ ness over night. ILLICIT STILL TAKEN IN BUSHKILL TWP. -HIENJN CUSTODY Prohibition OfHcet and State Police Make Important Clean Lp Federal officers and Pennsylvania State policemen on Friday afternoon raided a still in Bushkill township, near Kostenbader's school house, confiscated the whiskey, mash and equipment ( and on Saturday morn¬ ing managed to get the men charged with operating the illicit manufac¬ turing plant. The still was located on tlie prop¬ erty of Justin Compulski, and asso¬ ciated with him, it is charged, was Nathan Hawk. When Compulski, who was work¬ ing in the field when the officers ar¬ rived, saw them, he skipped out. His wife was at home, and was anxious to make a settleraent. She offered the raiding party any amount of money they might ask, to settle things. Federal prohibition officer W. S. Harps, of Stroudsburg, who was in charge of the raid, assisted by Ser¬ geant Parker and Private Johnston of the State Constabulary, and Con¬ stable Harry Yob, of Hellertown, htsltated, apparently, about taking the money, and told the woman finally, that he could not take it, but that she should tell her husband to A birthday surprise was held on IS" '""> Nazareth to the State Police Sunday, October 9 at the home of''^<'^<'l""'''eis there, and that they Mr. and Mrs. Jacob Shook, of Heck- ^'¦""''^ '"•^'^ <=^''« "* '^''"- "° report- town, in honor of their daughtei.h'^ ''' Nazareth Saturday morning, Ethel's fourteenth birthday She re-'''"'' "'^ ^'"'^ police "took care" of ceived many useful presents.

The whiskey was poured into an old beer barrel and was placed in the county jail, while the equipment was taken to the Post-office building. It was learned that Compulski made several trips a week to Beth¬ lehem, where he found ready sale for his product. He Is believed to have taken trom 25 to 30 gallons on a trip. He carted the whiskey In an automobile truck, which was found ou the premise;?. He had made enough money by moonshining, in the past year, it is reported, to pay for his farm. This Is another step in the clean¬ up campaign which Mr. Harps has started in this district. Ever since his advent Into office one still after another has been located and con¬ fiscated, and there is every prospect t'-at the county and district will be rid of these illicit whiskey making p'aces in a comparatively short time. ^OUNU LAOY HAS B.AD FALL FROM HAY MOW Miss Flora Reiss, residing with Squire and Mrs. John J.

A decision ot the greatest import¬ ance to the working men of North¬ ampton county has just been handed duwn by the Workmen's Compensa¬ tion Board ot Pennsylvania, signel Ly Harry A. Mackey, chairman. The decision affects the case of George Aiischau, of Nazareth R. D. No. 1, V!',. Ihe Nazareth Brick Company. Anschau, a carpenter, while e-n- iduyed by the defendant company lost a foot on April 1, 1920. His case was laid before the compenat- tiim Board by his attorney, Herbert F. Laub, of the firm of Smith, Paff & Laub. Under an agreement ent-r- jed Into between the Interested par¬ ties, Anschau waa to receive $12 per week for 150 weeks. Some time later Anschau returned to work after which the company asked to be relieved from further payments, claiming that his dlsabil- So far as Is known, "Clover" Is the oldest living horse In the United Ity no longer aifected his earning ca¬ pacity. Attorney Laub opposed the appli¬ cation on the ground that he had lost tho "member" and waa entitled to the benefits provided iu the regu- I.Ttions. The Compensation Board has agreed with the views of .Mr. Laub in the opinion; the following of which is a part: The more fact that a workman with a seriously impaired member cau still maintain his earning capac¬ ity has no real bearing as to wheth¬ er or not he has lost the use of that member, for undoubtedly a carpen¬ ter can stand at his bench upon one foot and earn as much money aa thcugh he wero resting the weight of his body upon both feet, although his one foot may have been amputat¬ ed or 80 seriously crippled that no ono would deny that he had lost Its use. The same may be true of a one-eyed man. The testimony shows tbe claimant lost the use of bis left foot and should be compensated as provided." !)i2(tO,77l»,i;<i;l IN SXULI.

The total amount of all kinds of money in use. including more than $900,000,000 worth ot gold coin, is $5,679,000,000. "Small change" constitutes slightly more than 4 per cent of the total. The special services in St. John's Lutheran church on Saturday after¬ noon and Sunday exceeded all expec- t;nions, which fact was clearly dem¬ onstrated both by the large number ot people present at each service and the whole-hearted enthifslasm by which all seemed to be animated. The first of a series of services called .Mothers' Day was arranged by the Primary Department of the Hi;nday school. It was the supple¬ ment to the Cradle Roll service held S'veral weeks ago. To see the moth¬ ers in large numbers accompany their children to the House of God, despite the threatening weather, v.as indeed an inspiring scent and one which will linger long In the memories of all present. The pro¬ gram was in charge of .Misses Mary Hawk and Catharine Kaiser. The address to the mothers was deliver¬ ed by Jlrs. M. .M. Dry, who in a very interesting manner spoke of the In- t'mate relation of parents and chil¬ dren and the responsibility of re¬ ligious training that rests upon all parents. The songs of the children of the department as well as all the other parts of the program, such as solos, recitations, etc., were all well received. Owing to a special course of Instruction which the superin¬ tendent of the department. Miss Hat¬ tie Hahn, is taking at Muhlenberg College, she could not be present. After the program refreshments were served by a committee of which .Mrs. Clarence Fehnel was the chairlady. Old Peoples' Service. One of the most Interesting and inspiring services of the year is the one which is especially arranged for the older people of the community. Any one who Is not moved and thrilled in the midst of such a large number of persons who have reach¬ ed the age of seventy years or more, gees through life without taking cognizance of the most beautiful and sublime scenes. Even though the v.eather v.-as somewhat cool, they CMue In large numbers and every¬ thing was done tr. make thera com¬ fortable. The various committees v.orked faithfully, each one putting forth Its best effort to make the old- ei persons feel weleome and content¬ ed. The pastor preached an elo- quent= and instructive sermon, em¬ phasizing the law of change from which none are immune, opportuni¬ ties God's law creates, and the cor¬ responding beauty of each period in life. The average age of all those present beyond the limit of three¬ score years and ten was seventy-nine years. The oldest member present was Mrs. Frances Raudenbach, who has pasesd her ninetieth birthday ant the oldest visitor present was Mrs. Lydia Edelman, who has been privil¬ eged to celebrate her ninety-second birthday. In the name of the congregation the pastor presented to each one of these persons a beautiful bouquet. The church was beautifully and a'tistlcally decorated for the occa¬ sion and the music was a very pleas¬ ant feature of the occa.^Iou. The ^flowers girls were: Helen Goodhart, Dora Beers, Pauline Gold, Mary Dry, Grace Landig, Irene Fritchman. R. L. Hoch v.-as statis¬ tician, H. L. Roth had charge of the transportation, Myra Druckenmiller of the flowers and .Mrs. Frank Rohn of the decorations. Rally Day .Servict^s.

Tests which involve the use of water ghiss and limewater for the preservation of eggs for home ;usB have been carried on by the United States Department of Agriculture. They show that either water glass Of limewater will preserve eggs suc¬ cessfully, and that while water glass is usually easiest to use and ordin¬ arily gives Ij .tter results, limewater is a much eheaiier preaervative. It was found that limewater without ar.lt gave slightly better resulta as a preservative than where salt was used. Air-slaked lime did not give as satisfactory results as where lump lime was tested. Galvanized recep¬ tacles were used successfully for limewater tests; the pails were thor¬ oughly coated with melted paraffin previous to their use with the soln- tiou. Testa in which eggs ware wrapped in tin foil and wax paper and kept in an open cellar or room v.ere not at all satisfactory.

As we have often pointed out most of the blue-nosed pessimism today is psychological. It is a sick state of mind wished on the public by the long-continued depresfiion. As WiU Hays, our cheerful post- n'aster general, puts It, there ought to be less "thou shall not" talk and more "Come on—let's go!" If every citizen in the country would take that attitude right off the reel, and stick to it, the country would be cured of its Imaslnary ill¬ ness over night. ILLICIT STILL TAKEN IN BUSHKILL TWP. -HIENJN CUSTODY Prohibition OfHcet and State Police Make Important Clean Lp Federal officers and Pennsylvania State policemen on Friday afternoon raided a still in Bushkill township, near Kostenbader's school house, confiscated the whiskey, mash and equipment ( and on Saturday morn¬ ing managed to get the men charged with operating the illicit manufac¬ turing plant. The still was located on tlie prop¬ erty of Justin Compulski, and asso¬ ciated with him, it is charged, was Nathan Hawk. When Compulski, who was work¬ ing in the field when the officers ar¬ rived, saw them, he skipped out. His wife was at home, and was anxious to make a settleraent. She offered the raiding party any amount of money they might ask, to settle things. Federal prohibition officer W. S. Harps, of Stroudsburg, who was in charge of the raid, assisted by Ser¬ geant Parker and Private Johnston of the State Constabulary, and Con¬ stable Harry Yob, of Hellertown, htsltated, apparently, about taking the money, and told the woman finally, that he could not take it, but that she should tell her husband to A birthday surprise was held on IS" '""> Nazareth to the State Police Sunday, October 9 at the home of''^<'^<'l""'''eis there, and that they Mr. and Mrs. Jacob Shook, of Heck- ^'¦""''^ '"•^'^ <=^''« "* '^''"- "° report- town, in honor of their daughtei.h'^ ''' Nazareth Saturday morning, Ethel's fourteenth birthday She re-'''"'' "'^ ^'"'^ police "took care" of ceived many useful presents.

A decision ot the greatest import¬ ance to the working men of North¬ ampton county has just been handed duwn by the Workmen's Compensa¬ tion Board ot Pennsylvania, signel Ly Harry A. Mackey, chairman. The decision affects the case of George Aiischau, of Nazareth R. D. No. 1, V!',. Ihe Nazareth Brick Company. Anschau, a carpenter, while e-n- iduyed by the defendant company lost a foot on April 1, 1920. His case was laid before the compenat- tiim Board by his attorney, Herbert F. Laub, of the firm of Smith, Paff & Laub. Under an agreement ent-r- jed Into between the Interested par¬ ties, Anschau waa to receive $12 per week for 150 weeks. Some time later Anschau returned to work after which the company asked to be relieved from further payments, claiming that his dlsabil- So far as Is known, "Clover" Is the oldest living horse In the United Ity no longer aifected his earning ca¬ pacity. Attorney Laub opposed the appli¬ cation on the ground that he had lost tho "member" and waa entitled to the benefits provided iu the regu- I.Ttions. The Compensation Board has agreed with the views of .Mr. Laub in the opinion; the following of which is a part: The more fact that a workman with a seriously impaired member cau still maintain his earning capac¬ ity has no real bearing as to wheth¬ er or not he has lost the use of that member, for undoubtedly a carpen¬ ter can stand at his bench upon one foot and earn as much money aa thcugh he wero resting the weight of his body upon both feet, although his one foot may have been amputat¬ ed or 80 seriously crippled that no ono would deny that he had lost Its use. The same may be true of a one-eyed man. The testimony shows tbe claimant lost the use of bis left foot and should be compensated as provided." !)i2(tO,77l»,i;' Ij«r){fly Attended.
