Yes, it  Was Here!
THE SIGNIFICANCE of Memorial Day is very much broader in scope tlian it lias ever been since its institution. As the frightful combat in France becomes more and more our very own, because more of our men are taking part, we contemplate a scene not to be portrayed in words—it must be felt. We are un¬ able to think of it without being oppressed by its un¬ utterable tragedy. The enthralling panorma stirs the souls of 100,000,000 Americans as nothing has ever stirred them before. In the whirling masses are the soldiers of our republic, bound upon the great adventure. We admire the British for their iron courage and the French with their intrepid spirit have our unstinted praise and gratitude and r.dmiration. But our own clean-cut manly lads have our very hearts.   God be with them.
So, on this Memorial Day, we should remember our martyr dead of all our wars. We should reverence and cherish their memory. We remember that they! have given their last full measure of devotion that our liberty might continue for ourselves and our children. While we bless their memory, let us pray for those brave and heroic lads who have gone forth to uphold the honor of our flag and all that it symbolizes.

Buildings Burned to Ground and Con¬ siderable Damage to liuildings and Crops In the County
The three-story stone farm house and double stone barn on the farm of the estate ot tho late Lydia E. Shimer, of Easton and Bethlehem Township, located at the Freemans¬ burg road and lhe lane leading to the Carter Junior Republic, were burned lo the ground Tuesday evening.
At about 6 o'clock lightning struck the house and followed electric light wires to the barn, a few hundred feet away, and both structures burned si¬ multaneously. Nothing is left ot either building but charred walls. The loss wiil run into 120.000, divid¬ ed between the esiate aud Fred. Shimer, son of the lalo Mrs. Shimer, tho tenant. There was some insur¬ ance on the property, but the amount is not large.
^Ir. and Mrs. Shimer were away from home when the storm broke, tho former was in Easlon and the latter at the home of a neighlior at Stone's Crossing, a few miles from her resi¬ dence. There was no one on the pre¬ mises but Harvey Wagner, a boy. The lad had just brought the horses from the field when lho bolt struck. He was stunned, but managed to get ¦ two cows from the barn. The animals ran against an electric light wire and were electrocuted. One of the horses kicked the other to death in its frenzy jto get away from the rapidly spread¬ ing flames.
Mr. and Mrs. Shimer lost all their personal effects except a few pieces of furniture which were carried from tho flrst floor of their home by volun¬ teers from lho Carter Junior Repub¬ lic, who rushed to the scene of the fire and worked like trojans to save articles of value.
In addition to most of their per¬ sonal efllecls and furniture the Shim¬ ers lost a $1,000 Easlon Sehool Board bond, which was kept in the house.
Two horses, two cows, eight pigs, 300 bushels of oals, all the farming implements and a gasoline engine were lost. The implementa were practically new. i
Mr. Shimer, a former letter carrier attached lo the Easton postoffice, went to the farm a few yeys ago and was getting along very nicely. This misfortune practically wiped him out.
The residence was built 80 years ago as a hotel and was known as the Wagnersville Hotel. A few yoars ago it was thoroughly renovated and remodled and made a modern farm house in every respect. :
A large barn on the farm belong¬ ing    to the estate ot    the late Lewis Seip,  at  Seipsville,  and  tenanted  by Arthur RItter, was struck by llghtn- , ing  and  burned  to  the groimd,  en- I lalling a loss of about J2,600, partly covered by insurance.     The stock an most    of the machinery    was saved. Ten minuies after the crash came the structure   was  in  flames,  and   neigh¬ bors helping rescue stock, etc., found j iheniselves    almost    surrounded    by j flames when they took tlie calves out. I A wagon shed ten feel from the barn j was not even scorched.
The storra was particularly severe at Ten Argyl, whero the hall fell thick and fast, and damaged many gardens. The hail also broke about ton panes of glass in the greenhouse
Ci' Walter Garland, causing 1200 dam¬ age, anil ruining most of his flowers. Kight windows In fhe Carey building
.were broken. Tho glass barber pole liolonglng to John Cook was broken. I-iKhtiiing struck a tree at tha corner nf George ami B streets, throwing it .uross the street.
Lightning struok a tarn he'nns- ing to George Penslng , at Moores¬ town, and knocked some boards off tho structure, but did not set It aflre.
On Sunday afternoon about 1200 people assembled on the cemetery of St. John's Church, Farmersville, to ' take part in the Annual Memorial Day Program. The P. O. S. of A., of Freemansburg were present, 'The I graves of the veterans were decorated with flowers by the children of the : Sunday-school. They then proceed¬ ed to the Church where drills and re- ' citations were rendered by the pupils ot the Sunday-school. A silk flag was presented to the church by the Sunday-school and T. O. S. of A. This was presented by Warren Schweitzer and accepted by James Frankenfleld. Judge William Mc¬ Keen was then introduced and deli¬ vered the oration for the day. He presented in a masterly way the is¬ sues ot the war and the problems we have to face. He pointed out what our duties are and tbe demands that will bo made upon us and how they should be met.
The pastors made a strong plea for a larger offering, whicii after expen¬ ses were paid, would be turned over to the Nazareth Red Cross which fits out the boys that leave from these gregalions. Tho offering for the Red Cross amounted lo $50.00. At the close of the service the audience was requesled to gather in front of the church where a service flag was un¬ furled while the audience sang "On¬ ward Chrislian Soldiers." This flag contains eleven stars representing tho following men in service:—Paul Bra- (lerf, Paul Clause, Ralph Laros, Har¬ old Laros, Sterling iteise, Osborne Werkheiser, Ezra Heller, Asher Heil, Kdward Zellner, Georgo Hermany and Robert Moser. This was a day long to be remembered in St. John's Church. Six more men will leave this Wednesday from this church for camp. Their stars will be added to this flag in due lime.
With tbe announcement that men will  not  be allowed to enlist in  the army or navy after they registered on .lune 5, tho new registration day for' youths   who  reach   their  twenty-first! birthday on or before thai date, the | recruiting   offices  ot   Uie  Army   and ^ Marino Corps were slormed Tuesday : by    applicanls.       The recruiting ofli- ' cers worked at top speed al tlie army , station at Fhlladelphia and almost a' ll uiul red  men  were acceiited.
There is urgent need of meu skilled in special lines. Word came from the War Department that e.xpert elec- triciaiia were needed in the search¬ light division of tho Signal Corps. This branch alone will require three or four hundred men. Men ^ ex¬ perienced in telephone work are need¬ ed for the same corps, and men who have a knowledge of lino work, and lield telephones are urged to offer the r services to tho government.
The broad activiiios of the army overseas in France is causing a short¬ age in telephone and telegraph men •'over there," and the call for such experts has been sounded to all re¬ cruiting stations. '
The aviation section of the Signal Corps will not accept any more men for the present as the service la filled.
The ilarine Corps recruiting sta¬ tion at Philadelphia has seut over three hundred boys between the ages of 16 and 18, to serve as buglers. This branch also is fllled. Skilled labor is needed by the Twenty-sixth Engineers, training al Camp Dix. The Twenty-seventh Engineers, Camp Meade, and the Twenly-eighlh Engi¬ neers, at Accotink, are in need of need of skilled labor. The Fifty- seventh Engineers, Inland Water¬ ways Section, also want men who have had some experience In nautical work or in canal engineering for im¬ mediate service "over there."

.MAXV SUBSTITUTES
AltE DISPLAYED
AT LEII'ZIG FAIR.
According to tbe Leipzig corrM- pondent of a Chrislian newspaper, the Leipzig spring fair showed exhibits of many substitutes and surrogates which have been placed on the mar¬ ket in Germany. Descriptions of some of these have heen received by the United States Chamber of Com¬ merce:
A surrogate for pepper is offered for sale which, judged only by its appearance, seems almost the same as real pepper. The color, odor, and tasle have been surprisingly well Im¬ itated.
A tea Is shown to which the name of "German lea" has been given. It is prepared from and one of a combi¬ nation of a great variety of plants, , from strawL>erry leaves to linden blossoms. It is said to taste very much like genuine tea, but even a half dozen cups will not produce the stimulation caused by a single cup of real   tea.
There are any number of Burro- gates for niaruiaiade's. Most of them are prepared from garden vegolables instead of from fruits, with a mini¬ mum amount of sugar.
Substitute soap is offered for sale whicii is bald lo have been prepared from the oii iu berries and Irom pumice stone. It lacks, however, the one main characteristii of soap, that of working up into a rich, creamy lather; otherwise it is very good. .Substitutes are also to be liad for laundry blueing.
Substitute bicycle tires are aome- times made of two concentric iron rings with small springs, between them. They are very serviceable on asphEflt pavement, but are not exactly as noiseless nor as easy rid¬ ing as genuine rubber tires.
A large number of articles offered for sale had been prepared largely or entirely from paper—coarse work¬ ing clothes for men and women, blouses, aprons, and other fabrics. There were paper belts which seem¬ ed capable of driving heavy loads.
Many artificial and substitute leathers were noticed. Brass and copper articles were not seen, and at¬ tempts were made to place substi¬ tutes on the market in the form ot , plated wares.

William H. Dunbar, Sr., former constable in Upper Mt. Bethel town¬ ahip, this county, on Saturday cele¬ brated his 70th birthday by walking from his home at Jrhnsonville to Barton a distance ot 20 miles. He was accompanied by Ms two sons, J. L. and Moses Dunbar, of Johnson¬ ville and the start was made at 7 P. M. They arrived at the Barnet House, North Fourth street, at 12:10 P. M. and had dinger there. Mr. Dunbar in his presenl good physical condition will be able to hike many more times from his home to Easton to celebrate Jiis birthday. This is the fifth time he mad* the trip and at the Barnet House, the event is al¬ ways looked forward to with inter¬ est.
Mr. Dunbar's birthday falls on May L'G but he concluded lo make the trip Saturday. He was Tiorn in Upper Mt. Bethel about a halt mile from the house at Five Iioints, where he has resided for the past flfty-eight years. For thirty-five years he ser¬ ved as constable of Uiiper Ml.

SUGGEST THAT KAR.M WORKER."* REMAIN OX FAILM.
An appeal has been made by Edgar O. Folton, U. S. Direcior ot Employ¬ ment tor Pennsylvania, to judge of the Common Pleas Couris of the Sta¬ le to excuse farmers and farmer's helpers from jury duty so far as Is possible. Reports from the various countries indicato that about three hundred tarm workers are at present impaneled for jury service and in some cases they are reported to be the only farm workers available for work on their respective farms. As the planting season is now at hand, tarm help can hardly be spared, in view of the agricultural labor shortage.
In this appeal to the judges of the Couris, Mr. Felton su(,-gesta that farm workers be permitted to remain at farming during all ot the important agricultural seasons which occur at several periods ot the year. The ap¬ peal is in line with various efforts be¬ ing made by the Civilian Service and Labor Department of the I'ennsylva¬ nia Committee of Public Safety, of which Mr. Felton Is also director, to provide adequate labor for the farms of the state.

Arrangements are being comuleted '>y which the interests of German fur men, amounting to aeverai millions of dollars, will be purchased by Ameri¬ can merchants and the money thus paid turned into the Treasury.
Before the war broke in Europe, according to a statement issued by the Alien Property Custodian, the trade of American furriers was prac¬ tically nothing but a collecting and shipping agency for the Germans. .-\lmo3t every pelt taken by American trappers went to Leipzig before it could be sold. Although London was the worlds market, three-quart¬ ers of the fur shipped to London from America, Russia, and even China, went to Leipzig for dressing and dye¬ ing.
The Zeipzig dressers and dyers were recognized as tlie best in the world. Each year alter the fur waa prepared and German merchants had fixed the price, Americans were al¬ lowed to purchase aa much as three- fifths of the years output for manu¬ facture into garments, but in so do¬ ing they were forced to pay the ori¬ ginal cost, expense of dressing and dyeing, a big profit to the Germans, and a 30 per cent duty, before the furs were returned to America.
Tho war deprived Germany of the chance to purchase fur In London, and limiled the supply from America —now also entirely cut off. In New York American dyeing houaea are ac¬ tually operating, and in St. Louis sealskins havo been dyed successful¬ ly. According to the Alien Property Custodian, when the readjustment is completed and the German interests have been taken over by Americana, furs for European consumption will he American dressed and dyed.
