American Legion Pilgrimage Harold V. Knecht Post, American Legion, of town, are contemplating to have a motor caravan to go to the Veteran Hospital at Coatsvllle on Sunday July 24th. They wish to extend information that this is not only an alTair of the Legionnaires but is a public affair and they ex> tend a most hearty invitation to their many friends to accompany tbam. But an affair ot this nature takes considerable co«operatlon and In order to make it a worth while success the committee men of the post are making a call for volunteers to make the trip, that is machine owners who would be willing to share seating room with others who would like to make the trip and have no means for transporation. All those who desire to co-operate are kindly asked to register at Weaver's store, Belvldere and South Broad street, town, on or before July 20th, The caravan Is scheduled toj move at 8 o'clock D. S.

NORTHAMPTON CO. 4-H CLUB MEM¬ BERS PICNIC BURN MORTGAGE DURING SERVICE IN MOORE TOWNSHIP Barn Burns; Loss$5,000 Livestock Saved From Flames at George llarty's Farm The barn and outhouse of Geo;?e Harty, north of Breideng'T's Grove, on the Bangor-Belfast highway, was totally de.stroycd by fire of undeter¬ mined origin. Mr. and Mr.s. Harty were visiting neighbors when the fire broke out about 9:30. As soon as they entered the lane leading to the home they saw a reflecton and has'.- ened to the scene. Some neighbors were already on hand and were re- movng the cattle from the barn. With the a.sslstance of Mr. Harty the nine cows and two horses which were in the barn were led to safety. The barn, containing .seven acres of hay which was stored there on Wednes¬ day, was totally destroyed, only the walls remaining. The Wind Gap and Stockertown fire companies were on the scene, the former arriving first, and used their chemicals but the fire had gained too much headway before their arrival to do much good. How¬ ever they saved a wagon shed. The barn, which was valued at about $5,- 000, was insured to the extent of $4,000. A threshing machine, hay wagon and a one ton truck were also totally destroyed. The fire attracted hundreds of machines and thousands of people from Bangor, Pen Argyl, Belfast, Stockertown and surrounding terri¬ tories, as the reflection could be seen in the sky for miles.

During the Lenten .sea.son his Sunday evening .services are held in the Philadel¬ phia Opera House which is always crowded to capacity. His spiritual power is fully recog- ' nized. His sermons are always of the practical type and this statement is supported by the topic he has chos¬ en for Sunday evening: "Multiply¬ ing Your Worth ".

Oarr and his daughter, who reside on the farm, said they did not know the still was being operated. The lease showed it was rented for "storage purposes." No one was In the pig pen when County Detective Russell Hahn and Constable Charles E. Ricker enter¬ ed the place. It showed evldenoaa. however, of having been recently oc¬ cupied. In addition to the still which was cooking merrily the authorities found a huge vat filled with 1,000 gallons of rye mash and 50 gallons of the finished product. A force of men were put to work dismantling the still, condenser and vats and destroying the mash. The moonshine was confiscated. / CAPT. JACK EVANS FAHJS OF MARK SET Capt.

Harold V. Knecht Post, American Legion, of town, are contemplating to have a motor caravan to go to the Veteran Hospital at Coatsvllle on Sunday July 24th. They wish to extend information that this is not only an alTair of the Legionnaires but is a public affair and they ex> tend a most hearty invitation to their many friends to accompany tbam. But an affair ot this nature takes considerable co«operatlon and In order to make it a worth while success the committee men of the post are making a call for volunteers to make the trip, that is machine owners who would be willing to share seating room with others who would like to make the trip and have no means for transporation. All those who desire to co-operate are kindly asked to register at Weaver's store, Belvldere and South Broad street, town, on or before July 20th, The caravan Is scheduled toj move at 8 o'clock D. S. T. Sunday morning, July 24th. And all the way a state highway motor patrol has lieen assured.

BURN MORTGAGE DURING SERVICE IN MOORE TOWNSHIP
Barn Burns; Loss$5,000
Livestock Saved From Flames at George llarty's Farm
The barn and outhouse of Geo;?e Harty, north of Breideng'T's Grove, on the Bangor-Belfast highway, was totally de.stroycd by fire of undeter¬ mined origin. Mr. and Mr.s. Harty were visiting neighbors when the fire broke out about 9:30. As soon as they entered the lane leading to the home they saw a reflecton and has'.- ened to the scene. Some neighbors were already on hand and were re- movng the cattle from the barn. With the a.sslstance of Mr. Harty the nine cows and two horses which were in the barn were led to safety. The barn, containing .seven acres of hay which was stored there on Wednes¬ day, was totally destroyed, only the walls remaining.
The Wind Gap and Stockertown fire companies were on the scene, the former arriving first, and used their chemicals but the fire had gained too much headway before their arrival to do much good. How¬ ever they saved a wagon shed. The barn, which was valued at about $5,- 000, was insured to the extent of $4,000. A threshing machine, hay wagon and a one ton truck were also totally destroyed.
The fire attracted hundreds of machines and thousands of people from Bangor, Pen Argyl, Belfast, Stockertown and surrounding terri¬ tories, as the reflection could be seen in the sky for miles.
