The nut ciop has been a good one in some plnces. especially chestnuts, which lue full of meal and with their usual allotment of prickers, and mother has had her hands' full of ¦work at even-t'do goin? over the sore¬ ly wounded litUe paddie?, getting them in shape for another tramn in the morning. Tattered and torn those youngsters come in at night, but hap¬ py and healthy is the lot of the boy or girl who can get out of door at this time, wallow in the dirt and leaves in search of the elusive nut. They should thank the health board's effort to keep them strong and healthy for this \z'\et respite from the con¬ finement of their schoolrooms during this most alluring time of the year, and co-operate with the board in pre¬ venting a spread of this "flu" diseast •which is raising hob just now. Here's to the kids, nnd the health board. W. S. S.

S. A. coin and inve.sted the same in War Savings stamps. This is a new ¦wrinkle along this line, and said to be the very latest thing in war saving schemes worked out by the schools of our country. These youngsters are always on the look-out for .some new plan in which to show their loyalty to the flag, and we pass on this method so that others may profit by it. Prof. Hillman, the principal, should feel proud of a class of this calibre, and the town which is their home should come along, one and all. in the same good manner as these young people. In a letter to us. Prof. Hillman said: "Our Senior Clas.s went to the post- office tonight and purchased a War Savings Stamp ($4.21) for each mem¬ ber of the class, instead of buying rings 01- pins this year."

Marine ({iialifies in Rifle Shoot¬ ing.—Can Knock the SiMits Off .Any¬ thing the»Kaisor Can Put Up. Down at Paris Island, S. C, some few days ago, a Tioga county boy. Private Nel-^on Shnw, of the U. S. Mniines. demonstrated to his ofTicers the good mateiial of which the youth of this community is made. He step¬ ped out on the finniit range and then proceeded to grab off a score of 266 out Oi" n possible 300. This score was made under'the conditions which nre supposed to be encountered in actual fighting, and wen for ¦ Nelson the much coveted expert's medp.l, which is the highest bestowed on a marine. Then to show just what he could do. he slapped ten bull's eyes in one min¬ ute and ten seconds, at three hundred yaids, in standing position to prone. This was a rapi<l fire test, and is one which is enviable as to results. It ia mighty slim chances a Hun would have should he tr.v to pull one off on Nolsoji, because at this rate he would look like a p^e-a-boo shirt before he could even squint thru his rifle sight. Nelson wrote his parents on Septem¬ ber 21, and said that he expected to shove off the island on the following morning or Monday for Quantiro. and that he was the only expert in his company to draw overseas duty. He wns not certain whether he would have to remain on duty at Quantico for a while or would be sent ovei at once. He wanted to get over and to be assigned as snipe:-. And it i.s some sniper he would make. The Hun that poked his dome over the top of the trenches would sui-e-receive a tick¬ et for a place where he would have ample time to meditate on his crimes. W.

There were four young men in the load, and one of them Wayne Cleveland, son of Vine Cleveland, received so severe injuries as to necessitate his being taken to the hospital.

A scene In the wrecked NO PEACE AVITH GERMAN AUTOCRACY FALLING ROCK KILLS .MORRL- run MINER TOWN CUIERS STIR UP PEOPLE TO BUY MORE BONDS War Making Body of Germany Cannot Bluff America ' Afer .Getflng Her Into This War.—President's Reply. German has been talking peace re¬ cently, but everyone suspects a trick. President Wilson has refused to be duped by the German Junkers into a cessation of hostilities while we've got^ Germany on the lun. ^ His first reply to Germany's peace offensive is most¬ ly found in an editorial on page six. ' To this, Germany replied that she accepted all of" Wilson's terms, and would like to have a "mixed commis¬ sion" appointed to talk about how Germany should evacuate Belgium. She wants to talk about the "practical application" of the terms of Presi¬ dent Wilson, the theoretical school teacher, aa Germany calls him. They are finding that the school teacher has a punch and can use it, and that it consists of the whole American na¬ tion rendy to trounce Germany. The following are Germany's al¬ leged "jicceptances" of President Wil- sin-*!; terms, and the President's reply to them; "The German Government has -xc- cepted '¦ ' tci- - ' -^ .Pre-.i- dent *Vilsc>»V in bis aildi-e.'is o< .Jar ary 8 and in h\i .-,ur?equent addiesses on the foundation of a permanent peace of justice. Consequently its ob¬ ject in entering into discussion would be only to agree upon practical de¬ tails of the application of these terms. The German Government believes that the Government of the powei-s as¬ sociated with the Government of the United States also take the position taken by President Wilson in his ad- . dress. | "The German Government, in ac- ¦f^r.'ince with the Austro-Hungarian Government, for the purpose of bring¬ ing about an aimistice, declares itself ready to comply with the proposition of the President in" regard to evacua¬ tion. The German Government sug¬ gests that the President may occa¬ sion the meeting of a mixed commis¬ sion for making the necessary ar¬ rangements concerning the evacua- i tion. I The present German Government which has undertaken the responsi- i bility for this step toward peace, has | been formed by confeiences and in ! agreement with the Rreaf majority of the Reichstag. The Chancellor, sup¬ ported in all his actions by the will of his majority, speaks in the name of the German Government and of the German people." This is the way the President re¬ plied: "It must be clearly understood that the process of evacuation and the con¬ ditions of an armistice are matters which must l;e left to the judgment and advice of the military advisers of the Government of the United States and the allied Governments, and the President feels it his duty to say that no arrangement can be accepted by the Government of the United States which does not provide absolutely sat¬ isfactory safeguaids and guarantees of the maintenance of the present military .supremacy of the armies of the United States and of the Allies in the field. He feels confident that he can safely assume that this will also be the judgment and decision of the allied Governments. i "The President feels that it is also , his duty to add that neither the Gov- | ernment of the United States nor, he i is quite sure, the Governments with ' which the Government of the United States is associated as a belligerent (Continued on Page Four.)

He was at work in the Morris Run mines at the time anfi although work was immediately sta ted to release him the rock was so large and heavy that considerable time passed before the body could be recovered. He was a fine and energetic young man, and was only recently rejected from the army for physical disability after the examination at the camp. He is sur¬ vived by his mother, one sister and two brothers. W. S. S.

If You Love Your Country, Buv Bonds!" Such was the greeting that fell upon the ears of our people 'ast Friday ev-ning along the hours from seven to nine. It was the Four Minute Men, who had revived to old custom ol town crying, and they wer? out to arouse the people to the neces¬ sity of buying bonds and to create more enthusiasm in tho work. Six teams were out in Mansfield and Rich¬ mond, each having its Four Minute Man, who acted as crier, a Boy Scout for flag bearer, and a trumpeter, a drummer, or a bell-ringer. There were all told, in the make-up of the teams, six Four Minute Men, two trumpeters, two drummerss, two bell ringers, and their accompanying Boy Scouts, six in all.

She was only a lit- ; tie moie than eighteen years of age , this mother, and with the bravencsa ; of the true American woman, had giv¬ en her husband to her country, feel- ' ing that when the boys came home | all would be well with them, and a ^ happy life for many years was con¬ fidently looked forward to. But it has ! been ruled otherwise. After the com¬ ing of tho baby, she rallied foi- an hour i or so, and then she told her mother .that her heart choked her, later she mui mured, "Meet Delwin for me," and dropped into the sleep from which she did not awaken. | Her maiden name was Stella Clem¬ mons. She was the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Mark Clemmons, who but a few- years ago resided upon a farm near her, and she was quite well known in the vicinity where she resided, al¬ though she was but a small girl at the time cf her family's removal to Wil¬ liamsport. Besides her father and mother, she is survived by two broth¬ ers, Charles and Walter, and one sis¬ ter, Mrs. Theron Wilcox, of near Canoe Camp. The funeial and burial took place at Jersey Shore the first of the week. Charles Clemmons is now lying very ill with influenza at the farm just over in Charleston township, and his wife and baby have only slightly recovered from an attack of the same disease. w. s. s. FARMERS MAY BUY GOOD BREEDING EWES r.T COST On Thursday evening of last week congiegating of people inside the postoffice while waiting for the mail came to a sudden stop. The early ones there ran up against the big bulk of Ransom Bryant, and Ransom said "no". Tho smiles from the la¬ dies, offers of cigars from the men, pleadings of friends and throats of foes made no difference. Ransom had said "no" and that went. So all of them, big and little, stood out in the air, which by the way wa.< glorious that night, and waited for a chance to get in and get out. It was a mighty good plan, and the one who cooked up that mess for us should be highly com¬ mended. Some folks simply won't observe health laws of any kind, state, national, or nature, and those are the people whom are always a menace to the health of any place and need something of a jolt to set ther^ right. The Health Board is making every effoi t to stop the spread of this new form of "cold" and we should l>e in accoid with any action which they may see fit to take, no matter how drastic that action may be. or what little inconvenience wc have to pu; up with. Stand by the Iioard. In some of our neighboring towns patrons of the postoffice are allowed in one at a time, and must come out before any one else can get mail. W. S. S.

MAKING GOOD URE OF
HEALTH-SAVING VACATION

i
Youngstern Put In Their Time in the Harvest Fields, or Other Places Where They Cnn Help Out Ht Home.
The weather man has been working in splendid cc-operation with the health department, for almost imme¬ diately followin'r the posting of those anti-richool, anti-gnthering, notices by He.^lth Officer Clark, thprp came along some of the most dclishtfu! days we have oyperienccd thi? year. The weather has been simply grand, full of sunshine and gentle breezes, and the youngsters have been able to be out of tho house most of the time nl - sorhing some of the Kond air of which our late lamented Major Orone v.-si so fond. Thcv have not all been idle. for many of them have been ort mi the fields doing good work in the hiirvest- ing of our j^otato crop. pickiiiT apples, and many othev things about the • farm whi'h the lon-r .«n»»'l of cold \.et weather had he'd up for .so long. If no other good came of the school clo=!- ing edict, this, in itself, v/ould be am¬ ple payment of the school boards act. Then, also, many of the kids have been out trampintr the counh-y round about in search of nuts, and m.any the lit¬ tle shoulder.'' that have been weighted down with the ror-porsibility of a big sack of nuts. The nut ciop has been a good one in some plnces. especially chestnuts, which lue full of meal and with their usual allotment of prickers, and mother has had her hands' full of ¦work at even-t'do goin? over the sore¬ ly wounded litUe paddie?, getting them in shape for another tramn in the morning. Tattered and torn those youngsters come in at night, but hap¬ py and healthy is the lot of the boy or girl who can get out of door at this time, wallow in the dirt and leaves in search of the elusive nut. They should thank the health board's effort to keep them strong and healthy for this \z'\et respite from the con¬ finement of their schoolrooms during this most alluring time of the year, and co-operate with the board in pre¬ venting a spread of this "flu" diseast •which is raising hob just now. Here's to the kids, nnd the health board.

S. A. coin and inve.sted the same in War Savings stamps. This is a new ¦wrinkle along this line, and said to be the very latest thing in war saving schemes worked out by the schools of our country. These youngsters are always on the look-out for .some new plan in which to show their loyalty to the flag, and we pass on this method so that others may profit by it. Prof. Hillman, the principal, should feel proud of a class of this calibre, and the town which is their home should come along, one and all. in the same good manner as these young people.
In a letter to us. Prof. Hillman said: "Our Senior Clas.s went to the post- office tonight and purchased a War Savings Stamp ($4.21) for each mem¬ ber of the class, instead of buying rings 01- pins this year." The letter ¦wa.s dated October 9. 191S.
