MAY  HAVE STUDENTS'
TRAINING CORPS AT NORMAL
Indirrxtions Point Inward F>t.-»bllsh- mcnt of Unit.—Dr. Straughn Busy In  Effort (o .Land This for   School
Every imrcat'on now is favorable to the establishment of a unit of the Student's Ar:ny Tiaining Corps at the Norma! this Fa'.'.. Dr. Stiaughn has filled the required questionnaire is¬ sued by the wer department and the Normal can probably meet every con¬ dition. It may be ten days or so be¬ fore a definite decision is made. In the meanwhile he may be called to Washington fo: a personal inter¬ view.
If this unit is secured, it means that the government will pay the board, furnifh uniform and equipment, and allow •?30 u month, beginning October 1, to every student enrolled who is be¬ tween 13 nnd 21 years of age. Others below IS years may take the training, if they desiiu, but will not receive aid from  the govoi-nment.
Students will be permitted to con¬ tinue their education until actually needed in the military service. This is a great opportunity that young men and their parents should not al¬ low to pass by, but eligible young men should plan to enter Mansfield, and as¬ sure the  icouired number of 100.
Military drill will be under regular army offico!s, i ssisted by Professors Chamberlain and Wolfe, who have had military t;aining. The former was a first lieuter.ant in the 3rd Kentucky State Militia, and the latter a mem¬ ber of the 4th Infantry, Missouri Na- ¦tional Guard, and a corporal of Bat¬ tery B, Illinois National Guard, Field Artillery.

HILFIGER REUNION The eighteenth annual reunion of the Hilfiger family was held at the Jobs Corners Grange hall, Saturday, August 31, 1918. At noon a very bountiful dinner was served to about 45. .-Vfter dinner a business meeting was called and the following officers were elected:
President, O. C. Hilfiger. Vice President, Nathaniel  Hilfiger. Sec-Ti-eas.—Velma Hilfiger. Following the election of officers it ¦was decided that    the next    reunion -would be held at the same place, the fourth Saturday in August, 1919.    A short program was given after which all departed to their many homes in downpouring rain, but    reporting    a fine time.

An effort will be made hy fhe Coun¬ ty nnd District Chairmen and Solici¬ tors for the sale of War Savings Stamps to fill, by cash or pledge.^, the quota for Tioga county this month.
The total sales of stamps to Au¬ gust 31, for Mansfield, Covington, Richmond and Sullivan was §07,000. This leaves us short nearly fiO.OOO dol¬ lars, less, of course, a fair amount now pledged.
To make an estimated statement:
Mansfield boro, quota S3G.O0O, sold, about 820,000; balance $10,000.
Covinifton,     quota     $21,000, about S6,000; balance $18,000.
Richmond,     quota     S20.GOO, about $8,000;^ balance ?12^0p9.
Sullivan, quota'$16,550, sold, .$4..5fiO; balance 812,000.
The District Chairman for Coving¬ ton is S. H. Ridge; for Sullivan Geo. E. Robbins, and for Richmond, N. M. Beach. S. B. Rockwall and W. J. Squire were named assistants at the Grays Valley meeting.
The above chairmen will make a strong effort to make up the amount lacking in the district befoie Septem¬ ber 28, for the following reasons:
First. The Pre.-ident and Directors of the National War Savings Conimit- tee have reauested it.
Second. The honor of the district and its reputation for promptness' are at stake.
Third. The members of this com¬ mittee wish to be free from this duty that they may better help with the Fourth Libe'-ty Loan campaign which commence.^! the last of the month.
It is also plain that it is only by the combined effort of all that suc¬ cess is possible.
I, therefore, by tbe power cf ap¬ pointment derived from the County, State and National W. S. S. Com¬ mittees, do request for this war meas¬ ure the assistance of every man and woman who were and are members of the Liberty Loan, the War, Chest and the Red Ci'oss Committees.
A War Savings booth will be loca¬ ted upon the Fair Grounds next week. It is expected that the Bov Scouts and the Camp Fire Girls will sell Thrift Stamps at that time. We can depend unon these hustling young boys and girls who have given so generously of their time and pennies in the past to do their bit and their '>est. These are the light artillery, or the skii-mishers. Others, with larger capital and re¬ sources should not fail in the general assault.
It is suggested as possible that ten will come forward in the distiict and | take the limit, Sl.OOO maturity value. Twenty   will   take   .'?.50O   dollars   each and 50 who will take $100 each.
May we not adopt the motto of our
boys unon the battle field.< of France
and Belgium: "Forward—to Victory"?

Last Sunday, the seconil of the gasle.i-s days, was observed with a thoroughness that was truly amazing. Only a few cars wore out, and the drivers of those cars wore a might.v sheepish look when tbey passed the crowd of hone^t-to-goodness patriots who had kept their cars in the garage. 'Twas n great day for old Dobliin again. He sure enough thought he had come into his own. Indeed, one walking along Main street, where the cars were wont to romp and rave on the Sabbath, one felt transported bnck into tbe dim nineteenth, when grown man marvelled at the occasional ap- pearanco of the unfamiliar contrap¬ tion called automobile. The motor¬ car, a symbol of the twentieth cen¬ tury, had disappeared as utterly as if by the waving of a magic wand, and no little of the twentieth century- went with it. It gave this boro some of the aspect of "the good old days."
The gasolent dealer.^ had agreed to sell no gasolene on this day.and as far as we are able to ascertain, none of them violated this agreement. One of them was approached by a motor¬ cycle bug who tried to wheedb him into selling some gas. but was refused. The motorcyclist .=aid: "Hell, they sell it in Elmira," but the gasolene man told him that ho couldn't help that, remarking "This is Mansfield."
There were only two or thrse car owners who took their cars out, who had no business to do so, and they soon felt properly shamed and ran their cars into the garage again. One car owner said he felt is was the pa¬ triotic duty of every man and woman who owned an automobile to use it as little as posible, no matter what day of the week it may be, and that the meanest, rottonest, dcspiabie slacker of the present time is the one who refuses to sacrifice a little pleas¬ ure to help win the war.

He then turned to Rawdon and stabbed him several times, so that he is not expected to live. A post mortem showed that Or.son Wilcox had been stabbed si.K times.
The assailants were caught by the police of France, and gave their names as follows: Marcel and Maurice Choisy, aged 16 and 18 respectively, and Francois Evano, 16 years old. Marcel Choisy is said to have confess¬ ed that he stabbed Wilcox whon the latter refused to give him tobacco.
Sergeant Wilcox was buried with military honors, with French civil and military authorities attending the funeral.    He  had  only  recently  won

LOCAL HARNESS MAKER WINS PRAISE    FROM    INSPECTOR
Has Made and Shipped Many Halters to be Used by Uncle Sam's Team¬ sters.—Uses the Money Received To  Purchased   War  Stamps.
Fred L. Jupenlaz, our local harness maker, has been doing considerable government work of late, working on a contract for Buffalo parties who have a contract to furnish halters for the government.
Thus we have had, unknown to most people, a war work industry in our own town. He turned out about 1,200 halters since he started, ship¬ ping the last batch on August 26. There was four gross in the last ship¬ ment.
Some idea of the amount of labor on these halters can be gained when one considers the time consumed and the material used in their making. It takes about a week to make a gross. In the making of the lot he has used nearly 1,800 pounds of leather. It takes about six pounds of thread to a gross, and twelve and one-half pounds of copper rivets. This latter article is rather difficult to obtain at present. The completed halter weighs about three pounds and is a mighty fine and strong looking piece of har¬ ness.
The first shipment was made in May, and a government agent was j in Buffalo when the goods arrived, j When they were unpacked he re- I j marked that he did not know w.iat he would do with them, and to the ques- ! tion "Why?", he said: "They are so j good that if we send these first, they |

is that under its impul.-^e many regis¬ trants are about to place the entire burden of their classification upon the government, which is not what the gove: nment desires.
In   the  first   draft   50   per  cent  of those called asked for deferred cla^si- ! fixation  and 77    per cent    of    these j claims  were granted.    Of the claims ' m.ide 74 per cent were for dependen- I cy. The fact that the now age limits ; wi'l include a much higher proportion of  married   men     should  g'eatly  ia> crease   the   proportion   of  claimr-  fdr deferred   classification   made   in   this ; draft, unless  many of    the    married | men with dependents fail to use this j as a basi.s for such claims.
To  meet   this  situation  and   others | which  have arisen  the  provost  mar- | shal     general     has     i.ssued     impor¬ tant instructions    to   registrants  re- ] garding  claims  for deferred  classifi- eat'on.
.Attention has lieon called to their assisting the government in speeedily classifying them by answering the question whether they claim exemp- ' t-on or deferred cla.^sification in such ma nne 1- that the answer gives the govei nment an^ immediate clue as to whi-h class they !)e!ong.
T'.ie classes I, II, III. IV, and V are defined on tha first page of the ques- t'onnaiie with unmistakable clearne-;L=. The registrant is expected by the gr-.-ernnicnt to claim deferred classi¬ fication and state the class to which he belongs if his status entitles him to be placed in that class. He is not exrscted to state that he does not claim deterred classification if he is entitled to it.

There are certain patriots back home who admit that they are willing to support the Army program up to a certain point, but who insist that they have a right to rise up at any moment with any criticism they may caro to make.
They begin their support with a brick held in the right hand, looking fo-.-   the   first chance to let the brick
fly.
No such fifty-fifty support is want¬ ed by the A. E. F. This is no fifty- fifty war in any sense. There is no fifty-fifty stuff in the soul of the soldier who swings out over the top under heavy fire.
Those back home patriots who do not intend to go the whole distance with the A. E. F. with all they've got should never start at ail. They are merely clogging up the road. They may mean well enough, hut they are not hooked to our kind of a war.
There are but two kingdoms ahead —the kingdom of Lilierty and the kingdom of Kaiserism.

Marshall Field, some years ago, said: "Careful saving anl careful spending invariably promote success. Economy is one of the most essential element.-; of success, yet most wretch¬ edly disregarded. The 5 and 10 cents ' .squandered a day, if saved, will in a value if | fg^^. years amount to thousands of dollars. If a man is not comiietent to manage a sma'l income or a smail business, he is not competent to man¬ age a large income or a large busi¬ ness." Save your pennies and invest in W. S. S.
