Se?\>nd street it* gutting in rather Iwd shape. There art* innum
erable little bumps ami holes ? small at prcfcnt but growing larger I
all the time. Some steps should be taken to smooth them over, before
the street gets uiueh worse.
One reason why belter and more effretive work ha.* not been done
by the con vie? force of the county. is because the men arc not per
mitted to finish whatever work they start. For example, they were
putting down a tine pure ?>f road a: Tranter's Creek, but wore forced
to abandon the w ?rk at the first ??f the month and are now laboring
in Long Acre township. As ai result, the Tranter's Creek work is
iii an unfinished state. Thorp ari? several miles of good roads and
then the unimproved roads occur again. The convicts ought at least
to have been permitted to tini-li rheir work as far as Latham's Cross
Road*.
WII.L THK NVAK K N I > WHEN PEACE IS DECLARED i
The nine allied nations of Europe propose :<? give each other
mutual bu-irie~s advantages. after the war is over, from which the
Teutonic powers shnU In- automatically harm). They plan to keep
Germany and Austria out <?f tlio world'* eonimerco and to do every
thing they ran to hinder rlic lentous in their period of reconstruct
lion.
In other word*. so bitter U 'he feeling of the Allies toward their I
pratent enemies that fhev are g**ing to continue fight inc. even after'
. ? -.iro ],a> been declared.
If the Allies. in adopting this plan, agreeing to trade only among
themselves, refusing German goods and building economic walls
around the Teutonic power*, intend their action as punishment for
the Teutons ami compensation for themselves, they had better find
some other way. The proper punishment for Germany's aggressive
militarism is to be administered on rhe field of battle, and the proper
reparation i* to l?e arranged in the peace conference that will close the
struggle. The war should end wirh the laving down of arms.
The Allies will not even compensate themselves for their enforced
military expenditure* by a trade conspiracy against Germany, for it
i? folly for ow group of nations to imagine that it can gain wealth
bv impoverishing anther group, [f ihov persist., they will only
hinder their own development. while they drive their foes to despera
tion and itnjH'ril again flic world's prosperity and peace.

things from Germany In tnef last
two rear*. Why. they even make
Frankfurter sausage* right here to
Ixindon these days, and serre them
with Teutonic-style* potato salad and
saaer?kreut.
Germany began robbing darkless
in favor of daylight on May 1. by
setting all the docks in the Empire
ahead an hour. Great Britain fol
lowed by doihg the same thing. On
October 1 the clocks will be turned
back again.
There Is a' yearly gain of 164
hours of useful daylight, equivalent
to 1? working days of 9 hours eath.
Gas bills are much lower, both in the
home and in the factory. The total
y earty saving to this Item alone Is
estimated at fit, 600. 000. Railway,
-ompanlee will save about $600,000
a year In cost of lighting, and will
benefit by increased passenger traf
fic.
A longer period of leliure before
sunset Is afforded the women and
girl workers. Tired business men
are_ able to play golf an hour longefr
in the evening. Eyesight especially
will benefit, daylight being better
than artificial light. The scheme was
introduced by having every public
clock, on churches, town-halls, post
offices. railway stations, etc., set for
ward one midnight to one o'clock.
The change makes the difference
between clock-time in London and
New York six hours. Instead of five j
ss at present.
TROOPER'S FAREWELL
HUG BREAKS GIRL'S RIBS
Altoona. Pm., July 10. ? One of the
members of Sheridan Troop wu a
little too violent in the farewell ca
resses of his sweetheart before leaf
ing for Mount Qretna. It has just
been learned.
The young Tyrone woman, whose
name Is withheld to save her embar
rassment. complained of severe pains
in her right side for several days
after the trdoper departed. As It
seemed to get worse, she. consulted
the family physician, who discovered
that the parting "squeeze" had frac
tured two of her ribs.
The Nemesis.
Admiral Peary has withdrawn his

Will Sloan's Liniment Relieve Pain?
Try it snd see ? one application
will prove more than a column of
claims. James 8. Ferguson, Phlla.,
Pa., writes: have had wonderful
relief since I used Sloan's Liniment
on my knees. To think after all
these years of pain one application
gave roe relief. Many thanks for
what your remedy has done for me."

Sloan's Liniment where your pain Is
