"The Democratic County Committee, met last Monday in the Court -House, passed a resolution without a dissenting voice, recommending to -the officers elected there that day to make such arrangements as the law and expediency will permit to unite with the Progressive party in the immediate future for the purpose of formulating plans to work together --his fall in the election of county and district tickets. The committee acted wisely in this matter since its members are elected by the people and a voice from them means more to the party than a voice from the officers of the committee. If the officers of the Washington party will meet on common grounds, and they no doubt will, -there is a likelihood of being a united phalanx this fall for the G.

The resolution passed reads as follows: "Resolved, That the officers of the Democratic County Committee elected here today make such arrangements as the law and expediency will permit to unite with the Washington or Progressive party, and that these officers formulate plans and agreements in conjunction with the officers of the said Washington or Progressive party upon which the candidates are mutually to announce and subscribe to and which will be for the best interests of the taxpayers of Bedford County."

This ordinance has been strictly enforced for several years. But numerous complaints received by reason of a reckless and premature use of the above mentioned articles last, year, as well as the wide spread and admirable movement everywhere for a "Safe and Sane Fourth" of July prevails on me to proclaim that this ordinance will be strictly enforced this year.

It is the off hand orushes between 'amateur drivers on the public highways.

As the possession of automobiles becomes so much more common, many of them fall into the hands of young sports full of determination to take no man's dust Unfortunately their skill is not nearly so well de- Teloped as their courage and competitive spirit. It was just the ame in the days of horses There are a great many men who feel insulted and injured if another traveler passes them. It as humiliating to them to have their horses outdone and must not pass At the first favorable opportunity, they must show their superior gait. Usually no harm is done, but any horseman knows of resulting accidents. When that type of man acquires an automobile, the pride in the steps of his horse is transferred to the machinery of his car.

He feels a sense of ignominy in being passed. A car jogging calmly along, the street is an irritation. If the other driver also feels the lust of battle, there is something doing. The racer takes pride in his skill in passing another car by a close shave. To turn out to the side of the road, even if the highway is wide, would be to acknowledge the car's in- I.

Ostricli Feathers Fastened to Bird With Hook and Eye, Inquiring Investor Finds Many Altoona, illidaysburg and Williamsburg people were interested in the African Ostrich farm, at Bloomsburg, an ill-starred venture, which recently ended in a court of bankruptcy. A coterie of county capital investors met at the office Dr.

Frank R. Shoemaker a few months ago and decided to take a fljer in ostrich feathers, provided that George A. Clark, one of their number, visit the ostrich farm and pass upon the feasibility of the investment Mr. Clark was received very kindly by the promoters and was escorted to the farm, where the birds were to have their feathers cut. In the midst of the operation an ostrich managed to escape from its captors and ran towards Mr.

Clark. Before the bird was recaptured it shed a feather, which was picked up by Mr. Clark. To his astonishment he found that the bird had a hook at the end of its feather like an old fashioned hook and eye used on Amish people's clothes. 4.

further investigation disclosed that all the plumage was hooked on in a similar fashion. Mr. Clark got a large pair of cold feet, and the malady spread when he returned and informed his fellow investors. Altoona Times, June 9. DIED WOLFORD Miss Ethel, only daughter of Mr.
