The motorcycle must have been going at a fearful pace, because it was not stopped by the heavy wire cable, which only pulled the driver from his seat As he fell his hand pulled the throttle wide open and the machine ran across the street and into Mead P. Close's hardware store, where it broke a heavy iron grating over the cellar The Corning youths were not hurt, but young Spencer was badly cut about the head, and the motorcycle wa pretty well smashed up.

Constable Brigham went down to arrest the three younjr men, but all three had diappeared, with the machine. W. H. S. NOTES.

Armistice Day Observed in the High School with Fitting Program. The Wellsboro High School observed Armistice Day by a very suitable and interesting program. Thursday morning, the unexpect ed announcement was made that the School Board, at a meeting the evening before, had voted the entire day a holiday--to be made up later, of course, as the school law requires that there be twenty school days in each month. So the program which had been prepared for Friday morning was presented on this short notice. Chorus singing under Mrs.

McClintock's direction opened the exercises, after which Emory Rockwell, representing the American Legion, gave a splendid address on the meaning of the day. He prefaced the address proper by a spirited exposition of the way in which athletic spirit and school spirit, by the courage and loyalty which they inculcate and foster, later develop into the broader patriotism which dares and dies for one's country. Then he enlarged upon the Threefold Significance of Armistice Day-rejoicing, for it is the day of victory. It marks the anniversary of the surrender of the enemy that tried to destroy the Civilization of the world; reflection, on the cost of life 6f our brave herofcs; resolution, that we prevent war whenever we can honorably do so, but when preventive measures have failed, every dollar of American wealth and every drop of loyal American blood will be spent to defend America and the American principles of freedom and justice, that our brave heroes of all wars shall not have died in vain. The wrapt attention of the crowded assembly gave evidence to the interest of the school in this very excellent address.

In introducing the next speakers on the program, Miss Mack reminded the school that this week, November 6-12, was "National American Speech Week," during which a special effort is put forth all over the country to awaken our citizens to the value of a clear, forceful, and correct use of our native language. Mastery of our language is a patriotic duty, and "since Armistice Day comes on Friday of this yearjs "Better American Speech Week, it is fitting that homage be paid by word and deed to the ideals for which the nation has fought, that America rededicate herself to preserving her language, -as an emblem of national unity, in its native freshness and vigor." Theodore Roosevelt has said that words without deeds to back them expose the speakers to shots of scorn and derision, but in the speaker of the morning, a graduate of our own school, we have one who has made good the word by the deed-has shown, his loyalty to the ideals for- which his country stands on the football field, in the front line--of- battle, and, -finally, on the lecture platform, where in "lucid, forceful, uncorrupted diction" he "sends across" a message on the claims of our country. Surely such a citizen, while in school, did not shirk English Composition classes nor Friday morning oratoricals. The program as given by the following students was spirited, very creditable, and well-received. Memorial Day Joyce Kilmer Louise Horton The Flag on the Firing Line Theodore Roosevelt Sam McCarthy A Message to America David Lloyd George Marian Dewey The Name of France Henry van Dyke Amiee Lang A Chant of Love for England Helen Gray Cone Katherine Howd Greeting from Prince TJdine to the American Senate Mariano Femcchia For Wilson Leonard Coolidge The remainder of the morning per- LAST OFFER Our Genuine Reduction Offer for 5 Days Only TUESDAY TO SATURDAY, Nov.

S. Gossip Prevalent That Line Will Be Electrified with Niagara Power from Wellsville to Buffalo. That there is a possibility for the reconstruction of the B. S. railroad between Wellsville and Buffalo is the latest rumor being circulated and many are optimistic as to the report, irh claims the iron will be re-laid an dan electrically operated line put in service in the near future.

The following from the Belmont Dispatch will be of interest to many who have hoped for the reconstruction of this road: "Gossip has it that a really and truly effort is being made to have the rails and bridges replaced along the old dismantled right of way and thus provide railway facilities for the district between Wellsville and Buffalo. Surely this story is too good to be true, but there is some foundation to a part of the story at least, as early in the week a Buffalo gentleman called on certain Belmont business men presenting a scheme of financing the proposition by local people along the line.

Funeral of a Soldier. The body of Clyde Skelley was brought home and services were held Sunday afternoon, N'ov. 6, in the N'auvoo I'nion church, in charge of Rev C. A. Metzpar, of Morns.

Skelley was born May 5, 1895, at Nauvoo, where he resided until Xov. 2, 1917. when he was called to the service of his country, and became a private in Co. 110th Infantry. While overseas he was in the leading engagements.

On September 29, 1918, he met his death. He 25 years of age and is survived by his mother, one sister and a brother, besides a host of friends. some years ago and who has made a fortune junking it, claims that he has heard of the project, bat just how fur the matter has developed, he is not prepared to say. It has been suggested that Mr. Fmnegan's dismantling the road had destroyed forever any prospect of its rehabiliment, but this is claimed to be untrue as it is said that those back of the scheme are amply able to replace the iron at an estimated coat of $10,000 per mile, and the bridges, the most of which are located at the Wellsville end.

may be replaced at a nominal figure, inasmuch as the foundations and abutments, the great item in bridge building, are already in. The motive power to be on the proposed road is electricity, the many water powers developed along the right of way in recent years and the great Niagara power near the Buffalo terminal, making this the most feasible. Do not fail to take advantage ot our remarkable offer. Even though you have perfect fitting glasses it will pay you as an investment to purchase an extra pair at such a low price. Without any obligation to you, we invite your inspection of our offering of the finest styles in eye-glasses and spectacles.

Three years have passed since the first Armistice Day, when men and women, with shining faces, shouted that the war was over and every, where was to be happiness and the glories of a new and better era. But, alas, thousands have since experienced a bitter Were there an instrument to measure human comfort its level would probably not be as high now as in the months prior to November, 1918. The men in the trenches might be under strains that stretched human endurance to breaking, but elsewhere, except in limited areas, wages were high, employment was easy to get and rations, save for a few things, were regular if not abundant. Why has peace disappointed? On this Armistice Day it is fit to consider the answer that seemingly must be given. It is that in the war time less than were out of men and women worked harder and with more eager co-operation.

Though thousands were drawn from productive industry those who remained at civilian work so speeded up that there was more to divide, A new impulse to do brought in its harvest. When the sound of cannon ceased the interest of all required, as there had been haste to get at the business of should be haste in returning to the business of peace. But it was not done. Every political, economic and social quack became vocal and the peoples listened --some more-than others--but all to an injurious The doctrine was preached in countless ways that the millennium had arrived and that if justice were done mankind would sweep into a workless paradise. Heavy been the cost of this radicalism--probably exceeding the total of the direct war bill.

There are no Statistics; if there were it would doubtless appear that more days have been lost to productive industry by strikes and profitless wrangling over the division of the fruits of industry than were lost through withdrawals due to conscription. At the peak this country had 4,000,000 in uniform, whereas it was officially estimated that last summer THE TIOGA COUNTY FARM BUREAU SECTION The Farm Bureau Will be Pleased to Answer Any Questions Sent In--Look for Matters of Interest to Farmers in This Death of M. C. Campbell. Michael C.

Campbell, aged 86 years, a lifelong resident of Moms, died Saturday about 5 p. m. He was A veteran of the civil war, serving with Co 207th Regt. He is survived by his widow, nee Kate English, and by thirteen of their fourteen children. They are: Mrs.

George Blackwell, of Endicott, Pasture is generally believed that the pasture fields should be some part of the farm which is unfit for any other form of agriculture and what is lacked in fertility of the soil and grasses is supposedly made up by increased acreage, which is in many cases only enlarging the exercising lot and increasing the scenery, neither of which go very far in increasing milk flow or maintaining the cow, not to say anything about the calf she is carrying. Sufficient work has been done throughout the state along this line of pasture that we feel quite safe in making recommendations for pasture improvement treatments. In our own county we started this work a year results of which are beginning to show up favorably. About two years' time is required to make a mnrked change in the grasps grown. Acid Phosphate nr.rt Lime acid phosphate and lime were applied in the following amounts: acid 300, lime (raw rock) 2,000, or amounts, we found that white clover and blue grass were coming in good shape.

Of course where nothing but weeds abound it is necessary to seed with a pasture mixture. The plots were top dressed in early spring and in one case late fall, but we advise the fall treatment as the most practical. We would be glad to have farmers try the above treatment on a small or large scale and we are very anxious to give assistance necessary in putting on these materials. Good pasture will reduce your feed bill, increase your milk and grow more valuable cattle for you. Do not neglect your cattle any longer.

Your pasture is as important as the field crops which you raise to winter your stock with. Accredited Herds Increasing in Tioga county has been quite prominent in the eradication of tuberculosis work in cattle. There are about 125 herds operating under the Accredited Herd plan, thirty- one of which are fully accredited. There has been a total of about 2,500 cattle tested. There is still much work to be done as Tioga county has about 3,300 herds comprising about 34.000 cattle.

Armistice Day may well be devoted by each of us to thought of this. Mankind is not, of course, automatically guided by enlightened self-interest.

It tends to folly as the sparks fly upward. But perception of this lamentable truth is no reason for ceasing to labor fjOr more intelligence. As a first step there should be a turning away from the medicine men and Voodoo dancers whose influence has been so evil. An enlargement of production is the only road to better days, for the spiritual state of the world is such that men are diseased in mind when discommoded in body; and the only big way to enlarged production is through competent industrial leadership becoming linked with willing workers.
