Pleasant school to learn the source of high class seed potatoes.

School Director Harry Dick ably presided. The discussions were confined to what constituted good seed and where it could be found. Aaron Stern has some Irish Cobbler seed, which is the only sprayed and rogued seed in the county. Reports on conditions Lehigh and Cambria counties were made by Aaron Stern, D. M.

Nissley and R. Bruce Dunlap. The necessity of spraying properly and ot securing seed from rogued fields was demonstrated thoroughly, both by word of mouth and of the use of blackboard. The meeting was unanimous over the plan of going together to secure at least a certain amount 6f seed that had come from sprayed and rogued fields. Albert Carper and Aaron Stern were elected as a committee to arrange to secure such seed.

They will report to al! those ordering seed, when and where it is to be gotten. It was suggested that sinee most of the orders were not in excess of 15 bushels that an automobile excursion be made to the chosen field on the day of digging. This plan would allow each purchaser to see what he was getting, and would assure him of securing what he ordered, as well as give him an opportunity to see how they have been grown. A sample of Dibbles Russet seed had been sent by one Cambria grower for the meeting. It was the product of one hill and consisted of nine marketable tubers, very uniform in size and shape, weighing 4 pounds and 2 ounces.

All those not at the meeting and not having placed their request for such seed should get In touch with either Mr. Stern or Mr. Carper. Those in the central part of the county can leave such request at the Farm Bureau Office in the court house. Such requests must be made by 'October 9.

George Josephs, the local Health Officer, on account of Scarlet fever and diphtheri.i having broken out. After being futr i-gated tho schools will be permitted to reopen unless the dozen or more cases' of Measles become threatening.

LIVE OWL EXHIBITED. The show window of the Lincoln Motor company at 814 Green avenue was a great centre of attraction on Saturday morning. It contained a large hoot owl which was presented to John Koech, of the firm, by John M. Kelly, of Curwensville. He captured the owl several days ago and sent it to the Altoona man for a pet.

(HIMSELF) some time she lay in a'seiui-conscious condition as there was nobody in the house at the time. Finally her cries for help were heard by a neighbor boy, who told his mother and she, with help, assisted the injured lady to her bed and summoned her physician. It was found that she hada very badly sprained back and severe body bruises, but no apparent serious injury. Sunday morning's frost did little damage. The cool weather has brought out the closed type of bus on the local ine, which during the summer was overhauled and painted and thus presents a very good appearance, as well as comfort in chilly weather.

VOTE FOB SCHOOL LOAN Quite a lot of discussion is taking place, pru ana con, on uie quesuuii ut he bond issue in the amount of $5,000 for improvement to the local school. It is the desire of the directors that the public become fully acquainted with this issue before election, so that voting all may do so intelligently. In the first place the improvements are required for the comfort and wel- fare of the pupils. They are. recom mended by the department of educa tion at Harrisburg, making it neces- sary for the local board to act.

Not having the funds the board relies on the voters sanctioning the loan by an affirmative vote at the coming election. A VALUABLE CITIZEN The death of Prof. H. S. Wertz, a resident known to everybody of this community, came as a shock to all, and the news spread like wildfire.

His demise taking place about 7:30 on Saturday evening, it was the subject of conversation before the closing of the store and in every part of town. His death takes from us a useful citizen; a well read man on whom many people, both young and old, relied for advice; a church man who devoted much time in the interest of his church; a man identified with various local organizations in town. He will bo greatly missed. DUNCANSVILLE COUNCIL On Friday evening the borough council met in regular monthly business session. Those present were President Hess and Members Parker, Yeckley and Mauk.

A Locan Valley trolley car was pass-ins through the Diamond when there a loud report and fash of electricity and immediately the lights in all the stores, and residences on the south side of the venuJ went out from Wayne to Front streets.

There was a great scramble particularly on the part of the merchants who were in the midst of their Saturday night rush to obtain lights, and soon candles and lanterns were fl ck-ering dimly where a thort tune betore the electric lamps burned brightly. The blow-out to the line was finally repaired and the lights restored, after bemg out for about an hoiir Y. W. C. A.

R. NEW. GARBAGE DISPOSAL Some inventive genius has hit on a most excellent way to get rid of garbage, that answers a two-fold purpose: Makes disposition easy and furnishes a lot of fun. However, if some angry officials get their mits on the perpetrator, the joke may be turned. This person gathers all the refuse from the kitchen spoiled fruit, parings, meat trimmings and bones, crusts and a general conglomeration of offal, and ties it in a nice package.

This package is deposited on the street, sidewalk or on a grass plot near the walk. Sometimes it is placed in a basket. There is a nice big chip basket full on Union street now. Unwary coming along pick these packages up, examine them and quickly let go. If seen, they are laughed at but in any event, they pass along, like a dog just caught in the act of killing sheep.

The habit is most certainly going to get the perpetrator into trouble. It has not been done once or twice but scores of times. Ihe annual business meeting and picnic supper or the uuild of thePres byterian church will be held on Wednesday afternoon, Oct. 6, at 4 o'clock at the church. Miss Alice Moore, one of Hollidavs burg's most prominent musicians, has been appointed as chorister of the i'resoytenan Sunday school.

COAL SHORTAGE There is no over abundance in coal in Hollidaysburg.

On the contrary, if there should come a sudden cold spell, the public here should undoubtedly suffer, for not a fourth of the people have even a portion of their winter's supply in and there are but few tons for sale in the town. A very ordinary grade is selling at $9.50 per ton. A few truck 'operators haul it a little cheaper from the mountain mines, but they are only able to get a limited supply. Dealers say the operators ask such a great price at the mines, that by the time they pay freight, delivery cost and a profit, of say 10 per cent4 me coal wouia De so high the public would think they w-ire being robbed. It is said, however, there is hope for cheaper coal.

Hand picked apples were being offered Hollidaysburg people on the street at $1 per bushel, Saturday. Picked-up apples were cheaper. It is thought the dollar price will prevail. For Sale Savage Rifle, 250, 3000. Will Proctor Barber Shop, Hollidaysburg, Pa.

FEACH CROP WELL OTEB Last week practically cleaned up the Elberta peach crop in Blair county.

Lynn A. Brua, the most extensive grower in the county, early last week found himself in possession of a couple thousand bushels of ripe El-bertas, following the few days' extremely hot weather. He advertised the Times Tribune and soon had trucks there from all over the county and by the week's end, the entire crop Elbertas was gone. He has other varieties coming on, and he announces they are very fine. POTATOES ROTTING Isaac Stern, the Taylor township potato king, is losing a great many of potatoes this year by A merchant who anticipated handling the Stern crop was obliged to call off deliveries until the rot had fully asserted itself.

Although Mr. Stern farms in the most scientific fashion, doing everything to banish the pests, it happens sometimes that in spite this, the crops will suffer, and this year seems no exception. Others complain similarly about the possibilities of losing half their crops, while in some instances, none are rotting. Rev. Daniel B.

Maddock and wife, of Crawford avenue, were visitors over Sunday with relatives at Roaring Spring. WILL ROGERS in the blood cannot be reached by local remedies applied to the surface. One remedy that has given splendid results in the treatment of Rheumatism is S. S. the fine old blood remedy that has been sold by druggists for more than fifty years.

But you want more than mere temporary relief You want to be freed from the shackles of a disease that will bind you hand and foot.
