P. O. S. of A. to Meet.

Washington camp No. 735, Patriotic Order Sons of America, are prepar- ing for a big meeting on Monday eve-, ning, December 17, In the Junior Fra ternity rooms. The booster committee will be present and a large number of visitors from the different camps in the district are also expected. Several prominent speakers will address the meeting. After a short business session at which the" nomination will take place, a reception will be held, followed by refreshments.

Beginning with last evening, all of the stores in Tyrone will remain open In the evenings until after tho holidays. The goods displayed this year by the different business houses far surnasa those of other vears. although the buying has not been as brisk as; heretofore, but with several of the pay days occurring this week the stores may expect a busy time from now on. Will Render Cantata On Sunday evening, December 23, the First Presbyterian Church choir will render the Christmas cantata entitled "Star of Promise," beginning at 7.30 o'clock. The cantata Is under the direction of Miss Wilcox, supervisor of music of the Tyrone schools, and director of the choir.

The solo parts will be taken by Mrs. Roy F. Bayer, Miss Edith Fisher, Miss Wilcox and Charles O. MlUer. Chamber of Commerce A number of the "Man-power" blanks have been handed in to the Tyrone Chamber of Commerce, showing the ability of some well-known citizens along lines, in which their capacity is not generally known.

It is surprising, for one thing, to find how many of our men are familiar with firearms. While these blanks will be collected in due course, it will be entirely agreeable to have any one who desires to co-operate, hand their blank in after it is filled out. a fh- i.rr.-irr. u- Sr: Scouts, was elected tc Tthe Court "of 2 elecS held thl?

Huntingdon The Red Cross chapter, of Alexandria, last week sent thirty-one Chrlst- mas packages to as many soldiers from Alexandria and Morris township who are in various cantonments from northeastern Pennsylvania to San Antonio, Tex. The response to the canvassing was so unexpectedly lib-1 eral that large packages, weighing five pounds each, bad to be sent. Governor Brumbaugh has appointed G. Burkett, of Warriorsmark, a Justice of the peace In place of Squire David Funk, recently deceased. Mr.

Burkett was in Huntingdon Tuesday lifting his commission and filing his A. S. and C. H. Welch, proprietors ot the Mt.

C. a Pennsy freight brakeman on the Middle division, was Injured and three empty cars In a westbound train, extra 742, were wrecked at 5:33 last evening a shor distance west of Spruce Creek tunnel. A broken coupler on a car near the centre of the train caused it to buckle, and the three cars were thrown from the rails blocking Nos.

3 and 4 tracks, The train was not running at high speed when the accident occurred and the cars were only slightly damaged. Clouser, who la aged 33 years and resides at Harrisburg, Buffered a contused right shoulder and slight lacer-ations of his chest. A company physician at Tyrone treated him and he went home later. The Altoona and Huntingdon wreck force cleared the tracks at 9:45 last night, Engineman H. C.

Hummer and Conductor T. R. Cummlngs were in charge of the train. Traffic was retarded less than an hour This shows tho progressive spirit and will assist In winning Journalistic Success. I Among the recent dead in the coun-ity we note: Mrs.

Belle Murray, of wlndber, who died at the home of her parents at Grafton; John N. Geissin-ger, aged nearly 80, who died at the home of his son, Michael Geissinger, of Huntingdon." The Huntingdon Milling company's flouring mill in Portstown has been undergoing extensive repairs 'for the i past two weeks, during which time some new machinery has also been installed. Lime-burning, a time honored winter occupation in the country, is a rarity this season, owing to the high price of coal and the scarcity of help. The Atlantic Radiator company, of Huntingdon, has been making extensive improvements in the plant in the way of automatic processes, impelled by the scarcity of labor. Two more company houses have also recently been built with all modern conveniences, for the accommodation of employes with families.

Planning War Gardens. With eight inches of snow on the ground, the reporter hears of war gardening pians ior next year, as ar-1 rangements of all kinds, are already being made. Next season will probably see the greatest activity in gardening ever known in America. The motto should be, "A garden for every family; a fruit tree in every back yard; poultry for those who have room for it; hogs or a cow for those in the suburbs." High food prices now seem tottering, dealt a smashing blow by the doughty war gardeners. Injured by Explosion.

By the explosion of the waterback In the range in which he had rebuilt the fire after it had gone out, the Rev. J. E. Massey, the Baptist minister of Mt. Union', sustained severe injuries and his wife and daughter had a narrow escape last Monday, morning.

The waterback had frozen in the zero weather of the n'ght before. The glass was all broken, and the plaster ing fell, "making it a scene of indescribable confusion as well as severe shock. A Costly Fire. After butchering the day before, Miles Endres and family, of Henderson township, were horrified on Sunday morning when they awakened, to see their shop where they had done the work, all in flames, so that it was with difficulty they prevented the fire from communicating to the house and barn. The shop burned completely, and with it three and one-half cans or lard, one hundred pounds of saus- eivt bushels of shelled beans, applebutter of two boilings, about two-thirds of all their Jams and jellies, flour, tools, kettles, etc.

The public may well svm- pathize with this worthy family In the loss of their very considerable store of provisions. Appointment Made. Clair M. Taylor, Eecrotarv of the J. C.

These people have quite a reputation for their delicious suppers and all who partake this evening are assured another tasty repast. The firemen need the assistance of the whole community In the purchase of their new motor truck and such a worthy cause should not go unheeded by any.

The Wilson theatre for this afternoon and evening presents Kathlyn Williams and Wallace Reid in "Big Timber." From Bertrand Sinclair's famous story of the California lumber district has been made a tremendously vital screen drama, a play in which these two popular Etars have every opportunity to score. Among the unusual incidents in the course of the story is the forest fire, the menace that the lumber man fears as the sailor does a hidden reef. But this terror of the woods, which makes of the cool shades of redwoods and pines a raging hot furnace of man and tense, one that strikes home as cleanly and surely as the woodsman's axe.

Healyour child's sick skin with Resinol The minor skin troubles to which infants and children are subject-itching patches, bits of chafing, rash or redness so easily develop into serious, stubborn affections, that every mother should have Resinol Ointment onhand to check them before they get the upper hand.
