It will be pleasant information *o P the many friends of Dr. Mcintosh to fcnow that he will-remain with the bank fn an oflicial capacity. The Herald and News wishes for the new combination the greatest of success and we feel sure that it will go on to still greater things for the share \ holders afid 'for the development of bg^the town and county. ^*3 Hunter-DeWalt School ki:" Improvement association- will give an entertainment Friday evening, De c ember 13 at the school house, beginJ at 7 o'clock.

' ON ITS WAY TO SCRAP HEAP Dialect Known as "Pennsylvania Dutch" Bids Fair Soon to Be a Thing of the Past "Pennsylvania Dutch," that curious ! combination of German, English and Yankee, which since Revolutionary times has developed-in parts of Pennsylvania and Ohio, is going into the discard. For more than a ceptury it . has been growing just as languages always grow, with use. It has corrupted words, made words, created forms, one might say a grammar of ' its own. It has not, it is true, produced a literature.. But it has been the . speech of a considerable numoer or persons in their homes, it long, since i ceased to be recognizable as German, and English it never was. In it, students tell us. are mingled German, English, Welsh, French and even Gaelic words. "Pennsylvania Dutch** has beeh the dialect of those German' disciples of ; j Peter Menno who came to America, (1 some of them in pre-Revolution days, , j seeking religious liberty and political b i ireeuom. some 01 tnese went, .raw j Ohio" during Revolution days, others into panada, some as late as Civil war j days. Their religious beliefs conflib'! uted to isolation. And they were largex J ly an agricultural people. Now the word has gone forth among | J the Mennonites that it Is no longer patriotic Jto speak "Pennsylvania '; Dutch," and as fast and as thoroughly ! as possible these unbelievers In war are '! discarding the speech of childhood and -! home associations. The task id not an ! impossible one to them, since all or I nearly all of them have had some ex } perience in the common schools. From j among them 8,000 young men have | gone overseas to fight the oppressors i; of their ancestors and the barbarians '; who threaten their own liberties. , i' The banning of "Pennsylvania Dutch" is an impressive object lesson to all Americans., Let's all resolve to speak English.?Detroit Free Press. L More Than Paid the Debt r Some of us will give a second ! thought to the extraordinary achieve nient of a congregation in Geneva, N. Y., which first built with reckless exr I travagance a massive graystone church and then adopted the tithing system to get them out of their difficulty. The story is told in Outlook. When the church wa? dedicated?11 that is the right word?the debt was ' $82,000, and the weekly budget $230, i The weekly income was less than $100. 1; In two years the debt has been re duced to $40,000 and the weekly in i! co&e is $300. Of the 1,000 members . | 350 are tithers. A tither sets aside . one-tenth of his income for Christian f | activities. The blessings of happiness ' and prosperity which have attended 1; the people are remarkable. Many i j thrilling stories are told.

"Viscount Inajipo Tajiri, newly elected mayor of the dty of Tokyo, Japan, is a graduate of the class ?of 79 of Yale university, where he specialized in economics, finance, politics and history, says Christian Science Monitor. Returning to Japan, he "was appointed a secretary in the department of finance and also to a chair in the imperial university at Tokyo. Subsequently he was director of the bureau of the national debt, banks and revenue. In the course of time he was admit* tn tha fainsp nf and wis vice minister of finance* first in 1892*1897, and again in 1898-1904. He was made a baron in 1895 and a viscoont in 1907: , More recently be has been chief of | the board of audit To knowledge of \ the technique of banking; national ! finance and international credit the viscount adds interest in and mastery - of natural science, and ifi both fields he is an authority; His selection as mayor comes after a long and futile effort of the municipal assembly to agree upon a candi' date chosen from the ranks of poli ticlans or ordinary civilians. .. . ??

"Now these will buy you two Thrift stamps," he said. "Two Thrift stamps," she repeated, ' smiling. I A few minutes later her grandmoth! er came into the room. The uncle, ' eager to display the effect of his oratory, ordered: "Mary Ellen, show grandma what yon ha?e." Obediently Mary Ellen displayed her two quarters. "Now, tell grandma ( what you're going to buy with them" he smiled in anticipation of the . answer. "H-f) But his smile didn't hold.. In Mary 1 Ellen's sweetest tones came the int formation: "Tandy and tookles." * \ Death Guided the Plane. A remarkable instance occurred somewhere in f ranee, in which a faitht ful flyer brought his machine safely - home, although he himself had died t from the effects of a wound received 1 in an encounter with an enemy ma! chine in the air.
