Mr. John Cott while driving to his home in Elkland township, ac companied by his wife and child, had the misfortune of letting his teatn become unmanageable and running away. The occupants of the carriage were thrown out and all severely bruised. Mrs. Cott sustained a broken riband other injuries. There is no doubt.hut that strut uous opposition will be shown tin passage of such a measure by the thousands of hunters in the State. Many contend that there is no sport in huntitiK unless a dog accompanies the patty, and they will fight the commission in this respect to the last ditch The remains of Mrs. John Butler were brought to Laporte on Friday and the funeral service were held at the Church of the Sacred Heart, on Monday at half past ten o'clock, with Father J. A. En right as otttci atinu priest. The body reposed in a handsome casket which was laden with beau tiful floral offerings, the last tributes of loving friends. Requiem High Mass was said, fol lowed with an excellent sermon by Father Knright. The choir of St. Francis Church of Mildred, very | beautifully reudered several select ions, after which the deceased was ; laid to rest in Sacred Heart "Ceme . tery. Those from a distance who at tended the funeral were Mr. and Mrs. Stevclaiul. Miss Mary Butler, Mr. Arthur Butler and Mrs. Char ; les Landon. To the friends who came to their bereaved home in the hour of grief, and contributed all that human kindness could suggest, to help and comfort, Mr. and Mrs. Gallag- I her extend most heartfelt thanks. An area half as large as (he staU | af Rhode Island is stripped of its i spruce every year to make wood pulp. Wood has been stripped from , the lulls eagerly and trees have not j l»een planted to take its place. Kvery material interest is threatened b.v the present wasteful methods." These statements from a leading paper trade journal seems extrava gant on first reading, but their au thenticity receives good support in the report of the t'nited States for. [*.st service, that the publishers of the country are using more than three and one half million cords of pulp wood each year. Further support to the statements is given by the « s. timates which show that a big New York daily, one of those with vari ous morning and evening editions which are said to have an aggregate daily circulation of nearly a million copies, used 77,<W3,*7"> pounds of •vhite newspapi r last year. This is an average of illl,s7'! poun'ds a day The large Sunday edition is <.-ti mated to require riO per cent of the paper used each week, while the week day editions take up the re maining 70 per cent. Figuring the composition of this paper requires approximately 11,5 acres. These ligures allow a stand of nine cords of wood to the acre, which is considered the average for a large area, although certain small stands can be found where the yield is much heavier. The amount of wood used by this one New York paper seems to afford a good excuse for the white paper scare, which is making publisher* cut down the size of their papers or take the other alternative and raise the price. Experts say, however, j ihat the final solution of the wood j pulp question will have to come from the adoption of a system of for-, est management by mill owners to- ! gether with the adoption of less! wasteful methods in working up] their products and the study of thei utilization of woods other than j spruce for the manufacture of pulp. The annual meeting of the stock holders of the First National Bank of Onshore was held Tues- j day. The following gentleman were! named as board of directors: John j O. Reecer, Samuel Cole and F. Q. ! Sylvara, of Onshore; Fisher ami j Lincoln Wells, of Wyalusing; S. O. \ Sterigere, New Albany; J. J. Han-j noil Overton; A. F. Huess, La- j Porte. The board of directors or ganized and elected S. O. Steriger president, J. O. Keeser vice presi- ; dent, and M. O. Swarts cashier. I "People do not have the whoie- i some fear of grip they should have." : says a well known physician. ~I»r Ip is dangerous, but in almost every i instance could be avoided by a few simple precautions and epidemics a vcrted by complete isolation of the patient. Ijuick weather changes cause colds often, but are not respon sible for grip other than when a per- i son is suffering from cold, swollen and irritated mucus membranes, he or she is perhaps more susceptible to the attact of she grip germ. There : fore if you have a cold be very care ful to keed away from grip infected homes. "Grip with its complication ofliii affect the nose, eyes and ears serious ly, and often permanently. Scarce- i ly a case of pneumonia but what has its beginning in a case of grip and when it has its origon in grip it is one of the most stubborn diseases which the physicians have to com bat." 1 GENERAL STORE ® loaportc Tanner, GD FULL AND COMPLETE STOCK ALWAYS FOUND HERE.
