A ——— A — YP AAA It is after all a question whether the people would elect a better grade of United States senators than are now serving. Pennsylvania elected Tener governor. A A ——— Reciprocity with Canada might possibly be a good thing in many ways, but we fall to see why the entire cyst of the experiment should be put 01 the farmer's back—that la, * should be, '’ as a matter of right. As a mat ter of fact, why it is loaded on the farmer's back is easy encugh to see: Because there is a gen- eral conviction that he is the least likely of any class of citizens to “ holler.” Anything of this sort »f- fecling our manufacturers would cause such a yawp in Washington that the members of Congress could not hear themselves think. If we are golog in for free trade let us have it all along the line—let each protected Interest bear a fair share of the cost. Senator Bproul’s road measure which provides for a loan of $50,000,000 and the eonstruction of 5000 miles of road in all parts of the state is at least an improvement over the present road building system by the state. The messure adopts the plan proposed by Hon. W. T, Cressy, mastar of the Penneyivania State Grange, and con- necta the county seats by state roads there being proposed two hundred and three distinct routes, A good feature of the whole propo- sition Is that it must be first submitted to the people. If they vote to bond the state for fifty millions, the work will proceed. The sum to be expend ed ls large enough to permit the graflers to line their pockets, and yet leave something for road construction, and that is another good feature of the proposed measure, Prof, Burface predicts that the lo custs will visit the eastern part of Pennsylvania during the coming sum- mer. In the counties of Lancaster, York, Dauphin, Chester, Montgom- ery, Bucks, Lebanon, Berks ana Le- high the cicada are expected to be most numerous, iss AI fH S———— Court opens Monday, for a session of two weeks. “ LETTERS FROM SUBSURIBERS, Reporter Subscribers’ QOorrespondent Col amn-—-Neoew Department. KALAMAZOO, Michigan, Feb. 14. Dear Editor Reporter : In your issue of the 9th inst, I noticed the passing away of Rev. J. H. Harpster, one of my schoolmates in the old Mt. Liberty school house in the early fifties, and the sad event calls to my mind many of the ineci- dents that took place there, and in which he always took active part. I also notice the death of Mre. Henry Emerick and John G. Emerick. The former was an old neighbor, and the latter had his home with the writer several years before he was married. These notices remind us of the fleet. ing years, and that we soon shall fol- low them, Winter in southwestern Michigan, #0 far, has been a moderate one. The average temperature for the mouth of January at seven a. m. was twenty- four degrees above zero, while the cold- est morning this winter registered six degrees above zro, Qur city had a good healthy growth in population. Ino 1910 over eight hundred new dwelling houses were erected in this city, besides the many improvements that were made by the difterent factories that will give em- ployment to over one thousand more men. But I dare not trespass further oun yeur space. Enclosed please find money order for which please credit my subzeriptiou. Yours truly, H. DASHER. lp — Supervision Orchard Meet ngs, Oa sccount of the enlarged list of Supervision Model Orchards (hat have been accepted in the county, it has been found necessary to take the work earlier in the season than heretofore, A one day meeting will be held in each of the orchards named below, at which it is proposed to give in detail demonstration work along the line of prepariog the lime-sulfar golution (concentrated), the pruning of trees of various ages, and a general outline of modern methods of orchard culture.
