8. 8 CONVENTION,
A
Held
Eleventh Distriet Convention nt
Spring Mills Friday,
The Eleventh Sunday Behool Con-
vention of the Eleventh District in
Centre county was held in the Re-
formed church, at Spring Mills, Friday
afternoon and evening. The sessions
were interesting and profitable to
everyone who attended, and the at-
tendance was very good considering
that rain fell both in the afternoon
and evening.
The program as printed was carried
out in full with the exception of Rev.
J. Max Lantz, pastor of the Methodist
ehurch, who was absent on account of
the death of a relative. He had pre-
pared an address, and this was read by
the president of the convention, C. E.
Royer.
An ipspiring address was made
by Rev. F., W. Barry on ‘* The Organ-
ization of the Adult Bible Class.” The
¢paaker was enthusiastic, and clearly
proved that such classes were as pos-
pible in the village and country Bun.
day schools as they were in the schools
of the larger towns and cities. He|
spoke of the advantages of the organiz- |
in the ordinary way, and before closing
his appeal was given the persoual a:-
surance of several superintendents
present that the matter would
brought before their respective schools,
with a view of effecting
ized classes,
Woman-like, Miss Martha Robison,
representing the state Bunday School
Association, io the capacity of a field
worker, asked that the program be
reversed and that her period come
after instead of before Rev, Barry, and
man-like the president yielded, and so
did Rev, Barry, that she might have
the last say,
On taking the platform she inti
mated that her talk would occupy all
the time left, and also convinced her
hearers that the time would be well
spent. She proved her case. After
speaking of the state organization and
reason for its existence, Miss Robison
gave as her reason for appearing to
aid Centre county in becoming =
“ Front Lige"” county in Buoday
school work. Its position today is a
banoer county—the third and lowest
grade—not having fulfilled the re-
quirements of the state organization
to become even a ‘‘ Star” second
grade county.
Her appesl was local or

making Centre county a Front Lige

The first requirement receiving her
attention was the * Cradle Roll
The roll call revealed that the district
represented twenty-four Buaday-
schools, snd that the requirement is

speaker dwelt on the efficiency of the
department, aud the ease with which
it eould be organized and conducted.
The home department came next
for attention. There are none in the
district, and seven are needed to bring
the district up to the standard,

20s motion of Dr. Bchayier, the
president was aathorizod to appoint a
district superintendent for each of the
three divisions of work dwelt on by
the state field worker. These appoint-
ments will be announced later,
The election of officers for the die
trict resulted thus : President, C. E
Royer ; , vice president, George L.
Goodbart ; Secretary, Mrs. 8. W,

The place of the next meeting has
not been decided, and was left in the

WAR ON HOUSE FLIES,
Kill as Many as You oan in April, and
Thereby Reduce the Total Fopulation
by 5000,
April's genial sunlight is encourag-
ing that pest of summer, the house
fly, to emerge from his hibernating
quarters and get busy. BScientists eay
the fly is the greatest disseminator of
disease germs with which the public
has to contend, and recommend a war
of extermination. Asa result of the
direct application of mathematical
computation to the fecundity of the
fly, it is declared that each separate
and individual member of the fly tribe
that is killed inthe early days of the
season reduces the total population
later on by 5,000, The value of single
killings during the early spring days
will, therefore, bes apparent to the
thoughtful, and vught to result in an
organized crusade by this endless-
chain method of depleting the swarms
of this most dangerous of all insects,
In a discussion of the y, a promi-
nent physician asserts that it is the
recognized distributor of the germs of
nearly every form of intestinal disease
that prevails during the summer
months, includiog typhoid fever and
other so-called ** filth diseases, ,, The
feet of the fly are so constructed se to
become carriers of germs and mi-
erobes, The fly is not particular in
the care of ils feet, and as its favorite
haunts are wherever decomposing re-
fuse is to be found, its feet soon be-
come loaded with the microscopic
seads of diseasa, which it hastens to
plant on the food on the family table.
It walks all over the bread and ple and
other viands, making invisible tracks
with ita dirty feet, and these germs
are taken into the human system by
the unsuspecting victim of the fly.
On the ratio of 5000 for every fly
killed, it is easy to comprehend the
vast benefit if everyone should kill a
single fly during the present month,
It would be just as easy to kill a score,
or & hundred; sad if the crusade
shouid be continued systematically the
myriads of flies in midsummer would
audoubtedly be materially reducad.
Ite plan is worth trying ; it may re-
sull in the saving of lives. Let every
individual make it a point to kill the
first fly seen.

A Splendid Suggestion,
The Watchman approve

pon nudges but it would heartily favor
& measire making i a criminal offence for them
to fall to keep the dockets cleaned up within a
reasonable time and to force them 0 havd down
opinions ou cases argued before them. This thing
of a judge delaying the rendering of an opinion
for months and even yoars is an outrage on the
rights of the partion interested and public sent
ment is siowiy bul surely moulding itsel! into the
determination that such officials were given
further chance to proomstinate,
The Centre Reporter indorses the
Watchman's suggestion. These long
withheld opinions and decrees ususily
have an odor about them that ought
not accompany judicial documents.

at the next license court. That he
would continue to do so after becoming
convinced of a fixed determination

license, is hardly believable There is,
therefore, no evidence before the Court
to prove that if we refuse this license
there would be any hotel, much less a
well managed place for the accommo-
dation of the traveling public. On the
contrary, all the testimony before us is
affirmatively to the effect that there is
much need {or such a place. In view of
the state of the record and the evidence
before us, as well as the long line of ad-
judications in this Court during the past
years in favor of this particular applica-
tion, we feel constrained to grant the
license. In doing so, however, we would
particularly impress upon the applicant
that the majority of his fellow citizens
and neighbors upon principle are op-
posed to the liquor traffic and that it is
especially incumbent upon him to so
conduct his business as to give as little
cause of complaint as possible,
And now, 40 wit, April 19, 1911, the

In thisdesus appears the decree of

omse. Itis interesting reading, both
for those who favored and those who
opposed the license. The court, con-
trary to the decision of other judges

separate the necessity of a hotel and
the necessity of a liquor license, and
further makes himself the guardian of
