COMPARISON INVITED BY
DEMOCRATIC LEADERS
Proud of Party's Record, as Contrast-
ed With Failure of Republican
Congress.
Democratic leaders in Congress occas~
ionally make reference to constructive
legislation enacted by Congress when in
the control of Democrats. The record
is written and is easy of comparison
with the record of failure of the present
Republican Congress.
Republican Rouse, of Kentucky, a
Democrat, recently cited some of the
acts which the Democratic Congresses
wrote between 1912 and Here are
some of them :
Direct election of U. Si
publicity for campaign contributions ;
Sherwood pension act ; Eight-hour day;

Unearths Coal Vein With Plow.
J. C. Landis, a Snyder county farmer,
while plowing a few weeks ago, turned
up a perfect specimen of anthracite
“comb” or drift on his farm in Firestone
valley. After the seeding was complet-

vestigation and dug a hole slightly over
four feet deep, where he found the out-

to Harrisburg for tests and the report

Great Campaign Against Saccharine
Dopesters.
The greatest campaign ever under-
taken by the Bureau of Foods, Pennsyl-
vania Department of Agriculture,
against food and soft drink dopesters is
now under way, Since May 24 more
than 200 arrests have been ordered in
various parts of the state while the cam.
paign can scarcely be said to be under
way, as yet,
A large percentage of the arrests
ordered are directed against manufac
tures of soft drinks who have taken to
use saccharine instead of sugar for
sweetening purposes. The high price of
sugar and its scarcity has tempted the
cupidity of many manuofacturers who
now face heavy fines or jail sentences,

Newly Elected Lutheran Pastor on
Penns Valley Charge Becomes a
Benedict.
Rev. Melvin C. Drumm, newly elect-
ed pastor of the Penns Valley Lutheran
charge, was united in marriage with
Miss Carrie M. Hess, of Sunbury, on
Tuesday evening of last week, at eight
o'clock, The wedding was marked by
simplicity, and the ceremony was per-
tormed by Rev. Ira Gass, of Pillow, a
brother-in-law of the groom, assisted by
Rev. Fred Crossland, of Snydertown,
and took place at Sunbury,
The couple was attended by Miss Ed-
na Smith, of Sunbury, and Oscar L,
Drumm, a brother of the groom. The
ring ceremony was used,
The wedding was a culmination of a
romance which bad its inception while
the bride was employed as a teacher in
the rural district near Sunbury several
years ago. .
The bride is the accomplished daugh.
ter of Mr. and Mrs. H. L. Hess, of Sun-
bury, and has been employed as a teach-
er in the Public Schools of Trevorton
The bridegroom is a son of Charles
Drumm, of near Sunbury, and is a grad-
uate of Susquehanna University and of
the Theological Seminary, at Selins-
grove. He is popularly known in frater
1al circles. He was recently ordained
at the session of the Susquehanna Syn-
od, which convened at Milton,
Rev, Drumm supplied the Lutheran
charge of Penns Valley for
weeks prior to his graduation, and re-
cently received a unanimous call from
the same charge. He has accepted and

Drumm may be found at the Lutheran

hool Board Meeting.
The regular monthly meeting of
Centre Hall boro school board was held
on Monday evening, and important bus-
iness was transacted in which every pa-
tron sbould be interested. The steady
growth of the High school, due
increasing number of Potter township
scholars, has made it imperative to pro-
the
to the
vide more adequate instruction, and
consequently the Board has decided to
raise the standard of the High school
by adding an assistant principal. Ac-
cording to the school code, this arrange.
ment places the local High school in the
second class, entitled to receive a highe:
state appropriation. The cours
study will also undergo a change, t«
benefit of all High school students who
wish to enter college upon the comple-
tion of their public school work here.
The Board wishes to give every en
couragement to the Potter township pu-
pils who desire to enter the Centre Hall
High school. During the past few years
their number has exceeded that of the
scholars from the borough.
The change will necessitate the using
of the grammar grade room as part of
the High school, and moving the gram-
mar grade to the lower floor. It was
thought best to remove the primary
grade from the school building altogeth
er, and consequently the rear of the
Methodist church has been rented and
will be remodeled to serve the purpose
of a primary school. The Board has
taken a three-year lease on the place.
It appears to be the opinion of the Board
of Directors, as well as of a number of pa-
trons who have expressed themselves on
the subject, that a new school building,
modern and fully equipped so meet the
demands of the present day, will by that
time be an actual necessity,
The School Board re-elected Prof. N.
L. Bartges as principal of the High
school and Miss Isabel Rowe assistant
principal. Miss Rowe's uniform good
work as a teacher of the grammar grade
caused the Board to unhesitatingly place
her in the position next to Prof. Bartges.
No other teachers were elected at the
meeting, although several applications
had been presented.
