WINK, COITOIt PnOPRIITOR. DNESDAY, DECEMBER 21, 1910 Last Friday the Puuxiutawney Splr lt'a editorial page was wholly taken up with advertising matter, and If the thing happens again we'll "atop our paper, For wbat'a a Spirit without Bill Smith. Is consideration of the unprecedented number of gunning accidents reported during Ihe season Just closed there ought to be a safe and sane movement for the protection of amateur hunters from them selves and each other. Tberk was one vacant chair, at the dinner given by the New Haven Cham' ber of Commerce, to ex-President Koobc veil last evening, the one reserved for Governor-elect Baldwin, who evidently did not care to meet the lion liu titer. There are a good many others who much prefer to argue with him at long range. Blireard. . Bon. W, H. Andrkws, territorial delegate to congress from New .Mexico, has been seriously ill at bis apartments at the Shoreham hotel. He is under the care of a physician and trained nurse. He was threatened with pneumonia, hut this crisis has passed and he Is now con valescing. Mr. Andrews Willi I" " likelihood, be one of the U. 8. Senators from New. Mexico upon the completion of statehood for that territory. Aftkr January 20 Pullman sleeping car ratea throughout the country will be f2 for lower and $1.00 lor upper bei'.us for a 12 hour ride. This decision wa-jRrided down by the interstate commerce com mission Monday, This Is the most com plete and far-reaching decision overgiveu by the commission It is estimated that the traveling public will be saved at leat 11,600,000 annually. The Pullman com pany has agreed to the reductiou. It may not be gt-nerally known that tinder the law, the city and town author ities are the persons who arecharged with the responsibility of seeing that order is kept in the lobbies of postoffioes, and that no damage is done to roo ns occupied by uch offices. The walls of the new Mead vllle postolllce having been defaced by unknown parties, the postmaster laid the matter befoie the mayor who has issued an order to the police to break up loafing in the lobby. Air exchange is again agitating the scheme to name all country roads as streets are now named, and to number the houses along these roads. The plan ia good one aud should be adopted. At present country roads have no desigmt tlon except as incidentally falls to them, and it la often diltleull for strangers to find their way without making frequent inquiries. Name your. roads and let the name appear on each corner. It will then be easy to dud any house in the country, as it now is in the city, where the street and number are given. Accompanying the 'announcement Saturday the Standard Oil Co. issued its final quarterly dividend to ilawharehold era amounting to ten million dollars. It was calculated that John D. Rockefeller, as owner of twenty-five per cent, ol the stock, has received since 1682 about one hundred and eighty million dollars as bis share of dividends. In nine years he has received in divldendsover ninety millions while bis equity in total net profits since 1882 is said to have exceeded two hundred and eighty millions. Anyhow, our friend Rockefeller is in no immediate danger of starvation. Editor Smith ol Punxsutawney isaiso in favor of the Pennsylvania apple by a large majority, and puts his opinion, in which we thoroughly concur, In this terse fashion: "We say it witbont fear of suc cessful contradiction that the juciest and and finest flavored apples in the world grow In Pennsylvania and New York. Out West tbey grow beautiful apples, but tbey are not comparable w th ours for deliciousness aud succulence. Beauty is very desirable thing, too, and that may be added by proper cultivation. If scientific fruit growers would devote tbelr attention to the bills of Pennsyl vania tbey nould soon put the California and Oregon products among the second raters." That ex-President Roosevelt fully sustains bis reputation for saying about the right thing at the right time, and that on all occaslous be is happy In ex pression, is beyond dispute. In bis address at a - dinner given in bis honor, and attended by many of the most prominent citizens of the country, at New Haven, Thursday last, he began by saying: "It seems to me that nothing could be a better augury of the future of his country than that a Republican President should appoint an ex-Confederate, of opposite political faith, chief justice of the United StatesSupreme Court and receive the unanimous ap plause of his countrymen. With tbo per mission of your president I shall propose two toasts: First, to President Taft. ai 'v second, to that learned jurist, Chief J pi ties White." 1 In an address Thursday before the supervisors of Erie County State High way Commissioner Joseph W. Hunter advocated the use of brick for permanent road-building in this state. He also ex pressed the opinion that brink three inches in thickness will be sufficiently heavy, thereby saving a great amount both in the manufacture and transporta tion of materials. He also wenton record s favoring the malnlanance of Improved . highways at the expense of the state. Mr. Hunter believes that the convict labor of Pennsylvania should be employed in making brick and drainage tile for roads. He called attention to tbe manuer in which this la being done In western states. In Washington organi.ed labor for a time prat'wted against tbe plan. But when it xvfm that gooa roaas were using raj !' f r y extended and that agricultural i I) I tlierto Inaccessible were opened rit, tbe labor unions became t supporter of tbe system, nty convention went on ions favoring a cash road te roads entirely in the iy department. Com ' ted that 800 miles of Li roved in tbe state ins on file for 4.PU0 1 .Farmers Take Notice! Farmers' Institutes will be held In Forest county on tbe following dates: At the Court House, Tioneata, February 22d and 23d, 1011, a two days' session; at tbe Maccabee Hall, Kt Hickory, Feb ruary 24th aud 251 h, l'.Ul, a two days' session. One of tbe evening sesslous of each institute will be devoted to educa tional subjects and one to the Interests of tbe country borne, lis comforts, sanitary conditions, etc. These Institutes are for Ihe whole county and not merely for the town or locality where beld. All citizens interested in these importsnt subjects should be present, both men and women, and take part in these exercises. At least three state speakera will he present. A profitable time Is anticipated. Important Stale Highway Decision. A non-suit was made compulsory at Rittanning on Saturday by Judge W. D Patton in tbe cases of John Pragee vs, Armstrong county, aud an opinion was filed which is the first rendered on the highway acts of 1!K)5 '07. Tbe suit grew out of the building of a state road from the borough Hue of Freeport to a point 10,800 feet distant, and will be appealed Pragee was awarded a small amount by arbitratora and brought suit for f 1,000 damages for the tsklug of his land. Judge Patton states in his opinion that the act of V.Kir was amended in 1007 in such a way that the owner of land thus taken can only sustain action In a tres pass suit. He can stop work by an in junction and an action for damages must be brought prior to the building of the rosd and should be settled by a board of viewers. Assistant State Highway Commissioner G. V. Ensign, who represented tbe state, stated that the decision will dispose of hundreds of suits pending in various counties throughout the state, and would greatly facilitate the work of building highways. The Itest lloiiinl Killed by a Hear. The Tliusville Herald of Saturday says: "Frank and Jesse Sterling of Troy town ship and William Dunham of Meadville, who leit a week ago for tbe haunts of big game lu Forest county, have failed to kill a bear, but they have had a very ex citing experience with one, which ended in the death of their best dog. Tbey struck the trail seveial days ago along Sheriff 'a creek, one of the branches of Tionesta creek, and they followed the animal for three days. The dogs finally overhauled the big brute and beld him at bay, wailing the arrival of tbe hunters. When they sighted the bear be bad killed one dog and was trying to get hold of the other. They secured a shot at him, but he was not seriously wounded, even if hit at all. Thev chased him until be finally took refuge in the rocks between Tidioute snd Warreu. They have given up hope of seeing Ibis one again, but will endeavor to find another trail. The boys state that tbe bear was a lull grown one and big enough to make a lot of trouble should he be cornered. They have been lairly successful In pursuit of small game and tbey are still hopeful of killing a bear. Tbey have still another week in tbe woods. Tbey have taken tbeir own canvas tent and drove through from Troy township. All of tbe boys have bad some experience bunting bear and tbey are rather disappointed at losing the only one they bave found during theirouting.'' So Poisonous Cabbage Snake. A cabbage grower iu Eastern Pennsyl vania sent to State Zoologist H. A. Sur face, of Harrisburg, a fine white thread worm which bad been found in a cabbage bed, and which be had been told was deadly poison. He desired accurate In formation concerning this, and the pro fessor replied as follows: "I found tbe package to contain a speci men of small Thread Worm, which Is commonly known as the Cabbage hair worm, and incorrectly called "The Cab bage Snake." Tbe scientific name of this little Hair worm ia Mermis albicans. It is not larger than a fine thread of corn silk, and is even more delicate. "I hasten to say that reports as to Its poisonous nature are entirely untrue and unfounded. In fact, they have caused a great deal of needless fear, and even di rect loss. This loss lias come from the hesitation and rfusal of persons to use cabbage for food after they bave been in formed tbat it is liable to be infested with a deadly, poisonous pest. r"' he only truth in the entire theory of tbe poisonous properties of th's little Thread worm is in tbe fact tbat there is such a creature in existence, I would not hesitate to eat one to demonstrate its harmless qualities, although one does not naturally crave nor relish such diet, yet it Is not more objectionable than any other article of food, like tbe contents of green peas, raw oysters, etc. "Tbe belief that there Is a poisonous Cabbage bead snake tbat liyea in cabbage, hai, unfortunately, become so wide spread tbat it has seriously affected tbe sale of cabbage by reducing tbe demand for it for human consumption. Since there is no foundation for this belief, it is to be regretted tbat it has bad such result. I trust tbat you will do what is possible to Induce the newspapers to correct the mistake they bave made by publishing statements concerning Its supposedly poisonous nature. These statements bave made interesting reading, although en tirely without truth. It will now be like wise interesting for Intelligent editors to help develop our agricultural possibil ities, by waling that there is no danger whatever of any klud of poisoning or disease coining from eating cabbage whether raw, cooked, made into kraut, or otherwise."
