LOCAL AND GENERAL,
The Present Situation.
A),' things were looking awful blue.
Looking a regular indigo hue
Oil way down, and wages too,
Not a thing for drillers to do.
Your next door neighbor looked at von
Fit to pierce you through and through
And see if there wasnt some mortgage
due.
And every day a long array of judg
ments new
Were written down in "Record 2.
Then what does some clever-fellow do,
Just to make things a bluer blue,
Just to season the salty stew
"Standard Oil" times brought to pass,
But try to smash our work in glass
Afraid* he would not get his cash.
Rather see things go to smash.
Mortgage, receiver and such bash
Combines to make the Plate Works
crash.
Twas enough to make an angel '■
It fairly took, wheif noised around,
The starch clean out of our old town
But ah! it brought out more than that!
Staid old Butler to being knocked flat
Would not concent, like an angry cat
Her backbone rose and she loudly spat
At the Plate Glass Trust, and threat
ened to bat
The life clean out of anything that
Would interfere with the commissariat
Of half the town.
The Plate Glass boys were to have a
parade
And show the stuff of which they are
made.
Tbo' they didn't, they spoke for their
bread and butter
And loug and lond each curse they
utter
Against all trusts, and especially
The one that's fighting the home com
pany.
Ant" the people began to pull together,
Give helping hands to one another.
And man to man they stood to weather
Depression's blast, when 10, at last
The sky whose clouds had overcast
Old Butler's weal had cleared; 'twas
past
Prosperity came on as fast
As sea winds roam.
And it was made right here at home.
This story's moral is shortly told,
Follow tbe rule taught by him of old.
To unto others as you would be done
by.
Help your neighbor while helping
yourself,
Yon will best increase your own fund
by
Increasing the work, reputation and
wealth
Of the town. E. N.

—The citizens of Bntler county will
have an opportunity to vote for or
against a poor farm on Feb. 15th. A
poor farm has proven to be a good insti
tution in many of the adjoining coun
ties and it was a matter of much regret
to a large number of voters who had
carefully studied the matter that when
it came up before the voters of Clarion
county at a recent election it was de
feated. It will lie interesting to know
how Butler county will deal with the
matter. —East Brady Review.
—We hear a great deal about the un
necessary expenses of the maintenance
of the Mercer county poor farm. A
Mercer county man who was in Butler
tbis week said their* poor farm was
n?arly self sustaining,--their poor tax
was practically nothing, the male pau
pers work the farm and the women
care for the house and the children,
everything is neat, clean and in good
order, all by the paupers own work.
In his opinion a poor farm is the only
humane and economical way of caring
tor the poor. A poor farm, honestly
managed, is undoubtedly the best so
lution to the Poor question.

White in deciding the case says "I do

'The supervisor is the legal represen

O. P Blakeslee, one of the County
Commissioners of Crawford county
writes as follows
"We think it much cheaper to main
tain our poor at the County Farm than
any other way. The farm furnishes a
large amount of the supplies necessary
for their maintenance including milk
and Imiter and vegetables of all kinds,
and we can look after their wants with
less trouble and expense than we could
if they were scattered over the county.
We have an average of about the
year around. We levy 1 mill tax for
poor purposes. We have a physician
and all of our poor people are well car
ed for and as a rule well contented We
will be glad to furnish yon with details
and any other information at any
time.
T. F. Hungiville, one of the Commis
sioners of McKean county, writes:
"We consider a Poor Farm and a
Poor House the proper thing to take
care of the poor with. It certainly is
the humane way and, 1 believe the
cheapest way of faking care of the poor
The assessed valuation of the McKean
County Poor District property is (Brad
ford city is not in our Poor District >
upon which we have levied a
tax for the past three years of 2 mills
on the dollar val. We average about
r>.j inmates at the farm and have a great
many outside people t<i take care of all
the time. We are of the opinion in
McKean county that a Poor House is
the thing for any poor district to have.
John H. Dean, Commissioners' Clerk
of Bradford county, writes:
• We consider that the Poor House
and farm is the most humane way of
taking care of the poor, they have
pleanty to eat and-wear, a house heated
by steam, warm and comfortable, the
assessed valuation of this county is
$21,000,000 in round numbers. U mills
levy takes care of the poor and all run
nini£ expenses, we have on an average

will make no mistake if you should
build a Poor house, in your County,
it is the cheapest way of caring for
