The second season of the "Mo
kotaa Outing" conducted by Prof.
L. _L. Ford, James A. Muller and
B. B. "\Vilgus closed Tuesday morn
ing when Messrs. Muller and Wil
gus with their charges left for their
city homes. Those who spent the
season at the Outing were a
bright and interesting lot of boys,
and the reluctancy with which
they left the scenes of their sum
mer's pleasures and profits proved
that the second season was even
more thoroughly enjoyed than the
initial season.
The Outing is already a recog
nized factor for good in the com
munity, as all those connected
with it are ready and willing to
contribute to the social, intellect
ual and spiritual life of the town,
and no other influence but that of
good is left after their departure.
The boys are brought close in
touch with nature, and with their
able instructors are taught, to see
only the beautiful good and true
in life. May the success of this
worthy project continue each suc
ceeding year.
Dr. W. ir. Randall was a AVill

A cement walk has been laid

A. J. Bradley's property on the

There is a news paper printed in
Susquehanna county whose editor
has the right idea about the curfew
bnsiness says the Altoona Tribune.
He advises every family into
which his paper finds its way as a
friendly visitor to institute a curfew
of its own. When that comes to
pass there will be no boys and girls
on the public streets at an unseason
able hour. Each head of the family
will see to that. The father will be
home at a proper hour himself and
will make it his business to enforce
the local curfew ordinance With rigid
impartiality. |
If each home in tlu 1 land were to
adopt this method and adhere to it
much would result and many a lad
who is likely to end in the peni
tentiary under existing conditions
would grow up into a useful citizen.
It will not do for parents to try to
shift their personal responsibility to
the shoulders of the state.
A goodly number of the newspap
ers of the state have fallen into the
error of supposing that the consti
tutional amendments now being
advertised throughout the state will
lie submitted to the popular vote
next November. They must be act
ed upon by the legislature af 190!).
If that body approve they will be
submitted to the vote of the people
in November 10(1!). They are pub
lished in accordance with the re
quirements of the organic law and
for public information. If the peo
ple believe they should be adopted
or that any of them should be reject
ed they have the opportunity of ex
pressing their views to their repre
sentatives before the next meeting
of the legislature. The average legis
lator would be glad vote the way his
constituents desire.
A few -tudents can yet be accomo
dated in the dormitories of the Lock

no mistake if you selleet this
