CALL HALT ON ALL WATER JOBS Impressive Protest Against 18 Schemes to Dam Rivers. EYES FIXED ON THE CLARION Two Thousand Residents, as Well as Corporations on the Ground, Give Warning—Most Potent Ob jector is Pittsburgh. (Special Harrisburg Correspondence J narrisburg.—The tendency to lay hold of streams ior commercial pur poses seems to be growing in Pennsyl vania. „JViany applications have been made to the Governor for charters ior water power companies that propose to dam streams in all parts of the Slate; but these must pass the close inspection of the State Water Supply Commission, which is more rigid than ever in its investigations and seldom approves a charter unless it is fully satisfied that the proposed company will net construct a dam that will in jure the public, now or hereafter. The Austin disaster has made the Commis bi-" ' l XJ k ' ar y' an d although its pow y • not as large as they might b« -eating danger, nevertheless y «*ercised to the limit, and it r. mk to ask the next Legisla t i nlarge them. taßt March there have been on til>\ ft th the Water Supply Com mission 18 applications for charters lor rew watei companies, which pro pose to dam the Clarion River and control the waters of the stream with in 75 miles of its mouth. These com panies have preempted everything in sight in the way of water in Clarion, Jefferson, Forest and Warrencounties, f.o far as the streams are tributary to the Clarion River, and as a conse quence the people along the streams have risen in protest, especially those living along the Clarion and Tionesta Rivers. The Commission now has on file protests from over 2000 people, and from companies that are now in existence and object to being depriv ed of their water rights. But the most potent objector of all is the Pitts burgh Floods Commission, which sees in the big dams in the Clarion, which is tributary to the Allegheny River, a menace to the cities and towns along the larger stream farther down, if the dams should burst. There have been a number of hear ings, at whiclf the applicants and pro testants have been heard; but no action has been taken by the Commis sion, the opposition being so strenu ous. Meantime another company has applied for the right to dam the Clar ion and Tionesta Rivers, and against it already there have been lodged pro tests. State Loses Pollution Suit. In a jury trial alleging violations of tlie act of 1905, forbiding pollution of the waters of the Commune oaitn, the State Health Department has again lost out at Bloomsburg. A jury has ac quitted Elmer Shaffer, of Briar Creek, of the charge, after three days' trial. The costs were placed on Dr. S. B. Annent, county health officer, the nominal prosecutor, though the State Health Department had a small army of experts there to testify. It was tes tified by one of the Commonwealth's witnesses, Inspector Zeigler, who had served the formal notice to abate the emptying of blood and excrement from liia slaughter house into Briar Creek, that Shaffer had informed him Dr. Dix on and the whole State Health Depart ment ought to be in hades, and he had concluded it was about time to see whether they could compel him to do as they desired. Probe Medical Colleges. Inspection of the medical colleges of Pennsylvania started at Philadelphia by the new State Bureau of Medical Education and Licensure, and two or three days will be devoted to an ex amination into the methods, courses ind business of the medical institu tions in that city. The bureau mem bers will goto Pittsburgh, where simi lar inquiries will be made into the Western colleges which have the right to confer the degree of Doctor of Medi cine. Institutions in the other parts of the State will be visited later. This investigation was authorized by the bureau at its recent meeting, and is intended to establish the stand ing of each medical institution and to enable the bureau to formulate certain rules to govern the issuance of de crees and examination of candidates c'or State licenses. It will be sweeping in its character. Dies in Car Seat Beside Her. Miss Anna May, of this city, found tier sister, Mrs. Sarah Murray, dead in a seat in a Pennsylvania liailroad train just as it was entering this city. Auditors on Public Waste. Declaring the payment of $11,659 to ronstables and $6,596 to Aldermen in the city upon discharged criminal cases in the past year to liave been a Haste of public funds, the County •~rs, in a report submitted to Court at York, recommended that the ■oinniisKioners be vigilant and refuse payment in "trumped-up" cases. It was shown that less than SI,OOO of the to tal paid out for discharged cases went to Justices and constables outside the city. Total paid constables and Magis trates for criminal cases is $30,598. BOYS DIE TRYING TO SAVE BROTHER Ice Breaks Under Three Bro thers While Sleding on River. BODIES WERE RECOVERED Frederick Bader, 12 Years Old, and Carl, 10, Perish in the Schuylkill River When Attempting to Rescue Albert 8 Years Old. Phoenixville. —Two brothers were drowned and another was rescued from death in 'the Schuylkill River here. The tragedy was witnessed by a score of persons, who were unable to give aid to the drowning boys as they sank after vain attempts to save each other. The dead boys are Frederick and Carl Uader, aged 12 and 10 years. Al bert Bader, aged S years, whom his brothers attempted to save, was res cued by another boy. The three boys left home with a sled and a pair of skates for t!ie Schuylkill River. Albert, the youngest, was placed upon the sled and his bro thers pushed hir - about over the ice, which covered h.-i the river, but left the fast moving channel uncovered. The older boys gave the sled a vigor ous shove and let. their brother coast out on the smooth ice. This they did several times. Then the sled carrying Albert sped over the ice and into the water beyond. Frederick and Carl started to res cue their little brother and called for help. They brought a limb of a tree and crept out to the edge of the ice toward him. They were pulling him out of the water when the ice broke and they fell in. Meanwhile John Polnyak, 17 years old. arrived with several companions. Dolnyak drew the youngest boy out of the water to safety. Meanwhile the other boys tried to help one another, oach apparently unmindful of his own safety. Frederick clung with one hand to the ice and reached with the other for Carl. Carl shook him off and told him to "watch out for yourself." When Dolnyalt turned to help them both boys sank together. Court After Death Trap. Norrlstown. —Court has decided to have investigated one of the worst death-traps to automobilists in Mont gomery County. It is the double curve, or "S," on the road leading from Fairview Village to Centre Point. A woods is in one pocket of the "S," and a house and barn in the other, so that the traveling public is unable to see ahead more than a few feet. Residents of the township, includ ing Elvin S. Yocum, Samuel H. Tit low, H. B. Wonsetler and others, in a petition to the Court, asked that a jury be appointed to consider the straightening of the road. Baptized Near Zero. Pittsburgh.—With the thermometer registering 4 degrees above zero, twenty-seven negro men and women, recent converts to the Mount Zion African Methodist Episcopal Church, of Brownsville, near here, were im mersed in the icy waters of the Mo nongaliela River. The immersions were witnessed by several thousand persona, who shivered on the river bank and huddled close to fires built by small boys. It was necessary to cut a hole in the ice for the baptisms. Carriages were in waiting, and as fast as the converts came out of the water they were wrapped in blankets and driven to their homes. Mellon Trial To Be Public. Pittsburgh. The charges made against Mrs. Nora McMullen Mellon by her banker husband, Andrew "W Mellon, must be heard in open court before a jury and not before a master behind closed doors, as advocated by the libellant. This point in the wife's favor was decided by Judge John A. Evans of the Common Pleas Court, who said he believed twelve fair minded jurymen could be found in Pittsburgh. The opinion was the result of the long drawn fight on the act Qf April 20, 1911, which it lias been alleged was passed by the Legislature to en able Mellon to have the case heard secretly.

I)., Director Biblo Course Moody Biblo Institute, Chicago. LESSON FOR FEBRUARY 18. MINISTRY OF JOHN THE BAPTIST. LESSON TEXT-Mark 1:1-8; Luke 3:1-20. MEMORY VERSES-Luke 8:S, 9 or 16, 17. GOLDEN TEXT—Repent ye: for the kingdom of heaven Is at hand.—Mutt. 3:2. The story of John the Baptist's min istry, opening as it does with a prophetic reference, connects the Old and the New Testaments, showing the New to be the fulfillment of the Old. Thus we say: The Old Is in the New contained, the New is in the Old ex plained; the Old is in the New con cealed, the New is in the Old revealed. Christ is the theme and unifier of both Testaments. If he had not been com ing, the Old would not have Been writ ten; if he had not come, the New ■would not have been written. What a strange impression this fiery preacher of the wilderness, John, must have made upon his hearers! Hla dress, as his message, bore the marks of the wild. Strange, is it not, that euch a one should be chosen to pre pare the way for the Messiah? We might have chosen a different instru ment —a well dressed, polished, elo quent, silver-tongued orator. The Baptist's message had Its basis in the word of God—"The word of God came unto John in the wilderness." That is where every pulpit message ought to come from. Tine business of the preacher and teacher of Christ Is not to invent a gospel, but to proclaim one already provided. The Bible is the final critic of the message. John's ministry was preparatory; it looked forward to the coming of some thing better. Just as John himself gave way to Christ, bo his message of repentance made room for faith in Christ. John baptized with water un to repentance. The Baptists's ministry went no farther than that. Jesus Christ turned the water of John's bap tism into steam » the fire of the Holy Ghost. John ipared; Jesus re generated. The necessity for repentance cannot b« overlooked in this lesson. In a 6ense, it Is the first step into the King dom. Both John and Jesus began their ministry with a call to repentance. Repentance is clearly defined in this lesson as a turning from a life of 6ln to a life of righteousness. There are three elements in repentance: First, the intellect Is involved —it is a change of mind or viewpoint; second, the emotions are involved—lt means to have a car© regarding the thing in question, so we find the words "sigh," "grief" substituted for repentance: third, the will plays a prominent part in repentance, for there is included in the word the idea of an after-thought, resulting in a change In one's course of action. Repentance is not only a heart broken for sin, but also from sin. That this is John's meaning of re pentance is clear from bis exhortation to those who asked him the meaning of his call to repentance—exact no more than that which is appointed you; do violence to no man, neither accuse any falsely; bring forth, there fore, fruits worthy of repentance. A little boy was once asked the meaning of repentance. He replied: "It means being sorry enough for a thing 6o as not to do it again." John preached the wrath to come. Evidently he believed In future pun ishment. He did not believe that the desire to escape future punishment was sufficient or the best reason why men should receive Jesus Christ. And it may be that no man really becomes a Christian who seeks to be one only that he may escape the results of his Bin. We are saved that we may glori fy God in the life that now is as well as to be delivered from the wrath to come. He who does not serve Christ here will not dwell with him in heaven. The fact of wrath and future punish ment is not an invention of modern theology. Christ believed in it and taught it when he referred to the "worm that dieth not, and the fire that is not quenched," and pictured the ungodly being cast into "everlast ing fire." We should have to blot out a large part of the Bible if we were to blot out all the Scriptures which teach future retribution for sin. When we consider the fearful atroci ties perpetrated upon the sons of men, the frightful Iniquities practiced upon helpless women and children, and then eee the ease and luxury and splendor In which the perpetrators of these crimes live, we would be very sorry to be assured that there is no future retribution for the perpetrators of such deeds. Give the justice of heaven the same degree of common sense consideration that you give to the jus tice of earth, and somewhere in the other world you must place a peni tentiary. John's preaching drew the crowds, and so will the preaching and teach ing of the Gospel today, when pro claimed by men as consecrated to their mission as John the ltaptlzer was to his. The crowd have not tired of the Gospel, but only of the average preach er of the Gospel. The messenger, and not the message, is at fault. The hearts of men with all their needs, as well as the Gospel of Christ with all its power, 1b the same today as when Christ walked upon the earth. John was a bold preacher, and a study of his life shows u» that he died because it his bold rebuke of Herod's ein. COST OF GRAIN GROWING IN CENTRAL CANADA A careful canvass made of a num ber of men farming in a large way Indicates that even with the extreme expense of harvesting the crop, which I has been caused by the bad weather I and difficulty in threshing, wheat has been produced and put on the market for less than 55 cents a bushel. The average freight rate is not over 13 : cents per bushel. This would make the cost of production and freight 68 cents and would leave the farmer an actual margin on his low-grade wheat of 17Vi cents and for his high-grade wheat of 19V4 cents; and though this Is not as large a profit as the farmer has every right to expect, It is a profit not to be despised, and which should leave a very fair amount of money to ! hi# credit when all the expenses of 1 the year have been paid, unless the ; value of low-grade wheat sinks very much below its present level. A mat ter of Importance to the prospective settlor is that of the cost of produc tion. The following table has been prepared after careful Investigation: | Interest on 320 acres, value S3O per acre, 3 years at 6 per cent Interest $1,720.00 Interest on horses, machin ery, wagons, ploughs, har rows, etc., to operate 320 acres—say $2,500 for 3 years 450.00 Getting 320 acres ready for crop first year, doing one's own work, with hired help, about $3.50 per acre 1,120.00 Getting 320 acres ready for crop, second and third year, about $1.25 per acre per year, or $2.50 per acre 2 years one's own work and hired help 800.00 Seed per year, wheat, per acre $1.25, 3 years 1,200.00 | Seeding, 320 acres, 25 cents per acre, 3 years 240.00 ; Twine, 320 acres, 30 cents per acre, 3 years 288.00 Harvesting, 320 acres, 30 cents per acre, 3 years 288.00 Marketing, 320 acres, esti mate 20 bushels per acre per year for 3 years, 3 cents per bushel, or 9 cents per bushel for 3 years 576.00 Threshing 320 acres, estimate 20 bushels per acre per year for 3 years, 6 cents per bushel per year or 18 cents for 3 years 1,152.00 Total $7,834.00 Cr. By wheat crop farm 320 acres for 3 years, average 20 bushels per acre per year for 3 years, or a total of 60 bushels, = 19,200 bushels at 80 cents per bushel $15,360.00 Balance to credit of farm aft er 3 years operation, $2,- 563.00 per year 7,526.00 "To operate 480 acres would cost less in proportion, as the plant re quired for 320 acres would do for the larger farm, and the interest on plant for the extra 160 acres ■would be caved." The figures given may be open to criticism, but they will be found to be reasonably accurate, with a fair ness given to the expense columns. There are those who profess to do the work at a much less cost than thoso given. Whoever serves his country well has no need of ancestors. —Voltaire.
