To Kill Hessian Fly.
Mr. David M. Kendall, of Ayr
township, told us a story the
other day that is worth repeat
ing. The late Rev. Simon Wolf,
several years' ago pastor of the
Reformed church in this place,
told Mr. Kendall that a German
neighbor discovered how to kill
the Hessian fly. The German
had cut a large thorn bush in the
fall, but did not remove it until
early spring. The big bush was
then dragged across a field, over
the growing wheat When har
vest time came, the strip covered
by the dragged bush was about
the only place in the field that
contained wheat and clover,
Next spring a larger piece o
growing wheat was dragged in
the same manner, and it showed
a similar result at harvest time
Thorn bushes make cheap har
rows to break spring crusts,
Who will give it a trial and re
port results to the News?

Congress adjourned March 4th
and "next day it snowed." Own
ers of corner property with 100
feet of sidewalk to shovel think
that about two feet of the beau
tiful fell. But other measure
ments made it between eight and
nine inches on the level. The
latter were about right Sled
ding was good during Saturday
forenoon, but those who came in
to town in the afternoon found
"hard sledding," because the
runners cut through into mud
Heavy snows in March, if they
melt slowly, put a good "season"
into soil for summer crops.
Coal Kiaers Fight Booze.
in addition to the recent ap
peal of mine owners in the hard
coal regions, wherein they asked
the judges of the several coun
ties to order saloon keepers
remain closed in the morning un
til workmen entered the mines,
a new order has been issued by
the coal companies. The order
forbids officials of mines and of
ficers to drink intoxicants, either
on or off duty. The Pennsylva
nia Coal Company and Hillside
Coal and Iron Company issued or
ders from its offices in Dunmore
last week, fixing dismissal as the
penalty for violation. The pur
pose, it was explained, is to make
better men of the officials.
The order follows the efforts
of the Erie Railroad Company in
license court last week to have
licenses for five saloons near its
shops and roundhouse, refused

The hour is at hand for all peO'
pie in the unitea states to use
extreme caution and great for
bearance in discussing the con
flict in Europe, lest a spark ig
nite the powder which is to blow
our neutrality to the four winds
The blood of every nation at
war is mixed in our citizenship,
America i3 made up of people
from many lands. These people
are good citizens, loyal to their
adopted country, ready to defend
it in case of need, but we cannot
expect them to entirely forget
the kindred ties of their nativity,
The blood of their forefathers
is calling to each of them, and in
the heat of argument or in the
stress of strong emotion it is easy
to say or do that which will
wound some man whose sympa
thies are with another country
with the place he once called
home with the land that shel
ters the bones of his ancestors.
Let us use forebearance one to
another. Let us concede to oth
ers that same right of sympathy
which we ourselves enjoy. Let
us remember that there is good
among all peoples, honorable men
of all races, justice in every land.
- Let tie refrain from acrimonious
debate and turn our united ener

country from'the horrors of the
conflagration which is devastat

The "Gruntling" Habit
One of our exchanges devotes
a lot of space to an essay on
"Grunting," wherein the foolish
habit is held up to ridicule. The
writer of the essay declares that
people can and some do
"grunt" themselves 'nto early
graves. Nor is this the worst
feature. The chronic "grunter"
grunts" his fellows into desper
ate states of mind that under
mine health. The average "grunt
er" "grunts" because he think3
it will bring him sympathy, or,
perhaps, cause others to reach
out a helping hand. Such only
delude themselves by their course.
Like the natural grunter the pig
the human grunter soon finds
that he is shunned for his disa
greable ways.
