West Virginia’s Governor, Dr. Hat-
field, said to be a member of that
mountain family whose feuds have
made it famous, seems to be one of
those men who really do things. He
is rescuing his state from the long
condition of semi-anarchy that led to
the establishment of military rule,
and he is again upholding the supre-
macy of the law. As a not unnatural
sequel it is reported that the coal
operators whose disputes with their
miners precipitated all the trouble
have agreed to advance the men’s
wages, and that a. settlement of the
long existing difficulties is in sight.
Apparently there is no valid reason
why this could not haye been accom-
plished without the good name of the
state being tarnished by all the re-
cent violence and clashes between |
minors and soldiers.—Cumberland

Harrisburg, Pa., March 31—High-
way legislation will take front rank in
the House of Representatives and its
committees in the next fortnight.
Four measures will occupy the atten-
interest for their constituents. Three
of these bills are in the hands of com-
mittees and one is on the calendar of
the House for action. Upon the ac-
tion of the representatives will de-
pend ‘the improvement of the roads
of the State ror years to come, as it
is generally recognized that what the
lower branch of the Legislature will
of Pennsylvania in the development
of its highways. :
The measure on the calendar-with-
favorable recommendation from the:
committee on: public roads is that
which [provides for a system of State
aid for township highways, it being’
the plan to have created’ a State
bureau of township highways ‘which
will supervise the expenditure of pub-
lic money on the local roads through
county superintendents of highway:
(elected by supervisors. This measure
provides for State aid to the extent.
of $20 per mile, the idea being : that
improvement of township roads should
go forward in accord with a well de-
fined plan like that laid down for the
main highways.
In thé appropriations committee is
the bill ‘carrying the general appro-
priations for the conduct of the State
government, including provisions for
maintenance of the highways under
State control and for aid from the
State to counties, townships and bor-
oughs in construction of roads. These
are established metheds for road ad-
ministration and the only question is
how much money can be allotted to
them.
The public roads committee has in
its charge an outline of a bill which
will make such additions to the main
highway system as the committee
will, .find necessary. Mgr: -than- 76

State the proposed amendment to the
constitution to allow Pennsylvania to

State to vote as to whether there

the system of main roads laid down

B. AND O.BLOCKED,
W. M. TRACKS USED.
On Thursday last the trains on the
B.. & O. east of Indian Creek,
were held up for 12 hours. East bound
traffic was held up for 24 hours. A
large rock that had blocked the road
bad to be dynamited before an open-
ing for traffic could be made. The
landslide at Indian Creek cccurred
at 7:00 o'clock. Tons of earth from
the side of the. hill overhanging the
cut'.gave way, burying: both the east:
and the west bound’ tracks. After
several hours work with the steam
shovel the tracks were sufficiently’
cleared. to permit the passage east-
ward of No. 6, which was belated
‘several honrs. Later the water soak-
ed earth gave way burying the tracks
for a distance of several hundred feet
to such a depth that the two steam’
shovels, one from the east side and
,600,000 for im-|the other from the west side could
make little impression on the mass’
of earth and rocks. All the section
hands and wrecking crews of the
Connellsville division were called
into service.

up until midnight and then sent to

ALLY DAY.
The Sunday school of St. Paul,
Wilhelm church will hold its annual
Rally Day on next Sunday, April 6th
at 9 a. m.
There will be a special program,
including a flag drill and other at-
tractive features. New members will
be received, and the school will be-
gin its trip to Palestine Attendance
contest.
The first quarter of 1913, just clos-
ed, witnessed a splendid school and
most excellent work. The enroll-
ment was 195, besides a Home De-
partment of 60, and a Cradle Roll of
44 members. There were present
every Sunday 5 officers, 2 teachers,
and 29 scholars. The contributions,
not including the Home Department
and Cradle Roll, amounted for the
quarter to $32.50. The school is a
front line one, meeting all the re-
quirements of the Standard adopted
by the Somerset County School As-
sociation. The effect of Rally Day
will be greater enthusiasm and work
for the balance of the year.
Everybody is cordizily invited to
the. Rally Day exercises and if not
attending any other school, you are
earnestly invited to enroll with us.

A successful commercial sprayer in
Blair county, i a., who has for some
years been acting upon the advice of
State Zoologist H. A. Surface, and
making a business of spraying trees,
just as owners of threshing machines
make a business of threshing grain,
has just written to Professor Surface
asking ‘How near may the buds be
out until there is danger of scalding
by the Lime-sulfur solution.’”’
The reply, which is important, time-.
ly, and practical, is based upon ex-
perience, and may proye useful to
many readers:
“I know from observation and ex-
perience that you can safely use it
until the pink of the blossoms 1s seen,
or, in other words, until the blossoms
are ready to expand.
‘“This is true not only of apple, but
also of peach. Last year I sprayed
my peach trees after one-fourth of the
blossoms were open, and while I am
not shure that these opening blossoms
were uninjured, I do know that there
was such a heavy crop of fruit on the
trees that I had to hire help to do
considerable thinning by hand, and
keep the trees from overbearing. I
am thus satisfied that no injury came
from the application, in which I used
the strong lime-sulfur, made to the
hydrometer test of 1.03, which is the
strength now generally recommended
for scale. Spraying with this mater-
ial, even when in bloom, will not in-
jure bees because it contains no arse-
nical poison,and the bees will not take
up the lime-sulfur liquid.
