ILL EXPLOIT "GRAVEL BANK" John Koini has purchased of W. G. Shoop.the largo deposit of brick shale known a the "gravel bank" near tho old fair grounds. Ho will utilize the shale in tho manufacture of brick or exploit it in some way that will soon bring it into the market. There is no question as to the qual ity of the shale or its general adapta bility for making brick. The deposit, which is fclmost illimitable in extent, has at various times attracted atenhou of capitalists. Some five of six years ago experiments were conduoted with the shale, and paving brick were pro duced, which rivaled the best grade of vitrified brick in the market. It is suitable for making building as well as paving brick and can be utilised; in road construction. It is the only deposit of its kind in this section. Th 6 shale would probably have been exploited before now, if it could have been purchased at a figure low enough Mr. Keim states that lie lias secured possession of the big deposit at a \ or) advantageous figure. Just what im mediate steps lie may take to utilize or get the value out of the shale he is not at present prepared to say, but it is not his intention to let it lie idle.

FOR CENSUS ' ENUMERATORS The examination for census euurner e ators for Montour county was held 0 in this oity on Saturday, twenty-two e applicants fining in the class. The r examination Waft held in the high [i school'room It was under the rules of the civil service and was conducted . by Ralph B. Diehl, Secretary of the - local civil servioe board. , The census supervisor of this dis , trict is Benjamin Apple, of Sunbury. 1 There are fourteen - enumerators neod s ed in Montour county. This.it might i be supposed, implies ono for each vot - ing precihet but such <b not the case, t In the first and third wards of Dan h ville each, owing to the larger popu -1 lation, the work of taking the census 1 will be divided between two enumer r ators. Conevrsely in some sparse ly-settled rural districts, two tbwn x ships will be given to one enumerator. i There was no scarcity of applicants i a.s was evidenced by the size of the [ class. Among those examined were some from Northumberland county, living near the south side, who on ! the advice of Supervisor Apple, took i tho examination here as more conven ; ient. The latter are, of course, ap plicants for positions in Northumber land county. In the class among others were applicants frcm Washing tonville and White Hall. Those who anticipated an easy ex amination were mildly disappointed; yet there was nothing whatever im practicable about the questions. The idea seemed to be not BO much to test the educational ability of the ap plicant as his general intelligence and judgment, that would enable him to satisfactorily perform the duties of census enumerator. Each applicant was given a supposed case, in which occurred practically all the different kinds of data that he would be called upon to make a separate and special account of. He was supplied with a blank which he was required to fill out, thereby demonstrating his ability and general fitness for the work.Those who took the examination for the ru ral districts and had the agricultural sheet to handle had by far the heav ier part of it; beginning at 9:80 a. m., they did not finish until 1:30 p. m., where the applicants for urban* ! districts got through in about threo hours. The class was made up of males ex clusively, the most of the applicants being men of some experience in cler ical work. i Following the examination Mr. | Diehl forwarded the ; papers to Census , Supervisor Benjamin Apple, by whom they will be examined. It will jirob- , ably be some time before tho appoint- ' ments will be made. Sore Lungs and Kaw Lungs. ( Most people know the feeling, and 1 the miserable taste of ill health it in- ( dicates.

HIGH SCHOOL 111 > FIRST GRADE The Danvillo high school, which I owing to a former arrangement of the > course of study, was relegated to the j second class for a year or so, has been i reinstated in the first class. 'News to the above effect was received by Treas- I urer M. H. Schram Saturday, along j with a check from the department for $460, the amount of the State appro - priation due tho district for maintain ing ing a borough high school of the - first grade. ; The amount of State appropriation . received by the Danville district'for the year ending June, 1908, when our high school was temporarily in the second grade, was $337.50. For main i taining a borough high school fox the year ending June, 1909, tho appropria tion was fouud sufficient to pay as fol lows: First grade, $460; second grade, $345; third grade, S2BO. Tho local sell 00l authorities were groatly surprised a year or so ago to learn that the courso of study had as sumed such shape as to disqualify the high school for a place in the first grade under existing rules. The course of study was at once revised with the result that, as above stated, the high school has again taken its place in thg first grade, a position to which it has never for a moment heen disqualified, if measured by the strength and ability of the faculty and the excellent re sults attained in teaching.

RURAL INSPECTION RULES ARE GIVEN i The secretaries of township school i boards in Montour county have been receiving oopies of a circular letter > that State Health Commissioner Dix i on is sending oat relative to the health of the pupils attending the "little red : school houses" in the rural districts of the state. The aot of Assembly of 1907 provides that where heating is accomplished by a common stove, this stove shall in ]>art be enolosed with a shield or jacket of sufficient height and suitable matorial so as to protect all pupils while seated at their desks from di rect rays of heat. It further provides that the school rooms shall be furnish ed with ample means of ventilation and that a thermometer shall be kept in each room so that standard systems of heating and ventilation can be se cured. There seems to have been difficulty in various localities with the matter of jacketing stoves. This, however, should not be the case," writes Health Commissioner Dixon, ' for we believe in all in stances the stoves can be jacketed in snch a way as to comply with the law without interfering with the heating of the rooms. The screen in common use consists of a solid band of galvan ized iron which extends around three sides of the stove. Where this kind of a screen interferes with the proper heating of the room it can be modi fied by using a screen composed of strips." The circular letter continues as fol lows : "The health officers ot the sev eral districts of the State, under in structions from the Department of Health, make two inspections of schools each year in townships of the second class and report to this depart ment. "It is not only the purpose of the Department of Health, in making these inspections and sending out these notices, to secure the observance of existing laws regarding the sauitary conditions of schools, but also to en courage and assist boards of school di rectors to make all necessary or desir able sanitary improvements. "Surface closets are in all instances undesirable because they are con trary to the spirit of this act and also in violation of the acts of Assembly regaridng pollution of streams. Of necessity they are at all times over flowing and during rainy seasons this overflow washes into the water cours es and streams. "Regarding the matter of water supply, it is, of courso, always desir able that the children be furnished with the best drinkug water that can possibly bo obtained in the vicinity, and that sauitary measures in regard to drinking cups and utensils for hold ing water be maintained in the school room. "If water is secured from a spring or well this spring or well should be protected from surface drainage and from water seeping back into it. "Individualdrinking cups in schools are a necessity and must bo provided either by the pupils or the school au thorities and provisions made for fill ing them, either by a cooler with a spigot, or, if a bucket is used, a com mon dipper should be provided and the water dipped from the bucket in this dipper and the dj inking cups fill ed in that way. The children should not be allowed to dip their cups into the bucket. The use of a common drinking cup in the school room is ex ceedingly dangerous and a constant meuaoe to the health of all the pupils. "These matters are of great import ance and it should bo the aim of all boards of school directors to comply with these laws and to further im prove sanitary conditions in their schools jnst as much as local condi tions will allow."

LARGE POULTRY I FARM AI ESPY il George B. Markle, the wealthy in n dependent coal operator of Hazleton, r who is well known in this city, has :- purchased a farm at Espy, Columbia h county, whore he intends togo into the il chicken raising business on a gigantic s scale! The comprises 173 acres and g was not bought merely because of the 1 excellent shipping facilities it affords, 1 but for the reason that it was once the r property of a Markle ancestor. b Mr. Markle expects to raise 170,000 B chickens during the first year. The farm will be stocked, first with , white Wyandottes, white Orpingtons, . Barred Plymouth Rocks, Rhode Island i Reds, Leghorns and Minorcas. Egg t production will not be the sole object g of breeding, but will simply figure as . part of a general plan. Scientists have figured out that somo P thing like a total of 650 eggs measures r the greatest possible production of a single hen, and the Espy policy will bo to feed only the birds that show a 5 tendency to produce this total in the r fewest years. Incubation will be far less burden -1 some at Espy than it generally is in the farming districts. Electricity will ' bo used exclusively, aud incubators 1 will be kept going the whole year around. ' Mr. Markle has had an experimental poultry farm in Sugarloaf Valley,near Hazleton, but this will probably be . abandoned for the Espy enterprise. It will be the aim of Mr. Markle to raise birds and supply eggs principally for the New York and Philadelphia mark et and he will give the business the same careful attention that he would any other enterprise conducted for profit. PILLOW SAVED HER LIFE A pillow was the means of saving the life of agerl Mrs. Hannah Bechtel when she took a plunge down a flight of stairs at the home of Mrs Susan Boone at Washingtonville Sunday night. As it was Mrs. Bechtel sustained a fracture of both bones of the right fore arm at the wrist, a severe gash on her noso and severe bruises about her head, which were dressed by Dr. Snyder. Mrs. Bechtel resides in Derry town ship and was visiting at the home of Mrs. Boone in Washingtonville. Sun day evening she was carrying a pillow in the hall of the second floor of the Boone home, when she walked into the open stairway and fell all the way to the bottom of the flight of steps.

On his way home the animal was taken sick. The best Mr. I Billmeyer could do was to unhitch the horse and allow it to get along the best it could while he himself pulled the sleigh. The horse got home first j and herein lies the story. When the horse, minus the sleigh, I appeared at the Billmeyer home there I was alarm and consternation. The logical conclusion was that a runaway j had occurred and there was much un ceitainty as to the fate of the driver. Wlille the suspense was at its height the family called up several places in Danville to see if anything could bo learned as to the whereabouts iof Mr. Billmeyer. People in Danville recalled seeing Harry driving out l of town a short time before with a very spirited horse and they wantbd : no bitter evidence than the 'despatch frbrn the Billmeyer home to suggest th*t he had met with a bad acoident A short conversation over the 'phone Cleared up the mystery. His horse, a valuable and spirited animal, proved to be afflicted with azoturla. It rapidly developed the eharacteristlc symptoms and, when on the top of the hril about a mile from hofne, it fell in the Snikitt.' Jkr.

INGLES ARE IIP ' TO LEGISLATURE It is the opinion of many of the , state officials and others at Harris s burg that, the state legislators will be i compelled to straighten out the many b tangles that have resulted in regard to 3 the terms of certain public officers in the cities, boroughs and townships as [ a result of the amendments made to i the state constitution at the last elec , tion. The Harrisburg Telegraph says: s "It will be necessary to take legis lative action on the length of terms ) of various public officers, provision for which was not made in the recent i ly adopted amendments aud schedule. As judges of the county courts can 1 only be elected in odd-numbered years, at municipal elections, it will ; be necessary to lengthen for ono year i the terms of the judges whoso com missions expire with the end of 1912- ) 14-16 and 1918. The schedule lias al i ready provided that those judges whoso terms expire with the end of 1910 shall continue in office another i year. i"The terms of justice of the peace end on the first Monday of May, ex cept those to be elected in February, 1910, who will serve until the first Monday in December, 1915. The act should specifically state when the terms shall end of those elected iu 1906-07-08. Those elected in 1906 should Ibe lengthened to the first Monday iu December, 1911. Those elected in 1907 and 1908 to the first Monday in Dec ember, 1918, and those elected in 1909 I to December, 1915. i "All townships, borough, ward and j city officers who were elected in 1908, for throe years, are provided for by the schedulo;they will servo until the first Monday of December, 1911, and their successors will be elected at the November eleotion of 1911, and serve four years. The terms of all of this class of officers, who were elected in 1909, should bo extended to the first Monday in December, 1913. "Tho terms of all officers who have in tho past been elected for four years should bo extended to tho first Monday in Deeembor of the proper year; those who were elected in 1907, to Decem ber, 1911; those elected in 1908, either to the same date although this would shorten their present term a few months, or else to December, 1913, which would lengthen their term one year aud eight months. Those elected in 1909 for four years are provided for iu the schedule, and will serve un til Deeembor 1913. 'The officers elected for two years j in 1909 should serve until the first Monday of December, 1911. Those officers whose terms have heretofore I been either ono yearjor two years will I serve by direction of tho schedule un- I til December, 1911. "Through some inadvertence, the ] terms of office of assessors who are to i be elected iu February 1910, are made l to expire on the first Monday of Dec- j ember, 1911, as stated in the third ; j paragraph of the schedule, although [ j heretofore these officers have been j j elected for three year terms, and there | is no doubt that their successors will [ serve for four years.

HUItGRY RABBITS PEELING TREES The earth being covered with snow iu many sections of Ponusylvania, and not all the rabbits having fallen vio tiins last fall to the gunners, numer ous complaints are being received by the Division of Zoology of the Penn sylvania Department of Agricultrue, in regard to trees being damaged and. destroyed by rabbits preying upon the bark. One grower in Westmoreland, connty wrote to State Zoologist H. A. Surface, stating that of 1,300 tree*, planted one, two and three years ago, and which made a nice growth, quite a number have had their bark peeled off by rabbits He asked for some sim ple remedy to prevent this destruction aud made this further inquiry: "Would black, roof paint—some thing of a coal tar nature—be injur ious to the trees? 1 have tried it on a few trees, and the rabbits have not worked on such trees and this would be an easy way to stop them, but I am afraid I might injure the trees by such an application. " The advice of Professor Surface was to the following effect: "Replying to your recent letter ask ing how to prevent rabbits from peel ing your young trees, I beg to say that the chief tiling to do is to cut some branches from tieos that need pruning (from either these or older trees), and drop the branches on the snow where the rabbits can ge tat them. Tho next thing is to paint the 'runks of your young trees with pure white lead and a good quality of raw linseed oil. "Painting or spraying with lime sulphur wash, or with the sediment that is left from boiling lime-sulphur wash for San Jose scale, will also pre vent injury for some time. Some per sons recommend killing a rabbit and rubbing its insides over the trunks of the trees. Blood painted or sprayed on the trunks of trees is often used to re pel them. Personally, I prefer either the paint or the lime-sulphur wash mentioned above. I have tried both, in our experiments on my own trees, with good results. "Coal tar might be all right, but I know where a nice orchard of young apple trees was killed by painting witli coal tar and linseed oil, and I hesitate to recommend this on that ac count. I have never tried it on my own trees, and I am satisfied with the effi cacy of tho linseed oil aud white lead treatment."
