Montour American i_ ~ FRANK C. ANGLE, Proprietor. Danville, Pa., Apr. 28, 1910. RAG AFLOAT II THE park The flag presented to the borough by Mr. Frank Do Long last summer was ■unfurled to the breeze from its high fltaff in Memorial park for the first time this season yesterday. The appearance of the handsome flag of which every one is so proud, was hailed with delight. As the stars and Btripes floated on the gentle April breeze it was indeed an inspiring sight. From now on, except when the weath er conditionss are unfavorable, old glory will most of the time be kept in the breeze. MORE SEATS. As the season advances people are beginning to frequent Memorial park in the usual numbers aud already the need of additional seats is apparent. Owing to the lack of seats the watch man has difficulty in keeping people off the grass. A few visitors are able to find accommodation oil the settees and others crowding around are pret ty sure to encroach upon the sod. The ground along the edge of the park beds opposite each of the iron Bettees is bare where the sod lias been killed by people either treading upon it or using it as a place to sit upon. During the summer when the park as a breathing place for the town's population brings out people by the score at any hour of the day certainly there should be seats enough for all. We have the experience of last sum mer to demonstrate that the lack of accommodations in this respcet de tracted considerably from the pleas ure of those visiting the park. Several persons, among them being one or more councilman, are agitating the matter of more seats and it is not unlikely that council will take the matter up at its next meeting. Wind Velocity. The majority of people are unable to determine the wind's velocity. When the smoke from a chimney moves In a «traight, vertical column, It means that a one to two miles an hour breeze is blowing. A three miles an hour wind will just stir the leaves on the trees. Twenty-five miles an hour will sway the trunks; at forty the small branches will break, and it takes a mile a min ute gale to snap the trunks of big trees.—London Answers. Advice. "Nobody listens to advice." "You're wrong. One fellow always does." "Who's that?" "The fellow who's giving It."—Cleve- Jand Leader. Playful Monkeys. j pes and gorillas are usually vicloU9 ar 1 resentful and less addicted to ■playful tricks than the common mon key. Indeed, the monkey, as we all know, is a trickster both hi his wild and domestic state. Iu their native for ests monkeys spend hours in swinging from the branches of trees, suspended by their tails, and chattering and gri macing with evident signs of delight.

Much inter est is shown, as the university is "Weston wild," and many of the stu dents are taking long daily walks. A Reliable Remedy for ' CATARRH Ely's Cream Balm V ER j Sr il quickly absorbed.

Ono of the most daring burglaries ever perpetrated iu Bradford county was committed at the home of John 13arr, in Litchfield. After a desperate battle between Bair, his wife and the three burglars,the Bairs were clubbed into submission and the house was ransacked. The burglars made a torch by tying together two sticks and inserting be tween tlieni a piece of waste saturated witli oil. By the flare of the torch they went to the ham, found a big whiffle tree, smashed the door of Barr's home and walked in. Barr grappled with the first man through the opening and was punishing him severely when the robber cried out to his companions: "He is killing me." Barr was chew ing the robber's ear to mincemeat,and a confedreate struck Barr over the head witli the whiffletree Mrs. Barr was seized and both were bound with sheets torn into strips for the purpose. The robbers demanded slooo,but the Barrs declared there was no such sum of money ill the house. The robbers made a hurried searcli and found sl9. |Finally one of the men picked Barr's watcli from a nail on which it hung and laid it on his body,saying:'' Here's a Christmas present for you!" He picked up Mrs. Barr's watch, and she begged him not to take it."l don't want watches," the robber said, "I want money to pay taxes!" Soon after the robbers left Barr got loose and rang the telephone vigorous ly, but the wire had been cut. He got his horse and drove hastily to Sayre. On his way he saw a man by the road side. Barr pointed a revolver at the pedestrian and took him to Sayre, where he was detained overnight. There was no evidence against the captive and he was released. The day before Barr was in Nichols with a large sum of money. Ho saw a man watohing him, and immediately went to the bank and deposited all but $!10, some of which he needed for shopping. His precaution saved his pile. The next night the general store of C. N. Myers, at North Towanda, was robbed ! of goods valued at S4O. A SEA FLIER.

The brick, which uniformly seem of good quality, comprise an interesting collection, including samples from Shawmut.Elk county ; Clearfield,Hills ville and Watsontown as well as from Youngstown, O. Additional samples are arriving every day. In looking over these samples one is roiniuded that Danville has an enorm ous deposit of shale, from which by way of experiment on several occas ions vitrified brick of first class qual ity was manufactured. The Danville brick placed side by side with the samples above alluded to, in all re spects compares favorably with the best of them. Considering that the demand for pav ing brick is an increasing one it is much to be legretted that the project to establish a plant here for the manu facture of vitrified brick set*on foot a few years ago should have so signally failed. Had the enterprise succeeded, at the present wo would have an addi tional industry and instead of having paving brick shipped into town we would be manufacturing them our selves. Obviously it is not too late yet for persons interested in the growth and prosperity of Danville to turn their attention to the big deposit of shale and see what can be done to turn it to practical account.

THE NINETY-FIRST ANNIVERSARY Tlio Independent Order of ';■ Odd Fellows, one of the first of the beneficial frat ernal societies, in point of numbers, wealth, influence, work in charity and caring for sick members, burying its dead and looking after the widows and orphans of deceased members, celebrated on Tuesday the 91st anni versary of its founding in the United States. Although the order does not have its membership scattered so uni versally ovor the world or among so mauy nations as Free Masonry, its in fluence is felt in all civilized count ries and is honored and respected for its philanthropies and help to man kind. The present membership of the ord er in the United States totals 1,888,- 376; in the State of Pennsylvania there are 1,153 subordinate lodges with a membership of 143,150. The total relief paid out to distressed members and their families in the United Stat es for the year 11)08 reached the total of 15,500,825.60. Odd Fellowship emanated from the Manchester Unity, originally a con vivial association modeled on Free Masonry, but it assumed its present form in Manchester about 1813, and spread to the United States about 1819, where in Baltimore, the convivial features were eliminated and "Friend ship, Love and Truth" instituted, foi the relief of brothers sick or in dis tress, and aid for the widow and or ' plians offdeceased brothers. It is not necessary to dwell at length on the order, the membership in Dan ville, comprising as it does leading and representative citizens, in the church, legal profession, mercantile and other business, as well as the plain people, speaks for the order, and the large amount of monies distribut ed in benefits, shows its value to mem bers in sicknss and distress. The three links, "Friendship, Love and Truth" as exemplified by the order, is good practical Christianity. $3.50 Receipe Cures Weak Kidneys, Free Reliever Urinary and Kidney Trouble*, Backache, Straining, Swell ing, Etc.

The Next World. When it comes to admission in the nest world we are all deadheads.—New I 'York Life UNIQUE BIRTHDAY ANNIVERSARY Tim oelebratioii of the 80th anniver sary of the birth of Thomas O. Curry and Hugh O. Curry, twins,at the home of the former, West Mahoning street, Momlay, stands out as unique in the history of Danville or of the entire county. They were born on April 35, 1830, in what was then the old Curry home stead, six miles below Danville. They saw the canal dug, and after many years of usefulness, its discontinu ance; the first T rail ever made in the United States; saw their father help i to build the first church (Presbyterian) | in Danville—in fact every improve- J inent that has supplanted a town of | log cabins and little wooden buildings i has taken place during their lives. When Hugh married Margaret Yorks ' he removed with his wife to Michigan, thus effecting a separation that en- j dured for about twenty-seven years, as from childhood to that time the twins had been inseparable. It was a jolly party that gathered at the old home Monday. It was decid ed some time ago to fittingly celebrate the occasion and Hugh C. Curry, the twin brother, was urged to come east from Kalamazoo, Mich., and he arriv ed safely last Friday. The tables for dinner were set for nineteen people. None of Hugh C. Curry's immediate family were pres ent. The following sat down to a sumptuous repast. Mrs. Elizabeth Fisher, the only daughter; Mr. and Mrs. Hugh C. Cur ry of Brooklyn ; Dr. and Mrs. Edwin A. Curry and daughter Phoebe ; Mr. and Mrs. Thomas C. Curry, Jr., and two daughters, of Sunbury ; Mr. and Mrs. William M. Curry, of Scranton; Mr. and Mrs. John R. M. Curry; Mr. and Mrs. Ralph Curry, of Brooklyn; Miss Mary E. Yorks, a nieco of the two brothers; Mrs. Anna Nesbit, a sister. The tables were beautifully decorat ed with flowers. Over fifty letters, cards aud telegrams of congratulations were received—coming from Kalama zoo, Schoolcraft and Portage, Mich., NVilliamsport, Sunbury and from Dan ville. A large bunch of beautiful roses was sent by Mr. and Mrs. Fred W. Hooper of Wlikes-Barre and a similar testimonial was sent by Mr. and Mrs. Thomas J. Price, of this city. What was greatly appreciated by Thomas C. Curry were two cards from John C. Cruikshank and Frank J. Hoff man, men now in middle life, who were apprentices under Mr. Curry in the old Enterprise Foundry and Mach ine shop, then under the firm name of Cruikshank, Moyer & Curry. During the courses of the dinner the two guests were presented with SBO in gold. After refreshments were over photo graphs were taken of different groups, music was enjoyed and a pleasant aft ernoon was passed in different ways by all. The only absentee of the immediate Thomas C. Curry connection was T. Curry Fisher, of Roanoke, Va. He Saw More Lights. In one of the hotehs recently some new electric lights weiv putin u.-e in | a decorative way. A ui!g e, i • who I lives on the hill happened in curiug the evening it ml noticed the lights. "They're very nice," be said to the j head waiter, "but why didn't you ; put up more?" I The head waiter, knowing the young ! man's fondness for urtii les enumerat ed 011 the wine lis terrible a thing as when It was lit by my ancestors night after night at the mouths of their caves to scare away the ancestors of my dog. And my dog regards it with the old wonder and misgiving. Even in his sleep he opens ever and again one eye to see that we are in no danger. And the tire glow ers and roars through its bars at him with the scorn that a wild beast must needs have for a tamo one. 'You are free,* it rages, 'and yet you do not spring at that man's throat and tear him limb from limb and make a meal of him.' And, gazing at me, it licks its red lips, and I, laughing good humoredly, rise and give the monster a shovelful of its proper food, which it leaps at and uoisily devours." TEACHERS FOR RETIREMENT FUND HAZLETON, Pa., April aT. ! Believing that their needs have not rjceived the proper attention from the State legislators, the school teachers ' in Pennsylvania have started u gener al movement to organize in the in terest of a State retirement fund. In Luzerne county a committee of j three has the work in hand at Huzle ton, and is rapidly ..securing the ap- j pointment of like committees in other cities and towns in that county. Tlie ! work is a campaign of education in re gard to the proposed retirement fund, j The teachers have pledged themselves ! to use their personal influence in ere- ! ating a public sentiment favoring the I scheme, and the county organization will carry the work in a uniform man- nor into all oilier counties. Fuuils for the movement have been provided by tlie teachers assessing themselves 1 per cent, of one month's salary. The Luzerne county impetu has already been made noticeable in other sections, and is rapidly spread ing. Notice.

IS SPRAYING™ WITHJEROSENE An interesting letter was received, at the Division of Zoology of the Pennsylvania Department of Argicul ture from a mania Luzerne county who owns a small fruit garden, and. who has been able to control the in sect pests on his premises by spraying them with kerosene by means of au ordinary perfumery Jatomizer. In writ ing to State Zoologist JH. A. Surface, ia regard to the matter,this man said; "I used a common two-ounce atomiz er filled with clear kerosene. When ever I noticed any insect pests I at once used the kerosene spray. So far my place has been effectually ridden of about everything in the line of in sect pests, and I have not noticed a single instance of damage. As to grape hoppers, I have been surprised to see them fall in showers wherever I have ! used the spray re." i Professor Surface, in acknowledging ; the receipt of this information, wrote : j "lam much gratified to learn of ! your successful experience in using pure kerosene in a hand perfume \ atomizer for insect pests of various i kinds on grape, apple and other trees 1 in your town lot. Your success lays in the fact that you had an atomizer which threw the liquid in the form of a very fine spray or mist; that you could readily control the amount of j liquid applied, and did not put on j enough to drench or even cover the foliage or fruit. If spraying were done in this way, even pure kerosene could be used in more extensive horticultur al work, but the great difficulty is, ' that coarser apparatus is quite liable to throw the kerosene 111 sprinkles 01 large globules, and also apply more ot it, and thus you would have very ser ious results in burning and even re moving the foliage. Spraying with pure kerosene 011 a windy suushiny dpy to promote rapid evaporation is to be recommended for insect posts ot nearly all kinds, if the operator will be sure to use only enough to reach the pests, and be careful that it is ap plied in the form of a very fine mist | and not in drops, however small they j may be."
