Montour American FRANK C. ANGLE, Proprietor. Danville, Pa., June 2. 1910. FIGURES SHOW THRIFT INCREASE HARKISBURQ, Pa.. .Trine 1. Figures quoted by State Commis sioner of Banking William H. Smith in liis annual report, which was sent to Governor Edwin S. Stuait a few days ago, show that last year institu tions doing a general banking business under the supervision of the State De partment of Banking held 1,(109,379 deposit accounts. These figures, taken with data pre viously published showing the im mense resources of Pennsylvania's financial institutions, in addition to national banks, are indicative of the thrift of the Ponnsylvanian.be he cap italist, salaried man or wage earner. An encouraging feature of the fig ures referring to the number of in dividual deposits is that almost one third are in savings institutions, such deposits usually being made by men and women who can lay by only small amounts at one time, and who never accumulate a very large deposit. Commissioner Smith's figures show that trust companies on November 6, 1909, just three weeks before the end of the fiscal year covered by the re port, had 785,:if>8 deposit accounts; savings institutions had 450,540, and banks had 427,471. Some attention in the report is de voted to the reviewing of conditions generally, and especially to pointing out the forward strides which have been made by trust companies since the creation of the State Department Of Banking in 1892. TOWN WITHOUT A PAPER How many country newspapers, daily or weekly, are there that could live six months if they had to depend npon the income derived from sub scriptions? Very few of them could make expenses. They must depend up on their advertising and job work. Yet some jieople are unreasonable enough to complain that there are too many advertisements in the paper,and others care so little for the welfare of the local papers as to send their job printing out of town. What is a local newspaper? It is a board of trade, a trumpet of the town's advantages, a history. It is a policeman, a chaperon, j a defender of your rights and a board of health. It is an tionest advisor, if in the hands of an honest man. It warns you against frauds. It rejoices with yon when you are glad and mourns with you when you need a comforter. It is the guardian angel of your moral, intellectual and physical health. It sticketh closer than a broth er. Do you help to support your home newspaper? Printers' Marks. The interrogation mark or "point' 1 (V» was originally a "q" and an "o," I the latter placed under the former. They were simply the first and last letters of the Latin word "questio." So, 100, with the sign of exclamation j or Interjection (!i. In lis original pu- j rlty it was a combination of"1" and | "o," the latter underneath, as in the question mark. The two stood for j "lo," she Latin exclamation of joy. J The paragraph mark is a Greek "p." j the initial of (lie word paragraph. The | early printers employed a dagger to show that a word or sentence was ob- | jectlonable nnd should be cut out. A Silent Man. Jorklns—There's Perkins—you know Perkins—entered into an agreement j with his wife soon after their mar riage, twenty years ago, that when ever either lost temper or stormed the other was to keep silence. Bob—And the scheme worked? Jorkiiis—Admi rably. Perkins has kept silence for ( twenty years. Take Your Choice. Prom Sir John Lubbock wo take this ennobling thought: "You may see in a shallow pool either the mud lying ! at the bottom or the image of the blue sky above." A Powerful Weapon. They were examining au old fash ioned shotgun of murderous build. It j looked as if It would be an effective | weapon against anything short of an j elephant, and its owner was boasting with that scorn of fact which is allow ed the successful hunter of its power. "Doesn't it kick like anything?" ask ed one. "Oh. yes, it kicks some," said the proprietor, "but that's the beauty of it. Why, once 1 shot at a grizzly that was charging inc. I missed him, and on he came. If it had not been that the gun kicked me so far back that I had time to reload I shouldn't have been here to tell History."— Youth's Coinuaulon. .. 60 YEARS' eX P E RIE NC E ™ f.a ■ j ■ 114 l I ■ % 1 'TfTV COPYRIGHTS AC.

GRANGE HALL IS DEDICATED The new hall built by Valley grange at Fensterinacher's coiner was dedic ated yosterday. The occasion was one that appealed to followers of agricul tural pursuits and nearly the entire countryside turned out. There were Boveral hundred people in attendance the most of whom took dinner, which was served on the ground floor of the hall by the ladies of Valley grange. Pomona grange, No. 81, comprising the counties of Montour and Northum berland, held a meeting in the new ball. During the session reports were presented by the various granges of the two counties, which on the whole were encouraging, showing an in crease in both interest and member ship. The dedicatory exercises were held in the afternoon and were in charge of State Grange Master William T. Creasy, who was assisted by State Grange Lecturer E. B. Dorsett, of Mansfield, Tioga county. The dedicat ory ceremony is very interesting and under the two high officials yesterday was rendered with due effect. The address of Professor Agee of j State college,pruved to be one of great j interest to farmers. He spoke mainly !on organization, picturing the ideal conditions that would prevail in every farming community if the grange idea were carried out and there were per fect co-operation along all lines. State Grange Master William T. Creasy spoke at length, dwelling main ly on "Legislation," explaining what laws are necessary to prevent monop olists from getting hold of the farms and to conserve the interests of the common people generally. State Lecturer Dorsett delivered a very entertaining address, dwelling principally upon the growth of the grange in Pennsylvania. The new hall is a most complete building, 24x40 feet and two stories high. It is a frame structure with metal roof and siding. It is very nice ly finished on the inside, being plast ered and artistically painted. The floor is carpeted, which adds much to the coziness of the hall. The officers of Valley grange are as follows: Master, J. A. Merrill; secre tary, Mrs. Augusta Merrill; treasurer, E. E. Kenn; chaplain, Frank Fenster ' macher; overseer, Enoch Williams; j steward, Richard Rogers. Mrs. Rich ard Rogers is Ceres; Mrs. Enoch Wil | liams, Pomona, Frank Fen | stermacher, Flora.

STABBING ENDS 111 VICTIM'S DEATH Heiiry Liclitenleitner, who was ftab bed Tuesday morning at Shamokin hy Anthony Rizzi, died from peritonitis at 2 o'clock yesterday morning at the Ashland hospital. Sergeant Weismnnd, of the Sliamok iu detail of State Constabulary, went to Sunbury yesterday morning and took the'piiosner fiom the county jail back to Shamokin. The Italian suspect ed what had happened and prayed when he saw the policeman. He was afraid togo back to Shamokin. He was given a hearing before Just ice McCormick at Shamokin. When asked why he stabbed Liclitenleitner, he said that he had laughed at him. Charles Liclitenleitner, nephew of the deceased, and August Bombazine, the two men who were with him at the time he was stabbed, testified that they were talking to him when Kizzi suddenly came from behind a tree, slashed him across the abdomen and ran. When captured,the bloody knife, six inches long and very rusty was found on his person. The deceased while lie was being taken to the hospital said that lie had seen the Italian, who lived within a block of him but did not know him and had never paid any attention to him. Kizzi was taken back to jail at Sun bury yesterday afternoon, being held without bail. Counsel will likely be appointed for him by the court and he will be tried for murder at the Septem ber session. An African Cannibal Race. One of the queer customs of the Baamba race in Africa Is cannibalism of a particularly loathsome form, ac cording to a writer In the Geograph ical Journal. Families exchange tbelr young children, who are then eaten. He continues that the Baamba In many cases file their teeth, but thla practice Is not quite general. They are Jovial despite these singular char acteristics. The Bunyoros. another tribe, have an unpleasant custom of extracting the four lower incisors, which causes tie upper teeth to grow forward, Imparting to their mouths a most unbecoming rabbit-like appear ance. The Bahima, he says again, be lieve vaguely in an all powerful dlety, who Is associated mainly with rain, thunder and other weather phenome na. They endeavor to propitiate va rious devils, most of whom are con nected with the prevalent diseases, by erecting joss houses In which food and beer are placed. They Invariably car ry round the neck wooden charms or small goats' horns which have been invested with magical power by the medicine men and usually wear wlr« bracelets and anklets. Not Troubled.

J. K. WOOD GEO. \V. 110 YD I'assenger Traffic Manager lientrnl Agent She Repudiated the Charge. At the men's service In a Yorkshire parish the vicar tried to convey the lesson Ihnt the truest heroes and hero ines are those who ilo noble deeds in the secret corner of the home, where none cau see or applaud. "Few of you seem to think," lie con cluded, "that your wives staying at home uncomplainingly to mind the children and prepare the meals are heroines, and yet their touching devo tion to duty proves them to he so." It certainly hadn't struck one old farmer In this way before, and as soon as he got home he promptly told his wife that the vicar had called her a heroine. "Whatever does that mean?" asked the pood lady. "Oh, It means a woman who stays in t' house Instead of goln* art to show liersen," explained the farmer vaguely. "Then I'm not a heroine, an' I'll thang t' vicar to mind what he's say- In'," snapped the wife. "I goto his church as much as t' other women do, an' he must be blind If he can't see me.
