FARMERS ARE AT
STATE COLLEGE
STATE OOLIjKGK, Dec. 20. j
Despite the severity of the weather
huudreds of farmers are at Statu Col
lege, to attend the tlfth annual "farm
ers' week" exercises, which opened
here yesterday. That them l meetlugs
are gaining a State-wide reputation is
evidenced by the fact that yesterday
bv noon 25 counties, including those j
in the extreme ends of the State, were j
represented.
The program arranged includes more J
thau 100 lectures bv men of high stand
ing. Scarcely any importmit phase of ;
agricultural work his been oiuitteil
aud the program is arrauged that no
farmer can give attention to topics [
which gives him chief concern.
Actiug Dean Alva Agee, m a pleas
ing and characteristic talk, welcomed |
the visitors.
The feature deuvinding greatest at- j
tentlou on the first day is the exhibit
of various horticultural, field, poultry J
and domestic scieuce, products. The
apple exhibits reflect special interest j
on the part of the fruit groweip of the 1
State.
Yesterday's program included leot- ]
ures on judging of live stork. B. O. i
Seversou.who has charge of this work, j
used pure bred specimens of sheep to |
show the characteristic difference be-!
tween wool and mutton types. He ad-!
vocated a much largei use of land in
Pennsylvania for uiuttou production,
thus decreasing the cost to the con- j
turner aud increasing the profits of the
pioneers.
The second section of this work was
JU charge of Prof. W. A. Oocliel who
discussed the difference between bacon
and laid type of hogs. He showed
how the type most desired by the
butcher is not always the most profit
able for the farmer, advocated a more
general use of the lard type aud point
ed out the necessity of more careful
selection for contribution, vigor, pro
ductivity and early maturing qualities.
Pennsylvania farmers showed their
interest in corn improvement when
they tilled a large lecture room to hear
Prof. G. 1. Christie, of Perdue Univ
ersity, deliver a lecture on corn grow
ing Pennsylvania grows more than
160,000 acres of corn annually, with
an aveiage yield of 35 bushels per
acre. That this could be greatly in
creased by proper attention to selec
tion aud care of seed was clearly de
monstrated.
QUICK CLIMATIC CHANGES try

other evils, nasal catarrh, a trouble
some and offensive disease. Sneezing
and snuffling, coughing and difficult
breathing, and the drip, drip of the
foul discharge into the throat—all are

STATE GRANGE DEMANDS
Before tho State Grange concluded
its business at Butler last week it
passed a resolution calling for an in
vestigation "of the charge of Gover
nor Stuart, when vetoing the school
code, that there was interlineations
made after the passage of the bill."
The resolution demands that the guilty
persons he punished. Other resolutions
passed follow :
Censuring the National Grange for
wasting time on trival matters to the
detriment of progressive issues.
Endorsing tho call for a conference
of state granges on a paioels post.
Censuring the National Grange for
expelling from the sixth degree J. W.
Helme, of Adrian, Mich., and George
P. Hap ton, of New York.
Advocating the changing of time at
which Congiessmen take their seats,
advancing their inauguration to a
time nearer their election.
Advocating that all state officers bo
nominated at direct primaries.
Protesting agaiust the passage of a
bill to discontinue the printing of en
velopes by the government.
Favoring the amunding of the vac
cination bill.
Commending Hie State department
for its effort to have Germany remove
tlie import tux on potash.
Urging the State Highway depart
ment to use brick instead of m ioadam.
Asking that quail he protected for
Rye years.
Approving the appointment by the
master of the grange of a legislative
agent.
Advocating a change in the law re
quiring examination of tubercular cat
tle, declaring it as arbitrary.
There are only a few really great
po> ts in any generation. At 'present
they are exceptionally scarce.
AS RESULT OF
AMENDMENTS
ll seem* to be the prevailing opin
ion that the State legislature will he
ompidled to straighten out the many
tangle* that have resulted In regard to
the terms of certain public officers In
the cities, boroughs and townships a*
a roult nf the amendment* made to
the State Constitution at the la*t elec
tion. Hornugh Solicitor Edward S.
Ocarhart ha* addressed a oommuiiica
lion to the borough council warning
it ot grave risk* and dangers And ex
plaining what course may be safely
pursued.
Mr. Gearhart ntates that it Is con
ceded that the lerms of afloouncilmcn
elected in 1008 for three veals are ex
tended until the tlrst Monday of Dec
euiber, Hill, and their successors will
be elected at the November election
of Hill and shall serve for four years.
The terms of all oomioilmcn elected
in P.WW shall be extended to the first
Monday of December HUH.
But the grave question feems to be,
when shall the council elected in Nov
ember, 1011, be organized? SVhen are
the president, secretary aud other
otficials of the council aud borough
and whose terms expire under the pre
sent law on the first Monday of March,
1911, to be elected'/ Who is to thus
sin " > between the first Mondiy ill
March, 1011, mid the first Monday in
December, 1011? Or, should the legis
lature fix a still later time for the re
oigauixatiou of council than the first
Monday of December, 1011, who is to
thus serve from the first Monday in
March, 1011, until such later time?
These arc practical questi ms, Mr.
Gearthart says, that either remedial
legislation or the courts must deter
mine. In the absence of action of gome
sort from either one of the above
sources the borough solicitor advises
that the only safe course for council
to pursue would be for its entire mem
bership to convene in regular session
on the first Monday of March, 1011,
the same as formerly, and re-elect all
of its present oflicials whose terms
would expire at that time to continue
to serve in their respective capacities
until the regulai organization of the
next couueil on the first Mouday of
December, 1011, or until such time
| after that as the next legislature or
i the court must designate.
Should the offloials not bo temporari
ily re-elected as above advised and
| should it be found that their terms
I ended on the first Monday of March,
! litll, then every act of council between
the latter date aud the first Monday of
j December, 1011, would be absolutely
( null and void and illegal for the sim
ple reason that council was without
organization and officials during that
time.

NEW JUDICIAL DISTRICT
The Selinsgrove Times states that
there is much discussion over the pro
position of combining the judicial dis
trict of Union and Snyder counties
with that of Northumberland. In the
Union-Snydei district there is scarce
ly enough business to keep a law judge
busy, while the two judges now in
Northumberland county could readily
take care of the additional business
from Union aud Snyder.
Should the districts bo combined by
the legislature at its coming session it
would probably go into effect before
the judicial election ne: i year. Sny
der and Union are normally Republi
can counties and Northumberland is
evenly divided, so a consolidation
would likely throw the balance in
favor of the Republicans. Both judges
in Northumberland county now are
Democrats.
FIRE IN BERWICK SCHOOL
Hix hundred pupils' lives were en
dangered in the Berwick High Srliool
building. when a file occurred iu the
supply room at about 11 o'clock Mon
day morning. Pvvsence of mind and
quick action on the part of the teach
ers and their pupils alone paved a
panic, tlie probable destruction of the
building, and mavhe a terrible IOSR of
life As it was the flames were ex
tinguished with a loss of about fliOO.
John llaas,teacher of the sixth grade
ot what is known as the "old wing'
of the building noticed a small bit of
smoke come culling through under the
door of the supply room, which opens
into liis room. Ito quietly informed
his pupils that they would Le allowed
togo home for the rest of the morn
ing, and as is the custom when dis
missing he bad them march out of the
room and building. Then he went up
stair; and told Prof, Sigmau.the prin
cipal, of the tire, aud he quickly saw
that all of the (100 pupils were dismiss
ed However, before they could all be
gotten out siuoke commenced to Jill
the building and there was a cry of
lire. The pupils remained oiderly,
however, and all got out of the build
ing without any undue excitement.
Homo of the larger boys assisted the
two t 'achers in carrying water aud
throwing it into the room. In the
meantime an alarm of firu had been
turned iu, and the Are department re
sponded . but its aid was unnecessary.
The lire was due to an overheated
furnace and tablets, pencils and other
upplie s were destroyed.

McDowell, who found that John W
Barnes, the gravodigger, had made ex

top from the cottiu and shoveled out
dried bones, which lay scattered on
each of the open grave. Being warned
not to bury the body in the old grave, ,
Jackson's remains weie removed back
to the undertaker's, and the mourners i
in six cabs were conveyed to their i
homes. McDowell «ill consult with |
the Statu Health Department as to ,
what course to pursue. The health an- -

nnlated In town there will be many
eager signers. Conditions relating to
tIM river water seem to be going ftotu
bad to worse. Tuesday the offensive
odor and taste, which (wriodieally
characterize* the water, was so mark
ed that a protest want up all ovet
town.
The same complaint, which has be
come quite familiar by this time, was
heard yesterday; the watei seemed im
pregnated with teme matter that ini
tialled an odor resembling carbolic
acid or some other disinfecting chemi
cal. During yesterday the odor was
inoTe in evidence than during any tiiue
of the past.
I An investigation will convince any
one that tin* odor does not originate at
the water works. The wells in the
river were cleaned out recently, and
it would be begging the question to
say that the odor originates there. It
is a demonstrated f n(! t that the wafer
is impregnated when it is pnm|ied
from the riter. How the chemical or
whatever it is finds its way into the
river is a mystery that remains to be
cleared up.
id any people are of the opinion that
tin offensive odor originates n the
laundry of rlii! hospital tor the insane
and that it adheres to the sewage lur
ing the proc -i of purification and
passes into the river with the efflti. at.
Whether this is correct or not water
fakers do not want the effluent in the
river. In itself is not pleasant t'v
contemplate, but carrying with it the
odors com plained -jl it becomes donbi;«
objectionable.

MAY GET AN ARMORY
The prospect of an armory being
eracted in Danville by the State is
ag.\in brought prominently to the fore
by the aumwnceinent of the program
which the State armory board will
put up to the next legislature. The
board will ask for an ippropiiatiou
sufficient togo ahead at once with the
ooastruction af armories for all of the
National Guard organizations in the
State. To ac.tnnplish this the legislat
ure will be asked to appropriate a sum
of $1,500,000 for construction, ijaiO.OOO
for maintenance and £IO,BOO to meet
the deficit ol maintenance charges this
yeau.
This request will be urged on the
ground that ir, will not only enable
the commonwealth to complete its
building prorgaui, I ut will be advant
ageous because in many instances,
through donations of land, the state
will receive considerable more value
thas it invests in building
The request of $1 .iiOO.OOO for build
ing purposes is based on a program to
/•onstrui t an armory for every organ
ization in the National Guard in the
slate, outside of Philadelphia Pitts
burg and Scranton an.l about nine
teen other cities and towns being al
ready cared for. In the list is $25,000
for each of the infantry companies
and |as,ooo for each battery of artil
lery and ftoop of cavalry.
A maintenance item of fiO.OOO is
based on the legal reqniiement with
the income of companies from rent of
armories taken into aooouut. This
vear there was a deficit of SIO,OOO in
the maintenance account, hast session
the board asked for $900,000 and got
$350,000, the suui of SIOO,OOO being cut
off the hill as passed by tiie governor
in his reduction of appropriations.
So far the state has spent about sl,-
000,000 on armories and has value of
$1,500,000. Twenty-three armories are
completed and three will be finished
with iu a vear.
