An eminent Etatistican estimates
that during tho course ot an ordinary
lire, the nverago man will eat seven
rour-liorse loads of food more than Is
Rood for him.
Tho men who airo now overflowing
with business arc the men whoso ad
vertisements wero kept running dur
ing the entire siege of the lato de
pression. Advertising is just a great
a necessity to an active business life
as food and drink arc to a healthy
physical existence. If you stop eat
ing you dio for the want of susten
ance; If you stop advertising your
business dies for the want of pub
licity. If our local grocers would let the
people know about tho prices of their
goods through printer's ink, as tho
, 1 1 .. .. n ti , 1 f i- ! ( ti trior-
chants do by flooding tho country
with price lists, catalogues, etc.,
there would not bo so many duped
farmers or complaining merchants.
Tho advertisers who put their goods
before the people nnd keep them
thorn are the ones who sell their
goods.
About all you hear from some peo
ple are criticisms. No matter how
great tho speaker, how famous the
orator or how earnest the worker,
they see nothing but blemishes, dls-
erepencies and Irregularities. They
behold no goodness or greatness In
anything but themselves. Good for
them, and the world, too, that the
Lord doesn't photograph the interior
of their carcass, and with the great
stereoscope of heaven flash It on can-
noo tn thi vnio of the nubile. We
are spared an awful sight.
There are some people you canrot
be with for half an hour but you feel
cheerful and comforted. Then there
are other people you ennnot be with
for five minutes before you feel mis
erable They do not mean to disturb
you, but they annoy you to the bone.
They gather up all the yarn which
the gossips spin, and poddle It out.
They gather up all tho adverse criti
cism about your person, about your
business, about your home, about
your church, and they make your ear
the funnel Into which they pour It.
They laugh heartily when they tell
you, as though It were a good joke,
and you laugh, too outside. If you
are pale in appearance they will say,
"How very bad you look a-a-h! not
long for this world." You greet
them with a hilarious "good morn
ing," and they come buzzing at you
with some depressing information.
It is astonishing how many people
In this world prefer to say disagree
able things and prefer to write dis
agreeable things.
OUIt TOWN'.
Patronize home where your inter
ests arc and help maintain and sup
port these Interests your Interests,
jour noighbor's Interests. Get that
selfishness out of your heart that is
envious of every success; that wants
to pull down overy , Interest that
seems to reach beyond yours, and Is
In reality an advantago to It and the
town. Neither imagine when a few
shekels accumulate In your wailet
you must necessarily go out of town
to spend It, thinking It would never
do to distribute a llttlo cash to your
home merchants, sinco you can stand
them off for six months or n year.
Mistaken Idea. They'll appreciate
tho cash and give you just as good
bargains as any merchant in neigh
boring town or city that may get your
rash. Encourago homo dealers and
manufacturers In everything, not
only by your patronage but by word3
of encouragement and commenda

town and mako business lively; and

Jnn. 3, 1010.
The beginning of tho now year
sees very few changes made on Capi
tol Hill. Probably tho most Import
ant Is the retirement of Hon. David
Martin as Insurance Commissioner,
to tnko tho ofllco of Register of Wills
of Philadelphia county. His succes
sor, who takes cliargo this week Is
Samuel W. McCulloch, who lias been
Deputy Commissioner for a long time
nnd Is thoroughly conversant with
the duties of tho office. In fact
there are few men in this stato bet
ter posted on the subject of Insur
ance than tho new Commissioner,
who hns been in tho Department for
many years, and has practically had
the management of It. Mr. McCul
loch Is believed Ho bo a Democrat.
The position is worth ?G,000 a year.
The National Guard of Pennsylva
nia has sustained some sevcro loses
recently, one being the death of Gen.
John A. Wiley, within a week. Last
Saturday Colonel Win. A. Kichard
son died at the Mcdlco-Clil Hospital
in Philadelphia, where ho had been
ill for a long time. The Colonel was
Superintendent of the Stnto Arsenal
In this city, where ho made his home
though ho was accredited to Schuyl
kill county, and was very active and
prominent in Nntlonal Guard work,
one of the most useful men in the
organization. His loss will be felt
particularly about tho Adjutant Gen
eral's Department and nt the annual
encanpmcnt.
When tho State's books of account
were balanced last Friday, It was
found that the amount In the gener
al fund, had fallen to ?4,7S7,214.29,
the lowest It has been for a long
time. It must bo remembered, how
ever, that tho sinking fund at the
present time carries in tho various
banks through the State' more than
enough to wipe out all the debt and
have a balance of ?9,000 over all.
That meanB that the stato practically
has no debt with a balance of well
toward Ave million dollars in its
treasury. Many of the outstanding
bonds are not due until 1912, while
others -have a longer time in which
to mature. Many of these may
never be presented for payment. At
tention has been drawn to the fact
that the balance in the general fund
seems to getting lower gradually,
and that the heroic veto measures
taken by the Governor last spring
have been fully justified. Pennsyl
vania's treasury has had a big sur
plus so long that with only five mil
lions on hand, the newspapers begin
to take notice.
Last week the Baldwin. Locomo
tive Works increased its capital stock
from ?10,000 to 120,000,000, and!
within a month the Pennsylvania
Railroad Company has Issued $12,
000,000 of new stock. Other smal
ler companies have made propor
tionate Increases, the trend of all
operations being to enlarge and
broaden, so as to catch the business
that is opening up for 1910. From
all indications this will bo one of the
best business years in tho history of
the country.
The advantages of incorporating
a business must have appealed with
some force to the Baldwin Locomo
tive Works. For many years a part
nership of that name has been carry
ing on a very large business In Phil
adelphia, winning wealth and fame,
until tho name becamo a household
word wherever an engine Is used.
uurmg luua tne corporation was
formed and took over tho business,
so that In the event of ono or more
of the former partners, now the
stockholders, tho business would
move right nlong, with no stop to
close up an estate. Glmbels, Lit
Brothers, John Wannmaker, Boggs
and Buhl and many more of tho big
businesses are incorporated for the
purpose of perpetuating tho business
and company when tho founders re
tire or die.
This year will witness tho election
of a Governor to succeed tho present
popular Executive. Several booms
are under way and candidates are
listening with both ears to tho
ground, for a call to head tho ticket.
Prominent among those mentioned on
the Republican sldo nro Senator
Sproul, of Delaware; LIcuteunnt Gov
ernor Murphy, of Cambria; Mayor
Magee, of Pittsburg; Senator Crow,
of Fayette; Congressman Olmsted, of
Dauphin and others less prominent.
Any ono of those named would ans
wer tho purpose, though tho final
choice may leave them all out. Mr.
Olmsted Is looming up as a com
promise Spcakor of the National
House, and would mako an ideal of
ficer, having tho necessary knowl
edgo of parliamentary rules and prac
tice, with a mind trained to seo and
decide quickly on difficult questions,
and having the dignity, judicial fair
ness and firmness, and presonco, to
rulo that august body.
Congressman Palmer, of Strouds
burg, looks llko tho winner of tho
nomination for Governor on tho
Democratic ticket. Ho is a fine
young man, with a clean record and
personally very popular.

THE MEAT WE EAT.
Among tho peoples ot tho earth,
except thoso of Australasia, tho In
habitants of tho United States nro tho
most liberal meat caters. Investiga
tions havo disclosed tho fact that tho
per capita consumption of meat In
this country, in terms of "dressed"
meat, was 185.8 pounds In 1900.
If tho edible parts outsldo of thnt writing nt onto to tho supervisor
description aro Included, such as) named In tho list appended whoso
henrt liver, tongue and so on, tho district embraces tho place of resl
coiisumptlon was 220.5 pounds. If I donco of the applicant,
all this Is reduced to strictly edlbloj
meat by exclusion of bones and other
nonedlble parts, tho per capita meat
consumption of men, women, chil
dren, nnd bnbics was 182.6 pounds In
1900.
Tho meat consumption of other
countries is usually stated in terms
of "dressed" moat, but may Include
some extraneous pnrts. As compared
with 185. 8 pounds ot dressed weight On tho nverago rate and discounts
of meat, standing as the per capita of tho ordinary consumer, says Jlar
consumptlon of the United States, j pcr's Weekly, a cent's worth of elec
Cuba follows next In order with 124 i tricltv will onorato a twelve-Inch fan
pounds; the United Kingdom 121.3
pounds; Gcrninny 115.91 pounds;
Franco 78.9 pounds; Denmark 7C
pounds; Belgium 70 pounds; Sweden
C2 pounds. Tho nverago for Austra
lia is apparently 202.0 pounds, and
for New Zealand 212.5.
The average meat consumption of
tho United States has long been de
clining. Primarily, tho BUpply of
meat In relation to population has de
clined since tho llrst live-stock cen
sus in 1810. For cattle In that
year, excluding calves, Chore was an
average of 0.88 of an animal of
farms to each Inhabitant, of 0.81 of
an nnlmal In 18C0, of 0.79 of an
animal in 18S0, of 0.92 of an animal
In 1890, and of 6. CO of an animal in
1900.
Tho comparison ot sheep, exclua
lng lnmbs, with population shows
that there wero 1.13 animals on the
farms in 1840 to each inhabitant,
0.71 of an animal In 1SG0, 0.84 of an
animal in 1880, 0.G5 of an animal in
1890, and 0.52 of an animal In 1900,
Range sheep are supposed to bo in
eluded.
Tho decline for swine is about as
great as that for sheep, and has been
uninterrupted. The ratio of swine on
farms to population in 1840 was 1.54
animals; In 1800 It was 1.07 animals;
In 1890 It wns 0.92 of an animal; and
In 1900 it was 0.83 of an animal.

'ENUMERATORS' TEST" EASY.
Applications Must bo Filed With Su
pervisors Before Jan.
Washington, D. C, Dec. 29. By
January 25th all applications for the
positions of enumerators in the Thlr
teenth Decennial United States Cen
sus must be filed with the supervisors
or census for the supervisors' dis
tricts in which the applicants reside.
Between that dato and February 5th
tho supervisors will send out cards to
applicants informing them where
thoy are to report for the "test" to be
held In every ono of tho 330 super
visors districts on February 5th onlv.
census Director Durand emphati
cally states that persons desiring to
hold such positions should not stand
in fear of the "test" to be mado. Any
persou of average public-school edu
cation who can write plainly and
reasonably fast will go through tho
"test" with "colors flying." In fact,
the "test" is intended simply to help
tho supervisors pick suitable persons
anu to enable tho Director of the
Census to exorcise intelligently his
power of approval of those whom the
supervisors designate for appoint
ment. It will involve the Ailing in of eith
er a sample population schedule, by
those who will make the count in the
cities, or of hoth a sample population
and agricultural schedule, by candi
dates who will enumerato tho coun
try. To prepare the way and to insure
overy applicant being given a fair
chance, tho supervisors will send in
advance to each and every candidate
a set of printed instructions for Ail
ing In these sample schedules.
"We consider that a very import
ant point," said Acting Census Direc
tor Willoughby to-day, "not only in
treating theso candidates fairly and
giving them a chance to answer tho
questions properly, but also as a
means of education of tho candidates
who aro afterwards to bo appointed.
"Thoy will study moro thoroughly
tho Instructions for filling In thoso
schedules If they realize their chances
of appointment depend upon v thnt
study than If thoy wero appointed
first and had to do tho studying aftor
wards. You will seo, therefore, that
this test Is not an appalling thing.
It is not for tho purposo of keeping
pcoplo out of tho places. It Is ap
plied simply to cnnblo tho Director
to eliminate thoso who are plainly in
competent. Any person of good Judg
ment and ordinary common-school
education for tho work requires
somo llttlo thinking power can eas
ily pass tho test."
Between February 5 and February
22 tho supervisors will go through
tho "test" papers, satisfy themselves
as tho qualifications of thoso who
havo passed, and mako tliolr designa
tions or recommendations to tho Cen
sus Director. Tho next stop will bo
tho Director's approval, and then tho
suporvlsora will issue tho commis
sions to tho enumerators. ,
Director Durtind exnects to have
tho army of 67,000 or moro enumer
ators picked, tested, designated, and
commissioned by tho middle or lat
ter part of March. From then on un
til April 15th tho supervisors will
sond tho enumerators circulars and
books of instructions concerning tho
meaning of tho schedule questions
and tho way tho enumerators should
write In tho answers obtained from
the peoplo ot the country.
I cial agents mny bo assigned to cortnln
(supervisors' districts for tho purposo
of meeting tho enumerators person
ally nnd giving them ndditlonnl In
formation concerning tho character
of their duties.
Application forms, with complcto
directions concerning tho method of
I preparing them, can bo secured by

GOOD ROADS.
This Should be tho Paramount Issue
With tho Farmers From Now On.
The knell of macadam roads in this
part of tho country seems to have
been sounded. New Jersey has turn
ed them down and that means much.
The Wellsboro Agitator said last
week: "In Tioga county and in the
neighboring counties there has been
a general popular condemnation of
this style of road when the cost of
construction and maintenance is con
sidered. In this county during tho
past summer tho plain dirt roads well
moulded with the simple King road
drag at slight cost have been In bet
ter condition for travel with any con
veyance than tho expensive macadam.
This is a statement no local traveler
will dispute." Bradford county Is
trying to macadam road and now has
between 20 nnd 25 miles of It, and It
remains to bo seen whether applica
tion will bo mado for stato aid to
build more.
Tho main features of the Jones
dirt road, which will soon go Into ef
fect In this state, aro these: It will
abolish the work tax system, and pro
vides that all road taxes shall bo col
lected In cash. All townships will
receive from the state a bonus of 50
per cent., or one-hnlf as much money
ns has been collected from tho tax
payers; provided, however, that this
bonus shall not exceed $20 per mllo
of road in any ono township.

The old outlit is being superseded by

AN ENGLISH JOKE.
Darby, Pa., Jan. 4. Dolayed by tho
great Inrush of forolgn mnlls, a
Christmas parcol from England ar
rived at tho Darby Postofllco to-day,
carrying a custom's declaration which
snld the package contained, "ono
pudding, ono cako, thrco mlnco pies,
four gent's ties, two handkerchiefs
nnd one child's pajamas; all of which
havo been used."
The last clause of the sentence
made tho articles frco of duty. Just
how tho cake, mince pies and tho
pudding could bo second-hnnded and
used before, caused Postmaster Ma
guaro to smile, nnd tho articles wero
turned over to the addressee who
said that they might havo been used
before In Merrlc Englnnd, but that
thoy would never bo used agnln In
America after he was done with them.
HE 'DID THE PROPER THING.
If Governor Hadn't Cut Appropria
tions Wo Would be Scraping the
Bottom of Boy Now.
Tho flgures announced at tho
stato's treasury showing the balance
In the general fund of the common
wealth to bo $4,787,214.20 aro con
sidered on Capitol Hill to bo a com
plete Justification of Governor
Stuart's course In making a cut of al
most twenty million dollars In tho
appropriations as made by the last
legislature. At the time the gover
nor was very severely criticised and
It was pointed out that the state
would have a balance of anywhere
from $7,000,000 to $9,000,000 In ad
dition to tho revenue of about $50,
000,000. Tho governor thought
otherwise and events havo abundant
ly Justified his stand.
The state's balance Is lower now
than it has been any time sinco 1904
and fears are now expressed that It
may go still lower unless tho auditor
general's department can get in rev
enue at a faster rate than In the last
six weeks. Within six months the
state will have to meet the seven and
a half millions of school appropria
tion, to say nothing of carrying on
the very expensive state government
al machinery, and as the revenue for
1909 was swollen through activity of
Auditor General Young In collecting
delinquent corporation taxes, the
treasury may find tho funds lower
than for a decade.
Had the governor approved the
$70,000,000 of appropriations put up
to him by tho legislature the state
would havo been scraping the bottom
of its strong box by this time nnd the
schools and hospitals would have
been facing a return to the old days
when appropriations were not paid as
promptly as they have been in the
last few years.
At the opening of the- last legisla
tive session the governor sent to the
legislature tho most complete and
detailed statement of tho stato's fi
nances ever compiled for tho general
assembly. It showed what had been
the Income in tho two previous years
and gave estimates of what might
bo expected. It was one of the gov
ernor's typical business statements,
but In spite of It the legislature failed
to hold its bills within the limit and
tho governor was forced to tho task.
How manfully he met It every one
knows, as his own highway bill was
among the first to fall.
