FRIDAY, SKIT. 22, 1011.
THE PRIMARY ELECTION.
The greatest good to come from the new election system, says The
Wellsboro Agitator, Is the divorcing of state and national Issues from local
politics. Municipal government, whether It be county, borough or town
ship affairs, is strictly a business proposition, and the great questions
which divide the national political parties have no bearing on the choice
of local ofllcers.
In this county a large number of Republicans are asking for recom
mendation from the people. Whomsoever the voters name will become
the party' candidates and will be elected to the several offices In Novem
ber. There is the great satisfaction that this is wholly a clean contest;
there are no boodle arguments. There can be no excessive use of money
under the law; besides none of the candidates have got any money to
waste, for they are all men of very moderate circumstances.
As to county affairs, it Is a free-for-all race among the candidates.
If the people do not fairly consider them and finally select those who will
give us the best government, it will be their own fault. Tho character
and ability of the candidates are the main points for the voters to consider
a week from next Saturday.
In the family affairs of the boroughs and townships, the people ought
to know whom they want to serve them, and do it with economy and fair
ness. If the voters do not attend to their own home government as citi
zens they brand themselves as unfit to have a voice in the higher affairs
of the county, state and nation.
MUNICIPAL DANCE HALL.
Mrs. John Q. Mason, one of the
leading suffragets in the West, is
urging that Tacoma establish a
municipal dance hall for boys and
girls. It looks as If she miglit carry
her idea into effect. The voting
strength of the women In the Wash
ington city is so great that the pol
iticians must listen, and the mayor
and various. civic organizations have
promised to-do all possible to carry
out their suggestions. Tacoma has
a big stadium whero public band
concerts are now held and Mrs. Ma
son advocates the construction of
a dancing floor in this so that the
concerts and danees may be combin
ed. She and her followers claim
that such dances would do muck to
solve' the problem as to what youth
may do in Its leisure hours.

STATE COLLEGE.
Special to The Citizen.
STATE COLLEGE, Pa., Sept. 21.
The Pennsylvania State College
began work for the 1911-12
term on Sept. 20. The Friday and
Saturday preceding, the examinations
for entrance were offered and all who
were able to pass the required stand
ard are allowed to enter. The 18th
and 19 th are registration days and
Immediately after that the college
life will be In full swing. Between
five and six hundred "freshmen" are
expected for enrollment in the four
years' courses. Two hundred and
twenty-five 2-year men In the agrl
cultural courses have been heard
from as expecting to enroll In com
parlson to last year's numbor of on
rolled men of which there wero 90.
The weather for the past week has
been rather rainy and wet. A sharp
air accompanied by white frost on
Wednesday night did very little. If
any, damage to small fruits and veg
etation.
A good yield of corn is the outlook
here but the potato crop Is reported
Very light. At the present price of
$1.60 per bushel they will be little
short of luxuries by spring as the
sourco grows weaker and the price
correspondingly stronger.
The annual picnic of the Grangers,
held at Centro Hall, was largely at
tended by the people of State Col
lego and neighboring towns. Excur
sion trains were run on tho Pennsyl
vania lino from Lemont to Centre
Hall and the low rate charged for the
round trip made it possible for a
great many more to attend.
As doubtless some of the Wayne
county grangers remember, Centre'
Hall is the homo of Leonard Rhone,
who was formerly connected with the
State Grange at Harrlsburg.
Quite a display, of improved farm,
machinery and both steam and gasd-.'
line engines for farm power together
with the exhibits of fruit, vegetables
and miscellaneous articles of farm
produce Including the pastry line,
made It an Interesting sight and well
worth seeing.
The anxiety over a water famine
which seemed sure, has been practi-l
cally dispelled by, the recent heavy '
rains and all danger of scarcity of
water is thought to bo past. '
Eggs at the present time are bring-'
ing 24 cents a dozen and the best
butter from the State College cream-J
ery 33c a pound. i
The price paid per pound for but
ter fat for the month of August was
31 cents for hand separator cream,
and 34 cents on whole milk. The
extra bonus of 3 cents a pound Is
offered as a special Inducement to
bring whole milk as the cream sep
arated from it Is used for shipping
purposes and also makes better but
ter than the cream from hand sep
arators which Is frequently not kept
under the right conditions.

DEAFNESS CANNOT BE CURED
by local applications, as they can
not reach the diseased portion of the
ear. There is only one way to cure
deafness, and that Is by constitu
tional remedies. Deafness is caus
ed by an Inflamed condition of the
mucous lining of the Eustachian
Tube. When this tube is inflamed
you have a rumbling sound or im
perfect hearing, and when it Is en
tirely closed, Deafness Is the result,
and unless the Inflammation can be
taken out and this .tube restored to
Its normal condition, hearing will
be destroyed forever; nine cases out
of ten are caused by Catarrh, which
is nothing but an Inflamed condition
of the mucous surfaces.
Wo will give One Hundred Dol
lars for any case of Deafness (caus
ed by catarrh) that cannot be cured
