II there were no family "jars," no disobedient and ungrateful" eons and daughters, no human venoms to slander and backbite, no church quarrels, no drunken husbands and fathers, no labor troubles, and everything: in townships, boroughs.cltles.counties.stateandmation runcalong smoothly, without contention and strife, the mlllenium would be ush ered in immediately. But alack, alack! Things are not thusly. Family quarrels occur, people do not hesitate to be smirch the fair name of their neighbors by slanderous and false insinuations, husbands get drunk and fall to provide for wife and children, the township, borough, county, state, and national officlali. fail to please all the people all the time, and the officials in turn fre quently get their sweet dispositions ruffled by the actions of their consti tuents, &c, &c, and there Is so much contention, dissatisfaction and compe tition In the world that occasionally persons try to escape it all by the suicidal route, and "jump out of the frying pan into the fire." One great cauBe for air this unrest, unhapplness, strife and contention is selfishness, pure unadulterated selfishness. If every body would take the golden rule as their motto and live it, we would hear less complaints and there would be more happiness in this fair land of ours. But selfishness predominates in so many lives that occasionally even people with happy and sunny disposition will, for a short time, be effected by this great evil. We are not a pessimist and do not take the pessimistic view of life, nevertheless there are many lives blighted and much unhapplness in the world that Is the result of selfishness on the part of somebody. The New Naturalization Law. Under the provision" rf the naturali zation law pns-ed at the recent session of Congress no alien can be admitted to citizenship who cannot speak the English language, unless he be a home steader. The law further provides that "no person who disbelieves in or who is opposed to organized government, or who is a member of or affiliated with ny organization entertaining and teaching such disbelief in or opposition to organized government, or who advo cates or teaches the duty, necessity, or propriety of tho unlawful assaulting or killing of any ofllu r or officers, either of specific individuals or of officers generally, of the Government of the United States, or of any other organized government, because of his or their official character, or who is a polyga mist, shall be naturalized or be made a citizen of the United States." A person who knowingly procures naturalization in violation of the pro visions of the act or "any person who knowingly aids, advises or encourages any person not entitled thereto to ap piy for or to secure naturalization, or to file the preliminary papers declaring an intent to become a citizen of the United States, or who in any naturalization proceeding knowingly procures or gives false testimony as to any meterial fact required to be proved in such proceed ing, shall be fined not more than five thousand dollars, or imprisoned not more than five years, or both." Harvest Home Picnic and Carnival. It bag been decided by the Nolan Park Association, with headquarters at Clarion, Pa., to hold a Grand Harvest Home Picnic and Carnival at Nolan Park on the P., S. & C. R. R., on August 15, 16, 17 and 18, 1908, and the present prospects are that the affair will be a great success. The manage ment are arranging for daily balloon ascensions, trained animal show, minia ture railway, and other first class at tractions, and base ball games between Brookville, Clarion and other first class teams have also been arranged. Luna Park and Dream City Park, at Pitta burg, Pa., have arranged to furnish special attractions for this event, and no expense is going to be spared to make it a decided success. Excursion rates and trains are going to be ar ranged on the P. R. R. and P. S. & C. railroad, and the management are ex pecting a daily attendance of from ten to fifteen thousand people. This is the only park or this kind in the immediate vioinlty, and this picnic and carnival affords not only the people in the towns, but also the farming community as well, a fine opportunity for an outing at the close of the harvest season. A very interesting series of lectures during the week of July 29 to August 3 at Chautauqua, New York, will be pre sented by Mr. John Graham Brooks, the president of the National Consumers' League and widely known as a student of American sociology and history. The course is entitled "Politics and Progress," and is a progressive study In American institutions as they have been affected by criticism from France, England and Gortuany. Mr. Brooks violates his practice of protecting his summers by coming to Chautauqua for this single series. Suit cases and traveling bags at Mil-Urens Will Pay lh Benefits.

Compulsory Vaccination. In order to give time for vaccination before the opening of the next term of school, Dr. W. W. Matson, Inspector State Board of Health for Jefferson county, requests that we remind the parents in the county of the law that makes it necessary for children to be vaccinated before they can lawfully be admitted to the public schools'. Some people are of the opinion that vaccination is of no consequence, but the influence of vaccination and re vaccination is shown from the following figures taken from a study of the statistics of an epidemic occurring in Sheffield, England : Rates of attack per 1000 persons: Persons not vaccinated 94 ; persons once vaccinated 19 ; persons twice vaccinated 3. Death rates per 1000 persons : Per sons not vaccinated 67 ; persons once vaccinated 1 ; persons twice vaccinated 0.08. Church Notice.

Important Interpretation. According to State Superintendent Shaffer's Interpretation of the school law, any township that does not have a high school must pay the tuition of scholars who have parsed the district school and wish to enter a high school, even if the high school U in another county. If a township has a high school It does not have to pay tuition for scholars who wish to go to other schools, even though such schools offer a more advanced curriculum which the student wishes to take advantage of.
