C. A.ATEPHENSON, Editor and Pub.
WEDNESDAY. MARCH 6, 1907.
Petitions signed by a large Dumber of
voters have been sent to the state
legislature requeuing that honorable
body to pass a State Local Option law
permitting the electors of any county,
city or ward of a city, borough or town
ship In this Commonwealth to de
termine by an electon the question of
the granting of licences for the sale of
Intoxicating liquors.
A bill has been Introduced In the
state legislature fixing the salaries of
common school teachers tn districts
receiving state appropriation, at not
less than fifty dollars per month, in all
cases where the teacher holds a pro
fessional, permanent, or normal school
certificate and has bad two years' ex
perience and obtained a certificate of
proficiency In practice from the
superintendent id charge of said
teacher.
it has been said that man wasted
flowers are strewn over graves, of
which one bud, pink with life and hope
and fragrant with sympathy, would
have eased the pain of some aching
heart for even a little while, bad they
keen bestowed while the loved one
lived. Don't save all your flower's and
kind words until after death has
removed the loved onej It Is really
remarkable how the faithfulness and
good works of some people is appreciat
ed, after there eyes are closed in death.
Dr. Hunter Corbett, a missionary in
China over forty years, who has been
visiting his kindred in this section for
some months, left Wooster, Ohio, Mon
day to return to his work in China. He
expects to remain In China this time
until the Lord calls htm to the heaven
ly land. Dr. Corbett lectured in the
Reynoldsvllle Presbyterian church
i during this visit to th" hums land. He
has traveled around the world three
times and has crossed the Pacific ocean
seven times, his return to China mak
: lng the eighth time to cross the ocean.
The effect of health upon scholar-
ship, upon the mental strength and de
velopment of a pupil and, consequently,
upon the future ability and Btandlng of
the man or woman is, perhaps, too
little appreciated by some parents.
Through the adenoid growths in the
throat a child may become hard of
hearing and, 'bus hot understanding all
said by the teacher, become backward.
A child with eyes uncared for will
become subject to headache and ir
ritability. Interest will wane and the
child become known as a dull pupil. It
is claimed that even the kind of break
fast or the overloading of the stomach
at the noonday meal will unfit the pupil
for the day's work. More dull, back
ward, unsuccessful pupils are the result
of physical causes than mental causes.
Some of our oltiaens are under the
impression that it will be several years
before the state will aid In paving Main
street, from Seventh street to borough
line, and our contemporary in an article
on this subject, stated last week that "it
would be one or two years before the
state will appropriate any money at all,
but as the taxpayers have voted 110,000
to pay for the boroughs share of the pav
ing bill we will be In line for the ap
propriation when it comes. We have
gone up to this time without the pave
ment and, surely, we can wait one or
years,;' The work has been surveyed
by the state engineer, State Highway
. Department has ordered the work to be
done and the state money Is now avail
able, then why should the work be de
'layed a year or two? The Stab ex
pects the work will be done this year
of Our Lord 1907, and we base our ex
pectations on reliable Information.
While It may be surprising yet it is a
fact that parents of school pupils are
wholly unable to protect the health of
children. No matter how careful some
parent may be, their care goes for
naught through the indifference of
others. In no instance is the Golden
Rule so little observed as in cases when
parents will send children to school
who have an illness that threatens the
welfare of nearly 800 others. The
epedemio of whooping cough among
the boys and girls of town is the result
of the disregard of others' welfare by a
-few parents in sending children to
school possessed of this oontageous dis
ease. The law, we understand, will not
force out of school children with such
afflictions as whooping cough or itch,
but justice and humanity demands that
parent take cognizance of others' wel
fare and keep such unfortunates at
home until well again. A number of
children are sent to school who have
' fevers or ohills, ' which forbode any one
f several illnesses which are inimical
to the health of other pupils oi the
achaols. At present there is much
agitation in larger schools than ours for
health inspection of pupils. Our
borough has, perhaps, too meagre
school funds for such an outlay, but it is
" the important duty of every parent of a
school boy or girl to realize the far
reaching results of one sick pupil in the
chooU. x .
THE PEOPLES NATIONAL BANK.
Now Located in Its New and Imposing
Building A Very Pretty Bank.
The Peoples National Bank is now

room is the ladles' room In which is a
desk, chair and upholstered seats. This
room is separated from lobby by two
fair sized columns, panel work and
