Wben the robin sin and build lliolr

are reminded that It la spring time,

Tbere are people In Ueymildsvllle
who are still being iiilltwnond by what
Is known as the Bishop Lawrence end
less chain letter writing, nntwith
standing the fact that It Una borni ex
posed by the press in general. A
Roynoltisvl.le minister In speaking of It
last week said, "That abominable end
lens chain letter." Some people are
superstltous enough to think that some
dire calamity will belall them, uh stated
in the lo'ter, If they do not write a cur
tain number of theBe bittern for nine
days and mall them to other people.
Christian people, at least, should no
be Inllueneed hy such iodIIhIiiichs.
you receive one of these haters throw
it Into waste basket or fire and do your
part to break the chain as .noon as
prsslble.
A Chicago grocery house sent ou
a number of circulars to citizens of this
town In which they made a liboral offer
for thomselves. They are really
willing to allow any person la Reynolds
villa to sell ten books, which the gro
eery house will furnish, attl.fiu apiece.
making a total of 115.00 for the ten
books, and the person who sells the
books, If they can, are to Bend the
fS.OO to the Chicago firm and they will
ship 110. (K) worth of groceries free to
the one who sold the books. JuBt
think of their liberality? Only have to
ell ten books, that might possibly have
cost the firm 60 cents apiece, or $5.00
i for the ten, and they will give you
ilO.OO worth of groceries. .1 n't It stir
, prising how generous some of the city
! business men are gritting to ho.-' Then
bow about the groceries when you do
u get them?
Are all the enterprising citizens of
Reynoldsville content with our present
industrial and business affairs In general,
or do you think we should hear a little
louder hum of Industry In this commun
, ity? With cheap fuel, good water, fine
sites, good railroad facilities and
, natural advantages In general we think
that if a strong effort Is made in the
right direction that before autumn time
of 1907 one or two large Industries could
be added to the number already giving
employment to the men of our town
There 1b one thing sure, if we sit down
and fold our bands and do not make an
effort the number of factories will not
be Increased in Reynoldsville. In this
day of activity in building up towns
and communities we must get up and
, hustle or we will not be in it. What
shall we do? Be content with what we
. have or go after more industries? The In
I dustrlal welfare of a community should
be in the hands of a live board of trade
, or some other organization of business
.. men. Where are we at? " I
Under the present law this super
visors of a township have to do their
work without pay, whloh la not Just.
If it Is necessary to have supervisors,
and the law provides for three in each
township, then they should receive pay
- for the work they do. Why should
men give their time and attention to
this work without getting remunera
tion? Again, we say, It Is not right,
, A bill ban been Introduced in toe legis
lature which provides that supervisors
be paid fifty cents a year for each mile
under their supervision. The average
mileage In each township in the state is
bout 65 miles, which would amount to
132.50 to be divided among three super
visors. That Is not enough. A sup
ervisor should have not less than 12.00
a day for every day's service given to
township. The law is new yet and
competent men have been willing to
do the work for nothing, but it will
finally result In the office going begging
for men to do the work without compensation.
There are five special days to be ob
served eaoh year, Christmas, Easter,
Decoration Day, Fourth of July and
Thanksgiving Day, which are not,
generally speakiug, observed as tbey
. should be. A large number of people
think only of Christmas as a day for
giving and receiving presents, and for
having a general good time, forgetting
that it is the birthday of Jesus. East-
er, apparently, receives no higher
thought by many people than a time
for eating eggs and wearing new and fine
toggery. Decoration day has become
-a day for ball games, dances, &o.,
and the old soldier is forgotten by a
- ' large number of people. July Fourth
is a day for general sports, drunkenness
and revelry, and patriotism is not given
much consideration. Thanksgiving
, Day, after the barns and store bouses
- have been filled from a bountiful harv-
, est, only a few of the teeming millions
' take time to give thanks to the Lord
. for the harvests. A big dinner is
about all that Thanksgiving Day means
to many people. Thus these special
days are not observed as intended or as
they should be. j

Buying an organ la different from buylag
anything else.
It's a purchase that lasu a life time, so why
not get the BES organ, even If you have to
pay a little more you're sure that you'll
never be disappointed, and the difference In
price wben spread over a period of twenty
five years Isn't going to affect you very ser
iously. No use getting a flashy-looking,
cheap organ, with Ita Imperfections covered
up, because you are pretty certain of getting
an organ that Is going to cause you trouble
and annoyance aa long as It Is in your home.
You can't appreciate how good a CABPEN-
