Van Kttcn, Publisher, Mllford, Pike County, Po. for a couxrr fair The suggestion lias been made fiat there should be county fair bold this fall ou the grouuds of the Driving Park. While agricultural fairs have degenerated somewhat nnd in many places there has been a luck of interest shown by farmers, yet they can be made excellent edu cators and of benent to the com munity. If farmers would consult the advantages to be dorived from a healthy rivalry in their business the knowledge to be gained by general interchange of opinions and comparison of methods of work treatment of soils and the ways and nieansadopted by others to attain success in the raising of products they would find those fairs of great prao tical aid. Competition in farming as in all other professions, is so keen that the successful farmer must study closely the most eco nomical means of attaining the best results. He must be wide awake nnd progressive, he must be inielli gent and thoughtful. He cannot farm as did his ancestors. He must adopt present methods and avail himself of all the modern appli ancog or be left in the race for the goal of even moderate suooess Formerly farmers iu this section depended largely on raising grain as a moans a support, now they buy largely, What branch of farming can they pursue here to the best advantuge to replace the raising of cereals in which they have been supplanted by the western farmer? Would systematic dniring pay? Would the production of fruits be greatly renumeratlver These are questions which farmers might discuss. Why should thoy not act in concert for the mutual profit and advantage. Farmers complain of ' trusts, bat trusts are only aggrega tions of shrewd business men for their own gain. Let farmers adopt the same plan and combine for their mutual gain. Really they hold the balance of power and the key to the situation if they would unite and net in concert. We wish it were possible to arouse in the farmers in this section a spirit of emulation and create within them a determination to alopt bet ter methods and unite in furthering their own interest. Bupporao we huve a fair this full and have one good address by some practical farmer and see if it will not stimu late our farmers to renewed and determined effort. The Prkaj will be pleased to hear from any inter ested and it hopes many will be. The borough council has passed an ordinance prohibiting firing of guns aud other firs arms, shooting fire crackers and other explosives in town or disturbing the peace and good orier by ringing bolls aud otherwise.

It Is a strong arraignment of the law and nn excellent epitome of the governors menial characteristics. Mr. Pmttn says of liitu "Unhappily, with li is other good and liad quali ties lie has no more sense, of humor than a clam." iteannlinff that amazing explanation lie says, "In the face of the most earnest protests the governor siRtied the hill and filed with It an explanatory message which, it is safe to say, is the most remarkable paper that ever etnennt ed from an executive. In its blend ing of honest resentment, of per sonal venom, of misleading half truths, of unaccountable misstate ment, of fantastio reasoning and of unoonscious buffoonery, it is unpnr- alleled among oflloial documents." An effort is being made by the firemen to raise money for a fourth of July celebration. We favor one of the old fashioned kind a good address by some well known speak er reading the declaration of inde pendence and patriotic pongs and anthems by the church choirs Such a celebration would be in keep ing with the day.

Our venerable townsman, H. B Wells, was seized with an attack of bloeding at the nose last Saturday night which was checked with difficulty and left him in a very enwobled oouditiou.

If there are any nnbnptisod child ren in our congregation we hope they may bo presented by their parents at this time. For tho bene fit of nny that, tuny not be informed we would state that only tho child ren of parents, one or both of whom are members of the church, can be baptized. It is n part of both your church and parental duty to sea to it that this ordinance is not unduly postponed or neglected. Last Sunday we had the great pleasure and satisfaction of wel coming among us one of our most promising young women, Miss Mary Mettler. For a long time we have been Imping for this pleasure and now that it is ours, may we extend our christian sympathy and hopeful ness in every way that this young lady may feel that it, has been a good thing to have cast in her lot among God's people. We regret that Mrs. Mettler's letter was do laynd so that shecould not join with her daughter, but she will bo re ceived ns soon as her letter is pre Rented. , Last Monday evening an Informal musical was held in the parlors of the auspices of the Young Peoplo's Society of Christian Endeavor. We are pleased to hear the good words that have been spoken regarding the program. We also wish to ex press our gratituda to Mr. Nilis for his kindness in loaning us his piano and also to those who took part so acceptably to oil present. We are grateful to one and all who helped to make the evening a success. The offering amounted to fifteen dollars and seventy cents. This Friday evening there will be he'd tho final practice for children Day. It is very important that all the members of tho Sunday school and those who are to take part should be present. That our efforts to reach the visitors in Mllford may be more successful than in formor years, tho pastors of tho three churches have adopted a suggestion made by Rev K. J. Perot whereby a circular lette containing the cards of our respeo tive churches will be placed in the hands of each new comer. This letter pleads for Sabbath observance nnd invites the strangers to our services. We hope for the coopera tion of the Christian people of Mil rora lu our enort to reach summer visitors No word has appeared in this column of la to respecting the flowers that have been placea on the pulpit platform from Sunday to Sunday The ff;ithfulness and the taste that has been shown, however, deserves commendation and praise. This work is donequietly and unohsorv like much of the best services that are rendered the Master in this world. To those who know these flower committees there is no lock of appreciation and we are sure that those who ore observing among the worehippers have often felt their gratitude if they hove not expressed it. The committees of ladies also that dust and keep our church in such splendid order deserve thoir shareof our praise in thisconnectiou The president's return to Washing ton was a great ovation which must have made his home-coming one of the very pleasant, events oi his entire pilgrimage. The dense crowd Pennsylvania Avenue must have reminded him ot that time, over three years ago, when in company with William McKinley he rode over the name route. A feature of President Roosevelt's tour has been the non-partisan spirit displayed at his reception at every point, democrats vying with republi cans to extend to him the heartiest welcome. During the 65 days that he spent on the road, the president made L'tiS speeches, and had it not been for Secretary Loeb's firmness tie would have made a hundred addi tional ones Mr. Cleveland's suggestion that the influence of the press is decreasing is hardly borne out in fact by the way the Cleveland boom has subsided since the editorial opinion of the country bvgan to puncture holes in it.

Alden of Nebraska, himself a live stock grower, In which he states that for the past ten years systematic and extensive stealing of the public, lands of the west has been in progress until now the majority of the lauds which are being acquired from the govern ment are obtained through gross fraud and perjury. He estimates that last year, of the twenty million (20,000,000) acres oi public land which passed into private ownership, three fourths of it or 15 million acres was acquired by fraud and false swearing. Under the present land laws, hinds to be acquired from the government must be reclaimed to irrigation or improved and cultivated. This, how ever, is not being done. The hinds are taken up hy land dealers and lurgo stock outfits nml held for specu lation or for grassing purposes. The only remedy he sees .in sight is the repeal of the desert hind law and the commutation provision of the home stead law ns advocated by the presi dent in his last message nnd this he believes to be the immediate duty of the political party in power. The greatest ocean depth ever discovered was sounded only a short time ago, during tho recent cruise of the Albatross in the Pacific. Professor Agassiz was in churge of the expedition, and near the island ofUuum. There the beam trawl, attached to a steel cable, "was low- I ercd to the depth of 28,878 feet, five ! miles, almost as hinh as Mount Everest. Hy means of therioome- J lers attached to tho tr.iwl it was ' found that the water at this depth I bore tho temperature of only 35 1 degrees, just a littlo atjuve trceiin;; point.
