The controversy will be long and fatiguing and probably will make some people so tired they will be tempted to go up there and see if they can find any tracks We are willing to believe both explorers, and when thry get down to scientific data if thannrrntion ig not ton long, read In part what they say.

The dry weather this year has driven an unusual nuuibes of snakes from their haunts to the lowlands and many have been killed, found In un expected places.

Sheats akireosed the State Bankers Asaoooi allon at RedTord Sprints Wednesday taking for his topic taxation He said in part the custom is paretic ly universal in the civilised world, and one of the oldest peaceable forma by the government secures the means to carry on business. Indirect taxation ia the most agreeable form In which to levy and collect revenue, and the adjustment of the rxceat tarifl law was contradictory because It wns hoped there would be downward re vision when In faot of 802 articles considered, 285 were Increased or kept the same as it Ihe Dingley act and 25 dutiable articles were reduced. If, however, business actively Is in evidence, aided by farm product eg ti mated at eight billion dollars the people may overlook their diaappoint ment and forget that the tariff bill is not quite in accord with the pro tensions of the dominant party. The tax or Inoomes began In Ath ena. 683 it U and several nations now derive their greatest revenue from this source, notably the English and French. If our progressive poll tics, such as bmiding the Panama Canal, a construction oi a national Irrigation system and Inland water ways, and upbuilding the Navy are to be centineud this form of taxation was wiselly subu.itted to the several states for action. In this state i taxation to product revenue to carry on the public busi ness seems satisfactory. Seven and a half million dollars are yearly paid to school districts, a million to vari ous institutions, liberal asslstanoa Is given . to hospitals and highways, and large sums are expended for other purposes. So prosperous how evor are the atate'a revenues that last Tuesday the accumulated interest added to the amount of money in the Sinking Fund equaled the entire state indebtedneg, and to days were I possible to seenre all outstanding bonds, Pennsylvania would be free from debt j Corporations pay a little more than half the revenue received by tbe state, but if a tax were levied on their greats receipts it would te more 1 equltaMe and would rednoa taxes paid by domestlo corporations and increase that paid by those operating under fereign laws. In-urance and Banking corporations should be in separate r lasses and the four mill tax on time deposit oertfflcates repeaiet and the four mill tax on real estate mortages should be eliminated as it means an additional burden to the borrower. Attention should be given to the depletion of the forests and the state instead of owning one should own five million acres, perferably in lo calities having water sheds and pow er at reams. Tho state has received no permanent benefit from oil while for SO years it haa been the greatest producing section In the world. Coal should not be depleted without some permanent compensation to the people of the state. A tonnage tax should be levied Tbe average coal consumption per family of mod erat means is hut four tons ayearand ot the 64 and a hal) million tons sold in 1908 all but 19 million tons could bear a tax so placed as to produce ten million dollars annually. Domestic consumer would pay not more than ono fourths of this, and of tbe other three fourth paid by outsiders balf could be used la building good roads. To summarize lie suggests re peal of the. tax on time deposits Kepeiling the four mill tax on real estate mortagages. Amending the law Denalzilnar banking institutiona 60 per cent for failure to pay taxes by August 1. Repealing the law charging three kinds of taxes against one corpora tion, on capital stock loana, and gross receipts and levy but one on gross receipts, equaliog that collect ed on all three. Place a tonnage tax on domestlo aiaea of aotheroite oool to maka out- (ai.1e residents compensate ths state for depletion of a natural reaoqroe, Leaves and Fruits Tree Damaged. A Germantown physician tent to State Zoologist Surface two .sets of leaves In bad condition, one having been taken from a Beokel pear tree and tbe other from a Magnum Bon. urn plum tree. The trees were planted last fall, ard the phyiscian asked for "a diagnosis," and a sog gestion aa to a cure, "if such is pos sible..'' The answer of Prof. Surface was to Ihe effect that tbe plum trees are suffering for tha lack ot moistuie, which baa caused the leaves to shrivel and appear as if burnt, while the leaves of the pear tree show evidence of the work of the pear leaf slog (Calirns) cereal). . ... . "Thik pear-leaf slug" the profess, or continued, "ia a serious pest of the leaves of pear trees, eating away the green epidermis and making the leaves look exceedingly brown and enrobed. Similar sings feed on the loaves of tbe cherry trees aud do a great deal of damage about the midsummer. There is really no need of trees snffering daniago from these pests when remedies are so easily applied. There are no Insect posts more easily destroyed. Dusting with slake.l lims alone is sufficient to kill them. Their bodies are always moist and the fresh caustic lime Doming io contract with them seems to born them and destroy them. A mixture of one part of Paris green in thirty parts of lime before dusting tbem ia advisable. If the lime be not on hand, tbey can be killed by dust ing with a dilute mixture of Paris green aud flour, using one part of the former to thirty parts of the latter. Tbey can also be killed by spraying with argenltes, such aa arsenite of lead, or Paris green applied as for the codling moth or other chewing insects on the leaves, and they can be killed by contaot inseottoides, such aa are reoommenped tor sucking in sects. ."With soon diversity of efficient remedies it is easy to get rid of pear leaf or cherry-ltal slogs, These are really not slugs but tbe larvae of a sawfly or wasp-like Insect. Tbey will soon go into the ground where they spend the winter, to emerge as four winged oreatores next spring, "Your plum tree should be water ed abundantly with water contain inga teaspoonfol of nitrate of soda in eaoh gallon of water. This will put new growth. Into it. Keep the ground cultivated." Old Folks Picnic. Those who attended the old folks plonio Labor Day at the Pines, the pleasant home of Arthur N. Roe and wife near Branchvtlle, N. J. were charmed with the place and its sur roundings and overwhelmed with the hospttality of the host and host ess. The Pines is a beautiful location surrounded with natural woods and the beauty and attractiveness Is en hanced by the twe artificial ponds and the neatness and taste displayed in ornamenting tbem and the grounds. You are in the heart of nature, with rocky cliffs, graceful forest trees and a revelation or new attractions at every tour. The picnic was largely attended by Jersey ilea with a considerable sprink ling of those from a distance and a numherfrom Milford. The Hamburg band furnished food muaio and a Male quartette from Jersey City was highly appreciated. Addresses were made and at the close a permanent organization was affected. The old est lady present was Sarah F. Keyes, aged 91 of Halsey N. J. and the old est gentleman Lewis Eaton of Au gusts, aged 5. Sixty-three persons were registered whose ages were over seventy years. It was a happy day for many who renewed old acquaint anceships and talked over former occurrences, and no doubt the next meeting will be eagerly anticipated An accident, which at first prom ised to mar the day but which fortu nately turned out with no very seri ous effects, happened Just at the be ginning. An old gentldinan, Henry Campbell and his wife in a wagon lu which also was Mrs. Elisabeth Howell fomerly of this County went over a precepltous place, and Mrs. Campdell was thrown at least 25 feet down landing on the sod be low. She waa badly scbooked but apparently not much injured. Mr. Campbell waa slightly cut and bru ised and Mrs Howell Jumped out and so escaped harm. It seemed almost miraculous that a horse, wsgon and two people could go over such a precipice and not be killed. The horse waa slightly scratched and the wagon. wUQhirtne4, OBITUARY Charles U.

A Memorial for the Public Schools of Pennsylvania. To commemorate for tbe publio school system of Pennsylvania and the group of men who saved it dur ing the critical days of 1834-35 ia tbe purpose of the Pennsylvania Publio School Memorical Association recently-organized and incorporated by some of the leading educators of this state The memorial is tortake the shape of an exedra monument coutlaning three groups of figures of men who did most for tbe preserva tion of the free publio schools system of this state. The men ao honored are Thaddens Stevens, whose stir ring appeal before the legislature, In 18S6 prevented the repeal of the bill providing our publio schools, as well aa Governors Wolf and Ritner who labored for the same purpose. The plan to erect a memorial haa been aeveral years forming. It ori ginated with Major Edward B.Uoore of Wast Chester, waa filled with son viotion that proper hooor had never been done to Stevens. Msjor Moore thereupon designod a group of three figures aa tribute to tbe services rendered by Stevens. In tbe center of this group was S'evens in the at titude ef delivering his memorable speech to house Representatives. With him in the group' were two obildreo, a boy and a girl, with school books In their bands. The ohildren are ahown with bare feet and tattered olothing, typioal cf the olasa that Stevena had In mind when he made hit famous plea. The de sign won such admiration from ansc versed la monumental art that per mission waa secured from Major More for J. Otto Sohweixer, thsemi nent Philadelphia sculptor, to make a plaster model of it. The model and the idea it por trayed received enthusiastic endorse, ment from prominent elucatora and others Interested in tbe educational history of the state. -'Among these were Dr. Nathan C. Sohaeffer, State superintendent of Public Instruction in Philadelphia; Hon. Jaraea A. Beaver, -ex-governor of the state; tbe late Alexander K, McClure and others. It is at tbe suggestion ef Ex governor Beaver that the statues of Ex-goveruors Wolf and Ritner were added to the original group, the idea being that their services in the cause ot public school educa. tion merited their inclusion in the group For the purpose of earring out the original project the Pennsylvania Public School Memorial Association was organized, incorporated and a charter secured by the following well known men; Dr. Nathan C. Schaeffer; Col. Alexand r. K. McClure Major Edward B. Moore, Hon. Will lam W. Griest, Dr. Martin G. Brum baugh, Col Edwin A. Landell, Hon. Henry Bouck, Col. R, Bruce Ricketta and Col. Oliver C. Bosbyahsll. The assooisUon proposes to raisa the funds for the areotioa of this memorial by means of a popular sub seriptioa. The appeal la being made particularly to that great mass of living graduate of the Pennaylva nia Publio Schools who appreciated what it haa done for them It is the purpose of the association to erect the memoral within the cap ital grounda at Harrisbnrg where, it will add to the beauty of the grounds and buildings.
