A queer state of affairs has arisen in
GallitZin. which was recently the seat of
81 much trouble between the Sisters of ST.
Joseph and the American Mechanics.
After the gar5 bill passed the school di-
rectnrS insisted upon employing the sisters
to teach in the public school building re-
gardeSs of consequences. but the nuns
refused. saying that since the garb bill
was a law Ihev would obey it. Since
then arrangements have been made for
the Sisters To teach in the old church
building at that place. All the Catholic
citizens of the town agreed to send their
children to the Sisters and not to the pub
lie schools. As the population of Gallitzin
a. s.T, L.
new school building there will be prac-
tically deserted.
One of the best arguments against the
too great use of farm machiLery is Illus
trated on the farm of Z. Il. Crider, near
Beech Creek. Centre county. This spring
Mr.. Cridrr put out a field of l25 acres of
corn and just to experiment he planted the
entire field by hand. The field was first
marked out in checkers about three feet
square, and then planted. The utmost
care was exercised and but four grains of
corn were put in one hill. The phosphate,
of which there was about ton To every
ten acres, was also put in by hand. And
now the result far exceeds the expectation
of the most Sanguine. The corn in fields
alongside of Mr.. Orders field is only OF
the nominal growth, wEie the corn in Mr.
Orders field is all from twelve to seven
teen feet in height and many of the stalks
bear two and some even three ears.
