THE Big Time
ON THE FOURTH

In another column will be found a
communication from "A Merchant -
who urges an immediate meeting of
citizens and business men to take ac-
tion on the Fourth of July celebration.
The communication is timely and
should receive attention of the people.
That this is Danvilles year is con-
ceded by the nearby towns, none of
them having taken any steps towards
having a big time of their own.
Furthermore they are willing to come
here and to join i'll the parade and the
shouting This plainly puts upon
Danville the necessity of being the
host of all this section of central
Pennsylvania on the nation 5 birthday.
So the duty upon the citizens is not
only that of patriotism, but of hOspit
alitv as we'll.
"A Merchant wisely observes that
June is close at hand and that time is
valuable. This is the most important
feature of the matter and his appeal
for a meeting to be held at once should
be needed There should be no wait
ing for some one else to take the in
itiative, but every citizen ought to
join in the movement Immediately.
There is a fund of $l20 now i'll the
hands of the citizens committee
which should become the nucleus of
the money for the coming celebration.
But the real matter to be acted upon
is that Danville must have celebra-
tion and that while the cash on hand
can be used it should not prevent
more money being subscribed. The
old saying that money makes the mare
go can be paraphrased for present uses
to saying that money will make the
eagle scream here on July Fourth.
An impression exists that the Con-
tinental Fire Company wanted that
S120 fund, but this is misapprehen-
sion What the Continental boys
want is a great and glorious celebra-
tion and in this they are joined by all
the other companies. The Continental
Company has Fourth of July COM
mittee and has already gotten up its
part of the days events. There will
be a big firemen's picnic at Hunters
Park, with a program that will at
tract many visitors
The Continental committee is ar
ranging for a firemen's parade and
has already received acceptances from
Watsontown, Lewisburg and Blooms
burg. Sunbury is expected to send up
big delegation and other acceptances
are also expected.

BOOM IN GAS
AND OIL STOVES

The coal strike in the anthracite
region has caused many Danville
householders to put in oil and gas
stoves. There has been quite a boom
the past few days in these stoves and
those who have gotten them, as well
as those who intend doing likewise
will not be worried over the strike
during the summer. The scarcity of
coal in the yards of the local retail
dealers has also been the cause of an
activity in the wood market
\ reporter of this paper visited near
ly every coal yard in Danville Mon
day and the story was the same at all
the places, very little coal on hand
and no prospects of getting any
One dealer summed up the local
situation by saying that there are not
over fifty tons of coal in the stock of
all the Danville retailers. At another
yard the news man was informed that
no orders had been taken for two weeks
and that there were but eight tons in
stock.
One of the men interviewed express
ed the opinion that it would be better
if the bituminous miners would also
90 out. This would bring on a.crisis
and force a settlement of the question
He said that so long as the bituminous
mines kept the markets supplied the
situation in the anthracite region
could be prolonged indefinitely
Miners are leaving the coal regions in
large numbers, many of them having
secured work here and at Milton. The
foreigners are going across the sea 10
their homes, where they expect to re-
main so long as the strike Is in effect
1t looks now rs if nothing will be
done until next Monday, the time fixed
for calling out the engineers, fircmcn
and pumpmen. This action will
greatly enhance the gravity of the
situation. The operators certainly do
not want their properties ruined, but
what plans they have in view to pre-
vent the mines from being flooded are
unknown. Tho mine workc : claim
that ninety per cent of the iircmcn
will strike. The engineers and pump
men seem satisfied with present CON
ditions.
Many individual operators are will
ing to grant an eight hour day and an
increase of wages of - per cent, in
accordance with the wage scale adopt
ed by the convention of mine workers
held at Shamokin in March How
ever, it is thought that none of
the miners will be- allowed To return
to work until the big corporations
grant the demands of the union
