NEED A BOARD OF TRADE.
If the Old Board is Entirely Defunct, Or
ganize a New Board.

There was time in the months gone
by when Reynoldsville had board Of
trade, but the board has become in
active, II not entirely dead. The plain
truth Of the matter Is that we must
have live board OF trade, and II life
cannot be injected into the old board,
then bury 1t and organize new board
Of trade. Every live town has board
Of trade, and IL is reflection on town
the size Of Reynoldsville II 1t does not
have board OF trade. Industries seek
ing location will keep out of town
that has not enough life TO have board
OF trade. Our town has just as good
opportunity to get chunk OF prosper
ity as any other town, In fact II has q
better chance than some when the in
ducements and advantages the town
has to offer large industries are made
known. II there was as much energy
used In doing something TO boom the
town as there is wasted In growing
and complaining, Reynoldsville would
be even better town than 1t Is to-day.
Whining and complaining is contagious
and some times you will meet people
who are making money, but they
have the "blues" because some chronic
"kicker" has been wagging his worth
less tongue In their presence. This Is
all foolishness. what is the use OF
repining, wherever there's will there's
way" Waken up, get some life in
you. Organize a board Of trade and
start the ball to rolling with more i'm
petus. Unless we do something for our
selves we need not expect outside capi-
talists to come In to help us along.
Where and when will the first meeting
be held to organize new board OF trade,
or resurrect old board?

Small-rox Scare.

The people OF Soldier were very much
alarmed when they learned last week
that Otto Pifer, who was running a
country coal bank and was "baching''
near that place, had the smallpox.
Otto was member OF the family in Nc
Calmont township, where a case OF
smallpox was found several weeks ago.
He was removed to his home and his
shanty was thoroughly disinfected. The
doctors say there is no danger Of
any new cases at Soldier as a result OF
this case.

Salt ae m Fertilizer.

There are many inquiries about salt
MS fertilizer. Salt is rarely of any
use as a fertilizer proper. The ele-
ments of which 1t is composed are
found in most soils in sufficient
amounts for all except for such plants
rs asparagus, whose natural home is
by the seaside. But salt is found in
practice to have much more value than
would be supposed. Its effect is best
on rich land in vegetable matter, which
the salt, in the small amounts usually
applied, helps to decompose. In larger
quantities salt is q preservative from
decomposition, but no farmer would
think of applying enough to injure his
land. 49,

Growing Blueberries From Seed.

The Maine Agricultural Experiment
Station reports that they have found it
comparatively easy to grow blueber-
ries from seed. They used good pot
ting soil, to which leaf mould had been
added, washed the seed from the pulp,
and allowed it to freeze during the
winter, then sowed it in the spring
thickly on the surface of the SOIL
packed it down with board and COW
cred with slight sprinkling of soil.
They were handled once. and later in
the summer were transferred to cold
frame, where they were covered with
litter during the winter. The next
spring they were transplanted into
beds, shaded until established and
made good growth during the sum-
mer. They say the low blueberry,
"Vacclneum Pennsylvanicum," will
fruit in three or four years, while the
high bush, "Vaccineum corynbosum,"
requires from four to six years. We
think the shortest period they name for
either is at least year too long, but
will not dispute the matter. Both
these varieties are relatively easy to
transplant either from swamps or up
land, and they may be propagated by
grating or division of the roots. AS
we called attention to the possible cul
tivation of these berries several years
ago we feel an interest in this matter
and hope to see them grown as com
monty as trawberries and black herries
are now.-The Cultivator.

ingly remarked
Tradition would uphold him in his
belief that at certain stages OF mans
development an interment is necessary

Earth worms are not soil formers.
Tor they are seldom met with in soils

They are simply renovators. Every
time worm is driven by dry weather

brings to the surface, when it empties
the contents of its body, few particles
of fresh earth. At the same time it
fertilizes the subsoil by opening up

A neglected cold is frequently the
cause of death.
1t is more often, however, the cause
of some chronic disease.
There is not an organ in the body
but what is liable to become seriously
deranged by a neglected cold. Dis
eases of the kidneys. bladder and diges-
tive organs are all frequently the result
Of neglected cold.
Hundreds of dollars are spent on
doctors and medicines trying to cure
these diseases but until the true cause
of them is discovered there will be no
use in using medicine.
Dyspepsia medicine, diarrhoea medi-
cine and constipation medicine Is of no
good whatever when catarrh is the
cause. The catarrh must be treated.
The cause being removed, the derange-
ments will disappear.
Peruna cures catarrh of the digestive
organs, the urinary organs or any OF
the internal organs.
If you do not derive prompt and sat
isfactory results from the use of Pc
runa, write at once to Dr. Hartman,
giving Il full statement of your case,
and he will be pleased to give :ou his
valuable advice gratis.

COMMERCIAL REVIEW.
General Trade Conditions.

r. G. Dun & Co.'S weekly review o.
trade says:
Distribution OF merchandise shows nc
dir'inution, and prospects are bright
Tor continued activity. Dealers in many
lines are VI; gent for prompt shipments
calling upon jobbers and manufactur-
ers for goods already overdue. This
indication OF reduced stocks is a good
sign. and tends to sustain quotations.
Western reports are especially favor
able, and the early marketing OF cot
ton has brought distinct improvement
at the South. Voluntary advances in
wages have been announced in a mum.
Der OF instances, while the labor situa
tion is more satisfactory, although not
entirely free from controversy.
Supplies OF cotton goods do not ac-
cumulate in first hands, the demand con.
tinuing to keep pace with production,
which holds prices steady. Few ex-
port sales are reported, not through any
lack OF inquiry, but owing to the fact
that sellers will make no concessions.
Wool averaged slightly higher in SYM
pathy with the London sales, but fur
ther declines occurred in hides and
leather has become dull. New England
shoe shops have received large orders
Tor winter goods, assuring activity for
two or three months at some factories.
