Opening of a New Church.

With impressive services, the Epis-
copallans of this place says the Ber-
wick Enterprise, formally opened their
new church Sunday. Easter music
rendered by vested choir of boys
lent a sweet and melodious charm to
the auspicious occasion.
The new edifce is the realization
of the efforts of Rev. d. N. Kirkby
and ofthe rector, Rev. Dlggles, whose
untiring efforts have achieved much.
In his sermon Rev. Diggles spoke
of the movement to secure the new
church, stating that over 100 years
ago the Episcopalans purchased a
lot for church site here, but did not
fulfill their fondest desires until the
new edifce was erected. Rev. Dig
giles and his parishoners are in per-
feet harmony aid all are happy in the
possession of their new house of wor-
ship.

Dear Old Mother.

When time scatters white flakes
over the once dark glossy hair of the
dear old mother, and plants furrows
on the cheek which you can remem-
Der as once being smooth and pink
then is the time to love and cherish
even more tenderly than ever before,
that mother in the home. The eye
may be dim, but it never fails to glow
with love for man or woman who was
once her little child, her sands of time
are nearly run out, but her affections
will last to the end. Then watch over
her, as she watched over you; cheer
her declining years with your own
never waning devotion. She is your
mother, whose place no ether has or
ever can fill. For years she gathered
you in her arms In times of childish
troubles; do not forget now to some.
times hold her arms to your heart and
kiss her wthered cheek.

The trout fishing season came
yesterday and Notwithstanding the
fact that the continual rains have
made the water too high for Sue
cessful ventures number of our
most ardent lovers of the sport de-
parted for the head waters of Fish
ingcreek equipped with tackle and
lures for the capture of the speckled
beauties. For many days they
have been talking about the glori-
Gus sport and anticipating the pleas
ure of it. If you have never walked
along a brook, rod in hand and
creel on hip do so this season and
realize that life holds a great pleas
ure that you have missed.
Among those who left Tuesday
night to be on hand where the
trout live early Wednesday morn
ing were w, B. Allen, Oscar Alex
ander, Jerry Hess, Harry Derr, O.
B. Mellick, ]. M. Kline and Ed

THE COLUMBIAN.
BLOOMSBURY. PA.
THURSDAY, APRIL 10, 1908.
Changes on the 2. & R.

Along the p. & K. lines from
Philadelphia to Willlamsport, exten-
sive improvements are being made in
many places, and the company finds
difficulty in securing the necessary
number OF masons, bricklayers and
carpenters to push the work with the
rapidity that is needed to accomplish
what is contemplated before the win
ter months again set in and compel
outside work to cease. Many stations
are to be overhauled. AT Gordon a
10000 gallon water tank is to be con-
structed and other improvements are
being made, requiring large amount
of masonry. Since the recent inspec-
ton of the road by Vice President
VOORHEES, number Of changes on the
Catawissa division have been halted.
The work of installing the block sys-
tenn on that division has been sus-
pended entirely and preparations for
double tracking the road from White
Deer to Montgomery have been dis
continued until further orders. The
Catawissa road has not been capable
of handing the large volume of freight
and it is thought that Mr.. Voorhees,
order means that most of the freight
will shortly be sent over the Shamokin
division.

Eagles Entertained.

The boom session held by Theta
Castle Knights of the Golden Eagle
in their hall Tuesday night was a
success Notwithstanding the un-
favorable weather conditions. More
than a hundred and fifty guests
were present and all enjoyed them
selves to the fullest extent. The
entertainment consisted of music
by members of the Normal School
orchestra, an address Of welcome
by Fred B. Hartman, a recitation
by Miss Mary Correll, two vocal
solos by Mrs. Harry Barton, several
selections by the Cryder family
orchestra of Willow Springs, an ex-
cellent address by Rev. G. H.
Hemingway and vocal solos by H.
Domer Geisinger and D. ]. Tasker.
At the conclusion of the program
refreshments of an excellent quality
were served.
The committee in charge of the
affair was composed of DR.. F. w.
Redeker, Geo. P. Ringler, J. w.
Lewis and Henry Knorr. The ar
were complete in every
particular and everything passed
off without break.

Amusements.

The local theatrical season is fast
drawing to close. There are but
four attractions yet to appear, they
are "Wlne Woman and Song"
April 2Ist; East Lynne" April
24th; King of the Coal Fields, /"
April 2Sth, and Barlow and Wilson, S
Minstrels, May end. Taking it all
the way through the season has
been very successful one. The
attendance at every show with the
possible exception of one or two,
where the troupe's reputation pre-
ceded them the attendance has been
good. This can be attributed in
no small measure to the electric
railway. And should the road be
built to Millville and Orangeville
this summer and there is every in
dica tion that it will be, business at
the play house will be still better
next season. AS good patronage
makes it possible to secure strong
attractions, we may look forward
to the appearance in Bloomsbury
next year Of some of the top
notchers."
We would call especial attention
to the attraction for next Thursday
night East Lynne" This is one
of the standard plays and will be
given with all special scsnery and
strong cast. The demand for
seats will be large.
The Columbian. [volume] (Bloomsburg, Pa.) 1866-1910, 1903-04-16
To Enforce the Fish Law.

Now that the season is here for
catching trout, it behooves the angler
to be careful in his tull observance of
the fish laws, ami the authorities will
endeavor to enforce them to the strict
est letter of the law. Wardens will
patrol the streams during the season,
and having the authority to examine
the baskets of any fisherman, only the
legal sizes should be taken from the
streams. The nimrods predict a
good season for the speckled beauties,
and with an enforcement of the law,
there will be enough at all times to
provide good days sport withou,
depicting the streams.

Attended the Easter Dance.

Bloomsbury was well represented
at the Easter Dance, held at Cata-
wissa Monday evening. The follow
ing were present: Misses Edith
Miller, Claire Gross, Bess Bachman,
and Bess Rawlings, and Messrs. Boyd
Maize, Alfred Armstrong, w. Clark
Sloan, Gerald Gross and Howard
Clark. Our people report that it wa S
one OF the most delightful terpsichorean
events that CataWissan's have given
IN recent years.

The council of St. Matthew s
Lutheran church has received a
communication from Andrew Car
negie in which he offers to pay
half the cost of a new pipe organ
for the church. The congregation
for years has been desirous of pur-
chasing pipe organ but their f.
nances would not permit of it. Mr..
Carnegie's generous offer makes
the way comparatively easy and il
is quite likely that the organ will
soon be forthcoming.

j. E. Roys Will Not Move.

1t was announced some time ago
that J. +. Roys would vacate the
front room in the COLUMBIAN
OFFICE at the expiration of his
lease. Since that a new arrange
ment has been made, and his lease
renewed for period OF five years.
His room will be somewhat en-
larged, and changes will be made
in the COLUMBIAN rooms that will
also give us more space, thus giving
what both parties needed, namely
larger quarters. The entrance to
this Office will remain as before,
through Roys' Jewelry store.
Cigars. The Sweet Jaras are
the finest in Bloomsbury for a SC.
smoke, try them, at Mercer's Drug
and Book Store.

plants are smallest and their depre-
datlonS are therefore most conspicQ-
| Gus and serious.
As the eggs from which they hatch
are laid in the previous fall and the
larvae attain partial growth before
winter we see why they are most
abundant in corn on sod ground
They have been feeding on the grass
and clover, but when this is DESTROYED
by plowlng they are forced to attack
the young corn plants.
REMEDIES.
There is no one remedy that is en-.
tirely effective, but if the following
are combined we are sure relief will
be obtained. I.-Destruction of all
weeds and grass and unnecessary
vegetation, especially in gardens.
This will reduce their numbers in the
summer and fall so they will not be SO
destructive the following spring. a.
Hand picking, by finding: where they
have cut off plants and by digging
slightly beneath the surface of the
soil, hnd and crush the larvae. This
is particularly effective Just after a
ram when their burrows or tunnels
can be readily seen, looking like
ridges made by minute moles. We
know practical and extensive farmer
who regularly practices this method
every spring thus going over all his
corn helds and effectively destroying
the insects. 3.-Plowing in the late
TALL SO their cells IN the ground will be
broken and they will thus be de-
stroyed. 4-Board traps made by
placing boards on the ground in the
garden and picking the cut-worms
from under them in the daytime while
there concealed. 5.-A New Eug-
land writer says he has trained hIs
chickens to hunt for and exterminate
the climbing cut-worms by first kill
ing few on the ground under the
trees and as the fowls eat them they
learn to scratch there for more. 6. =
Poison bran is effective as a poison
and is about the only means of apply
ing real insecticide. STIR one tea
spoonful of Paris Green into a quart
OF water add one pound of coarse
brown sugar or one pint of moasses
with this molsten a gallon of bran
(addlng little more water If neces.
sary) Stir the poison mixture
through 1t well. Put a spoonful be.
lore the growing plants or where the
seeds VIII be planted, few steps
apart all over the field, and covet it
with soil to keep domesticated fowl,
from finding it. 1t will kill the cut.
worms, but will also kill chickens il
they find and eat it.
