Use Immature Calves

Complaints have recently reached
the Dairy and Food Depart nent from
certain counties of Pennsylvania that
number of dealers are engaged in
buying calves from three days to a
week old from farmers and that these
are being shipped outside of the state
for food purposes
Some of these dealers are making
daily shipments and the practice is be-
coming quite common, because dairy
men find q more remunerative source
of income from the sale OF milk than
they would realize from permitting
the calves to reach more mature age
before placing them on the market.
1t is claimed that the bulk of this
so-called "bob veal" and monkey
veal'' is being shipped TO New York
and New jersey, where it is consumed
in boarding houses and restaurants. In
these places il Is alleged this meat is
used for "chicken pot-pies" and other
dishes OF like character.
1t has also been asserted that a con-
siderable portion of this illegal meat
Is being canned and placed on the
market undor fancy names, and is be-
ing sold in many instances for chick

got the people of his bondslave life
and later with twenty missionaries re-
turned to Ireland extending to the
Celtic people the offer of Christianity.
He first landed on the coast of
Wicklon; finally at Durdrum Bay,
County Down He sought out his
former master but failed to convert
him. His wish was to visit Tara, the
capital of Ireland. He sought first the
conversion of the king, princes and
Chieftains of tire land.
Paganism gave way. Druidism
lost its spell. Pastors were educated
and ordained to the ministry and
schools arose. DR.. Mccormack paid
fine tribate TO St Patrick not only as
to his religious zeal, but also to his
wisdom aud tact. IN first seeking the
conversion of the kings and princes he
set an example which is initiated by
missionaries at the present day.
est Patrick found Ireland npulent
in melody of music and song. Moore
and Sir John Stevenson travelled over
the country and gathered up the
songs, ,resettiDg and revising them and
thus we have the beautiful gems of
Garry Owen, " 1.-The Last Rose of
Summer" and The Meeting of the
Waters, - etc
"As we read the brief records of ST.
Patrick life we think of him as a
man of generous heart, keen in intense
seusibilities, capable of toilsome and
wearisome labor under the inspiration
of burning passion for saving souls.
He moves through Ireland, today at
Kerry, tomorrow at Mayo and the next
day at Armagh. ST. Patrick was a
Christian missionary. The people to
be converted we're fierce, sensual,
idolatrous.
Concluding DR.. Mccormack said ::
St. Patrick's day may seem to some
most absurd anniversary. But can
You not see IN 1t the homage or the
heart to disinterested and self sacrific-
ing goodness. There are those who
may laugh at the Irishman and regard
him as superstitious, but they should
not despisa the sentiment which i'm
pels him to veuerate the great evangel-
ist to whom he owes his Christian
faith.
"Tondor the august yet unambitious
form stands out against the back
ground of the ages. Through tie mists
of thirteen centuries reverend eyes
still gaze upon the brave heroic mis-
sionary, teacher, saint; his hands up
lifted in benediction upon the people
of his loving care and paternal coun-
sci. God save Ireland -

PREVENTING
FLOOD DANGERS

In common with other towns along
the North Branch the citizens of Dan
Vile are manifesting much interest in
the proposition to enlist the state in
an effort to prevent the recurrence of
dangerous floods along the river.
The prevailing sentiment found ex-
preston in a communication addressed
to the Borough Council at its last
meeting, which placed first on list
of municipal improvements needed a
dyke along the river bank above town,
which might be constructed in con-
junction with the State and railroad
companies interested.
People seem very much in earnest
and it is not unlikely that there will
be a good healthy agitation of the mat
ter during the next few months. a
good many plans are suggested. One
is proposition to ask the Legislature
to require the purchase and removal
of the islands and other distractions,
which can be done only on such au-
thority. There are very many islands
along the course of the Susquehanna
That they become under certain con-
ditions dangerous barriers is we'll il
lustrated by the islands in the river
above Danville which caused the for
nation of one of the most formidable
ice packs along the whole river and
still serves as an anchor to hold large
field of ice intact. At least many of
these islands are of no practical use
and could we'll be dispensed with
The towns up the river are interest
ed in a proposition to purchase and
destroy the dam at Nanticoke. 1t is
also claimed that the channel of the
river is at places filled up with calm,
mine and other refuse. which shou Id
be kept out of the stream.
Not only at Danville but all along
the river people have suffered severely
from the floods and speedy action is
warranted to protect themselves against
similar dangers in the future. Where
the local authorities manifest desire
to do their part the State can we'll
afford to be generous in helping
