FAMILY REUNION.
Mr.. Irwin Hamil's Children Gave Him an
Agreeable Surprise Last Saturday.

There is, perhaps, no day IN the
experience of parents passing
down in the afternoon of life, so
full of real pleasure, as that which
brings children and grandchll.
dren together around the board
in the old home.
Last Saturday was just such
an event in the experience of Ir-
vim Hamill, of Kuobsville. 1t was
the sixty eighth anniversary of
his birthday, and 1T occurred to
his children that it would be
about the proper thing to give
the old gentleman a pleasant sur.
prise. So, all the necessary ar
rangements were made, and on
that day all the children and
grandchildren assem- bled in the
old home, and a delightful time
was had.
Among those present were !:
John, Edward, Daniel and Charles
Hamll; Maggie Hamil, Mrs. Les
lie McGovern and daughter, Mel.
lie; John Gunnells, wife and son
John; Harvey While, vile and
son Russell; William Hamil, wife
and two sons Frank and Paul,
aud G. w. Wagner, Sr., wife, and
grandson Rush Wagner.
A splendid new suit of clothes
was among the other gifts, Mr..
Hamill received from his children
that day.

BIRTHS AND DEATHS.
A Law Goes into Effect in January Which
Will Relieve Assessors.


Will Relieve Assessors.
After the first of January, eve.
ry birth and death in the state of
Pennsylvania must be reported to
the officers in charge of the dis
trlct wherein it occurs and certifi.
caties issued by the authorities.
The late assem- oily appropriated
$40, 900 for the establishment of a
central bureau of vital statistics
to be under the supervision of the
State Board of Health and have
charge ofthe State Registration OF
births and deaths. The State will
be divided into registration dis
tricts, one for each city, borough
or township. This new depart
ment will relieve the assessors of
a portion of the work, as hereto
fore they have attended to the
registration of births and deaths,
receiving fee of five cents for
each one. A state registrar, a
medical practitioner for at least
ten years, will be at the head of
this department, and local regis
trar will, preside over each dis
trict. All deaths must be prompt
ly reported to HIM and no one can
be inferred until a death certlti
cate has been issued, giving the
name and occupation of the de-
ceased, the cause of death, par
ents' names and addresses, etc.
Each birth must always be report
ed aud a certificate issued. In
case of plural births certificate
must be issued tor each child
The local registrar provides all
blanks and receives a fee of 25
cents each birth and death re-
corded. The state registrar gets
a salary of $1,000 per year with
$4,000 for four assistsnt clerks
and $1,000 for incidental ex-
penses.

SAVE YOUR TREES
Important Public Meeting TO he Held for
Fruit Growers and Others by Staff
Experts al the Court House.

Millions of dollars worth offruit,
fruit trees, ornamental trees and
shrubbery have been destroyed
IN Pennsylvania during recent
years by avery mallinsectknown
as the San Jose Scale. This pest
is so lnconspicuous that it has de.
stroyed many orchards without
owners knowing the cause of the
trouble. 1t can be detected only
by an expert or by one who has
seen it, and it can be successfully
treated only by special methods
which the Division of Zoology, of
the State department of Agricul-
ture, is arranging to demonstrate
in each township where this pest
occurs.
Twenty experts have recently
been trained at the Pennsylvania
State College'by Prof. H. A. Sur
face, State Zoologist, and within
few days one of these trained
men is to start through this coun-
ty inspecting premises for the
San Jose Scale, and giving prac-
tical demonstrations of the best
methods of making and applying
remedies for it wherever 1t Is
found, 1t is very important to
locate 1t and check it at once IN
every township where 1t now oc-
ours and prevent it's spreading to
other regions.
A general preliminary meeting
will be held in the Court House,
at McConnellsburg, on Tuesday,
November 28th, State Zoologist
Surface, or one of his regular as.
sistants from Harrisburg will at.
tend this meeting with the expert
Mr.. II. +. Lee, who is to work in
this county during the next
month.
This meeting is for the purpose
of starting the work IN this coun.
ty, determining where the San
Jose Scale occurs as far as posi-
BILE, and making appointments for
local spraying demonstrations. L
All persons interested are invited
to attend and bring specimens of
infested fruit and twigs for in.
spection, hear the addresses,
meet the State representatives,
help arrange places for orchard
demonstrations and practical
spraying and save their trees. -
The State bears all the expense.
Expert Lee will spray Frank p.
Lynch'S plum orchard, near the
Court House, at the time of the
above mentioned meeting. Every
body interested, come, see the
demonstration and attend the
Farmers Institute.

THE FARMERS INSTITUTE.
McConneIIsburg, Nov. zSth and 10th; Fort
LittIeton, Nov. Both and Dec. LIST.


Every farmer should impress
it upon his mind that the annual
sessions of the Farmers lusti-
tute will be held at McConnells.
burg Tuesday afternoon and ev.
ening, and Wednesday morning,
afternoon and evening, Novem Der
2Sth and 29th, aud at Fort Little
ton, THURSDAY afternoon and ev-
ening, and Friday morning, after
noon and evening Novem ber Both
and December 1st.
Every farmer in the county that
can possibly get away from home
at that time should attend these
meetings. Thousands of dollars
OF public money are spent every
year to hold public county insti-
tutes for our school teachers, and
the State thinks the investment a
good one. If it pays to spend this
money to help our teachers do
better work, it certainly pays the
State to spend some money in
helping the farmer along, espe-
ci&lly, since the farmer has to
foot the bills.
There are many farmers In the
County who have never attended
one of these meetings; and, con-
sequently, do not know just how
much they are missing. Fam.
ers are not toiling on their farms
from one years END to the other
just for the sake of their health,
any more than printers, or any
other class of people. They like
10 make money just as well as
other people. The farmers in
stitute Is intended to help them
get larger returns for their labor
help them to work to better
advantage-to point out to them
some of the mistakes they are
making, and to give them broad
er views of the noble work in
which they are engaged.
A farmer who had just emptied
a bushel basket of corn into a
miry, filthy pen for his fattening
hogs. complained to friend who
was standing near, that his hogs
were not dong well. perhaps, I"
said the friend eff you were to
fix up trough for them, give
them a clean place to sleep, and a
clean place to eat their corn, they
might do better. And thus 1T
is. Some people think a hogs a
hog, that the more mire he has to
sleep and wade in, and to root in
to get his corn, the better he will
thrive, and the more of a hog
flavor will the meat have.
Arrange your work so you can
attend these sessions, and, if, af-
ter having done so, you will say
that you were not we'll paid eor
the time and expense, we shall
miss our guess.
Among the speakers that will
be present we notice the names

RoYLANCE SHOULD WIN.

The Democrats OF Provo did the SEN
sihle thing when they nominated Mayor
Roylance to succeed himself. and the
voters of Provo viii act wisely if they
continue him in Office for two years
more. Mr.. ROylance is considerably
more than a Democrat. He is a citizen
of the first class. During his term of
Office he has ably looked after Proves
municipal affairs. He has seen. to it
that only the best fitted men were given
positions, and his administration has
been an entire success.
Outside of his home city and through
out the state Mayor Roylance is highly
regarded. His friends generally viii
congratulate, not the mayor himself.
but the people of Provo. upon their op-
poFtunity 10 return him. For, the office
Of mayor is at best but an irksome
place; its rewards are few, its duties
onerous. And it IS a healthful sign
when men of Mr.. Roylance's caliber
viii consent to give their time and their
talents TO the public in an official ca
pacity.
Mr.. RoyIance should be elected by a
rousing majority. and he doubtless will
be.

mHERE CREDIT is DUE.

So the Salt Lake Real Estate associa-
ton, composed. though it is. of alert,
progressive gentlemen who have the
best interests Of the city. generally
speaking, at heart. Is not entirely re-
sponsible for all the sidewalks that
have been constructed during the Nor
ris administration. The records are
rather against the member OF the ass0-
citation who made that claim In Just
one instance has the body urged the
construction of a sidewalk, and on thst
occasion it only suggested that work
that had already been ordered be hur-
rled.
The Herald has no disposition TO
claim for Mayor Morris credit that be-
longs TO others. We do claim, though.
and there is abundant justification for
it, that Richard P. Morris is the best
mayor this city has had for many
years. that during the period he has
oeeu a the head of municipal affairs
public improvements have progressed
more rapidly, more intelligenuy than
ever before. AIr. Morris has not gone
out with a trowel TO lay sidewalks. he
has not personally superintended the
mixing of asphalt and the digging of
sewers.
He has. though, given his closest.
most careful attention to public works
He has seen TO it that the city received
a dollar of value for every dollar Of
cash it expended. His record of serv-
ice speaks Tor itself more forcibly than
any words we could possibly put into
print It is entirely creditable to him
as an official and as a citizen, and the
attempts that are being made to belit-
lie his work would be discreditable to
politicians Of the smallest calibre. And
such tactics are certainly unworthy of
some OF the gentlemen who are pursu-
ing them.
with all possible respect We desire to
say TO them that the voters of salt
Lake City will not be deceived. On
every hand they sec the fruits of the
election of Mayor Morris two years ago.
They have every reason to believe that
the era of progress inaugurated under
Mayor Norris viii be continued if he is
reelected next month. and they are
going 10 re-elect him. It is impossible
to figure out any other result.

FAITH IN LIFE INSURANCE.

"1he trouble about this<4ife insurance
investigation" said an insurance agent
yesterday, lis that it is destroying the
faith of the public in the principle OF
life insurance, and the destruction Of
that faith would be national calam-
ity. If the high officials of the cOmpa-
MES have been guilty of any crimes
want them punished, and ! don't think
a general housekeeping will do amy
i.drm. Rather it viii in the end do
good, but meanwhile. l hope the news
papers will not lose sight Of the value
of life insurance and the necessity for
continuance of the public's belief in
it,"
We agree with the agent that the
happiness of hundreds of thousands of
American homes would be seriously
menaeed if the heads of the households
lost faith in life insurance TO the extent
Of cancening their policies or allowing
them TO lapse. Something like 80 per
cent of all life insurance is made pay
able 10 wives. We have not the sta
tistics at hand, but it is entirely prob
able that 50 per cent of all life insur-
ance is intended to be the mainstay Of
the families whom the Insurance is de-
signed to protect.
Thousands OF widows have been
saved from restitution. from absolute.
stripping perjury. by life insurance pol
icies carried by their husbands while
they lived. Many a little home has been
saved from the sheriff, many an orphan
made comfortable by the proceeds of a
policy. We have no patience with men
who have anyone dependent upon them
when they argue that life insurance is
not necessary. 1t is as necessary as
food or shelter or raiment. He that
provideth not for his own, and es-
pecially for those Of his own house,
hath denied the faith and is worse than
an infidel, We are told by the Bible.
Life insurance is the simplest, easiest
and most rational way of providing pro-
lection for ones own. The premiums,
paid as they are in annual or semi
annual installments, are not missed 1t
is the only possible method open ~
some men for saving money. If~they
live they have in time a paid-up policy
or a chance 10 get back all they have
paid in and more. The thing is so sim
pie that we wonder that any argument
at all should be necessary.
And don't make the mistake OF think
Ing that a policy in any of the larger
companies is not safe. II is as safe a.
anything human can possibly be.

nate guinea pigs and other animals.
whefenpon the beasts straightway died
in commissions.
So beware. young man. beware. We
propose to start a country-wide move
ment in favor of compelling all girls to
wear muzzles. Until something better
can be devised we suggest catchers'
masks, such as are used in baseball
games. That would render the young
women perfectly powerless TO do harm.
We shudder when we think of the risks
we have been running.
Every day there run at large on the
streets of Salt Lake hundreds of girls.
They mingle freely with citizens of the
male persuasion and with others. Any
moment they are liable to sink their
deadly fangs into somebody and send
them to a horrible death. The German
professor is entitled TO a vote of thanks
for his warning. The various legisla-
lures and the congress of the United
States win surely take suitable action
at the earliest possible opportunity.

RETALIATION AND REFORM.

- ~ fNiN@ 49,
Although the american" party has
been collecting funds ever since its con-
vention, and although it is said to be
flush" with money, those contidinS
creditors who trusted it last fail are
still waiting for the settlement of their
claims.
So far. the only reply to requests for
payment has been a Reputation of re-
sponsibility for debts incurred by the
committees during the last campaign.
The puerile argument is offered that
the present committee is not liable for
debts made by the former committee.
No claim is made that the bills were
not legitimate, there is no dispute as to
the validity OF the accounts. nor is
there any question as to the identity of
the American party of 1895 with the
same party of 1904; in fact, no defense
is offered except that the party does not
have TO pay and does not propose TO
pay
It would seem 10 an ordinary busi-
ness man that an Organization which
viii repudiate debts TO tradesmen and
hired employees is hardly in position to
pose as a party of reform or win the
confidence of the people. If the party
should bunco the voters into giving 1t
control Of the city, it may reasonably
be expected 10 be just as shady in
power as it has proved TO be in its par
~ affairs. Reform with parties, like
reform in individuals. begins at home
and the only reform in the American"
party, so far, has been a reform which
left its bills unpaid and refused TO dis
cuss settlement
II the Americans were really poor,
as genuine reformers usually are, the
plea of poverty might be some extenu-
alton for its bad faith: but the party
comprises a number of the wealthiest
men. in town, it was given credit last
fan on the assurance that these men
would see that its honest obligations
We're met; it owes men and women who
can in afford to lose the amounts due
them. and it stands in exactly the same
position as any individual would who
repudiated just debts.
Not one of the leaders Of the Amer
lean" party would refuse to pay a bin
be had incurred, yet every one Of them
is willing for the organization to act in
a bad faith with its creditors. It's the
old story Of professions without works.
words that sound well and deeds that
are base.
The American" party has proved
that it cannot be trusted in money mat
ters which is pretty good reason that it
cannot be trusted in anything involv-
ing the honor and good faith of the
city
