FARMERS UNITED
CONTROL PRICES

Following tour through the farm
ing regions of Schuylkill. Berks, Col
umbia, Montgomery and Northumber-
land counties, party OF western
poultry dealers declare that the farm
ers of all the districts appear to have
organized and that Community of
Interests exists between them. They
assert that their Investigations de.
yeloped the fact that while the farm
ers have assiduously circulated the re-
port that the heat and the protracted
spells of wet weather were fatal for
young turkeys, and that the birds were
extremely scarce, just the opposite is
the case.
They say that OH many of the farms
large fiocks of turkeys were found in
fields that are isolated and out of sight
from the road. At one farm they said
that they found nearly 200 turkeys
feeding in hollow about 500 yards
from the farm house. When they in
terviewed the farmer, an hour later,
he said Turkeys will be high in
price and scarce this year. 1 have only
about half dozen on the place. The
gapes have killed close on to 300 of
them ON this farm alone since last
spring"
"How's your crop of potatoes?"
they asked.
Poor, poor" he answered, dolor-
ously. "Wet weather has rotted half
of 'em, and they are all small sized. "
Later on the party went to field
nearby and dug up six rows of pota-
toes. They found the tubers to be ex-
ceptionally large, and among them not
a single bad one was found.
For some time past it has been
known that alliances have been organ
ized throughout the farming districts,
and it is now said that central OF
governing committee fixes the prices
of everything the farmers sell and
limits the output, so as to keep the
demand strong and the prices high. -

FALL OPENINGS.

Each season the millinery exhibit in
the stores of Danvillc seems to grow
more bewilderingly beautiful and en-
ticing, and the creations this fall,
which adorn our show windows, and
the openings now in full swing, are
proving great temptations to the ladies
Many lady will be tempted, no doubt,
to exceed the amount intended in the
purchase of hat or bonnet. but tin e
headgear is one of the most important
parts of good wardrobe, and one of
the most conspicuous in a lady well
dressed. No good husband or father
will deny the wife or daughters of an
up-to-date fall or winter outfit, includ-
ing hat, gown, gloves, coat and shoes.
One should live within his or her
means, but who does not admire Il

DIPHTHER[A IS
PREVALENT

The time of year has arrived when
sickness is more prevalent The report
of the local registrar, DR.. Shultz, foI
September shows that there are seven
cases of diphtheria in the district as
against one in July and none in Aug
ust. Although Danville enjoyed an
immunity from diphtheria during the
summer the dreaded disease was lurk-
ing about in the rural districts, notably
in Mahoning township. and that it has
broken over the boundaries and taken
root in Danville is not at all surpris-
ing to the physicians. There has been
one new case in October Unless pre-
cautions are employed diphtheria will
no doubt continue to spread.
There is great deal of whooping
cough about town. Children can be
heard coughing upon the street and
physicians are confident of its prevail
ence even though they may not in near
ly all the cases be called to admins
ter. The results are considerably to be
dreaded in whooping cough and our
local physicians heartily endorse
Health Commissioner DR.. Dixon s
views on the serious after effects of
such diseases aud the necessity of
warding them off wherever possible.
During September twenty-five deaths
were reported, eight of which took
place at the hospital for the insane.
During the month of August there
were twenty eight deaths. During the
same month there were eighteen
births. While the record for August
might indicate falling off of popula-
tion to reassure our readers we have
only to refer to the full record from
the beginning of the year to Septem-
Der lst to show that there is materi-
al gain. Up to September lst the mum.
Der of births was 1S0, while the num-
ber of deaths to the same date was 1853.
Disinterments, which were prohibit.
ed during the months of July, August
and September, with the first of Octo-
ber may be permitted and the local
registrar is again issuing permits for
the same.

JOHN KEIM'S Big
SALE OF BRICK

The brick manufacturing business IN
Danville will boom between now and
freezing weather. John Keim, who
owns and operates the several brick
kilns hereabout has just sold 525. 900
of his big stock to John G.. McHenry,
of Benton
Mr.. Keim, who had stock of near
ly q million brick on hand was pre-
pairing to shut down for the season at
ter next week. Mr.. McHenry's big
purchase together with the prospects
of etfecting a sale of an additional
200, 600 elsewhere. has induced Mr..
Keim to wholly change his plans and
instead of shutting down he will put
on all additional number of hands and
rush all his yards to their full capacity
during the month of October.
Mr.. McHenry will greatly enlarge
his distillery at Benton, which is n
very old plant the business of which
has greatly outgrown the capacity. In
enlarging the plan originally was to
remove the distillery from its present
site on the hill down along the rail
road, where ground had been purchas-
ed. 1t later was decided merely to en-
large the old plant and as indicated
by the number of brick purchased the
annex will be very large one.
Mr.. Keim is already shipping brick
to Benton at the rate of car load per
day and will keep on at that rate un-
til the big order is filled. Several 9TH
er brick manufacturers are in the
market. One or more of these offer
brick at lower figure than Mr.. Keim
| will sell for, but the Danville brick
seems to have the preference, as it is
larger and possesses the additional ad-
vantage OF being hand made.

DAYLIGHT FIREWORKS.
rluch DiphtIleria in Bloomsbury.

Diphtheria, which figured so threat
eningly in the report of the local reg
istrar, is alarmingly prevalent in other
nearby towns. Bloomsbury is threat
ened with an epidemic of the disease,
which in the past two days has assum-
ed proportions that moved the author
tiles to take drastic meaures to bring
about its abatement.
The Third street school, where the
trouble seems to have started, has been
closed indefinitely. Yesterday the di-
rectors of the Bloomsbury public
library closed that institution also in
definitely.
During Monday and Tuesday five
new cases were reported and by last
evening nine homes in Bloomsbury
were under strict quarantine.

Man is the victim of bad habits in

Nasal whistling is a habit less easy

keeps his mouth closed, but breathes

nose. The sound resembles a low
whistle and, heard in the small hours,
