QUESTION OF
DRAINAGE

The old problem of getting rid Of the
water which drains down from the
Magill farm upon the borough at the
head of Centre and Spruce streets,
which has been cause of contention
for many years past, is just now in
danger of leading to strained relations
between the borough and MahOning
township, the two parties involved.
The committee on streets and bridges
of council met the supervisors Of Nah
oning township on Saturday afternoon
and went carefully over the ground
The cOunCilmen present were Amos
Nastine, George Jacobs and r. W.
Bedea Edward l.. White and William
Wertman were present as supervisors
But little was accomplished by the
meeting, the councilmen holding to
one view and the supervisors to anoth-
er. At the rear of Cherry street is an
alley, much used by general travel
fianked on the east side by deep gul
ley. This alley in a general way fol-
lows the borough line, although it is
a matter of dispute just how much. if
any. of it is in the township. The
councilmen feel convinced that only a
few feet of it is in the borough. The
supervisors feel equally sure that at
some points the alley is practically
wholly in the borough and in support
of their position they cite the fact
that the township has never repaired
the alley, while the borough has. I'm
til the borough line is located beyond
dispute it will be impossible to deter
mine whether the borough or township
is responsible for drainage as it affects
the alley. 1t was decided therefore
on Saturday to take no action in the
matter until the borough surveyor
locates the line Mr. Keefer, the sur
veyor, will probably be called to town
this week.
Regardless of the location of the line
the township supervisors do not hold
themselves responsible for the water
which comes down from Magil's farm
at the head of Centre and Spruce
streets. In taking its course down
through the borough they claim the
water follows the contour or natural
fall of rhe ground and that in order to
protect the borough they are not OBJ
liged to divert the water by an artifi-
cial channel through higher ground, esp
ecially as such a course would lead to
Bloom street. In this conclusion the
cOunCilmen, or at least some of them,
insist that the supervisors are wrong
and that it is the townships duty to
open and keep free from all obstruc-
tions the deep gutter flanking the east
side of the alley along the borough
line.
No special provisions have been made
on Centre and Spruce streets for carry
ing off the heavy accumulation of wat
er that comes down from Magill's
farm and the result is that both thor
oughfares were very badly washed
during the summer and had to have
considerable money expended upon
them and even now are in bad shape.
Just what the outcome of the matter
will be it is difficult to predict at this
time. During the meeting Saturday
at times. but it is hoped that wise
counsel and prudence will prevail. BY
each side yielding little a compromise
could be easily effected and each side
would save money.

What The Kidneys Do.
Their Unceasing Work Keeps Us

All the blood in the body passes
through the kidneys once every three
minutes The kidneys filter the blood.
They work night and day. When heal

impure matter daily, when unhealthy
some part of this impure matter is left
in the blood. This brings on many

GOVERNOR TALKS
ON PENNA HISTORY

Governor Samuel W. Penlypacker
was among a number of guests to at
tend by special invitation the first fall
meeting of the Daughters of the Am
erican Revolution, which was held at
Harrisburg last week.
The governor made an informal ad
dress to the members, told several
stories and concluded by reading a
poem.
Miss Pearson, regent Harrisburg
chapter, presented the governor, who
prefaced his remarks by saying that
he was not prepared to give written
address, rather more of an Informal
talk. He spoke first of all of the
patriotism which should abound in US
and of our love of home, and deplored
the fact that in the introduction of
divers elements into our population
there should be lack of men and wo-
men to learn the arts that characterize
ed our early homes
1t is a good thing to be conserva-
tive patriotism should begin at
home, like other virtues " "Pennsyl-
vania, said he, always and ever ap-
poals to me, and to all of you. The
influence of this Commonwealth upon
the nation is powerful. The States of
Virginia and Massachusetts are sub
stantially alike. In Pennsylvania the
Dutch settled on the Delaware river,
followed by the Swedes. Afterwards
came the William Penns. Later the
Dutch from Holland, the Germans from
the upper Rhine some French Huge
nots and the Scotch Irish, great div
ersity of race and thought Our State
thus differs from other colonies, but
it has its disadvantages because the
people not united in thought cannot
be united in effort.
again, it has advantages; people
brought together in this way promote
greater intelligence, greater liberality
of thought Philanthropy did for us
what accident did for other nations,
and laid the foundation of a Common
wealth.
American institutions come from
our own State When the struggle
against slavery began 1t commenced
here The first abolition society was
founded in Philadelphia. Art had its
origin in our State the first American
scientific institution was in Pennsyl-
vania. The first law school and the
first medical school were connected
with the University of Pennsylvania.
In literature the German Bible, works
of Milton, Homer, Shakespeare and
others were all printed for the first
time in Philadelphia. In war ne-halt
the Commanders-in-ch chief of the army
came from Pennsylvania. The revolu.
tionary war began in the east at Lex
ington and Bunker hill, but became a
struggle to gain possession of the Della
ware river; nearly all of the battles of
George Washington were fought
around or near Philadelphia. The
three most important events in Ameri-
can history happened within the con.
fines of single State, the signing of
the declaration OF independence, the
adoption of the constitution AMI the
battle of Gettysburg. -
