DEER SEASON.

Tomorrow, November 18th, will
mark the opening of the deer sea-
son. The stringent law passed by
the last Legislature, makes it un-
lawful to shoot a doe. The deer
must be buck with horns before
the hunter can take the risk of firing
at it. And then he is privileged
to shoot it only with a rife, as shot
guns are also barred. This places
such an embargo on The hunter
that it practically gives him no
chance of bagging any game and
keep within the limits of the law.
AS to the game itself woodsmen
and others riding in the deer terri
tory say deer are very plentiful.

TEACHERS G850OOO LIFT PRO.
VIDED FOR.
Dis,rc, Must First Pay the Raise, and Wait
10 Be Reimbursed Next June.

Superintendent of Public Instruc-
ton Schaeiler says that not SC
much money will be required as had
been thought to carry out the
amended Snyder Minimum Salary
act passed by the recent Legisla-
mre. 1t will add a little more than
$3.50, 600 a year in the aggregate
to the salaries of the school teach
ers of Pennsylvania.
This excess over the salaries paid
to the teachers last year will be
taken out of the increase i'll the
school appropriation from S., 500, =
900 to 81, 500, 900 by the recent
Legislature. The districts are, how
ever, required to pay their teachers
the increased salaries and wait un-
til next jane TO be reimbursed by
the State.
The Legislature set apart out Of
the increased appropriation S27s,-
600 for the support OF township
high schools for the two years be-
ginning the first Monday of June
next, and added $4,000 to the
amount heretofore appropriated for
two years in aid of these schools.
The Legislature also took out of
the increased appropriation S23o,-
600 to pay the salaries of the County
SuperintendentS of Schools.
These several amounts, when de-
Quoted from the total increased ap-
propriation, will still leave more
than $500, 600 additional to be dis
tributed among the 25OO school dis
tricts annually in the usual way, to
be used for the purposes for which
the S., 800, 900 heretofore appro-
priated has been used.
This will give every school dis
trict in Pennsy ylvania a larger ap-
preparation the next two years than
this year, provided they all comply
with the school laws and do not
suffer a decrease of population.
The Snyder act increases the
minimum salary of school teachers
from SIS a month to $40 and $50,
according to their qualifications
and term OF service, and directly
affects between $500 and 1000
teachers.

Why Men Desert from the Army.

Gan Enlisted Man in Leslie's Weekly.)
A certain troop OF cavalry had about
twenty desertions i'm one year. The
writer took pains knowing the men
personally-to inquire as to the reason
Of the desertions. Most Of the men
left because they hated and despised
the first sergeant, claiming that they
did not come into the service to be
ruled over by any man who was not,
and never could be. their superior in
intellect and education.
At the commencement of the Spanish
American War, when the army was
increased to war strength, intelligent
non-commissioned officers received pro-
motions to various vacancies with
greater pay. What was the result :?
The old soldiers who could hardly
write their own names were promoted
to the vacancies caused by the increase.
In great many cases where good
sense and intelligent discipline once
ruled, arrogance, ignorance, and pre-
tense now hold full sway. Organiza-
ton commanders depend on the old
soldier first sergeants, aud these latter
take advantage Of that trust, with the
idea that 1t was their general super
iority which caused their promotion.
What was and always will be the re-
suit? Desertions. What does the new
recruit expect from those in authority
when he joins his troop or company ?
He expects to find that those in autho-
rity are the most intelligent. What is
the most natural result when he finds
ignorance and pretense where he should
find intelligence He is disappointed.
No man can respect ignorance. Igno-
rant authority is despised and gradu-
ally hated, and hated to such an ex-
tent that men under such authority
will commit themselves in short time
and get into serious trouble, ending
with desertiun.

Caramels and the Pure Food Law.

Coniectioners are up against it
DR.. II. w. Wiley, Government,
chemist, and his pure food board
have frowned upon the false and
misleading labelling of caramels.
They will have none of it. The full
weight of their displeasure and the
strong arm of the law will fall upon
the makers of such sweetmeats who
label them falsely, who state that
they contain ingredients they do
not contain, or who fail to mark
them imitation" when there is an
imitation of advertised ingredients
The blow falls at a peculiarly uu-
propitious time. The Christmas
holidays are almost upon the con-
fectioners. They are preparing for
the usual rush at this season. All
have laid in their stock OF raw ma
terials and the labels have been
printed. There is little time to get
new labels and less time to expert
ment to produce caramels according
to the recipe of the Pure Food
Board.
The difficulty has arisen because
the board was called upon to an
swer the following inquiries pro-
pounded by manufacturers:
| Milk Caramel.-This piece con-
tans no milk. but il composed princi-
pally of sugar and glucose and we
would like To know if milk were added
to this formula whether we could still
continue to call it milk caramel?"
.. Peaches aud Cream Caramel. -
This piece is made up principally OF
sugar and glucose and milk aud flavor.
ed with peach flavor. As there are fifty
pounds of milk to a batch of IL pounds
would this be considered as one of the
principal ingredients ?
3. Whipped Cream Caramel. This
piece does not contain any cream or
milk, but is made up principally of su-
gar and glucose. The batch is, howev-
er, whipped and if we should add milk
to it, would it be misbranding to con-
tinue to call it whipped cream cara
mel ?"
The whole business is wrong, say
DR.. Wiley and his associates, and
II c:ust stop. In each instance the
have been misnamed.
They must be rechristened. They
will probably taste as sweet by
some other name, and in time the
people will get to know them by
the new name, but the confusion in
the beginning is unavoidable. It
is an evil to be patiently borne that
a great abuse may be corrected.
The food and drug law provides
that any article of food is misbrand.

1907 a Red Letter Year.
Right 10 Vote Won BY Women in Four
Countries.

Women all over the world are be-
ginning to look upon 1907 as red
letter year for their sex. Their first
notable step ahead this year was
the granting OF Parliamentary suf-
frage to the women of Norway.
Then Swedish women were made
eligible to municipal Office. Next
came the granting to the women of
Denmark of the right to vote for
and serve as members Of Boards of
public charities, and now the Brit
ish Parliament has just passed the
bill making women eligible as town
and country counsellers and alder
men.
In 1888, when the country conn
ellis were instituted in England, it
was thought that women were eli
gible, and three-Lady Margaret
Sandhurst, Miss Jane Golden and
Miss Cons-verc elected by the
voters of London. Beresford Hope,
who had been defeated by Lady
Sandhurst, contested the election
on the ground that women were not
eligible. The litigation was pro-
longed. Meanwhile the women
were permitted to serve. One Of
the duties assigned Lady Sandhurst
was the supervision of % infant
asylums. When Mr.. Hope finally
succeeded in ousting her one of the
leading London dailies sarcastically
remarked.
"It is to be hoped that the gen.
tleman will find himself equal to
mothering all those babies"

association will be held Saturday,

those teachers who have not form
cd the habit of attending these

ing compulsory about this, how

"The Toymakers."

When Charles FELTON, Pidgin
wrote Quincy Adams Sawyer"
the whole country laughed over this
quaint and pathetic picture of rural
life in New England. He has given
the country another chance and we
are all grateful, for Mr.. Pidgin has
not only clever wit but the greatest
originality and puts it all to great
use in THE Toymakers." "
He wrote the book and then the
play and everybody is reading the
novel and longing to hear the new
opera, for it has great possibilities.
"The Jollities' make the most of
the situations with their excellent
company Of good singers, dancers
and comedians. The Toymakers"
contains no tragedy. but is one con-
tinuous round of laughter for two
hours and a half, and it all leaves
a clean, healthy taste behind which
says much for its high order of re-
hnement.
Messrs. Blake and Bennett wrote
the music for the twenty-six clever
songs and they are full of melody
with a swing and "go" that carries
the audience with them.

Toymakers' will he seen at the

WEDDING BELLS.
One Of Our Host Popular Young La
dies at the Marriage Altar.

On Wednesday last at the home
of the BRIDES parents, Mr.. and
Mrs. Andrew ]. Marsh, we'll
known and respected citizens of
our county, occurred the marriage
of their daughter, Myrtle, to Mr..
Thomas E. Dye.
AS the beautiful strains of the
wedding march, rendered by Miss
Ida Tarpley, foated through the
rooms, the bridal party passed in
to the parlor. Overhead was a
beautifully constructed arch fes-
TONED with the holiday miscletoe
underneath which hung a double
heart surrounding two large let
ters, "M. D." Rev. FL. T. Raney
spoke the words which united the
two hearts for the remainder of
life's journey.
The bride was attired in beauti-
full gown of white organdy made
over white taffeta silk. The
groom wore the usual conventional
black.
The bride is one of our choicest
young ladies. From a little girl
she has grown up in our midst,
honored by old and young alike.
She has ever been bright star in
the home circle and now she has
gone to reign as queen in her own
home. The groom is a master
mechanic, now an employee of
Messrs Riggs Bros, of this city,
who conduct the largest and best
business of their kind in Wood
ruff county. He is one of our
best young men, honest and in
dustrious, and we'll deserves the
prize he won.
Light refreshments were served
later in the evening. After a de-
lightful afternoon the guests amid
good cheer and best wishes, de-
parted for their respective homes

Mrs. Sweeney, vocal teacher of

talent in a musical recital at the
school house Christmas night. Ev-
cry body invited. Proceeds for
church and school benefit.
Memorable is the institution of
Christmas. 1t is a festival of the
Christian church observed on Dec
ember Is as the anniversary of the
Savior's birth established by Pope
Telesphorus, who died A. D. 1873,
and throughout the subsequent
history of the church the day has
been one of the most noted of
Christian solemnities. In olden
times, COMPOUNDED with the Epiph-
any, it was celebrated in the
months of April and May. In the
fourth century, however, st. Cyril
of Jerusalem succeeded in obtain
ing from Pope Julian I an order
for ascertaining the exact day of
Christ's nativity. The great the
ologians of the time took as a ba-
sis the tables of the censors in the
archives of Rome, and established
the day which has prevailed ever
since.

THE LECTURE.

Twas the pleasure of our citi-
zens to hear H. Beecher Lewis,
State Lecturer of the Farmers IN
ion, speak at Wherry's hall, in
this city, last Saturday afternoon
and night.
County Lecturer, D. c. Berry,
of Howell, was present and intro
duced Mr.. Lewis.
A large crowd was in attend
ance at both lectures and every
one spoke in highest terms of Mr..
Lewis and his manner of speak
ing.
Mr.. Lewis having spent %
years of his life in the farming
business, knows well the needs of
the farmer and his requirements.
He is very able speaker and
pictures the present disadvantages,
from which the farmer is striving
daily to overcome, as only skill
ed artist can do. The Farmers
Union, Mr.. Lewis explained, is
not organized for the purpose of
teaching the farmer in crop rails
ing, but more so to instruct him
in crop marketing. Other sub
jects and questions to which we
would like to give special mention
but on account of space, can not
do so, were laid bare before the
eyes of his hearers.
Before closing his lecture in the
evening, he announced that i'm
mediately after closing of his lee
ture lodge of the Farmers I'm
ion would be organized and every
one entitled to membership was
cordially invited to remain and
join this worthy band of people
who are only asking and contend
ing for that which is honestly and
justly theirs. With these remarks
he closed his address, following
which was organized what is soon
to be the largest and strongest To-
cal union in Woodruff county, to
be known as McCrory Union.
Officers of the newly organized I'M
ion were elected as follows: S.
F. Watson, President; W. 0.
Scales, Vice President: Walter
w. Raney, Secretary and Treasur-
or
