ty superintendent expires this spring.
On Tuesday, May 9th, the school di-
rectors of the county will meet in con-
vention at the court house and select
viva vooe by majority of all direct
ors present one person of literary and
scientific requirements and of skill and
experience in the art of teaching as
county superintendent of the schools
for three years.
O. W. Derr, the present incumbent
of the office, was elected six years ago,
succeeding W. D. Steinbach, who was
county uperintendent for many years.
Mr.. Derr, who was reelected three
years ago, is candidate in the present
campaign and desires to be reelected
Fl. e. Cotner, son of former County
Treasurer George P. Cotner, of Derry
township, is also a candidate for the
county superintendency He is one of
the young teachers of the county and
is well-known.
AS the time between the present and
the date of the school directors con-
vention is becoming short it is hardly
probable that any additional candid
ates will enter the race.

4 Good One from Milton.

The following is pretty good one
from the Milton Standard
"Nct long since wellknown resi-
dent received a letter from a mail
order liquor house asking him to send
the names OF twenty-five or thirty
moderate drinkers in the town. As a
joke he sat down and wrote the names
of about two dozen pronounced Pro-
hibitionists and church people and en-
closed them in the stamped and ad-
dressed envelope that had been sent
with the request. The matter had al
most been forgotten. when he received
a letter the other day enclosing check
for nineteen dollars from the firm. He
didn't understand what it meant and
wrote to them for an explanation.
They replied that it was a commission
on the sales they had made to the per-
sons whose names he furnished them. ="

BOROUGH SETTLES
With THE STATE

On Saturday morning the borough
made payment of S2132. 81 to the
State, the same being Danville's share
of the cost of reconstructing North
Mill street under the act of May Il,
1905. The money was forwarded dif5bt
to the State treasurer.
North Mill street as reconstructed
under the act, it will be recalled, con-
sisted of two sections. One section ex-
tending from Centre street to the steam
Touring mill, 1900 feet in length, was
paved and the remaining section, ex-
tending from the Touring mill to
short distance north of the P. & R.
railway crossing, Sl3 feet in length,
was macadamized,
The State under the act could recon-
struct space only twenty feet in
width. Under agreement between the
State and the borough the former
was to defray three-fourths and the
latter one.fourth of the total expense
The certification sent here by State
Highway Commissioner Joseph W
Hunter shows that the total cost of
the 1900 feet of paving as constructed
by the State was So, 1882. Danville's
share under the agreement being Ia
1918. The total cost of the S13 feet
of macadam was 50, S11.23. Danville's
share being $702 81.
North Mill street is thirty-two feet
in width. Consequently there remain
ed strip twelve feet in width over
and above the twenty feet that the
State reconstructed. For the recon-
structiOn of this 12-foot strip the bur-
ough entered into a separate contract
with d. j. Rogers to whom the State
had awarded the contract for the paw
ing and macadamizing on North Mill
street. The cost of recunstructing the
strip twelve feet wide was approxiate-
ly $4,000. This along with some extras
and the sum paid the State as one
fourth of the cost of the work don9
under the act brings the total amount
paid out by the borough for it's share
in the improvements ON North Mill
street up to nearly $4,000

COLES REPORT
FOR APRIL

Welcome to the gentle spring time,
when all nature is upspringing and
the little birds are singing.
April, as a rule, is a showery month
but this is a maximum with the mois-
ture and vapors of the departing win
ter. Following many of the storms
there will be d change to cooler wealth
er, with snow squalls and frost over
the central and northern sections of
the country. The storm period, central
the 3lst of March, will reach its cul-
mination during the first few days of
April. On or about the sth regular
Vulcan storm period will be due, and
heavy thunder storms will be in order.
The heaviest storms are likely to oo-
cur during the last half of the month,
especially on or about the 20 and 30,
Full moon occurs on the 10th and
Easter Sunday is ON the 10Th. throw
ing it quite late this year; there is no
doubt but that a cold spell and unsea-
sonable weather will occur about this
time, as there is generally change to
cooler after the Full Moon.
The month begins with Moon in
Aries, the house of Mars. with Saturn
a near neighbor, and there will be
twenty-one "high-hood" days and
nine Glow -ebb" days, therefore, from
the present outlook. the month will be
a very good one from busineSs stand
point: there will be noticeable i'm
provement in the majority of indust
ries, and many fortunate results from
speculation. The markets will be very
active, but be careful and do not get
overbalanced. The sun being in sign
Aries is a good induoement for lambs
TO bite. From about the 9th to the 10Th
there are uncertain and threatening
times, with prices vaciliating.
Venus, the bright shining star in
the golden west, will present a beauti
full sight during the April evenings to
those who are fortunate enough to be
where the clouds do not obstruct their
vision. The planet Jupiter will also
shine forth with much brightness in
the west.
Friday, the 10th, and Saturday, the
18th, will be two very good days for
wedding and destroying all noxious
growth
Thursday, the end Wednesday. the
18th, and Monday, the 27th, will be
very good dayssto SOW or plant grain
seed, grass seed, all seed where quick,
rapid growth is desired.
Tuesday the 7th will be an excellent
day to plant flower seeds, or TO trans
plant vegetable plants, vines, rose
bushes, berry bushes, etc,
Vegetation OF any kind planted at
the right time needs but little cultiva-
tion only when the vital forces are at
"high flood.

Will SOW GRASS
Seed ON THE PARK

Now that we have passed from March
into April and the grass is beglnn ny
to spring up on the lawns about town
it would seem to be about time 10 r.
sumo work on the public park, which
in its unfinished state presents a some
what neglected and desolate appear
ance.
Although practically completed as
far as grading extends there is yet n
great deal of work to be done on the
park mostly in the way of laying out
the grounds, and the arranging of
trees, shrubbery and flower beds
The Petriken cemetery legally aband-
oned last fall, is not wholly completed
and ready to be thrown into the park
In addition a small portion of the
large tract still remains to be graded
and will require considerable amount
of filling up.
The committee has planned to SOW
grass seed on the park and this branch
of the work will be done at the proper
season. The general plan also calls for
some additional trees as we'll as sever
al flower beds. One of the latter will
be placed in the triangle embraced be-
tween the gravel walks leading from
the site of the soldiers monument to
the pavement on each side of Upper
Mulberry street
The hitch that has occurred in the
erection of the soldiers monument, it
is feared, may have the effect of delay
ing the completion Of the park. 1t was
learned, too, from the committee yes
terday, that all tho money subscribed
and paid in to the park fund has been
used up in carrying the work to its
present stage and that nothing more
can be done on the park until more
funds are received. From the very first
it was made plain that the borough
could furnish none of the money re-
quired to establish the park. The
money needed to put on the finishing
touches therefore, like that required
to pay for grading. &C., will have to
be donated by the pbulic.
Probably some action will be taken
on the matter at the meeting of coun-
Gil tonight. 1t would be unfortunate
if any delay were to occCr that would
hold back Improvements. The park
will not only be beauty spot but it
will also constitute recreation ground
very much needed in Danville and the
public have been looking hopefully for
ward to its completion at the very
earliest day.

1t is fact much commented on that
there are more improvements being
made by property owners in Danyille

There is scarcely street on which one
or more dwellings are not being re-
modelled and on which new verandas
are not being built. In addition, the
usual number of minor improvements
are on foot, such as painting and pap
er hanging.
There is the usual brisk demand for
painters and paper hangers and these
along with carpenters are rushed at
present.

THE ARRIVAL
OF KITTY

A play that causes the managers of
theatres to ask for early return dates
must have something of more than
passing interest TO commend it, but
that has been the record 1.-The Arrival
Of Kitty" has attained this season.
The piece is from the pen of Norman
Lee Swartout, a clever writer of COM
edy, and is produced by Q. S. Will
Jams, we'll known theatrical mana
ger. In every city in which 1.-The
Arrival of Kitty" has been seen thus
far this season, the managers of the
various theatres have requested that
an early return date be given them.
"It is the best comedy we have played
in years. is the universal comment.

opera house has secured this splendid
production at his theatre for tomorrow

Preparing for Summer Bathing


There is a movement on foot in she
Y. NJ. G. a. and among others in Dan
Vile to improve conditions on the riv
er as relate to bathing. The popular
idea seems to be to erect building on
the opposite side of the river to be
used as dressing room and as a gem
eral headquarters for the bathers.
The best place atupg the river for
bathing is on the opposite side just
below Blue hill. There the bottom is
the best and the water the cleanest.
Large numbers of people each summer
show their preference by bathing on
that spot.
1t is believed that the river at that
point could be still further improved
as bathing ground and those who
have the bathing house in view con-
template the building of wall and
the cleaning up of the bottom Of the
river also.
1t is believed that building suit
able for the purpose could be erected
if each person who baths on the spot
should contribute small sum The
number of bathers is so large that all
the money needed could be raised with
out anyone of the contributors feeling
it.
The project is an admirable one. 1t
is happy circumstance that the Y.
NJ O. A. is linked with the move
ment. Under such auspices the best of
management is assured and the pro-
ject can hardly fail.
