WILL TRY FOR
Bic Convention

At recent meeting of the executive
board of the Danville fire department
il was decided to take decisive steps
toward the securing of the annual con-
vention of the Six-County Firemen 3
association for Danville next year.
Previous to the action of the fire
board each of the four companies OF
Danville had taken action singly en-
dorsing the movement to bring the big
fire fighters gathering to this city.
The Six-County association is one of
the largest and most influential of the
sub-organizations in the State and in
cludes Montour. Columbia, Northum-
berland, Luzerne, Lackawanna and
Schuylkill counties. The annual con-
ventions are held in June and cover
three days, bringing together thou
sands of firemen from all over this sec
titon. The convention this year is to
be held in Hazleton.
At the meeting of the fire board,
when the above action was taken, COM
mittees were appointed to canvas the
town to secure subscriptions for de-
fraying the expenses of the conven-
tion. The members will call upon the
people during the first part of next
week. No money will be asked for, but
only pledges of what the contributors
are willing to give, so that some idea
may be gathered whether or not it
will be wise to 60 ahead with the
preparations for securing the meeting
here.
There is always big fight to secure
the convention, and il the subscrip-
tion committees meet with success in
their canvas, it is the intention of
Danville's four companies to go to
Hazleton in June with bands and drum
corps and wrest the convention fr ON
all rivals.

trees, talking meanwhile on the sub
Ject OF pruning aud answering numer-
Gus questions that were brought up by

FEEDING STUFF
LAW ENFORCED

The feeding stuff law of, Pennsyl-
vania, which was placed upon the
statue books by the last session of the
legislature, is being vigorously enforc-
ed in all parts of the State, by the de-
partment of agriculture through the
division of feeding stuffs control.
At the present time the department
has sampling agents who are visiting
feed dealers throughout the State, and
securing samples which are forwarded
to +. d. Fuller, chief chemist of the
department. of agriculture, for analy-
sis. During the past six months, the
chemist has found many brands of
feed, particularly those manufactured
in the western States, largely adulter-
ated with rice hulls, which are in
furious to the health of domestic ami
mails, according to experiments carried
on in the southern States. These rice
hulls are usually found in molasses
feeds, of which there has been large
sale. The results of the chemical and
microscopical examinations are report
ed to the secretary of agriculture, who
orders prosecutions to be brought
against those who are violating the
law. G, G. Hutchison, general agent
of the department of agriculture, is in
immediate charge of the prosecution.
and as result of numerous convic
tions that have been secured, several
hundred dollars in fines and analysis
fees have been covered into the State
treasury since August / 1907.

QUOT PITCHERS PAY
FRATERNAL VISIT

A half dozen members of the Sun

to the Danville quoit club Tuesday,
spending several hours pitching quoits
with the Danville votaries of the old

AS implied, the Danville Quot club
is not the only organization of tits
kind, maintaining comfortable quart
ers, warmed and lighted, where the
game goes on, during the winter as
well as summer, and at night as we'll
as during the day time. The Sunbury
quot club is probably as large as the
club in our town and comprises among
its members many acknowledged ex-
perts.
The Danville quoit club was organ
lied last fall a year ago with Jesse
Shannon president; Ira Everhart, vice
president; H. r. Moore, secretary W.
II. zimmerman, treasurer, and John
Brugler, w. Il. Kase and Michael Con-
ley, trustees. The new club leased a
hall and went into things on a large
scale. The excellent standing of the
club today justifes the departure made.
The membership numbers forty, the
tull limit, in addition to which there
is long waiting list. The club af-
fords healthtul and harmless recres-
tion to large number of people and
the sound of the quoits may be heard
every day OF the week except Sunday
often continuing until ten O'Clock at
night. On the list of members are
merchants, retired gentlemen, and
professional men including ministers
