OUNCE TREES
HEAVY YIELD

The long drought was not sufficient
to keep down the yield of fruit and
vegetables in some of the well-kept
aud prolific gardens Of the borough OF
Danville.
In the matter of ounces Thomas
Gill on street carries off the palm.
One of the trees hung bending full of
ounces and was much admired during
the latter days OF summer. The other
day the fruit was gathered aud the
single tree was found to produce fifty
two dozen ounces.
PROLIFIC PUMPKIN VINE.
When it comes to pump >ns Charles
Shultz. Cherry street, can evidently
discount anything in that line. A
single vine on his lot produced ten
pumpkins ranging in weight from
eighty pounds to % pounds. In addi-
tion the vine contained pumpkin
weighing eight pounds. which rela-
lively was too small to be classed
with the others. The ten largest
pumpkins weighed respectively so, "a,
56. 80, 4S. 40, &c. rs. 26 and 90 pounds.
The total weight, including the small
eight pound pumpkin, was 1853 pounds.

VOTERS MUST REGISTER AGAIN.
All the Voters In the State Must Be Reg.
istered Anew During the
Present Year.

Attorney General Lyon has given the
| official opinion to the effect that all
registr, tion in the several counties as
instructions for their guidance, but of
course the opinion of neither the attor-
ney general nor the governor settles
the matter and there are others who
hold that under the act of 1908 re-reg-
istration is not necessary and that all
that is contemplated IN the act of 1908
is the-enrollment of the electors, in
order to discard from the registration
lists the names of those who have died
or moved out of the State or become
disqualified.
Unfortunately the constitution and
the statutes of the State do not distin-
guish very clearly between rcgistra-
tions and enrolment and the two terms
are used in the constitution and acts in
such an interchangeable way at times
as to make it confusing, but there is a
fundamental difference between the
meaning of the two terms and common
sense would seem to Indicate that it is
useless for an eector who is registered
and who is still qualified to vote under
the constitution to be put to the trouble
of simply changing his old registration
certificate. The constitution provides
for a re-enrolment of the electors
every ten years from 1908 and this be-
ing the tenth year, an act was passed
at the 1908 session to comply with this
constitutional provision but in this act
the two terms, enrolment and regis
tration, were again not used discrimi-
natingly, and hence the doubt which
now exists. However, the attorney
general is strict constructionist and
he holds that all electors must register
again this year. If any one cares
enough about it he can take the matter
to the courts and have it finally settled
by an authoritative Interpretation of
the law.

Last Friday.

the United States, died at $40 O'Clock
last Wednesday morning at his home,
"Westland," in this place where he
had lived since his retirement as the
nations chief executive, almost twelve
years ago. When death came, which
was suddenly, there were in the death
chamber Mrs. Cleveland, DR.. Joseph
ID. Bryant, DR.. George r. Lockwood
and DR.. John M. Carnochan.
OFFICIAL STATEMENT.
An official statement was given out
and signed by the three physicians,
gazing heart trouble, superinduced by
stomach and kidney ailments of long
sanding, as the cause of his death.
The statement says: "Mr. Cleveland
for many years had suffered from long
standing organic disease of the heart
and kidneys. Heart failure, complica-
ted with pulmonary thrombosis and
oedema, was the immediate cause of
his death.
While Mr. Cleveland had been in poor
health for the past two years and had
lost hundred pounds in weight his
death came unexpectedly. Not one of
his four children were at home, being
at the Cleveland summer home, at
Tamworth, N. H., under the care of
Mrs. Perrine, Mrs. Cleveland's mother.
Although confined to his room continu-
ously after his return from Lakewood,
it was not until yesterday that Mr..
Cleveland's condition aroused uneasi-
ness on the part of Mrs. Cleveland.
Undoubtedly affected by the heat, Mr..
Cleveland showed signs of failure. He
became worse during the night and
Mrs. Cleveland was called to the bed
side of her husband. The distinguish
ed patient sank into unconsciousness
from which he recovered at times only
to suffhr a relapse. This continued
throughout the night and early morn
ing. The last time he became uncon-
scious was about two hours before he
died. Death was peaceful. Just be-
fore he died Mr. Cleveland sought to
say something, but his words were in
audible.
The remains of the distinguished
statesman were laid to rest at Prince
ton, N. j., on Friday afternoon.

THE SUNNY SIDE.

altogether It's title was Keep on the

call line of it, nor would we recog-
nize the air were we to hear it. But
the admonition of the title fingers
in the mind.
Did it ever occur to you that
there's a sunny and shadowy side
of every street? Maybe you don't
like shadows. Maybe the shady side
of the street gives you cold feet and
shine gets it's work in on your diges-
tive machinery Then keep on the
sunny side and forget that close to
you the shadows lie. But if it suits
you better to take the shadowy side,
If you prefer to escape the glare of
the direct rays of the sun, why take
to that side of the street and in do
ing so and keeping still about the
brilliancy of the sunshine which you
do not like across the way, you'll for
get it and in effect you will still be
keeping on the sunny side.
1t is principle with thousand
and one different applications to the
lives of each of us, There's always
sunshine-some sort of sunshine

Deafness Cannot BE Cured

by local applications, as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear.
There is only one way to cure deaf
ness, and that is by constitutional
remedies. Deafness is caused by an
inflamed condition of the mucuous
lining of the Eustachian tube. When
this tube is inflamed you have a
rumbling sound 9or imperfect hear
ing, and when it is entirely closed,
deafness is the result, and unless the
Inflammation can be taken out and
this tube restored to its normal con-
dition, hearing will be destroyed
forever; nine cases out of ten are
caused by Catarrh, which is nothing
but an inflamed, condition of the

LAGGARD CHILDREN.

No other department of pedagogics
arouses more of the optimistic spirit
than the comparative recent ip-
quiry into the causes of deficiency in
children and the remedies which re-
duce the percentage OF laggards The
lectures of the Batavia System" in
Philadelphia have been of intense
interest. Undoubted experience shows
that in large numbers of defective
children the causes can be readily
ascertained and removed. The gain in
community is plain and the COM
fort added to families is subject of
profound rejoicing to those who feel
and think. The system is simplicity
itself. One teacher conducts the usu-
al Rotations, and another pays spe-
cial attention to, deficiencies.
Under the investigation .the fact
that deficiency is often a slight and
removable variation from the nor
NAL appears to be more widespread
than even observant physicians had
believed A little affair of the eyes or
ears, little need of practice in con-
tracing attention, little hitch in di-
gestiye processes is often enough to
interfere with study and progress,
Public school systems, most privat e
school methods and common family
training have heretofore considered
children in the mass and condemned
all failure to keep up as involving
either moral turpitude or mental
weakness. Reiteraton of reproof
makes matters worse and the end is
the production of individuals chron-
icalry impotent for higher attain
ments.
There is a wealth of hopefulness in
this study of the variant children.
Every human being added to the
company of the competent and the
happy is benefit to communal pow
er and a solace TO family life. What
ever science can ascertain of posi-
bilities in the betterment of the de-
fcient helps the average not only
through the improvement of that
special class but by throwing light
on the needs of all children, normal
and defective.--Phifade Ledger
