OPPORTUNITY FOR PATRIOTISM
Ratification of that same senate
! amendment No. 16 has developed an
other opportunity for patriotism, which
will probably be practiced without the
consent of the patriots. When the peo-
pie limited legislative attache expenses
| to $500 a day for either house, they
! cooked up mess of trouble for the
! democratic minorities.
When the last legislature grabbed off
! a little more than $4,000 day for
! attache expenses, they permitted the.
few democrats to participate in the
! fruits of the grab on pro rata basis
| TO make them share the odium of the
steal The $500 day limit for either
house pulls the per capita allowance
down to. $3.50 a day for each senator
| and 1925 a day for each assemblyman.
The average agriculturist would
be inclined to think those sums ade-
ouate for the needs OF the legislature,
! and go they are, but they will fall far
short of meeting the demands for pie
made on the republican majority, and
to meet that demand in part the ma
| jority will help itself to the major por-
ton of the $237 a day which would fall
| to the democrats on a per capita dis
| tribution.
PIE PROGRAM
The tentative program as now framed
provides for allowing the minority in
| each house caucus clerk, sergeant at
arms or door keeper and stenog-
rapher or two at gross expense of
| $40 or $50 day and splitting up the
balance among the members of the ma
/ jority.

House Flies Dang erous Pests

House Flies Dang erous Pests
Now that the fly season is approa CHI
ing the Washington authorities are
preparing to wage war on this disease
germ-carryiDg insect. Housewives are
being instructed to observe certain
rules which are calculated to guard
against typhoid and intestinal bacteria
as transmitted by files.
1t is proposed to put an end to the
displaying of meats and provisions In
markets and stores unless properly
screened. Thu district commissioners,
who are responsible for the govern.
ment of Washington, have been asked
by the local health officer to formulate
regulations to prevent the sale OF
meats which have been exposed to
attack by files. In the same way it is
proposed to compel owners Of stables to
maintain water and fly-proof bins. In
past summer seasons Washington has
had many cases OF typhoid fever and
il is believed that much OF the sick
ness has been due to the carrying OF
disease germs by flies.

The John ii. Sparks Shows

A rafting good show with a big
line up of splendid acts and fea-
lures can be anticipated after cad
ing what the papers have to say
about the Sparks Shows where
ever it has exhibited. Its recent
tour through the state of Pennsyl-
vania was an ovation. The Elk
County Democrat said that it was
the best show that ever visited
Rldgway, and the Cambria TIL
bune remarked that every claim
was more than made good. The Oil
City Derrick printed nearly col
umn of praise, and as this is one
of the really influential papers OF
the state it a means good deal. Lis
ten to il. "The Sparks" popularity
has been established by carrying
out each and every promise, and
then some. The show contains
every feature of the most prefer
tious exhibitions in the country,
and of better quality, and they
are presented in such way that
they can be enjoyed and apprecia'
ted TO the fullest. Of all the shows
that have visited Oil City, this is
certainly the peoples favorite, and
the packed tents of yesterday is a
deserved tribute to The energetic
genius who originated and develo-
ped this splendid exhibition"
