Encouraging
RESPONSES

Secretary Vincent of the committee
of arrangements is beginning to re-
oeive letters from the lodges in thu
district in reply to the invitations
sent out. The first communications re-
ceived are encouraging in the extreme
revealing degree OF enthusiasm that
augurs we'll for the success of the Dad
Fellows anniversary.
A letter received from Berwick
Lodge No. 246, l. o. o. f., Tuesday
stated that that lodge would be repre-
sented in Danville Oh the anniversary
by several hundred members 1t will
be accompanied by the Berwick Cornet
band of forty-one pieces.
The latest information relative to
the anniversary from WilIiamsport is
to the effect that at least one thousand
Odd Fellows Of that city will be in
Danville on April 27. They will come
in special train accompanied by
Repasz band.
The Odd Fellows of Montgomery
have notified the committee that a
good sized delegation will be present
from that place accompanied by a
band. Northumberla will send a
contingent of several hundred Odd Eel
lows accompani ed by the Northumber-
land band, Sunbury will also be we'll
represented and will probably be ac-
compsned with Sunbury band
That the towns up the river will
each send in large contingent of Odd
Fellows seems to be a foTegone concIu-
sion. In order to facilitate the journey
to and from Danville an effort has been
set on foot to secure the running of 3
special train over the D. L. g. w.

TERM EXPIRES

County Superintendent o. W. Derr
was in this city on business connected
with the rural schools OF the county,
yesterday. The seven months term has
now expired and all the schools except

lost are now closed.
Including the high school in Derry
township there are now forty eight
rural schools in Montour county Ou-
ly about one third of the instructors
teach on provisional certificates and
the number each year is expected to
grow less. AS a rule, Superintendent
Derr states, she rural teachers are CON
scieutiously striving to attain to
higher standard Of qualification. On
der such conditions the quality of TIE
work done in the schools must be sat
isiac tory.

Dunville, who has been the efficient
pastor of Jamison City charge of the

severed by the conference Monday.
This action came about as the result
OF Mr.. Dunville's declining to observe
the rule of the church which is that
its-ministers refrain wholly from the
use of tobacco. When the matter was
brought up, there was a heated discus
sion, ending in the request as stated.
The action has created considerable

Congress and the Supply Bills

Congress has but six working days left before it comes to an end, and several of the big supply bills are pending. The reports of conference committees are needed in order to compromise the differences between the two houses. The extravagant in- creases in the appropriation bills brought out a protest from Oscar Underwood on Monday He told the republicans very plainly that the na- tional treasury is in precarious con- dition-that it is, in fact, on the verge of a bond issue The deficit on July 1 may go to the sum of $150, ,000, 900. This would be a deficit rolled up in Il single year. But this Congress goes right along expending money freely, expecting the next Congress to find new sources of revenue. The want of economy may indeed make an income tax a necessity.
 Aside from the passage of the an nual appropriation bills Congress has no time to fight out the secret service matter or the Tennessee merger or any other issue with an expiring ad- ministration Some speculation and a fiery speech or two may occur over these subjects, but there will be no action on the part of Congress. All these subjects will go out with the Congress itself, and the people as d rule will rejoice in the riddance.
