Bacteria are tiny plants, each com
posed of a single cell. These cells
are of various shapes and sizes. Some
are round, some long and some shaped
like corkscrew. Some are found
singly and some in groups. Some
cannot move at all, some move by
twisting themselves about, and still
others have long, tail-like fagella by
which they move themselves along.
Bacteria are made up of clear.
jellylike material called protoplasm

Bacteria. like higher plants, have
definite requirements for growth. One
of the most important of these Is mois-
ture. Drying will not kill bacteria. but
it will stop their multiplication. An
other essential to bacterial growth is
warmth. Cold, like dryness. will not
kill them, but 1t will stop them from
multiplying. This is the reason that

dependent on the air for their supply
One of these is the kind that causes
meat and vegetables to decay. This is
why canned fruit ard vegetables do
not spoil. The bacteria have been
killed and the oxygen driven off by
heating. The few germs that do get in

HOW WOODS STOOD.

Well, anyway, Congressman Woods
of the Tenth has considerable back
for Speaker Cannon tho the republi-
can legislators of his district sent him
a telegram to vote against Cannon. 1t
takes nerve to do things like that. But
Woods did the right thing. He had to
vote either with the republicans or the
democrats and he was dead sure that
he was a republican. But when it came
to vote on amending the rules Woods
voted against the Cannon idea.

WHERE'S THE HIRED MAN.

TOcheyedan Press.
This is the time of year when the
farmer is looking high and low and
Offering all kinds of inducements for
hired men. Altho wages and treatment
are several per cent better than they
were in times of yore, yet farm help
| is scarce and the question is where
are they? They have deserted the farm
for the high stool in the accounting
departments in the cities, selling in
surance, and all kinds of occupations
where the remuneration is not large,
where their health is poor, and where
they could work a lifetime without
saving a penny. Why is it SO? Many
a man in the cities could be on a farm,
| in good health, saving money and liv-
ing happy and healthful life, with a
good opportunity of having a farm of
his own and money in the bank some
day. yet he will stick to the city grind
ing his life away for nothing. Why is
it thus?

to vacate the building within thirty

Strangely Affected Trout.

Last Friday Clark Mills caught
three trout in Foundry run, which
empties into Catawissa creek at the
paper mill says the NezOs Item.
The fish were from 7 to 9 inches in
length, strong and vigorous. When
he cleaned them he noticed that
the bladders were of abnormal size,
almost completely filing the inside
of the fish. Upon attempting to
burst them they resisted pressure
and an examination showed them
filled with lively little white worms
about three-fourths of an inch in
length and the thickness of hair.
He placed lot of them in a bottle
of water and will preserve them for
development.
This is a strange freak, one which
Editor Randall has not met before
in over 40 years of trout fishing.
The matter has been referred to
the State Fishery Commission for
solution.

After waiting for the first burst
of indigestion to subside, admirers
of the late Senator Mathew Quay
of Pennsylvania have renewed ac-
tion in the Legislature authorizing
setting UP his statue in the new
capitol building. Protests are be-

called to the record of the man.
On the other hand it is being point
ed out, ironically, that such cap
itol building can be most httingly
furnished by the statue Of precisely
the sort of man Quay was. 1t is
proposed that the statue monument,
if erected bear an inscription, clos

Mothers Day" To Be Widely OBJ
served.

Mothers Day." the second
Sunday in May, will be observed
more widely than ever this year.
Miss Anna Jarvis, Of Philadelphia,
originated its observance three
years ago. She thought it would
he beautiful tribute to all mothers,
the dead as well as the living, if
their children would unite, on one
day in the year, in wearing a SIM
pie white flower in evidence of
filial honor and love. Miss Jarvis
chose the white carnation as the
flower, its color typifying purity;
its form beauty; its fragrance, love;
its wide field of growth, charity;
its lasting qualities. faithfulness-
all virtues OF true motherhood.
In several American cities the
Mayors i'll past years have issued
special proclamations recommend
ing the general celebration of the
day, wlch has also been marked
by the singing of mothers hymns
in the home and by special services
and distribution of white flowers in
the Sunday Schools and the
churches.
Gov. Vessey, of South Dakota,
has officially ordered the observ-
ance of the day in that State this
year. In his proclamation he says
in part:
Recognizing the Importance of
the home as the fountain-head of
society, and realizing that no
craftsmanship or legislation can
save us if our homes become abodes
of ignorance and degradation, l.
r. S. Vessey, Governor of the
State of South Dakota, hereby set
apart and designate the second
Sabbath i'll our national memorial
month of May as Mothers Day, in
grateful and loving remembrance
OF the one who, in our infancy
watched over us with tenderest
care, in our youth gently guided
lis to higher ideals, the counsellor
OF our maturer years.
The fitness of the observance
of this day appeals to all social,
fraternal, civil, military and relig-
ious organizations alike; to him
who has missed life's crowning Joy,
the tender ministrations of a |
mothers love, no less than to the
one who has derived the elements |
of noble character from the ma
ternal care bestowed in childhood. |
Probably never before was move
ment inaugurated which in such a
short time attained national recog-
nition."

Senator Crow To Be Republican Candidate
For Auditor. General and Senator Stober
for Treasurer.

At a conference of political lead
ers held in the Office of United States
Senator Penrose in Philadelphia on
Sunday, it is said that State Sena-
tor William F, Crow, of Fayette
county, was selected for auditor
general and Jeremiah A. Stober of
Lancaster county for State Treas

The successor to Justice Mitchell
~ the Supreme Court Bench, as
. as could be learned, was not
ided upon.
While no official announcement
the selection of either Crow or
: ,ber was made, it was practically
omitted that these two men would
be the nominees for the respective
Offices.
