IT'S SWIMMING TIME.

And the little birds are building.
And the buttercups and sunbeams
Far and wide the fields are gliding.
And the hollows every morning
With a pearly mist are trimming.
Then feel a constant yearnins
To go swimming.
When the tree toads pipe their music.
In the green and marshy places.
And the bumble-becs are booming.
And the spiders spread their laces.
And the boys their willow whistles
After school are busy trimming.
Then the water calls and calls mo

Shelving beaches strewn with pebbles.
Rippled reaches bright and sunny.
Amber pools. and crystal currents.
Deep and clear and smooth as honey
Bubbles on the shadows dancing.
Silver foam the eddies trimming,
Brook and river then invite you
To 60 swimming.

A Flood of Bills.

The Legislature sent to the Gov
ernor 7eS bills and 81 resolutions
as the product of its labors OIL about
forty working days. OF course the
session covered more than forty
days, but the working time, except
as relates to committees, did not.
Nearly every measure sent to the
Governor was passed in violation
of the Constitution, a fact which
nobody can disprove. But that is a
matter of no Importance, for in
Pennsylvania the Constitution has
been dead letter for the last thirty
years. Bills were passed at "high
pressure" IN order that they might
be 1ammed through without giving
members an opportunity to study
them and protest against their
enactment, or to ascertain whether
or not any snakes were hidden i'll
them.
With the exception of the char
liable and penal appropriations,
some of which could have teen
dispensed with, many of these new
laws were unnecessary. Among
legislators there is a passion for
making laws, and it has been we'll
developed i'll Pennsylvania. 1t is
better to pass wisely few neces-
Sary laws than to pass unwisely
many Jhat are not necessary. That
does not appeal to the average leg
islative body, however, and the
more bills it passes the more tits
praised for working body and
business session. 1t will
always be SO. The average human
being loves to pass laws for the
government OF somebody else.

Crops to the Front.
The High Prices Will Encourage Farmers 10
Plant More.

The high prices of all cereals will
encourage farmers to plant or seed
more wheat, oats, corn and barley
than ever before, and while the
season is backward, the ground has
been in such condition due to an
open winter, that it could be
ploughed and made ready for seed.
ing, and now favorable weather
has arrived the entire agricultural
area is more or less occupied with
efforts to plant.
The Wall Street Journal says
advices from most of the spring
wheat territory in the northwest
show that there are good prospects
of completing a large part of the
seeding by May. The grain crops
of Canada alone will this year fall
little short of 2o,ooo, 900 acres.
Another feature of the crop out
look at this stage is the gradual
Improvement of conditions in the
southwest. The dry area in Texas
is steadily being narrowed and the
degree of drought reduced. Seed
ing and planting have not general
ly awaited rains, but were done in
anticipation of the requisite moist
ure.
Another feature of the farm op-
erations at this date is the enlarged
provision made for oats, already
sown over large portion of the
winter wheat territory. Last year
the country had an area of 81, 344,-
900 acres. Corn acreage is likewise
certain to be greatly enlarged. The
combined area of oats and corn
last year was I34.I32, 900 acres in
the United States. The gradual
increase in the area devoted to
these two crops is indicated in the
United States.

Governor Wants No Mistakes.
He Will Know All About Each Appropriation
That Ne Approves.

According to the almanac | am
given thirty days after the legisla-
ture adjourns to consider the bills
il passes and leaves with me within
ten days prior to adjournment. but
as matter ct Ia It after the work
of tabulating these bills and class
flying them, and going over them
carefully is done, l really have but
fifteen days" So spoke Governor
Stuart sitting in his workshop at
the capitol, knowing that he had
ia bills to consider, which when
placed on heap made a volume
over four feet III thickness. And
that is what the governor will have
to tackle in very short time.
Being man of business, he relies
solely upon himself to see that
there are no mistakes made and
before he approves an appropria-
tion he will know all about 1t.
Chairman James + Woodward,
of the house appropriations COM
mittee, returned to Harrisburg
from Washington to finish up the
work of tabulating the appropria-
ton bills for the governor Out
side of this tabulation Executive
Clerk Lynch will also arrange
table of appropriation bills, and
these will be compared with the
original bills by the governor, so
that a mis- AXE is safeguarded
against at three p,ints. Chairman
Woodward is not at all pleased with
he way the senate raised the APP
preparation bills after they were
passed by the house, and after his
committee had given them the most
careful considerations. Before
leaving with Secretary Lukens Mr..
Woodward filed the expense ac-
count of the appropriations com
mittee, which was given $4,000
with which to work.

State Free OF Cattle Plague.
End OF Successful Fight by State and National
Authorities.

Announcement that the quaran-
tine restrictions had been lifted by
bo'h the United States and Penn.
sylvania authorities from all parts
of this State for foot and mouth
disease brings to an end what cat
tie men and state officials consider
to have been the best campaigns
ever waged against the cattle
plague.
1t has cost the State and Nation
al government possibly $500, 900 to
eradicate the disease, but the histo-
ry of the plague shows that never
before in so short time has its
spread been stopped. The disease
was traced to Buffalo and eight
shipments from that city caused it
to spread into twenty Counties, in
cluding most of those in the south
eastern part of the State, and a
number on the Susquehanna valley.
Because Of it the cattle yards of
Philadelphia and Lancaster were
placed under restrictions and ship
menls virtually ceased for a time
The first case was noted on No
vember 6 in Mon.Cur county, and
within two weeks the whole State
was i'll federal quarantine. So Wig
orous was this action OF State Vet
erinarian Pearson and his staff, act
ing in conjunction with the nation
al authorities, however, that 1000
head of cattle OF various kinds were
found to be suffering from the dis
ease and slaughtered before the
middle of December.
Then, when the disease had been
checked and no new cases found
for some time, two were discovered
to have been suppressed i'll Lancas-
ter county, and it was only by the
hardest work on the part of State
authorities that the Federal officials
would modify the quarantine.
The State is now free Of restric-
tions because of the disease, and
only the farms where diseased cat
tie were killed and new ones
brought are under observation.
This will last but few weeks long
er.

Rural Mallbox Order.

Rural mail carriers, thrusting
their arms through spoke wheels,
climbing steep hills and crossing
dangerous ravines in order to col.
lect the mails from the boxes along
their routes, often jeopardizing
their lives, is discontenanced in an
order issued by the Postoffice De-
pa:tment.
1t has been decreed that rural
letter boxes perched high upon the
hillsides, others almost on the
ground, and still others in similar
inaccessible places, must be remov-
ed and relocated in more convent
lent places.
This will be done to expedite the
collection and delivery of rural
mail, and at the same time, enable
carriers to cover their routes with
greater celebrity. Postmasters have
been directed to take census of all
inaccessible rural mail boxes with
a view to instituting the proposed
change.
