Pollution OF Streams.

Williamsport, like many other
cities. is interested in the purity OF
streams. The problem of purifying
sewerage so that it no longer trans
forms the rivers into which it is dis
charged into open sewers has been
so far solved that these streams need
no longer be disgusting to the senst
and dangerous to the health of peo.
pie living along them. The task OF
destroying the disease breeding bac-
terra in the sewage and once more
making the rivers available for
drinking water has not yet been
worked out on practical basis, but
Investigations recently made by the
United States Geological Survey in
cooperation with other authorities
show that this end too, may be at
tained at reasonable cost.
The essential agents of sewerage
publication are provided and en-
ployed by nature, and sewage puri-
tication as practiced today is but the
intensive application of these natur.
al processes. The improvements
that have been made have not in
volved the discovery or application
of new principles, but have merely
increased the working efficienc y
of the natural agencies.
1t has not yet been decided upon
whom the responsibility rests fol
keeping the rivers clean, but the
consensus of competent opinion re-
quires that if sewerage is discharged
within the region of important shell
fish beds or into stream which is
used as a source of domestic water
supply without liberation, such
sewerage shall at least be free from
disease bearing germs.-Gazett ant

Bills For Better Roads.

Bills For Better Roads.
In the Iowa legislature two bills
have been introduced in the interests
of better roads. One provides for the
doubling of the county road tax levy,
for the development Of the most i'm
portant roads which radiate from the
principal market town in each county.
The other bill places a tax Of $5 OF
all automobiles under thirty horse
power and $40 on thirty horsepower
and over, the proceeds to go into the
state good roads fund.
The motor car of the farmers Is In
fuencing good roads in another way.
The dealers are the most active good
roads advocates in the state. One OF
the principal motor dealers, for in
stance makes it business to deliver
a good roads lecture with every car.
The dealers have been farmers, and
they know the subject from the stand,
point of both Sides Farmers get the
idea at the very beginning, and they
never go behind the new doctrine

Pennsylvania is now well supplied
with holidays. With the recent ad-
dition of Columbus day, the legal
holidays in the Keystone state now
number 12, being New Years day,
Lincoln's Birthday, spring election
day, Washington's Birthday, Good
Friday, Memorial day, Independ-
ence day, Labor day, Columbus day,
fall election day, Thanksgiving and
Christmas. This gives the working
man and others the opportunity for
little relaxation on an average of
once month, and there seems no
reason why the people will not be
better off for it.
Fairs, theatrical shows, suppers
and cake sales are announced from
many churches on Sunday mornings,
with little suspicion on the part of
priest or people that such announce
ments are incongruous." he said.
"but we may lay :down one princi-
pie as universally applicable. Moth
ing must be done in the parish
house to endanger the morals of the
young or the weak. Whatever way
the parish may take to raise money
it must be an honest way.
Nothing which even remotely
borders on the realm of gambling or
OF betting must be tolerated.
cit will be sad commentary on
the churches methods if the young
man who finds himself broken and
disgraced on the race track or Stock
Exchange can say that he got his
first lessons in gambling in his boy
hood at the church fair. We DO not
wish to see big ecclesiastical build

National Master BaeheIder's Warnin,
tos1hnss Who Would Benefit by tn.
Grange Name In Enterprises Outside
the Grange.
In his department in the National
Grange Organ In recent number Ma
uonal Master Bachelor remarks that
as the grange is fast becoming an in
t1uential factor in social, educational
and financial affairs and also in legis-
lative affairs, both state and national
the fair name of our organization must
be protected. There is and will con-
tinue to be, he says, great effort made
by people with wares to sell and leg
islative matters to promote to in some
way use the word grange in the name
adopted to designate their business or
scheme in order to deceive the people
and draw support to the enterprises
by causing them to be known as
grange enterprises. There is absolute.
ly no justification for this unless the
grange or some committee appointed
by the grange has absolute authority
in the management.
To be more specific, We may say
that an agricultural fair should not be
known as a grange fair unless it's man.
agement is in the hands Of the grange
or has been specifically indorsed by
the grange having Jurisdiction. A
store should not be known as a grange
store unless conducted by the grange
or giving special rates to members of
the grange through grange authority.
paper has no real authority for the
use of the word grange in its title un-
less its policy is directed by the Or
ganization, but grange departments in
papers designed for other fields do not
come within this restriction, for they
simply contain grange news and do
not carry any policy or responsibility
of the grange The use of the word
grange in the title of banks without a
controlling interest in such banks be-
ing in the hands Of directors chosen
by the grange, whereby special priv
ileges would be secured to members
of the grange, Is an unauthorized and
grange.
Other instances might be cited In
which wrong impressions are convey
ed and the name of the grange placed
in great Jeopardy by the use Of its
name. In a word, the name of our or
ganiZation should be restricted by ac-
tion of the national grange to such
enterprises as at least have their poll
cies dictated and their affairs directed
| by members Of the grange in some Of
fetal capacity, for any other course in
case OF disaster would bring much
odium upon US, even though we have
no opportunity to prevent such disas-
ter. We do not undertake to say that
an agricultural fair, store, paper or
| bank using the name grange In its
| title should necessarily be financed by
the organization, but we do most en-
phaticafly assert that the use of the
name carries with it or should carry
with 1t the authority to dictate the pol
icy and direct its general management.

Turning to commerce, the special subject of the bureau of statistics, by which the Statistical Abstract is pre- pared and issued from year to year, the volume shows a rapid growth in imports and exports. especially dur ing the past quarter of a century; that manufacturers materials form an increasing proportion of these growing imports, and that manufac- lures from an increasing proportion of the growing exports. Crude ma terials for use in manufacturing, which formed but 12.76 per cent of the imports in 1870. 1874 per cent in 1880, and 21.62 per cent in 1890. were 325 per cent of the total in 1900 and S3.25 per cent in 1907; the aggregate value of these crude materials i'm ported having been in 1870. $56,000.0 900, in 1880, S132. .OOO,0 ,00O; in 1890. S171.- OO0. 900: in 1900, $276000,000. and in 1907, $477, 100000. The materials partly or wholly manufactured imported for further use in manufacturing, such as pig tin, pig iron. pig copper, lumber, wood pulp, etc, grouped under the title Manufactures for Further Use Tn MdnuIdCluTlBH, HdS SioNh run s56. 100000 in value in 1870 to $274,- 900, 900 in 1907. thus making the inn portations of all materials for manu- featuring purposes in 1907, s751.OO0,- 900. or 52 per cent of the total inn ports of that year.
 Of the export side manufactures form a steadily increasing share of the total, finished manufactures, which amounted to 14.96 per cent in 1870 of the total domestic exports, having formed 26.6S per cent of the greatly increased total of 1908; while manu- factures for further use in manufac- turing, which formed 3.66 per cent of the exports in 1870, were 14-23 per cent of those in 1908. The total val ue of manufactures ready for con- sumption exported in the fiscal year 1908 was $4S9,OOO,OOO. and of manu- factures for further use in manufac- turing, s261 ,OOO.OeO, making grand total of exports from the manufac- turing establishments of the United States in 1908 of 5O,O00.000. and forming 40.91- per cent of the. total exports of that year.

some remarkable and interesting facts. The salaries paid to superintendents and teachers in the public schools, for instance, which amounted to s3S.- 900. 900 in 1870, s56,00O,000 in 1880. and s92, 100000 in 1890, aggregated S13S. .O0O, ,000 in 1900, and S197, 100000 in 1907. The number of pupils enrolled in the public schools in 1907 was 16,- S20,000, and the average daily at tendance 11,S1S.OOO; while the stud ents in colleges, universities and schools of technology. who numbered 3S.000 in 1880. 56,000 in 1890 and 9S.000 in 1900, aggregated 130.000 in 1907.
 The wealth of the United States in 1850. according to the figures of the census office, was $7,000. .000. 900. speaking in round terms; in 1860, Is billions; in 1870, 30 billions; in 1880, 431. billions; in 1890. 65 billions; in 1900, SS1s billions; and in 1904, 107 billions; the average wealth per cap ita being, according to the same au- thority, in 1850, s30S; in 1860. s514; in 1870, s7S0: in 1880, sS50; in 1890, $1,039; in 1900. S1.l65; and in 1904, s1,310. The wealth production on farms, according to the estimate of the department of agriculture. was in 1897 s4.25O, 100000. and in 1907 s7,412,- 900, 900. Among the valuable articles produced on the farm are included wheat, of which the farm value in 1908 was set down at s617, 100000. a larger sum than in any previous year in the history of our production; cot ton, of which the value in 1906. the year of largest valuation. was s722,- OOO,O00; hay, in 1907. s744,000.0O0; and corn. in 1908, s1,616, ,O00, ,O0O-these be- ing in all cases values on the farm.
