ORDERLY TIMES

The next regular term of court will
not take place until the third Monday
in October. The last term of court took
place in June. Notwithstanding the
long interval, if present conditions
may be taken as a criterion, there will
be only a limited amount of business
on hand at the next term. 1t has prob
ably never occurred before in a period
of corresponding length that things
have been so orderly and uneventful
throughout the county. Very rarely,
indeed, have our justices been called
upon to perform their legal functions,
and the number of cases thus far re-
turned are small. Unless things take
a sudden change between the present
and opening of court the next grand
jury will not be detained many days.
A session of argument court will be
held Saturday, September. 10th.

THE ESPERANTISTS.

W. V. Oglesby, Esq, and Curtis
Lore, delegates, who attended the
sixth International Congress of Esper-
artists at Washington, d. G. last week
are greatly impressed not only with
the importance of the world language
and the practical uses to which it can
be applied but also with the hold that
it mas upon tie nations of the civiliz-
ed world
In the congress We're la persons, em-
bracing % nationalities. Fifteen gov
ernments were officially represented,
among them being the United States,
Russia, Spain, Brazil, Germany and
China. Several countries of South
America were represented unotficially.
All the countries of Europe were rep
resented in the same way. The con
gress was made up of all classes, rich
and poor, professional men, mechanics
and farmers.
All the business of the congress was
conducted in Esperanto. Not only
were all the widely scattered nations
equally at home in the new tongue,
but there was nothing in the language
as spoken, no popularity of accent, TO
betray the nationality of the person
on the floor.
1t was brought out during the pro-
ceeding that Esperanto is being taught
i'll the public schools of France and
England. In Maryland it is being en-
braced in the curriculum of the Normal
schools. In that state it may even be
taught in the public schools at the
option of the local authorities.

INVESTIGATING
ORCHARD SOILS

H. J. Wilder of the Department of
Agriculture, Washington, d. g., has
been in this vicinity during week
past conducting an Investigation as to
the adaptation of Pennsylvania soils to
orcharding. That the investigation
may be attended with the best results
the United States Department of Agri-
culture this year is working in CO.
operation with the State Experiment
station.
Mr.. Wilder was interviewed at the
Montour house last evening, when
some very interesting facts were learn
ed concerning the different varieties
of soil and the opportunities that pre-
sent themselves to fruit growers of
this and neighboring counties. Mr..
Wilder, who has been connected with
the United States Agricultural Depart
ment for nine years is a soil expert.
| With Danville as a center he drives
| over the country within a radius Of
several miles investigating the soil
conditions for the purpose of ascer-
tanning the relative merits of the diff
ferent kinds of soils for apple grow
ing. 1t has already been ascertained
! that some soils are much better adapt
ed to orcharding than others. This
is especially true in the growing of
apples.
The fruit industry has been much
better developed in the southern and
central parts of Pennsylvania than in
other parts 1t is the object of the de-
partment to determine whether fruit
growing might not be much extended
J with profit in other sections of the
| State.
The markets of the anthracite Goa
region are especially good and require
for their consumption enormous guam.
titles of fruit. At the present time the
greater part of the fruit handled i:
shipped from a distance.
Mr. Wilder's Investigations have
brought out the fact that there are
many locations within and near thi:
district which are we'll adapted tC
fruit growing. As a result of the in
vestigation it is intended to bring ou
a soil map aud "a report, which will bt
available for free distribution. 1t vii

AS RELATES TO-
WHOOP|NG COUGH

The councilmanic committee on pub
lie health is trying to devise some
means of coping with the epidemic of
whooping cough. The matter was
brought up at the last meeting of
council and pretty vigorously discuss
ed in its various relations.
The fact that the borough ordinance
does not include whooping cough
among communicable and dangerous
diseases was adverted to, but this was
regarded as immaterial in the light of
the provisions of the act of May IA,
1909, which abrogates or overrides the
borough ordinance.
Upon request herewith is set forth
the provisions of the late act that all
may see to what extent they are liable
who are negligent in the matter of
whooping cough. The act of May H.
1909, includes whooping cough among
the communicable and dangerous dis
eases and provides that whether exist
ing in township, city, or borough, it
must he reported by the attending
physician. As soon as the health auth
critics receive a report of communic-
able diseases including whOoping
cough they must proceed to quarantine
the premises in which such disease ex-
lists. placardiug the house as provided
by the rules and regulations of the
health authorities.
Section of the act provides that nc
child or other persons suffering from
whooping cough or erysipelas shall be
permitted to attend any public, priv
ate, parochial or Sunday school. The
teachers and superintendents are re-
quired to exclude any and all sucf
children or persons from the schools
| for thirty days. Penalty is imposed fol
neglecting to comply.
| Section 13 is especially illuminat
! ing. as it shows that children having
the whooping cough must not be per
mitted to be upon the street or away
from the premises on which they re
side. This section provides that NJ
person suffering from communicate,
4 diseases, among which whooping cougI
is enumerated, shall wilfulIy expose
! himself or herself in any street or pub
lie place or public conveyance, no
shall any person in charge of auyon,
so suffering thus expose the sufferer .
Section q provides that any person
who shall violate the quarantine re
strictions imposed by this act shall 70
/ every such, ,otfense be sentenced to pa,
fine of not less than $50 nor NOR
than 800 or be imprisoned in tn
county jail FOR period of not les
than 10 nor more than 80 days or botI
at the discretion of the court.

PAINTING IRttS

A York county, PENNSYLVANIA, merch-
ant, who owns large orchard, wrote
to State Zoologist Surface, asking:
''Will white lead and raw linseed oil

are any in the tree? Also would it be
too late to use arsenate of lead and
Bordeaux mixture the latter part of
May for the Codling moth? Would this
have poisonous effect on the fruit?"

pure white lead and raw linseed oil is
all right on apple, pear and ounce, or
what are known as the ''pome" fruits (;

"stone fruits" or peach, plum and
