Brotherhood holds Debate.

A very interesting and pleasant de
bate. took place Monday evening,
February 14th in the Presbyterian
church parlors.
The 'debate-Resolved that the
Postal Savings Banks should be es-
tablished in the United States.
The points for the affirmative, as
presented by Burnett Brennan, H.
$. Angle and George Mitchell were
That it would bring more money in
circulation; would induce foreigners
TO put their money in these banks
who are afraid OF other banks and
consequently hide it; it would be a
source Of revenue to the government;
and it would be place to draw ON If
the other banks failed.
The points for the negative, as pre-.
sented by W, A. h. Mitchell and C.
D. Wildrick were that it would make
more work for the postmaster, ami
II Would take MS time away from 'ii-
patching the mails; that it only pays
? q while other banks pay at least 5
96 thus giving lower rate Of interest
that it was tried three times before
by the United States and failed, con-
sequently the government does not
guarantee it this time; and last but
not least it was not clearly shown, af
ter the money has been put in the
bank how it could be drawn out
again
The judges, Messrs George Dau-
mann, F. P Sawyer and a. T. Seeley
decided in favor of the negative, af-
ter which the meeting adjourned.

Our Waning Resources

This state holds a commanding
position among the others by virtue
of her abundant and varied natural
stores, which, however, have been
appropriated and developed by priv
ate enterprise. Our laws. compared
with others, are unpFegressive IN ad-
vanced economic policies. We have
follOwed-seldom led, and it is sig
nificant of this course that today We
mnst look to the newer states of the
middle west as examples tor guild
anoe toward the goal of material bet.
terment. We should stand against
all waste and for public economy as
embodied in improved agricultural
methods, forest preservation, devel.
opment of waterways and fisheries,
extension of trolley lines and trans
portation facilities in general, pure
food, economical distribution of pro.
uucts, and most important of all
proper care and protection of the
child and the maintenance of public
health. The state has ability to ac-
complish results along these lines
In five years she has evolved from
nothing a Department of Health
which is model for the country.
One of the most effective forces to-
day in forwarding progressive econ.
Omies in the Commonwealth is the
State Grange, and as a result of its
activity, State College is the only
agency sending out able and we'll

Helping The Unemployed

The Bowery Mission in New York
appeals for financial and with which
to assist the unemployed until the
opening of Spring when it can send
out men to positions on farms aud
elsewhere throughout the country.
In the past twelve months over 1000
have been thus afforded way to
make themselves useful and obtain
comfortable homes. rhe solution of
the problem of the unemployed is
a complex one and lack of work is
the main factor, but in a country ar
parently as prosperous as this it
seems an anomaly that any one
really willing should be without
work. Farm products are so high in
price that farmers can we'll afford to
pay fair wages and employ help, and
the advice of those who have studied
the situation is that an increase in
farm products is a solution of one of
the economical problems of the day.
Land must be made more productive,
more intensive farming must prevail
and this requires labor. 1t is said
there is no danger of overproduotion
in this direction, demand grows
apace with the supply and farmers
will make no mistake in increasing
their products. Any one wishing
to send aid to the mission may ad

The G. O. P. in Pike

What We Drink

We must be a thirsty nation, not
necessarily using water TO queneh
it, as statistics show. Last year we
drank the essence of more than a bill

Must Protect Passengers

The Supreme court of this state
holds that a railroad company is
bound to protect its passengers when
they cross tracks from its depf TO
take train. The court says wi en-
at a station an Intending passenger
awaits his train. he has a right to as
same that the railroad company will
perform its duty of exercising tho
strictest yigilence to protect him
from being injured, either by the
train ne intends to take or by one
passing through the station before 1t
arrives, and that the "stop, look and
listen rule" is not in such case to be
vigorously applied. This makes
good common sense good law.

WHAT HAVE WE DONE ToDAYP
CECILIA A. CULLEN.

We shall do so much in the years to come,
But what have we done today?
We shall give our gold in princely sum,
But what did we give today?
We shall lift the heart and dry the tear
We shall plant hope in the place of fear,
We shall speak the words of love and cheer;
But what did we speak today?
We shall be so kind in the aiterwhile,
But what have we been today?
We shall bring each lonely life a emile,
But what have we brought today?
We shall give to truth a grander birth,
And'tO steadtast faith deeper worth
We shall feed the hungering souls of earth;
But whom have we fed today?
We shall reap such jays in the by and by,
But what have we sown today?
We shall build us mansions in the sky
But what have We built today?
'Tis sweet in idle dreams to bask,
But here and now do we our task?
Yes, this is the thing our souls must ask,
''What have we done today?"

THE WINTERS NIGHT

Whoo-o-o- the cold winds blow,
Night has come, the frost and snow
Like crystals glitter by the light
OF distant stars and moon so bright
The weird gales they to shrek
As though half human as they brick.
Like ghostly giants, shadows fail
Upon the parapet's high wall,
Then glide as guilty thieves away
Fearing the approach of day.
So shadows and shadows go
AS do the winds, the frost, the snow.
Whoo-O-c-l What meanings low
They must be sounds of human woe,
So sad, SO plaintve is the wall
OF winter winds; they tell a tale
OF misery, of hardship, pain,
They tell it DER and o'er again.

have been fatal 10 any other people,

knowledge.

FEN years ago IT was tuS'"
"a mary to simply cut on the
broken or splintered limb Of
q u a tree shattered by sever
wind storm. and then leave
the wound TO heal the best way posi-
bic. In case the tree was badly man
gled II was removed altogether.
Today there are bur few accidents
to trees that prove fatal. The wound
ed surface is first treated antiseptl-
cally. as il has been discovered that
the uncovered surface of living woods
are sensitive TO many germs. Scien-
lists nave found that the air Itself
is dangerous 10 trees. and if germs
are allowed TO lodge and develop they
will gradually produce a wound that
cannot be healed. If neglected. they
will eas out the very heart OF the
tree.
The broken parts of the tree are
now brought together and bound up,
much the same as a wound OF hl-
nan. When the wound is treated in
this manner IL will heal completely.
One of the latest inventions in the
line of tree surgery is to bind the
parts together b. means of metal
bars. passing directly through the
limbs and frightened by bolts at either
end
The method of binding the broken
parts together by metal bands is dis
couraged. on account of the fact that
a tight band tends TO check the free
circulation of the sap. and hinders the
healing process. Again. the limb is
liable 10 grow over the band and give
an unsightly appearance When
wound to 4 tree is treated ii must be
given careful attention, as there is
considerable danger of water working
its way into tho crevices and hinder
