FIRST OATS SOWED

County Commissioner John Cole
man, who owns fine farm in Liberty
township, sowed two acres of oats last
week. So far as can be determined he
is the first i'll the county to do any
planting this spring. He began plough
ing nearly three weeks ago.
Apropos of the above, Associate Judge
Frank G.. .Blee Saturday stated that
the spring of 1869 resembled the pres
ent one. Weather in all respects like
that of this spring continued all
through March, lasting until April
10th. On April 18th a heavy snow
fell. which at some places reached a
depth of three feet The weather was
bad and wintry until sometime in May.
Nearly all the ploughing was done
and much oats was sowed in March.
The oats crop, however. Judge Blee
says, was nearly a total failure.
The present season may not be par
allel, as it is not clear that the spring
of 1869 was preceded by winter as
rigorous and uniformly cold as the one
Just past.

Women For Enumerators.

That Uncle Sam is not a woman
hater and believes in giving the gentle
sex chance in the handling of the
vast amount of work connected with
the taking of the coming census is
shown by the fact that six women are
included in the list of enumerators for
this district. Three are from Northum.
berland county. Northumberland is
one of the places to receive this dis
tinction, Miss Eleanor Weaver receiv-
ing the appointment for the Third

A comedy drama by L. B. Parker.
"The Final Settlement, will be the
attraction at the opera house Saturday
afternoon and evening. The play pre-
sents a realistic picture of American
social life, is somewhat melo-dramatio
and is one of the big successes of the
present season. 1t depicts the rise of a
brilliant and ambitious young work
ingman from the ranks of labor to
position as president of a big iron
trust. This sudden elevation bewild-
ers his wife, who clings to her old
fashioned ideals of husband, child and
home. The mans ruin, and the faith
fulness of the wife in the time Of
need, are told in a powerful manner
by the dramatist.

LAW GOVERNING
MOTOR VEHICLES

Under the present law if the borough
authorities desire to fix the speed limit
for automobiles at less than twenty
four miles an hour it will be neces-
sary for them to erect signs at each
end of the streets traversed by motor
vehicles; if this is done the speed linn
it dare not exceed twelve miles an
hour.
The act relating to motor vehicles
approved by Governor Stuart on April
81. 1909, provides: ',that no person
shall drive a motor vehicle at rate
of speed exceeding one mile i'll two
and one-half minutes: provided, that
the local authorities having charge of
any of the highways may, in danger
ous, congested, or builtup portions,
place signs marked Danger: run
slow, and at these. places the speed
limit shall not exceed the rate of a
mile in five minutes, the said signs to
be plainly legible and the letters to be
not less than five inches in height.
The above would imply that unless
signs as above described are erected
automobiles may run at any speed up
to the rate of one mile in two and one
half minutes. At the same time, the
act provides 'that no person shall OPP
crate a motor vehicle ON the public
highways recklessly or at "a rate of
speed greater than is reasonable and
proper, having regard to the width,
traffic and use of the highway, or so
as to endanger property or the life or
limb of any person.
The provision relating to the pass
ing of street cars should be strictly
enforced in Danville, where owing to
the relatively narrow street several
accidents have occurred in the past.
The new act provides;
"When motor-vehicle meets or ov-
ertakes street passenger car which
has stopped for the purpose of taking
on or discharging passengers, the
motor-vehicle shall not pass said car
on the side on which the passengers
get on or off until the car has started
and any passengers who have alighted
shall have gotten safely to the side of
the road"
The safety of pedestrians on Mill
street, especially, requires that the
section of the act relating to the op-
Grafton of signals be rigidly enforced,
Every operator is required to sound
his horn or signal device when ap-
preaching street or road crossing,
when overtaking another vehicle or any
person walking upon tho public high
way or horse or other animal Of
draft or burden being led, ridden OF
driven thereon. When signaled to do
so by the driver of horse or other
animal the operator shall stop the
motor vehicle and. if circumstances
require it, shall stop his engine until
the danger is avoided.
No person when intoxicated shall
operate a motor-vehicle and any per.
son guilty of doing so shall be subject
to fine of not less than one hundred
dollars, nor more than three hundred
dollars or Imprisonment not exceeding
one year or both. In addition the
license of any person guilty of viola
tion of this section may be suspended
for six months.

HEADLONG FALL
Of 25 FEET

p. H. McCaffrey, a waterman, en-
ployed at the Reading Iron works, met
with very bad accident Sunday eve,
falling headfirst from the top of n
boiler to the ground, a distance of
twenty-five feet. He escaped with a
scalp wound and bad shaking up.
Mr.. McCaffrey was working on top
of the boiler when in some way he
lost his balance. He endeavored to
save himself by grasping some timbers
first to the ground. A very bad scalp
wound was inflicted, in addition to
which he was badly stunned by the
fall
Several other employees ran to his as
sistance. He was unable to arise and
seemed to be suffering internal pain.
Dr. Shultz was Immediately called.
Pending his arrival the injured man
was placed OH cot and carried out to
Northumberland street, where later he
was examined by the physician.
1t was found that no bones were
broken. There was bad scalp wound,
which, although painful, is not re-
garded as dangerous. The doctor last
evening did not think there were in
ternal injuries of a serious nature, al
though the man seemed to suffer very
much from the effect of the shock.
He was removed to his home on
Cherry street, where at later hour
he seemed to be resting easily.
