ANOTHER SAFE BLOWING

Cracksmen broke into the Pennsyl-
vania railroad station at Mifflinburg
Sunday night and blew open the safe
there with nitro-glycerine. They must
have been frightened away because
yesterday morning when the station
agent came to open up most of the
money lay on the floor, together with
a file, hammer and chisel that had
been used in the work.
1t is not the habit of the agent TO
leave much money in the safe, so not
a great deal could be stolen.
The residents in the vicinity of the
station heard an explosion at about
O'Clock Monday morning, but did not
investigate it then. The thieves made
good their escape and left no clew be-
hind them.
The safe in the Pennsylvania sta
ton at Mifflinbu1g was blown open
several years ago, and at that time al
so the thieves escaped.

FALL ARBOR DAY,
OCTOBER 18TH

Indications point TO favorable con-
ditions for the planting of trees on
October 2Sth., the day fixed by the
state superintendent of public instruc-
tion as autumn AIhor Day. Teachers
of the public schools of Danville and the
country should prepare programs for
Arbor Day exercises and between now
and the 2Sth should give short talks
on forest culture and forest preserya-
tion in order that their pupils may be
led to observe the day in fitting
manner. Instructions in tree planting
and explanations of why trees are
planted should be impressed upon the
minds of the children.
In this connection DR.. Schaetfer,
head of the state educational depart
ment, says
LET us all plant trees and ask 9TH
ers to plant trees. Let us plant trees
for fruit, for shade, for beauty and for
the sake Of the many industries in
which wood is used. Let us plant trees
for the sake of ourselves and our pos
terity, for the sake of the nation and
of humanity everywhere. Let US put
our prayers for future blessing into
visible shape by starting trees that will
answer our prayers by our making
possible the conservation Of our ma
tional resources and the perpetuation
of our national greatness. The other
inhabitants of the state appreciate the
fact that forest culture IS one Of the
most important duties devolving upon
the citizens of Pennsylvania. Unless
the woods which have been wantonly
destroyed shall be restored a timber
famine will visit this state in the
course of half century, and the peo-
pie will have to look elsewhere for
lumber. But where will they go? In
every section of this country forests
are being cut down and our lumber
men are investing in forest lands in
Canada and the South and Central
American states where the axe is de-
nuding the hills and valleys. Plant a
tree on October 2Sth and help the
cause of forest cultivation.

The Equinox Seems Missing.

Old-timers say that in the past few
years the weather conditions in this
region have changed considerably.
They say that years ago, the equinox
was also week of storms, generally
known as the equinoctial disturbances
1t would rain, often for week at u
time, Indian summer setting in after
the storm was over. This year and for
the past few years, this condition has
net prevailed, the best that the wealth
er seems able to do being merely TO
have an unsettled condition. The sea-
sons seem changing anyway as the
summer rains have not been seen here
for the past five years

SUSQUEHANNA LOW-The Sus-
quehanna river apI ears to be trying
to make the record for low water
which it secured about this time 10
years ago. Virtually every one of the
30 odd sewers which empty into the
river at Harrisburg are above water
just now and in some cases the sew
age is trickling over the shore causing
condition anything but sanitary in
the vicinity of many homes. For in
stance, right in front of the Cover

stranded in the stream within 100
yards of the shore, right where it can
collect sewage and become a breeder
of disease.
