Issued by the Postmaster General.
Ordar No 5Q05

Paragraph 3, Section 436, of the
Postal Laws and Regulations, is here
by amended as follows:
3. The right OF publishers to ex-
tend in good faith credit on sub
scriptions is recognized and will not
be abridged, and although all sub

CONGREssMAN-AT-LARGE.

The state OF Pennsylvania will
have four Congressman at Large, and
the Republican candidates for this
place will receive their nomination
from the Republican State Conven-
tion which will meet in May next
Because of the increased population
of Philadelphia and Allegheny coun-
ties we see it assumed that each OF
these counties will name candidate
and that the other two will be taken
from the remaining counties" We
don't know how this will suit "the
remaining counties" but if Philadel-
phia and Pittsburg have made up
their minds to do it this way we
suppose this is the way it will be
done, whether the remaining coun-
ties" like 1t or not. The selection OF
these candidates for Congressman-at-
Large is going to be an embarrassing
matter for the State convention, las
there will be thirty or forty candi,
dates in the field. The office of Con
gressman-at-Large will only last foI
two years as the state will be redis-
tricted by the Legislature in 1918
The Reporter-Journal has already
voiced its preference for a candidate
for Congressman-at-Large from this
section of the state. We strongly
favor the selection of Mr.. Homer
Greene of Wayne county, and in do.
ing so we are confident that no better
man for the place can be named
Eastern Pennsylvania is entitled to al
least one of these four candidates
and where is there man who meas
ures up to the requirements of the
position better than Homer Greene

Circuit Courts Are No More.

The Circuit courts of the United
States went out of existence on sat
urday This is in accordance with
the Federal code that was enacted
on March last. The effect of this
to the general public will hardly be
noticeable. Nevertheless, a court
that mas a great history will come
to an end, one that has prominently
shared in the administration of the
national law and in the upholding of
the authority of the government.
The new law gives one Federal court
of original jurisdiction in each dis
trict, one intermediate court of APP
peals and one final court of Supreme
jurisdiction.

Farmers Week at State College.

State College.-The 1000 students
of this college town are absent but
500 enthusiastic farmers from vari-
Gus parts of the state are attending
the lectures of Farmers Week.
Professor w. H. MacIntire spoke
on soil analysis. Professor II. Van
Norman on daily cattle judging and
gave exhibitions in that line. DR..
j. ID. Stewart lectured on lime sui
phur as a summer spray.
Perhaps the greatest enthusiasm
was shown in the lecture on the
commercial fattening of poultry,
given by Harry NJ. Lamon, of the
United States Department of Agri-
culture. He said that the great
packers controlled 80 per cent. OF
the poultry produce of the country.
One plant he mentioned fattens 90
600 chickens. 1t buys up in the Mid
die States poultry from the farms or
ranches and fattens it mainly on
milk. These great fattening plants
supply the dining car service and
great cities.
Judging by their many inquiries
the ladies present were most inter-
ested in poultry breeding. In answer
to a question as to utilizing the
blood in killing, Lamon stated that
at great duck slaughter plant on
Long Island they fed the blood to
the ducks and saved the cost of meat
scraps. The best breeds for meat.
the best food for broilers and other
valuable data were given in the lee
ture.
After these department lectures
the whole institute heard Dean Al
fred Vivian, of the Ohio School OF
Agriculture, on "Organic Matter, the
Keystone of Soil Fertility" in the
old chapel. The burning of straw
and hay stubble is a farmers dam
nation, he said. Flowing 1t under
is his salvation. Besides stable ma
nure, hay, straw and fodder crops,
green manuring, such as clover crop,
is most valuable in keeping up the
soil or restoring it. ITO the farmer
that grows clover all things shall be
added" was one of his promises. The
uses and the value or organic mat
ter to the soil in serving as plant
food, Is making it friable in aiding
bacteria to store up nitrogen and
mainly in holding moisture were en-
phasized. Dean Vivian most viyidly
portrayed the value of a proper crop
rotation to the farmer in keeping up
his land.

WAYNE COUNTEANS
RECEIVE APPOINTMENTS

Rev. John J. Ruddy, of Parsons,
has been transferred by Bishop Ho-
ban to St. Mary's Roman Catholic
church, DunmOre. Father Ruddy
was born in Hawley, Wayne county,
where he was the playmate of Rt.
Rev. Bishop Hoban, who is also his
cousin. While he was still a boy, in
the sixties, his parents, the late
Thomas and Elizabeth Ruddy, re-
moved to Scranton, where they spent
the remainder of their lives. The
subject of this sketch had an inclin-
alton to the priesthood from his
earliest days. After attending the
Scranton Hign school, he entered St.
Bonaventure's college, at Allegheny,
New York, at which and at Montreal,
he received his classical and theolo-
gical education. He was ordained
priest by the late Bishop Mullen. of
Erie, about thirty-five years ago and
filed several charges in that dio-
cese, notably Conneaut and New
Bethlehem. Returning to his native
parish about fifteen years ago, he be-
came in turn an assistant at st. Pat
rick's, West Scranton; administra-
tor at Ashley, and rector of st. Dom
nick's church, Parsons, The latter
charge he has held for about eight
years. Father Ruddy has always
had the faculty of endearing himself
to those among whom he has been
placed, by his genial manner and
amiable ways, as well as by his piety
and his Jealous work among his peo-
pie.
Bishop Hoban also changed Rev.
p. e. Lavelle of Rock Lake to Tay-
lor. He has been at Rock Lake,
Wayne county, for six years.

Thursday morning at the opening of
the criminal superior court State At
torney Hull asked for a few minutes
before resuming the case against Ell
dred and McSheehy and 1t was grant
ed, He stated that attorneys for the
accused had asked for a conference.
He soon reported that the accused
desired to change their plea and plead
ed guilty to breaking into and stealing
furs from J. c. Macpherson's store.
Attorney Douglass spoke for Ell
tired, who he said is 20, native OF
New York, where he was formerly
newsboy and had been employed in
machine shop He has no criminal rec
ord and did not break into the store,
lie was found with the goods on him,
however, so he had no defense. Len
ieney was asked for him.
In behalf of McSheehy, who appear
ed in court without his short trousers
but with his moustache dyed black,
Attorney Desmond spoke, saying he
was 81 years of age, a licensed druggist
in Massachusetts,, an ex-navy man,
who is getting a pension for deafness.
He said he has a suit pending against
Boston railroad company and at one
time was arrested for the theft Of dia-
monds. but was acquitted. He de-
berculosls and is ruptured.
State Attorney Hull told of the rob-
berry and said that the men donned
Gveralls and thus got by the officers
who were sent down the river after
them by the local police. He said
McSheehy had been in trouble because
Of illegal Liquor selling as a druggist
and that Eldred had been arrested for
drunkenness. He considered both
should go to prison.
The state attorney commented upon
the good work done by the police of
this city and the county authorities, as
the number in the pen shows this
term. He spoke of the work done by
Policeman Smith and his superiors in
this case, and Judge Wheeler consid-
cred that Sheriff Wilcox of Rhode ISL
and also deserved credit
IN sentencing McSheehy, Judge
Wheeler declared him TO be one of the
unfortunates shifting about the coun-
try, who is undoubtedly not well, as
the flush in his cheek would indicate.
Because of his lung trouble he was IA
vored and sentenced to not less than a.
year nor more than three in state
prison. Eldred was given not less than
two nor more than three and one half
years in state prison.
1t is understood that McSheehy did
the breaking and stealing and that
Eldred had been made a tool of by
him. Because he was the better run
ner Eldred was given the furs and he
has been DESTROYS of comics sing from
the first. McSheehy appeared to have
great influence over Eldred.
