Arthur Ludwig Takes Own Life.

Lying across the grave OF his nfant son
whose death occurred two years ago the
body of Arthur Ludwig, a suicide was
found by csretakers of the Woodlawn
cemetery in Titusville late Tuesday
afternoon. There was a bullet hole in
his head and the weapon that had Inflicted
1t, a 32 calibre revolver, swung from the
foretinger of the right hand which had
caught in the trigger guard after the pis-
tol had been discharged. Overwork and
worry seem to be the only causes that can
be assigned for the tragedy. His wife
and one daughter aged five months sur
yive; also five brothers and two sisters.
Mr.. Ludwig was a former resident of
Marienville, this county, where he and
his family we're very highly respected.

September Court Minutes.

The case of Elmer Walters VS.. Dunn,
Landers q Co., which was on trial when
our report closed last week, ended on
Wednesday with verdict for the plain
tiff for S40l97 This was suit for an
amount due on a lumber hauling contract
and marked the closing of tho September
court.
GRAND JURY REPORT.
The Grand Jury reported that they had
acted upon four bills of indictment, of
which two were found true bills and two
ignored.
They further reported as follows: That
we have visited and inspected the county
buildings and find the court house and
Jail in good condition, interior and
grounds we'll kept. We visited the coun-
ty home and found the farm in a good
thrifty condition. apparently in good state
of cultivation. We visited the different
rooms and wards and found them nice
and clean; the inmates well cared for. We
further report of the need and building at
once of a fire proof vault sufficient for the
storing of books of record. We find those
now in use in the court house not sutii-
cient or safe. The need of repairing the
walks on east side of Elm street on
court house grounds. The need of
ditch on east side of court house grounds
to connect with borough sewer on May
street. We find the trees in court house
grounds stand too thick; would recom-
mend the removal of sufficient number
and trimming of others to allow grass to
grow and a sod to form beneath those re-
naming. We recommend that new
linoleum be placed in the Prothonotary's
office. There are some supplies needed
for the Jail, bedding, etc. We recommend
the painting OF cave troughs on Jail and
court house. We further report the roof
on the main building of the county home
is in need of repairs; it leaks and is de-
stroying the plaster; also roof on old barn
| is in need of repairs.
We, the Grand Jury of September
Term, 1912, do protest against legislation
for or building of dams in the Allegheny
river and Tionesta creek. We further
report that 1t would be injurious to the
best interests of the people and destruct-
i've of the best agricultural lands in For
est county. That said operations would
destroy, in our opinion, about one e-fourth
at least of the arabic or agricultural terri
tory and be destructive of the lumber
interests, our railroads, our highways

WoOlly Aphis is Greatest Enemy Of
Apple Trees.

According to Farm and Fweside. the
greatest pest which for years has been
damaging the apple yield in almost
every section of the United States is
the woolly aphis. Following is All in

The insect is SO insignificant in its
appearance, and does its injury in such
a secretive way, that its first attack is
likely to be unobserved.
After experience with both pests.

less danger may be expected from the
San Jose scale than from the woollv
aphls when it has become thoroughly
established. The San Jose scale, nun
bering millions in a single season.
sucks much needed juice from the
limbs, but with that it is content, while
the woolly aphis not only deprives the
tree of sap, but destroys its power to
recaperate. The San Jose scale, though
he hides beneath tough, inpervious
roof, is exposed and open to attack
when compared with our woolly friend
who burrows unseen under several
inches of soil.
The first indication of this pest will
be found in the form of white, fluffy,
cottop-like substance on the limbs.

fully brushed off, underneath will be
found small, reddish tinted bugs
very soft-bodied, helpless creatures
clinging to the bark. This is one form
OF the aphis which of itself does com
paratively little harm, and is easily
eradlcated by sprays.
However small and helpless these
lrst toragers appear, their destruction
by spraying should not be neglected,

! BERLIN, May 7.-"Marriage gives
women relatively greater freedom For
, the man, on the other hand, it means a
restriction and limitation of freedom.
Much is said about the down-trodden
women, but it is a question if the man
is not more often the real martyr and
slave of the family" So writes Sig
uard Isben, former cabinet minister in
Norway, in the Marriage Problern ii
the Mirror of Our Time" book which
will soon come from the press in 3er-
lin in which leading men in Europe
give their views on marriage.
1.-THE advancement of women not

overpowering vast majority of women,

constitutes a violation of the laws of
society. Marriage is to large extent
the determining factor in the indus
trial existence and social status of
a woman. 1t unlocks life to her, gives
her higher standing and grants her
greater freedom than is accorded her
single sister"
Isben reviews the development of
marriage and family life. In the past,
he says, woman has been satisfied to
be the mother of the family, while the |
man aspired to be king, judge and
priest. Under his leadership families |
became nations. 1t was the father
which freed the family from it's former
subordinate status.

LONDON, May -Sun-Yat-S the
father of New China, has disclosed to
his best friend in the world, DR.. Jas
Camille, one of London's most noted
consulting surgeons, some of his plans
for the proper upbringing of his child
1t was at the Harley street home of
DR.. and Mrs. Camille that Sun Vat Sen
last summer laid the final plans for
the revolution that resulted in the
downfall of the Manchu dynasty and
the birth of the republic. The friend
ship of the London surgeon and the
Chinese reformer is of long standing,
dating from the time the later was
student there. Dr.. Camille was once
| the means of saving Sun at-Sens
! life. The oriental, whose revolution
,, airy activities had come to the knowl-
edge of the imperial authorities, had
been tried and condemned to death at
Pckin in his absence, and a price put
UPON his head. One day he was kid
mapped in the streets of London and
conveyed to the Chinese legation,
where he was held prisoner await
ing a favorable opportunity to ship
him to China. He managed to slip
out note to DR.. Camille, who i'm
mediately appealed to the British for
eign office. Since then, DR.. Camille
has been close in touch with the Sun
Yat-Sen's affairs, assisting him in
many ways while the preparations for
the recent revolution were under way
He has just received a long letter
from Sun-Yat-Sen, dated Marking, in
which the writer discussed frankly the |
ideas he hoped to see carried out.
THE dethronement of the Manchus," /
he wrote, docs not mean the complete |
salvation of China. We have an e,ior- |
nous amount of work ahead Of u.s.
which must be accomplished before
China may be ranked as a great power
in the family of nations For one
thing, l am glad to be able to tell you
that we are going to have religious
in China, and l am sure that
will flourish under the new
regime"
Sun-Y at-Sen's political program is
according to Dir. Camille,
hut it will not be forced. 1t is his in
tention first to pave the way Tor a
reform movement by edu-
eating the masses. In this endeavor
he will have the assistance of hun
1reds of young Cinnamon who have
been trained in America and England
and who are thoroughly imbued with
he spirit that dominates their leader.
Realizing that the foreign owner

The Care of Alfalfa Meadows.
(From Idaho Country Life)

1t is sometimes possible and adj
vlsable to thicken up a thin stand oil
newly seeded alfalfa by reseedine. Te
DO this, disk early in the spring, seed
ing when the weather is warm enough
to escape frosts, covering with a
spiked tooth harrow. It is not advis-
able or practicable to attempt to thick

plants. If the old field has become
'weedy or full of grass, it had best be
broken and rotated with corn, pota-
toes or some other crop before being
reseeded. Generally alfalfa reaches
ITS maximum period of production in
four or five years and fields this old
should be rotated.

but as the surface becomes harder and
the plants better established, a disk
should be run over the ground to loos-
en- the surface deeper and split the
crowns.
The presence of fresh air in the
SOIL IS necessary in order to insure
the best development of alfalfa. The
roots must breathe and they REQUIRE
oxygen the same as those of other
plants, and the alfalfa bacteria in the
tubercles of the roots must perform
their function of forming nitrates
which are food to the plant as well |
as fertility to the soil.
Cultivation encourages all this bv
loosening the surface soil, permitting
aeration, forming a soil mulch to con.
serve the moisture, killing weeds and
grass and last but not least, it des-
troys the eggs and larvae of MANY
injurious insects, as grasshoppers; cut
