TIoNEsTA DAM PROTESTED.
State Conservation Association Asks
Inquiry Before Charter Is Granted.

Inquiry Before Charter Is Granted.
HMarrisburg, PA protest has
been lodged with the State Water
Supply Commission against the incor-
poration of the power companies
which propose to erect large dams In
this Clarion and Tionesta rivers by
the State Conservation Association.
The association takes this ground be-
cause of the area of land that would
be affected. The memorial to be pre-
sented says in part:
I'VE have investigated this matter
and are of the opinion that the State
Water Supply Commission should not
grant it, at least until after rigid in
vestigation by the State, which should
be undertaken with the idea Of dis
covering the possibilities and secur-
ing to the people primarily share Of
the benefits to be derived.
I'VE believe in this, and all other
matters of similar nature, that care
full investigation should be made by
the state and such development and
conservation of water supply as will,
while giving proper reward to corpor-
ate eni erprises, first give attention
and respect to the needs of the peo-
pie.
The Tionesta proposition itself
seems to us to be altogether vicious,
and we cannot believe that either the
State Water Supply Commission or
the governor would grant a charter
under such apparently outrageous
conditions"

Typhoid Fever Epidemic.

Because of the development of 200
cases of typhoid fever in Coatsville,
the state health department has taken
charge of the plant of the Borough
Water Co., which supplies the town
with water from Sucker run and
Heffners creek.
A force of watershed inspectors, en-
gineers and physicians were sent from
the state health department, with in.
structions from DR.. Dixon to coop
crate with the local health authorities.
A temporary plant will be erected for
treating the water supply, and the
town will be placarded advising all
persons to boil the water.

FIVE times out of ten the most poorly
ventilated building in town is the church.
People complain of feeling drowsy dur
Ing the sermon. Sometimes it is the
minister who is to blame, but more often
1t is the lack of ventilation. Put a
hundred or so men and women into a
room. Keep them there for an hour and
a half Each one is breathing on an
average $40 cubic inches OF air a minute.
AT this rate without ventilation the air is
likely to become stale even before the
sermon begins. Besides this. the church
has been closed all week. The air has
had no chance to change. No wonder 1t
is bad. Why not air the building
thoroughly before the service begins by
throwing open all the doors and windows.
Give thought TO the subject of ventilation.
Perhaps you will find certain windows
that can be kept open without annoying
the congregation. Each church building
has its peculiarities in this respect. A
little time and ingenuity will no doubt
solve the problem. The result will be
fewer drowsy audiences and a healthier
congregation. So says Karl de Schwein-
itz, head of the Pennsylvania society for
the prevention of tuberculosis.

OUT of the l,076 delegates that will com
pose the Republican national convention
at Chicago in June, President Tst's
friends predict that he is sure of $50 on
first ballot or 24l more than would be
needed to nominate him. 1t would not
be so very surprising to find, when the
time comes, there will be little or no op-
position to Mr.. Tsft's re. nomination.

PICNIC TO BE
ARRANGED FOR
OLD SETTLERS AND OLD SOL
DIERS TO MAKE ANOTHER TRY
FOR ANNUAL OUTING.

Unless more interest is shown by
the old settlers and old soldiers OF
Wapello county, the annual outings
will be discontinued. The following
notice Of meeting to be held in the
Courier Office next Wednesday after
noon to arrange for the 1912 outing
explains the attitude OF the men pres.
ent at Saturdays meeting:
Old Settlers Attention.
| The meeting Of the Old Settlers as
sociation Of Wapello county at the
Courier Office on Saturday last to ar
range for the annual picnic and re-
union was attended by but nine per
sons, including the president, secre-
tary and treasurer. Only four OF the
country townships were represented.
On account Of the decided lack of in
terest shown las indicated by the
small attendance at this meeting) the
ton and disseminating the annual pic
MICS was seriously considered, but af-
ter considerable discussion it was fin
ally decided to make another attempt
to arrange for picnic this season.
and a committee Of seven was ap-
pointed to decide whether a picnic
will be held, and If SO, to arrange for
the time, place and program, and an
other meeting Is to be held at the
Courier Office on Wednesday,, August
IA, at 2 o'clock, p. m.
All old settlers interested in con-
tinuing these pleasant annual affairs
are urged to attend this meeting and
thus encourage the committee, and
also assist it by their advice and sug-
questions to arrange program that
will make this ipicnic the best and
most enjoyable yet. Although for
several years the attendance at the
picnics, has been quite large the
making up and carrying out the pro-
gram, has been done by few per-
sons, usually about the same ones
from year to year. No annual dues
are collected, but funds to pay ex-
penses are derived from the sale Of
badges at the picnic grounds, and
quite a number who attend do not
even contribute to the expense by
buy ing badges, it being entirely op-
tonal to do so or not, as no charge
is made for admission to the grounus.
Come to the meeting at the Courier
office next Wednesday afternoon and
urge other old settlers in your neigh
hood to come also.
