And Don't YOu Forget

The entertainment in the Audi
torium Friday evening. 1t is a
musical comedy, and has been
prepared with much care. While
it is proposed to give you value
received in the way of entertain
ment that evening, the underly-
ing motive is the raising of a
sum of money that will put the
Band on its feet, and assure us
plenty of good music during the
summer months. Don't be-
grudge the boys all the money
they get out of it. No one, ex-
cept those who have had some-
thing to do with a country band
knows what it means to the mem
bers-in the way of labor and
time in preparation to play; the
cost of music, and incidentals in
the way of repairs, new instru-
ments, &c. A good band is a
credit to the town and should be
encouraged. Tickets will be on
sale at Trout's Drug store all day
Thursday and Friday.

CATTLE FOR FULTON.
Farmers Should Select That Strain Best
Suited 10 Their Individual
Conditions.

There is a great diversity of
breeds among cattle, and, for
tunately, no Fulton county farm
er need be without good stock if
he will but hustle. There is a
fight on in the National Stock
man" between the advocates of
special purpose cows and the dual
purpose animals; but all sections,
are not suited with the same
strain of cattle. The dual pur-
pose cow-the beef-and- butter
cows well represented by the
Red Poll, the milking Shorthorn,
the Devon, and even some fam
lilies of the Holstein; and some
cows of these strains produce
calves of good size which soon
grow into good beef cattle. Many
Of these breeds produce as much
as 5000 pounds of milk per year,
and their offsprings show the
smooth form, good size and
glossy coats that are the features
of good feeders. j. Stuart Groupe
of Jersey Shore, Pa, r. f. d.
No. 4, has a herd of milking
Shorthorns from which bull
calves can be had at a trihe over
$40 each, while Holstein bulls can
be easily picked up at home at
little more than veal prices. Some
pure bred bulls Of breeding size
are offered at little above beef
prices. 1t is a well known fact
that the dual purpose cow, when
too old to be a profitable mixer
can be fed into fair quality of
beef, instead of having to be
sold for bologna as is the case
with the dairy COW.
On the other hand. there are
many of our farmers to whom
the beef type of animal appeals
very strongly; and to such, per-
haps, no better type of COW can
be found than the Polled Angus.
These cattle are exceedingly har-
dy, having a heavy coat of hair
and capable of enduring great
hardships on scant fare. AS an
evidence of the value Of this class
of cattle it might be mentioned |
that Rush Cline, of Fort Little
ton, is able to sell 10-months-old |
calves Of this breed at prices
from $50 to $50. He
lets the cows raise the calves,
and has no trouble to have the
cows breed annually. At our
public sales "no-purpose" cows
sell at $50 to $50, while special
purpose cows, or dual purpose
cows, sell easily at from $50 to
80, but they are almost invaria-
bly, the resultof proper breeding.
There is much poverty grass
grown in Fulton county; it is not
the native grass, but is the best
Nature can do for land complete
ly exhausted of fertility. EX-
cellent bluegrass will grow spon-
taneously on slate land within a
year or two after the timber has
been removed, which proves that
if we restore our lands to their
original fertility, Nature will do
her part.

GEORGE GARLAND.
From the Thin (o) Tribune.
Floating gangrenous matter
entering a blood vessel and car
ried to the heart caused the sud-
den death of George Garland,
aged 40 years, at Mercer hospital
at $50 o'clock Saturday evening.
Two weeks ago to-day he was
operated on for acute case of gan
grenous appendicitis and his con-
dition seemed favorable for re-
covery. After eating a meal,
which he greatly relished, Satur-
day evening, he chatted with his
nurse for a few moments and
then fell back on the bed and
died within ten minutes.
Mr.. Garland was born in Full
ton County, Pennsylvania, in
1873, the son of Ephraim and
Amanda Garland. In 1892 he
came to Seneca county and es-
tablished his home near Egbert's
church, where he had since re-
sided. In 1896 he was united in
marriage to Miss Della c. Norris.
During the year of 1892 he be-
came a member of the Methodist
Episcopal church, at Republic,
and in the following year he
transferred to the Egbert church,
with which religious body he had
since been affiliated. He was
assistant superintendent of the
Sunday school and was a faithful
worker in the various activities
of the church.
His wife and five children sur
vive him: Gilbert N, John r.,
Myron c., Walter c., and Lynus
E. The following brothers
and sisters also survive him:
David and Simon, of Fulton coun-
ty, Pa; Ivan, of Republic; Will
liam, of Tiffin; Mrs. E. F. Feg-
ley, of Fulton county, Pa; Mrs.
w. E. True, of Cumberland, Md;
Mrs. j. D. Creek, of Hancock,
Nd; Mrs. G. w. Catlett, of
Burkley Springs, w. Va, and
Miss Anna Garland, of Altoona,
Pa. The funeral will be held on
Wednesday morning, services be-
ing conducted at the house at 10
o'clock and at Egbert's church at
1890 o'clock. Interment will be
made in the church cemetery.

 Revolutionary Decision.
 This decision completely overturned the previous policy of the government The law provides that minor children of an allen who are living in the United States automatically become citizens of this country as soon as their father is naturalized, but officials have invariably held in the past that all children dwelling outside the United States at the time of their fla thers naturalization must pass the i'm migration tests before they can en- ter and claim citizenship.
 Interpretation of Word Reside"
 The secretary said the question re- volved about the interpretation of the word reside in the immigration act, which provides that the citizenship shall become operative when a minor child begins to reside permanently in the United States" Residences being largely intention. Mir. Nagel declared that the constructive residence" of the child as soon as 1t abandoned its foreign home was the dwelling place of the father, Consequently. when the little girl sailed from Russia, she was conktructively residing in the United States.

Prohibitionists Select the Standard Bearers of 1908
 For Another Campaign
NO ACTION REGARDING CHANGE OF NAME
Progressive and Conservation Sugg.Sted New Name For Party But Delegates Were in Too Great Hurry to Get Home to Consider Mater-Leadng La Toilette Sup porters Go Over to Wison-Roosevet on SectionaIism

Atlantic City, x. J. July 12-The national prohibition convention con- cluded it's labors here tonight with the nomination of the party standard bearers of four years ago-Eugene w. Chain of Arizona for president and Aaron s. Watkins of Ohio for vice president. In each case the nomina- ton was made by exclamation aft CT a single ballot had indicated the preference of the delegates.
 Five Candidates For President.
 Four candidates for president were placed in nomination against Mir. Chain. They were F w. Emerson of California; Finley C. Hendrickson of Maryland: Aaron g. Watkins of Ohio and Andrew Jackson of Houston, Tex. Each in turn withdrew his name aft CT the first ballot Mir Houston creat- ing enthusiasm by the statement that he would rather receive the lowest vote in the prohibition convention than the highest in either the demo- cratic or republican conventions. Chain Won't Take Nomination Again.
 The leading candidates against Mir. Watkins for vice president were MT. Emerson of California and George E. Stockwell of New York. Both of the candidates made brief speeches. MT. Chain said he regarded the nomina- tions as the greatest political honor bestowed upon any man this year. He thanked the convention for his second nomination and promised not to stand for third one.
 More Money if Name is Changed.
 After the nomination of officers the convention was forced to rush it's business to a conclusion as many of the delegates were leaving for their homes. Because of this the proposal 10 change the name of the party was not taken up for general discussion and action. A. J. Orem of Massa- chusetts in a brief speech promised to pledge more money to the campaign fund should the name be changed.
 T believe We could make the cam paign fund double if we should adopt a new name" said MT. Orem-
 Progressive" or "conssrvation."
 We would be greatly aided in car rying our banner to- success if we should adopt the name PROGRESS SIVE."
 There were many shouts of protest to this as well as to the name of Conservation Party" suggested by Rev. s. H. Taft of California.
 Convention Closes With WransIe.
 The convention adjourned after a Urangle over a proposed change in the representation on the national committee. A proposal that instead oi each state having two representatives on the national committee the repre- sentation be according to the size oi the prohibition vote. one member foI each 5000 votes aroused considerable opposition. The matter was referred to the new national committee for set tiement.

WORST ENEMIES OF

 At the library institute in connection with the state summer school at Dan bury, the speaker on Thursday was Mrs. Mary E. s. Root. children's H. brarian from Providence, R. I. Her topic was Library Work With Chil- dren. Three problems in children's work were presented; administration, connection of the library with schools, connection of the library with the com nunity. The ehildren's librarian should ask the question, Are the boys and girls reading OF a dead level, Bar hour, Tomlinson and Alcott, and never rising above the level of their daily experienceY' When a girl says that she is tired of reading girls stories and wants something different and then she comes to enjoy the life of Florence Nightingale, Helen Keller and even the life of Alice Freeman Palm CT, then the librarian may lsnow t''~f her work is worth while. The worst enemies of the library today are these parents whe buy Alger books and Elsie books for their children, Because the booksellers pile their counters full of those and they are cheap.
