Odd Fellows Pen-Mar reunion executive
committee is busy man these days ar
ranging the thousand and one details that
60 to make up this star annual event on
the slopes of the Blue Ridge. He has a
large territory to cover. The reunion
covers five jurisdictions of the order
Pennsylvania, Maryland. Virginia, West
Virginia and District of Columbia. In
addition to corresponding and keeping in
touch with all these organizations the
secretary must arrange with all the rail-
roads for special trains and other details

brethren to Pen-Mar and back.
Secretary Geesaman is not only san

grand lodge officers of Maryland, and
many from the other states.

in body and the following day will hold
a special session at Williamsport.
The Rebeccas will be largely in evil
dence with their impressive drill evolu-
tions. The drill this year is to be given
by the famous Rebecca team of Garden
vile, Md, one of the best in the entire
order.
There will be practically no end of
brass bands, and some good ones. Here
tofore the committee employed the Wayne
Band, but this year so many offered to
come that it was not thought necessary
to 60 to the expense of an official band.
One of the best booked for the event is
the famous Boys Band, of Cumberland.

Mr.. Becker was tried, convicted

not like his way of doing things.
Mr.. Rockefeller had and still has

Mn Rosenthal was following a
business not allowed by law, yet his
assassins, and those that hired them,

Those men assassinated in Col

lowed by law, yet these assassins
were not brought to justice, nor is it
likely that the man whose payroll
these murderers were, and still are
on, will be brought to answer for the
dastardIy crimes committed in the
name of the law.

Unfed Farms.

r
Ever since the first fringe of settlers
was established on the Atlantic coast Of
the United States there has been a
gradual and natural movement west
ward. AS the lands were occupied and
gradually impoverished of their original
fertility by careless or improvident farm
ing new lands were acquired. Land was
cheap and the westward movement was
accelerated as population increased by
improved means of transportation. ena-
bling the product Of the land to be prof
itably marketed. Now that the process
of occupation and tillage Of new lands
has gone so far that we are nearing the
limit of arabic opportunity and popula-
ton has overtaken our capacity for SELF
supply of foodstuffs we are beginning to
realize the mistake made in haphazard
differentiation of the soil and look
about for remedy.
There is very little dispute as to the
means of repair. The farmers must be
educated 80 that they may know their
farms and get more adequate returns 1or
the labor of husbandry. AS farmers or
farmers boys have moved westward the
tendency in the east has been toward
lesser proprietorship and larger hoiolngs
Of farm lands. Farms have been rented
by owners, and as consequence the
lands have been further Impoverished.
Facts. gathered by the census bureau
show that 80 per cent of farm lands are
cultivated by rowing tenants, who stay
on the land they cultivate only from one
to five years. In the southSthe tenants

If we expect the land to feed us we
must feed the land. Intensive cultivation
would treble and auadruple our crop re-
turn.

Concerning Pneumonia.

From the Chicago Journal.
The death rate from pneumonia per
100, 900 population last year was sS.s
in Philadelphia, 207.6 in Chicago, ana
223 in Detroit
Why these differences? No rational
man will assume that Philadelphia has
a more healthful climate than that OF
Chicago or Detroit. No one will claim
that Philadelphians. as people, are
more hardy than their western coun-
trymen The explanation so often given.
that pneumonia in Chicago Is due to the
irritation of lungs by soft coal smoke.
does not cover the facts. Chicago Is
smoker city than Detroit. yet has a
lower pneumonia rate; while New
York. which is foremost Of hard-coal
cities. suffers from this disease more
than twice as much as Philadelphia.
and almost as much as Chicago.
The health department of this city Is
convinced that Philadelphia owes her
comparative exemption from lung trou-
bles to the fact that her people have
acquired the habit of sleeping with
open windows. If this be true. it would
be well to import a few Quaker mis-
sionaries to preach the gospel of fresh
air here and in Detroit.

the first brigade parade in which they
had participated since the encampment

AS the last troop marched off the
parade ground, and the mess call was

much favorable comment from the
visitors. of the showing made by the
District boys.
Aside from the morning drills and
the brigade parade in the afternoon
the day was uneventful in the camp.

boys stood by for the MONDAY meal
Visitors came into the camp ground all
during the day and visited the various
organizations. and the soldier boys

The Senate today voted to authorize
the Secretary of the Navy to establish
naval lines to carry mail. passengers

The basis of the legislation was the
Weeks bill to establish South Ameri-
can mail lines. Senator Williams re-
fused unanimous consent for consider

thorize the Secretary to use the vessels
at once to meet the demands Of the

Williams amendment was incorporated
in the bill.

gested the bill be postponed until the
American registry bill. growing out

House as a more comprehensive bill.
Stone Withdraws Suggestion.
Senator Works suggested Senate action
on his bill might facilitate House action
on the subject. Thereupon Senator
Stone withdrew his suggestion. The
Weeks bill was introduced months ago
to enable the United States to take ad-
vantage of the opening of the Parma
canal.
