Day before yesterday q perfectly
nice lady called US up and with tears in
her voice reproved US for not mention
ing the fact that she had had a friend
visiting her last week. We told her that
she had not let US know anything about
it and that therefore, we did not know
that she had visitor. Then she said:
"Welly you should have known. thought
you were running newspaper"
Wouldn't that rattle your Stats? Some
folks think that an editor ought to be
cross between Argus and Anna Eva Fay
They seem to think that our FIVE senses
are augmented by sixth that let's US
know everything that happens, even if
we see. hear, feel, taste or smell it not.
Dear lady, editors are only human or
at least, almost human. If you have a
friend visiting you If you are going
way, or have returned from a visit cut
of town, il Johnnie falls and breaks his
arm, if your husband chops his toe in
stead of stick of wood, if anything
happens that makes you glad, or sad,
happy or mad, call us up. Tell US a.
bout it. That's the way to get it in
the paper.-Ex.

Three dwellings in the path of the

possible destruction through the efforts
of the Enhaut fire company whose
members worked hard with their chem

Land Tax Measure Held un

A bill extending a graded taxation
on lands to third class cities in Penn
sylvania was held up in the House Com
mittee on Municipal Corporations yes
terday despite the efforts o. fourteen
third class cities, among them Harris
burg, to gGt it out. Instead the com
mittee reported a repeater for the pres
ent law on the subject, which relates
only to second class cities. The bill
favored by the third class cities would
put the burden of taxation on land and,
its friends argue, would hasten building
improvements.
