GOVERNORS AK
WORKING WELL
More Bills Are Vetoed; OPP
posed to Interlocking Direc-
torates In Banks

Governor Brumbaugh vetoed the
Senate bill designed to repeal bart
of the act of 1894 re-charterins the
Farmers and Mechansce bank OF
Philadelphia and a section of the act
of 1870 regulating banks on the
ground that the repeater would
legalize interlocking directorates,
which he says have national disap-
proval, and adds that no one has
given the least reason for It's passage.
Its proponent was urged to explain
its purpose" says the governor, THE
explanation after weeks of waiting
has not given much information"
The governor also vetoed the
House bill authorizing owners or
Iessees of property to kill blaokbirds
under certain conditions, The gov
ernor says the act of June Z desig-
mates blackbirds0 as game birds and
makes provision for their killing and
that this bill is not necessary.
In vetoing the House bill authoriz-
ing courts to make orders for re-
moval of bodies from cemeteries ad-
lacent to cities the governor says the
bill does not provide whence the
funds are to come or where the
bodies are to be taken. while he says
there is doubt as to who would own
the cemeteries after the bodies are
removed. Some one may want this
ground. These neglected bodies are
IN the way. This bill would remove
them and make easy the acquisition
by some one of this ground" says
the governor.
TIE House bill appropriating s9,-
500 for payment of increase of salar-
les OF mine inspectors under a re-
cent act was also vetoed. The COVER
nor says: Morally these inspectors
are entitled to this increase, legally
they are not" He holds that the
bill is unconstitutional.
The bill for a new edition of From
tier Forts Of Pennsylvania was dis
approved because the Legislature did
not provide enough funds.

NATIONAL GUARD
TO GO JULY Is
Foreign Muster on August 5,
So No Commission Will
Have Precedence

Washington. July THE Penn
sylvania National Guard will be
mustered into the Federal service on
July 10, as originally planned, 1t
Will hot however, be drafted for
service abroad until August 8,
This policy was stated definitely
to-day by General Mann, chief of the
division of militia affairs. For weeks
there has been indecision in the War
Department az to whether the first
plan announced for calling out tho
National Guard would have to be
changed, The plan contemplated
taking tho Guard In three incre-
ments, tho first on July 15, the Sec
ond on July IS and the third on Au-
gust 8,
BY taking tho first contingent on
July Is and the second on July %.
they will be merely mustered into the
Federal service for duty within the
limits of the country. On August
1t is the intention to draft them for
foreign service, and in so doing all
commissions will be dated from Au-
gust 8, so that there will be no ques-
ton of precedence or rank, as would
be the case II some commissions
We're dated before others.
II Is not known yet where the
Pennsylvania Guard will go for its
training. Two training camps re-
main to be selected, and one will be
for the Pennsylvania Guard and the
other for the New York division.
The plan now contemplates sending
the militia to the camps just as rap
idly as the camps are ready. 1t is
probable that the various commands
will be held in their armories for a
few days to do recruiting. and If the
camps are ready they Will be sent to
them direct.
In the case Of the Pennsylvania
Guard, 1t is expected that after q
few days in the armories 1t will be
sent to Mount Gretna and then to
the southern training camp. All that
could be learned to-day about the
camp is that 1t will be in the Depart
ment of the Southeast under COM
mand of General Wood. However,
the War Department expects to
make the selection definitely within
few days.
"It has been definitely determin-
ed" said General Mann, Ito call the
Guard in three increments as ori-
ginally planned, but that there may
be no question of precedence or rank
involved, they will not be drafted
into the Federal service subject to
foreign duty until August 5. Thus
every officer will stand on the same
basis whether mustered in on July
Is, July 25 or August 5.
There has not been a determi-
nation of the question where the
Pennsylvania Guard is to be trained.
This division as we'll as the New
York division remains to be placed.
But in a short time the question will
be settled. It is the intention of the
department to get the Guard into
the training camps just as quickly
as possible so it may begin instruc-

TOWNSVILLE

Jonesville, Jan. 9.-The eclipse of
the moon was shut out Sunday night
by the clouds. like to look upon
the eclipses and the consultations of
the heavens as they are the handi-
work of the great creator.
The weather was rather warm and
murky all last week and good to gen
crate colds and pneumonia, but don't
hear Of much pneumonia.
l had communication with a blind
tiger or rather through the medium
or one OF the monsters and | learn
by the medium that they did a -four
ishing business last year and had easy
sailing In Jonesville and their business
was especially fine during the HOLIDAYS
and they expect another good year
under present conditions. Talk about
the high cost Of living. Let's see some
thlng about the high cost of drinking.
The blind tigers get their liquor by
express under the gallon-a-month law
Tor $500 per gallon, then they add a
half gallon of water to each gallon
of whiskey, then add red pepper tea
TO bring 1T up to the same tempera-
ture and then sell it for $1OO a pint,
which brings it 'p to $1,000 per gal
lon. Take $40 IF for cost and they
made net prohI Of $1,000 per gallon.
So you see the high cost of living is
eciipsed by the high cost of drinking.

1T CAN BE DONE.

Somebody said that it couldn't be
done,
But he, with chuckle, replied
That maybe it couldn't" but he
would be one
Who wouldn't say till he'd tried.
So he buckled right in with the trace
of a grin
On his face. If he worried, he hid it.
He started to sing as he tackled the
thing
That couldn't be done and he did it.
Somebody scoffed: "Oh, you'll never
do that;
At least, no one ever has done it."
But he took off his coat and he took
off his hat,
And the first thing we knew he'd be-
gun it;
With the lift of his chin, and a bit of
grin,
Without any doubling or quiddit;
He started to sing as he tackled the
thing
That couldn't be done, and he did it.
There are thousands to tell you it can
not be done,
There are thousands to prophesy
failure;
There are thousands to point out to
you, one by one,
The dangers that wait to assail
you;
But just buckle in with a bit of a
grin,
Then take off your coat and go to it;
Just start in to sing as you tackle
the thing
That "can not be done," and you'll
do 1T. Selected

the consciousness that this brilliant

lecture why, which we all will do when
