Loun, of the State department of agriculture, while he was at East Bradyglving an orchard demonstration, ami he stated that he never hefore encountered such a condition; anil was unable to say whether the locusts would do any harm to the foot. In digging about the trees, the holes can be seen where the locusts have come up from a greater depth to attach themselves to the roots. Mr. Seybert states that the trees in his orchard have not been in as thrifty condition as they should be, but as there Is Indication of other pests, it is haul to determine to what extent the locusts are responsible, lie intends to plow up the orchard in an effort to get lid of them. Clarion Orchard Thousands In I'upae State Found In While digging about an apple tree in his orchard last week James Seybert, of Seybertown, Clarion county, discovered that tiier were myriads of locusts, in the pupae state, clinging to the fibrous roots, or feeders of the main roots. Investigating a little further, Mr. Seybert found that the same condition prevailed all over the section of orchard which had not been in cultivation. The locusts were of varying size, some of them sufficiently developed to make their appearance above ground this season. k WW ERA OF BUSINESS REVIVAL ANO EMI W'hejs tin' DeemSis came they located between Jfo only two families in the neightaffnood the Puller an.I Cunjey famimes.

Mr. Deenier knew of the presence of the Fullers In the neighborhood, but not of the Cunleys, who lived a couple of miles distant in what is Unow.n as the Plfer Settlement. The farm upon which Jonathan Deenier settled in lS.'il is now operated by John .1. Deenier. For instance, the Ueemem were Included among the later settlers coining In during the latter uOh.

Last week we reprinted from the Punxsutawney Spirit an interesting sketch concerning the early settlers of Winslow township, says the tSykesvllle Post-Dispatch, which an the whole was a correct statement of early days in this section, but was not quite accurate in one respect at least, probably on account of having been called from memory.

"The new code is undoubtedly a great improvement over the old system, and-'ts greatest virtue lies in the fact that it will straighten out the tangle In Pittsburg, Philadelphia and Scranton. However, as before, its success lies with the people. Xo stream rises higher than its source." Asked If there was any one feature of the code to which he objected, he replied, "On the final reading a book agent slipped in a clause which prohibits the changing of books before the first of the year. The clause is ambiguous and is bound to cause a lot of trouble." 'The Juniors and the High school faculty occupied the boxes during the exercises and the directors a section on the left of the orchestra circle. The boxes were decorated in the colors of the class of 1912, while the bottom of the curtain bore the class banner and colors of the graduating class.

In conclusion she thanked the directors for their support, Superintendent Jackson for his earnest work and shining example, the faculty for having placed them where they stood.

T. iOOTK 4 BIG vFACfOR II THE LEGISlAIUflE One plume of the case attracted great interest. Mrs. Schlemmer remarried after the death of her husband and the defense claimed that she was no longer Schlemmer's widow and forfeited her rights at' such. The Supreme Court took no action 011 that phase of the matter. A suit for damages was brought by Mrs. Schlemmer through her attorney, A. J. Truitt, of this place, and the case has been lu litigation since that time. Over eleven years ago the husband of Mrs. Catherine Schlemmer was killed In tlie DuBqIb yards while coupling a steam shovel to a caboose. He was crushed and death was Instantaneous. The ease occupies and will occupy a prominent place in legal annals. After being in litigation for eleven years, the case of Mrs. Catherine Schlemmer against the Buffalo, Rochester and Pittsburg railroad has come to an end. Yesterday the Supreme Court of the United States sustained the judgment of the lower court, which had found for the defendant, noil obtante veredicto. linns Verdict of Pennsylvania Itixly. lulled States Supreme Court Af- The third special event of the day was the mlss-and-out event at live double targets, re-entry unlimited. 'When the totals were summed up there were live men tied with perfect runs, viz: Milieu, Coleman, Kahler, Howell an d'Hell. In the shoot-off, Coleman won by breaking all of Ill's. Hell and Kahler tied for second with nine. Milieu, the DuBols man, missed .his second and third bird, getting eight. 'Just previous to this the amateur championship of ennsPylvania for the DuPont Powder company's magnificent trophy was shot off and was won by George Painter, of Pittsburg, after a hot battle with H. Schlleher, who hold the championship at the time. "Kelsey" and Schlleher had each broken HIV birds out o( 4511 during the entire tournament and were tied for the championship. In the shoot-off both men shot carefully, with the exception of Schlleher at Ills seventh bird, which he missed. Painter was steady to the last and won the event with a straight 25- run. Kelly had just won the Mc.Niehol trophy, symbol of victory in the feature handicap event of the entire tournament, and there is not the slightest doubt that it was tile most popular win of the entire tournament. Kelly, weighed down by the cares of duties of his office in connection with the tournament, had been shooting below form throughout the entire meeting. Spurred on by the lack of anything more than several near victories for the Dubois men, Kelly entered the handicap event with perfect intentions of winning it. Shooting from the 1 s-yard peg, he broke the first 25, tying with Martin, 'who shot from the 17-yard line- and World's champion Harry Kahler, shooting from the 22-yard lino. In the shoot-off Kelley showed his metal by shooting another perfect score while Martin raised one and Kahler two. Kel.v shot last and It was the last event. Everybody was watching it and with his iinal "dead,'' everybody gave vent to the i usiasm ill cheers. DUBOIS, May 20.—With a mighty cheer for Field Captain Woody Kelly of the DuBois Guu club, in which shooters and spectators alike joined, the ewtnty-flrst annual tournament of the Pensylvanln State Sportsmen's association was brought to a close yesterday afternoon.

It declares the oil company to be a monopoly and gives It six months in which to re-organize and operate In conformity to the common law and the Sherman Act. This is ample time for the readjustment without sacrifice of property values, and with least inconvenience to the defendant trust. Writing into the law the prefix "unreasonable" before "restraint of tratfe" adds to ttie dittlcutly and cost of prosecutions for violation of the law and leaves the burden of providing the "unreasonableness 011 the public and apparently diminishes tile chances of conviction. it would appear that while the government gains a technical and moral victory, associated capital is granted added Immunity against the harassments of Incessant prosecution nagging. Whatever disposition there might be to take advantage of this enlarged freedom of action and abuse of the generosity of the court is offset by the fact that violations of the provision of the Sherman Art in prohibition of (unlesonable) restrain of trade," are placed distinctly in the criminal classification and penalized by line and Improsonment. The moral effect of tills emphasized fact will be salutary. "Taken by and large," as tlie saving is, the action of the court should and no doubt will be, of distinct and Immediate advantage to the investment and Industrial interests of the nation. It takes a great weight from the shoulders of enterprise and siould mark the beginning of another era of progress and expansion.
