The Green Ridge Wheelmen are pre-
pairing for great fair to celebrate the
opening of their fine new club. The
date is March 5 to 9 and the arrange
ments are so extensive in proportion

1t is proposed to conduct the arrange
ments on an elaborate scale and make
the fair one of the most attractive and
successful ever given in this region.
The chairman of the executive com
mttee is Mr.. ]. l.. Rowlson, who with
the board of officers and irectors will
have the event in charge. They are the

President, p. r. Smith, vice presi-
dent, Howard Davis; treasurer, O. w.

itor of 1.-THE Philistine Magazine" and
author of many books will lecture in
Wilkes-Barre Young Mems Christian
association Tuesday evening, February
26, on 1.-THE Work of the Roycrofters."
Perhaps Mr. Hubbard's greatest
achievement was his Message to Gar
cia," which reached the distinction Of
being printed nine million times in one
year. His Little Journeys to the Homes.
of Great Men" have become valued
addition to the library of classics. As an
American, as an author, publisher
and printer, he is distinct type. a
character that has no parallel in his
time or any other time. People who
read and admire the keen sarcasm of
THE Philistine" with a mental pro-
test will nevertheless flock to hear this
man with the head of q medieval monk
the satire of an iconoclast and tie
spirit that despises sham and pretense.
Mr.. Hubbard Is cousin of Miss Lea
NJ. Heath, of this city.

night this week when about a

been one to remember. The latest ex-
plot of the LackaWanna club is al
