A Bargain For Farmers

The New York Tribune Farmer, a
national illustrated agricultural
weekly of twenty large pages, has
no superior as thoroughly practical
and helpful publication for the
farmer and every member of his
family, and the publishers are de.
termiDed to give it a circulation un-
equalled by any paper of its class in
the United States.
Knowing that every enterprising,
up-to-date farmer always reads his
own local weekly newspaper, The
New York Tribune Farmer has made
an exceedingly liberal arrangement
which enables us to offer the two
papers at 80 low a price that no
farmer can afford to lose the op-
portunity.
The price of The New York Tri-
bune Farmer is 81 90 year and THE
PREss is $3.50 a year, but both
papers will be sent for full year if
you forward 81 65 to THE PREss
Milford, Penna.
Send your name and address to
The New York Tribune Farmer,
New York City, and a specimen copy
of that paper will be mailed to you.

MRS. LUCINDA VALENTINE

ANANHa ANRAMnA v ALIEN TINE
Mrs. Valentine died at the home
Of her neice Mrs. Emma Crime in
Matamoras Friday, December 18th.
She was a daughter Of Jabez and
Elizabeth (Mulford) Rockwell and
was born in this town June 10, 1916.
He father was a soldier OF the Rev.
olutionary war and was born near
the town Of Ridgway, Conn, Oct. 8,
1851. When little more than fifteen
years old he enlisted under Benedict
Arnold, fought in the battle OF Sar-
atoga and was wounded. He was
afterwards transferred and went
undor Washington, was at the battle
Of Trenton ia 1776 and it is said
crossed the river with his com
mander, was at Valley Forge in
l877-7s, was wounded in the battle
of Monmouth and was at the sur
render of COrnwallis at Yorktown.
In 1924 he walked from here to New
York to see Lafayette and was cord
tally received by that distinguished
soldier. He died in January, 1847,
at Leonardsville, Wayne county,
and was buried with Military and
Masonic hohors
Mrs Valentine is survived by one
sister, Mrs. Phoebe Gainsford, of
Of Matamoras, who is now 90 years
old. Another sister, Mrs. Catharine
Bowden, died January 6, 1902. Up
to that date they enjoyed the dis
tinction of being the only three real
daughters, in one family, of the
Revolution. June 16, 1886, she mar =
ried at New York city Harrison Val
entine, who died May %, 1873
Besides the sister above mentioned
she is survived by three sons,
Charles, Edward and George of New
York, and one daughter, Matte,
wife of Ed. H. Mott, the we'll known
writer. The funeral occurred Mon
day and interment in the cemetery
at Honesdale.

Another law which should b
repealed or amended so as to operate
equitably is til
law providing
'- for the collectic'
of taxes. As we have it here til,
tax collector advertises general,
for some date in July on which to
pay taxes in order to obtain th"
abatement of per cent. There s.
probably no season of the year when
the average farmer of this county is
more unprepared with ready money.
No crops have been harvested, he
must provide means to secure them
and hire help The county does
not, or should not, need money
then June court is over and no
court until October. No fears OF
freshets or bridges being carried
away, only the very ordinary run
ming expenses of the county and
townships are to be met. What use
Co collect taxes of farmers in July {,
deposit it in the county treasury,
when it should not be needed for
several months. Why not let th,
farmer use the little money he has
in the summer and collect the taxes,
say in October. when his financial
condition is or should be easier
Then let the taxes all be payable
with an abatement, and a penalty
and enforcement Of collection if moi
paid within say 30 days thereafter,
In connection with the above-in
our judgment-the Office of tax
collector should be abolished and
the taxes collected by the county
treasurer, who gives ample bonds
The tax collector must give bonds
and must be paid a per cent. BY
adding trile, or by providing foi
expenses, the county treasurer could
afford to collect the taxes, and
probably in most counties has ample
time either by himself or a deputy.
We submit this for discussion. In
this county it is becoming difficult
in some townships TO secure a
collector. The Office hardly pays
for the annoyance and time of a
busy, responsible man

STATEMENT not be amiss to
remind those officials that the law
says It shall be the duty of county
commissioners to publish a state
ment which shall designate all
sums expended for 1.-THE repairs Of

II would seem from this Ian
guage that a lump sum including
amounts expended for repairs Of all
new bridges, without in any wise
designating the cost Of any partiou-
lar bridge, is an avoidance Of the
spirit if not the letter of the law
What a taxpayer wants to know is
just what a particular bridge cost.
For instance, he will be more inter
terested If he knows that the con-
tract price of the Mott street bridge,
exclusive of planking or of any stone
work, was SO, 595. 90, than he would
if that sum was Jumped with many
others. Besides it is fairer to the

There is now multitude OF laws
on the statute books rendering some
,,Du ,,,, laws exceeding in.
- tricate in detail, and
there are some laws
which should be wholly repealed
and new ones passed One, the law
governing assessments, Whatever
time of year may be the better for
making assessments is an open ques-
tion, but that assessors should do
their work without understanding
their duties. or, if understanding
them, willfully neglect to carry out
their instructions and so compel
county commissioners, who may not
have just knowledge Of the various
sections of their counties, or, Of
every particular piece Of property in
them, to make in fact a new assess.
ment in order to correct the derelic.
tion Of those who are sworn to per
form this duty, is wrong The law
should provide for a convention, or
meeting, of the assessors at the
county seat after they have finished
their work, and that the assessors
50 convened should constitute
board Of revision. A glance at the
returns Of the assessors for the sev-
eral townships in this county win
show the helter skelter manner in
which the law is obeyed. Now if
all the assessors had met here and
revised the work it is apparent that
they would have striven for an
equalization between the several
townships. IN such conventions the
assessor from any township would
become a defendant while his par
ticular work was under discussion
and the assessors from an the other
townships plaintiffs. Thus an
equalization would be forced if not
agreed TO- This matter should DO
discussed and when the Legislature
meets next year 8 proper bin should
be introduced 60 effect this reform.
