COMMISSIONERS
WILL CONTRIBUTE

An inquiry yesterday revealed that
the veterans of Goodrich Post No. %,
G. A. r., have not as yet decided up
on any program for Memorial Day,
which is only a little more than a
month in the future. They have con-
sldered it wise to postpone action un-
til hearing from the county commits
sioners in relation to the new law
which authorizes them to make con-
tribution to assist in defraying the ex-
pense of Memorial Day.
At the regular meeting of the post
Monday night, a committee was ap-
pointed to wait upon the county COM
missjoners in order to determine what
assistance the veterans might rely on.
After hearing the report at the next
meeting the Post will Immediately
proceed to make arrangements for
Memorial Day.
A visit to the county commissioners
office by representative OF this paper
brought out the fact that the commits
sioners, acting upon the authority
invested in them by the new law Will
bear the expenses of Memorial Day,
but will not contribute a larger sum
than one hundred dollars, which is
regarded as the legal limit for one
post. OF course this implies that there
will have to be demonstration, the
commissioners paying the bills that
accrue up to the limit above specified
All doubt is now removed. Memoir
ial Day this year will be observed in
a manner that will recall the most i'm
pressive celebrations of the day that
ever occurred in the past. The con-
trIbution will procure not only band
of music, but will pay for an abund-
ance of vehicles of different sorts,
needed to convey the veterans when
the procession moves to the cemetery
Thus the veterans OF many battles,
whose marching as we'll as fighting
days are over, will be enabled to pay
their annual tribute to the memory of
their fallen comrades without endur-
ing the pains of fatigue or exposing
themselves to the danger of illness by
the long tramp. There will be no
stinting anywhere. For the first time
in many years the veterans will be in
a position to have about what they
want and it is safe to say that in
planning a demonstration for Memor-
ial Day they will act accordingly.

Scott not the humble onion.

ECCOl uOG
In the light of the subjoined tale
from the incompatible county of
Berks, tine beneficent bulb takes ON
new claim to respectful considera-
ton as true friend of man
One, Farmer Kaufman, who titled
the fertile soil of Cumru township un-
til he was able to celebrate the silver
anniversary of such labor, has retir-
ed. Incidental TO his REIMBURSEMENT
of the hoe he had Golfer which bull
ges with silver. His mind is free from
oare and his body strong 1t is all
due to the onion.
Herr Kaufman began by renting a
small patch. He knew nothing about
farming. All he knew was that there
was a demand for onions and he set
out fifteen rows and got up early to
tend them. By and bye the demand
for onions grew and Kaufman enlarg-
ed the patch Then he bought it for
$4,000.
From onions grew tlourishing
business in that delectable line of food
known as garden sass" which was
a source of exceeding profit to the
farmer and of local pride to the neigh
bors. Recently, Kaufman sold his
patch and some appurtenances for the
tidy sum of S26, 000-and still has a
herd of twenty cows and milk route
that is worth dollars. He declares he
owes it all to the onions, to those if
teen rows which started him in life.
Long live the onion May its
strength increase.

Trying to Shield r1urderer.

The latest development in the MUIR
der of the Italian, Nestico, at Shamok-
in, is that there is a we'll concealed
plan to protect and conceal the murd-
erer.
At the hearing given Tony Powell,
who was arrested down in the Burn
side mine, as suspect, it was claim
ed by his witnesses that he was at
home at nine o'clock, while it is known
that he was in saloon after ten
O'Clock. Adam Reilard, who keeps a
saloon on Liberty street, where the It
alians visit daily, stated that Powell
left his saloon on the night of the
murder about eleven O'Clock, but this
is contradicted by Charles Gellalli,
with whom Powell boards, along with
ten or twelve other Italians. Gellalli
and his Italian boarders testified that
Powell was at his boarding house at
nine o'clock and remained there the
balance of the night. When each It.
allan was examined separately there
was not one, when shown a watch,
who was able to tell time. There is
not the least doubt but what these
Italians know who murdered Nestico
and it is believed that Gellalli, their
boarding boss, has instructed them
just what to say and they are acting
accordingly in order to save the murd-
erer. There was not enough evidence
to hold Powell, but several of the 1tal-
ians will be put through the sweating
dergee and it is expected that there
will be some important developments
that will lead to the arrest of the
guilty party.

HONESTY AND SOCIAL POLICY
Millionaires Anxious to Purge Their
 Wealth of Its "Taint''

We see dozens of multi-milionaires endeavoring at any cost to divest their family reputations of social and busi- ness unsavoryness, paving the way for the enjoyment of an "unsullied" pres tige by remote descendants. The taint despised with increasing intensity, and to render the possessor increasingly un. comfortable. If the time has not yet quite arrived when Colonel Watterson may conscientiousy revise his famous diatribe on "Money and Morals" we believe it is speedily coming Mere wealth is too common in these times to create distinction of itself, There must be elimination, excmsiveness and the deciding principle must be conduct, aye morals.
 High crime, then, is crime neverthe- less. Crime committed in the high places, the upper social levels, will for felt these places. Emphasis is laid on the social tendency of the wealthy for it's importance upon economic life.
 When the rich, the plutocracy, begin to behave of their own accord, surely the poor and the weary may begin to look for the day when they may cease from troubling and be at rest from purely economic ills. It is time to sound a single cheerful note in the jeremiad of the toiling masses when the big bosses are led to consider the desirabil- ity of the "square deal,' even from the standpoint of social policy.--St. Louis Republic.

THRIFT IN FRANCE

II is estimated that the peasants
OF the south of France spend on food
for a family of five an average of
I'd a day. For breakfast there is
bread, with a preparation of salt fish
to spread on it; for dinner, stock
fish or a vegetable soup or salad, and
for supper lentils, beans or other
vegetables. Water Is the chief drink,
with very thin wine once in a
while Rabbit is occasionally used
as flavor in a vegetable stew, but
that is a luxury. Beef or mutton
is seldom tasted Most of them
dress poorly. But this economy is
not for nothing. Many of them have
bank accounts and in the matter of
hard cash are well enough off.-Tid
