SIGNS OF RETURN
ing PROSPERITY

Conditions throughout the county
point to an early return Of prosperity.
Bank clearings and railroad earnings
are below those of year ago, but the
gap is steadily narrowing There are
fewer idle cars than there were at the
beginning of June. The July interest
and dividend payments this wear in
New York, the country's financial
centre, will be $177, 900, 600, as com
pared with 1854, 600, 600 in July, 1907.
Thus the falling off is far less than
had been expected. About S46, 00o.-
900 of gold has been exported
since the present outward movement
began in the middle of April, but as
we gained over 500, 600, 900 of gold in
November and December last, and as
we can get as much as we need from
the outside world at any time we may
need il, this movement does not dis
turb anybody. The rates for money
are about the same as they are in mid
summer of normal years Re-employ
ment days are becoming general. st.
Louis had one on June first when To-,
900 idle persons were put to work. On
a far larger scale the Pittsburg dis
trict had one on July sixth, when ev

corporation, the largest concern in the
world in its field, resumed operations.
The other shops of that corporation,
all over the country, will, it is expect

BERRY BOXES
ARE TESTED

The curbstone market Tuesday
morning was largely attended. Three
days intervened between the previous
market, Friday morning, and Tues
day. AS consequence the farmers
were on hand with large stores that
had accumulated. The townspeople
also were present with empty baskets
which needed replenishing.
The berry season is now on in earn
est Strawberries have given place to
raspberries, currants, &C.. and the lat
ter seemed to be the ruling commodity
in market Tuesday. Blackberries are
looming up in the distance.
The street commissioner carried out
the instructions of council and measur-
ed the berry boxes that were in use in
market. 1t is much to the credit OF
the vendors that, with one exception,
the boxes were of the regulation size
and held quart.
When the market people were notifi-
ed last Friday of the action taken by
council it seemed to be the under
standing that they would be permitted
to use boxes in selling berries if these
contained a quart dry measure. "
Only one vendor disputed the author-
ity OF council to take action, but the
boxes used by this man Tuesday were
found to be of the regulation size.

With one exception not only did the
boxes used contain a quart, but they
slightly overran that mark. The deal

three sons confined the business known
as Hunts stand. 3"
About thirty years ago the deceased
assumed the whole business, his two
brothers, John and George Hunt, re-
firing Until the time of his death
David remained in possession of the
plant and was actively in charge until

i'm he built up a large and flourishing
business; the product of his works
being in demand over wide section.

DESTRUCTIVE
CATERPILLARS

The destructive caterpillar is getting
in its work Of devouring the foliage
of trees in various portions of the
State and what is best to do to over
power them is an oft-repeated ques-
tion The Scranton Republican in a
reference to the matter says: "All
this trouble might have been avoided
if the owners of trees had taken the
precaution to destroy the cluster of
eggs on the tree trunks before they
were Matched. Now it is more diff
cult task to save the trees a certain
cure is spray with Paris green. If the
expense Of engaging an expert is not
desired, the same effect may be obtain
ed by pouring half a pound of the
poison into the garden hose before at
taching it to the water faucet. Thus
every portion Of the tree may be reach

OF the ironies OF fate is that the poplar

WATER WORKS
OVER4AXED

Owing to the intensely hot weather
and the drought prevailing the bor-
ough experiences difficulty in keeping
the mains filled with water. One Of
the water commissioners Monday was
authority for the statement that un
less the water takers are a little more
econom ioal in the use OF water ex-
igencies may arise that will make it
necessary to take the water directly
from the river, pumping it unfiltered
into the mains.
Never within the recollection of the
water commissioners has such an en-
ormous quantity of water been used
daily. The overplus is accounted for
by, the excessive sprinkling, mostly on
lawns and gardens. The most wasteful
practices, it is alleged, are INDUCED
in by water takers. After sprinkling,
the hose, without being shut off, is
frequently permitted to lie where it
was used for various periods of time
until the ground is literally soaked
and an enormous quantity of water
has gone to waste. When such prac-
tices are INDUCED in in all parts of
town at the same time the extent of
the unnecessary drain on the water
plant occasioned at once becomes ap-
parent
To make the matter more reprehensi-
BILE, the water commissioner stated,
not few water takers are using the
water for spriukling surreptitiously,
having never paid for that privilege.
the water CO ommissioners have decid-
ed that the rules hereafter must be
strictly enforced. Persons who have
not paid for lawn and garden sprink-
ling will not be permitted to use wat
er for that purpose and even those who
have paid will have to keep within
the bounds prescribed and avoid waste.
During last week even though the
plant was doing its best it was impos-
sible to keep supply of filtered water
in the reservoir. More than once had
an alarm or flre occurred the borough
would have been sorely perplexed and
there would have been no other way
