The Rotary, is the Name Of a Perfect
Nickle Alarm Clock.

Whether you are required to re-
port for work "On the minute" or
4 person of leisure, a good alarm
clock is often a necessity. The
RoTAToR is dependable and is rec
commended to both light and sound
sleepers as positively the safest and
surest guarantee of being aroused
at the time desired.
Ultra sound sleepers, after using
the common, continuous alarm clock
a short time, have found that the
alarm awakens them momentarily
only, and they again lapse into
lumber, the alarm having failed OF
is purpose. The alternate noise
and silence of the "Rotator" is SC
irritating in its effect and so per.
,istent in keeping at it that it nev'
er fails of its object.
The retail price of the clock is
$3.50. On account of the univer
sal depression. the manufacture
was compelled to have ready money
and The PAiIadeLpAia Press made ar
arrangement direct with him tha,
nables them to offer Tile Pres!
Daily, one whole year, and one OF
he "Rotators," delivered at youl
loor. both for four dollars ant
twenty-five cents.
The saving is yours, but hurry
as the demand is greater than the

SPRING ARB0R DAYS.
Governor Stuart Makes April 3rd and gath
Arbor Days.

Governor Stuart issued a procla-
nation designating April 8 and "a
as Arbor Days. The proclamation
says:
"The American people are on
the verge of timber famine. The
annual consumption of lumber is
now more than three times as great
as the annual growth. At the
present rate of growth and con-
sumption, the day is not far dis
tant when the scarcity of wood will
be felt in our homes as we'll as in
our industries. Equally serious is
the waste of soil, which is due to
the reckless destruction of Our for
ests. Every time our creeks and
rivers become muddy we can see
the action of swollen streams is
robbing the land Of its fertility.
Forests regulate the distribution of
rainfall and lessen the frequency
and the destructive effects of floods
and freshets.
Pennsylvania has made CON-
mendable beginning at systematic
forestry. The State now owns
more than three-quarters of a mil.
lion acres of forest land. Under
proper tilling the farm does not lose
by yielding harvest, and under
proper methods of forestry the mer-
camille timber can be put upon the
market without detriment to the
forest.
Trees are valuable not merely
for use as lumber, but also for
shade and for fruit.
Our State occupies foremost
place in the value of its orchards
and fruit trees The rising gener-
alton should feel special interest
in the planting of the best varieties
of trees, and in their growth and
protection against noxious insects
and other enemies. The annual
observance of Arbor Day by the
schools and by the people, in cities
as we'll as in rural sections, has
helped to create public sentiment
and to disseminate usefu, knowl-
edge with reference to the planting
and care of trees and the preserva-
ton of our forests"

TION OF TAFT CONSIDERED
SURE AND MONEY COMING OUT

Anticipating the election of Taft
and the subsequent approach of bet
ter times, the workingmen of Ely
district have during the past several
days been spending their money
freely.
General Improvement in condi-
tions has been noted among the re-
tail interests of Ely and vicinity,
principally in the saloons, where
large crowds of men are gathered
nightly, recalling the boom days.
The change has been coming on
slowly for the past couple of weeks
and at the present time one is re-
minded of the scenes of two years
ago. when money was no object"
Sums of large denomination are now
being exchanged between the gamb-
Ter and his patrons and the custom

Retail merchants of every descrip.-

expect that the improvement will in
crease from now on. Since news of

has been noted and there is little

Mr.. Lewissohn retired to his rooms
