No man ever knew what a pumpkin was made for till he sat at caoin home in the Ohio valley, where they had for supper pumpkin bread, sweet nutty butter, and rich milk fresh rom the COW and only an hour chilleo' or better. buttermilk fresh from churn and springhouse.
 Get your pumpkin when the 1rost IS on it, a red pumpkin, not yailer' Separate the rind and the seed rom the pulp and stew the pulp. Then take grated meal. put plenty Of shortnn Tn it, and make a dough of corn meal pumpkin, and sweet milk; bake IL quickly and bake it hot. When done put plenty of butter between the up- per and neither crusts. Have a squirrel stew. a chicken stew, or a fish just out of blue spring creek, or, better than these, than all, sparerios' pack- bones. and real sausage. That Is the way to eat pumpkin, and the only way civilized man will eat 1t after he learns that food can be made luxury
 The pumpkin was made for bread and not for pie. He that has eaten pumpkin bread knows it. and will dare maintain it.

Il never put in such a night in all
my life," said John H. Heumann,
the genial proprietor of the Hotel
Heumann, in describing to a CITI-
ZEN man the rumpus raised in his
hotel by a lot of young men from
Scranton, last Friday night. They
ran around and banged at all the
doors. My wife was sick all day
Saturday from it..
1t appears that last Friday, eleven
youths from the Electric City came
to the Maple City, with basketball
blood in their eyes. After the game
was played in the High School Gym
nasium, in which the town boys bad
ly defeated them, they went to the
Hotel Heumann and registered for
the night.

of them all, seven being grouped

Four others, viz: J. B. Kingsley, G..
Craig, NJ. A. Cassesse, p. O'Brein,
also of Scranton, brought the total
up to eleven.
They bunked together" said Mr..
Heumann, "and were disorderly all
night long. They kept the guests
and my family awake all night. l
went to their room three times and
asked them to be quiet. They didn't
pay any attention to me-"
Next morning when the chamber
maid went to the rooms, she found
they had smashed a bed to pieces.

To make long story short, after
considerable pow-wowing, Mr.. Heu-
mann, who was backed up in his
demands by several prominent and
influential citizens, finally got them
to pay up.
The whole proceeding was a most
disgraceful one. Mr.. Heumann has
the reputation of running a good
and quiet house, and the fresh E"
actions of this gang of prep boys
from the Electric City, will not help
to add fame to the aristocratic School

Rileyville. 1t was ten degrees below

Newton, Dec. 16.-William Cane,

arrested at the home of his uncle,
Joseph Williams, in this village,
according to the Port Jervis Union,
Wednesday noon by Postoffice In
spector NJ. c. Duryea, of Paterson,

Newton.
At various times he worked in the
silk mill; for Hall Hunt, of Branch

Plans, specifications and estimates
for thirty-six additional miles have
been prepared as follows: Lacka-
wanna county, four miles; Monroe,
nine miles; Susquehanna county, ten
miles; Pike county, three miles;
Wayne county, eight miles, and
Wyoming county, two miles.
The total expenditures for the

the advantages of the state appro-

any other county.
The Dyberry Road.
The "Dyberry Road" in Dyberry
township, Wayne county, has been
completed by Seaman, Irwin and
Brenneman, contractors of Homes
dale, Pa. This road is $500 feet
long and the stone, or macadam, part
of the road is sixteen feet wide for
teen feet wide the remainder. One
thousand feet of this road has a six
inch concrete top put down on a tel
ford base one foot thick. The ma
terial used for the telford base and
the second course was local stone,
while the top course, or binder, was
imported. The macadam part of
the road cost siXty-four cents per
square yard, while the concrete road
way cost $3.50 per square yard.
There was one reinforced concrete
bridge and two reinforced concrete
culverts built on this road, contain
ing eighty cubic yards of concrete,
besides the steel reinforcing costing
$76. On account of this road being
located near the river it was nece5-
sary to build large concrete retain
ing walls at two different places and
put in rip-rap at another point to
protect the road from high water.
The retaining walls cost S2,293.50
and the rip-rap $273.50. In order
to protect the dangerous places on
the road it required 1897 lineal feet
of fencing. The grading on this
road was quite extensive, the location
being changed in two places, besides
the grades on the road were lessen
ed considerably. This portion of
the work cost $500. The prelimi-
nary estimate on the road amounted
TO $25,790.93; the contract price to
$22,24S.O9, while the additional
work amounted to $683.80 and the
deductions to S1,S03.40, thus leav-
ing a net deduction of $1,119.6O, or

The Women's Auxiliary to the
board of the Wayne County Hospi-
tai Association met in the town hall
Friday afternoon, December 16.
The treasurer, Miss Emma Smith,
Seelyville, reported about $500 had
been deposited up to date. This
does not include money taken in on
day of meeting.
The Hebrew l.. A. S. kindly do
mated S25 which was very much ap-
preciated. MIR. Horace Young has
promised $500, and written a very
encouraging letter wishing us sue
cess in our new enterprise. Mrs.
Alice Young Barnes, Oklahoma,
sent a check for 5000, which was
thankfully received While we hope
to receive many such donations from
old friends out of town it is too bad
if our own county can not raise the
required amount regardless of these
kind outside helpers.
Mrs. Brennaman, Traceyville, had
very favorable report. She is very
sure of 500. This is fine from
these people who are working so
hard, to swell the fund Miss Beetz
hopes to get the same amount of
Texas No. 4. She tells us people
with small means are always the
most willing to help her.
A telegram received from DR.. r..
Gibbons was read: MY son, DR..
Miles Gibbons, will be pleased to
have the privilege of furnishing oper-
ating equipments necessary for oper-
ating." Our President tells us, "It

how willingly and gladly the wom-
en- of this and neighboring towns

realizes that patriotism to-day con-
sists in serving the community in

ment when Miss Weiss read the fol-
lowing: "A politician of experience
once said: When a good women

A TYPICAL RURAL EARTH ROAD
The amount of this wear has been
found by experience to he from one
fourth to onc-half inch Il year
Others have figured it ut only two
thirds of a cubic yard per year
We also have the experience of city
street making. With all of their great
valuation to tax cities have found it
burdenSome to keep up good paved or
maCadamiZcd streets.
Mind, am not speaking against mac
adamizcd roads. They are, SO far as
our knowledge Of roadmaking now
goes, the one thing for thoroughfarcs
or other places where the valuation
will afford them without burdcnSomc
taxation. And many of such places
throughout the United States prefer
the well built dirt road. What we
want is good roads now, and the QucS-
ton Is how to make them with what
money is available, and | think it is
the wrong policy for Il township that
has only from 5000 to $4,000 year
to spend on roads to lay it all out on
a mile or two of stone road when by
the right methods good earth roads
could be kept up over the whole town
ship with the same money or less.
The solution of this am convinced,
is in learning how to make earth roads
| believe that by proper methods of
roadmaking the earth roads, especial
ly in places where the nature of the
soil and the facilities for good drain
kept as good as or better on the average
than the stone road and at but n frac-
tion of the cost
The nature of the soil and the facii-
Is impossible to lay down any one rule
or method of roadmaking. At some
places nothing but macadam will do,
but there are many, many other places
equally good. In fact, in places where
the soil Is just right-that is, porous
enough to let the water through and
yet tenacious enough to pack and not
become dusty-and the drainage nat
urally good the earth road Is the very
best that can be made. And most soils
will in 4 large degree take on the quail
tiles necessary for good roadmaking

Secretary Knox For Good Roads.

Secretary Knox believes that the
congestion Of population in great cities
IS caused in large part by the lack Of
good roads in this country. He told
the house committee on foreign affairs
that the reason France is the richest
agricultural country in the world is
because she has had good roads so
long. He said: THE agricultural pop
ulation of France does not have to
spend its money in repairing vehicles
and their harness every winter. l
think it has improved the attractive
ness of rural life think it has caus-
ed the population to remain on the
soil more than in any other country
You do not find that tendency to urban
population in France ana England that
you do in this country"
