White-W Washing Trees.

Prof Surface says it is all right to
whitewash trees as often as you
wish. 1t will not hurt them and il
may do some good but not a great
deal. He advises pruning as soon as
soon as the leaves are off and also
spraying. As many do not keep re
cipes for making home-boiled wash
for San Jose scale we reproduce it.
''Boil two and one-fourth pounds
of sulfur with one pound of lime in
each gallon of water, boiling it an
hour, Then strain and fill up to
make up for the water that boiled
away as steam, and store it in a
closed vessel, and when you are
ready, dilute by adding seven or
eight times its bulk of water to each
measure of this stored solution. This
is really the same as the concentrat-
ed lime-sultur, and you can make 1t
when you have time and store it.
and have good results with it. The
best plan is TO use a hydrometer to
test it's strength and test it so that
when diluted it will be at 1OS or
stronger"

bear, while Palmer, from the tree,
also shot, putting a bullet through

shot. 1t weighed 40 pounds, while

OBITUARY
JOsEPH CANINE

Those here who saw and conversed
with Mr.. Came Tuesday little thot
that they were looking upon him
alive for the last time. He seemed
in his usual good health and cheerful
spirits and gave no token that he
was in the slightest degree troubled
or SO desperate that within few
hours he would put an end to his ex
istence, As we gather the facts are
that some persons saw a light at his
premises in Delaware township about
four miles back of Dingmans Ferry
early Tuesday morning. Going to
his home they found it nearly burned
down. A paper was discovered fas
tened to the barn near by on which
was some blood and on which was
written in his own haud writing
that his body would be found in a
small creek nearby. Blood was seen
leading from the house to the barn
and ON to the stream where ne was
found in the morning From ap
pearances he had inflicted several
scalp wounds ON the top of his head
with penkniie and perhaps think
ing they would not prove fatal he
made sure of his purpose by throw
ing himself into the water and drown
ing.
For some time past he he been en-
gagged in vending a patent medicine
and appeared to be doing a fair bust
ness. He was generally optimistic
and thought he was engaged in q
pursuit which benefited mankind
and he enjoyed recounting his success
in talking people out of their despon
dent moods.
He was born in Belgium about 63
years ago but passed most of his life
in. this country, years ago he worked
ct matchmaking and was a good me
chsnio.
Since then he has engaged in va.
rious pursuits chief among them
farming, His wife and one son and
brother Henry of Dingman town
ship survive him.
The funeral was held Friday and
interment in Delaware cemetery.

Travellers at the Erie depot we're

Mrs. Lederer was particularly ac-

DIR. SCHAEFFER'S
REPORT


Some statistics from the annual
report of State Superintendent
Schaeffer show there are 2, 500 school
districts in the State with "a, 1928
schools, 8,103 male and ~, 493 fe-
male teachers, and 1854 directors.
The average salary of male teachers
is $63 43 and of female teachers SAT. =
AZ. The number of pupils Is ,2S2,
965 Teachers wages are nearly
twenty million dollars year. The
total cost of the schools is nearly
forty million dollars a year. He fa.
vors a reduced number of directors
and a tern. of either four or six years
depend on the kind of men the peo.
pie will elect. He thinks it possible
that the longer the term the more
care voters would exercise to elect
good men. On the question of a
State Board of Education he is non
cOmmital and gives the arguments
pro and con, but says a majority OF
States have seen fit to adopt such
board. He advocates d course OF
study which would eliminate non es-
sentials in arithmetic, grammar and
geography and says if anyone will 60
over the text books he studied in his
boyhood and mark the things which
have been no use to him in his ca
reer he win be surprised to see how
little of each text book will remain
unmarked.

New Form of Ballot.

a question which will come before
the next legislature will be ballot re-
form. There is a recommendation
that we go back to the old vest pock-
ct style of ballot so that every voter
can take take his ballot home and
mark it at leisure. This form no
doubt will be strenuously opposed,
but just what will he the outcome
owing to the diversity of opinion
cannot now be determined. The
probability however Is that the par
ty square will be abolished making
it necessary for voter to indicate
every name on the ticket for which
he wishes to vote 10y a mark.

Brokers Raided.

Government officials have been
rounding up brokers in New York
for using the mails to defraud. Burr
Brothers have been arrested and
held to bail. 1t is charged that the
firm sold between forty and fifty mil.
lion dollars of mining and oil stock
worth little or nothing. Some seven
ty eight rlch-quick firms, it is
estimated have during the past five
years tieeced the public out of at
least one hundred million dollars. IL
is wonderful that people who are
cautioned both by reading and exper
ienee TO shun putting money in those
wild cat companies will be deluded
into buying Go to man with mon
ey and offer him legal interest and
good security and he win turn you
down. Go to him with some highly
oolored scheme promising large re-
turns of which he knows nothing and
his cupidity leads him to part with
his money-forever. Puck said what
fools these mortals be and every day
proves it.
Jacob Riis says il does seem as
if the chance of getting something
for nothing is on the whole the great
temptation one can hold out to frail
human nature, whether in the slums,
in Wall Street, or out where the
daisies grow.
