TO ADVERTISE HONEsDALE.

At meeting of the advertising
committee of the Board of Trade
held last Tuesday evening it was de-
cided to inaugurate an aggressive ad-
yertising campaign to properly set
forth the advantages possessed by
Honesdale as town in which to con-
duct manufacturing enterprises. This
is step in the right direction. The
board undoubtedly understands that
there are many sides to the advertis-
ing proposition, and that quality goes
a long ways toward appealing to
prospective manufacturers who are
in the field as clincher to induce
them to come our way.
1t must ever be remembered too,
that poor advertising always works
the wrong way, and will turn away
more people than it will attract.
Honesdale has many things worth
advertising, and we expect they will
now be dressed up in their finest and
put forth on dress parade.-Hones-
dale correspondent Scranton Tribune

TO CATCH FISH BY NOISE.

Cambridge, Mass.-George How
ard Parker, Professor of Zoology at
Harvard, offers a novel method for
catching fish. Prof. Parker, who has
made the study of hearing in fishes
the subject of a life work, says that
the fisherman of the future may
make his catch by the employment
of some noise producer instead of
the time-honored net or hook and
line.
The idea is not fully worked out
as yet" says the professor, "and it
would be premature for me to go in
to the matter at the present time.
1t is not, however, too much to say
that certain fish possess organs for
communication by sound with their
fellows, and indeed to call each 9TH
er so that it might be perfectly pos
sible to attract fish in this manner
by artificial means. Certain kinds
of noises do not produce a negative
reaction on fish, but instead serve
to attract them. This characteristic
might we'll be made the means of
Turing them to a desired province. Z"
Prof. Parker was recently request
ed to prepare a report on this sub
ject for the Bureau of Fisheries, a
division of the Department of Com
merce and Labor.

FIRST-All business should be
conducted on the basis of the King
dom of God, a square deal and the
Golden Rule. Employers should do
unto employees as they would have
employees do unto them.
SECOND--Every employee should
know at the beginning of the year
the minimum amount of wages he Is
to receive so as to arrange his ex-
penses, and the employer so he can
figure his labor cost.
THIRD-Every employee should
have the privilege of investing his
savings in the concern where he is
employed and share pro rata in the
profits of the concern, and his invest
ment should be made absolutely safe
by law or statute.
FOURTH-Every shop should be
organized within itself and organi-
cation should include everyone from
boss to apprentice. The object
should be mutually beneficial and
every question in which the laborer
is interested should be discussed and
amicably settled
Strikes and lockouts should be
prohibited by law under heavy pen
atty and all disputes which could not
be settled by the shop organization
should be referred to a jury of i'm
partial men for settlement.

AN AUTUMN MEMORY.
[By S. s. Robinson. ]


We stood by the river one evening in
autumn,
And watched the bright leaves
drifting down in the stream,
Like fairy ships sailing away to the
ocean,
With no masts or rudder, no an
chor or beam.
The partridge was drumming away
in the thicket,
The squirrels at work in the but
ternut trees,
Were gathering stores for the fast
coming winter
Chattering gaily in the cool aut-
umn breeze.
The crowd was assembling down in
the meadow,
And noisily feasting where har-
vests were shorn;
While off to the southland the wild
geese were flying,
Yet, fingered some robins, and
bluebirds forlorn.
The setting sun gilded the hills with
its splendor,
Gray clouds fringed silver sWept
over the sky,
The world seemed an Eden as In
ancient story
A bower of delight for my sweet
heart and I.

SOME HIGH PLACES.

Did you know that the highest
point passed by a standard guage
railway in the United States, east of
the Rocky mountains, is right on
the northern borders of Wayne?
Mount Ararat is 1900 feet above the
level of the sea, and the summit
where the Jefferson Branch of the
Erie crosses is 2023 feet. Great To-
comotive pushers are used on both
sides of the summit. These facts
will be interesting for readers of
the Independent who pass over this
railway.-Honesdale Independent.
We discover that there are a num-
Der of highest railroad points in the
United States, east of the Rocky
mountains. At least two places in
Sullivan county, reached by rail-
roads, and one in Wyoming, have a
greater altitude than the place men
toned by the Independent. The ter
minus of the Eaglesmere railroad,
on the shores of the lake of the same
name, is supposed to be slightly
above 2200 feet above tide. The
terminus of the branch of the Le-
high Valley running from Ricketts, to
Lake Ganoga is between 1900 and
2300 feet above tide. A point on
the Bowman's Creek Branch of the
Lehigh Valley, a few miles from
Ricketts,, in Wyoming county, is
2400 feet above sea level. We can
not give the exact number of feet at
these different elevations, as we
have no data at hand from which to
quote, but the heights quoted are
the heights popularity accorded to
these points.
On the summit of old North
Mountain, in Davidson township,
Sullivan county, there is a bronze
tablet set into a massive block of
sandstone, and the tablet bears an
inscription to the effect that it was
placed there by the United States
Geological Survey, and that the sum-
NIT of the mountain is 2673 feet
above tide, and the highest point in
Pennsylvania. If there are higher
points we do not care to reach them
on windy day.-Canton Sentinel

supplies stimulus to b nne S, wlo
should push their studies until they
can pass the examination for a HE
certificate. The constitution prevents
pensions except to sailors and soldiers

provide pensions for teachers out OF
state funds, Laws permitting the local
authorities to provide retirement
funds for teachers have been enacte /,
and the wisdom of this legislation as
exemplified in many sections of the
commonwealth has added further
laurels to the record of the Repub IT,
can party.
The legislature also provided for the
organization of a bureau of profes-
sional education for the purpose o. Sc.
curing reciprocity with other states in
medical, dental and pharmaceutical
licenses. Pennsylvania has always
been foremost in her colleges of medi-
cine, dentistry and pharmacy, and rha
new legislation will serve to perpe.u
ate the supremacy of schools in pro.
fessional education.
Distribution of School Funds.
The lberality Of the legislature in
aiding the institutions of higher learn
ing is unrivalled in the history of the
state. 1t has substituted for the three
medical examining boards a single and
separate board of examiners which will
pass upon the qualifications Of all med
ical students, thereby placing all the
schools of medicine upon the same
basis and requiring them all to attain
the same standard of qualifications.
The new method Of distributing the
school appro Driation is an improve
ment on all former methods. After
deducting from the gross amount
items like the amount required under
the minimum salary act and for free
tuition in the state normal schools for
the training of teachers, the remand
er Is divided INTO two equal parts.
One-half is distributed upon the basis
of the rumber of teachers employed.
and the o'her half ic dis ributed upon
the basis Of the children between six
and six. cen years Of age This will
prevent any injustice from the pad
ding of the roll of taxables by the
enumeration of temporary sojourners
in the crowded centers o. population.
The enactment Of the new school
code and the creation OF the bureaus
of medical and professional education
are distinct steps OF progress for
which the Republican party can claim
credit.
