A BRIGHT LITTLE ONE TAKEN.

Ihe serious illness of little Glare
Vivienne, youngest daughter of DR..
and Mrs. L. P. Cooke, mention of
which we made last week, terminal
ed fatally Thursday morning about
800 O'Clock. The child's condition
had kept family and friends between
nope and fear the past week, with
perhaps, fear predominating. Soon
as one development of the disease
was corrected another would appear
and thus the little ones strength
was gradually worn away, although
everything was done which medical
skill and loving hands could do.
Little Vivienne was five years old
and an unusually bright, beautiful
and winsome child. She was the
baby of the household and the idol
of the family circle. And not alone
by those at home but by neighbors
generally the little girl was loved and
Is now lamented. 1t is no surprise
that the family is Frustrated with
grlef. The parents are more than
ordinarily devoted to their children,
and the children to them while this
devotion is reflected in a singularly
close attachment between the chill
dren themselves. Pneumonia. fol-
lowing severe attack of intestinal
trouble and complicated by an en-
pyema was the cause of death. Be-
SIDES the parents, one sister and two
brothers survive: Miss Florence,
Earl and Edmund, all at home. She
is also survived by her grandmoth-
er, Mrs. A. X. Hardenbergh, of this
place.
The funeral will be held at the
nome on Saturday afternoon at 3
Q, CLOCK and will be private. Rev.
w. 3. Peterson, pastor of the Pres
pyterlan church, will conduct the
services. lnterment will be made in

BOY SCOUTS.

Examinations and the various COM
mencement celebrations at the High
school have kept the work of the
Boy Scouts behind. Nearly every one
of the four Patrols is qualified for
the Tenderfoot badge, however, and
preparations will soon be under way
for second class scout work.
The boys are waiting rather i'm
patiently for their suits, which were
ordered some three weeks ago. 1t is
understood that some three hundred
thousand have joined the movement
in the past four months and the Off
cial outfitters have been unable to
keep up with their orders for suits.
These official uniforms, by the way,
are of very pleasing appearance.
They are stamped with the official
seal and equipped with patented but
tons and buckles. The garments are
made from Boy Scout olive drab
drill of a superior quality. The suits
can be issued only to boys who have
passed the tests and only on proper
requisition of certified Scout Masters
The twenty-one uniforms for
the Boy Scouts of Honesdale arrived
Thursday morning. They were Sc
cured from the official outfitter at
Red Bank, N. j., through the local
dealer, Irving B. Brown, at a cost
of $3.50 each. Each boy pays for
his own suit. No boy is permitted
to wear one of these suits unless
he has passed the tenderfoot tests,
and has requisition from the scout
master.

OUR BOYS
EDITED BY
ON Z EOFTHEM

Well, boys, we have a column for
you. We know you don't care to
read about how many pounds of rags
Aunt Jane sewed last week for the
new preachers parlor carpet, or
knowing how many eggs Toms
speckled biddy laid last month, or
how rice pudding is made, so we
have created this column for you.
True, you are probably interested
In The Citizen in a general way, but
there is nothing in it for you per-
sonally. 1t is the object of the edi-
tor of this department to have some
thing every week that will appeal to
your very being; that stimulates
your thoughts and actions; that
tells you there is place for you at
the top OF the ladder; something that
animates life and makes it worth
living; that will be helpful in the
daily walk of life and teaches you to
be optimistic and not pessimistic in
your views. These and many others
form the basis upon which this de-
partment is written.
We want to make this department
extremely interesting. 1t will also
be the Boy Scouts Bulletin. All
movements, whatsoever, that pertain
to the Scouts will be recorded here.
To this end the writer desires the
hearty cooperation of every boy and
young-old man in building up this
department of The Citizen. By your
undivided support we will try and
make this column interesting and in
structive and by doing so it will be
the first to be read in The Citizen.
Address all communications in
tended for this department to "Our
Boys" care The Citizen, Honesdale.

DREHER, Pa, June 15.-This To-
cality was visited by two, real heavy
rains, accompanied with a wonderful
electrical display and thunder that
shook terra firma. The first shower
came early on Sunday morning, about
3 a. m. and with the bright, sharp
lightning and almost a constant peal
of thunder. 1t was a very sound
sleeper who was not awakened. The
second shower began to be heard
about 1880 p. m. on Sunday evening
and was even heavier and louder
than that of the morning and con-
tinued raining until early on Mon
day morning. Both showers were ac-
companied with some hail, but not of
such quantity as to do any damage
The ground is very wet and farm
work will be held up for several days.

Tramp, and the Railroads.

Writer'S who have studied the prob
lem agree that tramps could not exist
in the present numbers without the
railroads. They afford means for
tramps to get from place to place.
From time to time the railrods have
succeeded in enlisting the coopera-
ton of various communities In punish
ing tramps with very good results. but
instances Of this zeal on the part Of
municipalities have been too sporadic
to accomplish any permanent good.
The vagrant problem has been
solved in other countries. notably in
Switzerland. by establishing labor COL

voluntary labor. II tho tramp is a

IOWA FARMS ANO FARMERS.

A study Of the distribution of Iowa
farms by size groups in the last cen
sus reports discloses the fact that the
greatest actual and relative gain in
number from 1900 to 1910 was made
In the "3 to acres" group. The
some agriculture is carried on is re-
ported as only about twofifths as
great as 10 years ago. This decrease
may be due TO a different Interpretation
by the enumerators as to what to in
clude as a small farm, or may repre-
sent an actual decrease in that type
Of farm. The farms which fall in the
groups between 20 and SO acres have
decreased 1880 in number, or 23.5 per
cent; those between It's and 499 acres
have increased 3,412 in number, or
81 per cent; and those which exceed
500 acres in size, representing only IL
per cent of ali farms. have decreased
ga in number.
Prior to the 1910 census no attempt
was made to secure information on
the farm schedules concerning the ma
tivity Of farmers. The latest census
shows the color and nativity of farm
operators by character of tenure for
1910.
Over three-fourths of the Iowa
farmers are native whites, and nearly
cne-fourth foreign born whites. Only
POI, or one tenth of / per cent Of all
farmers, are negroes, no other non
whites being reported. OF the native
white farmers, four out of ten are ten
ants and about six out of ten owners
while among both the negro and the
foreign born white farmers about three
out of ten are tenants and seven on,
of ten owners.

any month this year. Steel production
equals that Of any previous time this
year with Pittsburgh plate and bar
plants operating IS per cent Of ca
pacity.
Further substantial purchases Of pig
iron emphasize the recent favorable
turn in general conditions. The pig
iron output during November declined
only slightly to 1,999,433 tons. or 66,64s
tons a day. as. against 67,S11 tons in
the proceeding month, according to the
Iron Age. On Dec. /, 211 furnaces
were in blast. as compared with 212
on Nov. 1, 213 on Oct. I. and 1875 on
Aug. l. Activity has been pronounced
in all markets of late, especially in
foundry grades. Tin mills are resum-
ing, with contracts on hand for about
60 per cent of capacity.
Corn and wheat declined last week.
Heavy receipts and heavy liquidation
Of wheat caused the drop and c. Il
reacted in sympathy. The guess Of
Spectators is that heavy receipts in
the northwest indicate larger crop Of
wheat than estimated. Arrivals of
wheat at western points last week ex-
ceeded the movement a year ago, 1881
40S bushels comparing with 4.105,317,
while exports from all ports of the
United States, -four included, were q
S74,1S2 bushels against 2,711,530 in
1910. Corn again receded in value in
sympathy with wheat and in response
to liberal country offerings. Receipts
Of corn this week Of 5,091,339 bushels,
however, fell below the 5,456.S21 shown
last year. and Atlantic coast shipments
were only 12s.620 bushels as compared
with 154.042 in the earlier period.
Viewed from various angles the out
look does not promise extraordinary
expansion in industrial lines, but con-
ditions warrant the statement that
there should be general Improvement.
How far-reach ching and permanent this
may be depends altogether upon de-
veioc::ents Serious obstacles already
have been overcome.

THE FIELD OF BUSINESS.

Recent gains in the leading indus
tries and trades are maintained. and
the Improvement is clearly reflected in
the statistics OF bank clearings, which
last week increased 1873 per cent over
1910 and 1871 over 1909 outside New
York, and 5.6 and IL per cent. respec-
lively, in New York. Retail trade,
particularly for the holidays, is ex-
panded by the generally favorable
weather, but jobbing trade, as Is nat
ural now, is somewhat quieter. Never
theless the dry goods market in most
of it's departments, both cotton and
wool, fairly maintains the recent i'm
provement. Continued progress is
made in the iron and steel markets,
with railroad orders still the main pron
OF the Improvement, and the prevailing
feeling that further cuts in prices are
unlikely, contributes to the better con-
ditions that exist. Leather is quiet,
but continues strong. Hides are weak,
Business confidence has been strength
ened by the recent turn in the dis
cussion Of pending economic issues. AL

THE FRUIT OF INSANITY.
[Sioux City Journal,


Inflammatory appeal to prejudice and
passion ought to be cried down by re-
sponsible public sentiment. The peo-
pie of the United States are better
qualified for government than ever
before in the history of the republic.
What they need is fair statement. They
need leadership that will trust
them with the facts. There has been
much talk of trusting the people and
there has been passionate struggle to
take away from the people opportunity
to pass intelligent and honest judy
ment. There are always those in time
OF excitement who lose their heads
and some OF these, under the penalty OF
the law, suffer in a literal way the ex-
IRENE penalty. The misguided, the
foolish, the actual criminal, are quickly
deserted when guilt is established
against them. The assassin. the incen-
diary and the dynamiter are not alone
responsible. They have been appealed
to in the name Of justice. The wrongs
OF classes have been ground into them.
They have been made drunk with re-
taliatiation and revenge. But they can
not count Oil banking under exposure.
Capital and labor Join hands In defense
and together the crimes OF the guilty
are denounced. What is needed is
healthful public Observation-Disclosures
that will place a gag in the mouth OF
the transformer willing to incite the
weak to heinous crime II thereby ne
may make a point in the reckless game
he plays. The offense In the infiamma-
tory appeal in time Of peace and or
derby government stands forth hideous-
~ in a time Of revelation and Its VIC
tins. Instead Of making the govern
ment better, the result Is to shock
the moral sensibilities of mankind. il
is pitiful when victims in possession OF
the strong arm Of the law plead that
they thought they were doing right
The record Of crime made up in recent
weeks is appalling. Men have been
taught to believe in the impotency OF
law, and they have been taught that
powerful influences were in league to
rob the poor. Disorderly minds have
added exaggeratior and they have been
made blind to every interest intimately
associated with their lives. The s.:::s
is now when moderation should have
rule. The time is now for many teach.
ers and leaders to reform.
