BOARD OF TRADES RESERVE
FUND A STEP IN THE RIGHT
DIRECTION FOR "GREAT-
TER HONESDALE."

The following article which is
taken verbatim from the Great
Bend Plaindealer shows that ST.
AIS WAS RAISED BY THE BOARD
OF TRADE OF THE TOWN OF
HALLSTEAD TO INDUCE THE
HERBECK-DEMER co. TO MOVE
FROM HONESDALE THERE. 1T
ALSO SHOWS THAT SOME SEVEN
HUNDRED DOLLARS MUST STILL
BE RAISED AND 1T IS THOUGHT
THAT THE BOARD OF TRADE
WILL HAVE LITTLE DIFFICULTY
IN RAISING 1T.
IN VIEW OF THE RECENT RE-
PORT ADOPTED BY THE HOMES
DALE BOARD OF TRADE TO
CREATE A RESERVE FUND FOR
THIS VERY PURPOSE THIS AR
TICLE is ESPECIALLY APROPOS.
THE FACTS SPEAK FOR THEM
SELVES. NO COMMENT is
NEEDED. STILL, IF WE ARE
EVER TO WATCH HONESDALE
GROW INTO "GREATER HOMES
DALE" SOMETHING MUST BE
DONE AND DONE QUICKLY TO
REMEDY THE LOSS SUSTAINED
BY THE TOWN IN THE RECENT
REMOVAL OF THE THREE OR
FOUR FLOURISHING INDUSTRIES
WHICH HAVE GONE TO OTHER
TOWNS WHERE IT WOULD AP-
PEAR, THEY ARE BETTER AP-
PRECIATED.-Ed. Note.
At a special meeting of the direc-
tors of the Hallstead and Great
Bend Board of Trade held in Clune's
Hall Tuesday afternoon the question
nf f1,n
the completion of the factory build
ings for the Herbeck-Demer Co. was
fully discussed.
1t appears that at the time the
preliminary plans were drawn it was
thought that the heating and
plumbing could be put in the plant
for about $1,000 but it was later
found essential to install a larger
boiler and some other necessary ad-
ditions so that when the contracts
were offered for bids, the lowest
bids received were about $500 more
than the original estimates. In ad-
dition to this increase the expendi-
ture for rails, freights and some
other charges were more than had
been figured upon. There is also
shrinkage of about 800 on the
SuDSCIlpIlOH llSI. III all II was
found that it will be necessary for
the Board of Trade to raise about
S775 more in order to complete the
contracts.
Committees were appointed and
lists made up of the property own
ers and citizens who had not already
subscribed to the fund, and a can
vass will be made this week to Sc
cure the amount necessary.
The buildings are nearing COM
pletion and the factory will be in
operation in short time. 1t should
be a matter of pride to the citizens
of Hallstead and Great Bend to
know that the buildings are pro-
nounced by experts as far and away
the best designed and equipped Cut
Glass Factory in the state or any
where in the country
1t ought to be an easy matter to
raise the amount needed to CON-
plete the buildings and if the citi-
zens, who have not yet contributed
will do their share it will not fall
heavily upon any one.
A subscription list is open at the
First National Bank where any one
desiring to subscribe before the
committee calls may hand in their
names. Let every one do their part
and close the matter up in a day

Pretty Fine Scratches.

Most people consider a polished sur.
face as something absolutely smooth
that is, something with no scratches
on 1t whatever. To polish thing,
however, the very reverse is done to it.
1t Is filed with very fine scratches
All eyeglass lenses, glass for mirrors,
furniture, ETC., are rubbed with fine
emery paper and later with an ex-
tremely fine powder which gives the
finishing touches in the shape of very
fine scratches. Now the question arises
as to just how fine the scratches must
be--that is, how far apart they must
be, for big scratches good distance
apart give anything but polished sur.
face. The answer is that the scratches
or ridges between must be less than
one-quarter the wave length of the
light that falls on the surface for the
light to be reflected and thus give the
effect of a polished surface. This is
less than one o-hundred-thousand
Of an inch for light waves. No break
ing up of the waves Is caused. and
they consequently are reflected in their
original form.-New York Tribune.

timore, the revivalists, were invited
to the home of good brother and SIS

it transpired that the sister had had
a sinister purpose in issuing the in
vitation, for she said "Mr. Jones,
wish you'd tell my husband that smok-

but he won't believe it. l wish you'd
tell him. and it might have some in
fluence over him."
"No. sister," said Jones, who was
himself an inveterate smoker, II can't
tell him that. Smoking Injuries only
the human brain. And he hasn't any
brain to injure. or he wouldn't have
married you. Now. sister, came here
to eat-that is what was invited for
not to lecture. So if you'll carve that
