Will Go After Black Hand.

1t is reported that in the near
future United States secret service
agents will be sent to Wilkes Bar
re to break up the Black Hand
gangs that are flourishing in this
region. These Italians are not
supposed to be part of the regular
Black Hand society, or Malta, but
are believed to be a few men gather
ed together for the purpose of ex-
torting money from Italians or
Americans under the guise of that
organization. From the extent of
the extent of their criminal offenc-
es in the country from Bernice to
Wilkes Barre and Pittston, through
t.4e mining regions, it is plain that
rigid methods should be taken to
exterminate the gang.

Today (Friday) and April 2S,
are the days designated by Govern
or Tener as Arbor Days. Reckon
this date is rather early for the
planting of trees and shrubs but it
is a good time to begin planning on
a fitting celebration when the lat
ter date arrives. For a number of
years governors of this state have
encouraged this work in the schools
and as result many of the school
surroundings are rid of that barren
look that fairly encourages "hookey
playing" among the youthful
scholars. Make the place beauti-
full and agreeable to the youngsters
and the tasks, which at best are
arduous when the summer days
approach, will be more easily mas
tered.
