OUR BOYS
EDITED BY
ONE EOFTHEM

Every boy ought to be acquainted
with the historical facts of his home
town or township. There are many
interesting features that he can OBJ
tain from old residents in the place
who would be pleased to talk and
tell him things that happened in
days gone by. Damascus township
is one of the many townships in
Wayne county where the Red Man
Travelled. 1t is in this township that
the first blockhouse was built over
100 years ago. Mt. Pleasant town
ship bears historical settings.
There reposes the remains of Samuel
Meredith, the first treasurer of the
United States under the constitu-
ton. Bethany is also an old town.
1t was here that the first newspaper
in Wayne county was published
Honesdale, the county seat of
Wayne, is named for Philip Hone,
one of the first mayors of New York
City. Irving Cliff, that beautiful
majestic sentinel that guards Homes
dale, was named for Washington
Irving, the celebrated writer. 1t was
in Honesdale that the first locomo-
tive in this land first turned a wheel,
a historical fact that no other town
can claim. Honesdale, for many
years, was also the largest coal stor-
ing market in the world. Study your
local surroundings, boys.

Classy Stomach
QUICK RELIEF AND COMFORT.

MI-O-NA is prescription of not
ed specialist, and for quick relief and
permanent cure of all stomach all
ments, no better prescription was
ever written.
MI-O-NA not only builds up and
puts strength and elasticity into the
stomach, but it is a splendid tonic
taht puts rich, red blood into the
veins, and vim, vigor and energy into
the whole body.
If you suffer from headaches, diz-
ziness, biliousness, constipation, in
active liver, nervousness, sleepless-
ness, foul breath, heartburn, short
ness of breath, sour stomach or de-
spondency, try MONA stomach

THE SUM M Err
BOARDER


Among the many advantages af-
forded in Wayne county is that of
taking summer boarders. The op-
portunities offered are far better
than they are in places where larg-
er numbers gather annually and go
home enraptured with the beauties
of Natures garden. Wayne county
is an exceptionally beautiful place
and Honesdale is the ideal town for
capitalists to entertain propositions
for the erection of large summer
hotels on the hills surrounding the
place where the first locomotive first
turned a wheel on the American con-
tinent. Honesdale is historical
town which is all the more reason
why city guests should come here
and get acquainted with the his
torical setting, etc.
Boarders are being entertained at
numerous places in the county and
from now on the guests will con-
tinue to come and go. At George H.
Knapp's country home, Aldenville,
the following Brooklyn guests are
being royalty entertained: Joseph
Yauch, son Joseph, mother, Mrs.
Biggers and sister, Miss Louise Big
gers, Mr.. and Mrs. Schwender and
little daughter, Alice, Mr.. Whig-
more, and e. P. Burns. On Satur-
day Mr.. and Mrs. ]. H. Bateman, of
Carbondale, will spend two weeks
at the Knapp home.

THE AMATEUR
PHOTOGRAPHER

AS announced last week we would
publish a series of articles from the
pen of Frederick Haskins, we take
pleasure in reproducing the second
chapter:
'These starch grains are divided
into three lots, and each lot is dyed,
one orange, another green and the
third violet. These colored grains
are then distributed at random over
a plate covered with sticky trans
parent preparation. The spaces be-
tween the grains of starch are filled
with finely powdered charcoal. An
other plate is then placed over this
mass and pressed against the first
one. This process crushes every
grain of starch, and the result is a
sort of tri-colored mosaic made up of
powdered starch. When the plate is
exposed, green rays of light pass
through the green starch, violet rays
through the violet starch, and orange
rays through the orange starch. In
this way all colors but green are
filtered out of the picture at the
place where the green ought to ap-
pear, and likewise in the case of the
violet and the orange.
AS stated DelOTe, the pnOCO-
graphs made by this color process do
not reproduce all of the colors pos
sessed by any many-colored object
which they represent. Only the prin-
ciple colors may be transferred. In
the eye, nature still possesses the
only Photographic plate which is able
correctly to register the value of all
light rays.
THE aim of the men who are eX-
perimenting in color photography is
to produce Photographic plate
which will duplicate the work of the
painter without involving the long
and tedious processes he must en-
ploy. The main value of the present
sort of color photography is to fur
nish key to correct coloring for the
printer. Formerly when seed es-
tablishment, for instance, wanted to
portray its fruits and vegetables in
their natural colors, it was necessary
to engage an artist to paint the pic
ture of each vegetable and fruit to be
illustrated, his work to be followed
by that of the engraver or lithograph-
er To-day he may make a picture
upon a color plate, and rid himself
of the major portion of the expense
of preparing his seed catalogue"
