HE SOLD HIS EMPLOYERS BUT
TER,

Jay Bradley Rawleigh, aged forty
of sherman, Scott township, a but
termaker in the employ of the
branch creamery in that town, own
ed and operated by G. Smith & Sons,
Seelyville, was arrested last Monday
by Constable II. C. Geer, charged
with selling butter belonging to his
employers, and taken before Squire
Smith of Sherman, where he pleaded
guilty to the accusation, and was
committed to the Wayne county jail,
in default of bail, to await the ac-
tion of the October grand jury.
Rawleigh who is a single man,
came to Sherman last March, where
he secured employment in the cream
cry at his trade of buttermaking. 1t
is said that he sold a lot of butter
without giving any account of it,
and pocketed the proceeds, which
amounted to about $45.
When confronted with the evil
dence of his guilt, he broke down
and admitted the crime. Nobody
being wiling to go his bail he was
taken to Honesdale Tuesday after
noon by Constable H. G. Geer and
turned over to Sheriff NJ. Lee Bra
man for safe keeping.

HEADS BOARD
HOneSdaIe Man Elected
President Of State Hos
pital Trustees.
BUSY YEAR AT THE INSTTTU-
TION; ia PATIENTS TAKEN
CARE OF DAILY.

Hon. E. B. Hardenbergh, of
Honesdale, was elected president of
the board of trustees of the State
Hospital of the Northern Anthracite
| Coal Regions, at the postponed an
| nual meeting of the trustees held at
noon Tuesday. Other officers elect
ed were: Vice-president, DR.. A. j.
Connell; treasurer, Mortimer B.
! Fuller; secretary and assistant
treasurer, P. Silas Walter. Commit
tees were also named as follows:
Executive committee, Mortimer B.
| Fuller, DR.. A. J. Connell, DR.. w. G.
Frank HUMMER; training school
| committee, Mortimer B. Fuller; Dr.
w. G. Fulton, Bishop Hoban, DR.. A.
j. Connell and P. Silas Walter;
house committee, DR.. w. G. Fulton;
Dr. A. j. Connell and P. Silas Wal
ter. The board had been without
president since the death of Au-
gust Robinson several months ago.
The board of trustees of the hos
pital is as follows: Hon. E. B. Har-
denbergh, former Deputy Attorney
General Frederic w. Fleitz, Dr. A. j.
Connell, Mortimer B. Fuller, Bishop
Hoban, Frank HUMMER, DR.. w. G.
Fulton, P. Silas Walter and Henry
f. Manner, of MontroSe.
The treasurers report, as sub
mitted by Mr.. Fuller, shows that for

pital income from state appropria-
tions and all other sources was $685.
1880. The total expenditures were
$73, 514.65, an excess of $10,394.75
over the receipts.
The year was the busiest in the
history of the hospital, 2,307 patti
ents having been admitted during
the twelve months and an aggregate
of 43,17S days spent in the hospital
by in-patients, exclusive of dispen-
sary cases. The average cost per
day per patient was $1.69, an ex-
tremely low figure, when it is taken
into consideration that all hospital
expenses, except new buildings, are
charged up to the maintenance of
the in-patients. e....r
| During the ysar there were 3,004
dispensary cases and 5,496 dispen-
sary visits. The average number of
| patients in the hospital each day
in the year was ia, and an average
of fifteen dispensary cases were TAX
en- care of daily. The training school
| maintained at the hospital has a
present enrolment of forty pupil
nurses, under the supervision of five
| head nurses.

THESE ARE SOME RADIsHEs.

When some months ago John
Yingst, who lives near Manada Gap,
found several hens eggs in his coop
that were larger than the ordinary
goose egg, the whole neighborhood
pondered over the find for sometime
and finally decided that there is evil
IDENTIFY something in the air around
that Gap, that is responsible for such
things.
Now the community is all agog
again; this time the village seers and
wise men blame it on the soil. The
latest discovery was unearthed by e.
r. Stoey who was getting some pro-
duce ready for market Saturday. He
dug up some giant radishes, several
of which were more than a foot long
The real surprise of the day was turn
ed up however when Stoey reached
the end of the lot and had to dig this
out with pick axe.
This was a radish that measured
twenty-three and seven-eighth in
ches in circumference.

THE GROWTH OF
HONESDALE

Honesdale has maintained it's full
proportion of the marvellous growth
of Pennsylvania industries, as set
forth in preliminary report of the
18th United States census.
During the past decade the indus
tries in Honesdale and vicinity,
(within a radius of one mile of the
borough proper) have grown from
twenty-nine in 1900, to forty-nine in
1910. AS far as known it is believed
that there is no town in the State
that has made as rapid strides indus
trially as Honesdale. In this time
there was established eight cut glass
factories, two shoe shops, two ma
chine shops, muslin underwear
factory, knitting mills, concrete block
establishment, milk shipping station,
cold storage, grist mill, decorated
glassware, and soft drink bottling es-
tablishment. The above make a
good showing and tell something of
the progressiveness of the palce.
These factories, together with those
alrady established, represent all
quality goods and has won for the
town reputation that cannot be
beaten. g If it's made in Honesdale
it's good" is slogan that is known
from the Atlantic to the Pacific and
from the Gulf to Canada.
Honesdale goods are or have been
used in almost every household in
the United States and in some famil-
les it's woolen blankets, shoes, knit
and muslin goods, glassware and
silks help form a part of the neces-
stiles of life
Honesdale is an ideal town for
manufacturers to locate. The place
affords the purest of mountain air
and its water is good. 1t contains
no limestone which makes it invalu-
able for boiler purposes The ad-
vantages in Honesdale are many. The
freight rates have recently been
changed on the Erie railroad placing
Honesdale from Philadelphia to a
Scranton rate point on all western
shipments. The former first-class
rate to Chicago has been reduced 10
per cent.
Honesdale is the place in which to
live. The wedge for greater, big
ger and better Honesdale was driven
in last Thursday nights council meet
ing when the initiatory was taken
along the line of annexation to
Honesdale by several families living
on the border lines. When Homes
dale takes in Texas township, the
population will appear in census ac-
counts what in reality 1t is $500;
whereas now it is but 5000.
All work for Greater Honesdale.
