The surveying for the spur goes

there is usually something behind
the move more than desire to get

Some Words of Praise for
the Schools

DR.. A. E. Winship, editorially
speaking in the Journal of Educa.
ton, Boston, in the issue of March
10, says the following:
There is no more fascinating
school study than that presented
on the Iron Range from Ely on the
east, to Coleraine on the west.
1 do not know which is the more
alluring, the wealth or the newness.
Ely is the only city of any age,
and this is only twenty years old.
Here all is nature and conservation
Superintendent G. H. Barnes has
everything in complete form, the
best of everything. His manual
training work challenges compar-
ison with that of any city in the
country and they have by far the
most perfect system of school ac-
counting that 1 have seen any
where. 1 doubt if it can be equalled
in perfection anywhere else in the
world.
Ely has a plan in the domestic
science department that works so
well that it is worth passing along.
Each girl has day of her own.
On a given day, she must provide
a luncheon for ten women for
$1.50. She sells ten tickets to
women of the city for fifteen cents
each. With her $1.5O she must
make up her bill of fare, make her
own purchases in the store of the
city, do her own cooking, set the
table, and serve the dinner. She
must report every detail to the
head of the department and to the
Office with the amount of each
article and the price, with the way
in which each dish was prepared"

life. 1t is hoped that many who
are thinking of the Christian life
may be persuaded to fully decide
for Christ.

The service will begin with song

MINING NOTES

A Tower dispatch of Saturday
says that rock carrying 49,. 80 in
gold has been encountered in the
land controlled by the White Iron
Lake Iron company while explor-
ing for iron. The samples that
were assayed came from a depth of
400 feet, and were diamond drill
cores. The ore also carries some
silver. The rock is from land in
the east half of the northeast quart
er of 4-61-15, and lies between the
North American and the Roy.
The mineral bearing ground is sup
posed to be an extension of the
North American ground in which
gold has been found.

| night by postmaster General Hitch
cock on the analysis of the returns
from the 4S postal savings banks
which have been in operation since
Jan. 80 last. The reports from the
4S second class postofices, where
the postal banks are located, cover
the period from the establishment
of the banks to Feb. %, 1911. In
that time 1928 accounts were
opened and E 1861 separate deposits
were made, the average amount of
each deposit being $21. so.
In the same period only 259 ac-
counts were closed by the drawing
out of the deposits, the total num-
Der of open accounts on Feb. %
being 1864.
The net amount On deposit at
the 48 banks after two months of
operation was $133,S6 If the
same ratio of deposits and with
drawals is maintained for a year,
the amount on deposit at the end of
the year would be $8O3.214.
The aggregate population of all
the 48 cities in which postal saw
ings banks thus far have been es-
tablished is Approximately 100000.
Statistical experts of the postofice
department have estimated that if
the postal savings system should be
patronized in the same proportion
when it is established at all money
order postofHces, the total amount
on deposit after one years oper-
alton would be about $500, 900. 900.
Postmaster General Hitchcock
is engaged now in preparing for
the establishment of ESQ additional
postal savings banks, an appro-
priation of $5O0,O00 having been
made by the recent congress for
the extension of the system. The
list of cities in which the banks are
to be located probably will be an
nounced in the near future.

to be all as Ia have now been taken

Appropriation For Schools
To Begin In July
DATE CHANGED FROM JUNE UN-
DER PROVISIONS OF NEW
CODE.

Under the provisions of Pennsyl-
vania's new school code the pay
ment of the appropriation for the
support of the school system of the
State will not begin until the first
Monday of July and the first Mon
day of June which for years has
been the time for opening new books
for the distribution of millions, will
pass without notice. The code pro-
vided that the school year should be-
gin on the first Monday of July in
order to facilitate school financial
arrangements, as the State appropri-
alton is paid to reimburse districts
for money spent during the year up
on filing of certified report. In
many districts the school period does
not end until the middle of June, so
that by a July date all districts are
given the same chance in filing re-
ports. In addition to extending the
school year from June 5 to July
this year the code provided for a
new basis of distribution of the ap-
preparation, one-half to be paid on
the number of children and one-half
on the number of teachers. Former
ly the number of taxables was taken
into account.

Woman Manufacturer Of Vegetable Candy Kept
Busy Because of Account in This Paper
REPORTER; AND LETTERS
THE COUNTRY; PENNSYLVANIA
CONGRESSMAN CONGRATULATEs HER.

No story that ever appeared in a
Wayne county newspaper has been
more widely quoted, and more gen.
orally circulated, than the account
of the manufacture of vegetable
candy by Mrs. Ella Gillon, 1414
Spring street, Honesdale, which ap-
peared in the issue of The Citizen
for Friday, April 2S, 1911, and as
a consequence Mrs. Gillon is kept
busy night and day trying to fill the
orders for this wholesome confection
which have resulted from the story
which appeared first in the columns
of this paper.
Metropolitan journals have devot-
ed columns of space to an attempted
description of the secret process by
which she concocts these toothsome
confections, and Mrs. Gillon is kept
busy answering the large CORES
pondence which is pouring in upon
her.
A reporter for The Citizen, who
called at "Gillon's Kitchen" as some
people persist in calling her cosy
residence on Spring street, We'd
nesday afternoon, found Mrs, Gillon
head over ears at work.
81 haven't had breakfast or din
ner to-day" she said, excepting a
taste of my candy once in while.
Don't you think that it must be very
nutritious?"
Mrs. Gillon had just that morning
received a letter enclosing a so
money order from woman in San
Francisco, Cal, who had read about
the wonderful candy in one of the
daily journals of Frisco. Another
letter from a jobber in Mahanoy
City, Pa, lying open on her desk,
stated that the writer had seen in
his daily paper that she was manu-
featuring a certain kind of candy,
that he thought it must be whole
some, and that he would like to be
the first in the field with it,
Another letter and this from a
prominent Pennsylvania Congress
man, congratulated Mrs. Gillon on
ised himself the pleasure, sometime
when he was in Honesdale, of see-
ing her and get some of her candy.
A letter from leading Baltimore,
Md, woman, written on mourning
paper, enclosed a clipping taken
from daily paper of that city
which gave an extended account OF
her culinary discovery.
A lady from st. Louis, Mo-,
wrote; 81 see in the New York Mail
you are making a new candy out OF
vegetables and as l am soon to give
a select reception on which occasion
we always look for something new
l take the liberty to send you here
with 81, for which if you will please
send me a pound box of assorted
kinds by express, collect" Yours
truly, Mrs. F. G. w.
From Alameda, Cal, a woman
wrote stating she had seen in g
newspaper of Mrs. Gillon's new kind
of candy (which must be more

wholesome for babies than ordinary
candies"
There were orders from one of
the greatest health doctors in Phila-
delphia, as we'll as from some dis
tinguished graduate nurses in the
city of Brotherly Love.
A letter from the Wildwood Yacht
Club, North Wildwood, N. j., ac-
knowledged the receipt of candy
sent them, asserted that it certain
ly was good, but l could not tell
from what it was made"
In fact there were letters galore
from all parts of the country, some
asking for samples, and others en-
closing orders for the delicious con-
fections with which she has startled
the candy-eating world.
The Philadelphia Record in COM
menting upon it, in a recent issue,
says that Mrs. Ella Gillon, of
Honesdale, has manufactured some
thing new under the SUM- and states
that "she believes she is the only
person in the world who has found
the secret and she intends manu-
featuring on a large scale"
Mrs. Gillon has secured a large
city even, among her patrons being
bought candy from her two or three
times, says he likes it, considers it
very nutritious and gave her per-
mission to refer people to him.
'Tm improving on the combina-
tions all the WHILE" continued Mrs.
Gillon. Just taste this new kind,
"P. N. P" Then | make Southern
Cream, and it's beautiful. That will
make you feel good. You can eat
carload of that, and it won't hurt
you. It's made out of sweet pota-
toes"
IT'S all in my head" protested
Mrs. Gillon, when urged to reveal
the secret of it's manufacture. 81
am not giving that away. It's hard
work and awfully hard work al
that. Two pounds of candy is all
can make at a time.
81 put some on the stove last
night before going to bed, and had
to get up at o'clock this morning
and fix it.
"They keep me busy And tc
think | get orders, when l only
made it up, in the first place, fol
my own individual use. / had nc
idea of putting it before the public
at the time.
''All I've ever known about cook
ing is experience, and that is one O
the best teachers you can get, dom
you think so?
81 never used a formula in making
anything. / always made it in m!
own way, and have had good sue
cess"
Mrs. Gillon concluded the inter
view by giving the reporter a bal
full of the much-sought-after vege
table candy. Inasmuch as she get
81 for every pound she makes tn,
reporter was delighted to receive it
as you may well imagine.
