1t is significant, however, that the
toll of death in the aviation world
has been mainly taken from the dar-
ing performers at public exhibitions,
men who for a price were ready to
furnish the public the thrills and SEN
sations for which it Graves. How
far these performers definitely help
toward the solution of the structural
and other problems that go to make
up so large part of the triumphs of
modern aviation it would be difficult
to determine, and it would be equally
impossible to estimate with accuracy
the proportion which the enormous
death list in 1910 bears to the daily
increasing number of users of the
aeroplane. This number is variously
estimated at from 1000 to 5000, and
if the latter estimate is correct the
total accidents must be considered in
relation to the larger number How
ever this may be, the aviation meet
of today has come to have a certain
horrid attraction to those who fear
to see a fellow human being fall to
his death, but whose dread is not
sufficient to overcome their morbid
curiosity and their passion for ex-
citement.-Public Ledger.

THE BOOK.

The book l love in winter time s
printed black and white,
A book to read before the fire upon
chilly night;
A tale of high adventuring, a tale OF
woe and joy.
With many pictures intermixed, the
kind that suits boy.
A ship, cruise, a lad at sea, a pur-
pose to defend.
And everything to come Alright before
the story's end.
But when the summer time is here
love another book,
Not told upon a printed page, but
gurgled by brook
And whispered by the eager pines.
and thundered by the sea,
And gossiped in dialect by every
passing bee.
There is no story in the world which
| have ever seen
To equal Natures volume, where the
leaves are all of green.
The book is ever open at the most
exciting page,
To suit the reader old or young, OF
any taste and age;
The pictures are in colors fair, tho
plot is ever new
However wild or wonderful, you
know it all is true.
The book will last a lifetime long,
and best of all, my friend,
Each summer tits continued" and it
never has an end!

Distribution of Food.

The Secretary of Agriculture, as
the result of his study of the prices
of food, concludes that our farms are
fairly holding their own, and that
while the farmer is getting higher
prices than he formerly did, he re-
ceives no greater and perhaps even
a less percentage of the ultimate
price of his product to the consum-
er. The greater proportion of in
crease, Mr.. Wilson concludes, is the
cost of distribution. If the farmer
sold directly to the consumer, ac-
eording to the Philadelphia Ledger,
or if the consumer would buy direct
ly from the farmer, he would not
have to pay so much.
1t could have required no pro-
longed investigation to prove this.
1t is self-evident that in the indus
trial development of the country
and especially in the growth of
great cities, the majority of the pop
ulation is more and more removed
from its source of supply and dis
tribution becomes an increasing ele-
ment of cost.
1t is within memory that Philadel-
phia was fed mainly from the farms
in the immediate neighborhood. The
farmers brought their own products
to market reserving enough to feed
their own families. The families of
these farmers now, if they still
maintain the Farms, order their pro-
visions in town and have them de-
livered by rail or by motor-vans.
Instead of buying country hams
from the farmer, we buy, as he
does, hams that have been prepared
in Chicago and shipped across the
country to a wholesale dealer who
supplies the retailer with whom we
deal The hams are great deal
better than those that mother used
to buy; but whether so or not, the
fact remains that if we want hams
we must get them from a distance
and must pay the cost of bringing
them here. We cannot buy them
from the neighboring farmer, be-
cause he can put his energies to
more profitable use than raising
hams
Multiply this single instance in
definitely. We used to buy eggs
from the farmer, when he had them.
When the hens were not laying, we
did without eggs. Now we must all
have plenty of eggs all the year
round, and we get them; but we
have to pay somebody for keeping
them in storage and distributing
them to the shops-and even to the
farms. 1t would be much nicer to
buy all these things directly from
the farmer, but he rarely has them
to sell. The "middleman" may be
extortionate and obnoxious, but if
it were not for him none but the
very rich could have any eggs at all.
Secretary Wilson thinks that
cooperative association of consum-
ers might send out and buy provis-
ions on the farm, thus avoiding the
middleman's charges. So it might,
perhaps; but cooperation will have
to reach much higher development
before such an association can COM
pete economically with the highly
organized produce business. The
Secretary's advice upon agriculture
has more practical Importance than
his suggestions on distribution.
These are of value chiefly in the rec
ognition that distribution is at least
as difficult part of the food prob
lem as production.

"ExTRA! FINAL EXTRA!!"

For the first time in the history
Of Wayne County. two issues of a
shire paper were printed and dis
tributed i'm one afternoon. As may
be readily imagined, it was THE
CITIZEN, with its usual characteris-
tic enterprise, that accomplished the
feat. The first Extra" was printed
and folded and wrapped up in bum
dies in time to catch the early after
noon trains, and by evening from one
end of the county to the other, people
were reading the first reports of the
famous "Lord murder trial. now in
progress. The names of the nine
jurors chosen up to noon, and a full
account of the mornings proceed
ings appeared in the first edition.
Less than an hour after the con-
eIusiOn of the afternoon session of
court, the linotype was clicking
away, and the rumble of the press
was heard, and by supper time, the
people of Honesdale were enjoying
the Final Extra " which was the
enly paper that contained full ac-
count of the afternoons proceedings
and the only one that published the
District Attorneys charge in full.
THE CITIZEN has had a wonder
full past and it is "Iustier" now than
at any time in its history. This is
the time to subscribe!

The Order of the Golden Horseshoe.


This was the first order founded in
America, and the story of its origin
is told in a rare book, to be found
only in a few Libraries, the present
State of Virginia." written by the
Rev. Hugh Jones, chaplain to the AS
sembly in jamestown, and published
in London in the year 1924.
Virginia then extended from the
Atlantic into the unknown West, but
very few of her colonists had cross
ed the Blue Ridge or the Alleghenies.
So full of dangers from savages and
wild beasts, and so full of natural
difficulties was the passage of these
terrible heights, that the chaplain
tells us with awe of the setting out
of Governor Spotswood to discover a
pass, attended by a guard of Sold
iers Gentlemen and Pioneers" carry
ing provisions.
They scaled the pass with great
hardships and peril and returned, the
Governor having cut upon the rocks
on the highest peak the name of
King George
He then constituted the society, or
order, of the Golden Horseshoe. Each
man who had scaled this high pass
was made member of it, and to
each one he presented a golden
horseshoe. On the side were the
words, "Sic juvat transcendere mon
tes' ESQ it pleases him to cross
mountains").
Any gentleman thereafter who
could prove that he had read with
his own eyes the name of the king
upon the height was entitled to be-
come a member of this order.

Red Gum Lumber.


Acting in concert with some of the
largest lumber dealers in this coun-
try the United States forestry SER
vice took up the matter of the red
gum lumber of the Southern States in
the endeavor to acquaint it of the
charges which had been made
against it. 1t has long been regard
ed as one of the most beautiful of
the woods of this country, but it's
behavior in use was not all that
could be asked for. 1t was known
to split and warp in such manner
that it was never made use of eX-
cept for temporary purposes. Even
for this there was very little of 1t
cut. The results of the investiga-
tion and experiment which ensued
was that it was learned that if the
wood were properly treated it could
be relied on just as much as any of
the more favorably known woods. 1t
was discovered that the wood must
be treated a little differently in pill
ing and drying and that a double
drying process was necessary. That
is, after being reduced to boards it
should stand in the air for one year
and then given an additional treat
ment in the kiln. In this manner the
wood was deprived of nearly all of
it's water content. In its green con-
dition it weighs 4,750 per 1000 feet,
while after the double drying treat
ment it weighs $500 pounds. Red
gum that weighs 1-3 pounds per
foot will be found entirely trust
worthy as far as it's future conduct
is concerned. 1t will not twist, warp
or crack. When cut it has the ap-
pearance of mahogany or birch and
is capable of being treated with al
most any of the wood stains in use.

PENNY LUNCHES AT SCHOOL.
Nourishing Food for Pittsburg
Youngsters

Pittsburg, Pa.-Hot, satisfying
lunches for the pupils of the Spring
field public schools are now a real
ity. Yesterday for the first time in
Pittsburg's history hungry mouths
were filled in a public school building
at prices which suited even the most
humble chap in the district. The
project, the dream for many weeks
past of the Council for Jewish
Women, which inaugurated the
movement, opened with splendid sue
cess. More than 100 clamoring chill
dren, each clutching tightly in a
small fist the precious penny, were
served.
1t was a great day for the young
sters. The novelty of the plan pro-
duced wide-eyed amaZement among
them. They bought their first lunch
shyly, but healthy appetites soon dis
PEELED the air of restraint. Then the
big lunch room which has been fitted
up in the Springfield school building
fairly rang with juvenile enthusiasm.
Three big tables, one bearing shiny
new cups steaming with cocoa, an
other with plates of big, fat, hot
roast beef sandwiches, and a third
fairly outshining any Christmas tree
with its brave array of bananas and
ginger snaps, awaited the children at
the noon hour yesterday Rows of
benches, built in proper proportions
for small legs and childish bodies,
surrounded three sides of the big
room. Ten women of the council,
beaming with satisfaction and pride
at the success of their plan, hustled
about distributing plates, comforting
shy ones and quelling the turbulent
outbreaks of bad boys.
Then the children all had their
pictures taken.
The opening of the penny lunch
was sort of gala occasion. Several
well-known business men dropped in
to watch the proceedings and gazed
with interest at the spectacle of some
100 or so childish appetites being
satisfied

The Cost of Aviation.

The death, on the last day of 1910,
of two of the worlds most daring
aviators marked the close of the
most memorable period since the be-
ginning of mans serious attempt to
solve, by the aid of heavier-than-air
machines, the problem of aerial
flight. 1t requires no more than a
glance at the records achieved
during the last twelve months to
show that extraordinary progress was
made toward the attainment of man S
conquest over the air." but this was
at a price in human life which raises
the question whether what has been
gained was worth the cost. 1t is,
perhaps, impossible that anything
like satisfactory answer can be Civ
en- to such query, but it is certain
that the fatal termination of so
many flights last year will hardly act
as a deterrent while the rewards held
out to the aviators are so tempting.
When comparison is made between
the records of 1909 and of the year
just closed it might be said that 80
human lives is not too much to pay.
These are the GUlrnc.
