"NALEDICTORN."
Gulu RiCkard.)

Four years ago, the class of 1912
entered the Honesdale High school,
as Freshmen The ceaseless march
of time has brought US to that point
where our ways must part. Inc
hour has come when we must say
"good-bye." Therefore, dear friends
as we are about to take leave of
these. the happiest years Of our life.
l ask you to loiter with me in one
last word of retrospect and farewell.
Honorable members of the School
Board, who have made these grad
uating exercises possible, this even
ing, dear friends, and teachers: The
value of the training we have receiv-
ed while at school will soon be tried
by the severe test of the world. If
we had gained nothing more than
book learning during our course, ac-
quiring knowledge, which could not
be put to the practical test, our
time indeed, would not have been
well spent. But guided by you dear
teachers. who have taught us not
alone the knowledge of books, but OF
life itself, we pass into the great
world of realities. From you it is we
have gained our highest ideals, our
noblest aspirations; our gratitude
and respect will be yours forev +.
We have formed friendships which
will never be forgotten as long as
life endures. Now, in behalf of the
class of 1912, | bid you a fond
farewell.
Fellow Classmates: The saddest
and most difficult part of my task is
now at hand. Tonight as We go our
several ways, one chapter in our
lives will be closed forever. Placed
before you in letters of red and gold
is the class motto, "a posse ad esse,
translated, meaning From Posi-
bility to Reality" This is the motto
by which our footsteps have been
guided the past year. We are about
to leave the possibilities of school
life, and the future replete with
before us. What it has in store for
us We cannot tell but what ever sue
cess we may attain we should never
forget the debt we owe our dear
Alma Mater" For after all the
closing Of this chapter of our lives
2ans only the opening of still
more interesting and striking one
Let us cherish the friendships We
have made Aere and be true to them
always. And let us never forget
that the same principals and virtues
which guided US heretofore will like
wise serve us faithfully in all new
undertakings. Now, with a heart
overfiowing with both JOY and sor-
row-Joy | say at our success and
sorrow at our parting bid you
goodbye"

HOT WAVE COVERS STATE;
MUCH DISCOMFORT FELT

While the people of this valley are
experiencing much discomfort from Tho
hot wave which has prevailed for the
last three or four days, they can have
what consolation they can find in the
fact that the same experience has been
the lot of every part of the state.
Wednesday was the hottest day of
the year in San Francisco, with tenn
seven degrees of the record heat or
that city.
Throughout interior California the
weather has been extremely hot, and
Los Angeles and other southern coast
cities have had similar experience.
While this is an extreme case, it is
not unusual for the latter half of Sep
temb to bring, a very warm spell,
summer, and there is every reason to
believe that the hot days will be few.
The San Bernardino Sun says: Sum :
mer is here at last. Three months or
is here, for the thermometer yesterday
broke all records for the year and reg
iStered the hottest day.
1T was just 105 degrees.
This is the record taken from the
thermometer at the government shell

duced 105-degree weather. June, July
and August slipped away with regu-
lar spring weather that produced no
lo5 days. Twice in August the weather
man Sol DuSy, Dul IL was just d pass

SECRETS OF COMMON POISONS

| Leonard X. Hirshberg, NJ. D.: To
the average man or woman the word
/ poison means something that kills"
[ To the scientist poison is something
| which, under controlled conditions,
makes by chemical action some change
in living tissue, in way that inter
teres temporarily. or permanently with
what that tissue or organ usually
does"
Z When an acid merely Fuckers the
lips il is not poison. But when tn
point where the lips cannot for a time
/ do their expected work. then the lips
are said to be poisoned.
When indiscreet persons kiss little
babies, and transfer their ever-present
microbic inhabitants to the infants. and
no infection arises, poisoning cannot
PLY. the kiss sets up sore throat
or cough, bacterial poisoning has
occurred.
It is then easily understood that such
habitually used poisons as coffee, tea
tobacco, alcohol, are really poisons only
when the blood, brain or Drawn is all
tered. In old age, infancy and debil-
ity their toxicity is plainly discern
moi always perfect. ii may also be CON
cluded that such drinks are more often
poisonous than otherwise.
RattleSnake or reptile venom gem
orally is harmless when taken through
the stomach. Entering through a mi
ute abrasion made by the fangs of
the serpent, SW elilnS, SuiIOcatlOn ana
collapse may follow. In the country
permanganatc of potash should be al
ways available For when scratched
into such a wound the venom is rem
dered innocuOus.
Beware of the whisky-snakc bite
delusiOn. Whisky merely duiis tho
senses and diSguiSeS the pain. 1t aids
the venom to action and causes more
deaths when given as an antidote than
snake bites themselves.
Some pOisOns such as morphine. al
cohol and nicotine have the curious
property Of forming anti-tissue neu
traliZers. That is, their action upon
the human body is much like that of
disease germs. The individual becomes
immune to small doses, at the same
for the drug. When your son comes
home some fine day and is unaccOunt-
ably pale, sick at the stomach and
groaning, you may safely conclude
that he has smoked his first cigar
or cigaret. He is poisoned by nico-
tine.
After the first smoke or the first
drink the body juices begin to manu-
facture excessively those strange anti
bodies, that tend ever afterward to
crave the particular cigar or beer that
established the first violent reaction.
40 matter how active the poison,
a healthy person will always find his
or her body making a desperate eff
fort to counteract it. The stomach
battles valorously to expel carbolic
cohol and whisky. The intestines
bring up reinforcem ents in the way of
a ferment or secretion to rend Vitriol,
muriatic or other acids harmless.
Mineral acids such sulphuric, nj
tric, aqua regia and muriatic are at
once destroyed by ammonia or soda.
These form salts and soaps. These
antidotes must be given quickly, or

4. :. WILL CURB AMATEUR
TALK VIA WIRELESS

Los ANGELES, Sept. 20.-Amateur
wireless telegraphers must only "whis-
per" through the air hereafter. This
is positive order from the United
States government, which has begun
the regulation of the air well as
the land and water.
Within the next few months all the
wireless telegraphy plants in Southern
California not engaged in government,
commercial or scientific work, Will be
ordered diSmantled or so weakened
that their range will be limited TO
comparatively small distance. This or
der is declared by government author
tiles to be imperative because of the
persist ent "fogging" of the atmosphere
by the amateurs
II is declared that Los Angeles and
the vicinity have an especially large
number of non professional wireless
operators who have surcharged the at
mosphere with wild Hertzian waves
at almost all hours IF the night and
day. Some of the stations have been
so powerful as to be able to pick up
u message as quickly as commercial
stations.
In the future, however, all such sta
tions will be reduced in power to one
kilowatt. And the ruling goes still
further in restricting their air mussing
activities 50 that large bulk of the
amateurs will be prohibited from using
their outfits except under the most
limited conditions.

rived at San Pedro on the North Pa
cific steamer George w. Elder and
sailed on the same steamer last even
ing for San Diego, where he will be-
gin the campaign in Southern Cali
fOrnia. He will return later in the
week and will make an inspection of
all wireless plants, amateur, CONNER
cial and scientific, and issue warnings
to the amateurs to cease operations or
change their apparatus to conform with
the government regulations.
Failure to observe the regulations
that viii go into effect next December
will mean cOniiscatiOn by the govern

amateur plants have been cleaned out
pretty well in and around san Fran
cisco, and it is our intention to clear
Southern California next. While the

THE CASE OF iPRICOTS

Continuing the series of articles
discussing various fruits. as related to
Imperial valley, one of the fruits most
worthy of consideration is the apricot.
The apricot is one of the fruits most
commonly grown in California and one
which takes a wide range Of quality.
1t is grown alike for shipment fresh
from the trees and for canning
The history of the apricot in Califor-
MIA takes wide range Of alternating
prosperity and depression. and in
southern California it never has ranked
as a particularly big winner. because
i is produced in such quantities that
il often is drug on the market
But the apricot is one Of the staple
fruits on the market. and as related to
Imperial valley il would be a remark
able fruit. in that it would be the first
fresh fruit on the American market
coming in ahead of cantaloupes and
grapes even.
II is no small possibility to be able
to place on the American markets 50
popular fruit as the apricot and have
the market barren for three Or four
weeks of everything else that would
act as a competitor.
AHdL lHlS NdIleE can produce some
Of the finest apricots grown has been

become very apparent that great care
is necessary in irrigating the trees.
which are sensitive to water on a hot
day.
These two facts stand out. then:
With proper care and knowledge of
the requirem ents, there is an immense
field for the growth of apricots; but to
the careless grower or to the person
who has not carefully studied the
needs of the tree there is danger of
loss of orchard on any hot day through
carelessness in the use of water.
With this fruit it is evident that the
main object point should be to produce
a good quality at the earliest posi-
BILE date. for time is the chief element
Of the command of the market.
during recent years sew
eral varieties Of fine early fruit have
been developed. and earliness does not
now imply inferiority as it did several
years ago. The selection of varieties
IS important, and it is desirable that
those about to plant should make care
ful inquiry among those who have sue
ceeded in growing the fruit

CATTLE SHORTAGE MAY
Be FELT THIS WINTER

Is the valley to experience a short
age of cattle to be fattened this win
ter? Walter A. Waggoner says this
is to be the case. Other cattle men
might not take quite so pronounced a
view of the situation, but he believes
there will not be enough beef cattle
in the valley to eat the feed.
should this be the case, however,
the Press believes it would encourage
the bringing in Of more dairy stock,
and that there would be found an am
pie demand for the feed.
If it should happen that there was
surplus of feed this year it would
be the first time since the valley has
been extensively in the cattle business,
and the experience would be a de-
cided contrast with last winter.
Mr.. Waggoner says the OXnard su-
gar factory is 1000 head of cattle be
hind last seasons record up to this
date, and he cannot see where cattle
are to be obtained for the valley pas
ture. He declares that the great corn
crop in the middle West will-take to
that section every head of cattle that
can be obtained, and he knows of no
stock on the coast that can be brought
here.
This is not given as a pessimistic
view of the situation, but if the facts
warrant this view they should be
known to the farmers and arrange
ments be made to get dairy cows to
make way with the feed.
OF the dairies in the valley now
there are many which do not see suffi-
clent 1eeQ TO carry Inem through TO
the best advantage, and this dairy
stock now in the valley, greatly in
creased from last year, would go a long
way toward making way with the large
crop of feed now in sight.
There are also many persons who
would like to engage in the dairy in
dustry if they could see an abundance
of feed, and it may yet be that milch
cows will be imported from consid-
erable distance to make good the de-
mand for the feed.
There is no question that there will
continue to be a demand on the coast
for the hay of the valley, and in this
connection it is interesting to note
the diversity of opinion one hears eX-
pressed. One person will say the val
ley cannot afford - snip out ton
Of hay-that every bit of it will be
needed; and the next person will point
To the scarcity of cattle and declare
there will be a surplus OF feed.
1t would be well if there was some
organization of producers to make II
careful inquiry into the situation and
weigh all the facts from the stand
