are many historical and other points
of interest here. For instance it
was at Honesdale that the first To-
comotive turned a wheel on the
American continent. 1t occurred here
August s, 1929. 1t was the Stour-
bridge Lion and the initial trip was
made on the Delaware and Hudson
railroad. Another item-Honesdale
in the boating days, was the largest
coal supply market in the world, al
though not an ounce of the dusky
diamonds was mined in Honesdale.
1000 tons was shipped daily. 1t
has, however, the largest piece of
coal mined in the anthracite region
on exhibition here. Philip Hone, af-
ter whom Honesdale was named,
might be mentioned. He was one of
the first mayors of New York City.
His visit to this place in 1S41 with
Washington Irving was another note
able event. 1 he old stage coach
days, when wearied passengers ira
veled over mountainside and through
valleys on their way from coast to
coast and stopped at Honesdale for
nights rest, was another interesting
epoch in the history of Honesdale.
AS to scenic views, etc, what more
beautiful and restful picture could
be painted on Natures canvas than
Irving Cliff, with the Lackawaxen
river flowing placidly at it's base, as
viewed from the State bridge. This
alone is worth what it costs from
New York to Honesdale. Then the
beautiful and diversified view from
Irving Cliff. 1t cannot be appreciat-
ed until visited. Then as to manu-
featuring articles having gained
national reputation-there are many
here. The Board OF Trade will use
its utmost power and influence to
get motorists to come to Honesdale
by telling of the many items of in
terest that there are here. In all
events, in another year, Honesdale
will be visited by a number of pleas
ure seekers, all of whom will be a
desirable class of people to have in
any community.

When c. Martin went to the
barn on the farm of Mrs. c. Demar-
est, three miles from Newton, y. j.,
on the Branchville road, Tuesday of
last week, he saw large pilot snake
coiled around the neck of one of his
horses. The reptile had lodged his
teeth in the horses neck and was
tearing at the skin. Martin killed
the snake and found the horse was
not badly hurt.
The heat wave was broken on
Saturday and Sunday by few more
or less general showers. The crops
throughout this section of the state
were in great need of rain and a
continuation of the hot, dry weather
would practically mean destruction to
all plant life. Farmers say that the
berry crop will be very light on ac-
count of the scarcity of rainfall at
the proper time.

sun throws a rainbow that pleases
the eye and adds to the beauty of
the surroundings. Two turtles have
been placed in the basin of the foun-
tain and afford amusement for chill
dren. If a few gold fish were placed
therein it would attract others to
the park. In addition to the above
named aquatic beings the dove of
peace is seen almost daily in the
park. Several pigeons visit the
place, wh@h has a tendency to make
it more attractive. Cupid never
misses a day and his representatives
are always seen evenings.

Honesdale is becoming widely ad-
vertised as recent communications
received by the secretary will signi-
fly. One letter came from a former
Wayne County-ite, who says he no
tices by the papers that Honesdale
has a very progressive Board of
Trade in action now, and that the
Board is extremely interested in
bringing new industries to Homes
dale. The writer continues: "In fact
it was quite an achievement for you
to get the Gurney Electric Elevator
company to locate with you, but |
do not suppose you are going to stop
there" No, the Board of Trade is
not going to stop here. 1t is likened
to the brook that goes on forever.

tries that are looking Honesdale-

Indianapolis, Ind, Oct. 1.--That
war is necessary to develop the
highest physical and moral qualities
of the race is denied by Mrs Elmer
Black, chairman of the Propaganda
Committee, American Peace and Ar

day at the Fourth National Conser-
walton Congress on THE Relation Of
Peace to the Conservation OF HUI
man Resources. She said in part
although the theory has been
very generally held, owing largely
to the active propaganda Of inter
ested parties it is completely ex-
ploded when subjected to either the
test of experience as showa by his
tory, or by the laws Of modern sci
ence as demonstrated in the prin-
ciple of evolution, Warlike nations
have invariably become degenerate.
and been overthrown by more print
tive races, whose vitality had not
been sapped by the continual slaugh.
ter of its strongest men.
Peace is the only< condition that
can maintain a high Atate of civili-
zation and lead to tie permanent
of man physically, and
morally. The distribution OF VIC
tories at the recent Olympic games
at Stockholm was more than mere
accident. The overwhelming number
of contests won by Americans is
strong evidence Of the advantage of
cultivating the arts Of peace rather
than Of war The equivalent of
