HOCH DER HONEsDALE.

/ believe that this city of ours may
learn from small little Maple City
across the Moosics. This week, the
latter city has been enjoying the
Home Week." old friends have been
meeting and many visitors have been
called to Wayne's Capital, sharing
its hospitality and enterprise. Homes
dale is ambitious and progressive.
She made up her mind during the
summer that it was time to have a
celebration, and call her sons togeth-
er and here she is at it, advertising
herself and making merry for the
boys, renewing old friendships and
making new ones. Carbondale had
the same objects in view and they
fell by the roadside. We have the
noise and the bluster, but our deeds
are few and cheap, lacking courage
and short on enterprise. We took
hold of our proposed celebration
ourselves and we wasted printers
ink trying to help it to a successful
issue. But we failed, because we
lacked cash. Honesdale has the men
and the money, and they made fine
team and a strong one. The same
enterprise is manifest in Homes
dale's industries. She secures small
plants, employing profitable labor,
and she is appreciably going forward
while her neighbors sleep. Less
than a dozen years ago, when the old
Gravity was abandoned, some smart
seers saw Honesdale at its end, her
business gone and her labor abolish
ed. They said, "people passing here
will point at this place and say that's
where Honesdale used to be. 1t
went out after the canal and the
Gravity did. Too bad, but it had to
CO." But Honesdale wasn't through.
She still had some business to do,
some labor to perform and some
people to care for. She is doing that
now, and she is happy and prosper
Gus. She has paying industries, an
intelligent population and she is
making money. Her banks-four l
belieVe-have assets and surplus
and time deposits approximating five
million dollars. That's a fine show
ing for a community with finis writ
ten after it's name. / congratulate
her on her Home Week" and her
unmistakable progress, and trust that
she may wax richer and bigger as
she advances in age and wisdom.

INFORMATION FOR VETERANS.
Answer to Inquiries Regarding Tran
sportation to Gettysburg.

Adjutant General Stewart is in re-
ceipt of many letters from veterans of
the Civil war who fought at Gettys-
burg regarding the matter of trans
portation to the battlefield next
year when the fiftieth anniversary of
the battle is celebrated. 1t has been
published that the State has made
preparations to transport veterans
free, but this is somewhat premature
as the State has not taken any action
in the matter. In response to these
inquiries Adjutant General Stewart
has sent the following letter which
contains important information for
all veterans who purpose going to
Gettysburg next July:
Il am in receipt of yours of Au-
gust End, and beg to say in reply that
no arrangement has been made by
the State of Pennsylvania as to how
honorably discharged soldiers are to
be transported to Gettysburg, next
year on the part of the State. Moth
ing can be done until the meeting of
the Legislature which occurs in Jan
uary next. i have no official connec-
tion with this matter, but l have un-
derstood that the Commission in
charge of this matter will probably
recommend to the coming legislature
the making of an appropriation to
pay the transportation to Gettysburg
and return of all honorably discharg-
ed soldiers of Pennsylvania organiza-
tiOns who participated in the engage
ment. This matter, however, has not
been definitely determined nor has
any recommendation as yet been
made.
THE whole matter is in charge of
a Commission appointed by the Gov
ernor, of which General Louis Wag-
ner, Third National bank, Philadel-
phia, Pa, is chairman, and any fur
ther correspondence regarding the
matter should be had with General
Wagner, and not with this office.
Very respectfully,
THOS. j. STEWART,
Adjutant General" +"

WHY GO BACK IN THE RUT?

Are we getting out Of our lives as
much as our Creator intended that
we should? This question struck us
quite forcibly during the celebration
Just past. Then everybody was APP
parently enjoying the festivities OF
the occasion and were of mirthful
disposition. Everyone possessed a
light heart and apparently enjoyed
himself. Now that the celebration is
over and business interests command
our attention why should we go back
in the old rut? Let us continue to
wear a smile and look happy, even
If things don't go smooth or as we
would like to have them. Gloomy
and dark days will come without our
rejecting them daily upon our faces.
1t does not cost any more to look
pleasant and wear a smile than 1t
does to carry a face as long as
broom handle. Be friendly. Speak
to everybody and pretty soon you
will find yourself different person
and living a life that God intended
that you should-that of scattering
sunshine and making other persons
happy. Try it.

PARCELS POST.

Postmaster General Hitchcock an
nounced last week that, on January
/. the Postofice Department will put
into general operation the parcels
post system authorized in the postal
appropriation bill that became law
last Saturday. The service will be
extended to more than a million
miles of rural delivery and star
route service. The law provides that
postage on all parcels shall be pre-
paid by affixing distinctive stamps.
This will necessitate the making OF
at least a dozen denominations OF
special stamps ranging from one cent
to 81. Provision for the collection
on delivery of the price of the par
eel as we'll as the postage thereon
will be made. The law also pro-
vides indemnification for lost or
damaged articles and the question
of indemnity is causing concern.
Responding to inquiries, Senator
Bourne has made the following sum-
mary of the provisions of the new
parcels post law, which will become
effective January l, 1913; ANY arti-
Gle is mailable if not over eleven
pounds in weight nor more than sew
enty-two inches in length and girth
combined, nor likely to injure the
mails or postal equipment or en-
ployes. A fat rate of one cent per
ounce up to four ounces regardless

FARMING WITH DYNAMITE.

Nowadays they farm with dyna-
mite. Everyone has heard of the
farmer whose ground was so side
hill and stony that he had to shoot
his buckwheat into the ground with
a shot ground, but this seems to be
out done by the farmer who uses
dynamite in place of plow.
On many old farms there are fields
that have been plowed for fifty years
or more. The same kind of plow has
been used year after year, and the
same number of inches of furrow has
been turnd up. Six or eight inches
of soil have been turned over and
over, and corn and potatoes have
been raised, to be succeeded by a
sowing of oats and Seeding down"
and four or five crops of timothy hay
cut off. Some of these fields have
got so that a grasshopper has to
carry a dinner pail when he makes a
journey across to greener pastures.
1t is on these old fields that the
up-to-date farmer uses dynamite.
He takes a heavy bar, and about
every ten or a dozen feet he makes
hole that reaches well below the
line reached by his own, his fathers,
and his grandfather plow. In this
| hole he inserts a dynamite cartridge,
manufactured for the purpose. At
| ter he has planted the whole field to
| dynamite cartridges he connects
| them all up with an electric battery
and presses the button. The whole
field turns bottom up in about the
same time that the proverbial lamb
requires to shake his tail three times,
and there is new field ready for the
harrow. There is new layer OF
soil, from four to six inches thick,
that has never been touched by a
plow. The whole field has grown
sour and wet. Water stood in the
hollows, because eight inches down
there was thick, heavy layer that
was impervious to water. That is
now broken up, and the rains get
right down to the beginning OF
things.
After blowing up field with dyn'
amite the wise farmer goes to work
and sows red clover, and when it is
in full bloom he puts in plow SCI
to run just as deep as he can make
it, and turns that red clover under
to follow up the next spring witt
another deep plowing and turn the
rotting red clover to the top. Now
he can plant a crop and get re
turns.
1t is only fair for US to say tina
the agricultural editor of The Citi
zen never blew up a field with dyn
amite, and that he is not talkinl
from actual experience. His advic,
is that some farmer experiment
on small scale. Blow III
about quarter of an acre of grounC
= with dynamite, and see what results
= he gets. If that pays, try a large
patch. The scheme looks all right
but it may cost more than it come
to-

HOW TO READ.

Nearly everybody reads nowadays
and reads a great deal. 1t Is i'm
portant, therefore, to our wellbeing
that we read right. Ill health Is
often to be found among great read
ers and students.
This is unnecessary. Hold your
book properly when reading and you
will read with profit. Your head
should be erect. Your book should
be level with your eyes. Thus you
avoid all danger of STOPPING. The
light should either be on level with
your head or above it and should
come from over the left shoulder. If
you can't get the light from the
right direction, the next best thing
is to use an eye shade.
1t is very bad to read while lying
down, especially when you are re-
covering from illness. If you must
read in this position, the book
should be placed against the pillow
where the light will strike it and
you should lie on your side a COM
Portable distance from the book
Reading in trolley cars and trains
unless the jarring is very slight, is
bad for the eyes.
Wearing wells, especially those
that are thick or dotted, hurts the
eyes. If you must wear a veil, use
one with fine mesh. 1t is just as
bad to strain the head backward as
it is to bend it forward. Therefore
in reading don't hold your book
above your head.
A good book is an excellent thing
. for the mind. See that you use il
! in such way as to make it good fol

BUTTERMILK AS A BEVERAGE

Hats off to the gentle, mild-eyed
American COW. Buttermilk, at least
in one place in the United States,
costs more than beer. The place is
Warren, Pa, and the price is II
cents per quart. Bossy alone is not
entitled to the credit for this boost
in the price of the churned products
of her lacteal glands. A doctor in
Warren has been telling the people
that the drinking of buttermilk
would improve their health. War
ren is not, however, the only place
in which the use of buttermilk is
growing. Everywhere, almost, there
is an increasing demand for the
drink which carries into the system
a supply of Tactic acid, an important
chemical agent, necessary alike TO
digestion and the proper muscular
action. Physicians have learned
that this product of decomposition in
buttermilk, the acid which gives the
buttermilk its sour taste, is a medi-
cine as we'll as a food or assimilator
of food. Yet buttermilk is not al
ways beneficial. Up to a certain
point in the process of decomposi-
tion Tactic acid is produced; beyond
that point there is another product
of decomposition or fermentation
which is best left out of the human
stomach.
But while buttermilk is now
drunk for its health-giying proper
ties, can any one imagine a more
wholesome or alluring beverage than
buttermilk before it has developed
Tactic acid and the sour taste? DO
you remember going to the spring
house, soon after the churning was
finished, there dipping from the
stone crock a tin cupful of the but
ter-fecked liquid and pouring it
down your heat parched throat? If
you do you will remember also that
you seldom stopped with one cupful.
Or maybe you remember how you
used to drink 1t gurgling out of a
stone Jug which you had hid in the

NEW ORDERS FOR ENGINEERS

The engineers are directed to re-
duce the speed of their trains while
making those temporary repairs
about the engine and If 1t should
happen that the repairing of the iron
steed cannot be done without the en-
gineer's losing sight of the signals
then he must bring the train to a
complete stop and the 1agman must
be sent back.
Another important order that af-
fects the engineers and that has just
become effective calls for the en-
gineers presenting themselves for a
physical examination, particularly
with respect to hearing and sight
and heart condition.
The order relative to slackening W
the speed and in bringing the train
to stop to make repairs about the
engine, follows;
" Whenever any difficulty is ex.
perienced with injectors or other
parts of the engine, requiring the at.
tention of the engineer, speed must
be reduced sufficiently to permit oi
proper observations of all signals
If necessary trains must be stopped
until repairs or adjustments are
made, sounding the prescribed whis.
tie for the f1agman to go back and
protect rear of train"

Cession of Panama Canal Strip Makes
Hay-Panncefofe Treaty yoidabIe
II Desired by United States

/ Washington. July 25.-Hannis Tay-
lor. who was minister TO Spain under
the Cleveland administration and a
prominent writer on international
law, in an open letter published here
yesterday. contends that the Hay
Pauncefote treaty between the United
States and Great Britain relative to
the Panama vanal, is voidable because
OF the situation arising out of the
ceding by the republican OF Panama
to the United States OF the strip
known as the Panama Canal Zone
There is no room for hairsplitting
on that point" he writes. Within the
canal zone the United States is SOW
ereign for all purposes of internation-
al law. Under that law the treaty be-
comes voidable, not void, whenever a
change has taken place and the funda-
mental conditions under which il was
made are changed"
The writes quotes Hall, an eminent
English authority on international law
in support of his contention.
That the treaty is not voided by the
ceding OF the Panama Canal Zone strip
to the United States by Panama, but
is voidable at the pleasure of the
United States because of the new con-
ditions that embrace the Panama
canal matter is Mr.. Taylor's conten-
tion. He believes this country has a
perfect right now to declare the Hay
Pauncefote convention as of nom
effect.
