PAY YOUR DEBTS.

Pay your debts when due or
even before, because il Is a duty
you owe to the community in
which you live, besides the dol
lars and cents you owe to some
member of that community. While
two-thirds Of the business of the
country is done on a credit basis
extending from the manufacturer
Ito the wholesaler through the
wholesaler to the retailer and from
the retailer TO the consumer, thus
forming a chain whereby every
one purchasing a dollars worth
on credit becomes a link in that
chain, and if he fails to pay he
disrupts the chain, for the retailer
can not pay, and the wholesaler
can not pay, and the manufacturer
is disturbed for materials and can
not pay his employees, and they
can not liquidate their debts, and
you may go on and trace the re-
suits of not paying your debts
promptly, and you will find it
brings about a disturbance
throughout the business world.
The mar who will not meet his
debts promptly should not be Civ
en- credit. Merchants delight in
selIing on a credit to men who
meet their debts promptly for
they feel that they have something
to rely upon with which to meet
their obligations. The man who
lis known to pay promptly can buy
as cheap without cash as he can
with it. On the other hand the
man who has acquired the repu-
tation Of never paying" can not
buy as cheap with the cash, as
1.-THE man who pays promptly, can
buy on time. 1t is a duty every
one owes to the community to pay
his debts and pay them promptly.
A reputation for paying debts
promptly when due is a big asset
for a man, whether merchant,
farmer, professional man, wage
Garner or laborer. A man who
pays promptly carries the respect
and confidence of the community,
and is always referred to as a
good citizen. Then, from a selfish
view, it is good policy to pay your
debts and receive the confidence
of your neighbors and acquaint-
ances, but every one should pay
his debts because it is right and
just. Aside from your moral OBJ
legation to pay your debts, you
will find it good policy and cheap
est in the long run to pay your
just debts, and cheerfully pay
them when due. Take an inward
retrospect, and consider what
you think of the man who is in
debted to you, and won't pay,
then consider what you think of
the man who owed YOU sum and
called around and cheerfully paid
up what he owed you when it
was due. Then compare the two
opinions and we believe you will
agree with us that it is a good
policy to pay your debts prompt

RICHLY DESERVED REWARD.

None can begrudge the farmers
Of this country their good fortune
in the bountiful crops Of this year.
They richly deserve all the re-
ward that comes to them, says the
Jackson News.
However much Of the profits of
many other lines Of production
may be due to unfair manipula-
ton, the farmer creates his values
through his toll, and in creating
them enriches all.
The prosperous, middle-aged
farmer Of today, facing his declin-
ing years in comfort and plenty,
may be envied by the wage
workers Of the cities.
But let us not forget that the
now prosperous farmer has
bought his present condition al
cost Of ceaseless toll and tireless
energy, of almost inconceivable
self-denial and sacrifice, of disap-
pointments and Encouragement
that only the fittest could sur.
Vlve.
If any life in this country has
been harder than that of the
farmer it is that Of his wife. She
generally without help and will
little to do with, cooks the meals
does the family washing and the
sewing, milkS the COWS, raises the
chickens, makes the soap and ap.
pie butter and bakes the bread
and pies: brings up a generous
brood of healthy children, and Of,
ten finds time in the harvest sea
sons to help her husband in the
field.
The lives of these men and wo,
men have been the most extraor-
binary and most fruitful in all his
tory. 1t is the farmers that have
converted our vast domain fromla
wilderness into rich fields and
made possible the flourishinp
cities.
While their horizon was still
bounded by the clearing his axe
had made, the prophetic pioneer
farmer and his wife boldly dream,
ed of continental conquest. Their
vision saw beyond the dark
swamp, the bleak desert and the
dark forest to the lofty buildings
and the jostIing multitudes Of
mighty cities--beyond the rank
grass-clad prairies to the seas Of
golden grain-beyond the harsh
life Of the log hut and the
sod house to the cozy
homes Of their children, where
should be comfort and the higher
things Of life though they might
not be for him and her.
Richly they have earned all the
good that comes to them, for they
have enriched not themselves
alone, but the nation.
Agriculture ever has been and
ever will be the backbone Of al
business in this country.

WHY WIRELESS DOES BEST
WORK At NIGHT
Nikola Tesla Says Solar Radiation
Causes the Air to Lose Moisture.

Nikola Tesla believes he has dis
covered the reasons for the pheno-
mena long noticed by wireless folks
that the wireless receiver is appre-
ciably weaker in the day than it is
at night.
In the Electrical Review and
Western Electrician of Chicago, pub
lished recently, appears an article
by the electrical inventor on The
Disturbing influence of Solar Radi-
alton on the Wireless Transmission
of Energy" In this article Tesla
accounts for this condition on the
theory that as moisture in the air
is dissipated by the suns rays, and
as particles of water in evaporattng
carry with them charges of cleo
tricity, the earth is thus deprived
of some of the electrifcation which
resides upon its surface at night.
This, he claims, causes a dissipation
of energy which necessarily inter
feres with the transmission of the
electrical signals and prevents them
from being observed at so great a
distance as in the night time.
Tesla has long maintained that
the earth plays as important a part
in wireless transmission as the air
and has Contended as the results of
demonstrations, he says, that the
results accomplished are not due
merely to Hertzian waves, whose
existence was discovered by Helm
rich Hertz the German physicist
Tesla writes:
Bearing, then, in mind that the
receiver is operated simply by cur
rents conducted along the earth as
through a wire, energy radiated
playing no part, it will be - once
evident that the weakening of the
impulses could not be due to any
changes in the air, making it turbid
or conductive, but should be trac-
ed to an effect interfering with the
transmission of the current through
the superficial layers of the globe.
The solar radiations are the pri-
mary cause, that is true, not those
of light, but of heat. The loss Of
energy, l have found, is due to the
evaporation of the water on that
side of the earth which is turned to-
ward the sun, the conducting par
ticles carrying off more or less Of
the electrical charges impaired to
the ground.
"At present it may be sufficient for
the guidance of experts to state that
the waste of energy is proportional
to the product of the square of the
electric density induced by the
transmitter at the earths surface
and the frequency of the currents.
Expressed in this manner it may not
appear of very practical signifi-
cance. But remembering that the
surface density increases with the
frequency it may also be stated that
the loss is proportional to the cur
rent of the frequency"

Wilkes-Barre. - Thirty hoboes
were rounded up by the police of
Plymouth borough and taken before
Burgess w. D. Morris recently for
sentence. He decreed that all be
held in the lookup until he could
lead a parade to the best base ball
diamond in the borough. Two
teams will be selected from the
Weary Willies, and the burgess de-
clares the game must be hotly con-
tested from start to finish. After
nine innings have been played, the
losing team will be taken back to
the lookup and held prisoners for
two days, putting in their time
pounding stone on the streets.
The victors are also to be taken
back to the lookup, but only long
enough to be well fed, when they
will be ordered to shake the dust OF
the town from their feet in a hurry.
Burgess Morris is a great base ball
fan. He believes that out of thirty
hoboes there are several good play
ers, and says he is particularly anXi-
GUS to see just how well men can
play the great national game when
their liberty depends on the out
come.-Scranton Truth.

FORTY-Two INCH EEL CAUGHT.
Fishermen at Lake Henry First
Thought They Had Hooked Big
Lake Erie Catfish

Lyle Keen, of Maplewood, fishing
off the pier of T. A. Ruddy's cot
tage at Lake Henry, Wednesday
evening, hooked what at first was
thought to be one of the large Lake
Erie catfish. He played the fish for
some minutes and then turned the
pole over to Mr.. Ruddy. For fif-
teen minutes the fish struggled and
successfully eluded the landing net.
Finally, however, Mr.. Ruddy hoist
ed the struggling fish to the pier.
The surprise came when it was
found to be, not large catfiesh, but
a mammoth eel. 1t was forty-two
and one-half inches in length and
weighed five and a quarter pounds.
Eels are very rare in the lakes of
this section and not more than three
have ever been taken from Lake
Henry. Those have been small and
did not begin to compare with the
one caught last Wednesday. Mr..
Ruddy took the eel to Scranton on
the morning train and while the
Lake Ariel commuters all admitted
it was a big one they all had seen
larger.

PENsIoNER Is 1i5 YEARS OLD,
Veteran of Two Wars Asks For an
Increase.

Mcajah Wise, of Beaver Brook,
Sullivan county, has just been ex-
amined by Port Jervis physician
on the application for an increase of
pension. He Is a veteran of the
Mexican and the Civil war and has
reached the age of 115 years. The
physician will report favorably on
the case.
Mr.. Wise, who now receives a pen
sion of $50 a month, was born in
Northampton county, Pa, in June,
1897, and probably is the Oldest pen
sioner on the government rolls. He
served in Company G, 141st Regi-
ment, Pennsylvania Volunteers, and
was never wounded or taken prison
er.
Taking into consideration his ad-
vanced age, Mr.. Wise is well pre-
served, his mind and voice are
clear, and last year he was strong
enough to go on several fishing trips.
This season, although more feeble.
he says he intends to indulge in his
favorite pastime, because he wants
to catch just one more fish before
he dies"

WATER COMPANIES PLAN
STATE ASSOCIATION.
Promoters of New Concern Favor
Dams in Pennsylvania Streams.

Harrisburg.-Water company en-
gineers and lawyers from various
parts of the state met in Harrisburg
recently to take steps toward or
ganiZing a state association. The
main purpose seems to be to intro
duce in the next legislature a bill
to enlarge the powers of those de-
string to use the waters OF the
state"
Several members of the Pittsburg
food commission attended the con-
ference, and w. NJ. Jacoby, a mem
ber of that body, acted as spokes-
man for the meeting, in giving out
a canned interview" at the close.
Except for the food commission, no
one attended the meeting who is as
sociated with movements for the
conservation of natural resources.
After referring to the disappear
ance of the states forests, the ia
coby statement says:
in former days the control OF
these streams was better than at
present Before the passing of the
timber these streams in many places
were provided with dams, which
tended to hold water and in a meas
ure control it. These dams have
largely disappeared, with the result
that in the absence of any control,
the waters are allowed to flow unre-
strained"
AS water-power companies invari-
ably build a dam as a first step in
their enterprise the significance OF
this plea is seen.
The conference authorized the ap-
pointment of a committee of five,
with power TO select two more, to
map out a plan of organization.
1t was officially stated that the
new organization will cooperate full
ly with all interested bodies, includ-
ing the Pennsylvania Conservation
association.
