19 MARRIAGE LICENSES IN
APRIL
Despite the Fact That April Was n
Stormy Month The Little Love
God Did Good Work.

Some one has said that "Of all
actions of a mans life his marriage
does least concern other people, yet
of all the actions of our life 'tis most
meddled with by other people," This
can truthfully be said in the present
instance and Marriage License Book
Number bears all scrutiny without
a murmur. During the month OF
April there were recorded in this
faithful book some nineteen mar
riage licenses, the analizing of which
is no light task, for there one may
find many interesting facts hidden
away from the unobservant eye.
The season is approaching for the
forming of " two souls with but a
single thought" and so far the
month of April holds the record in
number. In March there were only
six licenses issued, probably due to
the fact that the weather was too
stormy and unpleasant, as that is the
month when the frost king is sup
posed to lay down and give up the
ghost, but is always reluctant to do
so. April was also a stormy month
but not too stormy to dishearten
nineteen brave youths and as many
maidens.
The occupations owned up to by
the brides of April were few beside
the conventional "at home" Three
confessed to be silk workers; four
gave their occupations as house
keepers while two acknowledged
themselves to be "homekeepers."
Beside these there was one steno-
grapher, one domestic, one teacher,
and one dressmaker.
The occupations OF the grooms
was given as farmers. of which there
were six. Two gave their trade as
blacksmiths, and two as laborers.
There was one car service clerk, one
Insurance agent, one car inspector,
one railroader, one glass cutter, one
glass blower, one plumber, one lum-
herman and one tracer.

Auto License Fund is at 800, 900
Mark,

With the issuing of the 4O,O00th
automobile license tag at the State
Highway Department, Saturday, the
automobile license fund reached
100000. This will be added to the
fund of 81 100000 received for past
registrations and by the end of the
year there will probably be $4,000
600 in the treasury to the account
OF the automobile division.
At the next session OF the Legis-
lature, it is probable, that a bill will
be introduced proving for the ex-
penditure of this sum and all other
funds received from the licensing of
automobiles on the roads of the
state.

To DEVELOP WAYNE COUNTY
Cauliflowers Grow Fine i'm Wayne
County-There is Big Money i'm
Growing Them.

Did ii ever occur to you, Mr..
Farmer, that there is good profit in
raising the cauliflower? 1t can be
raised upon your farm and the varie-
ty Is much sweeter than the kind
grown near the Metropolis. 1t can
also be raised at times of the sum-
mer when the Long Island product
is unfit for market Then is the time
when you will get fancy prices for
the crystal heads. You need not go
into it so extensive at first, but that
would be the only way for profit
Say you had under cultivation from
Is to 80 acres, allowing each acre
to yield an average of 200 barrels
per year, we shall have a yearly out
put of between $1,000 and $1,000
barrels to be sold in the city at
prices ranging from 81 to $12 per
barrel-quite a nice bunch of money
each fall to come back up here
among the hills and dales of dear
old Wayne to keep things going.
Wayne county is fortunately
blessed with one of the largest and
best cooperages in this section OF the
country, McKenna Bros, located at
Honesdale, which can furnish bar
rels for the grower of the cauli-
uONtI Ill any HIS Is SOOu
for both raiser and manufacturer.
The barrelmaker gets market for
his factory product and the farmers
are saved the bother of hunting
packages for the fruit of their
fields.
1t takes both labor and skill to
grow cauli1ower and a goodly quail
ity of each. From preparing the soil
with fertilizers, all through the
plowing, narrowing, planting, up to
the tying up the heads and cutting
and packing there is a lot of back
aching toll for whoever embarks in
the industry. No one who wishes
an easy summer should go into the
caulitlower business. If you live
near a railroad you can ship direct
to the market. Otherwise drive to
Honesdale. By the way what do you
think of the suggestion offered by
the Greater Honesdale Board of
Trade of appointing a good honest,
conscientious buyer for the farmer
without one cent of cost to you to
sell your product in the city? The
service would be absolutely free and
you could dispose of apples, ruta-
bagas, cauliflower, cabbage, etc.,
whereas now it might remain upon
the farm and be a dead loss to you.
Fertilize and realize something from
your farm. You will never regret
the effort put forth.

CHICAGO PRESSMEN ON STRIKE
All Papers Tied Up-Believe None
Will be Printed Until After Diff
fiCulty is Settled.
Especial to The Citizen.)

Chicago, May 2.-All the union
pressmen employed on the Chicago
daily papers went out on strike at
$3.50 this morning. 1t is believed
that all the big papers will be tied
up until the strike is ended. The
morning papers are on the street,
but it is not known whether or not
any evening papers will be issued.
The trouble is due to the fact that
the publishers OF the papers and the
union officials couldn't agree on a
wage scale.

There was a great deal of competi-

ability of the local man, and if our
theatre and school house are any
criterion, Stroudsburg will get a
thoroughly satisfactory job.
