THE KIND AT A,AIEs.

Perhaps so per cent OF the students
at Ames are Of the kind who go to col
lege because they want to learn. In
many other colleges and so-called uni
versities in the land, heavy percent
age of the young men simply go thru
the motions, because fond parents with
lots Of money want the lad to get an
education. AS a rule, he does not get
it. and he would not get 1t if he spent
ten years at the university. The lad
with too much money becomes worth
less loafer at the university, Just is he
does anywhere else. The boys who
get the most out of their time at col
lege-say at Ames-are the men who
came to college with a small valise
holding all their belongings and WHO
have to work some Of the time. in order
that they may remain at the college the
rest of the time. The man who has
to work for his education is going to
get all that he can possibly get. The
students at Ames who really needed
the money earned some $4,000 last
year.

IOWA OPINION AND NOTES.

None is so blind as the man who
persists in declining to see quotes the
edar Rapids Gazette, and goes on to
explain: I'm connection with the
coming back Of Robert g. Cousins. we
are told by standpat papers that the
downfall OF the lepubliuan party be-
gan when it refused to listen to Mr..
Cousins when he denounced the Iowa
idea as dirty. lousy lie or words to
that effect. The fact of the matter is
that the republicans were granted
longer lease of life because they adopt
ed the Iowa idea. And If they had
stayed by that idea they would still
be in power in the national govern
ment And one OF the reasons why Mr.
Cousins lost out was because he op-
posed progressivisn."

TUESDAY, JULY 8, 1913.

Pennsylvania, and June IA of each
So the Legislature has decreed after
battle of the flowers lasting for
several months. The bill making the
daisy the State flower was intro
duced early in the session, but when
it went to the committee it was
changed to the blue violet and in the
Senate to the lilac. The shrinking
violet would have been generally
acceptable, but unfortunately, at
least three other States-Illinois,
Rhode Island and Wisconsin-have
already adopted that flower as their
emblem. One of the arguments used
in favor of the daisy was that it was
within the reach of all. Roses and
lilies may be reserved for the rich,
but the daisy can be had for the
picking.
1t is interesting to note how rap
idly fads of this kind grow. There
is scarcely a State in the Union now
that has not designated its favorite
flower either by act of the Legisla-
ture or by the vote of the school
children. New York, prosperous and
great, has pre-empted the rose; Kan
sas selects the sunflower, Ohio the
carnation, Kentucky the golden rod,
New Mexico the cactus, and so on all
along the line. The love of flowers
is well nigh universal, and there is
an agreeable sentiment behind the
motives that designates flowers for
the various States. The custom of
selecting flowers as emblems, of
course, is not original with u.s.
Everybody recalls the War of the
Roses, and even to this day flowers
of one kind or another are worn in
memory of a man or a cause.
In England the primrose is worn
on the birthday of Lord Beacons-
field. In certain parts of Ireland the
followers of Parnell wear a sprig of
ivy on the anniversary of his death.
In France the Orleanists wear white
daisies, and the Bonapartists the
violets, while in our own country
many thousands of persons wear a
red carnation one day in the year in
memory of William Mckinley

WASHINGTON. D. G.. July s.
Copyrighted 1918 By W. 7. FOSTER

Last bulletin gave forecasts of dis
turbance to cross continent July 8
to Ia, warm wave s to 13. Cool wave
IL to 16. This will bring the hot
test weather of July. 1t will be the
last of the dangerous storms that
belong to the first great storm per-
iod of July that has been timed for
first half of July. The destructive
storms of this period began earlier
than expected and are said to have
destroyed property in southeastern
and northeastern states valued be-
tween one and two million dollars.
Our danger signals hang out for the
great storm to cross continent near
July 10 and IA.
Next disturbance will reach Pa
cific coast about July IA, cross Pa
cific slope by close of 18th, great CEN
trail valleys 16 to Is, eastern sec
,tions 20. Warm wave will cross Pa
cific slope about July IA, great CEN
trail valleys 16, eastern sections IS.
Cool wave will cross Pacific slope
about July II, great central valleys
10, eastern sections 81.
This will be a moderate disturb
ance after it passes east of meri-
dian 80 but west of that line its
force is so uncertain that it should
be watched. Off our northwestern
coast that storm will be of greater
than usual force and our storm sig
nails will hang out for all along the
Alaskan and Columbian coasts.
Good time for shipping interests with
in 500 miles of Sitka to keep their
weather eye open toward the west.
About July to IL it will be just
as safe on land as to be on the
steamship route from New York to
Liverpool. You will enjoy thes trip
fully as much if you start a little
later and the steamship companies
will have better regulations as
means for pleasure trips. The same
will apply to the Gulf of Mexico, the

coasts. Look out for a hurricane
down there.

GRItVfD OVER DEATH OF WIFE

New York, July Mrs. Mary Wat
son, twenty-five years old, died at the
Seaview hotel at Rockaway Beach of
aseptic poisoning, and after her death
her husband, Thomas, took their little
baby, tried to strangle it with a hand
kerchief and blew out his own brs6ns
with a revolver in a clump of laurels
in the tract of land in Neponsit which
is to be the city beach park.
Watson's> body was found by two
brothers-Albert Brooks of Plainfield,
N. j., and John Brooks of Yonkers-
who were walking on the beach about
three blocks from the end of the Ocean
Electric Railway company in Neponsit
when they heard the half strangled
cries of baby from a clump Of laurel.
They lookediinto the bushes and found
Watson dead with a bullet in his head
and revolver clutched in his right
hand. By his side was the baby with
handkerchief bound around its neck
One of the brothers ran to the offices
Of the Neponsit Realty company and
called the Rockaway hospital while the
other loosened the handkerchief around
the baby's neck and did what he could
to restore it. When DR.. Abrams ar
rived in an ambulance he found that
the father was dead, but the baby
wasn't much the worse for strangula-
ton and was taken to the hospital. 1t
will probably live.
Married Only a Year.
Watson was twenty-four years old
and was foreman of a construction
gang for the Ritter. Hyphon s. Con-
molly Construction company of Pitts
burgh, who have just completed a
large gas tank at Rockaway Beach for
the Queens Gas and Electric Lighting
company. He and his wife were Eng
lish and had been in this country nine
months. They were married about a
year ago
Last January they came to Rocka-
way Beach and went to live at the
Ocean View hotel on the Boulevard.
Two weeks ago Mrs. Watson bore q
baby girl, and after her confinement
aseptic poisoning set in. She got
worse, and yesterday morning her ply
sician, DR.. Frank p. Hatfield, called
to see her at $50 o'clock and told the
husband that she couldn't possibly live.
At 10 o'clock DR.. Hatfield met Wat
son on the Boulevard, and the latter
said that his wife had died. Watson
then went to the house of Mrs. S. Ellis
worth Of Wainwright, where the Wat
son baby was taken on Saturday night,
got the little girl and asked Mrs. Ellis
worth to fix up bottle of milk for it.
He said nothing of his wife's death,
but left and boarded an Ocean Railway
company's car, where he rode to the
end of the line in Neponsit. That was
the last seen of him alive.
The bottle of milk was found in one
of his coat pockets.

'HOPPERS EAT UP CROPS.
Grain and Glover Vanish in One Part
of Lehigh County.

Allentown, June 2S.-Ten thous-
and dollars is declared to be low
estimate of the damage inflicted on
growing crops by the pest of grass
hoppers which prevails in the vicin-
ity of Schwenkville, Lehigh county.
One of their first acts of destruc-
ton was the eating up of the hay
crop on the farm of former Recorder
of Deeds George F. Knerr. Today
samples of rye and wheat heads were
brought to this city that had been
denuded of grain by the grosshop-
pers. 1t is declared that the insects
have eaten practically all the grain
on the farms of Henry Semmel, Jas.
Bechman, Joel Hunsicker and John
Bear, near Schwenkville. Besides
this, the grasshoppers have eaten all
the clover on a number of farms.

GET OUT THE VOTE.

Pave is essential. Young men of
this day and generation it is up to
you to get the vote out on Friday
next. 1t will mean work, but what
is not accomplished without work
If we want a paved Main street we
must all put our shoulder to the
wheel and push. Do not depend up
on the other fellow or be satisfied
because your neighbor might vote
for this much needed improvement,
, the town needs your vote to win the
election. Every vote counts, but be
sure it counts for pave. Every
mothers son ought to feel proud that
he will be privileged to vote for this
improvement, which is a step right
along progressiveness. Enough mer-
chandise has been ruined by dust
from a dirt street. Vote for pave
to overcome the disagreeable dust,
to begin practicing economy in road
building, to have more sanitary and
healthful streets, to increase the
value of real estate without addition
al taxes, to make city out of
Honesdale. By all means VOTE.

NO MORE DIP MILK.

At regular meeting of the Board
of Health of Middletown, on Tuesday
evening, a resolution was adopted
forbidding the selling of dipped milk
in that city after January 1, 1914.
A similar resolution has been pass
ed in Port Jervis to take effect on
November 1.
At the last meeting, the license of
one dealer was revoked for Selling
dipped milk, but this action was
rescinded at the meeting Tuesday
evening, and all dealers will be al
lowed to sell until January 1 next.
The milk inspection committee re-
ported that they have visited twen-
ty dairies since the last report, nine
teen of which are in better condition
than last year, and but one dairy
has retrograded.

south they have held from 100 to
1900 bales of cotton since it was
selling little above cents and
their profits are now about $40 a
bale. Others have held their oats
since the price was 32 cents and
have profited 10 cents a bushel or
800 on each 1000 bushels. That is
more than 80 per cent. profit in 8
months. This illustrates the great
value of long range weather fore
casts. The producer, the dealer and
the consumer, who have been gov
erned by our weather calculations,
have had great advantages over
those who do not profit by such in
formation.

sue of to-days paper, gives the read
er a fair idea of the expression OF
the public on the pave question. 1t
is an unquestionable fact that the
majority Of the taxpayers want this
improvement and when the votes
are counted on the evening of July
II, if the voter casts his ballot with
the same enthusiasm as he talks, the

Honesdale people should all vote
for paved streets
BECAUSE
Honesdale is the county seat of
the most beautiful and most desir-
able county in Northeastern Penn
sylvania and cannot afford to long
er remain unpaved.
BECAUSE
1t will increase the value of real
estate.
BECAUSE
The amount of the proposed bond
ed Indebtedness is so insignificant
and is proportionately scattered
among 500 taxpayers. AS a matter
of fact there are several individuals
included in this number of 500 who
would not be the least bit frighten-
ed individually and alone to invest
the entire amount in a business pro-
ject. Why should 500 taxpayers be
afraid of proposition so essentially
needful that would cause no hesita-
ton whatever to many individuals
that are included in the 500?
BECAUSE
The taxes will not be increased.
This statement is backed by the fact
that the State Highway Department
has $17,50O available for this pave.
BECAUSE
The Wayne County Street Railway
company will pay its share and thus
make the burden lighter.
BECAUSE
1t would not be fair to the trolley
company. If the trolley company
does not pave when the road is built
it will necessitate unnecessary addi-
tional expense when called upon lat
er to tear up their tracks and lay
pavement.
BECAUSE
1t has been demonstrated that it is
almost impossible to maintain street
car tracks in the center of a much
travelled street in such a condition
that they will not be the direct cause
of broken wheels and other damage
and loss to vehicles.
BECAUSE
Honesdale has been paved with
good intentions" long enough.
BECAUSE
1t is cheaper to pave with brick
than it is to haul broken stone on
the streets and haul it all off again
in the form of MUD.
BECAUSE
1t is more sanitary, healthful and
economical.

Probably the most striking econo-
mic change since 1897 has been the
tremendous increase in the cost of
living-a situation which has at
tracted the anxious attention of
economists the world over. The re-
port of the bill to reduce the tariff
duties to provide revenue for the
government and for other purposes
gives interesting figures which rep
resent the relative advance in living
costs that has taken place during the
critical part of the period in question
in the United States.
The price of farm products in
1897 was about S5.2 while in 1900
the price advanced to 1895 which is
an increase of 2S.5 per cent. In
1910 the price of farm products
went up to 1916 making an increase
over 1897 of 93.2 per cent. This is
the most striking increase. Food is
next in line in the increase. The
price in 1897 was ST., in 1900 it
was 1912, an in 1910 it was 1887,
an increase of 46,7 per cent. over the
cost of 1897.
The commodities that show less
of an increase are clothing, house
furnishing goods and metals and i'm
plements.
: All commodities taken as a whole
have increased since S97 just 46.7
per cent.

The special election on Friday
is restricted to only Honesdale vo-
ters. The consensus of opinion is
for pave. The increased indebted

cheaper? Do your duty at the polls
