SAYS FOREIGN NATIONS
WILL NOT RESPECT J.. S.
Mrs. John A. Logan DepIores
Criticism of High Pub
lie Officials.

If the American public continues to
criticise our high government officials
because of trivial matters. foreign ma
tons will lose all respect which they
hold for the United States
Such was the statement made today
by Mrs. John y. Logan. widow of the
famous civil war general in comment
ing on the criticism of Secretary
Bryan of the State Department because
he is engaged in delivering lectures in
order to supplement his salary Mrs
Logan is the owner of Calumet Place
which Mr.. Bryan rents as his home al
$500 a year.
In the first place" said Mrs. Logan
"all Of our public men receive ridicu-
lously small salaries. None is paid a
salary commensurate with his RESPONSE
bilities.
Then l think that as long as Mr.
Bryan has been selected. by men who
knew his qualifications, to fill the office
of Secretary of State, they should
credit him with enough sense to rule
his office in his own way. Mr.. Bryan
Is an experienced, conscientious man
think he would not neglect his office
to fill lecture engagements. and / think
even If he did, the American people
would not be justified in criticising
position, it would be better to remove
him.
Not Neglecting Work, She Says.
LAS it is. | cannot see that he is
neglecting his work. He can neither
hasten nor retard the affairs of state
and he always is within reach of Wash
ington.
THE tendency of the modern Ameri-
can TO criticise has been shown in the
great number Of Investigations Of cor
porations and public men. Nothing
could be done, even il the investiga-
tions disclose the worst. The problem
is growing serious. Criticism by the
people is reflected in the newspapers.
What must foreign nations think of a
country that criticises the smallest act
of a public man. whether it is for or
against the people?
I'VE shall be a great deal better off
when the crisis Is passed and we re-
turn to the normal. Then there will
not be this baseless futile criticism
The only mistake made by Mr.. Bryan
was in replying to unjust criticism.

A Few Honest Pointers
In Regard to Paint.

When you go into a store and ask
for paint don't be misled if the pro-
prietor or the clerk begins to sell you
paint by weight. Don't be fooled be-
cause the greatest weight does not
always mean the greatest value, for
instance, green and dark colored
paint do not carry as much white
lead, as white and light colored
paints, therefore, if your dealer
weighs up a gallon of his competi-
tors paint, say green or some dark
colored paint, surely it will not weigh
as much as a gallon of his white
paint. Then again there is way of
making a gallon of paint weigh
heavy without much cost, but we
hope no dealer in Honesdale sells
this kind; paint that is adulterated
with Barytes, which costs about $40
per ton while pure white lead is
worth about $3.50 per ton, but the
Barytes has very little if any cover
ing capacity, although it is heavy and
very white. These are only a few
facts that everybody should know. If
you want an absolutely guaranteed
paint-a paint that one gallon will
cover 800 square feet, two coats
and paint that will be cheap in the
long run, you will surely make no
mistake if you buy DEVOE. Erik

Rhubarb

How few rhubarb plants one sees

the fact that it costs practically moth

why we should not, an of US, have all

Do not try to grow the plants from

AS fast as seed stalks appear cut

While the plants will start early,

Many commercial growers keep the

way. It will avoid disappointment
and increase the plant food.
Every three or four years It Is ad-
visable to dig up the plants, divide
them and replant in another spot. If
this is not done, the plants run out
and the stalks grow small and pfthy.
Division and new location start

The efforts Of the service will be di-

in the past has been largely addressed
to questions of production, rather than
to buying, selling and the social prob
