On Monday a number of resi-
dents of Browntown we're in Pro-
thonotary w. j. Barnes office sign

The Pennsylvania Chestnut
Tree Blight Commission has insti-
tuted an interesting experiment at
Mt. Gretna, Lebanon county, Pa, to
determine the effects of the chest
nut blight upon the quality of chest
nut wood products and upon the dur
ability of such products. So far in
vestigations have shown that in the
majority of cases products taken
from blight-killed timber are just as
desirable for most purposes as
those cut from healthy trees.
North of Bay Counties of Cali
fornia exhibit cars will be here Mon
day of next week to remain three
days. The exhibit will be in two
cars and will stop on the spur track
near the Union station. The cars are
filled with fruit, vegetables and
countless curiosities. The main feat
ure of the exhibit is a huge, man.
moth shark. The mouth is spread
wide open and is of such width that
a good sized child might stand up
in it. The shark when caught was
70 feet long. In the same case are
shown the ribs of a whale, each
easily five feet in length. The ex-
hibit will be worth all it costs and
will be liberal education in itself.
Don't forget the dates, Monday, May
., Tuesday, May 6, and Wednesday,
May Z. Cars open between the
hours of $3.50 a. m. and $50 p. m.
The Ladies' Improvement Asso-
citation of Honesdale, whose good
work has much to do with the at
tractive appearance of our town, have
decided upon the week beginning
Monday, May 5, as "Clean Up
Week." They ask for the co-opera-
tion, not only of the people of
Honesdale, but also of the societies
of East Honesdale, Union Hill, Ridge
street, River street, Cliff street, Elm
City and North Honesdale. These
contiguous territories are as much
Honesdale to visitors as Honesdale
itself and the cooperation of the
people of these districts means much
to the movement. 1t is not neces-
sary for any one to wait until next
week before removing unsightly piles
OF ashes, tin cans, etc., but during
that week an extra effort will be
MADE TO make Honesdale clean, sani-
tary and wholesome.
One hardly associated horses,
boars, geese, pigs, chickens and mon
keys with grand opera, but still they
are important features of Milton
and Sargent Aborn's monster pro-
duction of Balfe's masterpiece, "The
Bohemian Girl" to be presented at
the Lyric tonight (Friday). 1t was
only after due deliberation and many
conferences with that wizard stage
director, Edward P. Temple, who
realized all of the earlier produc-
tons at the New York Hippodrome,
that the latter assumed the stupen-
GUS task of staging Balfe's opera on
such huge lines. Mr.. Temple decid-
ed that if a truthful picture of the
Gypsy life that The Bohemian GirF'
deals with so largely was to be Civ
en-. all that was associated with it
should be shown, hence the horses,
geese pigs, dogs, and band of real
gypsies.
