junketing trip" but never mind
that. Close your ears. Think of the
public good. Consider that school
boards are to give efficient service,
not to become money-makers or
money-savers.
When you come back to Hawley,
cool off, and do a little thinking.
You are doing we'll now, my dear
Hawley School Board, but we'll bet
peck of potatoes, (and they are
going to be scarce and small this
year, that you will redouble your
efforts. You will want to rank along
with Scranton and Honesdale, (and
the latter in many points ranks
ahead of the former). You will
shudder at the thought of having
anybody class you with some country
district with it's unspeakable and un-
writable conditions of outbuildings,
play grounds and absence of lawns.
You will wonder if it was just wise
to turn down the proposition to build
that concrete walk and the much
needed steps and other improvements
! and you will wonder if Dennison' S
+ figures were not low enough consid-
ering what you were going to get
for your money. You will, perhaps,
see that other things might be
done in the way of walks, and lawns,
and flowers, and paint to improve
the peoples property so that it will
be more of a credit to the town than
! it really is.
Next week the writer may have
! something more to say along this
| line. In the meantime he wants to
/ commend the school board on what
! it is already doing in the matter of
real progress and borough school ad-
! vancement.

The Democrats Failed To
Nominate Town Ticket.
There was a gathering of Hawley
| Democrats in Town Hall on Tuesday
night. Probably to put it more ac-
| curately, there was no gathering of
the Democracy of Hawley on Tues
/ day evening. There was a meeting
scheduled, however, and the object
was to put in the field a complete
| ticket for borough officers.
In Hawley this year there are to
| be elected one person to act as Bur-
CESS; six councilmen; two school di-
rectors; two poor masters; one tax
collector; one assessor; one judge
! of election, and two inspectors of
election.
1t was quite impossible to fill out
the ticket. No one could be agreed
on for burgess. Charles j. McHale
was the only man named for coun-
Gil. N. Mederer was named for tax
collector. T. J. Oldfeld was named
for assessor. James L. Tigue was
named for judge of election, and
VIM. Reafler and A. L. Rowland
were placed on the ticket as inspec'
tors.
The meeting was not well attend
/ ed. There was a lack of enthusiasm
Nobody seemed anxious for politica
honors, and it was quite out of the
question to even coax people to rur
for the places to be filled. AS one
Hawleyite who is somewhat poeti
cally inclined puts it, "oh, it wa!
pitiful, from a whole cityful, candl
dates there were none" And Haw
ley is Wayne County's Democratic
bulwark, or used to be. How is this
ANYWAY?

Wild RumOrs of Murder
Were Waited Abroad.

Some of the widest rumors i'm
aginable were abroad early this
week, and they were tinged with
blood of the regulation ''fe, fl, TO,
fumb" kind. One rumor was that
a man had been murdered at White
Mills. Another was that a CONNER
cial traveller had reached Hawley
with $4,000 in his possession, that he
had deposited half of his cash in a
Hawley bank and had been assaulted
and robbed of the other half by a
bold, bad Hawley man that he had
hired to drive out with him. Tele-
phones tangled and the wires were
hot for a time as anxious inquiries
from newspaper reporters, who
thought they scented a sensational
story, were answered. Then there
was a great calm. Ed Richardson
didn't know anything about it, neith-
er did the banks. Neither did any
body else. Ed. Richardson said that
the story might possibly have start
ed from the fact that he holds two
warrants in his possession for the
arrest of a young man charged with
assault and battery.

SCHOOL BOYS AND GIRLS CAN
WIN HANDSOME GOLD MEDAL

A gold medal to the school boy or
girl between the ages OF 10 and Is
who writes the best composition. hot
to exceed 500 words, on the repair
and maintenance of earth roads. is to
be awarded by Logan Walter Page.
director. office of public roads, United
States department of agriculture.
Washington. d. C. All compositions
must be submitted to Mr.. Page before
May Is. 1913. and the medal will be
awarded as soon thereafter as the
compositions can be graded. The com
gained from books or other source. but
no quotation should be made.
After many years experience in
dealing with the public road situation
of the country. it is Mr.. Pages belief
that ignorance on the subject of repair
and maintenance of roads is as much
the cause of their bad condition as any
other one factor. 1t is expected that
the competition will bring about a bet
ter understanding of the subject of
repair anu maintenance IN the ruial
districts.
Many children living in the rural
districts have experienced the disad-
vantages of roads made impassabie
through a lack OF proper maintenance
and it is expected that their interest in
the competition will stimulate greater
interests among the parents. Bad
roads have prevented many children
from obtaining proper education and
have even prevented doctors from
reaching the side of rural patients in
time to save their lives
Any child between the ages men
toned, attending country school,
may compete. Only one side of the
paper must be written on; each page
should be numbered; the name, age
and address of the writer. and the
names and location of the schuol
which he or she is attending must be
plainly written at the top of the first
page. The announcement OF the com
petition has been sent to the superin-
tendents of schools in the rural dis
tricts. No further information can be
obtained from the office of public
roads.
This announcement should be plain
to everyone. and all children will thus
start on a basis of equality.

TWAS A BIG LOCAL HIT

Four hundred and fifty people were
assembled in Delta opera house last
Friday evening-all seats occupied and
many standing-when the curtain
went up for the first act in The Man
From Mexico" as presented by the
dramatic club of this city, and it can
safely be said that every single mem
ber of that great audience was thoro-
ughly delighted with the performance
throughout.
The cast was well made by the
president of the club. John X. Charles

and there wasn't a point where proper
Interpretation of the part in this pleas
ing farce comedy was not made. Es-
pecially strong were the ladies appear

Ethel Bear. Miss Daisy Hornsby and
Miss Grace Adams.
A second performance was TO have
been given on Monday evening for the
benefit OF the local c. y. c. but the

Mining At Eagle

The Lady Bell mine at Eagle. over
whose discovery of ore there has been
more or less excitement, has at last
been leased TO parties who say they
will ship from and further develop
the property With this In view they
are planning quarters for accommo-
dation of men and will have teams
hauling ore as soon as they can put
the roads In shape. This preliminary
work will probably require two or
three weeks So little development
work has been done on the Lady Bell
that 1t is not possible to say any
thing regarding the probable extent
OF her ore bodies or OF their average
values. Up to date nothing OF value
has been opened up in surrounding or
near by properties, but there has
been. apparently. no effort TO do so.

Sensational reports were at hand
this week OF valuable copper strike
on the higher range between Eagle
and Gypsum. from which assays of
500 ore values were said to have been
taken. This copper bearing ledge was
reported capable of being traced for
a distance OF three miles on the sur
face.
on the higher ranges II will be
month yet before the snow Is suffi-
ciently gone to permit prospecting.
Like all other mining districts. II
will require time, work and much
money TO prove the mineral merits OF
the Eagle district. and more OF tale
can be told six months or the year
hence than now.
