RESOLUTIONS

Whereas, on the evening of March
Bird 1914, the messenger of death
passed our sentinel and invaded our
society and severed link from our
golden chain, summoning from time
to eternity Nasty B. Mills, one of
our most devoted workers. We
shall never again enjoy his genial
companionship and wise counsel
He was always a willing worker in
our society and we mourn his un-
timely demise, and his memory will
ever he kept fresh and bright in our
hearts, as he was loved by all, and
therefore be it
Resolved, That it is with sorrow
we thus part with our beloved mem.
Der. We would emulate his virtues
and bow in humble submission to
the power of one who "Doeth all
things WE'LL" hoping for a meeting
in the great society of eternity, where
with hands clasped in his, we shall
take up the link now severed. Be it
Resolved, That the sympathy OF
this society be extended to the sor-
rowing relatives OF our brother and
his bereaved family and friends
Resolved, That we as a society so
conduct ourselves, that when our
summons comes, the golden chain
will be unbroken in our home on
high.
Resolved, That these resolutions
be spread upon the minutes OF our
society and that copies be sent to
the family of our departed friend
and also to our home papers for
publication
Resolved, That
Wen bow before our Fathers will,
Wen bid our throbbing hearts "ht

SCRANTON,
PENNSYLVANIA
Bv GEORGE FITCH
Author OF "At Good Old siwash"

Scranton, Pa, is well known
city situated among the smaller
wrinkles OF the face of nature in
PENNSYLVANIA. The Lackawanna Riv
er flows through the city and the
Lackawanna Railroad makes escape
to New York a short and easy per-
Torrance.
Scranton has an area OF. twenty
square miles and is built on a loun-
dalton of solid anthracite coal. All
over the city thousands OF men are
working in the mines digging out
this foundation, in consequence of
which Scranton has many ten-story
cellars. and the earth occasionally
iaints away beneath the citizen
humble cottage in a disagreeable
manner. Scranton is no better than
other cities in summer, but is a par
adisc in winter, owing to the eX-
IRENE liandiuess of the coal supply,
aud the happy citizen can buy his
stesm heat and meter rates as easily
as he can buy natural gas in Kansas
Scranton was laid out in 1910,
and nj that time had intentions of
becoming the Pittsburg of America.
However, the rolling mills moved
away in order to be nearer 10 An
drew Carnegie. 1t has 10000 IN
habitants, almost halt of whom
know how to swing a pick.
Scranton nestles among the ZOO
foot mountains OF Eastern Pennsyl
vania, and is more interesting under
ground and overhead than it is or
the street level. Producing poo
miners sons who nave a chance t.
become president has been its great
5 est diversion, but none OF them hav
, got farther than Congress rs yet.

vance over Year of 1918.

The following taken from Sum
DAYS Cincinnati Enquirer gives
some idea of the splendid results
that follow the new taxing system
which has been in vogue in Ohio
long enough to test it's merits. The
report. made by the Commission on
the effect of the new law in opera
ton should be especially interesting
to the people OF Kentucky at pres
eut, as a measure now pending in
the Legislature is modelled after the
Ohio law:

With "A uniformity that has proved
to be most gratifying to the State
Tax commission, the District As.
SCISSORS under the Warnes law are
reporting large increases in the vol
untary personal property returns
made by taxpayers. Without any
question, the members OF the com.
mission say, the merit Of the APP
poiutive system of choosing tax
listing officials has been established.
The showing TO date, the District
Assessors report, is small in COM

"The Commission yesterday gave
out figures from widely scattered

is Sl2, 792, COS, as against $685.

is $500 on the first reports, but
the commission expects a substan
tial increase as the weather. dis
tricts are reached. Reviewing tn,
first weeks of operation under thu
new system, the commission yes
terday issued this statement:
"The partial returns from the
cities and villages figure a substan
tial increase. This advance is bount
to far exceed that of the Rural dis
tricts when the larger cities ar
heard from, for it is from the larg
cities OF the State that the commits
sion expects to bring from unde

AUSTRIA AND SERVIA.

For some weeks it has appeared
that Austria was directing especial
energy to the conquest of Servia; a
measure of energy, indeed, quite out
of proportion to the military import
ance of that little country. At a
time when big and critical events
are taking place in the struggle
along the Vistula and in Galicia, vi
emma has deemed it sound policy to
use large forces against little Servia.
The explanation is not hard to find.
Servia is to Austria what Belgium is
to Germany. A little country, but
one that must be put under, so that
when peace is made it can be held
there
Servia victor in this war would
get Bosnia Herzegovina, while it
would have a strong claim for yet
more along the northern littoral of
the Adriatic. 1t would be the nat
ural leader of Balkania, and would
have laid foundations for power
which one day might menace Aus
tria. So, just as it is considered at
Berlin absolutely necessary to retain
Belgium, it is regarded at Vienna
as of first Importance to check Ser
Wan expansion. On these two points
it may be expected that Germany
and Austria will be most insistent,
no matter what they may be called
on to sacrifice in other directions.
Moreover, the sacrifices in other
directions will probably not be so
great. AS has been pointed out
heretofore, the western allies can
not engage in or consent to any gen.
eral dismemberment of Germany.
Militaristic Germany is their enemy
today; but modernized Germany will
be their guarantee against pan-Slav-
ism of the future.
The Washington times., 1914-11-28
THE PLAGUE ABATINC.

The Government has lifted the
livestock quarantine-invoked a few
weeks ago because of the foot-and-
mouth disease-from Illinois, Wis
consin, and Iowa. From other States
come reports which indicate that the
plague has about been put under
control.
Five times the foot-and-mouth dis
ease has broken out in this country,
and run a more or less menacing
course. The experience of this year
has been the worst, in that the dis
ease was more widely scattered than
ever before. But the vigorous efforts
of the Federal authorities, in COOP
Grafton with the States, have accom-
plished wonders by way of suppress
sion. Relentless slaughter of in
fected animals, plus the most rigid
quarantine, has once more been
proved the effective means of con-
trolling epidemics of this kind. What
might, uncontrolled, have become a
fearful disaster to one of the great
est industries of the nation, is likely
to become at last merely a demon
stration that the governmental in
struments for protection are entitled
to confidence.

TOYLAND AND THE WAR

This year only a part Of the ST.
100000 usually spent by the United
States importers upon foreign toys
will go aboad; the rest will help
o swell the 100000 usually spent
upon domestic toys.
There will be less variety in dolls
than heretofore; there will be a
larger proportion of the hardy rag
md rubber races with their imper-
shable charms. The Christmas trees
will glitter less splendidly with tin
el and glass globes, but more appe-
izingly with cornucopias and pop
:orn balls.
IL child loses the predigested en-
ertainment of the finished toy and
nds instead the stimulus to imag-
lation and experiment in well-pre-
uared material, he will experience
me substantial blessing from the
war.
About the carefully finished mech
anism there is little to pique the
'hild's curiosity except the inside;
here is little to do with the toy ex-
cept to break it. It will be boon
to harassed mothers and nursemaijs
