 Dear oScial Cornerites: I'm here again

 trolleys we're not running, a goodly mum

 self and small granddaughter, We walk
 eh. It was long, iong trail, but we stopped and had very pleasant call with
 old friends and got rested. May Aunt
 Mary live to have many more such de-
 li-,htfuI picnics
 Now I will try and tell you something
 about my vacation. My son and family
 and myself and family thought we would
 take an auto trip to visit our relatives
 iir the west, so after much planning one
 Monday morning We started at 1 o'clock.
 It was dark and foggy and we had to go
 slow until we reached Hartford. Then
 it was light enough so we could get un
 better. We reached Calacoon, N. Y, at
 SIS in the afetrnoon of the same day,
 covering a distance of 25e miles At Caiacooh friends met US and we went on
 20 miles farther and ate our supper be- fore dark. We were tired but enjoyed
 every bit of the way. We saw many
 wonderful, sights. The people of Wayne county, Pa, are engaged in producing
 milk. From Slseilbero, Pa, We went to a place called Rockville, near Scranton
 That was three-hour drive. On our
 way we crossed the Moosic mountain and thought We meyer would reach the top. We saw many loads of logs in the rough,
 10 and 1e feet long, being carried to the coal mines to be used for props Scran- ion has many mines and several of our rslaiiyes work in them. They tell us that f-r or lAke II hsNe never seen daylight. 1 was invited
 to go down and see how things were, but I said NO, thank you :" Some of the men showed us their caps with little ian teins on them which tfey have to wear We saw heaps and heaps of coal, some of ! em mile long and half a mile high With Us poor uaprtafss struggling for a few tsSs and paSing sach awful prices it seems something must be wrong some where. People there pay only ss.5O a ton.
 We also saw where the mines had
 csyed in, leaving great holes in the earth At one place a number of houses were wrecked, some standing on sides some fallen over. I'm sure ] should no; want to live there. There were many fertile valleys and good roads and some dreadful bad ones. We saw many a suEsFbuSh," as they call them, where they make maple syrup, and we bought several cans of the delicious stuff home with us. Ne attended two daiices on the platforms at the ''bash" There were biz
 crowds and nice times. people $. coming
 many miles to attend
 After ten days Of delightful yisitine and sightseeing We planned to start home odt alas, there was cloudburst at Gala coon and three mics of state road was
 tern up. houses wrecked and automobiles washed away. One large car was carried town stream and never seen again. The people who were in it were saved by he. ing dragged to safety by ropes. We ha5 to go many miles around and on a dread. ial road to get started on. our way. We saw much damage donesshzs the storu | even on that road. We crossed the Hud. son river, going outs3rom Roughkee psit 10 Newburgh, on our way back frorr
