NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.
Month of Flowers


Halo friends Here we are again
in the beautiful month of May when
all the earth is exuberant in the joys
of nature. Clothed in raiments of
brightness the world is truly trans
figured from the chilling contrast of
few weeks ago when a snowy man
tie covered the earth and everything
seemed hushed in dormant repose.
Not a vestige of green herbage could
be seen and the poor little songsters
left struggling by the wayside cheer
ed not the passerby with tuneful
melodies of today but instead gave
mournful utterances of plaintive
walls. But now all is changed and
like sunshine after rain the earth
has blossomed forth in the newness
of life. We call it "Springtime" but
in reality it is nothing less than ma
lures resurrection. We assist nature
in keeping the festivities of its Eas-
ter by being gay and blithesome of
heart. Let your smile ripple on an
ocean of benevolence and love.
Messrs. O'Connor and Griswald, of
Wellsboro, Pa, and Mr.. J. Harry
Lang, of New York City, were bust
ness visitors here on Tuesday last.

MAYOR CLAIMS SAYING BY
 HOPPING OFF ''DEADWOOD"
Says He Has Economized to Extent of S45,OOO in Two Years
 Administration.

During the two years that the pres ent administration has had charge of city affairs, saving of nearly $45,OOO las been effected through the cutting out of what Mayor A. M. Paonessa terms dead wood" and the conse- qIent saving of salaries, the mayor said this morning.
 One of the mayors first acts, in fact the first official act. was 10 order the office of deputy city clerk declared vacant and to require that the work Of the office be handled by the three female clerks employed there. A sal ary, saving of $1,500 was effected. The mayor then did away with the posi- ton of male clerk in the office of the board of assessors, saving s1,SO0. Seven employees either resigned or were dispensed with in the engineer ing department with an aggregate e saving of $11.370. The salary saving for the first year of the administra- ton was $17,52 and during the pres ent year it is expected to pass this mark. Sk
