Tills Means Much to Young Men.

Honesdnlo Improvement Association Ask Property Owners to Make. Places Tidy. " For, lo, the winter Is past, the time of tho singing of birds is come, and the voice of the turtle is heard in the land." This song of tho old bard has echoed and re-echoed down through the ages, heralding " spring," the renewal pf life for man and flower, for birds and beasts. The warm sunshine and the sing ing of birds calls (man out of doors. The garden, tho lawn, the store and the city all call for work. A year has passed since our last " Clean Up Day." It certainly was a great success! MttttttMTtMttfHtHt SPENCER The Jeweler t would like to see you If I you are In the market t for I JEWELRY, SILVER WT A D T? W A TPT.T TC CLOCKS, DIAMONDS, I AND NOVELTIES But things will not stay "pert" always. Again wo must call on our loyal citizens for help. Wo know this time It will bo no experiment. Wo know all aro awaiting to help make Honesdalo tho " city beauti ful " and healthful. Of course the clean ashes will bo raked over the more objectionable things and that is the best that can bo done until tho ditch Is filled. Then the beauty or it will appear. A flno boulevard With hero and there pretty parks in tho wider parts will somo day mark tho old eyo-soro but onco useful old Delaware and Hudson culm dump, opposite the town proper. Reference has been mado many times hereto foro about this old dump with the hopes that something might have been accomplished long before this. Because tho Delaware and Hudson company appears to bo satisfied to let the old coal dump remain un touched is no reason why tho towns people should be. Tho delapidated planes, with a few unsightly bents protruding through the culm like a fan's moustache, "three out all out," is a decided contrast from tho Delaware and Hudson's beautiful brick depot, located only a few hun dred feet away. It is hoped that the company will make an effort this spring to beautify that part ot their real state in Honesdale. The date of clean-up day for 1013 has not been selected but it is sure to be upon the calendar. Probably the first week In tho month of May will be designated as clean-up week in Honesdale. In the meantime we will see that people are not waiting for it. All over town the rakes are going, refuse-burning and the gen oral air of clean-up pervades 'Honesdale.

The sun was setting on a large apple orchard near a country farm house. Here and there the red rays of the sun shot their light between the many trees to the ground, which was covered with a thick carpet of green grass. This reached nearly to the gnarled limbs which were bend ing beneath their load of green fruit. Although tho trees are old, they still contribute their share to the farm er's harvest. They also furnish homes for many birds, among them are tho robins and orioles.' The ground at one end slopes to a level plain, through which runs a small brook which murmurs contentedly to itself. But, when frozen in winter, it presents the same dreary appear anco as the trees with their barren limbs. This does not last long and soon the warm winds stir the branches which nod and bow to their winged friends who again return to see it In all its splendor in May, the most beautiful time of the year, which completes its round of seasons. Tho Old Vino Hill Church. By Jennie L. Barnes, English II. The old church stands on the sum mit of a long hill, as if to keep its eye '6n all the surrounding country. It is a small, nearly square structure, with a belfry large In proportion to the rest of the building, at one end. In front, a few stone steps lead up to the only door, scratched and scarred with the wear of years. The paint is peeling off, tho shutters are broken, and tho whole place speaks of neg lect. There was a time when Sun day morning found a long lino of horses and wagons in the shed that then stood behind tho church, and saw the inside of tho church filled with the rough but kind hearted farmers and their families, and heard the sound of the new organ, now warped with the rain that has found Its way through tho roof. But all this is past; the door Is as tightly closed on Sunday morning as on Monday, and the only creatures that enter it are rats and mice. On one side of the church, the ground slopes gently down to a small hol low, where in wet weather there is a shallow pond. Beyond this are broad rolling meadows and still far ther a large orchard between the trees of which peep the white gables of a farmhouse. Down past the oth er side runs a narrow country- road, soon losing itself in a grave of trees. WORLD'S SUPPLY OF RADIUJI TO COME FROM PITTSBURG. Pittsburg is to become tho great est radium supply centre in tho world. The company operating the enterprise is headed by Joseph M. Flannery, who introduced vanadium into the steel business several years ago. The mines are located in Para dox Valley, Montrose county, near the foothills of Uncompahgree Moun tains. Tho nearest railroad station Is at Placeville, 55 miles distant. The ore is packed in bags of 80 pounds each and transported through the hills on burros, each animal carrying 240 pounds to a loading sta tion. The remainder of tho trip is covered by wagons. From Placeville the oro Is shipped to Canonsburg, Pa. where the reducing plant is located. Following the extraction of the radium it is sent to the radium re search laboratory in Pittsburg, where the latest known instruments in the delicate work of radium research are installed. The scales used In the laboratory weigh particles visible only by tho aid of the spactroscope. The research staff consists of a number of scientific experts and chemists, headed by Dr. Otto Brill, graduate of the University of Vienna. " Radium Is tho most valuable of metals, because it embodies the high est form of concentrated energy," said Doctor Brill. "An ounce Is worth i?3,000,000, and at present there Is not more than half an ounce of pure radium. Four pounds would pro pel the largest ocean liner. The possibilities of radium are now only dreamed of. So far we are applying it mainly In therapeutics. Tho re sults have been astounding. ("When applied externally such disease as external cancer, eczema, scrofula and the like readily yield to its Influence. Inwardly, It will euro rheumatism, gout, neuralgia and sciatica. Before long we shall have a larger supply of radium in Pitts burg than all the rest of the world."
