Hazleton has a Grocers' Protect ive Association, and that organiza tion is now preparing a list of "dead beat" customers, which will be dis tributed among all the members. No goods will be sold to persons on the list until they make settlement of their indebtedness. The plan has worked well so far, as many delin quents have settled old debts to keep their names off the list. Bloomsburg merchants formed a similar organization several years ago. The threat of placing their names on the "dead beat" list have caused some delinquents to settle, but there are others who are dead to honor to such an extent that they would'nt pay up if their names were to be scattered broadcast through the streets.

Chas. S. Fornwald, l George W. Sterner, Committee. William I). Moyf.r, J Scarcity oi Teachers. There is a dearth of School teachers in Sullivan County, lhe Laporte News Item comments as follows upon the situation: Some schools in the county are yet without a teacher and the time for opening is at hand. If good teachers are actually getting scarce in Sullivan County we think it would be better to raise the salaries instead of accept ing teachers of an inferior class. Children had better not be taught at all than to be brought up under the trajning of some cheap rattle brain who are contented with small pay for "smaller services."
