The class t motto, "Strive to Excel" occupied a prominent place at the rear. Promptly at eight o'clock the class, four iu number, escorted by the i Board of Directors, County Supt, and the Faculty entered the church to the i beautiful strains of the march, : "Youth's Triumph", played by S.

The Lime-Sulpher wash, an inex pensive preparation used for San Jose Scale can be made fir a few cents. For a barrel holding fifty gallons the following proportions are required: Seventeen pounds of sulpher, twenty-two pounds of lime which when properly prepared, suf ficient water is to be added so that you have fifty gallons of the spray ' mixture. The lime is to be well ! slacked first, and then the sulpher is 1 to be thoroughly mixed, after this 1 mixture is to be boiled at least an 1 hour, the boiling being as important ' as the ingredients. After the mix- ' ture is boiled the required time, more water is to be added till th< fifty gallons of the mixture is made 1 up. It is then ready for spraying on : the trees. So important is it that fruit growers destroy Sail Jose Scale if they would save their orchards that nearly every state in the Union has turned the attention of the ex perts of their Departments of Agri culture on the plan to destroy the scale and the afore mentioned wash has been the result of their best ef forts. So sure is it in its action that two trees, side by side, both infected with the scale, by spraying one and uot the other, the first will live while the second invariably shortly dies. Anyone may obtain free from the Department of Agriculture of Pennsylvania the monthly bulletin that treat of the pests of the orchard t>y sending a request to that effect to Prof. H. A.

One 1 of the good men of Mildred passed to hi* reward. The death of John Schaad Sr., of Mildred, means the loss of a noble friend to many citizens of this place, for lie was tha honest and sincere friend of all who were worthy of his friendship, lie was the most thor oughly honest man we ever had the •food fortune to meet. He was fond of wit and good cheer, and his friendship was not of the fair weath er kind. liis was a friendship no disturbance could frighten and no storm could drive away. The inon. ument he builded will live in our hearts and we will live in our hearts and we will remember John Schaad as one of the kindest as well and most faithful of men. Mr. Schaad was born in Germany in 1534, and carne to this country in 1858 and located in Oolley. lie was a soldier in the Rebellion. Ho came to Bern ice in 1870, started in the butchering business and continued in it for ten years, lie built one of the best hotels in Sullivan county and.was in the hotel business lifleen years. lie also was a distiller of the pure Schaad whiskey. The only political office he ever held was as road supervisor, and rather than serve two masters he re signed before hi- term expired. llis lift' was an active one, honor able and useful, anil he was a tine type of the sturdy German race from which he sprung, lie was a mem ber ol Bernice Lodge No. o<>2, and took an interest in everything that was for its benefit. That organiza tion has lost a valuable member and the town a good citizen. He is sur vived by his wife, one daughter and live sons, interment was made in Thrashers cemetery.
