WHITE MILLS.
May 2G. An article appeared in
one of tho Wayne county papers men
tioning "Hardenbergh for Governor
Wood for County Treasurer and Ross
for any old office." I wish to say,
that I think that Hardenbergh and
Wood are as well qualified as any
would-be aspirant for the offices men
tioned that ever wore political slip
pers in the county to-day, and I think
that Ross's being reappointed to his
office speaks well for his past services
as Commissioners' Clerk, and there Is
no doubt that he will bo In line for
something better by the time his pres
ent position expires: that is, if he fol
lows the customary rules of pro
motion. I am not mentioning him
for the office of Prothonotary.
The law has declared that if you
kill a man, you get eight years;
but if you steal a boy you get a
lifetime.
We expect to have some good
roads this season as William Hit
tinger is swinging the sledge
cracking stones, and Thos. Gill is

large blister on one of his hands.
Under the new law it is five dol
lars fine for a supervisor to do any
work on tho roads, but we are handi
capped in White Mills, as the sup
ervisor is a Justice of the Peace,
and we cannot get any warrant for
his arrest.
Have you observed that Ham &
Hlttlnger's calendar for 1909 has
changed tho date of the moon? viz:
May 2C, first quarter; and June 3d
new moon? I wonder If they will

calendar.
There was a sign printed In
White Mills and placed in a con
spicuous place; It read: "One hund
red dollar pitcher beaten by farm
ers." The Indian Orchard base
ball team wanted to secure two
professional players from White
Mills, but before engaging th'em
or the season they gave them a
..rial game on Sunday against the
Halfway House Farmers. The
Farmers defeated them by the
score of six to Ihe. So anxious
were the White Mills boys to rMn
i reputation for themselves as a
battery, that they could nut judge
how much exertion they watt -d,
but by these two profcssloui. not
reporting for duty on Monday It
goes to show that there was not
any hayseed, or files, on the so-
called buckwheat farmers.
At the time of the massacre of
General Slocuni by the Indians
there was planted a red oak
tree at the head of the Wyoming Val
ley. Said tree is still growing.
It measures at the trunk nineteen
feet and ten inches in cir
cumference and the diameter at
the top, from limb to limb, is 94
feet. It was measured last Sunday
by two residents of White Mills and
one of Indian Orchard. The three
men have taken up forestry as a
study. This is something that we
should encourage, especially among
tho younger element. I would like
to know how nearly the dimensions
of this tree compares with the big
elm tree above Honesdale.

a paper with a party.
Simple Rules for Self-Protection.
The commissioner's warning and
suggestions have reference not only
to grip but to tonsilitis, bronchitis,
colds and pneumonia. He asks nothing
impossible or difficult of the average
person. He expects no sacrifice, no
giving up of cherished habits. As he
well says, the price of immunity or of
health is not high, In fact, a little
thought and a little firmness is all
that he asks, and tho "price" sp'ls
more enjoyment and fuller life in the
long run.
Moderation in eating and drinking,
a reasonable amount of exercise,
walking in tho open air, ventilation of
houses and offices, avoldanoe of over
heated places and excessively heavy
clothing these are the very simple
and feasible forms of "Insurance"
w.'lch he prescribes. To know them
should be to adopt them. Chicago

Stick to tho Silo.
The farmer who allows a milk
dealer or anybody else to talk him
Into giving up his silo is not wise.
Bttcfc to your silo and jour banll
account will be all the better.
