Beware of the barb wire fence
fiend, who puts the lightning rod
shark in the rear. He proposes to the
farmer to put up an eight wire fence
at eight cents per foot. This seems
so cheap the farmer usually signs Jtho
contract,,, and when the bill comes
In, which" It iSBure to do; the deluded
farmer finds he has agreed tO pay
eight cents per foot for each -wire-
When the scheme works he has to
surrender his farm in part payment
and give his note for the balance.
Hence, we say, beware.

Tho Financial Review, of Scran
ton, has tho following regarding our
saving banks: Most gratifying re
ports of the condition of the Wayne
County Savings Bank, Dime and
Farmers' and Mechanics' Bank of
Honesdale, were made at the close
of business of the respective banks,
November 6, 1909, as tho result of a
call issued by the State Commis
sioner of Banking. The Wayne
County Savings Bank, which stands
38th in the United States and 10th
In Pennsylvania, during the past six
months shows an Increase in the
savings department of $91,868.80,
and Its surplus profits show an in
crease of $26,654.61. The Hones
dale Dime Bank, organized in 1906,
presents an increase in Its savings
department during the same period
of time of $39,403.53, and Us net
earnings amount to $7,470.25. Tho
Farmers' and Mechanics' Bank,
founded in 1907, made the best show
ing In the history of that institution
by making a magnificent gain of
$42,256.28 on the savings depart
ment and an Increase in earnings
of $3,606.64. The cashiers and di
rectors of all the above-mentioned
banks have reason for feeling proud
of the reports of their respective In
stitutions. Our National Bank,
which Is under Rational control,
also makes a most gratifying report,
and show that the same ratio of pros-,
perlty tiaa come to th'em.

We read In the columns of our
contemporary the account of a team
or horses belonging to one of our
liverymen, bulling a truck loaded
with an eight-ton boiler. As this
boiler only weighed a little more
than three ton, when It was pur
chased, it could not have taken on
any weight by being used. There Is
not n team of horses in Wayne coun
ty that can pull a truck weighing
2700 pounds loaded with an eight
ton boiler over the streets of Hones
dale.

union which God permitted them to
enjoy for neary 55 years, a union
broken by the going away of Mr.
Hand on the 16th of July last. Three
sons were born to Mr. and Mrs. Hand
Charles W., Rev. Alfred C, and
Henry S. Hand. Alfred C. died sev
erui years ago. airs, nana was a
woman of marked Intelligence and re-

THREE NEW CANAIS ON MARS
Professor Lowell Says They Look Like
Work of Intelligent Beings.
Boston, Nov. 25. Three new cnnals
have been discovered on tho planet
Mars by Professor Perclval Lowell at
his Arizona observatory.
This announcement of now signs of
activity by the Martians Is a direct
contradiction to the recent report
among astronomers that disturbances
on tho planet showed that all life
thero had been destroyed in somo
great catnstrophe.
Profossor Lowell says ho found
throe or four new canals of recent
making on Mars. These canals look
like signs of intelligent work rnthor
than natural workings. His view is
that they are sure signs of Intelligent
activity and of human beings existent
n Mars.
