Double Vnhio -of Good Highways.
From the LouIbvIIIo Courlor-Jour-nal:
Good ronds are double acting
they mako money for tho farmer
and with the money ho buys nn au
tomobile with which ho enjoys these
good roads. Good roads mean au
tomobiles for farmers; tho automo
bile Is helping to keep tho farmer's
boy at home, so good roads help keep
the family circle intact. A good
road may not cause two bushels of
corn to grow whore ono grew before,
but It will permit tho marketing of
several at tho former expense of
one.

FISH FROM WAYNK POND.
Brings Delight to I'eckvillo's Piscn
torinl Pilgrims Another Cntcli
Coining.
Tho return of Richard Bradley,
Dwight Beardslee, H. A. Thomas and
Arthur Thompson Saturday from an
automobile fishing trip to Williams'
pond was tho signal for tho mem
bers of tho Peckvllle Rod nnd Gun
club to gather at Hotel Wilson for
their annual banquet Tuesday.
Mr. Bradley gave to the members
a history of the trip. Mr. Thomp
son, in Isaac Walton style, told how
the biggest fish got away.
Mr. Thomas thrilled the members
of the club with enthusiasm by tell
ing of the big eel Mr. Bradley
caught but which became loosened
from the hook. Mr. Thomas pounc
ed down on the eel, which he stated
would weigh at least 10 pounds.
The eel, Mr. Thomas nnd all went
into the lake and the placid waters
of Williams' pond closed over them.
Mr. Thomas came back, but the eel
never.
The hit of the evening was by
Mr. Beardslee. His theme was
"Fishing with a silver hook." He
told how members of the club went
out fishing and without wetting a line
returned with n nice string of pick
erel, but lost their "sliver" hook.
Thompson and Thomas shot thirty
two water snakes while on the trip.
A snapping turtle as large as a wash
tub was hooked by Mr. Beardslee and
was being pulled Into the boat by his
partner, Mr. Thompson, when tho
line broke. The turtle fell back in
to the water and thus the club lost
their turtle soup.
Another delegation of club mem
bers went out Monday.
DEFENDS SUNDAY" FISHING.
Commissioner Median Says It's Just
ns Good ns Church-Going.
Advocating the repeal of the anti
Sunday fishing law, Commissioner
of Fisheries William E. Median, ad
dressing the meeting of the United
Sportsmen of Pennsylvania at Sus
quehanna, said the Sabbath, accord
ing to the Scriptures, is made for
man and not man for the Sabbath.
"It Is not n question of whether
or not Sunday ilshlng is prohibited
by the Bible," said Commissioner
Meehan, "but In case of being prac
tical and providing recreation and
legitimate rest on the day set aside
for that purpose.
"It does not take a fisherman to
see that the men of our cities are
far better off angling the bank of
a rustic stream than hanging about
tho town's street corners idling their
time in useless and harmful pas
times. "When we refuse even a man, as
some will say, this privilege of seek
ing the quiet of some shaded creek
with his hook nnd line, wo are deny
ing him an influence ns potent In
Its result as going to church. Wo are
refusing this class of man n chnnco
to become a better citizen.
"Can you deny that anyone Is un
der tho purest of Influences when
he Is communing with nnturo by tho
bank of the babbling brook? Ho
hears tho song of the birds that
know no wrong, ho sees tho listless
butterfly flying hither and thither
In Its innocences, ho nbsorbs refresh
ment and moral strength from tho
green trees and flowers. Going back
homo In tho evening, ho has strong
purposes In his heart and now Ideals
to strive toward.
"Wo cannot afford to restrict
these men who toll six days a week
from this good which might be
theirs on tho Sabbath. Fish were
not given to our streams alone for
the well-to-do anglers who enn nf
ford to Journey whenever thoy wish,
but they wore given to tho poor
man also.
"We aro throwing nsido tho best
moans of bettering our citizenship,
and then somo of us complain be
cause tho laboring men of our cities
are not abler and better men. I sin
cerely trust that at tho next meet
ing of the legislature this anti-Sun
day fishing law will be crossed off
the code, nnd I trust that our United
Sportsmen of Pennsylvania will do
all In their power to bring this ac
tion about."
Tho United Sportsmen aro strong
ly in favor of this action.
STIiOUI).SIlUllG'.S REUNION' PLANS.
Old Home Week In Water Gap Town
To tie Something Elegant.
Ono of the busiest committees of
tho Old Homo week celebration at
Stroudsburg Is tho parado commit
tee. The men who compose It nro
determined to lenve no stone un
turned that will In any way en
hance tho success of this Important
portion of the big week, tho week
ttint will bring more prominence to
Stroudsburg than any other in tho
100 years of its existence. The
committee has more work to do
than any other one nnd In conse
quence It was enlarged to bettor look
after the various details and the
meeting held nt the club rooms of
the Stroudsburg Industrial club was
not only very largely attended but
there wns more genuine enthuslnsm
than has been displayed slnco the ar
rangements of the week have been
commenced.
The flrst step wns to organize and
this was done by the election of A.
C. Sweazy chnlrmnn nnd T. C. Brown
secretary. The chairman then out
lined the work that fnced tho com
mittee and tho necessity of all work
ing in hnrniony. In order to get
tho best results he appointed a num
ber of sub-committees to look nfter
the vnrious parades that are listed
to be held during the week. By
means of this plan many little things
that might otherwise be overlooked
will receive the attention that Is de
served. The committees chosen fol
low: For fantastic parade Tuesday of
the week Charles T. Mansfield,
Howard Stofflet, George W. Race
ner, Augustus Miller.
Automobile and drivers' parade,
Wednesday W. Dolby Palmer, R.

will be many competitors for the
prizo.
Civil parade, Friday A. L. Sny
der. Mr. Snyder will endeavor to
ascertain how many lodges will turn
out by the time of the holding of
the next meeting and then he will
be given all the assistance he re
quires. Mr. Snyder Is a hustler In

pended upon to look after the du
ties referred to him with great care.

gustus Miller, C. T. Mansfield, George
W. Racener, Clayton Brown, John J.
White, Chief Harvey Smith of the
Phoenix and J. L. Harbaugh, chief

pany. Invitations have already been
sent out to a number of companies
to participate In the parade.
It is the object of the committee
to make the fantastic parade, which
will be the opener of the week, the
biggest of tho kind ever held In this
place, and this means much, because
there have been some very success
ful ones In the past. This Is not
confined to any particular class of
persons, but everyone in the bor
oughs is invited and urged to par
ticipate in it. The various details
will be given out shortly and also
the prizes that will be competed for.
There will be prizes for all the par
ades and the full list will be an

will be held at the same place Wed
nesday evening at 8 o'clock, when
nil the sub-committees appointed are

Into account Again, n larger hend
