Wuyiio nnd Pike, AVnyno and Lackn wnnim nnd AValleii-l'aupuck Tele phone Co.'s Consolidate Neiv Cor poration Will Bo Known As Pair pack Telephone Co. Cousolidu tion Means Better Service. Consolidation and centralization are the business methods of the age, and all in tho interest of the people notwithstanding suspicion to tho con trary. From three to twelve years last past three lines of telephone liavo threaded the surrounding country for 400 miles into a section naturally converging in Hawley. Tho con venlence of these lines to the people In these sections has been incalcul able and while the service has been excellent still a higher excellence has been possible and desirable. With this end In view there has been a disposition and movement on tho part of the men Interested In these lines, to bring them all undor ono management. About a month ago, according to the Hawley Times, the Wayne and Lackawanna com pany, with wires extending from Hawley via Hemlock Hollow and Ariel to Scranton, and tho Wallon Paupack company with wires extend ing from Hawley to Ledgedale, Sa lem, Hamlin and Moscow, met to frame overtures of consolidation to the Wayno nnd Pike Independent Telephone company with wires ex tending from Hawley to Paupack, South Sterling and Pocono. These overtures resulted In a special meet ing of the stockholders of the three companies held Dec. 28, 1910, when an agreement was entered Into for merging these corporations Into new ono, to be known as the Pau pack Telephone company, with t capitalization of $50,000. The officers of the new company aro as follows: President, Dr L. P. Coke, Hawley; vice-president, Frank lin A. Peet, Hamlin; secretary, J. F. McFarland, Ariel; treasurer, E. P. Jones, Ariel. Tho directors aro W. J. Davis, John Cleland, Scranton; J. G. Williams, M. R. Abby, Hamlin; Dr. H. C. White, Ariel; B. F. Kllllam, Pan pack; T. N. Cross, Crosses; C. F; Kellam, Ledgedale. This now company will begin at once material improvement of the present service and extension of the lines. Thero will bo scarcely a point throughout rural Wayne, Pike, Lack awanna and Monroe counties with which it will not soon bo possible to get Into Instant and satisfactory com munication. Tho combined lines have about 3C0 subscriptions and there is good ground for believing that the number will be greatly increased as tho lines are extend ed. It is the Intention of the company to specially develop territory In and adjacent to Newfoundland at an ear ly date. " With the Wayne and Pike Inde pendent Telephone company the new company takes over the valua ble franchise granted to the old company by the borough of Hawley wherein by ordinance they had the right to erect poles, string wires and do a general telephone business.

Tons of Food in a Lifetime. It a man of 70 years was starving. it would probably be little comfort to him to think that he had consum ed in the course of his lll'o 3 tons of solid food and 43 tons of liquid loou, or about 1,2&Q times his own weight In both solids and liquids, out it would be true. Being a man of averago annetlto ana purse, ho would have eaten 15 tons of bread, which would have mado a single loaf containing 1,300 cubic feet and appearing about as largo as tho suburban homo, and on this bread he would have spread one ton or butter, if his bacon had been cut In a single slice, says Harper's weekly, the strip would have been four miles long and his chops placed end to end would have extended two miles. Twenty ordinary-sized bullocks have supplied him with beef, 18 tons or which he has eaten, along with & tons or llsh and 10,000 eggs and 350 pounds of cheese. If ho had elected to have all his vegetables served at once they would have come to him in a train of cars, the pod containing all his peas being over three miles long, He has had 9,000 pounds of su gar, 1,500 pounds of salt, 8 pounds pepper and 100 cans of mustard Three pints of liquid a day would have amounted to 76,000 pints, or 42 tons. If ho had been a smoker he would have burned about half a ton of tobacco in a pipe, or if he preferred cigarettes he would have smoked about 250,000, HOW'S THIS?
