i program had been arranged. Tho
1 principal speakers were Sirs. A. K.
Klllam and Dr. Russell Wall. The
' former spoke from seven years' ex
perience as teacher In seminary and
graded school work. Her well
written paper contained many valu-
able points of interest to teachers
and parents, urging upon tho latter
tho necessity of visiting the schools
more frequently and coming in closer
touch with tho teacher of their chil
dren. Dr. Wall, fresh from his
European studies, talked on that
important subject, "Tuberculosis,"
and what his profession Is doing to
stamp It out of existence and how
much parents and people In gen
oral can do to bring this about. Ho
stated that 9C per cent, of the chil
dren In Vienna and large cities in
this country are affected with this
disease which is highly contagious
but not hereditary, and not as preval
ent among children living in the
country. Fresh air tho chief cure.

morous remarks as well as giving
wholesome advice to an attentive

ing was interspersed with a vocal
solo by .Miss Freed and a piano solo

Report of Meeting of
"Board of Trade
FOLLOWING CANNED INTERVIEW
UIVKN TO PRESS ON MONTH
LY SniHTINCJ.
Whore Is the disgruntled person
who says tho Greater Honesdale
Board of Trade Is not doing any
thing? We want him to read care
fully the report herewith presented
the result of last Friday evoning's
regular monthly meeting.
Did they do anything? Well, if
you don't believe It just Inquire from
any member present and you will be
convinced that tho board does not in
tend to let the grass underneath its
feet.
Several important questions came
before the board and were disposed
of to the satisfaction of all concern
ed. Ono of these is the recognition
of home Industries. The Honesdalo
Union Stamp Shoe Company, which
has had a committee from out of
town wait upon It three times since
the first of January, to remove It
from Honesdalo will be able to sell
its stock at home and thus remain
here. The following resolution was
unanimously passed:
"Resolved, That it is the sense of
the Board of Trade of Honesdale
that financial assistance should be
given the Honesdalo Union Stamp
Shoo Company and the members of
this Board pledge themselves to sub
scribe liberally for the stock and
earnestly solicit liberal subscriptions
from the business men of Honesdale
and vicinity; that the soliciting
committee consist of SI. E. Simons, C.
T. Bentley and G. William Pell." The
resolution was made by F. P. Kimble
and seconded bv L. C. Wnnlcsr
The committee will attend to Its
duties this week, commencing at
once.
For the benefit of the public, es
pecially those who may become in
terested, we take great pleasure in
presenting the following excellent re
port of the standing of this plant:
Capital stock, $50,000, increased
from $30,000. Paid in, $25,000. In
vested In mnclilnerv nml fivturoc -
tween $0,000 and $7,000. Accounts
on books, between $8,000 and $9,
000. Half or moro of this is due,
wljile the rest Is not due. Tho bal
ance Is in stock, such as leather,
shoes manufactured and in course of
manufacture. The company has
over uu oruers on its books.
The board considered it their
bounden duty to help the home Indus
tries before attention was paid to
out-of-town plants locating here.
Where is "Enthusiast?" That fel
low who said the board of trade had
not accomplished anything. Let him
attend the next board of trade meet
ing and then he probably will not
write any more of the kind of letters
that appeared in a local paper about
a week ago.
The reader is led to inquire, "Well,
what did you accomplish?" We have
It right here. Tho formation of an
emergency fund. It is a fund to be
created by the business men of the
town and Is not exclusively support
ed by tho members of the board of
trade, but every business man in
Honesdale and vicinity who has the
welfare of the town at heart. The
proposition was presented by Presi
dent F. W. Kreltner and discussed In
detail by G. William Peil, C. P.
Searle and others. It Is a plan to
have a number of people obligate
themselves for a certain sum of mon
ey to be called only when a demand
Is made for same, and when It might
bo needed havo It understood that a
committee or one in authority be ap
pointed to have the handling of the
money without first applying to the
party who subscribes it. For In
stance, If there was a call for $5,000
that would necessarily be used for a
home enterprise or needed to assist
an out-of-town party, It could bo paid
on demand to bind the bargain and
not wait until a meeting of tho board
before any action could bo taken.
The proposition took tho meeting by
storm and created new life and vigor
in the board. Enthusiasm at present
is high and will remain so if the
membors will work In co-operation
with tho proposition at issue. After
the opinions of several of tho gentle
ment were expressed tho following
motion was carried that C. P. Searle
formulato'a paper in reference to
raising an omorgency fund and pre
sent said paper at the next meeting.
"Well, what else was accomplish
ed?" Enthusiast inquires.
The matter of extending East
street to East street extension by
purchasing Judge Wilson's property
and reinnvlnrr It tn n nunrliv din woa
another important move which the
uuaru recommenaeu 10 ine town
council for action. Chairman C. P.
Searln. of tho Rtront nml vnfv.tvoir
committee, stated at the suggestion
oi me secretary or me uoard or trade
he waited upon Mr. Wilson and also
Ulysses Beers and ascertained wheth
er or not either would consider tho
proposition. Ho said Judge Wilson
would be willing to sell his property
to the borough and that Sir. Boers
also desired to dispose of his houBO
and lot. Chairman Searle stated
that it would cost the borough about
$3,500 to make this necessary im
provement. The street would be
forty feet "wide. On motion of
Chairman Searle, seconded by F. P.
Klmblo It was carried that the board
of trade rftpnmmnnrl in tha -trmrn
council of the borough of Honesdalo
mat uaBi street ue opened up, con
necting with East street extension.
Tho Street and Highway committee
also referred to the town council tho
removal of the numerous street
boards used by amusement houses to
advertise their respective shows from
night to night. The committee
claimed that If merchants did It they
probably would have to pay for the
privilege, wny not others?
I Under Jlall nnd Transportation, J.
i D. Weston, chatrmnn of that com
mittee, reported that on Tuesday
next tho matter of the Gurney Elec
trical Elevator company would bo
taken- up with the Delaware and Hud
son. That officials of the road
would be here on thnt day and the
matter of a site for this concern
would undoubtedly bo chosen.
The resignation of C. J. Smith,
President of the Greater Honesdale
Board of Trade since organization,
last August, was read and accepted.
Sir. Smith claimed that ho did not
have the time to devote to tho office
on account of a pressuro of business.
Nominations were then in order
for a successor. W. 11. Dlmmlck
nominated F. W. Kreltner. S. T.
Ham seconded the nomination. He
was unanimously elected.- R. J.
Murray, second vice president was
elected to first vice president, suc
ceeding President Kreltner, nnd S.
T. Ham to second vice president.
Bills to the amount of $10.81 were
ordered paid.
Before adjournment a motion was
carried thanking the secretary, E.
B. Callaway, for the efficient manner
in which ho Is performing his du
ties. The sesslbn was largely attended
considering tho weather conditions
and everybody who ventured out felt
amply repaid. The old board ap
parently has a new lease of life. The
now executive board will hold semi
monthly meetings and discuss ques
tions and communications received
and place same before the meeting
in an intelligible manner for final
action or confirmation by the board,
at the succeeding meetings.
TAFT AND THE BOY SCOUTS.
The boy scouts of Jlount Washing
ton are building the first scout arm
ory in America. It is to be a beauti-
ful camp deep in the primeval wild
erness of our oldest suburb and pitch
ed by the sldo of the raging waters
of Western run, where, .far from the
madding crowd, the little courrlers
des bois will assemble their trophies
and gather round the firo to recount
their deeds of heroism and manly
gallantry. The fact that this camp
will have anything so modern as a
swimming pool, gymnasium and li
brary, not to mention a large play
ground for the little birls, only
shows that scout life has made some
progress since tho days when tho
aborigines of .Mount Washington
carried tomahawks and eagle feath
ers. Readers of the Sun will have noted
with interest the reports of the audi
ence which President Taft gave to a
delegation of tho scouts who called
on him last week to Invite him to be
present at the dedication of thoir
now homo next month and to partake
on that occasion of the hardy camp
fare of scout life. The President,
who is head of the Boy Scouts of
America, gave his fellow-scouts of
Mount Washington a very cordial
reception, and there Is every reason
to believe that he will on this aus
picious occasion honor Baltimore
with his presence, as mny also Sir.
Roosevelt. Both of these men, like
all big men, still have much of the
small boy in them, and nothing could
appal to them more strongly than
such an opportunity to fraternize on
a basis of scout equality with those
little men; and certainly nothing
could appeal moro strongly to the
imagination ot the country than to
see Its Chief .Magistrate take off a
lew valuable hours to do honor to
tho small boys of tho nation. This
boy scout movement has literally
swept England and America, and
tons of thousands of lads are learning
yie lessons of field and fellowship.
The vvholo movement for outdoor
life as expressed In the efforts for
better playgrounds for the little ones
In the cities, for better athletic fa
cilities everywhere, for trips afoot
ana aneia and for suburban and
country life generally, is worthy of
every encouragement, and we hope
the President will take advantage of
the occasion at Slount Washington
to help along the cause. His pres
ence and the few words ho might
there care to say, telegraphed over all
the world, are bound to win a re
sponse and do lasting good wherever

An appeal to

Everyone who ovns a home is
anxious that that home shall make
the best appearance possible. Two
things are necessary to produce satis
factory results in painting and var
nishing a home:
First A satisf nctory color scheme.
Second Paints, vatnishes, stains
and enamels of such good quality that
they not only give the exact color
effect required, but are sufficiently
durable to keep up the attractive ap
pearance of the house in spite of the
wear and tear of living in it.
These are offered by the Sherwin
Williams Paints and Varnishes. The
Sherwin-Williams Co. not only make
every kind of paint and varnish used
