PACK a THE CITIZEN, FRIDAY, JU1A' 7, 1011. The Citizen will publish In each Issue of the week one of the essays or declamations, which formed part of the Com mencement exercises of the Honesdale High school for the benefit of those who were unable to be present at the exercises. The following valedictory address was spoken by Hiss Sarah A. Men nor at the High School Commence' ment exorcises, Tuesday evening, Juno 13: "0MG1N OP COMMENCEMENT." "As surely as eash years brings Juno and her flowers, which we all love, so It brings the world over commence ment and Its attendant festivities, 'Although each spring we attend the graduation exercises, perhaps many of us have given little or no thought to the origin of commencement or Its slgnlflc. ce. The word commence ment did not originate from the fact that the exercises were sometimes held at the beginning Instead of the end of the school year, nor as many people think because the graduates Having unisbed their school course, are entering upon the course of life to cope with Its problems and diffi culties, but originated In the medie val universities of continental Europe. The desrees of Master and Doctor are much older than the Dacneiors degree, and in the first universities were granted to those students who had completed the course which covered seven years, and were consequently thought cap able of Instructing others. The 'bachelor or student who had finished the first three years of the course was required to teach for a certain period after receiving his bachelor's degree, as a part of his preparation for his Master's degree and the master instructor having completed the seven years' course, after gradu ation, was compelled to commence and continue for a fixed time to teach publicly so that graduation or the time for receiving the degrees was therefore called commencement. "At the first commencements the recipients of the bachelor's degree incepted or taught, and those upon whom a higher degree was conferred defended a thesis. Since then, how over, the features of the exercises have changed essentially. For In stance, In one of the old universities. each candidate for the degree besides teaching was compelled to flog a boy to prove to the faculty and the pub lic that he was capable of governing his scholars and worthy of receiving the degree about to be conferred up on him. At the University of Paris, the first Institution of Its kind, the students instead of receiving gifts as they do now, were forced to make presents of sweetmeats, gloves and even gowns to the members of the faculty. Our faculty would, no doubt, favor a revival of this custom. At another university in the sixteenth century, at the commencement exer cises the student was given an open book, from which he was to expound one of the laws, a biretta or cap was placed upon his head and a ring upon his finger after which the promoter, the members of the faculty who con ferred the degrees, left the graduate with a fond embrace, a benediction and a kiss. The requirement that all graduates should ser.ve as teach ers was gradually relaxed till teach ing was made entirely optional and commencement came to be as at present, simply the occasion when degrees of all grades were conferred. "Iu the middle ages there were no exercises of any kind at the end of the grammar or high school course.. However, as American colleges and universities sprang up, patterning their graduation exercises after those of the European universities, the high schools soon began to observe commencement, having exercises as nearly as possible like those of the colleges until at the present time nearly every school which grants s diploma has some form of commence ment exercises. "In behalf of the Class of 1911 It Is my privilege to extend a final greeting. To you, our worthy prin cipal and members of the faculty, we feel the deepest gratitude for the many kindnesses you have shown us during the past four years and hope that you will forgive and forget all our misdeeds and remember only the good. "Fellow Classmates, as I syllablo the word of severance which parts us from our dear alma mater to enter upon that broader life which awaits us, let me point you, in the words of Henry Van Dyke, to Foot-Paths of Peace: "Be glad of life because lr gives you the chance to love and tc work and to play and to look up at the stars; be satisfied with your pos sessions but not contented with your self until you have made the best of them, dlspise nothing In the world except falsehood and meanness and fear nothing except cowardice; be governed by your admiration rather than by your disgusts, covet nothing that is your neighbor's except his kindness of heart and gentleness of manners, think seldom of your ene mies, often of your friends and every day of Christ and spend as much time as you can with to-day and with spirit In God's out-of-doors, these are little, gentle posts on the foot path of peace."

Manglno had cashed a check and was nttacked by three negroes, who beat him fatally and hid his body. He survived long enough to tell his story. THE COTTONV MAPLE SCALE. The Cottony maple scale Is now making Its, appearance as a very con spicuous and destructive pest on maple trees grown as shade and or namental trees on the streets of many boroughs In Pennsylvania. To one of the many Inquiries on this subject, Professor H. A. Surface, of Harrlsbilrg, replied as follows: "Dear Sir: The Insects which you sent on your maple twigs are the Cottony maple scale. The eggs will hatch in June, and the very minute pink Insects will crawl over the branches and fix themselvos and form protecting scales over themselves, and feed by injecting a poisonous saliva into the tree and sucking out the modified sap by means of a long proboscis, Just as a mosquito attacks us. "They grow until fall, when they lay a large mass of very small pink eggs, and protect them by putting over them quite a quantity of a cotton-like substance. The appearance of the Infested twigs Is very much as though they had grains of pop corn attached to them, and has Jus tified one correspondent in calling It 'pop-corn on a stick.' It Is owing to this cottony appearance that this in sect, which attacks the maple tree as one of its most serious pests, is call ed the Cottony maple scale. "The eggs remain under these cotton-like tufts until the early part of summer, when the little pink In sects emerge and crawl over the bark, being then, In common with other young Insects, called 'bark lice,' and thus completing their life cycle. "Owing to the fact that these are suctorial insects and injure the trees only by Inserting the long sharp proboscis through the outer covering and Into the living tissue, injecting a poisonous saliva, and sucking out the modlfiedsap, Just as a mosquito attacks us. It Is Impossi ble to destroy the pest by arsenical applications which could be placed only on the outside of the bark. For this reason practical remedies must consist of what are called contact sprays rather than arsenltes. These may include strong soap solutions, and a very strong tobacco decoc tion, kerosene emulsion (about ten per cent.), or dilute lime-sulfur sol ution. Perhaps the best remedy Is ono pound of whale oil soap In five or six gallons of water. An effec tive application is one pound of soft soap or brown 'laundry soap In two or three gallons of water. "The date of application is very Important. This Is to be made after the eggs hatch and when the young are moving or crawling over the bark and leaves. As with all scale insects a thorough application of a mild contact insecticide, which is not strong enough to Injure the leaves. will prove particularly effective at this special time in the life of the pest. Two thorough applications of a spray at proper strength, applied at an interval of a week, should be enough to clean up the trees. If any pests should remain alive, they can ue Killed alter the leaves drop n the fall 'by using a strong contact spray, the same as for San Jose scale. THREE LITTLE ANECDOTES. One of Them Relating to Nebrnsku Politics Told by Dijau. "Who got hit with that brick?" is the question that is asked of an ac tive lawyer In this city, whose name shall be withheld. It seems that his aged client a native of Ireland passing a building one day, was hit by the fall of a brick. It was sug gested to him that he could get dam ages. He employed this lawyer. The case was settled out of court for J-'OO. The client straightway went to the lfiwvpr'a nfllrp. irlioro li fo ceived a folded check, with which he waineu out into the corridor. There noticing that It read $50 he returned to the lawyer's ofllce, and calling him by name put this question: "Mr. Blank, was it you or I that got hit with that brick?" Another lawyer In this city, one of whose Incidental accomplishments was his skill as a vocalist, says that tllG UlOst llnnmcinn- Intrnilllntlnn na n public speaker to which he was ever subjected was this: " Here is Mr. So and So, a gentleman who Is known amonir lawvnns as .1 plnnr nn.i known among singers as a lawyer." mis recaus wnuani J. Uryan's famous story of his first campaigning tor in opposition to the Republican candidate for Governor of Nebraska, In which many bitter personalities were allowed expression. Some time after Bryan was Invited to speak be for a gathering at which this very man was to preside. Bryan reflected on the awkwardness of their meet ing, thinking how displeased the Governor must be by the recollection of Bryan's bitter t-hrusts of the sam palgn and all that. But as the name of William J. Bryan was passed up to the presiding officer on a slip he whispered: "Let's see, does he speak or sing?" Boston Herald. WANT HUSBANDS HOME. Pittsburg Women Succeed in Closing Club Hats at 1 A. M. Pittsburg, July 3. As a result of complaints from wives and mothers regarding husbands and sons who have been getting home at unseemly hours, from their clubs, the follow ing notice appeared in the barrooms of all clubs in Greater Pittsburg last week: "No more drinks will be served at this bar after 1 o'clock In the morn ing." The order was issued by Superin tendent of Police McQuaide, and, It Is said, will be strictly enforced. " ATE KING GEORGE'S DREAD. Only Saskatchewan's 12 Pound llus kct Graced the Coronation. Twenty thousand wheat growers of Saskatchewan, Canada's "bread basket," sent to King George as a coronation present a silver bread basket weighing twelve pounds and filled with bread made from Saskat chewan wheat flour. It Is supposed that some ono ate the bread enroute, as It was not to ho found when the basket reached England. TRADE IS M THE INCREASE. Advance In Prosperity Remark able In Porto Rico. IMPORTS AND EXPORTS GAIN, Agricultural and Industrial Pursuits In Better Shape Today Than Ever Bn fore Eradication of Hookworm Hat Wholesome Effect. A remarkable advance Iu the pros Icrity of Porto Rico Is shown In a re port of the agricultural experiment sta tion on the island, Just published by Secretary of Agriculture Wilson. The total trade of the island, exports and imports, iu 11)01 wns $17,500,000. This increased in 1010 to $08,000,000. It is stated that this expaudlug trade has greatly unvoted not only all the indus tries of the Island, but has materially Increased the living standard. The whole prosperity of the Island, says the report, Is founded on the soil and climate. The natural resources have long ago been exhausted b.v 11 population that Is thicker than that ot any state In the Union except two The gold mining which was a uatural resource has dwindled to nothing. The population, In spite of being dense. Is scattered over the Island rather than centered in the towns. Therefore the agricultural population is large, and the materinl prosperity of the people depends on the soil. Big Exports of Sugar. The exports of the island in 1010 totaled $:!7,ti(0,210. Of this $24,000,000 was in sugar and molasses. The sugar crop has always been one of the chief reliances of the people, and the Hat strip of land around the seaeoasl has been devoted to sugar culture. Since the American occupation of the island the sugar industry has made phenome nal growth, and future expansion must be by methods of more intensive cul tlvatlon. The Industry Is so paying that the planters want to raise sunar all the time, and this Is deprecated by the department, which is trying to in augurate a system of crop rotation as being a better and mor-e conservative system for the soil. While the exports of coffee from the Island last year were $o,(!0.",(;02, there was less than $22,000 worth of It sold In the United States. This Is said to be due to the fact that the coffee is a very high grade black coffee, such as Is used largely abroad for after dinner coffee and lor which there Is a com paratively small demand here. Much Tobacco Sent Out. Tobacco and Its manufactures were exported to the amount of $5,7o;!,214. There also has been a large Increase in the shipments of fruit. The exports of wild oranges five years ago amounted to.$125,:!ll, and last year the fruit ex ports totaled $1,41(1,047, of which oranges made up $5S2,71(1. The most curious result of prosperity has been that the live stock exports, which a few years ago were three or four hundred thousand dollars, have stopped entirely. The Island Is now a hinge Importer of not only all sorts of live stock, but of dressed and cured meats. The price of horses and all sorts of work animals has advanced materially, and the people are eating so much more meat than they nre rais ing that mcat'has to bo imported. The general condition of the people Is much better than formerly, largely In response to the eradication of the hookworm, while the soil has been made to respond more freely to Im proved methods of culture.

Crocker of San Fran cisco and her staff of veterinarians cornered the egg market so as to prop erly feed her Boston terriers and Kronen bulls In her $100,000 kennels. Each dog is given at least two eggs dally. This demand drained the egg market.
