FRIDAY, JULY 7, 1011. NOBODY HURT. It is with intense gratification that we place the above caption over this short editorial on the aftermath of the Fourth. Honesdale and the rest of the country celebrated quietly, without danger and with just as much patriotism and sincerity as previous Fourths attended by much noise and many Injuries. It would seem that the country was at last awaken ing to the fact that lockjaw is not a proof of love for the Stars and Stripes and that a boy in the home is worth two In the hospital. . :U: KEEPING COOL. Think of the Massachusetts coast being as hot as Yuma, Arizona, and that there were more deaths on the Fourth due to heat than to firecrackers and toy pistols and you will readily agree that it is some hot even if your wilted collar does not advise you of the fact without any invidious com parisons. To those who want to keep cool these days, we offer the following. We do not guarantee its efficacy but we are confident that our "don'ts" may bring some small relief If conscientiously tried. Don't drink much ice water. Don't overeat. Don't eat much meat. i Don't worry. , , Don't drink alcoholic beverages. ' Don't avoid bathing. Don't exercise any more than you have to. Don't read so-called summer literature. Get a book about the North Pole and revel in snow storms, Ice bergs, glaciers, etc., and you'll be surprised to find out how much cooler you feel. :0: f TDK I. C. S. AND THE EXPRESS COMPANIES. The Interstate Commerce Commission has at last decided to investi gate the workings of the express companies. This Is good news. They ought to be looked into by an official investigation that should be thor ough, impartial and exhaustive with a view to recommending a parcels post such as foreign countries enjoy and the establishment of which has hitherto been prevented by the influence of the express companies. In the matter of the parcels post, for instance, we note that it costs 48 cents to send a four-pound parcel from Philadelphia to Pekln and 04 cents to send the same parcel from Philadelphia to Camden; and that the parcel to Pe kln may weigh 13 pounds but the parcel to Camden if It Is to go through the mails must not weigh more than four. Such a condition of affairs is not only unfair but preposterous and it ought to be changed as soon as possible. In Germany a package weighing as much as 110 pounds goes through the mail at a very low postal rate. Is not the United States as well able to have parcels post as our German brethren? We think It Is and hope that the Investigation about to take place will go a long ways towards bringing such a desirable condition of affairs from dreams into actualities. . . , . " :0: A. " A NITROGEN DISCOVERY FOR FARMERS. Two gentlemen of the Cornell University Agricultural Experiment Station have made many researches into the nitrification of crops. It has long been known that alfalfa, peas, beans, clovers and vetches make their own fertilizing nitrates by means of bacteria attached to their roots which extract the nitrogen from the air. Grain, potatoes and other plants, which are not legunimous are limited by the amount of nitrates in the soil. Now It is shown that the growth of legumes may also furnish introgenous food to other plants growing with them and also aid in the nitrification of the soil for future crops of grain, potatoes, etc. So hereafter farmers will do well to mix with their sowings of timothy and oats, some alfalfa, red clover and peas for these gentlemen at Cornell have discovered that the percentage of protein in timothy is Increased from 12.75 to 15.56 by sowing it with alfalfa and from 17.19 to 24. 5C by mixing with red clover. In the same way protein increases were obtain ed by mixing oats with peas and It was found the number of pounds of hay per acre when sown with oats alone were 3,700 and 2,900 compared with 4,850 and 3,900 when peas were mixed with the oats. This is a valuable discovery and seems certain to prove of great bene fit to farmers throughout the country. LUTHER LEAGUE CONVENTION.

At half-past two o'clock In the afternoon Former Representative Fuerth introduced Rev. Father who said among other things: "Though I am not thoroughly ac quainted with the purpose and ob ject ot your organization, still I am pleasingly convinced that some very good work must have been ac complished in the Grange since its beginning. Your very meeting here on this day speaks to me ot your loyalty to the flag and your emi nently solid American heart and spirit. To-day we are celebrating the land over our peculiarly own American day, not only the birthday ot a new God-blessed nation, but also that natal day, on which a new sun of human equality and liberty arose in the political skies of the world. We fully understand the mighty sig nificance of the Fourth of July. We know, it is a day not only for mere joyous festivities, but a commemora tion of the greatest event in politi cal human history. We know that one hundred and thirty-flvo years ago, when the old Liberty Bell in Philadelphia sang out the first joy ous peals of a new Western Repub lic, our forefathers adopted a new political program, that all men are born free and equal. And to-day we bless God and the flag, that the old spirit is still with us; that we are the sons of the pioneers, not only of a new country, but also of newly vindi cated principles. To-day, under the flag, we proclaim again, that taxa tion without representation is tyran ny, that we shall not be governed against our will. "The time since July 4, 177C, has witnessed many changes, solved many problems. The republic has outlived a century, new conditions confront us; new perils menace us. But I have marvelous faith In the providence of God and the progress of humanity. I have faith in the powerful and national loyal heart of America which clings fast to lib erty and sooner or later rights wrongs and settles all those difficult world-problems. I have faithin the farmers boys, who from the time of Lincoln down to the present day, have become the leaders of the na tion and saved the Republic. May God bless the grangers; may the Grange be free from political boss ism, and may your boys and girls be a bulwark of American principles and protection of the flag."

The center piece of the bride's table at dinner which followed was a huge bowl of carnations. Louis T. Butler, a son, was toastmaster, and they were presented with many val uable gifts of gold. Later the attendants listened to piano selections and as a special fa vor an oration by Lea Butler. The aged people were than taken for a fine spin in their son William's au tomobile.

FOURTH 0 THE SUMMER BOARDER The beauties and charms of Wayne county as a summer resort are be ing published far and wide and the county is fast becoming the mecca for city guests. Northern Wayne is very attractive. Poyntelle on the pinnacle of the Moosic highlands and the region roundabout It that sparkles with the mirroring of scores of beautiful lakes, has tor many years been a fav orite resort for the people of the Lackawanna valley, despite the fact that they have been sorely handi capped in not having a convenient train service thereto. Here the ..Igh peaks and plateaus are twenty-three hundred feet above tide, and de lightful refreshing breezes keep cool the long months of summer, bringing comfort to sojourners and healtful glow to paling cheeks, and a lithe someness to the body that means for physical recreation and a regenera tion of the mind. Many New York, Brooklyn and Philadelphia persons love the Poyn telle highlands above all others, and these are discriminating people whose means have permitted them to seek far for the idealistic in na ture, and who having found it here, come regularly year after year to en joy it.

OUR BOYS EDITED BY ONEOFTHERfl KING REVIEWS' ,,fY SCOUTS. :sr.,000 Gathered at Windsor Many Had Camped in the Park. King George, nccompanled by Queen Mary and other members of the royal family, surrounded by a brilliant staff of distinguished offi cers of the navy, reviewed in Wind sor Great Park on the Fourth an army of 35,000 boy scouts gathered from all parts of the United Kingdom and from some of the colonies. The weather was beautiful. Drawn up in a huge semicircle in front of the royal inclosure the boys, dressed in the universally adopted scouts' uniform of blue, khaki, or gray, with flat-brimmed khaki hats, and brilliant handkerchiefs of vari ous hues, formed a picturesque spec tacle. They formed in eight divis ions, the place of honor being occu pied by 2,000 King's scouts, who were selected from the various troops as the most efficient, and made a guard of honor for the King. Just behind these were posted 120 life savers, all of whom have been decorated for life saving. As the King came on the parado ground the band of one of the Guards regiments struck up the na tional anthem, and the scouts stood at the salute with their staves while they sang the first verse of "God Save the King." Then the King rode along the lines, closely inspecting the boys. SAVINGS IN THE- FARMERS AND MECHANICS BANK $1 Will Open an Account.
