GINSENG
ROOM
NOW
UNDER
If
Unusual Demand for Com
modity Supply of Which
is Very Low
CHINESE DEAIiEHS AHH LAWiK
JA' IN COXTUOL OF THE
THADE.
Wayne county ginseng growers,
ot whom there are many, one of the
largest ginseng farms In the coun
try belnc located In the shire, will
be Interested In the consular reports
which say that another ginseng boom
is under way.
United States Consul Anderson at
Hong Kong reports that thero is an
unusual demand for ginseng on the
Chinese market at the present time,
and the supply is lower now than at
any period for several years. The
Imports into Hong Kong during 1910
were less than they have been dur
ing any year since 190G. The Im
ports of ginseng into Hong Kong
from the United States of recent
years have constituted practically
the whole imports of ginseng into
the colony from all sources. In 1908
the total Imports were 146,933
pounds, of which the United States
sent 134,200, and previous to that
year Korea and Japan furnished
some of the imports.
In spite of the call for ginseng
numerous obstacles, the consul says,
are often In the way of the Ameri
can producer who desires to sell his
roots in China by transactions with
the oriental dealers direct. Owing
to the peculiar nature of the ginseng
trade, the peculiar nature of the
product Itself, the uncertain ele
ments which enter Into Its value,
such as the shape and appearance of
the root and its dryness and other
specific conditions, it is Impractica
ble, if not impossible, to value a lot
until it is examined by the Chinese
dealers, who are largely in control
of the trade.
To consign shipments to these
dealers direct to a place, place the
shipper altogether In the power of
the consignee. The most satisfac
tory plan so far has been to sell the
American product on the market
here through some of the reliable
Import commission houses, which
are in a position to hold the goods
until fair value can lie had.
The Chinese side of the trade is
in the control of a trade organiza
tion or arrangement among Chinese
dealers, which renders it difficult If
not Impossible to deal direct. Com
mission houses handle the product
upon a small commission and they
can he dealt with safely by the
American shipper.
TO PHOSECUTE OWICKltS OP
KEYSTONE GUAUD.
National Protective Association Sold
$70,000 Assets for $18,000.
A news dispatch sent out from
Harrlsburg says: "Criminal proceed
ings will probably be Instituted
against the former officers of both
the Keystone Guard and the Nation
al Protective association, according
to an unofficial statement by Deputy
Attorney Jesse E. B. Cunningham,
who has been handling the cases for
tho state.
"Mr. Cunningham said this follow
ing a hearing in the application by
the state for a receiver for the Na
tional Protective association, a re
ceiver having already been appoint
ed for the Keystone Guard at the re
quest of the state.
"'Mr. Cunningham qualified, how
ever, by saying that just at present
the state is interested in recovering
the money from both concerns for
tho stockholders, and in straighten
ing out tho affairs generally, rather
than sending any one to Jail until
that was done.
"The two Insurance orders were
wrecked in much the same manner,
the officials of each having sold out
to the American Patriots, a New
York concern, for a mere song.
"During tho hearings, which re
sulted in tho receiver being appoint
ed for the Keystone Guard, It was
shown In court that the officials had
turned over the assets and other
property to the American ' Patriots
solely for the benefit of their private
purses.
"It is alleged against tho officials
of the National Protective association
that about ?70,000 assets went to
the American Patriots, for which the
protective officials got about ?18,
000. SAYS PAKISTAN WOMEN
HAVE GONE DKKSS MAI).
"Tho women of Paris are dress
mad," says a New York milliner.
"Among them Is great competition
as to who will wear the newest
gowns. Every woman wants to be
first at tho races with a new gown.
There is great extravagance in Paris
among the dressy rich.
"Parisian women who consider
themselves smart dress from eight to
ten times during the twenty-four
hours. First, In the morning, they
dress for riding In the Bols do Bou
logne; second, they dress for break
fast; third, they dress for shopping;
fourth, they dress for a walk In tho
Avenue des Acacias; fifth, they dress
for luncheon, which they take at tho
Chateau Madrid; sixth, they dress
for the races; seventh, they dress for
tea at tho Pre Catelain; eighth, they
dress for dinner at Armonyville;
ninth, thoy dress for tho Viennese
opera or for the Enghlen les Bains,
a miniaturo Monte Carlo; tenth, they
dress for supper, which fashionablo
Paris now takes at tho Cafo do Paris,
and. eleventh, If you please, they
change for bed.
"The average cost of these gowns
is J2G0. Ten different gowns would
cost for ono day alono ?2,500.
"Now, figuring that seldom do
these womon wear the same gown
more than once a week, those in the
swim would have to have sixty
gowns.

WHITE MILLS.
Special to The Citizen.
WHITE MILLS. Pn July 11
The taxpayers of Texas township are
protesting against the road commis
sioner of Honesdalo borough for us
ing their road machinery when they
ought to be using them on their own
roads. When Texas want to use
their own machines they are very
often out of repair after working tho
streets of Honesdale borough. One
taxpayer of Texas offered the super
visors fifteen dollars a day for the
uso of the machine. He also offered
plenty of stone free If they would
put thein on main road whenever
needed, but could not got It. It
seems that one of the supervisors of
Texas 1b also road commissioner of
Honesdale borough and ho uses the
rpjiiJ, machinery wherever he sees
fit, reardless of the district which
owns the machinery, Honesdale
should purchase their own machin
ery and also nppolnt their own road
commissioner. He should not be a
supervisor of Texas township and
then when Texas wanted to use their
own machinery they would be at
hand, nnd not out of repair as such
is often the case.
The M. E. Sunday picnic was held
In Hertel's Grove on tho Fourth of

Stephens would not work. It was a
sneak trap and not a man trap.

Tuesday evening, July 18, 1911.
Mrs. Lydla H. Dickens, Maple
wood, was the guest of her daugh
ter, Mrs. E. W. Morrison, at the
parsonage Tuesday.
The sun seems to be speaking
these days in tones of red-hot lan
guage as It pushes Itself through
the ovens of the clouds and causes
humanity to swelter under the heat
and exclaim, "Oh my isn't it hot!"
A very pretty wedding took place

NEW PENNSYLVANIA LAWS
APPLIADLIi TO WAYNE CO.
Among the bills approved by Gov
ernor Tener were several important
ones as follows:
Amending borough paving act so
that improvements may be made on
petition of owners of property rep
resenting not less than two-thirds in
number of feet fronting on street to
be paved.
Amending dog license so that all
dogs shall be required to wear a col
lar bearing a license tag or be shot
by the constable of the district.
Making It a misdemeanor for any
employe or bailee to fail to return
an animal to place where it was his
duty to return It.

mission to be composed of County
Commissioners and Auditor or Con
troller. Subjecting to taxation properties
owned by charitable or other institu
tions and not actually occupied by
them.
Providing for a method of pay
ment of local registers of births and
deaths by county treasurers and mak
ing an appropriation of $10,000

Among the bills signed by Gover
nor Tener is one providing for the np
pointment of two censors, a man and
a woman, who shall pass upon all
moving pictures and stereoptlcon
views before they may be exhibited

for violation being $50 for the first
offense and $100 for subsequent of
fenses. Part of an act of 1S50 prohibits
governors, judges, state officials and
legislator being directors In state
banks. An act passed by tho late
legislature repealed this law and Gov.
Tener vetoed it. He says it has
been a dead letter in almost all the
counties of the State, and he evident
ly believes that officers mentioned
should not be permitted to discharge
banking duties.
Has Completed $3,000 Bridge.
George I. Treyz, Cook's Falls acid
factory man, has completed a 15 foot
supenslon bridge across tho Beaver
kill, connecting with tho railroad
switch and making a short cut from
his factories on Russell Brook to
the cars. Without tho bridge two
teams could only load a car of char
coal a day. .Now one horse can draw
a five-ton load from the factory
across the bridge and nine cars were
recently loaded In four days. The
bridge cost $3,000 hut Mr. Treyz is
confident that it will pay for Itself
in two years. Hancock Herald.
