WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 20, 1911. BOIIi YOUR WATER. There seems to be reason to believe that the typhoid epldemi Is on the Increase for September, according to the report of the State Depart ment of Health, and in most of the fatalities the contributing cause has been drinking water contaminated by typhoid bacilli. Our advice is to boil your "water. It should be remembered that the typhoid fiy is still active and the drinking water from a tap that was pure a week ago may be loaded with bacilli today. Keep the flies out of the house and boil the drinkng water and the chances of contracting typhoid will be reduced to a minimum. :0: "GOING SOME." President Taft's departure upon his 13,000 mile speaking trip has called attention to the fact that he is probably the greatest traveler that has ever occupied the presidential chair. The Rochester Post-Express has figured out the miles covered by President Taft during his career as a public official and Its figures show that 'Mr. Taft has covered some 202, 438 miles so far. A trip of only 13,000 miles then will probably seem to him like a jaunt to Hawley would to most of us. Everywhere the President goes the favorable Impression concerning him becomes more marked. The misconceptions once so prevalent In the beginning of his 'Presidency have entirely disappeared and the American people hold him to-day In high and justly-merited affection and esteem. :0: POSTAL. BANKS IN CANADA. Canada established postal savings hanks forty years ago and now has about a hundred and sixty thousand depositors In such banks, with forty-five million dollars to their credit. Two years ago, as a further en couragement to thrift, the Dominion Government began writing annuities. A Canadian aged twenty, say, may pay in twenty-five cents a week at any postofflce and be assured of an annual Income of eighty-five dollars at the age of fifty-five or of a hundred and thirty dollars at tho age of sixty. Postal banks have been a success In other parts of the country. It now remains to be seen whether tho bank in Honesdale will prove equally successful. :0: MILD WEATHER FOR !JO DAYS TO COME. "The way the temperature is, (Tuesday), to-morrow, and the next day will determine the weather for the" next ninety days." So says Albert E. Compton, the Honesdale weather prophet, who for the past forty years has successfully forecasted the vagaries of Wayne weather. September 19, 20, 21 are the pivotal days in his scheme of astrono mical observation. " Mark the temperature at noon, to-day," he said, and that will give you the temperature for the next thirty days. " We should have a line storm during this period. I'm afraid we won't get it. It'll run dry. It's right on the change of the moon, too, to day. "We get the wind from the northwest to-day. That's not a very stormy corner If the wind held off South It might be possible we'd get our storms a little later. "The temperature this morning at 7 o'clock was 50 degrees. I should Judge it may run up to-day to about sixty. "I don't predict any rain to speak of in the next thirty days, unless we might get it In a shower. " I've been predicting the weather for tho past forty years. I've just given you a few points. You watch things yourself, and see If I don't come out right as usual. "The wind shifted off East yesterday. Last night it went clear around. There was a time this morning the wind was due West; now It's gone more North." Mr. Compton's assurance that the next thiHy days will be mild, clear and sunshlning will bring Joy to the hearts of multitudes, who look forward with dread to the approach of Winter, when the coal man gets in his Innings, preferring rather to pay toll a little longer to the ice man. The Maple City weather prophet has a hobby, the weather, and rides it. And by so doing he keeps young, in spite of his G3 years. Every man should have a hobby. He'll live longer, and be the happier for it. "All work and no play" but you know the rest. We sincerely trust 'Mr. Compton's predictions will be verified. RADIUM IN AUSTRALIA. Dr. Douglas Manson, who visited Mt. Painter In northern South Aus tralia some time ago and said he found traces of radium there, has re turned from a second exploring ex pedition and confirms his first an nouncement. He claims to have lo cated a lode of radium ore three miles long 'by 100 yards wide, and says that he has a quarter of a ton of ore ready for shipment. He fig ures that the ore will net a profit of over $1000 a ton. PENNSYLVANIA MAN TO START OSTRICH FARM. W. H. Hlle of Bloomsburg, Pa., ar rived in 'New York last week, with 53 ostriches which he had captured In Abyssinia and which he Intends to make the nucleus of an ostrich farm. Last year ho brought over a few young birds and they have thrived. The surprising part of this Is that they have done well In a cold cli mate, for the ostrich is commonly supposed to be a bird that demands warm weather. Mr. Hile says this is not the case and Intends to further prove his theory. But his plans for getting rich quick out of his os triches are really the Interesting part of the story. They may bear fruit, but they at least sound like the hopes of tho man who is about to start raising chickens and who calculates a million eggs from their offspring within three years. Mr. Hile sayo that an ostrich 13 full grown when 11 months old and is then producing as good feathers as it ever will. There Is a new crop of feathers every eight months and each bird produces about 90 by the Citizen Publishing Company. at the postofflce. Honesdale, Pa. PRESIDENT MANAGING EDITOR ASSOCIATE EDITOR E. B. IIARDENI1ER01I, W. W. WOOD and the way the win'd comes to-day plumes, which are worth $1.50 each. Also tho females lay from 50 to 120 eggs a year. Mr. Hile says that If an ostrich farmer starts with one pair of birds he will have 50,000 os triches In 10 years. Conservative people are hereby warned to stick to Plymouth Rocks. In Cape Town there is an ostrich valued at $50, 000 and Mr. Hilo says it has earned Its owner $300,000. Tho cost of keeping an ostrich is about $20 a year. WAYNE'S ATTITUDE. Some people are doing some talk ing about Wayne county. The way they feel over In Wayne county over the congressional situation is well shown by the remarks which were made at the congressional conference last week at '.Montrose by Messrs, Simons and Decker, the Wayne con forees. At this conference Mr. Sim ons nominated Wayne's candidate, Hon. Homer Greene, who was defeat ed, but there was no sourness or sulkiness on the part of the Wayne conferees, as is shown by the speeches and pledges the gave after Ainey's nomination was effected. From tho Montrose Republican's ac count of the conference we take the following paragraphs: Mr. Simons stated that he had known Mr. 'Alney personally and by reputation for some years and was satisfied as to tho worth and ability of tho candidate. While Wayne would 'have liked to see Mr. Greene the nominee, believing that county entitled to it, he knows that Wayne will do her part In electing nlm. It Is a duty of all loyal Republicans to support the candidate, he said, and they were not going homo to sulk not the part of a man, nor the part oi a good -party man." no tnanked the conferees for the courtesies ex tended the Wayne contingent and closed by stating that If 'Mr. Ainey comes over Into Wayne he will re ceive a royal welcome, and In No vember be elected by a rousing ma jority. Mr. Decker followed in similar vein, jocularly calling attention to the fact after Susquehanna has had a couple of terms, Bradford three or four, and Wyoming a couple, that Wayne would get In the game early by putting forth her candidate, ex hibiting proudly a picture of his 3-year-old son, Victor, Jr. (The only pledge we have heard Mr. Alney make was given after tho meeting, when he said he would support tho candidate, If he comes up.) Wayne's delegation made a hit with tho men present. They repre sent the true type of Republicanism Reporter-Journal, Towanda. BELL ANNUAL REUNION.
