BULLOCK LECTURES AT DECKER FARM. The orchard lecture and demon stration which took place on the farm of H. B. Decker, Stroudsburg, the scene ot all the previous meet ings, was well attended, which Is evi dence enough of the great popular ity of these events. Ordinarily It is not so easy to draw a good-sized audience to an open air meeting on a winter day. It is true that It was an ideal winter day, the sun shining from a cloudless sky, giving warmth and cheer, but the roads were heavy, especially in the afternoon, when the surface was thawed out to the depth of several inches. Professor Bullock, one of the state's orchard Inspectors, had charge of the meeting. He spoke at length, dwelling on pruning, spray ing and other topics of Interest to the fruit raiser. Some of these topics had been discussed before, but the speaker brought out and dwell ed on some new points in an inter esting manner. His remarks were listened to with great attention. Many questions wore asked by mem bers of the audience and readily an swered by the speaker In an obliging manner. He clearly proved that an orchard meeting can be made very Interesting even in mid-winter, if well conducted. Monroe Record, A marriage license was issued December 9 to Dante F. Benedict and Mary B. Wall, both of Preston township. Councilmen Enjoy Fare well "Smoker" CITY FATHERS MET LAST THURS DAY NIGHT NOVEMBER BILLS TOTALED $1200.87 AD JOURNED IN A BLAZE OF GLORY!

WHATSOEVER 'S CONDUCT FAR Central M. E. Women Raise Money ANNUAL OYSTER SUPPER AND FAIR A FINANCIAL AND SO CIAL SUCCESS PRICES OF SUPPERS INOREASIN G, IN HONESDALE. Following the custom Inaugurated many years ago of holding an oyster supper and fair In the parlors of the Central Methodist Episcopal church on the first Thursday night In De cember, tho Whatsoever Circle gave one of these delightful affairs on the evening of the seventh. The usual financial and social success attended the efforts of the president of the society, Miss Irene F. Long, who was ably assisted by, an aggressive corps of churchwomen, who served on committees. Beautifully-bedecked booths, to tho number of four, presided over by beautifully-gowned women, to the number of fourteen, were speedily robbed of their wealth of beautiful fancy goods, beautiful and useful aprons, and delicious home-made candy. Everybody was candy-hungry. "Everywoman" needed at least two aprons. And "Everyman?" Well, he needed Whatever he. could be persuaded to buy. "Everyman" came to the supper with "very woman" light in heart. He left the fair lighter In purse. Lest we forget: These are the names of the booths; the color schemes employed on each; and the names of the churchwomen In charge: Fancy goods (yellow and green) : Mrs. M. E. Simons, Mrs. J. 'M. Ar nold, Mrs. C. F. Bullock. Doll (pink -and white): Mrs. E. E. Williams, Mrs. H. A. Oday, Mrs. Ada Kelley. Candy (Japanese) : Mrs. H. E. Bassett, Mrs. Emma Johnson, Mrs. Frank Lent, Mrs. L. B. Swingle, Miss Alice Blrdsall. Apron (blue and white) : Mrs. M. E. Bolcom, Mrs. F. H. Crago. Mrs. Joshua A. Brown was chair woman of the decorating commit tee. She was assisted by a score of willing workers. The "higher cost of living or' the cost of higher living" was present in tho price of the supper, which was fifty cents, or an Increase of one dime over the charge heretofore made. One church-suppor-tramp told a Citizen iman that "It was the finest supper he ovor ate." N. B. He wasn't a candidate, either, and tho political season Is closed. These were on tho suppor committee: Mrs. Ida Pethick, Mrs. Buel Dodge, Mrs. T. A. Crossley, Mrs. Kato Fitch, Mrs. Isaac Hawker, Mrs. Frank Var coe, Mrs. Frank Dennis. In charge of the tables were Mrs. J. B. Rob inson and Mrs. Charles Seward. On the rocoptlon committee were Doctor and Mrs. Will . Miller, Mrs. J. A. Brown and Mrs. Frank P. Klmblo, Mrs. N. J. Spencer had charge of tho music. A. T. Bryant sold the supper ticikets and Fred Keene assisted him. And what do you think? The mere men had a table. They wore really truly chefs' uniforms and took tips just like the waiters at the " Aldorf-Wastorla!" What will the women do with tho money? They are saving it for a now carpet for the audience room of tho church. These aro the offlcers of the What soever Circle: President, Miss Ireno F. Long; secretary, Mrs. Frank Var coe; treasurer, Mrs. A. T. Bryant; first vice-president, Mrs. Ida Pethick; second vice-president, Mrs. E. E. Williams; third vice-president, Mrs. Isaac Hawker. The society has an active membership of 63. Tho dues are $1 a year. Last year they rais ed almost' $500. Finally: The Episcopalians raised the price of their "dinner" to sixty cents; the Methodists tacked ten cents on to the usual price of their "supper"; and Dame 'Rumor de clareth that the Presbyterians are going to charge seventy-five cents for their "Martha!" Shades of George Washington! A dollar goes, less farther year after year. It is to weep! ADDITIONAL LOCAL. Harry G. Young of Scranton, was a business caller in Honesdale and vicinity this week. Mr. and Mrs. Percy L. Cole at tended the funeral of tho former's mother, Mrs.' Sarah S. Cole, on Sun day. Mrs. Cole died of pneumonia on Thursday last at her home in Green Ridge.
