PRIMARY ELECTIONS IN WAYNE
COUNTY
Wnyno County Primaries Bring Out
Only Small IVr Cent. )f Total
Voting Strength of County, Cans
lug One to Ask if the People
Arc as Yet Educated up to
the Primary Imw:
SInco the recent primary election
thero has been some talk concerning
the small vote polled by the voters
of Wayne county. It has been stat
ed that tho primary election does
not bring out as lnrgo a number of
the voters of the county as It should,
and that tho people are not educated
up to the real value of tho primary
law There is, to be sure, some
grounds for this accusation. Tho
primary election is almost as im
portant as the general election and
should bring out as strong a vote,
but when one compars the recent
primary election to tno one four
years ago It can readily be seen that
the voters are being educated up to
the importance of tho primary elec
tion. In 1S80 Wayne county Dem
ocrats cast 2138 votes for tho dele
gate to the National convention,
while the Republicans cast 3924
votes and the Prohibitionists cast
2 In comparing this with the re
cent vote cast where Democrats cast
UC3 votes, Republicans 404S votes
and Prohibitionists 4 votes, it can
bo seen that while the Democratic
element of the county took little in
terest in tho primaries and consider
ably less than four years ago yet the
Republicans polled a much larger
vote, notwithstanding the fact that
a largo number of Democrats voted
the Republican ticket and helped to
swell its returns. In tho recent
election there is a decrease in the
Democratic vote and an increase in
tho Republican vote, probably for
the same reason. The Democratic
delegate to the state convention four
years ago brought out 2431 votes
while the Republican received 3C91
votes and 5 were polled for Prohibi
tion. The spring primaries this year
tho Democratic delegate to the State
convention received 562, the Repub
lican delegate, 4135 and the Pro
hibition delegate 11.
Methodists in Minneapolis.
Minneapolis, Minn., May 1. 'With
numerous delegates present and
scores arriving on every tra.n, pre
parations practically are complete
for the opening of the general con
ference of the Methodist Episcopal
church here to-morro-w to last for
one month.
Probably. theprinclpal thing to
come before the session during the
month is the election, of bishops, the
exact number of which Is yet to he
determined. Another question which
will be discussed, say church men, Is
the so-called amusement question and
the alteration of the church disci
pline which now forbids dancing,
card playing, theatre going and elm
liar forms of amusement.

Comments on Board of Trade's Of
fer to Farmers.
A very interesting plan suggested
by the Honesdalo Board of Trade is
of great concern to all the farmers
of Wayne county. It would greatly
help all agriculturists who make
Honesdalo their shipping point. The
suggestion is that the Board of
Trade employ an experienced buyer
whose business It will bo to guaran
tee the sale of all apples, rutabagas
and other farm products of tho coun
ty. It Is explained that this -plan
would take away a great strain from
the farmer and enable him to .dis
pose of all of his crops, It matters
not how largo they are. In tho past
thero has been complaint that the
farmers of that section have been
unable to convert their fruits, vege
tables and cereals Into cash. Scran

RINK FIVE TRI-COUNTY CHAMPIONS
Top row, reading loft to right
center; W BOLT, forward.
Bottom row J POLT, utility; L.
The Rink Five last week closed a
remarkably successful season of has-
ket ball by defeating the German
Catholic Club on their own floor,
having previously easily defeated
them on the 'Rink floor and in win
ning this game crushed tho hopes of
tho last aspirant for die title of
" Champions of Wayne County."
This title meant something this
year because there was so much
interest taken in tho game and so
many teams aspiring to tho title
that it meant a strenuous schedule
of games for the winner, and the
Rink Five have decisively proven
that they are entitled to be called
"champions" by defeating all comers
not only on the Ttink floor but also
on their own floor. Probably no oth
er athletic team who havo won hon
ors in Wayne county eer had so
many rivals and such a hard light
for tho title.
The opening game of the season'
was nlnvmt acalnst. tho Hawlnv tpam i
who vied with Seelyvllle for lastwhen the opportunity came and for
yeartmffhTp'ionshlp and they weni a' tlrao after he left, the team sadly
easily defeated. Then started - a
seven-game .series with the previous
season's' "-champions, Seelyvllle. At
the beginning no ono thought that
tho Rink team had much chances
against theso seasoned Seelyvlllers,
as they (tho Rink Five) had never
played together previous to this sea
son, and Seelyvllle closed their last
season with the wonderful record of
only one defeat; so that w'hen the
opening game of tho series was play
ed at the Rink about one-half of
Seelyvillo came down to seo their
"boys show the Honesdalers how to
play the game and many of those
who saw the game will no doubt re
member that they started off with a
rush and had caged thrco baskets
before tho Rink team got started,
but! well, tho score ended, as we
now know, 35 to 17 in favor of tho
Rink Five, and the Seelyvillo people
went homo In a dazed condition and
wondered for several weeks how it
happened. The series went to six
games, tho Rink Five winning tho
Cth game on tho Seelyvillo floor.
In tho meantime "Eddie Murphy,"
tho White Mills noted athletic, had
organized a basket ball team In
Whito Mills wnlch many thought
would bo a winner, and they did
prove to be much stronger than
Seelyvllle. This series also went to
six games, tho Rink Flvo winning
tho sixth game on the White 'Mills
floor in a hard fight thus defeating
two aspirants for tho titlo by winning
four of six games played with each.
The hardest fight was yet to come.
A team representing bhe Alert Fire
Company, who called themselves tho
Alerts, had been organized from tho
best players obtainable In tho town
and after playing a few preliminary
games challenged tho Rink Flvo to a
series of flvo games. These two
teams Bhowed themselves to bo the
most evenly matched of any, tho
series being undecided until tho very
last game which was decisively won
by tho Rink team by superior team
work and staying qualities. Score
20 to 12.
Co. E "Tho Reef Trust" was
tho next Wayne county team to chal
lenge tho Rink boys for tho champ
ionship hut were outclassed In every
way, tho Rink Flvo winning threo
straight games.
At Intervals between theso local
games tho Rink Flvo had been play
ing many different teams from othor
counties and by defeating Milford
two games on Thanksgiving Day, and
Susquehanna two games Now Year's
Day, these two teams being tho
champions respectively of PIko and
Susqudhanna counties, havo tho
'right to bo called "Trl-County
Chnmplons. Tho Taylor team, who
claims to bo champions of Lacka
wanna and Luzerne counties by de
feating Wilkes-Barre Ninth Regi
ment, wore also defeated once, but
tho TayIorito3 returned tho compli
ment, so that that series stands a
tlo, This Taylor team has boon play
ing together eleven years, and tho
fact that tho Rink Flvo tied them In
their series. Is quite an accomplish
ment, as this is tho Rink Five's first
soason.
In all tho Rink Flvo played 'fofty-
ono games and lost but olovon. Tho
only teams which were ablo to take
games from thorn without being de
feated later by the Rink Five wero
L. BAB-ER, guard; !R. O'CONNEDL,
BRIADER, guard; L. ROSS, forward.
Wyoming Seminary and the B. I. A.
All Stars of Scranton. The game
with 'Wyoming was played just af
ter the local boys had lost the ser
vices of Capt. Brader, who left the
team on January 1, and ihls placo had
not been satisfactorily filled; as It
was, they were only .beaten by two
points, 17 to 15. Tho B. I. A. All
Stars of Scranton twice defeated tho
locals, the last two weekB of the
season, but the Rink Flvo were not
in the condition of palylng the game
they did the first part.
The regular members of the
champions are: Louis Bader, Capt.,
Leon Ross, Manager, Munson McDer
mott, Reginald O'Connell, William
Polt and Julius Polt. Leslie Brader
was captain of the team until Jan.
lRt when he was obliged to leave.
as his work called him to New York
City to live.
Brader's equal as a guard would
be thard to find, combining his good
floor work with his ability to "shoot'
missed him.
To O'Connell's work at center tho
team owes many points, as "Tim
was usually able'to get the jump on
his 'man even thougn he was alrg-
er, and besides is naturally a good
shot.
At forwards tho two regulars, W
Polt and Ross, worked the best to
gether, the former being the only
member of tho team who partlclpat
ed In every game. Ho scored tho
most points of any man on the team
and was always a hard worker,
while Ross was more for floor and
team work, being quick and fast on
his feet. At guards, after the retire
ment of Brader, Capt. Bader and J.
Polt and later 'McDermatt made
names for themselves In this depart
ment of tho game. J. Polt was fre
quently used at forward as well as
guard and showing equal ability In
this position. Bader was the "old
reliable" and saved many a game by
his careful guarding and ability to
get ahead of his man. Munson Mc
Dermott is tho oldest man on tho
team In experience and tho latter
part of tho season was a big help to
it through his lino floor and "head"
work. Although not having played
for four years previous to this sea
son he fully demonstrated that ho
could "come back" and at tlhe end
of tho season was ono of tho most
valuable men on tho team.
Taken ail in all tho Rink Flvo has
a record to he proud of and should
do still better next year if they can
hold the same team together, as team
work and " getting used to one an
other counts for a whole lot
basket ball.
In
Tho team has certainly been a
good advertisement for tho Rink this
year and perhaps will bo a good
i advertisement for tho town next
season.
SPORTING NOTES.
John Tuman, of White (Mills, who
has played good baseball on the local
athletic Hold, will bo retained by
Manager Freeman for Scranton's
team. Ho will bo played at short.
Tho Scranton Times says that
those who havo seen Tuman and
Starr (second baseman) play, believe
that they will mako good. Ono thing
that they will do 1b plant a pepper
factory right in tho mlddlo of the
diamond and that's ono thing that a
winning cluh must have.
Tho Times says furthor:
" Manager Freeman never did In
tend to let Tuman get away from
Scranton this season. Ho Is a big
fellow and can do ono hundred yards
in olovon seconds. Tno ono thing
that has kept him out of tho short
position so long is that ho hits loft
handed and thore woro too many
left sido cloutors on tho team. With
Freeman out of tho game, It will sim
ply ho putting another left hander In
his place. Ho played In all tho ex
hibition games and nobody could
mako a kick on his work for he
showed his speed even though tho
grounds wore a Uttlo heavy all tho
tlmo. Tuman played third for two
years at St. Bonaventuro and for the
same length of tlmo at Phllllpsburg
In tho Inter-Mountain league and last
season hit .330 for that team. He
has plenty of confidence, Is always
talking and at touching a runner,
the thing that makes a shortstop
good or bad, ho Is clover."
TO DEVELOP WAYNE COUNTY
Cauliflowers Grow Fine In Wayne'
County rIliere is Big Money In
Growing Them.
Did it over occur to you, Mr.
Farmer, that thoro is good profit in
rnislng tho cauliflower? It can be
raised upon your farm and tho varie
ty is mucn sweeter man ino lunu
grown near tho Metropolis. It can
nlso bo raised at times of tho sum
mer when tho Long Island product
Is unfit for market. Then is tho time
when you will get fancy prices for
tho crystal heads. You need not go
into it so extensive at first, but that
would bo tho only way for profit.
Say you had under cultivation from
15 to 30 acres, allowing each acre
to yield an avorago of 200 barrels!
per year, we shall havo a yearly out
put of between 15,000 and 16,000
barrels to be sold in tho city at
prices ranging from $2 to $12 per
barrel quite a nice bunch of money
each fall to come iback up hero
among the 'hills and dales of dear
old Wayno to keep things going.
'Wayno county Is fortunately
blessed with one of the largest and
best cooperages In this section of the
country, McKenna Bros., located at
Honesdale, which can furnish bar
rels for tho grower of the cauli
flower in any quantity. This is good
for botlt raiser and manufacturer.
Tho barrelmaker gets a market for
his factory product and tho farmers
aro saved tho bother of 'hunting
packages for tho fruit of their
fields.
It takes both labor and skill to
grow cauliflower and a goodly qual
ity of each. From preparing the soil
with fertilizers, all through the
plowing, harrowing, planting, up to
the tying up tho heads and cutting
and packing there Is a lot of back
aching toll for whoever embarks In
tho Industry. No one who wishes
an easy summer should go Into the
cauliflower business. If you live
near a railroad you can ship direct
to the market. Otherwise drive to
Honesdale. By the way what do you
think of the suggestion offered 'by
the Greater Honesdalo Board of
Trade of appointing a good honest,
conscientious buyer for tho farmer
without one cent of cost to you to
sell your product in tho city? The
service would bo absolutely free and
you could dispose of apples, ruta
bagas, cauliflower, cabbage, etc.,
whereas now It might remain upon
the farm and be a dead loss to you.
Fertilize and realize something from
your farm. You will never regret
tho effort put forth.

19 MARRIAGE LICENSES IN
APRIL
Despite the Fact Thnt April Was n
Stormy Mouth Tho Little Lovo
God Did Good Work.
Some ono has said that "Of all
actions of a man's life his marrlago
does least concern other people, yet
of all the actions of our life 'tis most
meddled with by other people." This
can truthfully be said in tho present
Instance and Marrlago License. Book
Numher 4 bears all scrutiny without
a murmur. During the month of
April thero were recorded in this
faithful book some nineteen mar
rlago licenses, the analizing of which
Is no light task, for thero one may
find many Interesting facts hidden
away from tho unobservant eye.
The season Is approaching for tho
forming of " two souls with but a
single thought " and so far tho
month of April holds the record In
number. In March thero wero only
six licenses Issued, probably duo to
the fact that the weather was too
stormy and unpleasant, as that Is tho
month when tho frost king Is sup
posed to lay down and give up tho
ghost, but Is always reluctant to do
so. April was also a stormy month
but not too stormy to dishearten
nineteen brave youths and as many
maidens.
The occupations owned up to hy
the brides of April were few beside
tho conventional "at homo." Three
confessed to be silk workers; four
gavo their occupations as house
keepers while two acknowledged
themselves to be "homekeepers."
Beside these there was ono steno
grapher, one domestic, one teacher,
and one dressmaker.
The occupations of the grooms
was given as farmers, of which there
were six. Two gave their trade as
blacksmiths, and two as laborers.
There was ono car service clerk, ono
Insurance agent, one car inspector.
one railroader, one glass cutter, one
glass blower, one plumber, one lum
berman and one tracer.
