On Tuesday evening, Mny 7, a number of base ball enthuslnsts and old players, anxious to get some thing started In Honesdale before 'Decoration Day, mot at Hottmnnn's for the purpose of selecting a mana ger for tho team. About twelvo young men wore present. Tho base ball situation for this place wns dis cussed and a good deal of enthusi asm prevailed. After several at tompts to secure a manager and falling In each, H. C. Van Alstync offered to undertako tho job of get ting something started. Ho was chosen manager and will endeavor to organize, from the material at hand, a strong team for Honesdale. It was decided to nold another meeting on Thursday evening (to night) for the purpose of selecting a captain and organizing a team to start on. It was decided to hold a benefit danco at the Rink on Friday even ing, May 17, the proceeds to so to wards the support of a team. Tick ets will be fifty cents. All arrange ments will be made to-night, when tickets will bo given out for sale. A good base ball team Is tho life of a town, and If you want us to nia'ko a good showing against Car bondale, Taylor or any of the valley teams, you must give your support freely. At tho conclusion of the business meeting pinochle was played, after which a delightful supper was serv ed by Mr. Heumann, and It was surely appreciated by tho boys. Dur ing the supper, Houmann's orchestra rendered a few selections. After partaking of the supper, the boys adjourned to meet Thursday (to night) evening at tho same place to transact further business. All old players or citizens who aro interest ed in base ball for Honesdale are re quested to come to tho meeting as it is Important that you be present. Meeting will be called at S o'clock sharp. Shultz, pitcher, and Beckendorf, catcher, are with tho Providence team of which Fred Schuerholz was former member. It will doubtless be recalled by many of the local fans that three or four years ago Shultz and "Beck" played here with Hawley against Honesdalo, Schuer holz pitching for Honesdale. Shultz and Beckendorf at that tlmo wero regular members of tho Scranton Stato League team. Hawley, with tho aid of these and threo or four other state leaguers, finally won tho game although it Is doubtful wheth er they would If Sherry had received the support he should have. Fred will no doubt bo given more chances to "work out" with Allentown and wo believe ho "has the goods" If giv en half a show. Jn our write-up of the "Basket Ball Champions" last week we neg lected to mention tho names of Macklo and Mangan, each of whom played In three different games with tho 'Rink Five when Injuries or sick ness kept the regular members of tho team out. Both of these men did excellent work, there being few hotter players In the county. Mackle Is usually a member of . tho Seely villo team and Mangan was ono of tho Alerts.

Johnstown won three straight games, tho score of tho last game being GO to 22. Johnstown won tho pennant in the Central league and Trenton In the Eastern. These are the two major leagues of basket ball. OH! FOR THAT $10 PRIZE Our Common Enemy, the House Fly. Flies are the most dangerous wild animals In America, an Immense fac tor In the national death rato. Wo used to put up with thorn as an unavoidable summer annoyance, but a llttlo scientific study has re vealed tho true dangers of tho com mon house fly. and our attitude of careless Indlfferenco Is giving way to serious concern. Tho new name "typhoid fly," suggested by Dr. L. O. Howard, Chief of the Bureau of En tomology of tho U. S. Dopartnfent of Agriculture, Is full of meaning. Born In filth, they iivo on illth nnd carry It around with them wher over they go. And being migratory In their habits, they go a great deal. The Hies you see buzzing around tho farmer s kitchen at noon time, pay ing their respects to overy morsel of food n tho table, perhaps startod tho day In the pig pen, visiting In turn tho stable, chicken house, cesspool and garbage can. They aro abso lutely undlscrimlnatlng; after feast ing on some dead carenss, or frolick ing for a time In a reeking cuspidor, or visiting tho sick chamber of somo tuborculoss patient, they will make straightway for your cream pitcher or clean their filthy feet on tho nip ple of baby's bottle. If all tho diseaso and death that tho fly has been responsible for could bo summed up, and this information brought to tho attention of ovory man, woman and child In this coun try, tho populace would rlso up on masso to exterminate this common onomy. Don't allow files in your house. Don't permit thorn near your food. Don't buy foodstuffs whero flies aro tolerated. No filth, no flics. Eliminate tho breedliu: nlacc.s by cleanliness and a liberal uso of kerosene mid chloride of lime. John O'Neill Is working at his trade, glasscuttlng, In Waymnrt.

Not architecture's graceful strength, Not factories' extended length, But men who seo tho civic wrong And glvo their lives to make It right, And turn Its darkness Into light. What makes a city full of power? Not wealth's display nor titled fame, Not fashion's loudly boasted claim, But women rich In virtue's dower, Whoso (homes, though humble, still aro great Because of service to the State. What makes a city men can love? Not things that charm tho out ward sense, Not gross display of opulence, But Right, that wrong can not ro movo, And Truth, that faces civic fraud, And smites it in tho name ot God. This Is a city that shall stand, A light upon a nation's hill, A volco that ovil can not still. A source of blessing to tho land; Its strength not brick, nor stone, nor wood, !But Justice, Lovo and "Brother hood. Christian Standard, Feb., 1910.

I ffittG Who's Who (A short Without doubt, a person must pIaco as much, If not more confidence in a jewelry store than they would in a bank for tho very reason that there is much more chifnco for deception. A business house that uses the "Square Deal" with all its patrons and adheres to strictly "one prlco" and that prico means only the cost plus a "legitimate" profit, Is tho house that's bound to give satisfaction to its customers. Wo want every cus tomer we have and expect to havo to be "thoroughly satisfied" with our way of doing business, both in tho retail and repair department, and should any dissatis faction prevail, don't tell yourself or friends about It but bring It right hero to us and we'll "right it." We strive to do everything In tho repair department just a llttlo better than anyone else and "we can boast" that no ono has ever "equalled" us In the "Prompt" manner In which wo turn out our work. Taking this into con sideration there's a lot of truth In the old adnge "If a man writes a bettor book or builds a better mouso trap than his neighbor the world will beat an untrodden path to his hut." Now people Who's Who? the house that treats one and all alike and Why? because they have the reputation of holding the People's confidence. Think it over Jeweler and Optician.
