THEODORE DAY'S RECORD MOST
VALUABLEJF BUREAU
Tlint is What a Government Official
Snys IteKurtlliiK His Meteorologi
cal Observation.
According lo Information received
from tho department ot Agriculture,
weather bureau, the chief of this
department claims that tho meteoro
logical observations taken by Theo
dore Dny, of Oyberry, who for over
a half century has bcjsn sending
weather records to tho Government
aro among the longest nnd most
valued of tho Bureau.
Notwithstanding this the Govern
ment, nccordlng to 5Ir. Day, never
gave him any remuneration, what
ever, for his services. Tho clrcum
stnnces, tlmo of records kept and
other valunblo Information wns re
cently sent Congressman W. D. D.
'Alney by Prothonotnry W. J. Barnes
nnd nt the samo tlmo a plea for 5Ir.
Day appeared in tho Citizen. Con
gressman Alney lost no time In In
terceding for 5lr. Day and at onco
begnn an Investigation of records.
A recent communication received by
Prothonotnry 'Barnes from Congress
man Alney stated that in relation to
meteorological observations taken by
5Ir. iDay thero are on file nt Wash
ington, Department of Agriculture,
reports made at Dyberry, Pa., for a
long period of time, tho department
having a complete record of 38 years
or from 18G5 to 1903.
Mr. iDay might not be able to re
ceive any remuneration for his ser
vices during this time as the Gov
ernment claims he served during the
above-named period In the capacity
of voluntary or co-operative observ
er. This department, the chief of
the United States Weather Bureau
writes, has at the present time about
4,000 observers of this class, who
receive no compensation for their
services other than the publication
of tho bureau, which is supplied
them free of cost, if Theodore Day,
tho veteran cllmatologlst. will be un
able to receive no compensation for
his services In the past, it will not
be for lack of interest of his friends.
Congressman Alney has done his
part as well as 'Prothonotnry W. J.
Barnes. The Citizen presented the
condition of affairs to the public
and" lias worked in 5Ir. Day's Inter
est. In a recent Interview with 5Ir.
Day ho told a representative of this
paper that he desired means to kill
tho tent caterpillar that is defoliat
ing the trees of the country. He
said that he has discovered a dis
ease which will kill the tent cater
pillar. 51r. Day Introduced the dis
ease a few years ago and to within a
few months there has practically
been no tent caterpillars In Wayne
and Columbia counties, where 5Ir.
Day claims they are the worst. In
some places In his own township, he
says there are trees which have heen
entirely defoliated by this pest. 5Ir.
Day says he wants to go through
Columbia and 'Wayne counties and
spread the disease, but is unable to
stand the expense alone. He ex
pects, under the new pension law,
to receive double increase of pen
sion and states he will then devote
his entire time to study and preser
vation of tho trees, fruit and other
kinds.

MORE WORK FOR THE BOARD
OF TRADE
Soiantoii WinitH Ono of Our indus
tries Sent llcprcNoiilntlvo Here
Hut Honesdale Won't Give In.
Secretary 5lnrk H. Edgar of tho
Scranton Board of Trade, spent
Wcdnesdny afternoon nt tho factory
of tho Honcsdale Union Stamp Shoo
Co. Tho purpose of his visit being
to lnduco this live concern to lo
cate In Scranton, as he had heard
that they needed more capital with
which to carry on their steadily
growing business, as well ns a larger
factory building. He was very much
pleased with the success and growth
of the compnny and mado them a
very Mattering offer and states that
tho Scranton Board of Trade had
been looking for and were determin
ed to get a shoo factory.
Tho Union Stamp Shoo Co. has,
to-day, more orders ahead than It
ever hnd, tho past week being a
record breaker In the amount of or
ders received. If they had tho room
and tho necessary capital they could
easily do n business of $150,000 per
year. This estimate Is conservative
and Is based on the amount of or
ders recently received. A committee
appointed by the local board has
done somo good work for this In
dustry, but no board of trado can
get results without the assistance of
the money men of tho town. On the
other hand probably the Scranton
Board of Trado has access to or can
get almost unlimited means with
which to get a live and well-established
business like this one.
Wo are pretty well convinced,
however, that our hustling board,
with the aid of the citizens of the
town will take care of the matter,
as they so successfully settled the
Gurnoy Electric 'Elevator question,
and the Scranton board will have to
get up pretty early in the morning
If they steal anything from under our
noses. Let's get doing!

Scranton Truth
The Horse Knows
Tho difference between a harness
or a bridle that Is right and one that
is wrong. 5Iany a good horse is
spoiled by a poor harness. 5Iany
an accident would be saved by a safe
harness. A cheap harness may bo
very dear, but a dear harness need
not always be good. It Is all In
using good leather and knowing how
to make them. We have had nearly
fifty years' experience In the harness
