PAGE TWO THE CITIZEN, WEDNESDAY, JUNE 26, 1912. YES, IT WILL BE FREE SUGAR FOR THE TRUST AND NO BEET SUGAR INDUSTRY FOR ANY OF US. IT T Stft6P "VALEDICTORY." (Lulu Rlcknnl.) Four years ago, the class of 1312 entered the Honesdale High school, as Freshmen. The ceaseless inarch of time has brought us to that point where our ways must part. The hour has come when wo must say "good-bye." Therefore, dear friends as wo are about to take leave of these, the happiest years of our life. 1 ask you to loltor with me In one last word of retrospect and farewell. Honorable members of tho School Board, who havo made these grad uating exercises possible, this even ing, dear friends, and teachers: Tho value of tho training wo have receiv ed while at school will soon bo tried by the severe test of the world. If we had gained nothing more than book learning during our course, ac quiring knowledge, which could not be put to the practical test, our time indeed, would not have been well spent. But guided by you dear teachers, who have taught us not alone the knowledge of books, but of life itself, wo pass into tho great world of realities. From you it is we have gained our highest ideals, our noblest aspirations; our gratitude and respect will be yours forev r. Wp have formed friendships which will never be forgotten as long as life endures. Now, in behalf of the lass of li'l, 1 bid you a "fond farewell." Fellow Classmates: The saddest and most difficult part of my task is now at hand. Tonight as wo go our several ways, one chapter In our lives will be closed forever. Placed before you in letters of red and gold is tho class motto, "a posse ad esse,' translated, meaning "From Possi bility to Reality." This is the motto by which our footsteps havo been guided the past yoar. We are about to leave the possibilities of school life, and tho future replete with Loth possibilities and realities lies before us. What it has in store for us we cannot tell but what ever suc cess wo may attain we should never forget tho debt wc owe our dear "Alma Mater." For after all the c losing of this chapter of our lives, -ans only the opening of a still more interesting and striking one. Let us cherish the friendships wo have made aero and bo true to them always. And lot us never forget that the same principals and virtues whi.h guided us heretofore will like wise servo us faithfully in all new undertakings. 'Now, with a heart overflowing with both Joy and sor row Joy I say at our success and sorrow at our parting I hid you "good-bye." UNION. (Special to The Citizen ) Union, Juno L'2.

What a little girl in a Topeka school writes about a fly. 1 am a lly. I'm not very old and am juht learning whero to lind tho best things to eat. My favorite places aro in tho spittoon in tho sitting room and tho uncovered gar bage can on the back porch. Of course some flics would be bothered about having to go out of doors to get to that can. Rut it doesn't worry me. In the house where I live there aren't any scroens, so 1 can lly from the garbage can to tho spittoon in perfect safety. I often stop on the way, though, to get in the sugar bowl or crawl over any eatables that are handy. There's a baby in this houso who annoys me very much. Every timo I leave the spittoon and crawl into that baby's mouth it cries and spits mo out. Of course I leavo a few tuberculosis germs In Its mouth, but it doesn't seem like that would hurt the ba'by. It seems to me like people don't know what is good to eat. iAt least the people in this houso don't. Why, they throw away all tho good things. They put them in tho garbage pall. I am endeavoring to show thorn what good things are, however, for I get my feet all sticky In the garbage can, and then go and wipe them on the bread. About a hundred of my companions are doing tho samo thing. I really bellevo that tho peo ple are beginning to like It, for they never trouble us any more. Wo wipe our feet on tho bread in peace and quiet. I heard tho woman across tho way say that she believed Hies had some thing to do with the man in this houso having consumption. 1 won der If he got it from the bread. Tho woman across the way is los ing all her Hies. They're all coming over to our house. Sho won't give thorn anything to eat. Sho covers up her garbage pail, has tight screens on all her doors and Is a terror to files In general. Her children aro such happy, hearty youngsters, while tho children in this houso aro always cross. They never get any afternoon nap. The Hies won't let thorn. There's a very great deal of ill ness in this house. Two of tho hoys have malaria and tho father is nevor well. I heard the mother say to tho woman across tho way, "I really do not know what to do for all this sickness. It drives mo distracted." What do you think that woman said? Why, "Swat tho lly," of course. At which I ducked. Oh yos! Tho baby has tho typhoid. THE DANGER OK ADENOIDS. All tho fresh air in tho world will not make a child healthy if he has an adenoid growth. This is an obstruc tion that forma at tho back of tho noso Just above whore It Joins tho throat. It looks something liko a tonsil. It develops as a result of sickness, continued colds and tho like. As it blocks the nasal passages It provonts tho lungs from gottlng enough air through tho nostrils. Tho child theroforo breathes through its mouth and tho air reaches tho lungs without being moistened or properly llltorod of dirt, dust and other impurities. The lungs may bo como weak and suscoptlblo to tuber culosis and similar diseases. If adenoids aro allowed to dovolop they may effect tho hearing. Thoy oven causo children to bo backward in their studies and often to appear feoblo minded. Adenoids arc vory common. No modlclno will rid you of them. Thoy must bo cut away. Tho opora tlon Is simple and not dangerous. Havo It performed If your child has an adenoid growth. Don't risk his health or his mental dovolopment by allowing an adenoid growth to ro maln.

The Rural 'Now Yorker gives tho list of hny-growlng states as follows. "Ueglnnlng at tho seaboard and going West, tho chief hay-producing states nro: Now York, Pennsylvania, Missouri, Ohio, Michigan, Indiana, Illinois, 'Wisconsin, Iowa and Kan sas. New York alone, on over 5, 000,000 acres, produces upward of G, 000, 000 tons annually. Tho ton states above montlonod constitute tho hay belt of tho United States," says J. Vlnlng Taylor, secretary of tho Nntlonnll Hay Association, who Is arousing a wide-spread Interest In tho Important crop. Ho further says: "On a total of over 27,000,000 acres, over 40,000,000 tons of hay were grown last year. Theso ilgures aro equal to 07 per cent, of tho crop of tho United States. Hay dealers aro complaining of a shortngo In tho hny crop, and In consequence tho National Hay Association Is tnklng preliminary steps to begin a nation wide campaign for moro nnd better hay, In connection with tho Crop Im provement committee of the grain exchanges. Theso two organizations should work ns a unit, and wo aro ready to do our part In advocating the growing of moro clover, alfalfa and other grass crops, not only for hay, but ns tho real foundation of soil building for the benefit of other crops." Insurance Afjeiits Must Hnvo LI censes. Stato Insurance Commissioner Charles Johnson has declined to re cede from his ruling that all agents of an insurance company doing busi ness In this State as well as the ilrm employing agents, must have State licenses. Tho commissioner takes tho position that tho Insurance acts of 1911 require this supervision, and that he cannot help it if it does cost the Insurance people moro money. Tho commissioner has been en forcing tho law pretty strictly, and complaint has been mado that it is causing reciprocal complications, but tho Stato olliclal says that Is not within his province. Tho depart ment has been moving against a number of agencies In tho eastern part of tho Stato undor tho new acts. In some cases It Is found that they are not well understood, but In orders changes in methods have been required. Results of a beneficial character aro being obtained In many parts of the Stato by the oper ation of the Tener Insurance code. WATCHING THE UIA)CK. Don't Do It, anil Time Will Pass As On Wings. A New Haven paper, in an obit uary notice of a respected and suc cessful citizen of that city, tells that, in his earlier and struggling days, "he worked without watching the clock." Such men aro of sterling sort. They found families and build up and keep strong cities, states and nations. 'Whether one works without watching tho clock just be cause he takes real interest in his work makes some difference, prob ably, in the long run. The Industrial and ambitious job holder Is apt to 'be thrifty and to save his money; whereas tho man who works because his work inter ests him Is not so likely to become rich, but ho will probably get moro satisfaction out of life, and that counts for much to one who has taken off tho harness and can give his time to reminiscences. More over, those who work without watch ing tho clock And that tho hours of toil pass as on wings, while to tho clock-watcher time appears to have the feet of lead. Judge. WOULD SIMPLIFY FISH LAWS. Commissioner Says Statutes Should Re in Plainest Terms. A simplification of tho fish laws of Pennsylvania so that thoy can be read and understood by ovory ono Is strongly advocated by Stato Fish Commissioner Nathan R. Duller, who asserts that a man should bo able to go fishing without needing a lawyer to tell him whether or not ho Is vio lating a statute.

J Tammany Leader Said to Favor t ) Gaynor's Presidential Candidacy. ( Photo by Amerlcnn Press Association SUIT FOR $(I,1UU,00(). Drought Apilnst L. F. Jjorce and General Miller Over a Railroad Deal. (New York Sun.) Leoner F. Loreo, president of the Delaware & Hudson Railroad, and Cien. Charles Miller of Franklin, Pa., aro directed to testify before trial in a suit brought by the Occidental Construction Company to recover ?0, 100, 000, under an order signed Saturday by Supreme Court Justice Gerard. Tho defendants will bo questioned as to negotiations wltli ex-President Diaz of Mexco and mem bers of his Cabinet for a railroad subsidy which went to tho Southern Pacific after tho late E. H. Harrinian took a hand in the negotiations. Tho order was obtained by the plaintiff through Lewis Warfleld, who organized tho company to build a railroad in Mexico. Warlleld says in an allidavit that he turned the control of the company over to Gen. Miller on the latter's promise that If Warfleld would continue his nego tiations wth the Mexcan Government the company would pay him ?1, 000,000 out of Its first profits. Warfleld alleges that he went to Mexico in 1901 and as a result of negotiations with President Diaz and his associates the Mexican Gov ernment agreed to give tho con struction company a franchise for tho road and a subsidy of $8,000, 000 in Mexican money. Loreo, who controlled the company with Gen. Miller, was elected president of the Baltimore and Ohio in that yoar. Speyer & Co., tho bankers, had fi nancial control of tho latter road and had just sold to tho Harrinian syndicate the Huntington stock In tho Southern Pacific. The affidavit alleged that Loreo acted as spokesman In several Inter views with President Diaz on tho subject of having the subsidy In creased and Diaz said that "Mr. Harrison" of the Southern Pacific had come down just beforo and ask ed for tho samo concession, but It was refused because negotiations with tho Occidental Construction company wero under way. Tho Gov ernment then made an offer of ?12, 000,000 In Mexican money and Sec retary of Finance LImantour asked that tho negotiations bo held in abeyance several years becauso tho Government was studying tho schomo to put its currency on a gold basis and It would bo further embarrass ed If it granted the Bubsldy, becauso it was about to get a loan of $20, 000.000 from Speyer & Co. 'Warfleld alleges that Loreo and Harrlman subsequently had a con ference at which Harrinian asked Loreo to agreo to a schomo by which Harrlman could get an interest in the concession with tho result that tho concession was finally granted by tho Government to a representa tive of tho Southern Pacific Instead of to tho plaintiff. Tho company sued Loreo and Miller for $0,000, 000, the amount of tho subsidy In Amorican money and $100,000 which tho company spont in connec tlon with tho negotiations. W. C. SPRY HEACHLAJCE.
