The old idea that the grippe Is
in the air, and extends independent
ly of personal contact with the sick,
Is refuted by Surgeon-General Stern
berg In an article soon to be pub
lished in The Youth's Companion,
which in simple language gives both
the history and the pathology of the
death.

In ono of the local papers It was
stated that there was no provision
made in the new Parcels Post law

ng: Section 10 Article 2 Parcels
collected on Star routes must be de
posited in the next postofflce from
which carrier arrives and postago
charged at the rato of that ofllce.
Robert Simpson, of Waymart,
has joined the ranks of tho non
smokers. The last time that ho lit
up his old jimmy pipe was on the
occasion of his son's death a month
ago, when father and son lit their
pipes from tho same match as they
were starting on a hunting trip. Be
fore tho morning had passed away
Roland Simpson lay dead by his own
hand as the result of an accidental
discharge of his gun. The father
thereupon quit the tobacco habit as
he declares the smoke always re
minds him ot that day's tragedy.

had charge of tho situation there,
stated recently that only a few cases

reported in Wayne but there were at
no time over a dozen cases and none
of them of a serious nature.
As 1913 will probably see the
Ilrst use of the Panama Canal, there
Is special fitness in The Youth's
Companion's announcement of a
serial, "The Steam-Shovel Man," by
Ralph D. Paine, author of "The
Cross and tho Dragon." This ab
sorbing story of the Canal Zone will
begin before tho end of 1913, and
will be followed by seven other ser
ials by such authors as Ella W.
Peattie, C. A. Stephens, Arthur
Stanwood Pier and Archibald Rut
tedge. Long Eddy Is In the throes of
another exciting episode which is
likely to make lurid history In the
annals of that hustling village and
tho Inhabitants are up In arms at
the audacity of one party who, by
their profusity at writing letters
have caused no end of trouble .be
tween husbands and wives In a num
ber of families. And husbands and
wives are not tho only ones who
have suffered the humiliation of
being basely defiled, for fathers have
received epistles of the supposed-to-be
shameful escapades of their
daughters. The letter writing has
been going on for a couple of
months, although It was not until
lately that the trouble which they
have been causing became unbear
able in a number of families.
Auditors J. L. Noble, of Arling
ton, and D. D. Weston, of Hones
dale, completed auditing tho ac
counts of the Wayne County Farm
ers' Mutual Fire Insurance company
on Tuesday. Tho company's assets
amount to ?9,3G0.27. This includes
cash in tho agents' hands, furniture,
safe, etc. The receipts for the year
1912 amounted to $14,774.52. The
disbursements for this length of time
were $15,158.4G. A balance of $8,
751 is in the treasury. The amount
of insurance in force December 31st
last was $4,47G,G07 and the amount
paid out for losses since the organi
zation of the company 23 years ago
is $M3,700.G7. A complete state
ment of the Wayne County Farmers'
Mutual Fire Insurance company
will appear in a forthcoming Issue
of The Citizen.
State Treasurer C. F. Wright is
having a search of the books of his
department- made to ascertain tho
amount of money due to the new
State school fund now that the State
Board of Education has completed
its plans for tho investment and ad
ministration of the money which is
to be devoted to the Common
wealth's educational foundation un
der the school code. Pennsylvania
is one of the few States which had
no State school fund until the enact
ment of the code, but steps are be
ing taken to provide It for the fu
ture. Under tho code ninety per
cent, of the net income from the
State's forest reservations, which
now amount to from ?G,000 to $7,
000 per year; water rights, which
have heretofore not yielded much
income; sales of real estate to tho
State, which Is comparatively small
and escheated estates which aggre
gate from $20,000 to $25,000 a year,
together with any legacies. These
moneys will be due the fund from
tho date of Its approval In 1911 so
that the State will start off with a
fair sum.
An elderly lady arrived on the
10 o'clock Delawaro and Hudson
train Tuesday ' morning and was
bound for Cochecton, N. Y. As there
are no connections less than flvo
hours between tho arrival of the
Delaware and Hudson train and the
departure of tho 2:53 afternoon
Erie train tho elderly lady was com
pelled to wait. Tho hour hand of
tho big depot clock slowly advanced
to the leaving time, when the
stranger boarded the Erie passenger
coach. She alighted at Lackawaxen,
where she changed cars for the
Cochecton train on tho main lino of
the Erie. Hero she had the pleas
ure (?) of two moro long hours'
wait ibeforo her train was duo. This
long wait might havo been averted
had the passenger gono from Car
bondale to Susquehanna and from
thenco to Cochecton. She would
havo arrived at the latter place at
2:41 p. m., whereas the routo she
took kept her on the road until
G:5G p. m. The difference is only
80 cents In car fare. Connections
on the Ontnrlo and Western are Just
as bad at Hancock. That train ar
rives only two minutes before tho
Erie train, but tho depots are near
ly a mile and a half apart. It Is Im
possible to make connections If tho
trains aro on schedule time. A fly
ing machine might be used to ad
vantage botween these stations. It
seems absurd that two roads coming
into a town that better connections
cannot be made. Honesdale Is no exception.

Wayne county is recognized as
an applo growing country. A num
ber of good varieties wero raised
last year by farmers and grangers.
Corn also showed some remarkable
'growths last esason. Tho Pomona

to see these crops. It has made ar
rangements for an exhibition to be

body is invited.
The Honesdale District Sunday
School convention began this morn
ing in the White Mills M. E. church.
There was a large attendance. The
program will last all day. This af
ternoon Mrs. Wallace J. Barnes
talked on "Temperance Teaching in
Sunday School Work." This even
ing Rev. Will H. Hiller of Honesdale
will speak on "That Great Half
Hour." Tho singing at each session
will be led by the choir of tho White
Mills church. In tho evening the
choir was assisted by the Male quar
tette. About nine o'clock Wednesday
night fire broke out in a back room
of Hawker &. Barthelmes' meat mar
ket on Eight street. Fire was caus
ed 'from an overheated stove pipe
which passed through a wood par
tition. The blaze caused consider
able damage to the Inside of the of
fice and a back room before it was
extinguished by buckets of -water
and a chemical extinguisher. The
lire did not at any time get on the
outside of the 'building. Protection
Engine Company No. 3 and Hose
Company No. 1 responded but the
fire was put out as soon as they ar
rived. Rev. L. C. Murdoch, D. D., dis

" No factory law can do as
much toward the prevention of ac
cidents as a system that will make
it directly and Immediately expen
sive to the employer to bo careless
of the safety of his workmen," Is the
expressed belief of the industrial ac
cidents commission, -whose report
has just been submitted to the Penn
sylvania legislature. " This should
be borne In mind," says tho report,
" In weighing tho relative of work
men's compensation." The commis
sion, which was appointed by Gov.
Tener in pursuance of an act passed
by the last legislature, investigated
the subject of the prevention of in
dustrial accidents and the compen
sation of Injured workmen and their
dependents. Several suggested acts
drafted by the commission covering
the subjects it inquired into were
transmitted to tho legislature with
the report.
Miss Loretta Frances Cawley,

Postage! One cent postage
would bo profitable to a few largo
commercial houses, but It would do
very little for tho rank and fllo of
mankind. An association organiz
ed at Cleveland and probably with
well paid officials, is endeavoring
to carry on a propaganda to reduce
the postage on letters and to Increase
It on newspapers, magazines and
periodicals. The misleading state
ment Is mado that tho first class
mails earn an annual surplus for
the government of $70,000,000 whllo
tho newspapers and magazines rep
resented in the second class mall
aro a tremendous burden on tho
Government. The Hughes Commis
sion appointed by President Taft
thoroughly disproved this latter
statement. It is well that, the news-,
papers and other periodicals that
are being besought to print tho ab
surd, one sided statements of the
National One-Cent Letter Postage
Association should refuse to lend
themselves to a propaganda aimed at
them. We wonder who pays the
bills of this association?' Is It the
express companies, the railroads, or
some other good angel -without
wings? Leslie's.
Ico cutting on tho different
ponds and lakes In Wayne county
has ibeen or will soon bo commenc
ed. At Ariel the Icq Is about six
inches; Poyntello, 10 inches; Lo

panies fear that tho crop will be
light owing to the warm weather,

A special irom Neversink says:
Game Protector Cross was called
to Claryville last Friday to look af
ter a deer which bad injured itself
while trying to keep away from a
number of dogs, which had been
giving chase for a long time. On
Thursday night the deer, a largo
buck, apparently slipped while com
ing down a steep incline within 200
feet of York's hotel at Claryville and
Injured Itself so badly that Its hind
legs were useless. He managed to
drag himself to the river before the
dogs camo up, when Oliver Bally
hearing the commotion drove the
dogs off, and with the help of others
carried the deer Into York's barn.

'What Is known as the "county
and municipal local option" bill will
be Introduced In the Legislature this
year, provided tho Anti-Saloon
League officers find that this plan of
fixing the unit Is satisfactory to most
of the local option members of the
Assembly. This bill differs 'from tho
Boyd bill of the session of 1911
which fixed the voting unit at wards
in cities, boroughs and townships.
Tho plan advocated recently at head
quarters' meeting of the Anti-Saloon
officers provides ifor a unit of an en
tire county, unless there are bor
oughs or cities of 10,000 or more
population in which cases the muni
cipalities would be permitted to
vote on tho question separately. The
ofilcers of the league placed the
question of the final form of the bill
In the hands of State Superintendent
Charles W. Carroll after recom
mending the type of bill, and he will
confer with the members of the Leg
islature. "We want to give the leg
islators a bill they will vote for,"
said Dr. Carroll after the meeting,
"and if they think somo other plan
would be preferable the Bill will bo
drafted as the local option men de
sire. Tho measure will be Intro
duced early."

An amusing story drifts In from
tho rural districts. Recently, It Is
alleged, a farm resident who has ab
stained for several years broke over
and fell a victim to too much hard
cider, wilting besldo the barrel In

assistance. Upon entering the col

doing tho reply camo: "S-sh! I'm

The subject of this sketch Is very
tall and thin. He has dark hair

fully and has a 'habit of wearing a
peculiar collar. He has long feat
ures, a strong voice and he likes

is very humorous and enjoys a good
laugh. He Is sympathetic and gen
erous. He addressed the school very
often. He Hke3 large coat pockets,
and has them, as he thinks that they
are very serviceable. This gentle
man always seems to be In a great
hurry and if you are not on the
lookout you may have a collision
with him at any time. If so, he will
give you a curt "beg pardon," and
rush on 'faster than ever to make
up for lost time.

Less gold was produced In the
United States in 1912 than in any
years since 1907, according to the
official estimates of the United States
Geological Survey. It was declared,
however, that moro silver was min
ed during the twelve months than
during the similar period since 1892.
The passing of the picturesque pros
pector with his pack mule and pick,
leads the survey to fear that few
rich gold "finds" will bo made in
the future. None was mado in
1912. The value of the gold mined
during 1912 will approximate $92,
000,000, a decrease of $5,000,000
from 1911. The decrease Is ascrib
ed mainly to the failure of the bo
nanza camp of Goldfield, Nev., to
maintain the rich character of Its
ore.
