: Down Hawley Way:
The Borough nt Last Has a Band AU of Its Own An Alarm
Sounded for Hnwlcy Young Men High School to Hold
Commencement Exercises C. P. Nell to Install New
Ice Plant A Bunch of Personals, Etc.
Where the Lncknwnxen's waters
Sparkle ns they gently run,
In the town of beauteous maidens
Worth their weight In gold when
won,
There was walling, awful walling
Heard in woo on every hand,
For their music-fount was falling,
And that borough has no band.
m
5AWLEY for the past two
years has been In a sad
way, because it has been
band-less. Just think of it,
fellow-citizens, a town of
the importance of Hawley, and no
band that could bo called on, for pur
poses constantly arising that demand
the inspiring music of horns and
drums. Such a condition as that is
not to be contemplated with equan
imity. At least that is what H. J.
Meyers thought, and Mr. Meyers is
not a Hawley boy of long residence',
cither. He was a musician
connected with a travelling
show of some sort, and in his
travels he came to Hawley, and
the inevitable happened: He fell in
love with a Hawley maiden, married
her and settled down for life as a
Hawleyito. He is a very skillful mu-
slcian, anil according to report can
play on about any musical instru
ment that is made. Further than
that, he is a teacher of music, and
according to report a very good one.
He found Hawley without a band.
For many years Hawley had two
bands. They were known as the
German band and the Irish band, and
there was always moro or less of
friendly rivalry between the two in
stitutions. The writer can remem
ber but, pshaw! What's the use of
going into that at this time? Later
on, perhaps we will tell moro about
the musical side of the town's his
tory. When Mr. Meyers- saw the band
less condition of the town ho went to
work to try and set all such matters
to rights. The result is that a band
of twenty-one members has been or
ganized. It is composed of the fol
lowing young men, or boys, rather,
RING THE BELL(E)S, BOYS,
SOUND THE ALARM!
Readers of the local newspapers
have been noting of lato the fact that
many personal items from Hawley
are In the nature of brief announce
ments of "calls" or "visits" from
out-of-town young men. As proof of
what is now being written it may be
as well to go over this department
right now and read for yourselves.
This fact, when coupled with the
other fact that during the last few
years other men from the "regions
beyond" have come Into Hawley,
and finding what desirable young
women were here, they did not lot

doors very long, but invited him in
In other words, they took unto them
selves wives that were chosen from
Hawley. And, let us say, they chose
wisely; but isn't that a little hard on
PRIEST WILL AID ALL BASHFUL
Urges Single Members of Congregation
Englewood, N. J., March 31. The
Rev. Father. Angelus, pastor of St.
Cecilia's Roman Catholic church, is
a believer in early marriago, and En
glewood is discussing to-day the ser
mon ho preached at the services yes
terday morning, urging all the
young men and women of his church
to marry at once and promising his
assistance in getting life partners
for each one in his congregation.
"There are too many bachelors in
this parish," he said.
"And there are too many young
unmarried women," he continued.
"All of you who are old enough
should be married. You can't make
the complaint that the high cost of
living prevents you from marrying,
young men, for it Is not the high
cost of living. It is the cost of high
living that stops you.
"And young men and young wom
en when you find some one of the
opposite box whom you lovo, don't
wait too long before you get mar
ried, for then you are apt to bo kept
waiting all your life. A year Is
plenty long enough to keep com
pany. By that time you both should
know whether or not you are suited
to each other."
"If you find you love a girl or a
young man and you haven't the
nerve to propose to her or him, why,

The instruments for the boys have
been ordered, and they will bo re
ceived next week. This will be
Hawley's only banH. Immediately
on receipt of the Instruments leader
Meyers will begin giving instructions
to tne Doys. 10 win B've muivmuui
lessons at first, followed by concert
lessons as soon a3 the boys have
made sufficient progress to be able to
carry their parts.
The first public appearance of the
Boys' Band will take place on the
Fourth of July, when, five abreast,
they will parade the streets of Haw
ley and play the four or five pieces
that their competent leader expects
they will be able to do by that time.
In time there may be a little com
petition between the Boys' Band of
Honesdale and the Boys' Band of
Hawley, and if that time eve does
come the boys from the Middle Creek
section will surely be able to make
considerable noise about their ac
complishments. In the meantime,
everybody in Hawley is hurrahing
for the new band.
the young men of this town? Are
they aware of the importance of what
is being done to them? The writer
hereof wants to sound the alarm at
this early date. He wants to be able
In the future to be able to say to any
Hawley young man who may arise
and complain that he did not have
a fair show, that he was not fairly
warned, "Shake not' thy gory locks
at me!" Having thus rung the
"loud alarum bolls" it is now up to
the young men of Hawley to do a lit
tle "ringing" for themselves, and any
jeweler will show you just the cu
test pattern, at the most economical
prices you ever heard tell of. Try
one of them and see if this is not so.
And now, having done our duty as
a faithful scribe, we refer you to
the following news dispatch that has
bearing on the subject, and which
was sent broadcast early this week:
SWAINS IN POPPING QUESTION.
to Marry and Avoid Race Suicide.
come to me. I will be only too glad
to help you. If you are too bashful
to do your own proposing I'll pro
pose for you.
"And when you get married It is
well that you should have large fam
ilies. Children are far bettor than
automobiles and somotimes it is
impossible to support both. Have
the children first and let tho auto
mobiles come after.
"For a man and his wife to inten
tionally avoid having children Is
called race suicide, and I say to you
young men and women to whom I
am preaching this morning that race
suicide is a crime. It is as much
of a crime as murder; it is as much
of a crime against humanity as if
you went out into tho street and
shot a man dead.
"You young women, when you
marry, must remember that you
cannot have everything you want.
A man who is earning twelve dol
lars a week cannot mako you pres
ents of fifteen dollar hats vory of
ten. "One thing you must remembor is
to continue your love after marriace.
Do not let yourselves get into habits
that will destroy your love for each
other. In this modern day it is too
true that there is too much lovo be
fore marriago and too little after."

Hoy, There! Hey, There!
"Two-Forty on the Plank Road!"
xears ago mat used to be a very
popular expression, "two-forty on
tho plank road" did. There are no
longer any plank roads. Just think
of It a plank road, at the lumber
prices as they are running to-day,
Why, one can build a cement road
cheaper than he could ono of horn'
lock plank. And yet plank roads
woro quite common fifty years ago,
and down in Hawley there Is a sec
tion called tho "plank road" even to
this day; but the planks that once
covered the highway have Teturned
to dust, lo! these many years. But
that has nothing to do with what we
sot out to say, which is that Messrs.
B. voglor & Son have purchased a
new delivery horse, a beautiful Iron-
grey, which proves to be of good
stock, and we were wondering what
time that animal would make pro
vldlng thero were a plank road on
which It might try its speed and
stretch Us limbs. That's all.
Here is now O. P. Nell Will
Beat Future Mild Winters.
C. P, Nell, a popular butcher of

ances from tho senators from those
Btates and from stnto officials that the
