NAMA CANAL TO
OPEN NEXT SPRING
liltST DEEP DRAFT VESSEL TO
PASS THROUGH AVIMj BE
AMERICAN STEAMER.

The first deep draft vessel to pass
trough the Panama canal from
lean to ocean will be one of the
government's Panama railroad
learners now plying between New
lork and Colon, if the plan which
iscretary Garrison has in contem
ation finally is adopted. The sec
tary's idea is to allow Colonel
Ioethals all the time he requires to
rnpleto the canal and experiment
Inn it before this initial trip is
ado.
Then having aboard President
I'ilson and some of the members of
Is cabinet, the congressional com-
littees having jurisdiction over the
Imal, and a few newspapermen the
lannma liner will pass through the
latenyay from Cristobal on the At-
Intic side to Balboa at the Pacific
1 trance.
Secretary Garrison said last week
liat while no positive date could be
ted for this ceremony, he thought
liat Colonel Goethals would succeed
clearing the way through the Cu-
liracha slide by February 1 and that
certainly would be possible to pass
eep draft vessels through by next
ring.
The Fram, Captain Amundsen's
kmous Antarctic ship, was lying in
lie harbor of Colon when Secretary
larrison sailed from tho isthmus. It
las been promised that tho Fram
Iiall be among the first vessels to
passed through the canal, on her
lay to Behring sea, conveying an-
Ither Arctic exploring expedition.

possible of the employes who have
made good records during their
years of service in the construction
of the canal. At one time these
employes numbered 50,000, but this
total has been reduced from time to
time owing to the progress of the
work to about 35,000 at present.
Reductions are being made at tile
rate of about 0,000 per month. Col.
Goethals estimates that about 5,000
men will be required to operate the
canal, 1,500 "gold men," (high
grade employes from the United
States), and 3,500 "silver men,"
(manual labor, largely drawn from
the West Indies and Europe).
GOOD HUNTING IX PIKE.
The opening of the deer season
was attended by excellent success on
the part of sportsmen in the woods
in this region. Reports from Lord's
Valley, Pike county, about ten miles
from here, are to the effect that ile
deer were brought down there last
week, wrote the Hawley correspond
ent of the Scranton Tribune-Republican.
Lord's Valley is looked- upon as
one of the best deer-hunting sections
in this part of tho state. It is situ
ated in Blooming Grove township
and its wooded stretches afford cover
for all kinds of game. Nearby is the
four-hundred acre deer park of the
Blooming Grove Hunting and Fish
ing club.
Simeon Lord's place Is the annual
rendezvous for huntsmen during the
deer season and reports from there
are to the effect that five deer were
killed within a space of one and one
half miles. T. J. Stewart, cashier
of a bank at Old Forge, succeeded
in 'bringing down a handsome ani
mal, as did also William Aug, of
Salem, and Mr McKane, of Shohola,
township. A party of hunters com
posed of Tunkhannock, Hawley and
Ariel men succeeded in bagging three
deer for their day's labor.
Game abounds in plenty through
out the region and tho most success-,
ful hunting season of years is an
ticipated by the sportsmen. No
bears, however, are to be found In
this section this year.
KILLED SKUNK WITH TONGS.
The Middlotown Press says: Mrs.
Peter Mortensen, who has been los
ing many chickens as the result of
the raids of some animal, surprised
a pole cat of unusual size in her hen
nery on "Wednesday last and after a
fierce battle with the animal, killed
It. On several occasions previously
Mrs. Mortensen had, missed chickens
and this time, hearing a commotion
went to investigate. She carried
with her a pair of old-fashioned fire
tongs. Arrived in the hen house,
sho saw tho pole cat, which was of
extraordinary size. Cornered, tho
animal put up -a fierce fight but des
pite his attack, the woman beat him
down, and killed him with tho tongs.
It is needless to say that for the en
counter, the women suffered much
discomfort, which was not allayed
by the fact that the skin of the ani
mal brought $8, which is said to be
an unusual price, due to the size of
the visitor.

SECRETARY HOUSTON DIS
CUSSES HIGHCOST OF LIVING
SAYS SOME COLLEGES ARE NOT
.DOING THEIR FULL DUTY.
Points Out The Handicaps of tho
Country Child and Compares it
With tho Advantages of the City
Child.
Washington, D. C, Nov. 17.
David F. Houston, secretary of agri
culture, spoke on "Tho Organization
of American Agriculutre" before tho
47th annual session of the National
Grange of Patrons of Husbandry, at
Manchester, Now Hampshire, on Fri
day, Nov. 14. In his introduction
Secretary Houston stated that it was
time that all intelligent people put
their heads together to consider rural
conditions, which presented not a
class problem but a, national prob
lem affecting city and rural popula
tions alike.
Secretary Houston's address is
lengthy that we cannot publish it in
Its entirety, only taking the salient
points for consideration at this time.
Mr. Houston said in part:
"A question frequently asked in
Washington of those connected with
agriculture is whether we have
reach the limit of our supply of
the necessaries of life and whether
or not anything can be done to de
crease the cost of living. I have
systematically refused to deal off
hand, with this vastly important
problem, as so many of the inter
viewers expect. It is one of vast im
portance and complexity. There are
many avenues of approach, to it;
many controlling factors and no sim
ple remedy. But I am not one of
the pessimists. I do not entertain
the thought for a second that we
have approximated the limit of our
output from the soil. As a matter
of fact, we have just begun to attack
the problem. We have not even
reached the end of the pioneering
stage and have only in a very few
localities developed conditions where
maximum returns may be secured.
But we have unmistakably reached
the period where we must think and
plan and work. We can no longer
rely on the bounty of nature. There
are evidences that Providence is
ceasing its protective supervision of
fools and AmericanR. Conditions are
emerging which if not fundamentally
dealt with will lead us into serious
embarrassments. It is well for us to
face tho facts and get our bearings.
"Consider the position of a child
in any of the more remote sections
of the rural districts in America to
day, and ask yourself what his op
portunities are for training and de
velopment and efficiency as compar
ed with those of a similarly endowed
boy in an urban community. The
latter lives in a house supplied with
running water, the purity of which
is protected by ample means; walks'
on sidewalks free from dust and
mud; drives along adequate roads;
has access to many of the things
that minister to the legitimate
pleasures of living; has at hand the
best trained physicians and surgeons;
publicly maintained hospitals; well
planned schools of every grade from
tho kindergarten to tho. professional
school or college. And most of these
things he secures at a minimum ex
pense through a relatively low rate
of taxation. The other picture is
easily drawn. If we may confine our
thought for the moment to the
schools alone we find that outside of
New England, which has solved the
rural school problem largely by eli
minating the rural population, all
that tho average country boy has ac
cess to is an ungraded school, usually
taught in one room by a girl with
less training than a high school grad
uate, receiving ?40 or $50 a month
for seven or eight months In the
year, teaching all ages in thirty or
more classes a day. If by any chance
a boy survives this and desires to go
further it is necessary for Tils father
to put him on a train, buy his trans
portation, send him to a town, pay
his board, his tuition, and lose his
services during the session, and prob;
ably lose him permanently from the
country. I have said it before and
I am not afraid to repeat it that I
do not quite see how a father and
mother who are ambitious for their
children can gain their own consent
to .continue to live in remote rural
districts under existing conditions."
DAMASCUS MAN SUICIDES.
Joseph Bergweiler, who a short
time ago was Teleased from the
county jail here, committed suicide
at his home in Tyler Hill Tuesday
of last week by slashing his throat
with a pocket knife. Bergweiler had
been despondent for some time and
was placed In the county jail here on
the charge that he had threatened
tho lives of members of his family
and of neighbors living In that part
of Damascus township. Bergweiler
had made several attempts to end his
life since returning home after his
first stay in confinement but each
time failed to carry out his purpose.
He was about seventy years of age
and came here from Germany where
he had been educated for the priest
hood. He never took the orders and
after coming to America followed
the trado of bricklayer, at which he
grew very proficient.

AVIFE AIDS IIUSI1AND
IN CASTING HIS BALLOT.
In the Thirteenth ward a woman
voted, the first time that this has oc
cured in the history of this city prob
ably and certainly for the first time
in the history of the present board
of election. She showed no hesita
tion, apparently enjoyed the novelty
as the election board and watchers
did and marked the ballot with the
precision of a veteran.
The lady was Mrs. Henry S Kline,
of No. 117 South Madison stre'et, and
the reason for her voting was the in
capacity of her husband who is an
Invalid. Mrs. Kline accompanied her
husband to the polls. Because of
his incapacity, due to a stroke of
paralysis, she accepted the ballot for
her husband and for the -same rea
son marked it for. him inside the
booth and then dropped it into the
ballot box.
Mrs. Kline commented upon the
novelty of her situation, but said
that her husband was so anxious to
vote that she had agreed to come
along and assist him. The election
officers remarked that they were like
ly to get used to women voting very
soon as woman's suffrage is just as
likely as not to come as an institu
tion in Pennsylvania before many
years Allentown Call.
FAME AND FORTUNE FOR
MAN AV1TII RIGHT IDEA.
There is fame awaiting, probably
a fortune even, for the man who will
devise a suitable egg container, a
package in which eggs can be sent
through the mails without being
broken. To-day the parcel post as
the means of communication is
achieving the greatest success. It
has been haled as the means of bring
ing tho farm closer to the consumer.
Fresh eggs, butter and all kinds of
produce from the country have been
promised through this new arm of
the government's service.
The new container must be light
and strong. Already there are quite
a few of them but according to A. D,
Melvin, chief of the bureau of ani
mal industry, the ideal package has
ngt yet been found. Those that are
light are not strong enough and tho
saving in postage is overbalanced by
the breakage of eggs. Those that
are strong enough are too heavy and
too expensive
HEADACHE TABLETS IS
CAUSE OF MAN'S DEATH.
Harrisburg, Nov. 15. Seized with
an attack of paralysis of the heart,
thought to have been caused by head
ache tablets, Howard Pancake, of
Logan street, this city, died Friday.
A post mortem examination of the
man's body at the request of the cor
oner showed that the stomach con
tained antl-kamnia, a drug which
paralyzed the heart muscles and re
sulted in his death.

DANGEROUS CATARRH
STOPPED BY HYOMEI
Just as long as you have catarrh,
your head will be stopped up, your
nose with- itch, your breath will be
foul, you will hawk and sniffle, you
will have droppings In tho throat and
that choked up feeling in the morn
ing. The germs of catarrh havo you
in their power; they are continually
irritating tho membrane of your
nose and throat.
You must kill these loathsome
germs or their desperate assaults
will in time leave you a physical
wreck.
There is one remedy sold by Pell,
the druggist, that is guaranteed to
kill the germs and stop catarrh, or
money back. It is Hyomel you
breathe it. The complete outfit
costs $1.00. There is none just as
good or that gives such quick, sure

of Greentown on Wednesday eve
ning, Nov. 5, when a party of friends
from this place was most royally
entertained. The guests, who ar
rived on a good old-fashioned straw

There were many amusing features
connected with the affair, chief of
which was the music rendered by M.
Madden as he presided as head
drummer. A solo, "When the Birds
Fly Out," was rendered by Edward
Torraey with great effect. The hills
re-echoed thunders of applause as
Leo Madden played "All Hall the
Grange." Mrs. Sanders served a
delicious luncheon at a seasonable
hour, after which tho guests depart

hostess and a rousing cheer for the
