The two men already announced as candidates for the highest office in Pennsylvania are Francis Shunk Brown of Philadel- phia and | Samuel Lewis of York county. ‘While these two candidates are ex- ceptionally well qualified to hold the office of Governor, Francis Shunk Brown is perhaps the more favorably known, due to his untiring efforts in 1914 when the compensation bill was first enacted into a law. Samuel Lewis has been -auditor general and State treasurer for a term of four years and is also well known to the people of ‘TLuzerne county. One drawback to the didacy, political leaders oft-repeated stand on the same funds. The sportsmen of Pennsyivania have been fighting for conservation of 2ame and fish for many years and have been seeking support through the State Tegislature in having various sections of the State stocked with game and fish. Mr. Lewis in his activities at Havris-| burg has been an advocate of having all funds received for fishing andj hunting licenses turned into the gen- | eral fund of the State treasury, and] from there have appropriations 'oade | along these lines. The sportsmen feel that with a separate burean handling the funds from these licenses that they wil receive more game and fish re- stocking and donservation of forests Lewis can- say, is his While this question will only he cne of the many issues confronting both candidates, it is one that will he closely followed by local fish and game lovers.

Center Hill road and the Dallas-| Lehman road via Johnson farm was in terrible condition, several motorists becoming stalled. Many calls were sent in to local garages for towing and the local garage men were very | busy hauling the stranded out of the mud. Many complaints were sent in to the county commissioners the forepant of the week asking assistance for many boroughs and townships who are not | in position to spend any more money on these roads. One. of the aggravated conditions is in Exeter township, on the Mt. Zion road, leading from Coxton to the campground, which is totally impass- able. With the drop in temperature on Thursday it is hoped that it will freeze the ground so as to allow automobile “traffic. al FEBRUARY 28 MARKS END .

Mr. Jones had seem- | ingly been in good health until Mon- | day, February 10, when he was] stricken with the ailment that subse- | quently caused his death. He had re- | sided in Pittston his entire life and | his death has caused universal sorrow. John M. Jones was born in the Ninth ward, Pittston, on December 7, 1865, | and had just passed his sixty-fifth year. He had always. resided in that | part of Pittston city, his parents, Mr. and Mrs. William Jones, deceased, be- ing early settlers. At, the age of 7, after his father Veaa| died, John M. Jones obtained employ- | ment as a breaker boy in No. 9 col- liery, Pennsylvania Coal Company. He remained at this three ears and then started to work for his mother, who, with her husband, operated a general | market at 72 South Main street, where | the Fern vestautant is now located. Mr. Jones continued in the business | with his mother but alwas manifested | an active interest in Republican party and for years was one of the leaders in the county. In 1898 he was elected to a three-year term as county com-- missioner and in 1901 he was reelected for another three-year period. Fol- lowing this he was appointed assistant in the office of Reese Lloyd, clerk of the courts, where he remained a few vears. Later he was affiliated with the county commissioners’ office, serv- ing under ‘Commissioners Finn and Hay. Deceased was known throughout the country as a drillmaster, having ob- tained a. knowledge of this while serv- ing as a member of Company C, old 9th Infantry. For twenty. years he had acted as colonel of Irem Temple Patrol, which won national. recogni- tion during his leadership. His death will be severely felt by both of these organizations in which he always manifested a desire to assist in their competitions. Irem Temple Patrol is recognized as one of the leading drill teams in North America. Mr. Jones had directed the second section in Irem Temple's ceremonial work. He was admitted to Irem Temple in December, 1908. He was a member of St. John’s Lodge, ¥. & A. M., and also of several branches, including the con- sistory and commandery. On October 23, 1890, Mr. Jones and Miss Jannette E. Thomas, daughter of | Isaac and Ann Thomas of Wilkes-| Barre, were married. The ceremony was performed in Water Street Bap- tist Church, Pittston, by Rev. Robert Holmes. In addition to Mrs. Jones four daughters survive him. His funeral will be held on aSturday| at 2:30. Seryices will be | at the hore by Rev. J. Arthur | pastor Broad Street M. E. Church. Rev. Mr. Jones will be as- sisted by Rev. H. M. Kelley of Taylor, a former pastor of the Pittston church.

Bad Highways Isolate Town | State and County Officials Neglect | Roads in Vicinity of Noxen With Result Highways Are Mud Holes With the Spring-like weather of the | past few days and the thawing out | | of highways, NoXxen is once more isolated from. the rest of the world by | roads which are almost impassable. | Despite its position as the best indus- | | trial community in Wyoming county, | the State and county highway officials | given this community little in the way of road improvement in the] past ten or fifteen years. Any log road is good in the summer | time. Whatever money has been put | forth by the State or county on roads | leading out of Noxen has only been sufficient to keep the dust off the highways in the summer time. In the Spring the roads are as bad as they were ten, fifteen and twenty years ago. Why the road situation in this end of the county has not been given more | attention by county and State officials is a question to which there seems to be no answer.

It's high time that Noxen realized its position as the best industrial community in Wyoming county and asked for recognition from county officials rather than cigars and soft words from candidates at election time.

Many evenings the temperature is below the freezing point on this highway, betwzen {the mountains, and drivers coming from Harvey's Lake and Dallas do not realize that this road is usually very slippery every cold morning. Or REDUCING INDEBTEDNESS The school directors of Kingston township paid off several short term notes at their last regular wmeeting. The directors are fast reducing the in- debtedness on the school debt. The new high scHool project is beinz re- vived by many citizens of the town- ship.

Dallas Township Defeats Lehman By 16-10 Score To Play Kingston Township Tonight At Kunkle Hall—Game To Be Closely Contested * Last Friday night Dallas township defeated Lehman high school in a regular league game played on the The first half was marked by ragged floor work and poor | shooting on the part of both teams. Neither side had much advantage at the end of the first period, the score being 7-5 in Lehman’s favor. The Lehman boys were unable to get started. in the second half, and were held to’ three’ points, In the meantime Dalas scored eleven and the game ended 16-10. Matukaitas, of Dallas was in fine form. He scored four field goals. making him high scorer for the eve- ning. He also starred in the scrub game, scoring five points in the one half that he played. . Lehman won the scrub game, 21-15, after a hurd contest. The Dallas second team showed considerable im- provement. {Lehman’s defeat at this stage of the race was costly. They now have little chance of overtaking Laketon, the present leaders. The Dallas township boys will play Kingston township high school tonight pi on their floor at Kunkle. This game is predicted to be closely fought due not only to the intense rivalry be- tween the teams but that Kingston township has been considerably strengthened the last few weeks and are going to handicap some of the leading teams before the season ‘is over.
