Other high school boys to take part in the game with Dallas were Merle Anderson and Bob Hislop. Anderson came through with two timely hits to drive in two runs while Hislop fea- tured with his fast field work. In the ninth inning, Stitzer’s three-base hit, followed by Labar’'s double, produced the winning run. Jackson and Den- man were the heavy stickers for Beau- mont, getting five hits and three walks between them, while Austin and Besteder featured in the field. At Al- derson, Ferman Wilson and his East Dallas club got a late start and were unable to overcome a nine-run lead piled up by Manager Yeager's boys. Pinky Swingle was the starting pitcher, but gave way to a relief in the fifth frame after he had com- plained of a sore arm. Noxen had _ little trouble with Ideton, winning by a 14 to 7 score.

The mother lists’ the seven daughters and includes mention of two sons and other daughter. Miss Margaret Steel Moss, acting ‘director of the bureau of children, replied to the mother that it sounded as though’ she had “in- deed a prize family.

J, Talks on Disraeli at College Miseri- cordia Monday Night On; Monday evening of this week at College Misericordia, Dr. Frederick Paulding of Rutherford, N. J., one of the outstanding literary critics of the present day, delivered a splendid lec- ture, his subject being Disraeli. For two hours and fifteen minutes he spoke in such a pleasing manner that he held his audience spell bound. He said Disraeli was the disinterested patriot, politician, statesman, diplo- mat and gentleman. Racial prejudice was his greatest handicap. He was born a Jew and baptized a Christian and lived and died an Episcopalian. During the early part of his life he was a social outcast because of this. His ancestors were Spanish and Ital- ian. Theyi were wealthy and all were people of learning. His secret of suc- cess was solved in the little phrase he always uttered: “Life is too short to be little.” He was a Prince Charm- ing, although he had no love affair till in his later years. At the age of 14 he attended Cambridge and wos ostra- he attended Cambridge and was ostra- a much older boy that himself for in- sulting remarks and was expelled from school for this reason, although he was in no way to blame. Later he was sent to Eaton but he acquired most of his world. He joined with the Tores (the Democrats). At this time a friendship sprang up between Mrs. Windham Lewis and himself. He describes her as being a pretty little His un- canny wit is really what caused his succes. He met Sir Robert Peele and Disaeli’s one great ambition was to be Prime ‘Minister of England. He was continuously pushed back but only his dominant will power kept him ahead. Mrs. Lewis was a great benefit to him in his campaign for a seat in the House of Parliament. When he gave his first speech in Parliament he was insulted and jeered at, but this did not prevent him from saying: ‘You re- fuse to listen to me now but the day will come when I will make you listen to me.” Marienne’s husband died and after one year she and Disraeli were united in marriage, and now he is being heard and talked about everywhere. He took his wife and spent the winter in Paris. After his return he published his first poetical novel and love story (“Connigsley” and with Sir Robert Peele and Gladstone, both dead Disraeli became an outstanding. He was swept into power by the reform bill in 1868 and after Gladstone's downfall he became the Prime Min- ister of England. He said: “God is great, but now He is greater than ever.” ueen Victoria offered him a peerage but this he refused to. accept. He was detremined to make a name for himself and this he did in a most admirable ‘manner. Before the age of 21 years he had written his first novel and at that early age he really pic tured what took place in reality years later in the words he set a goal and dnd not give up till it had been reached. His slogan was: “Always do your best no matter if it fails or no matter how much people talk about you.” : He started’ in the newspaper fbusiness but failed, but this failure gave him splendid material for a novel he wrote, entitled, “Vivian Grey.” Be- fore the age of 25 he had studied politics and literature. He was not a lover of women and the love letters of his to Lady Brad- ford were purely platonic. Henrietta Temple was the only woman with whom he ever had an affair, yet strangely enough it was a woman who unlocked the door to success for him. He longed to dominate in literature and for this purpose took a trip to Hurope which consumed the greater part of two years. At the age of 25 he returned with the foundation which was to make his career. He brought back huge piles of essays and a novel entitled (Catarina Flening, and so at the age of 27 he had conquered the literary world. He set out to conquer the social and political novel he ever wrote was written at his wife’s death bed. At the age of 68 years he was Prime Min- ister for the second time. On Novem- ber 15, 1875, three years after his be- loved wife's death occurred the His- toric Congress of Berlin. He was now made a Knight of the Garter by ueen Victoria. He retired from public life at the age of 77. He died April 19, 1881, after having enjoyed the goal he set out to reach. Gladstone wanted him buried in Westminster Abbey but his will read he was to be buried in the grave with his beloved wife at jHuendon. Disraeli was far from be- ing a saint, but he was a symbol of what can be accomplished by deter- mination. / SE _— Buried at Dallas Beloved Sportsman and Business Man Mourned By ‘Men in All Walks of Life in Luzerne County The funeral of William Bulford was held from the late home, 11 West Union street, Wilkes-Barre, Wed- nesday afternoon and was at- ‘tended by ‘a large number of friends and acquaintances.

Some years after he began holding. Public horse sales, shipping his stock from the west. This, too, proved a success to such an extent that weekly shipments of horses was just a common occurrence. His suc- cess seemed to be unlimited, branch- ling into the lumber busines ,acquiring large acreage of land, owning to his death some of the most beautiful farms in the rural district, valuable property on Main street, ‘Dallas. Some years ago he formed a part- nership with David Robinson with stables on North Main street, Wilkes- which they conducted one of the largest stales stables in Eastern Penn- sylvania, dealing mostly in mules for the mine trade.

PASSES RESOLUTION In accord with the action of the board of directors of the First Na- tional Bank of Dallas, held on April 28, the committee presented the fol- lowing resolutions on the death of William Bulford, who was a director of that institution: ‘Whereas, the Creator of all things, animate and inanimate, has in His wisdom and mercy seen proper to re- friend, William Bulford, we here de- move by death our companion and sire to express our appreciation of his character ,ability and acomplishments, ag well as reveal our sorrow over the loss of one highly respected by the members of this board, and Whereas, Mr. Bulford was an orig- inal supporter in the establishment of this institution, and for many years a director and who was in many ways instrumental in the growth and pros- perity of the bank where his honesty and judgment were essential to pro- gress, and ) : Whereas, he was endowed with that intuitive comprehension of men and projects as to ‘enable him to quickly visualize the basic principal involved and so resulting in a prompt decision advantageous to the welfare of our corporation, and as he ‘also possessed a characteristic geniality and fairness in al discussions which materially promoted harmony in the ultimate conclusions of the board, we recognize our loss and sorrowfully realize that death precludes our further affiliation with him.

The 2,500 fans which were made up of men, women and children, rooted until their voices were affected, and if that indicates anything, about 85 per cent. were out for Dallas.

Mr. Gordon has just re- turned for a week-end with his family and reports that at McKeesport, Pa., where the Robson Gulf Construction Company ,of which he is constructing engineer, are laying out a golf course that during the past three weeks they have been swarmed with applicants to do laboring, who offered their services for 15 cents and 20 cents per hour. So here, where they receive 40 and 50 cents per hour, I think we have reason to be thankful and with spring here, although somewhat delayed, I feel that work and prosperity are just around the corner. Let's all be optimists and hope for the best. He reports that snow and cold weather are at present holding up the work. But according to Floyd Gibbons, if winter does not soon take a vacation old man sunshine will be compelled to burn him out. So that means warm weather will soon be a reality. ————— The record of A. J. Sordoni speaks for itself. in his present campaign he is running independently and is not linked with either of the major State political groups in the Republican party.= ia, FIRE PUMP HELPS CALM IRATE BULL A new use and an unusual use for a fire pump used in extinguishing forest fires recently was reported by District Forester E. F. Brouse of the Valley Forge District with headquarters at Norristown. Forest Fire Warden Howard Eshelman of Geiger’s Mills had a vicious bull which broke out of his stall and ran into the barn- yard. Attempts were made to chase the bull back into his stall, but without success. After sev- eral attempts Warden Eschelman thought of a new fire pump which had ‘recently been delivered to him as a part of his forest fire equip- ment. He filled it with water and “shot the bull” with a stream of water. It proved effetcive, for the bull apparently frightened by this new plan of attack, quietly ran into his stall. Lake Schools Plan Exhibit Prints of Works of Famous Masters To Be On Display For Public and Student Viewing Faculty and students of Lake town- ship high school have arranged for an educational art exhibition of Porter Prints with an authoritative art lec- ture to be on exhibition in the school auditorium during the week of May b.

BI-COUNTY LEAGUE GETS UNDERWAY WITH GOOD GAMES Lake and Kingston Township School Win From Dallas and Lehman Schools Friday afternoon witnessed the opening game of of the Bi-County Baseball League between Laketon and Lehman, at Laketon. Cold weather prevailed throughout the entire day, but both teams showed splendid team work, which will be a vital' necessity for a team to stay on top throughout the following baseball season. Laketon showed ability and hitting power, but the “looked for” runs by the excited school children were shat- tered time and time again by the splendid infield work of Lehman. The feature of the first game was a ‘three base hit by John Kuchta of the Laketon team. One casualty occurred during the game in which Carleton Kocher, playing third base for Lake- ton, during the first inning received a sprained leg, due to a I.ehman playex sliding into third base. He was sub- stiuted by Stephen Halowitch, then playing left field. Stephens’ position was filled for the remainder of the game by David Crispell, who played excellently, making two runs for Lake- ton. : The next league game will be be- tween Laketon and Dallas Township at Dallas.
