FORTIETH YEAR
Interest Grows
As Rural League
Opens Its Season
Noxen, Dallas and Alderson Easily
Outclass Rivals To. Win Opening
‘Games
‘While there were no bands to play
or mayors to throw out the first ball,
,there were plenty «of thrills for the
many fans who witnessed the opening
game in the Rural League last Satur-
day afternoon at Beaumont, with Dal-
las as the attraction, the fans went
home singing praises for both clubs,
as it was anybody's game until the
last man was out. Kenny Oliver, local
high school boy, was pitted against
the veteran, “Doc” Traver, on the
pitching mound and with some timely
hitting from his teammates won the
first game of ‘the season for Dallas.
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. Lou Hackling hit the
first ball pitched for a home run,
while Weber, a high school boy from
Noxen, duplicated Hackling’s feat in
the latter innings. Saturday, May 3,
will find:
Idetown at Dallas.
Beaumont at East Dallas.

ASKS STATE PRIZE William Bulford
Probably confusing Mussolini
methods for. the repopulation of
Italy, a woman recently wrote to
the children’s bureau, State De-
partment of Welfare, saying that
she was a candidate for a prize
(which she had. seen offered
through the press for any mother
having seven daughters in succes-
sion. 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. Unfortunately,

ing been made such -as you

Hear Paulding
Noted Lecturer of Rutherford, N. 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.

lakes during fishing season. He was
a member of the United Sportsmen’s
Camp of Dallas and took an active
part. He was a real. good. clean
sportsman.

Fast Game At Ashley Results in 5 to 6
Score With Dallas On the Little
End:
Dallas Athletics journeyed to Ash-
ley on [Sunday where they opened the
season by losing to Ashley by one
run. 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. Due to
weather conditions this past two
weeks the Dallas boys did not have an
opportunity to work out, and especial-

less, both boys showed fine form and
will have no trouble in holding down
their positions, likewise Hackling and

AN OPTIMIST’S VIEW
The people of Dallas and surround-
ing hamlets can rest assured that
these back mountain districts are not
as bad off as some of the larger
suburban towns, comes this report
from Jack Gordon, a temporary local
resident. 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.

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.

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

Brown’ s Stand
On Rural Roads
Gains New Votes
| ——
Farmers Feel Need For State Aid in
the Construction of Good Township
Roads
The stand taken by Francis ‘Shunk
Brown in his bid for the Republican :
nomination for Governor in the mat- .
ter of roads is meeting with general
approval among those farmers who are
compelled to drive through the mud
during many months of the year in
order to reach their trading centers.
Brown has made a statement where-
in; he favors the extension of township
reward road systems and says that ali
township roads should receive imme-
diate attention in order to provide the
rural population with more easy travel
throughout the year.
One gasoline dealer in this section
alone collects and forwards to Harris-
burg in the neighborhood of $3,500 an-
nually, received from the gasoline tax.
In the Dallas section and its surround-
ing territory somewhere between
$25,000 and $30,000 tax, for road build-
ing purposes. - At least a share of this
money should be spent in this vicinity
to provide rural residents with roads
that are pasable the year round.
The Dallas and Harvey's Lake sec-
tions of Luzerne county have been
woefully neglected in the matter of
roads built from State funds, thereby
eliminating an additional tax burden
upon farm owners. Under the plan
proposed by Brown, farmers would re-
ceive the benefits of the vast sums
paid into the State treasury for road
purposes and al 1this money would not
be spent to rebuild roads that are al-
ready improved or to provide double
and triple systems where one good
route is now available for tourists.
It is an ideal situation to provide
wide, smooth, ¢oncrete roads for the
benefit of tourists who may be travel-
ing through the tSate, but it is’ a
shame that thousands of dollars
should continue to be spent to build
roads that are already improved as
farmers are compelled to wallow
through. the mud in order to bring
their crops to the market or to go to
their trading centers to buy their daily
needs.
Brown would remedy this situation
and spend some of this hard earned.
tax money on roads that will be of
benefit to those who provide the
funds. It is high time that country
clubs are satisfied for a while with
mecadam roads and that farmers be
lifted out of the mud by the building
of improved township roads. Tt is
this condition that Brown intends to
correct if the voters see fit to place
him in the Governor's chair where he
will ‘have an opportunity to bring it
shout.
