Littlo nod his men are at work upon the abutments for the iron bridge just south of Mevans. Ah as trologer should be consulted to know when the bri i(ra will be placed on those abutments, not this year any wav 1 am glad to announce- that the end of tho Tuttles Corner Lnyton is in sii;bt, for the men are working on the last piece of ttK- road, and this week will see the rough grading fin ished on that. One thing for whioh the public is thankful, is, that the road bas been fairly passable ever since the work began. The school meeting on Saturday "veiling could not count a quorum, hence no business was done.' Some of the patrons of the school wanted to oust the teacber, and when the teacher took the school she was to teach one sclicol when another school was consolidated with her school, and no means of transporting was made. It is a shameful mixup as it stands, with patrons upholding their children. The dry weather is being more se verely felt, especially on the ridge itid along the river. Several farm ers are compelled to drive . theii stock long distances for water, and also haul all water for family .use. Springs that were never known to go dry are dry now. Our School grounds have a - rreai flag and pole, the flag to be displayed when the school is in session, but oo casioually one is allowed to float from one weeks end to another, TO THE PUBLIC We, the undersigned merchants of Milford, do hereby mutually agrat to close our places of business at 6 o'clock in the evening from Nov. 1st to Apr. 1st, excepting Saturday even ings and Holiday week. lhe chucge in custom seems to warrant this action on our part- We hope our friends and customers will look with favor on tills, granting us uiore time for rest and recreation.

I have gone into the matter al some length ith representatives of the State Agricultural Department, as well as others, and I am assured that such plan is feasible and I be lieve such plan could be successfully carried out. If elected I would draft and intro duce such a law, asking the state Legislature to appropriate from the State funds an amount of money suf ficient to purchase a suitable tract of land; to properly equip it with build ings, machinery and stock, and to employ a corps of men trained under the Department of Agriculture to op erate the same, so that residents of this as of the adjoining . counties could Bee the results of scientific farm. big and dairying, attend the lectures and demonstrations given there and receive Instruction and advice free of tharge. I believe that the State ot Pennsyl vania, having within its borders, mil lions of dollars invested iu the finest farming lands In the world, should endeavor to give her farmers all it can and in no way could the state do more for Pike County than to eslab. lish such a farm under the direction of its agricultural department, oper ated by skilled men, paid for by the state and given free to all tho.-e de siring to be benefitted. Such a farm would, in my opinion, be worth thousands of duUui--, annu ally to Pike County and eliow tlioe interested the best and iiio.-t modern methods of general fr rming. raising of fruits, vegetables, brc din;.' of nni mals and fowls, and duryin e'". and I pledge myself ii elected to on dertake to secure t:ich in e.r,t t:- mental farm for the i rod 'f Pike County. I would endeavor to pre-n to a li:; ish tho Free Bridge movtment, which has never prrgiesMi.l lo - near a solution a.4 new, and 1 I. a.,, every reason to believe that its pas sage could be secured. ' If this Free Bridge qutim-. is Lot JW u'apoocu oi lavaeo'v, ,i w.u take years to get our sister a tales to again cooperaie iu tne nuwemeur ALFRED MAKV anil tne enorts ot trie past w.n Havei.,,,,. , ,,, m.ko ,,, ., gone for nothing. As chairman of the Deiawnre l'.iv er Free Bridge I rrnmis-ion, to which commission I was appointed by Governor Stuart, I pledge my self to submit to the legislature a favorable report recommending the purchase of all toll bridges across the Deleware and making them free of tolls for all time ami if elected 1 pledge myself to dralt and introduce a law asking the Legislature to ap propriate from the state funds an amount of money to buy her half of these bridges. If reeleoted, I would recommend that our Fish and Game Laws be simplified and made less ambiguous, so that by a casual reading one might know what he could or could not do. If reelected, I would work, in liar- imony with and iavorably for, any movement towards the betterment of our road, knowing that good roads mean easy hauls, personal comfort and the upbuilding of the oommuui- If re-elected, I would re introduce the bill asking the Legislature for an appropriation to the State Highway Depanmeut to experiment with Mar- J Rep,, Co.. lican Candidate Pa. in cuilus Sha'aj ii the road leading from Bushkill to Malamoras, along which for nearly L'5 miles there are thous auds of ncros of the finest natural road material and in said bill would ask the state to take charge of the antire 25 miles in ber experiments. Last Session in the general good road agitation it was suggested to build state roads connecting tho vari ous county seats; I would heartily conour in this movement, for I be lieve then we would have laid a foundation for permanent good roads as it is, we have a mile here and a mile there, and in the end there is uo tangible plan. I would interest myself especially in the adoption of a School Code For some years I was an examine! under the New York State Regent and am familiar with its code, and 1 am satisfied that by the adoption of the coda the ohaotio condition of oui school laws would disappear. Then, too, the bringing together under one head of the many acts relating to ed ucational matters and the doing away with the many intricacii would simplify our school system, and the work incident' thereto woulf be simplified and mora wisely exa cuted. Pike County in 1906 received from the state for her schools, (9,088 68; in 1908, $13,857.00 and In 1909, $14.--010.98. If elected I would reintroduce the Lsekawaxen Dike Bill and endeavor to secure its passage, believing that the homes and inhabitants 'there should be protested. 1 would work for which the people of Pike County desired me, Irrespeo Uvo of my personal feeling, realizing that J was their representative and there to carry out their wishes and not my own. As a rcdent, a tax payer and in trcsted in l'ike County I would be continually on the alert for anything that would havti a tendency to im ! rove thocountv or the oondition of its inliat-itsnlfl. i ' I have ma le ante-election promises 1 llore, and i'i e-eih instance I have endeavni: i to t . fill such promises In some I .a sm eessful, In others 1 f.iili .1, t ut 1 mado the eff irt to carry joul ev ry l.vomi-e made, and will do j eifcnileiie n, iu a little over a week I you will apaia cast your ballot, itlectimr a man to represent vou at H.irrli-t ar. have done something for Pike .
