The full faith and credit of the United States Government are pledged for payment of principal and interest on each Bond.

The Treasury has divided Defense Bonds into three groups, series E. and G. These Bonds may be obtained for cash, or in exchange for Defense Saving Stamps. For example, a Stamp album containing 75 of the 25-cent Defense Stamps represent and buys an Bond worth $25 in 10 years. An album filled with 75 of the 50cent Defense Stamps represents $37.50 and buys an Bond worth $50 in 10 years.

Albums containing 75 of the $1 Defense Stamps or 15 of the $5 Defense Stamps represent $75 and buys an Bond worth $100 in 10 years. Series and Series of the Defense Savings Bonds are "for persons or corporations accustomed to investing larger earnings and are available in denominations from $100 to confident ot victory ngat along, but developements in the last few days indicate a decisive beating for Judge Andrew Hourigan, appointee ol Governor James.

WHEN YOUR MIND'S made up to do a thing and you think it is, all right. Get busy like the "debel!" For he hustles day and night.

You shouldn't stop to hesitate, Or linger on the way, For the man that sleeps: when sun does shine, Will never reap good hay. OURS IS A COUNTRY of getters We there is a country in all the world where men take such long chances as they do in these United States Instead of keeping our money in an old sock, or inside a mattress, we plunge into ventures half cocked That is probably the reason for the heavy mortality in business ventures in this country as compared to business rauures in uwer countries we do not have the figures besides figures make dull reading But we do not believe that we would be far out of the way in estimating that out of every hundred who venture into business in this country, ninety of them give up the ghost There are few men in business who have not experienced at some time an adversity that threatened to engulf them We would advise (if we Hi ii uu v. 1 1 thai thu mnn whn rnnlpmnl Afjve going into business should make sure that he is mentally able to stand up against business adversity He must be courageous- JUST WHEN WE THOUGHT summer was over, the thermometer soared to 90, then to 92 degrees and Sunday and Monday (Labor Day) were two uncomfortably warm days and, then, Tuesday night we scrambled for blankets Now, let the north winds blow.

BEFORE THE POLITICAL card nuisance has time to become offensive, the idea Governor Aiken of Vermount gave voice to, should be worth considering on the part of candidates The then nursery-man governor asked his opponent to agree NOT to advertise on roadside signs He did it in this language: "A wild clematis is more attractive to Vermount voters than either your face or mine tucked on a tree or barn." We should say so! Few candidates we know of, in this neck of the woods, would stand a chance in a beauty show with aWILD CLEMATIS.

THE GRIM REAPER has struck again in our little town and last week took from our midst Sheldon Erwine, who for many a day will be mourned by those who knew him best And, on Tuesday Mrs. Crump's sudden passing was a shock to the community Always jovial and full of life, although she had passed through many sorrows, she made others happy when with her. "We cannout think of them as dead, Who walk with us no more, Along the path of life we tread; They have but gone before." THE CHILDREN ARE school again It was a happy group who went tripping gaily down the street Wednesday morning We wondered if there were any incorrigible ones among the bunch We will not allow children with measles, mumps, or whooping cough to say nothing of scaret fever, diphtheria and tuberculosis to remain in school, and yet we have been in the habit of keeping in schools boys infinitely more dangerous from MORAL contamination, when they should be placed under experts who can do as much for THEM as can be done for those physicially contaminated No one ever thinks of reauiring a teacher to be an expert in scarlet fever and diph- theria and yet everyone expects him to be an expert- in all moral diseases The next demand to be made, uniform and universal, is for the establishment everywhere of institutions for rescuing of rascals and then they must be eliminated from the public schools.

These attractions in part are available I to tourists now. even they are privately owned, but the Legislature and Governor Arthur H.

James have lately provided funds to acquire them tor the State and to enhance them. 'Most dazzling of the new won der is Rickett's Glen, a acre tract sometimes described as 'the Switzerland of or 'Pennsylvania's Watkins Glen'. The State has set aside $150,000 to buy the area, 20 miles north west of Wilkes-Barre, at the junction of 'Luzerne, Sullivan and Wyoming Counties.

Waters of Kitchen Creek, starting rrom marshy plateaus, tumble over 30 falls on their three-mile journey falls varying in height from three feet to one of more than 100 feet.

Sportsmen envy its abundant life and naturalists are fascinated by the steep slopes of Red Rock Mountain, reaching 300 feet above sea level.

And the dog won't move. Members of the so-called Republican slate wanted Lewis with them from the start. Lewis wanted no slate. He wanted to let the Republican' elecorate decide for themselves on Primary Day who should be their nominee to face the Democrats in November. Privately, Republican committeemen, particularly those in the rural districts, are half-heartedy "working" the slate and not even mentioning Hourigan's name.

They are whispering to their friends "Between you and me, I'm for Tom Lewis, but I've got a job and I've got to let on I'm for the whole ticket." Hourigan and Langan In his opening radio speech, Lewis unleashed a lashing attack on Ambrose Langan, Hourigan manager, aaia iewis. ainomse L-angan is managing noui.gans campaign at the direction ot Gov.

Ambrose Langan has a job. When the Democrats go out and the Republicans come in, all Republicans are discharged with the exception of why Governor James is now ordering highway workers to spend their time card-tacking for Hourigan, card-tearing down of Lewis cards, using publicly owned outomobiles and gasoline and buildings, when -in the last Presidential campaign, he ordered highway workers to keep out of politics.

He also raises the question 'of the Governor's sincerity in "firing" Sheriff Bill Hamilton of Philadelphia from his cabinet for political activity and the next moment comes back to Luzerne You are the sole judge on Tuesday. You. the people and the people alone, are the captain of my fate. If you choose me 'as your nominee, I shall render to you the same conscientious service as Judge of the Orphans' Court that I gave -you as your District Altumey fui nine years."
