K. SCHWARTZ Edgmont 7th and Welsh Chester, Pa. President of Haverford, Commission; era Says Charges of Extravagance Are Absolutely Unfounded. ''Allegations'of extravagance and misr management recently made against the Board of Commissioners of Haveiv ford township. Montgomery county are branded as absolutely unfounded by John R.

Valentine, president of'that body. Mr. Valentine declared that the charges emanated from 'a small group of malcontents in the township. stated that about twenty-five put of 800 or 900 citizens of the township held a meeting in Llanerch March 12, at which the Commissioners were severely criticised and conflicting and misleading- accounts circulated regarding them. He said the meeting was not only a non-representative one.

but those present made np effort to arrive at the truth or give the Commissioners an opportunity to be heard. Mr Valentine asserted that by; implication those who participated in the meeting had tried to create an Impression that at a previous one, held In 1910, the citizens of the -township had censured the Board of Supervisors, a body which the present Board of Commissioners supplanted on January 1 last Instead of the board having been condemned at that time, he said. a vote of confidence In it was passed, and a committee appointed to investi- gate the affairs of the township. Mr Valentine was a. member of the old Board of Supervisors, and he charges that the Haverford Township Taxpayers' Association, for ned at the April meeting, was conceived by, a roan who had always been antagonistic to him.

He said they did not choose to present the truth regarding him. "In last September 1 he said 'that the township was free from debt In 1910 our indebtedness was $21000 To-day we owe but $1.300. although every cent of the indebtedness of 1910 has been paid off and the tax rate waa not raised one cent in order -to accomplish It; nor have.the roads been neglected, as has been alleged. "At the meeting held in 1910 we reported among our resources the sum of Is 000 due from subscriptions which I had solicited from the Automobile Club of Philadelphia and personal friends. This amount I guaranteed, and it was turned over to the township and expended for the improvement: of the Haverford road, for which purpose it was subscribed.

"Why have not the township auditors who claim they have not received the bills paid during- last year, reported the sum of $3T4QO. due from certain property owners for the improvement of certain roads? "Why, in stating- their balance, did they not credit us with $113.32 now on deposit'at the Morion Title and Trust Company? "Why did they hold the audit lip for, two Why were not the vouchers they had In 1910-11- good enough for 1912? "Why. if the auditors of Ixjwer Merlon approved this form of: vouchers, are they suddenly found unsatisfactory In Haverford township, despite the fact that our counsel, W. I. Shaffer, has declared them pcrfecty legal?" Grand Ball TMs Evening-.

found in Grape-Nuts -BIG IDEAS There's a Reason" Francis H. Williamson Says Concrete is Best Material for Present. At the last regular meeting of Concord Grange, No. 1141. Patrons ot Husbandry, a profitable talk on "Fence Posts" was given by Francis H.

Williamson, who had been making a special study of this subject. He had bulletins from the United States Department of Agriculture and the State Department, and in addition to these ha gave his own observations and experience. AVllllamson-Is satisfied that It does not pay a farmer to raise timber for the purpose of making posts. Oak' and expensive-and will not last forever, and chestnut is now an uncertain Quantity becauze of the blight. After all is said, the most satisfactory post that can be found is the one made from concrete.

This costs about S2 cents. Jacob Temple, near Tanguy, is using a large number of concrete posts on his farm and with satisfactory results. Several farmers took active part in this discussion and.as a result many valuable ideas were exchanged. It was agreed among them that, there Is difficulty in finding a satisfactory rust-proof wire, as most of the galvanized wires sold are not of a nature to last more than a few seasons. During the evening attendance was good.

Joseph P. Rogers occupied the chair as Master; Mrs. Samuel N. Hill, as Secretary; and Chester W. Am- bler.Lecturer.

Four persons were elected to membership, one of these being: Earl Cloud, formerly of Brookhaven Grange. Joseph H. Paschall discussed the subject of applying manure so as to produce the greatest results at least expense. He advocated the daily distribution; as this prove most effective, and suggested that the barnyard should never be allowed to fill, with it. In spring, when the yard is filled with- manure, better let it be there than haul it out and delay planting the corn.

W. Edwin Cheyney recited "How Betty Killed the Bear." Miss Helen Cheyney read a paper on "Modern Mechanical Household Helps." discussing- the vacuum cleaner, the bread mixer, the sewing machine, washing machine and fireless cooker, and paid special attention to the last named, which she looks upon as Invaluable. A case was cited in which housekeeper kept ico cream in one compartment and a hot dinner in the next. Anna' D. Pennuck.

The following 1 clipping- from a Presbyterian is furnished the Times by John Cochran, who recommends that it be read by every man and woman reader of this paper: Kansas people are proud, of their achievements atrriculturnJly. they have reason to be proud of them: but here is a record wliich We tako from the daily press, on the assumption that it is correct, which we believe it is.

Of this also they can be proud: "During the -past year, J8 out of tho 105 counties, with a population of 430,274, did not send a single. priKoner to tho State penitentiary. Fifty-seven of the 10B counties had not a single pauper. Eighty-seven of the 105 counties did not send a single Insane p.xtleri't to un institution.

'Prohibition is a success wherever you have the right kind of people; and the other side of It is, Probition helps parents to grow the right kind of sons." DARBY OVERSLEEPS Whistle of Textile SCWut And Bopnlace Beyond irs-ual Darby arose fifteen minutes late Tuesday, as a result of three big textile mills having put into el'fc-ct a cut of two hours from their employees' time. The cut, which affects the employees of the' Verlenden Brothers' Imperial Mills, the Griswold Worsted Mills and Grayson's Dauntless Yarn Mills, was the first step made by the manufacturers 'toward the granting: of the fifty-five hours a week schedule decided upon at a meeting- held last Saturday night. It does not mean a reduction in salaries, and Is, therefore, equal to an increase.

The three plants started at seven o'clock, instead of at 6.45, as had been the custom. The first whistle on the Verlenden'a mills has acted as the official morning awakening of Darby for years, and has heretofore sounded at 5.30, with a second blast at 6.15 and a third at 6.35. Yesterday with the change of reporting time for the employees, the morning whistle sounded fifteen minutes later than usual, and as a result of this, the housewives, who waited for the first whistle to arouse them, got- their husbands and off to work fifteen minutes later than usual. Each of the other two whistles also sounded fifteen minifies later'than had been the custom. This schedule will continue.

--No. change has been made in the closing time, except on Saturday, so that the evening whistles will continue to blow at the usual time. My When for a stroll down the lane I would take, Accompanied by no and all have forsake; There is a companion where ere I go, Is with me always upon my stroll. Now who is this companion so brave and so true? Is he short? Is he tall? And his hair, what hue? Now if I should tell you just what he looks like, Yes, you might laugh at even his height. Just one inch thick and three feet tall, And upon his head is no hair at all.

Instead is a cap of the finest gold, Which is of "karat" of fourteen all told. Now who can this be so peculiar in form, So brave and true, and yet so forlorn. To possess such an image as described And KO through the world and remain yet alive. Now I will tell you, if you do not laugh. Though compared to my height he is out one-half: Now do not think that I am not sane.

THE EVENING NEWSPAPER Take the: first chapters in the history of a dozen big- advertising- successes, and they read alike word for word. The ambitious promoters began in a small way and grew big'by degrees. They cautiously Invested a few dollars, and usually the first experience was disappointing.

Gradually, as they got into the thing deeper, and learned by. experience what no one could actually teach them, their timidity changed to confidence. Boldness Is the thing that carries a business to the victories in both peace and war. Some men have reached marked success bj using small advertisements when they started and kept on using them indefinitely, but these are exceptions. One man has 'accumulated millions by running: five and ten-cent stores, but many men have made more millions by running stores' where the prices range from five cents to $5,000.

So in business big advertising eventually is the requirement for big success. In every city there is generally one single newspaper which should get the largest mart of an advertiser's money, and that paper Is nearly always printed In tlie evening. The other papers are, of course, valuable, but the one leading evening paper often will pro- A young lady by the name of Harris had the misfortune to fall down a flight of stairs Tuesday evening, and although pretty badly shaken up, was not seriously Injured.

ROCKDALE duce more in the way of actual sales than the rest combined. It isn't difficult to pick out the best evening paper in any city. Usually its circulation is very large, and always it Is a clean paper that prints all the news In a way that does not violate the proprieties, and.always it keeps in close touch with the desires, and ambitions of the common people that Lincoln loved so fondly.

If the circulation Is confined largely, to people who have not the moans to buy what you sell, then the large quantity of that poor quality is practically useless. Do not necessarily choose" as a dium the paper that you read because you like its politics. Do not select a paper that is all quality and no quantity. But pick out that paper which stands high generally in your city that more respectable people read It than any other. Large circulations secured by sensational methods are not.good advertising mediums for standard advertisers.

Neither are small circulations secured by appealing to the very cultured and "very rich. Of course you can learn all this by trying it out, but it costs a of money and all the mistakes' you can sidestep in the beginning will help you reach the top in less time. BERT M. MOSES.
