had absconded with money belong

There is general complaint with
the large summer resort keepers
that comparatively few city peo-
pie are coming. They say that in
years the season has not been so
poor and various reasons are as
signed for the dearth, chief of which
is the automobile. They declare
that every man who can possibly af-
ford a machine, and many who real
ly cannot, has one, and instead of
locating at some resort the family
remains at home and weekend
trips are taken.

proprietor of a well known road
house not more than three miles out
of Honesdale came to town Tuesday
to get his tool and before he started
for home all his Honesdale friends
knew what he thinks of the cut-out-
much more moderate in their con-
demnation.
