The Chester Times turns every point to good ac-
count. Many men would like to be Mayor of
Chester, says The Times, but the Hon. Ben Fox
seems to be the only one who wants the job bad
enough to advertise for it. And the foxy Times
adds that many a man has found what he wanted
by advertising for it, The biggest advertisers are
the most successful men in the world Now is the
Times to advertise" But suppose the Hon Ben
Fox should not be nominated, what would he think
of the advice given by The Times?

imp PORTS FIVE
CAMP|NE PULLETS
F. ". SchuerhOlz Owns
Remarkable Birds
LAY EGGS WHEN FIVE MONTHS
OLD; BROUGHT FROM BEL
GIIJM

These birds have been on the
go, since the first of August, and the
day after they arrived in Honesdale,
one of the pullets laid an egg"
Such, declared Frank w. Schuer-
holz, the Main street cigar man, to a
Citizen reporter, recently, was the
wonderful record made by one of the
five Campine pullets, which crossed
the water from Belgium, along with
male fowl of the same breed, on the
day after they reached the Maple
City.
"These pullets are only five
months old. They mature remark
ably fast" continued Mr.. Schuerholz,
who is an enthusiastic chicken fan
cier, and an active member of the
Wayne County Pigeon and Poultry
association. They practically get
their growth at six or seven months.
The average bird don't lay until
they are eight months old. Take a
bird Matched in April, as most of ours
are, and if they lay in November,
they do well. Often they don't lay
until January or February.
These Campine fowls are probably
the first of their kind in this section
of the State. They have been bred
lot laying purposes Tor many genera
tions, and were we'll known in the
time of Charles V, four hundred
years ago.
Tradition speaks of them as far
back as the year 1906 A. d. The
name Campine is derived from the
plain La Campine in Belgium, where
they are raised in large numbers.
Belgium breeders consider them far
superior to our Leghorns which they
resemble in everything save color.
The Campines are good to look up
on, with their black and white feath-
ers broidered with silver white hack
les. Withal they are active fowls.
These imported birds stood their
trip across the Atlantic remarkably
well. Scores of chicken fanciers
made it point, last week, to drop In
and see them at GIL Church street.
I'll bet he'll exhibit them at the
County Fair next FALL" remarked
one envious chicken man. Say, they
are pretty nice birds, brother, aren't
they?"
They be.

Boy Rams Auto

While Edward, six-year-old son
of Mr.. and Mrs. John Reifier, was
going to school Tuesday afternoon
at 1:15 he ran into S. A. McMullen's
automobile and injured his right
knee and ankle on the running
board of the car. Young Reifler was
in company with two other boys
about his own age and were running
across the State bridge. Mr.. Nc
Mullen blew the horn upon the auto
before he turned down Twelfth
street, but owing to the height of
the bridge, the boys failed to hear
or heed the alarm. Edward ran in
to the car as it passed over the
crosswalks. Mr.. McMullen stopped
Immediately afterwards, inquired
the boys name and took him home.
He was afterwards taken to DR.. F.
w. PowelPs office. No bones were
broken and the doctor says beyond
being shaken up he is none the
worse for his experience.

DYBERRY NATURALIST KNOWS
FROM PERSONAL EXPERI-
ENCE; THE WRITING
SPIDER

Theodore Day, naturalist of Dy-
berry was an interesting caller at the
Citizen office Saturday morning. Mr..
Day, whose store of knowledge is in
exhaustible along nature study, is
very interesting person. Whenever
he comes to this office he always has
something new. Something that is
beneficial to mankind, also instruc-
tive and interesting. Saturday
morning he told a reporter num-
Der of interesting traits and pecu-
liarities about spiders. MIR. lay said
Saturday was a typical August day
in that the weather was similar to
the month just passed and that
spiders had their webbs all spinned
anew after the recent storm, ready
for prey.
Speaking about spiders the natur-
alist mentioned the writing spider,
name which he has given it, ow-
ing to markings upon the web rep
resenting the letters NJ, N. and w,
which are plainly visible in dry
weather as we'll as when the dew is
upon the web. These letters are
made, according to Mr.. Day, who
has made a careful study of the
spider, by this delicate weaver of tiny

grasshoppers become the spiders
prey. When grasshopper struck
the web the spider turned it over
three times fastening it's legs with
thousands of tiny cords, so that it
was unable to kick, and then it was
at the mercy of the spider. To ac-
complish this she spins all her webs
at once. The spinnert is composed
of three parts and each part is cap
able of spinning one thousand webs
or the. three parts three thousand
webs at once.
Then there is the bell spider .
continued Mr.. Day. 1t is very rare
in this county. One morning |
went out and saw a score or more
of the bell spider webs, but some
bird captured the spider and | have
not seen any since. They are very
plentiful in Columbia county. The
bell spider builds it's web among the
dead brush in pastures. When COM
pleted it is in the form of a bell and
the spider stays up in the top of the
bell-shaped web, where she waits for
her prey, which is chiefly of gnats.
" Then there is the net-web that
| lays fiat. 1t is densely thick and
varies in shape. Sometimes it is
long and then again it may be
round. This kind of a web is the
common spiders home"

Jersey City, and Mary A. Kallighan,
formerly of Erie street, Honesdale,
were killed Sunday evening when the
last car of a three-car train on the
Giant Racer" high roller coaster
at Coney Island, left the rails. Their
bodies were wedged between the side
of the overturned car and the guard
rail and badly crushed. Two women
and boy, the other occupants of the
car, were painfully but not seriously
injured.
The coaster where the accident
happened is about eighty feet above

scaling ladders to reach the spot and
extricate the bodies of the victims.
Miss Kallighan was born in Homes
dale IL years ago, where she resided
with her mother until about eight
years ago, the family having since
lived in Scranton. The deceased was

calls go into the depths of ignomini-

MORNING GAME.
The largest crowd ever seen at a
morning game turned out Monday
to see "Sandow" Stegner hold the
locals at his mercy for nine innings.
In addition to striking out ten men,
he only allowed the locals six scat
tered hits, and some of those were of
the scratch variety.
He's there all the time, that
pitcher is,' moaned one of Leon
Ross little boys, after tanning twice
in succession. And he surely was.
Herbert Male was hit safely four
teen times. Inasmuch as four of
these hits were punched in the sec
ond inning, Taylor made getaway
start of four runs in that stanza, and
kept on adding runs in the fourth
and fifth innings.
Sandercock was the only local to
connect safely with Strong Man
Stegner's curves twice, scoring a
single and a double. Jacobs featur-
ed the game by making fine run
ming catch of Seebold's long fly in
the third Schilling bunted the
third strike, in the seventh. Brader
and Ross pulled off neat double
play in the eighth.
Bnjamin Hessling went in to bat
for Dudley in the ninth stanza, and
singled to centre. Male walked.
Hope sprung up in the breasts of the
local fans, for games have been won
in the last canto., But Bader. went
out on a grounder to lScheild, and

senting the glass cutters, the shoe
makers and labor in general, re-
spectively. Following them were,

Main and countermarch to Bellevue

1t was quiet parade, and a quiet

which attracted the most attention
was the 170 glass cutters who wore
their white work aprons and white
hats and were led by the National
Organizer, Robert Luckock of To-
ledo, Ohio.
The airship was voted "cute," by
the women, and too cute for any
thing" by the young ladies.
Mr.. William Goat was also much
admired.

Day with the closing of the county
offices, the banks, barber shops
grocery stores and numerous other
business places. Bellevue Park was
the center of attraction all day long
where dancing was enjoyed until a
late hour, the music for which was
furnished by the Honesdale Band
Several refreshment stands did 8

it is expected that a neat sum ot
money will be realized.

Tuesday morning. Long before the
