The citizen. (Honesdale, Pa.) 1908-1914, 1912-12-11

John Shaffer, of Canaan, was
brought to Honesdale on Saturday
by Constable Short of Waymart,
and lodged in the county Jail. He
was arrested in Waymart last week
on information sworn to by James
Burnett and a hearing was held be-
fore Justice of the Peace Weede in
Waymart. Shaffer was sent to jail
and was to pay a fine for making
threats against some members of
Burnett's family. 1t is thought the
case will be settled to-day and if not
will go to court.

Among the forty-fiye successful
patrolmen of Philadelphia, out of the
one hundred who recently took the
examination for appointment to the
city detective force of that city, ap-
pears the name of Joseph A. lie
Strange, formerly of Honesdale.
His name appears second on the list
of forty-five men who were success
full in the recent civil service exami-
nations. He is a son of f. NJ. lie
Strange of Cold Spring and a broth
er of Fred LeStrange, who is en-
ployed in the postotflCe here. His
average in the examination was
S6.2, while the highest was S9.15.
At present the detective corps OF
Philadelphia comprises 2S men and
a captain with only a few vacancies.
1t is known that Director of Public
Safety Porter wanted to put new
life into the corps and had the ex-
animation held to determine those
who had detective brains" He will
probably use the available As to fill
in. A detective receives Sl7OO a
year. He has been a plain clothes
man for about eight years. Mr.. LIE
Stranges many Honesdale friends
extend heartiest congratulations or
his success.
State Treasurer officials declare
that the decrease of $3,141, ,519.9
in the balance in the Treasury at the
close of the fiscal year of 1912, as
| compared with the balance at the
| close of 1911, was very easily ac
counted for, because the disburse
ments under the general appropria
! tion act were heavier than formerly
I and in addition S6,391, ,672.S2, ol
$75O,915.3S more than in the las
| fiscal year, was paid to schools. The
highway construction also cost more
than before and the charitable ap
preparations were heavy, especial!
for new buildings. Attention wal
also called at the Capitol to the fac
that the $32,374,S90.4 of revenue
for this year was gross revenue anC
that from it had to be deducted
three-fourths of the personal proper
ty tax. This tax amounted TO 50,
$3O,567.46 and three-quarters of
went back to the counties where
originated. A further reason for tn
decline of the balance as comparet
with the same day in 1911 was tn
payment of S1,626,350 of bonde,
debt, which was cut down, to S659,
1902. This caused the sinkin
fund to go down to $7S5,000.

A State Exposition

The Milwaukee Daily News has
very nicely stated the situation re.
garding the needs and benefits OF a
state exposition, for which prelimin-
airy arrangements have been made,
to be completed at a meeting 10 Mil
waukee this week, in the following
editorial:
An exposition setting forth the in
dustrial and agricultural ac-
complishments and resources of
Wisconsin, to be hello in Mi waukee
will certainly be a powerful educa-
tional force. Such an exposition is
being planned by men prominent in
the commercial and agricultural life
OF the state and it is expected that
it will be held at the Auditorium
some time next fall.

ance in Wisconsin as to the re-

the industrial world. It is to re-
move that ignorance and put in it's
place a just appreciation of the real
position the state holds in the
world OF material affairs that til is
exposition is planned. And it
should result in creating a state
spirit, as well as in telling the truth
about the finest state in the union.
Many Wisconsin people have been
tempted by the glowing literature of
far away lands ard left better con
ditions in this state to find, in many
cases, that they had followed the
will'-o-the- wisp of prospective for.
tune, been lured from sure thing
by that ever present idea that If it
is far away it is better. Compare
lively few Wisconsin people really
appreciate what is being cone in
the state and Of what great develop
ment the state is capable.
Such an exposition as is proposed
should awaken in the people of the
state. 1t should also go far to
teach the B,dger people that for.

too frequently snow bound Canada,

A Word to. Merchants

The merchants Of the smaller
cities and towns sometime wonder
why it is that the big stores in the
larger cities get the cream of the
business and that it does not come
to the merchant in the small town.
The reasonsis very plain if they
would only keep their eyes open and
watch the "big elbows drum up
the trade. Long before the season
arrives the managers of the depart
ment stores begin. their campaign
OF advertising. explaining the lates t
arrivals to be had at their stores
and the people become thoroughly
acquainted with what is TO be had
when the season arrives. People
are always on the lookout for any
thing that is new in the dress line
or in other lines and naturally their
attepsion is drawn to the ads OF the
"big fellows" in the daily papers
which are circulated to some extent
in our midst. The people in the
smaller places want to keep pace
with the style and naturally they go
to the cities where they know this
class of goods is to be had.
Why2 Because they have seen t
advertised.
The local merchant carries the
same class of goods and may have
styles just as up-to-date but he uses
the reverse method. When his new
goods arrive they are placed on the
shelves and he is content to wait
until some one calls for the article.
He expects that everyone knows
what he has ordered. He does not
call the attention of the public TO
what he has by advertising in the
local papers which are circulated ex-
tensively al home, but on the other
hand takes it for granted that PEG
pie onght to know. This is where
he makes serious mistake. When
the season arrives the people who
are after seasonable goods begin
going to the cities for they have
seen the goods advertised and they
know they ere to be had and the
department store begins gathering
| in the cream Of thslbusiness.
When the little fellow begins
mis- advertising campaign if he be-
gins at ALL it is after the cream of
the business has gone and he is a.
fraid that he is going to have more
stock on hand then he can dispose
of. He is then 10 direct competition
with the department stores that
have begun their price slashing to
clean up thei r surplus. The styles
are then getting to be old and it is
almost time to begin On an other
line. The merchant hims elf is to
blame in a large measure for the
business that goes outside.
A word,t the Wise is, sufficient.
