THE WAYNE COUNTY FARMER.

Somebody asked the Wayne Coun-
ty Farmer last week, Why did you
and | come to Wayne county, any
way?" We were over at Washington
buying a little coal oil, some socks,
clothes pins, etc. Somehow or other
when fellow goes to town on busi-
ness he divides business up in a
couple of classes, and then for part
of the time chooses that class of
business that comes under the head
of sitting around and fooling away
time" Some swift fellows in this
world, who don't take time to lift
their toes over the stumbling blocks
that bob up on the road of Joyville,
can't see anything important in the
doings of the man who occasionally
holds down crackerboX or stick of
stove wood, while his brain is ming
ling with that of another fellow who
is doing the same thing. The man
who sits down does not display any
other action to them but that mark
ed jaw action which manipulates the
chunk of tobacco under his cheek
Few people see all the wise thoughts
that fit from the brain of the man
who sits and thinks. And the only
time you can think is while you sit.
That's why they put benches in
schools and Office chairs in offices.
No man on earth can climb a step
ladder or turn a hand spring and
at the same time plan out hog
food that will make two hams grow
where one grew before. ! say that's
why the Wayne County Farmer is
often seen sitting down. Some of
my enemies claim that / am initiating
a lazy man in disguise, but | chal-
lenge them to set a thimbleful of
their ideas aside of mine and make
an honest comparison.
Wayne county, / am proud to say,
has nothing but thinking people.
That's the secret that brought me
here, and the fellow / was talking
to in town last week. We knew
pretty we'll that we could feel at
home here and we didn't nave - te -,
around long to find out that we felt
exactly what we wanted to. Any
body who doubts my words is advised
to tramp over this county and inves-
tigate. If he finds one person who
has never sat down / will get Lena to
darn him the niftiest socks that ever
saw the sun rise in America. 1t is a
straight-away fact that nobody in
Wayne county has stood up all of his
life, and Government statistics will
! bear me out on this.
People who sit and think must oc-
casionally have food for their think
ers. A persons thinker must be fed
as surely as a persons stomach.
Without food both will go out of
commission. But there are as many
| think foods as there are of the other
kind. The best think food that is
| prescribed in these parts by Doctor
| Wise is The Citizen. He says that
| one dose taken twice-a-week will
make a man feel like a half-grown
! blue bird bathing in the sunlight that
| sheds brilliance over hill and vale,
! treetop and fence corner. Nobody
| knows just how such a blue bird feels
! but old DR.. Wise, and we all take
| his word for 1t because we all read
| this paper. And nobody has ever
| been fooled. This man, DR.. Wise,
/ has a peculiar way of advertising his
/ think food; he simply holds a mys-
/ terious hand over peoples heads and
! therein creates the determination
that prompts them to hook up the
mare and deliver a dollar and a
half to the office in Honesdale where
this good article is manufactured by
the wholesale. If you have a queer
feeling and cant explain any rea-
sons for 1t, very likely DR.. Wise is
having you under treatment. 1t will
be pleasure to you to get $3.50
worth of his food at once. After a
year you will be much improved. but
you will not be satisfied until you
get an additional $3.50 every
year as long as the sun rises
and sets in Wayne county, where
people take time to sit and think,
grow fat from fun, turn their backs
to the shadow that pretends to sneak
'o'er the cabin, and smile in unison
with the Wayne County Farmer, who
was born to tickle mankind with a
lead pencil instead OF broom straw
Don't go to Europe for your pleas.
ure; sit down and obey DR.. Wise. He
!. can't be seen, but he's here.
