New Hands Put at Work
BY the Penn Company.

Two new hands were put at work
by the Penn Cut Glass Company this
week, and two more hands will be
nut on next week. Work has not
been commenced on the new shop at
Prompton, and Hawley people don t
give a hang if they never build 1T,
for they would like to have Mr.. Loz-
ier remain right in their midst.

The Fans Wore Overcoats
While the KeystOners Played Ball.
(Reported for The Citizen.)

(Reported for The Citizen.)
The employees of the Keystone
Glass Cutting shop were idle last
Thursday, and as the day was fairly
good, the boys thoughts turned to
base ball Bill Rouse of the second
floor picked out eight others, COM
posed of comebacks and comers and
challenged Cubbie Bea of the first
floor, who picked out his men COM
posed of veterans and comers to play
for the championship of the shop.
Each manager decided to pitch for
his respective side, and both did we'll.
Rouse's team won by their superior
base running by the score of l to 8.
Murphy and Rouse starred for the
second floor by their all around
work. Bea and Rowland starred for
the first floor by their heavy hitting.
Batteries for the second floor were,
Rouse and Smith; first floor, Bea and
Rowland. The game was we'll played
and very interesting throughout
The day was fine, with the exception
of a stiff east wind which caused the
many fans to wear their overcoats
in order to keep comfortable. The
game started at a. m. Just as soor
as the Umpire, Samuel Martin, (tht
scout for the Hawley team last sum
mer) yelled "Play Ball." it had iti
base ball effect, for the echo seemed
to travel around the whole town
1t aroused base ball players and ran
even from their beds OF slumper. Al
seemed to get the fever alike, AM

1t Isn't Much Trouble
To Paint Some Towns.

1t is easier to paint in some towns
than it is in others, and, as good
3 brother Post, of Battle Creek, re-
marks at the bottom of all his litera-
ture, There is a reason" For in
stance, there is the case of some
young men of Hawley, fine fellows,
too, who have hankering to become
artists; and their favorite color is a
bright vermillion. When they begin
to swing their brushes in dead earn
est, officer Richardson just has busi-
ness in some other part of town, or
goes to sleep, or does almost any
thing so that he won't make them
feel that they are being watched too
closely, for you see, Eddie was boy
with them, they grew up together,
and he knows they are not at all vici-
GUS. Therefore, the painters art for
them in Hawley, when they are prac-
ticing at it, runs along as smoothly
as a verse of Homer Greene's famous
poem, What My Lover Said"
But unfortunately for the boys,
Honesdale officers are not like Rich
ardson. They can't appreciate art
They don't like red paint. Wow!
Wow! 1t makes them mad all the
way through just to think red, to
say nothing of seeing the stuff, and
when our young friends from Haw-
ley began to brush in" the red hue
on the Maple City's exposed surface
what did the officers of the law dc
but arrest them, and, the morning
after" they were fined for theiI
trouble and pains. They are sure
now, that Honesdale doesn't appre'
ciate art. Thus, what they for 6
long time suspected has now become
a reality.

casion has real, live Congressman
spoke to the people of this town.
The other occasion was several years
ago, and the Congressman was none
other than Hon. Galusha A, Grow,
who was Speaker of the House in
Civil War days. In his early days
Congressman Grow attended school
at Honesdale.

There's a Case of Typhoid
Pneumonia in Hawley.

William Rose, brother of G. w.
Rose, the grocer, is sick with typhoid
pneumonia at his residence at the
Eddy. His condition is very seri-
Gus. He is a young man, recently
married. He was sick for some time
before being confined to his bed.
Where he contracted typhoid is not
known.

No, You Couldn't Miss
The Watts Advertisement.

The advertisement of the Detroit
er automobile that G. Watts & Son
have in another part of today Citi-
zen, is worth reading by everybody
interested in the subject of carriages
that travel without the aid of horses.
After you read the advertisement
you will surely want to see the car
itself, and that you can easily do by
calling at the Watts garage.

The Boys Band Held
Its First Rehearsal.

Everybody in Hawley is boosting

report that they made fine show OF
progress. The boys are very enthu-
siastic and are working hard for sue

priests and health,
Cool, whispering pines adorn thy
southern crest;
Men see them merely as a source of
wealth;
But list they whisper, whisper of
eternal rest.
Fl%NAY the time never come when
MI the sound of the woodman' S
T=5 axe or cross-cut saw will
VsSa2O be heard in the removal of
the beautiful pine grove
that adorns the southern boundary of
the borough of Hawley. That grove
is one of the most priceless posses
sions of the town. Instead of allow
ing any of the trees to be removed,
extra effort should be put forth to see
that they are protected and kept
from disease. That grove of pine
trees does infinitely more than adorn
the village, for it is a source of
health. 1t could be removed in a
few days by workmen, but it could
not be replaced in generations.
When Southern Pines was started in
North Carolina in 1884, one of the
wise provisions was that no pine tree
was to be cut, unless absolutely
necessary. Long, long ago the wis
dom of this action has been dem
onstrated over and over again.
What the writer hereof is saying
about pine trees he says also about
the hemlock. Save every hemlock
tree possible, not only in Hawley, but
in every part of Wayne County.
Many farmers are awake to the i'm
portance of the hemlock tree as a
source of health and wealth, and sew
eral beautiful little parks of those
trees are becoming noticeable in this
part of Old Wayne-especially no
ticeable may be mentioned a park on
the southern end of Cajaw pond, and
one or two along the Middle Greek
between Hawley and Hoadleys. In
writing on this subject previously the
following was perpetrated on inno-
cent Wayne county readers:
Cut not the hemlock tree
Protect each dropping bough;
Twill help you build your chickery
Some forty years from now.
Again let me say to Hawley peo
pie: Under no circumstances allow
your pine trees to be sacrificed
When the town begins to grow, as i
shortly will, there will be a tempta
ton to make room for dwellings or
the southern hillside, and that viii
mean the removal of the beautiful
pines When that time comes, dC
not yield to temptation, but save thu
beautiful pines.

call of "Play Ball" There were
Stars, Vets, Corners, Comebacks, and
Has-beens. Most prominent among
them were Joe Seller, John Mulligan,
Gene McCloskey, and George Brun-
ner. All seemed to be anxious for a
workout. With the exception of Null
ligan and Drummer, the team is about
ready to sign up for the coming sea-
son. These two players are training
down, and it will take them about
two weeks to get in condition. That
is, if the team decides on having a
representative ball team
There's no reason why we couldn'
have a good team with so much
good material close at hand, and only
too anxious to try to make good.
There are two pitchers that are anx-
ious to play if they organize. Both
are living in town. One was former
ly from Mayfeld, known as Jack
Neary, brother of the famous Joe,
who pitched for Mayfield last year,
and Bill Hill, formerly from Read
ing, known as the boy with the
Electric Curve" who terrorized the
batters he faced.
During the game, a stranger was
seen sizing up the players, and it was
rumored that he was a scout sent
over by E. j. Coleman, owner of the
Scranton team. After the game, this
scout was seen enticing George Brun-
ner off the field.
There has been repeated calls fol
a base ball meeting in town for the
purpose of organizing a team, but sc
far nothing has been started. If some
one doesn't start something, we will
lose our best material, as in the case
1 just cited; so, fans, get busy.

The Late Solomon Jones
Conducted UThe Travellers

COnOucUeU Inc lfaNelltT y IOIhc'
Few people in Hawley will recall
the fact that the late Solomon Jones,
who died at Ariel the early part of
this week, was at one time resident
of this town. That was away back in
1876 and '76. Mr.. Jones lived in
little cottage on the ''level" between
Nos. Is and 10, and, becoming tired
of the monotony of country life, he
bought out John Chamberlain, a
tavern keeper of those days who was
famous for the good things to eat he
set before his guests, and whose hos
telry was in the building now occu-
pied as a residence by William
Schardt. Mr.. Jones called his public
house "The Travellers Home" That
was in ''the good old days" when
there were real taverns in the land
In these days instead of calling his
public house "The Travellers Home
it would have been called "Hote
Jones'" Mr.. Jones was a worthy sue
cessor to Mr.. Chamberlain and We
never heard that the fame of the
dinners of "The Travellers Home
were any less than those served by
mine host Chamberlain; but, after
year or two of life in Hawley he re
| turned to Ariel where he remained
almost uninterruptedly, we believe
up to the time of his death.

What G. p. Nell Did to
Solve the Ice Problem.

c. P. Nell, Hawley's popular
butcher, got tired of handling ice.
Further than that, he reasoned it
out that there will be more and
more difficulty in the future to Sc
cure ice, and he decided to cut out
the ice business entirely, as far as
the big chunks of frozen water are
concerned He said he was tired OF
handling the stuff, anyway, with its
accompaniments of sawdust and
slop. So he installed cooling pro-
cess that is so much nicer and equal
ly as good. The writer saw it at
work, and put his fingers on the
frost covered pipes. 1t is wonder,
and no mistake On the hottest day
in summer the machine will cool the
large box in the sales room and an
equally large compartment in the
machinery room by running two
hours in the morning and two hours
in the afternoon. The cold air is
dry and sweet, and Mr.. Nell is more
pleased over the new way of keeping
his supply of meats cool than he was
when he had ice galore.

in any car at any price. But these
six features are not all. Every part
of the mechanism follows those ideas
which experience has shown to be
the safest, the least wasteful of pow
er, and the most conducive to the
comfort of the passengers-such
ideas as a unit power plant with en-
closed fly wheel mounted on a three
point support, a selective three
speed transmission, and ball bearings
throughout the car. Every defect
of the low-priced field is corrected
in this high product of engineering
skill.

LOWER RENTS SOCIETY
APPEALS TO GOVERNOR
Wants Taxes on Little Homes
Reduced-Vincent Aston s
Visit Is Mentioned.

Governor Suffers aid has been asked
bv the Society TO Lower Rents ana Ike
duce Taxes on Homes in its enort 10
obtain reductions Of rents and taxes on
little homes i'm this city. \ petition has
been sent to the Governor calling upon
him 10 ask the Legislature at the special
session to pass a bill which would permit
the voters Of New York by referendum
10 say whether the tax rate on buildings
shall be gradually reduced 10 half that on
land. The letter reads:
Your many years residence Oh the
East Side Of our city has made you APP
preciate the tremendous burden OF rents
upon the people. Rents are almost As
high in other sections Of New York city.
This is bad enough in winter. but the
crowding in rooms. due TO the poverty Oh
the people at least affords them then
little warmth. In the terrible heat OF
summer the condition Of the people IN
many parts OF the city, forced by eXces-
sive rents TO live three or four in room,
is uncomfortable.
"Of course. YOU know the reason why
rents are so high is that buildings are
taxed so heavily: that there are too few
OF them because land speculation is more
profitable than putting up tenements or
other buildings
"The recent sale OF lots in the former
Morris Park racetrack emphasizes the
enormous profits OF land speculation.
That tract Of land was purchased ten
years ago for 10000 and was sold for
nearly 100000 DO you think it is demo
cratic or Just to tax poor people on Their
rents to make such profits for land specu-
lators?
The Astor estate land ought to pay at
least million more in taxes every year
than II does. Instead Of that, all OF us
workers arc taxed TO increase the value
OF the Aston land Is that fair? Maybe
you talked this over with Vincent Astor
when he visited YOU in the Peoples
House last winter.
The Legislature YOU have called back
10 Albany refused this year TO pass
bill letting the voters OF New York city
determine by referendum vote whether
the tax rate on buildings shall nc gradu-
ally reduced to half that on land, 50 that
rents and taxes on little homes would be
reduced.
Wont YOU ask tho Legislature go pass
such a bill at this special session?
I'VE want direct primaries aud nomina
tons but that alone will not reduce rents.
only untaXing buildings in part or whole
and taxing land values more heavily will
reduce rents and taxes on small homes.
won't YOU help MS 10 do this
