feature of The Citizen, and we shall
endeavor next year to make the
word-picture sketches more COM
plete and comprehensive than we
have found our limited time possible
to do this year.
And now, dear reader, have a
good time. This is the children's S
holiday. Get down from your dig
nified perch and join the kiddies in
their games. Keep them smiling
make them not only glad that Christ
mas has come, but glad that YOU
are home and enjoying it with them.

"THE SELFISHNESS OF MRS.
WATERBY."

We urge all Citizen readers not to
let the day pass without reading the
beautiful feature story that occupies
all of the 9th page. 1t is one of
George AIDES best, and it is as force
full as it is attractive.
When you get through, after you
have read it aloud to the family cir
Gle, it will be in order to hold little
debate over the query as to whether
Alfred Waterby was justified in lying
to his wife. The story gives you
something to think about; and any
man with a heart so hard that 1t
isn't touched, and who is so far gone
astray that he doesn't feel ashamed
of himself for mean suspicious he
may have harbored against his own
kindred, his neighbors or his friends
deserves to have Santa Claus cut his
acquaintance forthwith.
The Citizen regards this story as
far-and-away the best short Christ
mas sketch that has been published
in years; and that is why it wants
every one of it's thousands of readers
to give it careful perusal.

THE CHRISTMAS CITIZEN.

Although we publish but one pa
per this week, that number is COM
posed of ~ pages, four more than
compose the regular issue.
To-day's Citizen is real Christ
mas paper, intended to be read on
Christmas day. 1t is quite different
from the cut-and-dried Christmas
numbers. 1t is not composed of
many pages. Its good features are
not smothered with big advertise
ments, nor are it's advertisements
lost in the maze of many pages and
the picture business over done.
Honesdale, Hawley, Ariel and the
big city "Over the Mountain" are
featured by little write-ups of busi-
ness enterprises. These notices are
so written, displayed and grouped
that they attract attention of read
ers in a natural and pleasing man
ner. We found the time that could
be devoted to this work entirely too
short to make a regular canvass of
any of these places. We regret that
we could not find the time to see
every business man and present to
them all an opportunity to go along
with us in this happy holiday num-
ber Nobody was Intentionally over
looked or neglected. We do not play
the game of favorites.
The value of these pages of write
ups consists in presenting glimpses
of the towns represented in a way
that makes this number of The Citi-
zen especially desirable to send to
out-of-town friends. Rest assured
they will appreciate such thoughtful-
ness on your part. We have printed
certain number of extra copies, and
you may get them while they last at
this office.
1t is our intention to make this
sort of Christmas number an annual

A HAPPY BIRTHDAY PARTY.

About twenty-five girl friends of
Dorothy Rodman gathered at her
home at No. Durland brick block,
Monday afternoon from 3 to 6 to
help celebrate her eleventh birthday.
The hours merrily sped away, there
being many games that were indulg-
ed in. Among those that afforded
greatest amusement were the crock,
peanut and donkey games. Janette
Burns proved to be the most adept
in placing the tail on the donkey.
She was awarded the first prize,
which consisted of beautiful cupid
picture. Lea Kimble was awarded
the consolation prize, being success
full in placing the tail fartherest
away from its proper place.
In playing both the peanut and
crock games there was more fun con-
tanned in them than one could
"shake a stick at" Alice Dibble pos
sessed the best nerve, in that she
carried ten peanuts upon a knife
across the room. She was awarded
first prize which was a dainty Santa
Claus calendar. Anita Krantz was
given the consolation prize.
Sitting on a crock with the feet off
the floor and writing ones name
without touching the feet to the floor
was a game that caused considerable
fun. 1t is a game that requires great
skill in keeping ones equilibrium
and was unsuccessfully tried by the
/ little guests, except one, Virginia
Brown, who captured the prize after
many attempts. 1t consisted of a
handsomely 'hand-painted china tray.
After the afternoons amusements
the little folks repaired to the dining
room, where appetizing refreshments
were served by Mrs. Leon Ross and
Mildred Rodman. The guests were
seated at the table which was artisti-
cally decorated with red and green
crepe paper festooned from the chan
daliers to the corners of the table.
The birthday cake was the center of
attraction. Eleven flickering can
dies, each one representing a year
in the little hostess life and it, too,
reflected many happy hours. On the
outer circle of the cake was a
wreath of holly, symbolic of this
glad Christmas time. The bright and
merry faces of the little ones, beam
ing with an almost superhuman
light, reminded one of Him who
said, Suffer the little ones to come
unto Me, and forbid them not, for
of such is the kingdom of Heaven"
The invited guests were: Janette
Burns, Lillian Babbitt, Virginia
Brown, Ruth Bodie, Margaret Bader,
Janette Buerhart, Camilla Connolly,
Irene Dillemuth, Alice Dibble, Ger
trude Fryer, Helen Hessler, Helen
Jackson, Anita Krantz, Margaret

CENSORSHIP.

Running a newspaper is a great
business. Those in charge always try
to please their subscribers and at the
same time give the news when it hap
pens and offer suggestions. We
have heard it said that newspaper
men are poor critics, and it may be
true. In our last issue we reproduc-
ed an article concerning the moving
picture business, speaking of it from
national STANDPOINT, incidently sug-
gesting that possibly it might be well
to have censorship committee to
pass upon reels of pictures before be-
ing shown to the children. The Citi-
zen by no means intended to do in
jury to anybody or any concern when
it reproduced the editorial, but rather
spoke of the picture business from a
national standpoint. 1t is heartily
sorry if it offended the management
of the local theatre. The pictures re-
ceived by Mr.. Dittrich, we have been
informed, are strictly first-class and
need no censorship He is presenting
as fine bill as can be reproduced
by any moving picture house on any
New York City circuit.

CONGRESSMAN AINEY FOR RE
ELECTION

The Citizen endorses the name of
Congressman w. D. B. Ainey as a
candidate for the nomination for the
reelection of Congressman on the
Republican ticket. In our opinion
Hon. w. D. B. Ainey is the man for
that exalted office. Truly our con-
gressman of the Fourteenth district
has made a splendid record and is
deserving of being sent back to serve
his constituents in Washington for
another term.
We, as a people, do not realize
what we owe Congressman Ainey.
He has not only served the people
in a National way, but in an inter-
national manner, being one of the
celebrated and dignified peace COM
mission who was sent by the United
States to represent this great ma
ton at the peace conference at the
Hague. In what better way could
district in this commonwealth
serve one of it's sons than by nomi-
mating and electing him to another
term as Congressman of this dis
trict?

MOORE is THE MAN.

Oh, say! Turn right over to the
10th page of to-day's Citizen and
take look at DR.. Clement Clarke
Moore, who is described as THE
Man Who Knew Santa Claus Best.
Isn't that a fine, friendly old-time
face?
1t was the man whose picture we
gladly publish to-day who wrote that
Christmas classic, "A Visit from St.
Nicholas" You will be glad if you
save that picture for your scrap
book.
The writer has heard that the
Doctor wrote his matchless poem
with no thought of publishing it,,
much less that the sun would never
set on its popularity. He has also
heard that for time the poems au-
thor was unknown, as it was pub
lished anonymously. This may not
be strictly correct, and is not pub
lished as a fact, but as a hear-say.
DR. Clement Clarke Moore was an
American author. He was born in
New York city on July 10, 1873. The
Declaration of Independence was
only three years old when he first
saw Gods sunlight. He died in New
port, r. l., on July 10, 1868, in his
S5th year.
Now, listen! You would most
naturally suppose that the mind that
detailed the pleasing fancies of "the
night before Christmas" would be
writing stories for boys and girls, in
short that he would be writer of
juvenile literature; but not so. He
was the compiler of the first Hebrew
and Greek lexicon published in
America. He wrote other poems, but
the world only seems to remember
his Santa Claus musing. 1t is well
to remember, also, that the extensive
grounds of the General Theological
Seminary, of New York city, were a
gift from DR.. Moore.
Perhaps, now that you know
more about the author of "a Visit
from st. Nicholas" you will read il
once again with a new and more ap-
preciative degree of interest.

"a SANTA CLAUS RHYME

There is really no necessity in ad-
vising the youngsters to read the
jingle on the 18th page of to-day s
Citizen that describes the Pack, the
Sleigh, the Reindeer, the House, the
Chimney, the Hearth and the Stock
ing that Santa Claus found If San
ia put in his time last night with all
of these things, they certainly know
all about it to-day; and the chances
are they are too full of mince pie,
candy, dough-nuts, turkey and stuff
from the drug store that the doctor
said should be taken every half hour
until the ache disappeared, to do
much reading, anyway.
The citizen. (Honesdale, Pa.) 1908-1914, 1913-12-25

received from Washington county,
Pa, at the Division of Zoology of
the Department of Agriculture, Har-
r1sburg, with requst for informa-
ton as to the cause of their impair
ed condition. One of the specimens
was from a tree that appeared to be
diseased when it was planted some
twenty years ago, according to the
correspondent, who states that sit
has never done any good"
Prof. H. A. Surface, the Economic
Zoologist of the State, in reporting
upon the specimens, wrote as fol-
lows:
Il have received the tWigs and
bark OF your evergreen trees, which
you sent to me, and must confess that
can not lind any insects present,
and the subject of plant diseases be-
longs to the specialist known as a
plant pathologist. For that reason
| would advise you to send twigs to
Professor N. B. Waite, U. S. Plant
Pathologist, Department of Agricul-
ture, Washington, ID. G.. Also, if you
wish, you might send some twigs to
Professor Hugh Baker, Forester,
State College, Pa.
1T appears to me that the tops
of your trees are too dense, or, per-
haps they are too much shaded.
would advise cultivating the ground
about them, and opening out the tops
by little pruning. Some fertilizer
containing phosphoric acid and pot
ash, such as would be obtained in
phosphate rock and wood ashes,
should be mixed with the soil around
the roots"
The citizen. (Honesdale, Pa.) 1908-1914, 1913-12-25

The Citizen extends heartiest
birthday greetings to our townsman,
John E. Richmond, who upon Satur-
day, November 20, 1918, passed the
18th milestone in the walk of life.
1t is the Citizens hope that both Mr..
and Mrs. Richmond will live long
to enjoy earth's blessings.
Mr.. Richmond is an ardent ad-
mirer of Dr. Frederick A. Cook and
was instrumental in getting the doc
tor to give his lecture in Honesdale
last year. By the way, Mr.. Rich
mond, although having in his pos
session two books containing the
original autograph of DR.. Cook, visit
ed The Citizen office one day re-
Gently and secured Dr. Cooks hand
somely illustrated book, entitled

and also to old subscribers paying
one year in advance.
