NOW FOR GREATER HoNEsDALE

NOW FOR GREATER HONESDALE.
The time is ripe for Greater
Honesdale. 1t is a pity that a place
the size of Honesdale, with all the
chance in the world to expand,
should be kept cooped up in small
borough line and give an expression
to the country at large that we only
have a population of 5000, when in
reality nearly 1000 people live with
in a radius of one mile from the
Honesdale postoffice. Let's branch
out. The overwhelming victory of
the pave issue signifies to the people
that they do not want to remain in
the dark ages all the days of their
life. Let us exercise that pull-to-
gether habit and get under one gov
ernment, instead of being divided in
borough and township. Texas town
ship will soon have to build new
school houses to care for it's pupils.
It's school tax is now higher than
Honesdale. Why make an unneces-
sary increased Indebtedness when
Honesdale can take care of it's High
school pupils?
People cannot get away from facts
and figures. We therefore reproduce
few figures for brain food and ask
our Texas readers to digest them.
Honesdale's school district tax levy
is 6 " mills on the dollar valuation,
having been reduced from mills
two years ago, before the new
school house was erected. Where is
the increased tax? Property own
ers are paying less school tax today
than they did when the old school
house was standing. The assessment
books show this. In one instance
the reduction is S2.20. Now COM
pare this with Texas township. Out
side of Seelyville and White Mills,
which are independent school dis
tricts, Texas township taxpayers pay
a school tax levy of mills on the
dollar valuation, a half mill more
than Honesdale. Seelyville property
owners are taxed mills on the dol
lar valuation and Honesdale only

100000 school building with all
modern conveniences, ventilation

making diligent inquiry; but they
were not led to do so by anything
the Independent published, and it
admits the fact.
In some way the people found out
what they wanted, and The Citizen
modestly claims little-just a lit
tle-credit along that line.
The Independent pursued don't
care a hang whether Main street is
paved or not" policy, and passed that
over as sample of progressiveness.
The people to the tune of 10 to one
rebuked the spirit of that sort Of
progressiveness. They care a hang
whether Main street is paved or not" !"
and said so most emphatically.
The President of the Council, Mar
tin Caufield, said " the way to pave
is to pave" and the people took up
the slogan. The Citizen believes
that true progressiveness is some
thing that makes progress, such as
replacing the mud on Honedale's
main street with substantial pave,
and dares and does say as much.
Another choice bit of knocking"
in the article in the Independent
was the following:
There is much apprehension
expressed that the proposed
trolley railway company will
not meet its share of the pave
ment obligation"
This was published in the face of
the following published statement of
NJ. B. Allen, the President of the
Wayne County Street Railway Com
pany:
"Emphatically yes! The Wayne
Street Railway company will do it's
share"
And now, in conclusion, we refer
our esteemed contemporary, in the
most loving manner imaginable, to
the following:

~ SNAPPY LITTLE BUSINESS STORIES. -
copyrighted 1911 by R. B. Simpson

Ebert Hubbard declared recently
that the four biggest things in our
existence are agriculture, transporta-
ton, distribution and advertising.
The fifth big thing-manufact
was omitted.
These five great forces are covered
by two words-porduction and distri-
button. Production includes all
farming, stock raising, mining and
manufacturing Distribution includes
transportation and all forms of ad-
vertising and selling.
Production is largely a mechanical
process controlled by set rules evolv-
ed from a technically trained mind.
Ten shoe manufacturers may use the
same kind of machinery, the same
grades of leather and employ the
same methods and all turn out exact
ly the same kind of shoes.
But let these ten concerns or any
ten in other lines of business employ
the same plan of distribution and no
two of them will show the same re-
suits.
The real problem in the manu-
facturer and retailer is the distribu-
ton of the finished product. The
best means to this end is advertis-
ing-and advertising is the big end
of business. It's a business in it.
self-one that knows no rules, but
is subject to constantly changing
conditions.
The basic elements of success in
every advertisement are found in the

ing. 1t proved to be a single car in
charge of Roaring Gill' Spangen-
berg, the head runner on John Sam
sons train. His wife was with him.
He stopped his wagon" and thor
oughly disgusted and completely
worn out ex-school master climbed
slowly and lamely aboard, dragging
that two-ton satchel after him. There
was only mile and half left of
that Is mile journey, but it was the
hardest stunt, that young teacher
ever did in all his life.
Well, those were the thoughts that
rose up life ghosts as H. F. Nichol-
son paid his subscription and smiled,
just like his father, Seth G., used to
smile when he was deputy Prothono-
tary under the late local historian,
P. G. Goodrich. Seth, by the way,
was one of the best pensmen in
Wayne county, and Frank didn't
have to take off his hat to many in
that line, either.
When in the office swapping yarns
he told smilingly of a recent expert
ence that we pass on to our readers
His hair is dark, and you'd never
guess or reckon him to be 60 years
old; but right in the midst of his
dark hair are one or two locks of
white. He didn't explain how they
got there. But there they are, show
ing up in contrast like white cat on
dark night. Somebody told him
to get an old-fashioned big copper
cent, put it in a bottle, pour vinegar
on it, let it set for few days, giving
it an occasional shaking, then use it
on the white locks of hair. He paid
five cents for the big copper in Phil
adelphia, put the vinegar on it, wait
ed, shook it, and all the rest, then
used the mixture just once. He said
he believed it would have worked
had he gone right on with the game,
but he quit, and those white locks
are still there, and the bottle with
the cent and vinegar are sitting un-
used on the upper shelf of his kitchen
cupboard in Hamlin, the town in
which he was born just 60 years ago.
If any of our readers have white
locks among the black, they may try
this remedy just as much as they
wish, and maybe it will work all
right. Who knows to the contrary,
or can know to the contrary without
giving the remedy fair trial?

A BIT OF INFORMATION.

There was an election in Homes
dale last Friday. We don't know but
we would let it go at that and say
nothing more about it if it were not
for one or two little incidents.
Here is one of them:
The Citizen began booming the
pave project last January, and kept
right at it, publishing article after
article, argument after argument,
columns of information for Homes
dale readers. This work was backed
right up by the Honesdale Board of
Trade and the Honesdale Business
Mems Association.
On the Tuesday before the cleo
tion our esteemed contemporary, the
Independent, published ONE article,
and that less than a column long.
1t started off with this statement:
So far this journal has TAX
en- no active part in advocating
the pavement of Main street"
The statement is absolutely true,
although farther on in the ar
ticle it admits that
Honesdale is somewhat be-
hind the times and other places
of it's size throughout the coun-
try on its street improvements.
The modern way, and the one
adopted by all growing towns,
is now up to the people and
70 nf hnrn fn
cept or reject"
In the face of this candid admis-
sion, can anyone grasp the peculiar
logic that directs a newspaper that
claims to be the organ of Progress
siveness to
take no active part in the
pavement of Main street?"
Why did the Independent publish
its one article at all? 1t claims that
this was the reason:
GAS we near the taking of
the referendum vote on the
question of increase of debt,
interest is awakening and peo-
pie are making diligent inquiry
regarding the details of the
plan. These we are giving in
another column in order that
our taxpayers may vote intelli-
gently on the question. The
figures given are those of State
Engineer Riegel to our town
council"
1t is true that interest was
awakening; but the Independent
didn't sound any gongs according
to its own admission to help the
" awakening along.
1t is true that the people were

plan behind the campaign. Adver-
tising cannot gather force continual
ly nor can a salesman become more
than mere order-taker unless back
ed by sound plan.
Advertising MAKES a business,
but it will also BREAK it if the
plan is wrong, incomplete or alto
gether lacking. The perfect plan
makes the advertising co-efficient
with the sales force, but the plan
must be consistently followed to its
conclusion.
Many promising National campaigns
have failed because their promoters
tried to do too much at the start.
They wasted their initial advertising
appropriation by scattering it thinly
over a large area through National
publications instead of concentrating
on the home market FIRST. They
started with the wrong plan.
Any article good enough to be sold
by dealers in other cities is good
enough for the people of your home
city. Use your daily newspapers for
creating home demand FIRST and
then extend your distribution
through newspapers in other cities.
In this way you can concentrate on
choice territory and finally extend
your business to smaller centers. by
using National mediums.
A careful analysis of your PROPOSE
tion, an efficient organization, and a
complete plan will make your adver-
tising sell goods at a profit.

Philadelphia, Pa, July If anyone
wonders why it is that the Athletics
are setting the pace in the American
league he should take squirt at the
batting averages of the Mackmen.
They are all hitting at a championship
clip.
Six of the Mackerels, five of whom
are regulars, are now in the 300 hit
ting division. The batting optics of
the Athletic stars are about as good
now as when the Athletics carried off
world championships in 1910 and 1911.
Those of the house of Mack who
are hitting the pill at 300 or better
are Eddie Collins, Amos Strunk, Dan
Murphy, Stuffy McInnis, j. Franklin
Baker and RUDE Oldring. Collins
ranks fourth in the American league
list with a mark of 1866; Strunk is
fifth with 1886; Murphy seventh with
1913, and the other men mentioned
follow close behind.

Mccormick has been on the job for

dismaTy to show the class we antici-
pated. Personally, the finest of fel.
lows, it hurts us and hurt me to be
forced to look around for the trouble.
Against my wishes, desire and hope,
I was forced to conclude that, despite
the very commendable recommends
ton, Mccormick had failed. McCor-
mick is a popular fellow, a grand chap
and a gentleman. But l believe that
what the fans demand is a winning

..'-----~- land.

Chicago, H., July There was a
riot and disorder at the west side ball
park yesterday when the Cubs for
feited the second game of a double,
header to St.Louis after turning IL
into one of the worst farces seen on a
ball field.
The Cubs won the first game, to 0,
and 1t was agreed to call the second
game at o'clock so the Cardinals
could catch an early train for Boston.
1t was S:45 o'clock when the second
contest was started. In the opening
inning st. Louis scored three runs
after exhausting Is minutes or more
of the time.
Immediately the Cubs purposely be.
gan delaying the game, with the hope
that o'clock would come before five
innings could be. finished, thereby
avoiding defeat, for in that case it
would not be complete game.
The crowd of fully 1900 persons
Immediately began jeering the Chi
cago players for their unsportsmanlike
conduct. Umpires Nal Eason and Bill
Brennan each warned Manager Evers
tinued the game would be forfeited to
st. Louis. In spite of the warnings.
Manager Evers himself deliberately
stalled on play at the opening of the
fourth inning and Umpire Eason
promptly declared the game forfeited.
