THE PAVE QUESTION.

What Main street property owner
favors mud to brick, "Amiesite' or
some other good road preparation?
Now is the time to act. The town,
since being incorporated, has had dirt
roads. Honesdale has grown to
great proportions, but it's streets are
the same natural roads as when the
town was first laid out. Honesdale's
muddy Main street should be placed
in good condition. 1t does not repre-
sent what the town really is. The
main thoroughfare in order to keep
up with the prosperity of Honesdale,
ought to be paved or the surface
treated with some other durable ma
terial.
Strangers coming to town eXclaim
"What a beautiful town Honesdale
is, but why don't you pave Main
street? 1t is a blot on the town."
When outside visitors pay such
compliment as this to our town it is
about time we sat up and took no.
tice. One reason why Main street
was never paved is the appearance
in the imagination of several people
of a huge mountain called tax. This
great obstruction would always loom
up when pave was mentioned or dis
cussed. But now new materials have
been successfully tested and give bet
ter results at cheaper prices. One
of these is "Amiesite," rock-coated
fluid asphalt. 1t is laid by heavy
pressure. 1t is claimed by the man
ufacturer of this material that the
composition will not chip in zero
weather nor bleed under the rays of
the sun in the summer.
with the confidence placed in the
promoters of the Wayne County
Street Railway company that that
road will be built and assured aid
from the State in the construction of
a proposed pave or macadam road it
appears to us that the town runs
very little risk of losing anything or
creating a heavy tax which will throw
Honesdale into debt. The sentiment
of the town has changed from the
time when vote was taken for mud
or brick and is now on ratio of sew
enty-five to one in favor of paving.
Let it be hoped that within the
next few months the committee ap-
pointed by President Martin Cau-
field at the special meeting of the
town council held Tuesday evening
thoroughly investigate the project of
paving and secure the best prices,
the best material and ascertain from
other cities and towns what is really
the most durable and serviceable.

Governor Tener's annual message
is far from being the spineless docu-
ment usually looked for from the
chief executive of Pennsylvania in
times of undisputed organization
domination. 1t plainly reflects the
changed political conditions under
which the legislature resumes its
labors, and includes in it's recon-
mendations many of the proposed
enactments to which it has been the
fashion to append the label of pro
gressive," as well as others to which
the governor can lay claim to au-
thorship. Taken as a whole, the
message is a sane, moderate and SEN
sible summary of those needs of the
state which can be supplied by well
considered n.-Philadelphia

GOVERNOR TENER's MESSAGE.

Admirable in tone and more not
able for its aggressiveness than any
other public document issued within
recent months, the message of Gov.
Tener tos the General Assembly of
1913 will long be remembered in
the annals of Pennsylvania. His
recommendation for the dissolution
of the borough of Coatesville because
of the race riots there and the sub
sequent refusal of juries to convict
on evidence is a drastic proposal that
will set the whole State by the ears.
The suggestion is So unexpected
and of such stupendous Importance
that the public will hardly be in a
position either to approve or disap-
prove it until it has had time to di-
gest the possibilities it contains.
Without doubt, the people of
Coatesville did, "by fomenting muir
der and consorung with murderers," +"
violate the laws of the State and OBJ
struct the administration of justice,
but the Governor has staggered us
all by invoking in the case of this
borough principle of constitutional

Fruit Damaged by Frost.

From San Bernardino to Los An
Angeles every acre of oranges and
lemons has been frozen.
This was the statement that came
tonight from Pomona, center of one
of the heaviest producing sections of
the citrus fruit belt. Only a fifth
of the crop may be salvaged, it was
asserted. If this be true the total
loss on 1000 acres of fruit will
amount close to forty million dol
lars. More conservative estimates
have figured the total damage at
twenty million dollars.

HEART TO HEART TALKS
WITH
OUR BUSINESS MEN.

The opportunities offered by the
parcel post is beyond limitation. 1t
has come to stay and means big
thing for the wideawake merchant.
Honesdale business men, by being
on the job, can work up a good busi-
ness in Wayne county and surround
ing rural districts. Why not get af-
ter the trade as we'll as the city mer-
chants, who will bend every effort
to get the trade in the country dis
tricts? You have the advantage over
mail houses 200 or more miles away
in that you will not be obliged to
pay near the amount of postage that
the mail order houses will be re-
quired. The local merchant has an
important advantage over the city
department store and mail order
houses in reaching out for the trade
in this section, and if he is a live
one he will profit by it. If he is
"asleep at the switch the big city
houses will get the cream of the
trade through his own fault. Shop
ping by mail is going to be an i'm
portant branch of commerce, gain
ing steadily in volume as the eff
cheney of the parcel post and the
familiarity of the public with it's
advantages increase.
Inventory is now on in full blast,
but by the end of the month you
will have a number of odds and
ends in your store for sale. The
best and quickest way to dispose of
them is to place an advertisement
in The Citizen calling the public's
attention to the fact that you have
number of real live bargains which
you invite their inspection. The
chances are that you will sell them
within a few days after the ad-
vertisement appears.
This is what John Wanamaker
has to say concerning advertising
1t took me two years to learn that
newspaper advertising is the only
real business beverage, but 1 learn
ed it, and for 4S years / have been

wonderful help in building my busi-
ness"

scrubs, we have yet no experiment
which has ever conclusively proved
that pure breds are small eaters. Both
kinds of steers consume practically the
same amount of food and give ap-
proximately the same gains. but the
beef type steer yields a greater profit
to the feeder.
Well bred animals. especially for
beef production, put on their fat be-
tween the fbers of the muscles. Civ
ing tender. juicy, toothsome meat,
while the native or dairy steer places
his fat in masses above the body and
especially in the body cavity. Slaugh-
tering tests conducted on the above
animals showed that, comparing the
dressed carcass to the live animal,
there was 3 per cent less waste in the
beef breeds. The beef type steer
yields cuts that are heavier, thicker.
better covered with whittier fat, nicer
in marbling and little better in color
of muscle. Thick heshed cuts COM
mand higher price per pound in mar
ket. The judgment of the market
places from 2 TO cents a pound more
on the thick feshed carcasses than on
the natives.
Improved cattle have the ability of
putting their fat on at young age.
One Of the reasons that the baby beef
Is so expensive is because it cannot
be produced with common plain cat
tie. 1t costs more per pound to get
the baby beef feeder. and then it does
not give so good market. No one
can compare well fed beef bred steers
with the dairy breeds or natives with
out measuring the above differences.

Of his way and pay little attention to
the noisy driver, says correspondent
Of the Orange Judd Farmer.
In hot weather it Is almost impos-
sible to hurt him. and he does not
sweat nor pant, as does the horse. A
mule seldom gets into trouble. for he
seems never to get scared, If he kicks
over the tongue or gets his harness
fast he either gets loose quietly or
waits for the driver to get him out of
the difficulty.
One Of the especially good points Of
the mule is his excellent health. A
sick mule is rare indeed. He will not
overeat nor drink too much when
warm.
A mule does not require as much
concentrated feed to keep him in good
flesh as does horse of corresponding
weight. The mules at Lakeside farm.
near Storm Lake, Ia, where l was en-
ployed, were fed eight pounds Of she'll
ed corn and generous supply Of tim
othy hay per day. That kept them in
as good flesh as horses on heavier
feed. and they did more work than the
1000 pound drafters receiving ten
pounds Of shelled corn. eight pounds Of
good oats and good timothy hay.
Mules will consume more roughage
than horses and less grain. Give them
plenty of hay and they are about sat
isfied.

VALUE OF BREED
IN BEEF MAKING

Every person who has had success
full experience in cattle business knows
that blood tells" in beef making. says
Farm Press. Centuries ago intelligent
herdsmen recognized milk and beef as
the two useful products that cattle
might supply man. They began the
selection of the most suitable types of
animals to best supply these products
and laid the foundation for the mod.
ern breeds Of beef cattle that we have
today.
The breeds especially adapted for the
production of beef are the Hereford.
Angus, Sborthorn. Polled Durham and
Galloway. Each Of these has its
distinct breed characteristics. but the
one excuse for its being is the fact
that it will produce beef to the best
advantage under certain environments.
Many experiments have been conduct
ed in this country to determine. II pos
sibie, what advantages are possessed
by the beef type steer as compared
with dairy bred or native steers.
The results Of eight feeding expert

Of feed fed to beef bred cattle than on
natives. As to the claim that pure

GOOD POINTS OF THE MULE.

Long cared Hybrid Better Than the
Horse In Many Ways.
The mules ability to take care Of
himself makes him very desirable
where much hired help is employed.
You cannot irritate him as you can a
horse. He will take a good, steady
gait and keep it. Many hands will
jerk and yell at horse until he loses
more flesh from the excitement than
from the work. but not so with the
mule. He will pursue the even tenor
