GOOD EVENING!
(In Tho City).
When wo left our hotel to go down
to business Thursday morning, tho
thermometer registered three de
grees above zero. There is no dis
counting tho fact that Winter is
hero in cold earnest.
Ry tho way, tho Union Revival
meetings open next Monday evening
in tho Baptist church. Are you go
ing? No unkind pulpit references,
wo understand, will bo made, if you
are suircring from tho "grip," and
havo to use your "bandanna" once
or twice only please do not use It
too vociferously! t
Said a devout church-goer to us
last Monday, in explaining his nb
aenco from divino service Sunday
night: "I wouldn't Jiave gono out of
tho house to hear tho Angel Gabriel
preach last night. 1 havo a head on
as largo as a bhshed basket this
morning!"
Yes, wo admit, tho "going" was
pretty bad!
GOOD MORNING
(On Tho Farm),
"Oh, dear! Ma, I just must havo
a new set of furs. My old ones look
vo shabby. Don't you think l'a
would get them for mo?"
"I don't know, Mary. Better nsk
him after dinner, when he's in good
humor. 1 know ho wants you to
look ns nico as tho other girls."
"All tho other girls nro jealous,
too, Ma, because John Randolph, the
millionaire's son, has taken me out
slclghrlding several times. My, he's
awfully nice, and I think he likes me
too!"
"Go along, Mary. Yon are just
as big a coquette us your beautiful
Aunt Mary after whom you were
named. There comes l'a, now. Bet
ter ask him about the furs."
"All right, Mother dear."
"BIGGER, BETTER, BUSIER!"
How about that for a "slogan"
for Honesdalo In tho year 1011?
Suppose wo all get together, nnd try
and make tho Maple City a "Bigger,
Better and Busier" shirctown! How
about "cutting out" tho "knocking"
for a while, and starting in to do a
li'ttio old-fashioned "boosting" for a
change. Why not put in tho months
intervening between now and the
opening of (lie coming strenuous
political cumpnigii in advancing the
interests of tho dear old town of
Honesdalo in which wo live, nnd
from which wo earn our bread and
butter?
Honesdalo is an ideal spot for
any industrial concern to locate.
Bents are low, good sites can bo se
cured nt a low figure, money Is eas
ier, and tho press moro liberal in
giving free advertising space than
in any other city of equal size in the
Commonwealth of Pennsylvania.
Railroad facilities nro excellent, nnd
freight rates reasonable. What
more can any corporation nsk?
By tho way Mr. Scranton Capi
talist, and Mr. WUkes-Barro Pluto
crat, nnd Mr. Everywhere Million
aire, If you want to start something
that will pay you big dividends,
come to Honesdalo, nnd call at THE
CITIZEN oIIIco, and we'll put you
next!
DANKE SCIION!
(Also "Thank You!")
Wo nro indebted to tho AVILKES
BARRE RECORD and to tho
SCRANTON TIMES for copies of
their splendid year books. They
aro brimful of information and nro
very convenient to have at hand for,
ready reference.

Docs Tho Attempt nt Conquering tho
Air Pay?
Tho death record as published by
tho' dally papers places tho number
at thirty-nine. Does this list pay
for the knowledge) gained In the last
3G5 days?
Tho past few days has brought
this moro prominently to our knowl
edge than at any other time In tho
past by the death of two of our
most prominent aviators of tho
world, Arch Iloxsey and J. U. Mol
sant; both of these men wore at
tempting to break tho records at
the recent meet at New Orleans and
In their endeavor of lowering tho
records brought upon their own
death which has put a damper on
this sport, one of the most prominent
amusements for tho rich of tho pres
ent day.
It has been ono of tho most expen
sive pleasures yet Invented and still
may bo classed In tho Fools Column
and should bo kept there till some
future date when our learned and
wise men have gained a complete
knowledge of the movement of tho
different trade and still winds that
exist and aro so Important to tho
aeronaut and his skilled machinists.
Reckless driving of horses, automo
biles, street cars and trains are not
to bo compared with the reckless
ness that these men, who take their
life in their own hands every time
that they rise In the air to win tho
paltry ten or twelve thousand doi
lars that they may recelvo for their
dear and dangerous sport.
Tho sensation of falling ten or
twenty feet is known to most all of
us and It is a sensation to say the
least that Is very unpleasant; then
can one conceive that which is felt In
a fall of from fifty to a thousand
feet where nothing less than death
awaits us at the end?
Crushed bones, torn flesh and the
mutilated body awaits us. Would
you relish a death of this kind or
would you not rather have life take
Its own course?
'Tls true that In time It will make
man an Impossibility except In the
air; tho lives of our bravo men will
not be called on in such large num
bers, but they will require the ser
vice of our bravest and most skilled
men who are the backbone of the
nation. Will it not In a way demor
alize the world? The great number
of men who are so Important to all
successful nations will all be taken
at once, many never to return again.
Factories will be the ones most hurt
and are they not the real life of
our nation? Are not they tho heart
of the commonwealth? In fact, they
are the real backbone of our coun
try. Therefore should not this experi
ment live only in the one that It
really belongs In, that is, the experi
mental class and let those who wish
to risk their life, for It Is said to be,
for the welfnre of the country, and
at the same time keep the simple
and foolish class who only keep at
It for their own pleasure out alto
gether.

CATARRH AND CHRISTIANITY.
In this climate, where catarrh Is a
national characteristic, and at this
season of the year, when everybody s
nasal passages are obstructed, the
pathway to piety Is difficult, observes
tho Erie Times. Shall a man go to
church and cough and sneeze and
blow his nose? Certainly not. His
convulsions distract the clergy, and
his explosions drown the words from
the chancel and render It useless for
other people to attend church.
But shall he stay away from
church and starve his soul? asks a
contemporary. Certainly not. The
suggestion is undoubtedly the
prompting of tho Evil One. The
devil gets into a man's throat for no
other purpose than to Inspire him
with an excuse for absenting him
self from the place of worship. The
devil gets into his noso tho man fre
quently says that himself In order
to keep him from tho house of God,
where tho words of life are dispens
ed. Let no man stay away from
church because he has a cold In the
head, even though he seek to dignify
It by - calling it "Idlluenza," or
beautify it with a touch of foreign
elegance by calling It "lagrlppe."
What, then, is an average Ameri
can In the winter to do? He is be
tween the devil and the temptation
not to go to church and the deep
sea of shame and remorse at disturb
ing worship. From the pulpit comes
the exhortation to go to church, hut
not to cough, sneeze or use his ban
danna. But can he? As the Roman
citizen In "Corlolanus" says: "It is
a power which we have no power to
do." The prospect Is extremely
gloomy.
Tho problem looks as insoluble as
the question of what would happen
If nn Irresistible force should en-
countor an immovable, obstacle. But
there is hope In Maxim. Ho Invented
a silencer for rifles; why might he
not Invent a silencer for throats and
noses? A congregation of persons
equipped with silencers could enjoy
all the spiritual benefits of the sanc
tuary without deafening each other,
destroying that stillness which Is In
Itself a means of grace and driving
the clergy frantic.
AMUSEMENTS.
The management of tho Lyric
could mako no more worthy an
nouncement than that of the well
known romantic drama, "Graus
tark," which proved so successful
with theatregoers the past season.
Wo vouch for this attraction with
the assurance of all concerned In Its
being as high class and entertain
ing as ever. "Graustark" entertain
ed theatregoers so well tho past sea
son wo aro more than pleased to an
nounce the play at tho Lyric for the
near future. Few novels of recent
years havo dramatized so well, and
waat with tho splendid company
engaged and the magnificent scenic
investment, it more than lives un to
all that is said In its favor.

I "Bigger, Busier, Better Honesdnlc."
I Mr. Editor:
Through tho efforts of your clr
I culatlon campaign the writer re-
cently became a subscriber to your
paper. I wish to compliment you on
I the modern method you aro employ
i , i . .1.., j i . t ..
ing to uiuruu&u uiu uu uuiuuuu ui
THE CITIZEN, and I feel sure you
will bo rewarded for your enterprise.
I havo read with considerable In
terest tho doings of your new "Board
of Trade," and note tho possibility
of,6ecur!ug a new Industry for your
town by paying a bonus of S5.000.
Modern Boards of Trade do not con
sider any such propositions at all.
Any manufacturing concern which
requires a city to finance Its business
for them before locating their plant
Is a very poor asset for the commun
ity In which It it locates. However,
I do not know of a place where a
Board of Trade has a better field in
which to work than Honesdalo
Of course tho object of your
Board of Trade Is to bring In new
Industries, and by so doing make a
bigger, busier and better city. Let
me suggest that your Board of Trade
make Honesdale a better city and the
bigger and busier part will take care
of itself. For a starter let your
Board of Trade take up tho matter
of paving your main street, and stick
to that one thing until the object has
been accomplished. Then the ques
tion of sanitation should be taken up,
and above all things e'neourage the
industries you now have, because you
cannot afford to lose a single one.
Yours very truly,
K. D. PURDY.
A WISE OLD SAW.
There Is a saying which Is true;
Perhaps a trifle vulgar, too,
But so expresslvo you'll confess,
You can forgive Its commonness.
It may be that it's old to ,yoii
"Don't bite off more than you can
chew." i
A sermon In those words you'll see,
I think that with me you'll agree;
Wo are all apt to try to do
Much more than we can carry
through.
A motto good for you and me,
Perhaps that old proverb would be.
Mayhap a "brain storm" It would
save,
If proper heed to It we gave;
Our strength to fight lasts the long
er, too,
By keeping those wise words in view
And planning out our words each
day
That wo shall have a time to play.
Though we should strive with all our
might,
To finish up each task In sight;
But at the same time bear In mind
Too much begun will drag behind.
In work half-done there's no delight,
Nor Is joy formed In work wo slight.

Stroudsburg Times.) .

Spraying Mntcrinls Outfits.
The President of a prominent
manufacturing concern In North
western Pennsylvania wrote to H. A.
Surface, State Zoologist, for detail
ed directions on tho subject of ma
terials and apparatus necessary to
spray his large orchards. This sec
tion of the state Is seriously in
fested with Codling moth and gradu
ally becoming covered with San Jose
scale. The following reply was sent
him:
"Replying to your letter of the
8th, I can say that we use the ordi
nary stone lime or quick lime, and
any kind of powdered sulphur, but
the commercial powdered sulphur,
which is the cheapest, does all right,
and, consequently, I recommend It in
preference to tho more expensive
forms. Boil one pound of lime and
two pounds of sulphur with each gal
lon of water, for fifty minutes. Add
water to make up for that which
was driven off by steam, and strain
It, and keep it as long as you wish
in closed vessels, and when you are
ready to use it, dilute It with seven
times Its bulk of water, and spray
thoroughly. It must be used only
on trees that are leafless or dor
mant. This kills the scale Insects
and eggs of plant lice, canker worm
and other Insects, as well as the
germs of many kinds of plant dis
ease. "In answer to your inquiry as to
the kind of spraying machine that is
best. I must say that this depends
upon the size and number of your
trees. For fifty trees of average
size a barrel spray pump will do
very well. You should be sure to
have hose enough to let you reach
tho tops of tho trees. You may need
two leads of hose, and one long and
ono short extension rod. If you will
writo to reliable manufacturers of
spraying apparatus, tolling them the
number and size of tho trees that
you wish to spray, they will send
you Illustrated catalogues, and tell
you what outfit Is best adapted to
your needs.
"You can spray at any time when
the trees are dormant. Bo sure and
do a thorough job, and before spray
ing prune oir an dead, lniured and
very sickly branches.
' After the blossoms fall, snrav
again with either Bordeaux mixture,
or tho lime-sulphur, diluted five
times as much as for San Jose scale.
To each fifty gallons of the solution,
add two pounds of arsenate of lead.
Apply this just after the blossoms
fall, never spraying while In bloom.
Make another application In about
two weeks from that date, and you
will need no further spraying for In
sects nnd plant diseases, unless
something unusual should occur. It
Is all right to scrape the trunks of
trees before spraying but not neces
sary. In spraying rough-barked
trees, l mow the liquid into the
cracks, by holding the nozzles at
different angles. It would pay you
well to attend some of our demon
stration orchard meetings In your
county, and see apparatus, and learn
by observation how tho work Is
dono.
"The fertilization of a tree Is a
job belonging to pure horticulture,
and for full answers to this, I
would refer you to Prof. J. P. Stew
art, Stato College, Centre county,
Pa., who will send you Bulletins on
this subject. If you need further
help along tho professional lines
which I represent, I shall bo glad to
glvo It."

Tho crop report for the year 1910
has not yet been completed. I am
Informed, however, that the value of
our cereals, Including potatoes and
hay, will bo 1170,000,000; and that
of tho animal Industry Including
poultry, will aggregate $180,000,

for a change In tho method of high

activity of the state police during

ed to th'e work of the railroad com
missioner, banking department, de
partment of factory inspection and
national guard. He calls attention
to the mandate of the constitution
for reapportionment of tho state af
ter each census.
On the subject of state armories
the Governor says:
Tho General Assembly In 1905 cre
ated a State Armory Board of the
erection and maintenance of armor
ies for the use of tho National
Guard. In three sessions of the Leg
islature an aggregate appropriation
of $1,000,000 was made. This mon
ey has been wisely and carefully ex
pended. In addition to tho mainten
ance of armories, the Armory Board
reports assets of more than ?1,500,
000. The property acquired is In
value far In excess of the amount ap
propriated. This condition, how
ever," Is largely the result of con
tributions of land, money, and pro
perty by Individuals, organizations
and municipalities. An armory
property was acquired at Scranton
for $90, which Is now valued at
$225,000; another at Philadelphia
for $110,000, valued at $225,000,
and another at Bollefonte for $20,
000, valued at $30,000. The county
of Allegheny contributed $155,000'

"For over three years I suffered
much pain and annoyance from

from my digestive organs. My food
would stay in my stomach and fer

ache. I doctored and used every
remedy that I heard of, but It re
mained for MI-O-NA to cure me en
