The object of the trip -was to place the different streets of Hones dale, getting their distance in mlleB made by the borough officials, the time and speed being obtained down to a fine point. Stop watches were used with which all of Honesdale's police force are equipped. Main, Church and West Park streets were taken as a whole and also blocks, collectively and separately. Mayor Kuhbach and the police force are now equipped with stop watches and the police will make arrests, irrespective of persons, who violate the borough ordinance of running faster than ten miles per hour through the streets of Honesdale. A fine of $25 will be Imposed. :0: SIX MONTH ENLISTMENTS. General Wood has proposed to Congress a novel scheme of six month enlistments for the purpose of popularizing the army and to attract a class of people who may be benefited by the military training. This class Is composed mainly of high school boys and college graduates who heretofore have only looked towards the commissioned grades. General Wood believes that young men of intelligence should be easily prepared in the essential ground work of military practice In that length of time and that good results would ensue from the regular hab its of life enforced by military discipline and service. The plan seems feasible with the one good point that the business careers mapped out by young men Just leaving our high schools and col leges would not have to be abandoned as is the case with the five-year terra. At any rate it would be an interesting experiment and one that might be tried with good results to the youth of the country. ;0: . RECKLESS DRIVING. From authoritative reports it seems that unfamlliarity with the roads and fast driving were tho two causes most responsible for the automobile disaster on Sunday afternoon one mile this side of White Mills. That the accident did not result more seriously than it did was a piece of good luck for which the occupants of the car should be truly grateful. The automobile has come to stay as everyone will admit. In fact It Is the day. of the automobile and when driven carefully with a due regard to the safety of pedestrians and vehicles nothing can be said against It. Much can be said, and Indeed, has been said against the automobile in the hands of an Inexperienced or careless owner or driver, and especially when the speed mania takes hold of such a driver and he "lets the car out." A man has a perfect right to risk his own neck If he wants to do so, but ho has no right to endanger the safety of the occupants of his car or tho life and limb of those who may be uslngthe road at the same time his car is tearing at breakneck speed around curves with which he is unfamiliar. Automobile accidents aro all too common and the one on Sunday is a sufficient example of the risk Involved In speeding. Let plain, ordinary common sense be used, and except for the unavoidable accidents which occur through defective parts of tho mechanism, the danger and loss of life will be decreased to a minimum. :0: GAINING FRIENDS. The Citizen is highly elated over the fact that universal interest is be ing manifested in the "Stourbridge Lion 'Horatio Allen" monument prop osition. The suggestion printed editorially in The Citizen of June 20 has been widely read, copied and commented upon by other papers. It stat ed, among other things, that it deemed it a shame that not even a tiny shaft marks the place, time or date of the historical event the running of the first locomotive in America at Honesdale and suggested that action bo taken at once as to the erection of a suitable memorial. The Mayor was mentioned as being the proper person to appoint a committee to act upon location, etc. Torrey Park was suggested by The Citizen. LMayor Kuhbach was interviewed by a representative of The Citizen! and he stated that he would do all In his power to help in the matter. By the wise choice of the following committee we think he has made a good beginning and we will rest assured that the committee will properly at tend to its duties. The committee on the "Stourbridge Lion Horatio Allen" monument is composed of tho following Influential members- HOMER GREENE, attorney-at-law. S. T. HAM, President of the Business Men's association MISS CAROLINE PETERSEN, President of the Honesdale Improve ment society. F. W. KREITNR, President of the Greater Honesdale Board of Trade MARTIN CAUFIELD, President Borough Council. WILLIAM T. HEFT and L. BLUMENTHAL. We congratulate and thank Mayor Kuhbach for naming the above committee. Each member has been seen personally and has expressed a desire to help all he or she can. Mayor Kuhbach was heartily encouraged by a number of Honesdale people after the appearance of the editorial in The Citizen, many prom sing to help in the project, claiming that they would do all In their power to bring about Its realization. p w.mT J?',". 0g0. th Honesdal8 Improvement association was given Th .rlnn ,m 1,nBrntaIn' the t0p f wh,ch "Presented a IWs head!

Tho Citizen, of this town, editori ally, is pusnlng for a monument to be erected in Honesdale to tho Stour bridge Lion" and the man who ran it, Horatio Allen. The idea is a good one, and should be pushed to a Bucessful finish. In the mean time, don't forget the Wayne coun ty slogan, and If you haven't sent la yours, get busy and rush It right along.

I suggest that the money obtained for the hospital fund be turned over to the monument proposition. I work ed hard to help collect this money and as nothing has been done along this line, wltn prospects that noth ing will be, I most heartily suggest and sanction that it be applied to the proposed monument in Torrey Park. The money was obtained from the public and It will be Impos sible to refund It. Yours truly, EAST HONESDALE WORKER. Editor The Citizen: The future of Honesdale will be Just what we make It. If the mer chants and the glass manufacturers want Industry, trade and commercial success there is just one way to get it "stand together and pull." We must all get the "pull together hab it" and work in union and harmony if we expect to accomplish our plans. To those who have been knocking the town the writer has a few sug gestions to offer. The citizen who is perpetually running down h-is town is hurting It and hurting himself also. Don't do It any longer. Try boosting. You will find it will be worth while. We want a bigger, 'better and Greater Honesdale and If we accomplish this end we must all work for the best Interests of our town. Have public spirit and civic pride at heart and if occasion demands It, whereby you may be of any real help in either direction, don't place a block in the wheel, hut respond cheerfully when a demand is made. If you are a resident of Honesdale and take pride in your town you un doubtedly will 'be asked within a few weeks to part with some of your material welfare to aid in support ing home industries; also, from a public-spirited standpoint, to help In the erection of a memorial in one of our parks. Honesdale, to be generally known, must be advertised. If the town erects a Joint monument, sacred to the memory of Horatio Allen, the first locomotive engineer, and to the "Stourbridge Lion," the first locomo tive to run In America, It will come. Into prominence and strangers com-' ing here will tell of the love and ad-1 miration It has for Its departed ones and of the Industrial advantages Honesdale enjoys. This is an age in ' which towns and cities must adver-. tlse and be advertised. It. Is' true the Greater Honesdale Board of' Trade has advertised Honesdale In descriptive literature, which has been spread to all points of the com-, pass; special articles have been pub-, llshed in the local press presenting , the advantages here and as a result I Honesdale has come In contact with the outside world. But still there is ; something lacking. What is it? you , may Inquire. It is the lack of interest on the part of the Individual. There have been several enterprises or proposi-j tions that have presented themselves! and after the first enthusiasm has j worn off they are dropped. This is ' demonstrated right now in the pro posed oiling of Main street. Prop erty owners who pledged their sup port have withdrawn their names or dropped down half in their pro portion. The boring for oil on the Krantz farm Is another illustration, to say nothing of our belated trolley system. , Now Is the time to act. Let's all get the "pull together habit" and work for the Interest of our beautiful and progressive town. Very truly yours, AN INTERESTED OBSERVER. RED .MEN NOTES.

Indigestion or any chronic stom ach trouble leads to loss of vigor and vitality; half the nervous wrecks in America today can blame indiges tion for their condition. Fermentation of food means that your stomach is run down; that your food does not digest and that the blood, not being supplied with nutritious elements, cannot supply the various organs of the body with sufficient nourishment.

The hustling little suburb of East Honesdale, although It does not sup port as many Industries as the Maple City, keeps many heads of families daily employed. The East Hones dale Improvement association looks after the place and has it kept in tidy condition, while the township supervisors are doing their best to keep the much-traveled roads In first-class .shape. The pretty little settlement on Thursday afternoon of last week was hidden from view for a few minutes by a streak of dust made 'by a Hawley car. Tho reporter could not ascertain the num'ber of the car ow ing to the thick dust and speed made. If the owner of the automo bile had struck a child he would have never known It. Why do auto owiiers defy the signs, "Go slow?" When they do see these signs they DR. FRANKLIN HAS RETURNED TO HONESDALE F&RA SHORT TIME ONLY To treat those who want their CORNS REMOVED. AT THE ALLEN HOUSE OFFICE L I vi Jl CELEBRATED LAGER BINGHAMTON, N. Y. On Draught and Bottled AT Mann s flestaurant open their machines and "go like sixty." Why not enforce the auto mobile speed ordinance in East Honesdale as well as In the county seat? Fred L. Glehrer, Jr., has accepted a position In the Erie office at this place, where ho Is receiving Instruc tion from Agent Maloney as to how to operate a railroad station, pre paratory to accepting a situation with this company in one of its sta tions. Thomas Moore, Prompton, shipped two carloads of excelsior to New York city, Thursday. For a small plant air. Moore Is doing consider able business. From tho amount of- freight handled at the Erie depot it appears that there was no shrinkage in the production of Honesdale Industries this year. During the month of May the receipts this year were $4,000 more than they were a year ago the corresponding month. The Wayne Milling company are baling their own hay. press Is located In the yard and several tons are turned out in a day. The large gasoline engine sta tioned In the road near the shic mill frightened Beveral teams on Thurs day. The largo dray horse of Fred Wenlger balked and as a result the harness and wagon was damaged. The Penwarden Manufacturing company Is running on full time. Twenty-one men are employed and the employees do not know what It Is to experience an Idle day. From one to two carloads of their product is shipped every week from the Erie station at this place. The Borden company at this place are getting their lines on the land along tho Erie track below their present plant. The company owns about three and a half acres on the flats east of the track. Plans have been adopted by Borden's company to erect a main "building 40x300 feet with a bottling room 40x100 feet. The latter will foe of white tile brick and will be one of the most modern creameries of the several stations owned by the company. Ex tending south of the bottling sec tion will be a large ice house 40x200 feet, with a capacity of 35,000 tons. A little distance north of the main building will be a storage 40x100 feet. All buildings outside of the creamery will be of wood. The buildings will cost in the neighbor hood of $30,000. John H. Penwarden has a fine and unique collection of chlnaware, which he has saved during the past several years. He decided to make his souvenirs cups and saucers and has over one hundred different kinds in the collection, no two being alike. They come from all parts of the United States and England. Mr. Penwarden Is very proud of his col lection and he has reason to be. He also has a number of picture frames which he made from native woods. They are very pretty and represent a vast amount of time and skilled labor. One of the drawbacks of the beau ty of East Honesdale is the unsight ly debris of the old brewery, located on Willow Ave. The Improvement association could make a bee and clean It up some Saturday afternoon. Ivy could trail over the ruins and cover It from sight. HOURS: I. to 9 P. .1 iUi BEER BIN
