WEDNESDAY,
TESTING
Mayor Kuhbach, accompanied by
ant Chief, Levi DeGroat, through the
made a test of the roads Monday afternoon In the latter s steamer.
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.

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.

. 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.

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

Editor The Citizen:
I note In your paper that you ask
for suggestions on "Stourbridge
Lion Horatio Allen" monument. 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.

tress. Indigestion or any chronic stom
ach trouble leads to loss of vigor
and vitality; half the nervous wrecks
in America today can blame indiges

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.
That's why indigestion often
causes eye weakness, brain fag, pal

EAST HONESDALE., Pn., Juno 27.
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

made. If the owner of the automo
bile had struck a child he would
have never known It. Why do auto

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
