EVERYONE INTERESTED.
There Is not a man, woman or
child who Is not interested in Hones
dale their home town. Interested
to a degre.0 that they are proud their
iot is cast in such a pleasant and
progressive place. Honesdale Is one
of the oldest towns In this section
of the State and it has a history
that many towns envy, being the
place where the first locomotive to
turn a wheel on the Western hemis
phere occurred. Honesdale was for
many years the largest coal storage
market In tho world, although not a
mining town. It was in Honesdale
that the first Village Improvement
association was organized, and to
day there are thousands like organ
izations throughout the United
States.
Industrially Honesdale ranks high
in the, production of rich cut glass,
electric elevators, knit, woolen, and
muslin goods, shoes, and other neces
sities of life. Although It Is fore
most as a manufacturing center it
lacks one thing, and that is a slo
gan. Every town of importance,! es
pecially if any1 progress is manifested
along an' Industrial line, has a slo
gan, can you guess a suitable slo
gan for Honesdale?
The Greater Honesdale Board of
Trade has offered a prize of $5 for
an appropriate slogan for Hones.
dale. The contest is open to any
body, anywhere, anytime before
November 10 at 12, noon. The elo
gan is limited to ten words. Ad
dress communications containing slo
gans with your name, the latter,
however, will not bo published, to
secretary ureater Honesdale Board
of Trade, 'Honesdale, Pa.
Here are a few slogans that have
been received, since the announce
ment made last week:
"Honesdale Always Humming."
"Honest value goods made here."
"Honesdale Is the Growing city of
Northeastern Pennsylvania."
"In memory of Irvlng's lofty peak,
And the Stourbridge Lion's roaring:
With visions of Hudson's mighty
fleet. v
To a Greater Honesdale is grow
ing." f
"Let Honesdale Do. It."
"Honesdale Can Do It."
"Honesdale Booming and Grow
ing." "Honesdale, the White Man's
Hope."
"Honesdale Will Get There Yet."
"The town that delivers the goods
Honesdale."
"If your're "In wrong," "get
right" to Honesdale."
"Since you christened me,
Mr. Hone;
See- how 'industrious
I have grown."
"Make moro room on .the map
for Honesdale."
"We shoot you the breeches
bouy, Mr. Manufacturer, If you aro
sinking in some dead' sea."
"A safe harbor in a financial
gale."
"985 feet above the business
level."
"Perpetual motion" Honesdale
factories."
"Honosdale signifies prosperity
Prosperity means 'business."

MODEL ORCHARD PRODUCES DIG
ERUIT.
W.( W. Baker's' model orchard lo
cated at Gravity lo're an 'unusually
large crop of apples this fall.. The
orchard was under the supervision
of W. H. Bullock,, who is ixi tho em
ploy of the State Horticultural de
partment. It was sprayed.' three
times during thoseason .apd al
though small the- orchard produced
400 bushels of large apples..
Ono of the appes,, a Spy,, weighed
14 ounces and . measured 13 In
ches In circumference. A King ap
ple measured Jnches 'around
and tipped the scales at 15 ounces.
There were larger1 apples than the
above mentioned jSjpecImens, but Mr.
Haker did not nave them at his home
where ho measured' 'these.
The orchard has h, north exposure.
There were- very fow quarly or
wormy apples, which 'is. attributed to
orten spraying, ope, thing notice
able abodt the apple- ' crop is the
large number of btih'els, raised, be
ing larger than .fq'rmef- years, not
withstanding the exceedingly poor
crop In Wayne cbutity'
Mr, Baker says, the trouble with
the average farm6r( of 'to-day is that
he wants to raise apples and grass
on the same piece''Of ground. He
cannot successfully do both. Ho
must either ralsdmpples or grass, but
not both. 1 1 1
The chief varieties raised in the
model orchard ar& Kings Baldwins,
