WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 20, 1011.
OF INTEREST TO SUMMER HOARDERS.
Wayne county Is the Ideal summer boarding mecca. By a little work
on the part of tho land owners railroads doing the advertising Wayne
county could become one of the most sought-after and picturesque sec
tions of country found anywhere around.
It Is especially adapted to tho summer boarding business. The many
natural, made-lakes and ponds, there being over a hundred In Wayne coun
ty, fringed with stately pine, hemlock and other trees reflect a beauty
that cannot be surpassed In foreign lands.
The Erie, Delaware and Hudson and Ontario and Western railroads are
doing much to develop this line of new trade and are sending Its respective
representatives Into the county to acquire advertising from the different
farmers and hotels In tho towns and hamlets through which and near
whore their Toads run.
W. O. Rock, Erie division passenger agent, of New York City, was at
the Allen House last week receiving notices of summer boarding-house
keepers for tho 1912 summer book. The book will be larger than ever
next year and all proprietors of boarding houses who did not see Mr.
Rock should leave their notices containing their rates and other data with
Erie Agent 'D. H. Malloney, Honesdale, Pa., as early as possible as tho
book goes to press the latter part of this year. Tho book is widely dis
tributed and gives valuable advertising to tho proprietors of summer
places along he lino of the Erie without cost. Be prompt in sending your
notices.
NO SUBSTITUTE FOR GOOD ADVERTISING.
An Important channel for securing new business and purchasers of
merchandise is through advertising. The call to-day Is for a diversity of
mediums, in which the newspaper plays the most important part. This
Is a positive and creative force. A positive force because It appeals direct
ly and a creative force by reason of developing a desire to acquire. It Is
important for the merchant to use tho columns of The Citizen to publicly
advertise his wares for sale. He must be represented in the press. There
is no substitute for good advertising. It does Its work faithfully and well.
It Is the sinew and muscle of the active man.
The first essential of a good advertisement Is to develop a latent
thought and arouse the, Interest of the reader to such an extent that he or
she will call or send for particulars concerning the line of goods 'you are
offering for sale.
Copy has been called tho soul of advertising. Tho result depends up
on what you say, and how you say it. Embody in your advertisement tho
attractive features that are likely to appeal quickly to the hasty reader.
Good copy should bo made up of short and concise sentences, without ex
aggeration or overstatements.
When canvassing for advertisements from local merchants we have of
ten been told that " my business is established. I 'do not have to adver
tise," and "there is no need of me advertising, I've got the people coming
my way." "Advertising is alright, but I don't get any returns," and many
more as absurd statements. We aro glad, however, that we have con
verted some. You cannot stop advertising if you desire to advance your
business interests. 'Advertise in tho lean as woll as tho years of greatest
activity. In commercial life It is the man who has tho ability to dispose
of tho output, who controls the situation in most Industries,
i-. GIVE THANKS.
Thursday next is Thanksgiving Day. It Is hoped that tho majority of
people will attend the accustomed services In the different churches of the
land on that day, when they will thank God for the many blessings they
have received during the past year.
As a nation wo have much to bo thankful for. The United States Is
at peaco with its sister countries and Is looked upon as tho Christian na
tion. But are we, as a nation, setting an example true to our name? Are
we not forgetting God in the greed for gold and neglecting our duties to
the church? If this were not so, why then does President Taft and Gov
ernor Toner in their respective Thanksgiving proclamations, urge the peo
ple of tills vast country and State to attend to Dlvlno service in the morn
ing? As a State wo have exceptional cause for giving thanks. Tho crops
have been exceedingly good, tho farmers are prosperous, nearly all owning
their homes, and trio treasury of the State is better than It has been In
many years. The people are also thankful for Its sociable Governor, John
K. Toner.
As a county tho good folk have been highly favored with bountiful
harvests and health. Prosperity reigns In Wayne county and Its 30,000
Inhabitants should be filled with thankfulness for tho manifold blessings
that havo been ours to receive during 1911, which is now fast drawing to
a close.
As a town, tho citizens of iHonesdalo ought to manifest their sincere
gratefulness by being In attendance at the services In the local churches
Thursday morning. Some Individuals may think that they havo had no
reason to be thankful for what tho year has brought to them. Perhaps
death has entered their homo or sickness has kept somo member of their
family from enjoying the pleasures of life. But perhaps, If we understood
all, we would .bo thankful when death entered our homo and removed some
loved ono to a bettor life. If the Pilgrim Fathers could give thanks for
the blessings that they received, how much moro wo, as individuals, should
glvo thanks.
Honesdalo nas many reasons for being thankful. Its banks are pros
perous and rank among thoso in Class A in tho State. A glance at tho dif
ferent bank statements Issued by our local Institutions will satisfy the most
skeptical. For their growth the stockholders have reason to bo thankful.
Honesdale's Industries have been humming continually during the year,
sending their finished product to all points of the compass, In almost every
foreign country and In the United States. The merchants of tho town havo
had a fair business year, notwithstanding ho apparently depression In
trade that was experienced during tho summer months throughout the
United States. For these and many more reasons -wo should glvo thanks.

DEMOCRATS TO START
FIGHT IX COURT SOON.
(Harrlsburg, Nov. 27. The'actlon
of Walter E. Rltter, who was elected
chairman of the Democratic State
Committee by one of tho factions at
the time of the annual meeting in
July, to secure a Judicial test of the
right of Georgo W. Guthrie, of Pitts
burgh, to act as state chairman, will
probably be started boforo the new
year. v
At the headquarters of the Rltter
committee it Is stated that papers
aro now being prepared to make tho
grounds for tho test, but tho officers
decline to stato In what county It
will be brought.
Officers at Mr. Guthrie's head.
quarters say that the Rltter people
have nothing on which to make a
fight and that they had a clear ma.
jority of the members of the State
Commlteee at the meeting which
elected Mr, Guthrie.
After a service of nearly seven
teen years with the Stato, Nathan E.
Hause, chief clerk in the Depart
ment of the Auditor General, has
tendered his resignation and will re
tire from that position on or about
tho first of December.
Mr. Hauso has entered Into a busi
ness partnership with former Deputy
Attorney General Frederic W. Fleltz,
whose law offices are on tho sixth
floor of the Tolegraph building, for
tho transaction of all kinds of busi
ness pertaining to corporations in
their relations with' tho State.
Mr. Hause came to Harrlsburg in
February, 1895, as messonger In the
Stato Library under the late Dr. Wil
liam H. Egle, and was made cata
loguer in the library under tho ad
ministration of Dr. George Edward
Reed. When E. B. Hardenborgh was
elected auditor general In 1901 he
selected Mr. Hause as his chief clerk.
Ho has served continually In that im
portant and difficult position during
the administrations of Auditor Gen
erals Snyder, Young and Slsson, and
nas tnus seen about ten and one-half
years of activo service In the busiest
department on the "Hill." He has
been one of the most active men and
hardest workers about the Capitol.
That few (ofllce holders) die and
none resign" is disproved in tho case
of Mr. Hauso. For more than a
year, In fact since B, K. Young re
tired from tho position of auditor
general, he has seriously been con
sidering tho advisability of making
tnis cnange ana from several flatter
ing offers ho chose tho association
with 'Mr. Fleltz, giving up a lucra
tive position in order to devote his
entire time and attention to corpora
tion Business, particularly the settle
ment of State taxes.
Mr. 'HaiiRn n Irnnwn Wnn tho
confines of tho State as an expert in
State tax matters and .has represent
ed Pennsylvania at several national
tax conferences. In the development
of tho State's system he has had a
notable share.
Both gentlemen are woll known In
the business and social life of our
city. Mr. Fleltz served as deputy
attorney general for ten years and
nau charge of the trial of the nu
merous tax case3 referred to his de
partment. He has had a law office
