SCHOOIj DISPIjAY WORK OP ART.
The display of school work 1n tho shoe store window of T. A. Llght
hizer has been greatly admired and commented upon during the past few
days. To the average person It is a great curiosity. Many people, un
til tho display was made, were unaware as to what Is accomplished in
the school room. The work is an excellent demonstration of art. The
various specimens displayed show much artistic ability, which if cultivated,
may win fame and fortune for some of the talented pupils.
The demonstration Is the first of Its kind to be made in Honesdale,
but we hope It will not bo the last. To Professor Oday, teachers of the
different grades and parents of the pupils we would say you might well be
proud of your children.
CHRISTMAS BUYING.
Now Is the time when the minds of all turn to the question of buying
Christmas presents. One of the most important matters in this connection
is where to buy. The logical answer to this Is to patronize your home
merchant and thus extend the true Christmas spirit. The local merchant
Is the one that is constantly striving to .bettor local conditions and con
tributes largely to the prosperity of the community, and in return he should
receive the liberal support of his neighbors. To make your money go as
far as possible does not mean as far in distance.
Another thought comes to us in this line of Christmas buying and
tliat is to remember the poor, those who have no means to provide Christ
mas cheer for their loved ones. To such the Yuletlde Is a time of sorrow
and disappointment instead of happiness and good cheer. When you do
your Christmas buying think of some needy one whose heart will be made
glad by a slight remembrance. "It iB more blessed to give than to re
ceive." QUALITY PRINTING.

"NO OFF YEAB IN FRUIT."
Dr. J. H. Funk, of Boyertown, who Is recognized as the best authority
on apples In the State of Pennsylvania, stated at the Farmers' Institute
held in the Court House last Saturday that there is no off year in fruit
bearing. He said 1t was the farmer's fault If such were the case. "Re
production," said Dr. Funk, "is the law of Nature. A large crop takes all
tho vitality out of the tree and as a consequence next season the tree will
remain as a leaf tree. How may we avoid it? By thinning the fruit. If
I had to stop thinning peaches I would stop raising them," concluded Dr.
Funk on this particular subject.
The Wayne County Farmers' Institute, held under the auspices of the
Department of Agriculture of Pennsylvania, conducted three profitable
sessions in Honesdale. All meetings were largely attended and much en
thusiasm was manifested throughout. Credit for its success is due its
enterprising chairman, W. E. Perham, of Pleasant Mount, and local com
mittee, composed of John Male, W. H. Bullock, C. J. Smith, F. H. Thomp
son, E. W. Ross, George Erk, C. O. Blake and Frank Mang.
Outside of Dr. Funk the other Instructors were: Dr. M. E. Conrad,
of Westgrove; 'H. M. Anderson, Now Park and R. P. Kester of Grampian,
all of this State. The Instructors are deeply Interested in tho work and
we hope '.that much practical knowledge will be derived from their ad
dresses while holding institutes in Wayne county.
We have been informed that in all probability the Farmers' Institute
in Honesdale may ibe an annual occurrence. Wo hope that It might.
WILTj YOU BE A SANTA CIjAUS?
A short time since The Citizen called attention to those who are In more
unfortunate condltlon-than ourselves, with an end in view of helping them.
As yet no responses have been made. Truly we are forgetting our duty to
those in unfortunate circumstances. 'Perhaps the public does not care to
proceed In the course outlined by The Citizen. f
Let us look at it In a different light. How about a Santa Claus club?
Here is the idea:
From ministers of the gospel and others In a position to know tho act
ual facts The Citizen will secure the names and addresses of families
who are too poor and unable to provide themselves with anything In the
way of Christmas cheer. In these families there are many little children
who will be hungry and doubtful if there really Is a Santa Claus.
The Citizen will be able to tell how to find these little sad-hearted
children. That Is the whole story. The rest will be up to YOU.
Do you want to be a Santa Claus to just one of these families?
Do you want to be a Santa Claus to two or three or more of them?
If so, all you need do Is send us your name not for publication.
There Is to be no publicity.
You simply send us your name and advlso us how many families you
Will serve as Santa Claus one family will be sufficient; but if you feel that
you can carry, cheer and comfort to more than one family the fact will
be noted not In the paper, only In the Santa Claus club book.
AVo want your name to-day.
Send it hy letter or 'phone. The time Is short and you must make up
your mind what you want to do right away.
If you cannot act as a Santa Claus personally you may contribute
from your purse or from your stock. Some dealers may contribute can
dies, fruits, groceries, chicken and toys for children and elderly people
thus gladden tho hearts of many.
The merit of The Citizen's Santa Claus club is that there is not the
slightest publicity about it. You do the Santa Claus work yourself and
you know where and to whom your help goes. Or If you contribute from
your stores you make your own deliveries or know for whom your con
tributions are Intended. So join the club to-day, giving full particulars
of what you desire to do to help the unfortunate on Christmas day4
PEOPLE'S FORUM.
The Citizen Publishing Com
pany assumes no measure of re
sponsibility for any articles
which may appear in this column.
Would GH'o General Satisfaction.
Editor Citizen:
Having heard that Homer Greene,
Esq., of Honesdale, was likely to se
cure the appointment of attorney for
the Commissioners for the coming
three years, I wish to write to state
that this choice would give very
general satisfaction in our commun
ity. We all have a very high opin
ion of Mr. Green's ability, honesty,
and integrity.
If there Is to be -a change in the
counsel, as It seems only proper,
there should be, in order that the
different attorneys may share in this
plum. It Is surely only proper that
Mr. Greene should have the office. He
is thoroughly qualified and his long
service to the Republican party de
serves recognition.
Very ti-uly yours,
DAMASCUS REPUBLICAN.
An Unwritten Law.
Editor Citizen:
It is an unwritten law In politics,
and one that Is very generally ob
served, that when a person has hold
public office for two consecutive
terms, either by election or appoint
ment that he should give way for a
successor. The old board of County
Commissioners having served the
proverbial two terms will be suc
ceeded by a Board composed entire
ly of new members, on January 1,
1912. It is therefore presumable
that in accordance with the above
rule new selections will be made
when the Board of County Commis
sioners take up the matter of ap
pointment to positions under their
control.
I take pleasure in recommending
to the consideration of the incoming
Board the name of 'Homer Greene,
Esq., for appointment as counsel to
tho Board. Mr. Greene's appoint
ment would without doubt give gen
eral satisfaction to the citizens of
the county, and would be a grateful
acknowledgement by a vast major
ity of them, regardless of party af
filiation, that the Board Intended to
continue adherence to a business-like
administration in the interest of the
people. No person doubts the legal
attainment and strict Integrity of
Mr. Greene, and they must at the
same time recognize his courteous,
affable and honest manner In dealing
with all persons with whom he may
have 'business or social relations.
Very truly yours,
HONESDALE VOTER.
