WEDNESDAY, FEHRUARY I I, 11)111. A THOUGHT To rost content with results ach decay. Our most hearty congratulations aro extended to tho rector and mem bers of Grace Episcopal Parish In the commemoration of their eightieth Anniversary of the foundation of tho local church. May continued pros perity and blessings follow you, and may tho Honesdalo parish grow In membership and wisdom. Such is the desire of Tho Citizen. The American Sugar Refining Company in its answer to tho govern ment's suit against it replies saucily that it had nothing to do with tho cus toms frauds; that its employes alone aro to blame; that It would have actively discountenanced them had It known about them, and that It most emphatically Isn't a trust, anyway, and never was. About tho only hand profuso apologies and decorate the principal officers of tho corporation, como thing left for the government to do is to withdraw tho suit, tender Wo most earnestly exhort the public to attend tho Bergmann benefit to bo held this (Wednesday) evening at tho Roller rink. It Is too bad that the date conflicts with tho regular mid-week prayer meeting. However, make tho best of It and help Just a little. The attraction will bo a basket ball game between Houesdalo and the Rink team. Manager Cort right will give the entire proceeds to the Citizen's committee, recently appointed to hold all funds in trust for Mrs. G. J. Bergmann and children, whose husband and father lost his life In tho Red Stone Front fire a month ago to-day. Speaking of the committee appointed to hold in trust, receivo and dis tribute money for the Bergmann fund, brings to mind tho appointment of jilicitors to canvass and receive monies for this cause. Is the committee, which is composed of Burgess C. A. McCarty, Cashier H. Scott Salmon and Councilman John Erk, to appoint Its solicitors, or are the people to -give voluntary contributions to the committee? It is a matter that needs Im mediate attention. If solicitors are to be appointed it would be better, In our opinion, to sub-district the town and start In at once. Do not defer the matter any longer. The last Legislature made provision for an Inspection of sidewalks for erond-class cities. Honesdalo stands In rating with second-class cities in regard to the amount of business done In her postofllco and were It pos sible to "stand In" as an Inspector of uneven sidewalks in Honesdale, we ere certain that he would have a yearly job unless ho "fell down" In mak ing his rounds. The frost and trees aro responsible for a great deal of the unevenness of the sidewalks. Honesdale Is not tho only town so af fected. When possible have your tlagwalks repaired. It may avoid a damago suit for some party. Wayne county is in better shape financially than sho has foeen in sev eral years, having a balance of almost fifteen thousand dollars In the treasury. With this excellent amount on tho right sldo of the ledger we deslro to ask If the county is too poor to build tho proposed Court street foot bridge across the Lackawaxen river? One other question, " Is not Honesdalo rightly entitled to somo consideration, paying as she does five per cent, or about one-twentieth of the entire tax of Wayne county?" The proposed bridge has been approved nisi and absolutely by tho Court and It now rests with the county commissioners to build It. We would not be so urgent in the matter were It not that the county Is In a position to erect the bridge and that It is an absolute necessity. The leading churches of Chicago have decided upon a press or publicity agent, with tho purpose of advertising church services in tho newspapers. No organization or body has more free advertising in the newspapers than the church, usually in reading notices, but progressive church members, (business men in particular, believe that display advertising should be used, the same as tho theatre and other entertainment or amusement places ad vertise their programes. A St. Louis clergyman so advertised, a couplo of Saturdays ago, and tho next day tho audience had doubled over tho pre ceding Sunday, and last Sunday, following another big display advertise ment of an attractive program, the sacred edifice was crowded to the doors. If publicity will draw, why should clergy preach to so many empty benches? Why not preach the word to additional hundreds or thousands, with an instrument so handy and efficient as tho newspaper. It's worth Citing trial In every city and town. And right hero It may bo well to call attention to tho sincerity or lack of sincerity shown by the Democrats in tho House of Representatives Last summer during tho extra session this majority pretended great con corn over tho wool and woolen schedule. They pretended that It was their duty to rcviso this schedule in order that tho people might have cheaper garments and cheaper blankets and so they brought in the bill which finally reached the President and which was vetoed by him because the bill had not been drawn in accordance with any facts in tho possession of tho people as to whether It would bo dlstructivo or advantageous to American Industry. Tho Tariff Board have since brought In a most ex haustive report on this industry, giving us an array of figures that cannot bo questioned and a complication that has won tho pralso of oven the enemies of tho Tariff Board. It would now seem that tho Democratic ma jority which pretended such deep concern for tho consumers of woolen products should glvo us a bill revising Schedule K, but this has been laid entirely aside for tho Indefinite future and with tho statement that bills will follow the Steel bill relating to sugar, cotton and other products. It Is lamentablo that farmers living within trading distance of Hones dale aro compelled to go to Forest City and other places to obtain coal, as lias been the caFo during tho past week. It Is not only a loss of a few dollars left with tho coal agents at these towns, but when a farmer goes to got coal ho undoubtedly buys enough to fill his larder for a weok or ten days and as a consociuenco the local business man, merchant or flour and feed retailor aro also losers. True, It Is very unpleasant for coal dealers, hut on the other hand It is claimed that tho Business Men's Association Tocommonded tho purchase of an extra supply of dlfforont domestic lzes be made in tho fall, when it was easily obtainable rather than wait until Winter. At this tlmo of tho year many mines aro frozen, It Is alleged, and makes mining difficult. Tho demand being so great tho coal operators find that it is next thing to an impossibility to supply all tho orders and urgent demands for the commodity. A coal dealer Is expected to lay In an extra supply of coal In tho Fall llko tho merchant would goods, particularly in Honosdale, where thero is scarcely any limitations to tho spaco which may bo had for tho purpose of storing coal. This is not true In all towns, which renders Honesdalo all tho mora lnexcusablo for tho present scarcity of coal. W. W. WOO I FOR TO-DAY. loved Is tho first sign of business It. ti.

Tho Wayno County Farmer was In Honesdalo again Saturday to shako hands with nil thoso who read about him In last week's paper. Whllo In town I mot a lot of my farmer friends west or tho postofflco and told them about tho now breed of cattlo I ex pect to get from Florida. If I get them I will drivo tho herd through Wayno county and glvo ovcry reader of this papor a samplo of tho milk. Now don't tako mo too seriously, but anyway, theso cows aro wonders according to the directions that go with thorn. Each cow has a pedigree as long as a bed quilt and as wldo as a kitchen apron, but I don't llguro on the pedigree giving much milk so It's tho cow I'm after. I'll glvo my friends in Wayno county a littlo de scription of them and perhaps wo can order a car load together. In tho first placo theso cows aro what you call slanting milkers; they aro built just tho reverse of other cows. You know that tho hind legs of our cows are longer than tho front legs, mak ing them a littlo higher at tho tall ! end than at tho beginning. Well, it's different with thoso I'm going to get. This urccu has tho hind legs In front and the front legs behind, and has a head where others cows havo a tall i .. a mil wnero other cows havo a head; so you seo tho whole thing Is turned around. This makes a cow a little higher at tho front end than at the back end and allows tho milk to How down hill to tho reservoir with out any effort on the part of tho cow. This will make milking easy as roll ing off a sofa. You know that cows gonerauy close their eyes and snooze when you milk them and forgot all about their business of pushing the milk along, thus making you pull so much harder to make up for the cow's neglect to push. Well, with these now cows that aro built on the slope tho milk runs down hill by the natural force of gravity brought about by this re-arrangement of the running gear, and any child can do tho milking no matter whether tho cow is awake or whether she Is dreaming of Xmas or tho Fourth of July. Tne feature of having the head on the tail end and the tall on tho head end is this: In summer when the files are as thick as the wool on Rastus' head they will always light on tho tail end where the cow can't get at them with any advantage, but if the head of the cow Is where the tall used to be tho cow can snap the flies' heads off before they realize the change, and thus the fly population will be cut down considerably. And another thing: These cows have a tall with a loop In It like the average hog. When you go to milk all you havo to do is to hook this loop over a fence picket, etc., and milk in peace. But tho banner feature about these cows Is tho quality of milk they give; one bucketful of this milk will go as far as a wash-tub of ordinary milk, and, frankly speaking. It Isn't milk at all, but soft butter that they glvo. Aftor you get done milking, stand tho dope in a cool place or put It In an Ice box and you. have hard butter that needs only salt to complete it. When you want milk you have to put this butter in a butter churn and pound just the other way from what you now do and you will get cream, I mean that Instead of pounding up and down you pound clown and up. After you have churned the butter Into cream, stand the cream In a crock and next morning skim off the milk. I like this feature alright, but I believe in Wayne county wo would experience somo trouble In winter when it's cold. Before wo could be gin to drain this new milk or soft butter wo would have to build a fire under each cow and warm her up. This fire business under the cows would not meet with tho approval of tho Insurance companies and I don't think It would meet with tho ap proval of tho cows. Cows aro a llt tln touchv on the smith side. and the fireman would bo In danger of getting his head kicked orf. If I get tho cows I will got Lena to make a good warm mustnrd plaster for them and sive tlo fire for bis cuits. Watch Tho Citizen for furth- i er particulars.

DANDRUFF AND ITCHING SCALP YIELD TO ZEMO TREATMENT. Why should you contlnuo to ex periment with salves, greasy lotions and fancy hair dressings trying to rid your scalp of germ life.
