WEDNESDAY,
THANKSGIVING.
Tomorrow tho Nation celebrates
another Thanksgiving Day and else
where in to-day's Citizen we pub
lish sufficient reasons why Hones
dale and Wayne county people
should bo grateful for material
blessings. Our mills are busier than
In many months nnd tho railroads
are Increasing their working force.
Heads of all kinds of industries look
brightly upon the future. They are
not optlmisitc by nature rather the
opposite in many cases.
So you, who have been struggling
along, perhaps under a heavy load;
you who have not had work aplenty,
should look ahead to happier days
and give thanks. At all events, the
year just closing has been better
from a business point of view, than
the year before and that, too, is
something for which to be thankful.
Let us put from us the gloomy fore
bodings with which we all too often
obscure an otherwlso unclouded
sky. let us look cheerfully and con
fidently toward tho future and try
to forget the past, for, as Thomas
Hardy once wrote:
We ought to feel deep thankful
ness that a happy Providence kept It
from being any worse."
INDEED A THANK1 TL PEOPLE.
Honesdale and Wayne county folks
havo much for which to be thank
ful. Thankful for good health, al
though the Death Angel has visited
some homes. Thankful for an
enormous crop of farm produce and
a market for them. Thankful that
-.ve are at peace with other nations
and countries and can worship in
our hurches without .being dis
turbed by the uncivilized. Thank
ful that the town and county are In
a prosperous and healthy financial
condition. Thankful that its indus
tries aro all humming and have been
the entire year. Thankful that no
epidemic broke out here and that
conditions in general are better
than in somo places. Thankful for
our homes, loved ones and to our
God, the great benefactor of man
kind. A CHARACTERISTIC REPLY.
A story is told of a young lawyer
who went to an old practitioner for
advice. The older man had a long
record of successes as a trial lawyer
and the younger one asked for the
Becret of his success.
" Bring out clearly to the jury
every point in your client's favor,,"
was the advice of the old lawyer.
" But," said the younger one,
" suppose there aro no points in his
favor?"
" Then paw tho ground and bel
low!" was the succinct reply.
Tho Independent, being unablo to
answer The Citizen's criticism of its
abuse of Wayne County Republi
cans, does the only other thing left
to It, It " paws the ground and bel
lows." Caught and cornered, and
without excuse for its conduct, It
contents Itself, as usual, by attack
ing Individually the gentlemen who
comprise the Citizen's board of di
rectors, and holding them up in the
guiso of undesirable citizens. These
gentlemen, whose names appear at
the head of this column and who
are well and most favorably known
throughout tho county and the State,
can well afford to Ignore tho Inde
pendent's malicious and futllo In
sinuations. Nor does that paper's abuse of
Tho Citizen and its editorial Btaff
arouse anything but contempt on
our part. Hut to circulate slander
ous statements about the six hund
red and fifty-nine citizens of Wayne
county who chose to exerclso a sound
Judgment by casting their ballots
for tho re-election of President
Taft Is a different proposition. If
tho Independent can give any reason
why It classes those gentlemen as
bosses, liars, thieves, grafters, and
holds them up to public scorn as tho
corrupt and debased amo'ng men,
then It should give those reasons
without delay. If It cannot givo
thoso reasons then it should pub
licly apologize to these six hundred
and fifty-nino Republican voters at
once. But wo do not look to boo it
do ono thing or tho other. It can
not do tbo first, and R la not fair
enough to do tho second.

"SHOP EARLY," IN KACT EARLI
ER THIS YEAR THAN EVER.
Less than five weoks until Chrlst
mas. It may seem almost Impossi
ble. Tho weather has been so mild
and pleasant that tho suggestion of
cold wintry weather, which is sy
nonymous with Christmas, has
hardly occurred. Christmas and
winter have seemed very far off, up
to this time.
But the calendar tells the story
There aro only four weeks left and
whatever preparations are to bo
made for the event, must bo made
In that time or there will be the
inevitable disappointment on tho big
holiday resulting from failure to do
that which one intended to do.
Henco comes the injunction to
"shop early." This slogan Is so use
ful to all parties concerned that it
is a wonder that it was not long
ago taken up and acted upon. Plans
made now and carried out, whether
it bo for gifts of homo manufac
ture or for the gift of tho shops,
will be all the better plans. Avoid
the last hour rush that kills and de
stroys the spirit of Christmas for
yourself. Christmas should be met
with calmness and the anticipation
of the pleasure that is coining to
others, not with tho feverish hurry
and worry to ho properly dressed
with something new and tasty to
fill the Christmas board with the
biggest feast of tho year, and to
get tho forgotten gift. Plan now,
shop early and he prepared for
Christmas with, a spirit that Is un
ruffled and able to appreciate the
soul of the great feast day.
This Is only the view from the
front side of the counter. "Shop
early" is a blessing to the shop-girl
and the storekeeper. Tho day used
to bo when the shops were open
nightly for months before the
Christmas season. Business drag
ged on in the days of the village
store idea. Now it has come to he
realized that shopping can be done
early just as well as late, necessitat
ing keeping the shops open but a
few evenings at most previous to
Christmas. This has saved the girls
in the stores, who previously were
subjected to the greatest nervous
strain by the Christmas shopping
season with its long hours and other
inconsiderate treatment of the shop
girls, removed now In the light of
better merchandising principles.
So in the Interest of the folks be
fore and behind tho counter, shop
early in this year. In fact, shop
earlier than ever, if you can at all
find it possible.
TO DEVELOP WAYNE COUNTY.
A twenty-three-acro farm at
Seolyvillo was sold on Saturday last
at a Master's sale and brought near
ly twenty-six hundred dollars. Some
claim that tho owner paid all it was
worth, while others state that Wayne
county farms aro sold too cheaply.
One reason being tho natural adap
tability of the land for successful
fruit culture. Its apples aro con
sidered to ho tho best ilavored and
most luscious fruit grown anywhere
In tho United States. This is not a
statement of our own, but ono
made by tho Agricultural depart
ment of tho United States. Why
then should farms be sold so cheap?
Because tho soli has not been given
a chance to demonstarto on a large
scale what can bo produced, should
it bo condemned? What is needed
is encouragement and further de
velopment of this Important and
growing Industry. Tho fact that W.
W. Baker raised 900 bushels of ap
ples from his model orchard at
Gravity Is ovldenco enough that
trees bear larger fruit and liner
quality by being sprayed and pruned
than trees planted and forgotten
tho rest of their bearing lives.
Tho soil of Wayno county Is es
pecially adapted to raising apples,
and apples wo must cultivate. Ex
tensivo articles reproduced In out-of-town
and county papers laud tho
apples grown In Wayno county as
bolng tho best to havo come Into
city markets.
Tho Greater Honesdalo Board of
Trade has a committco out In tho
Interest of crop development and Im
provement in Wayno county. Tho
commltteo haft Interviewed grang
ers, farmers. Mock breeders, mer
chants, bankers, millers, manufac
turers, grain buyers, county officers
and othors for a purposo of ascer
taining their vlows in tho matter.
Tho commltteo will report at a com
ing Board of Trado meeting what
lias been accomplished,
Tho farmers ought to cncmirago a
movement of this kind. It will not
only enhance tho value of their
farms nnd add dollars to others in
their pockets but It will have a
tendency to bring them to Hones
dalo. As a result bottor roads will
follow. Farmers, you havo acres of
diamonds upon your farms. Aro you
going to develop them or llvo as
most hnvo done In years gono by?
This is a progressive age. Surely
there aro somo progressive farmers
in Wayno county. Talk the matter
of crop Improvement over among
your neighbors and when the Board
of Trado reports, bo ready to offer
your assistance and give Wayne
county a name that will be known
all over tho United States.

A MOCK TRIAL THAT
IS ALMOST REAL.
Samuel Lonsteln of Lake Ariel re
cently purchased a chicken from
Calvin Samson of tho same town.
Scarcely had the fowl been paid for
when it mysteriously disappeared
from Mr. Lonstein's store. Soon
after the chanticleer was seen in
the kitchen Mr. Ellis Keyes, cag
ed in a Hat box, apparently awaiting
the time for his execution. But be
fore this tragedy could be brought
about, tho chicken again disappear
ed; and later the same evening was
seen In tho hall-way of tho Maple
Avenue Hotel. .It has since disap
peared entirely; and Mr. Lonsteln
has entered suit for the recovery of
his Thanksgiving dinner, against
Calvin Samson, from whom ho had
bought the expected dinner.
A hearing before the Justice of the
Peace Mr. Alva Keyes resulted in
the commitment of the defendant to
bail to appear before tho court
which convenes Friday evening, Nov.
29. in tho Methodist church. There
will he a BIG TIME. Court will be
conducted In regular form. Mr. M.
J. Emery and Mr. John Bigart are

THE BED CROSS SEAL.
The Red Cross Seal campaign has
begun. Tho Pennsylvania Society
for the Prevention of Tuberculosis
has completed its preliminary ar
rangements for tho state wide sale
of the Christmas stamps. The Seals
will he sold in practically every coun
ty in Pennsylvania and in every town
of importance in the State. Alto
gether between 3,000,000 and 3,500,
000 Seals will be distributed. The
design this year is considered to be
more artistic than that of last year.
A small red cross stands out each
corner of the stamp. Across tho top
appears tho words "Merry Christ
mas," and at the bottom "Happy
New Year." In the center of tho
stamp is a picture of Santa Claus
with "American Red Cross" above
and "1912" below. Sprigs of holly
complete tho decorative work on the
stamp.
The stamps as usual will sell for
One Cent each. The proceeds will go
for the prevention of tuberculosis.
In such cities where the salo of
stamps Is large, local committees
havo been formed. These committees
will supervise both tho soiling of
tho seals and the spending of tho
funds raised In their localities. Else
where the Pennsylvania Society will
take charge of this work. Persons
desiring to form local committees
should write to the Pennsylvania So
ciety at its headquarters, 1701
Chestnut street, Philadelphia.
Samuel M. Spry, who last year
covered a largo portion of the State
in the Interest of tho Red Cross Seal
sale, will represent tho Society this
year in this branch of its work. Ho
has left Philadelphia for Sunbury
where ho will begin his work. He
will interview all of tho loading
merchants In tho various towns
through which he passes, and will
urge upon them tho need of their
support in the campaign against
tuberculosis and tho good which
they can accomplish through placing
tho Red Cross Seal on salo. Mr.
Spry will also carry with him litera
ture giving tho principles underlying
tho prevention of tuborculosls. It is
expected that this year's salo will ho
more successful than any which have
been held before.
The salo will closo as usual on
Christinas Day, or whore there is" a
special enthusiasm on tho part of tho
local workers, It will ho continued
until January 1st. Tho tlmo set
nsldo by tho National Association 1
for tho Study and Proventlon of
Tuberculosis for tho opening of tho
salo Is Novomber 29. This will bo
observed by most of the branch so
cieties of tho Pennsylvania Society.
Such places where Mr. Spry shall
visit, howover, will bo permitted to
begin tho work as soon as they ro
celve tho Red Cross Seals.

INDEPENDENT DOES WHAT IT 1 WES THE CITIZEN OF DOING
Tho Independent accused Tho Citizen In Its last issue, Novcmbor 22,
of copying news Items from that Journal's columns. This Is something wo
omphatlcaily deny. Wo Invito tho Independent's attention for a moment.
Tho readors of Tho Citizen, and thoro aro thousands, woro enlightened up
on llvo or moro Interesting news Items in tho first 1ssuo of last week's
Citizen that did not appear until tho second issuo of tho Independent of tho
Rumo week, two days afterwards. Wo aro not bragging nor do wo point
to the matter with any great pride, hut Inasmuch as tho Independent, edi
torially, took us to task last Friday, wo now reproduco tho Horns which
appeared Hint In tho Citizen and woro deliberately copied by tho Independ
ent on Friday last as Is shown In tho context.
Tho first column represents the Items as they originally appeared in
Tho Citizen of November 20, whllo tho second column Is taken from tho
Wayno Independent of its Issuo of tho 22nd. Somo of tho locals, with tho
exception of reconstruction, appear almost identically as they did in Tho
Citizen. We do not approvo of newspaper wrangling and know that our
roadors do not care to read about differences of opinion, but wo feel Justi
fied In presenting tho following In that tho public may form tholr own
conclusions as to whom tho copy cats may be.
As to the Independent being Informed by a caller at its office that
Tho Citizen embellished its news columns with Items taken from that
Journal wo call tho Independent's attention to tho fact that thrco copies of
Tho Citizen aro loft semi-weekly at that Journal's office and it is unneces
sary for tho Independent to depend upon outsiders to enlighten that pa
per about news items which It wrongfully accuses this journal of doing.
Thoso items appeared exclusively The following camo out In tho ls
ln Tho Citizen on Wednesday, No- suo of Tho Independent as "up-to-vcinber
20th. the-minuto" news in that Journal's
columns two days later, under the

N. Y., upon entering the home
on Monday of Michael McCue, a
friend, In Damascus, who had
died on Sunday, dropped dead.
The walk to tho McCue homo
was quite steep and it is sup
posed to have fatigued Mr. Der

approached his friend's home.
He was accompanied to tho Mc

Michael McCue, Mr. Dermody's

ARBITRATORS' AWARD.
Attorney Robert E. Scragg,
of Scranton, representing the
Columbian Protective Associa
tion, of Binghamton, was in
Honesdalo Tuesday and filed an
appeal from tho arbitrators'
award in tho cases of Teresa
Gercty and Mrs. John Congdon
against said Insurance company
with Prothonotary W. J.
Barnes.
The cases will go to .trial in
the Wayno county court at the
coming January term.
Within a year tho Dela
ware and Hudson tonnage, in
and out of Honesdalo has in
creased 100 per cent. The busi
ness of tho town, independent
coal mines product and other
freight coming through Hones
dalo 'forced tho D. & II. to re
sumo two freight trains per
day. There is business enough
here to warrant two trains per
day.
WORKING ON SUNDAY.
Tho man who works on Sunday
will nevor again 'havo tho samo re
spect for tho day. Tho beginning of

a man who was raised In a Chris
tian homo was tho first tlmo he
worked on Sunday. Tho American
Industrial Sunday Js ovon worso
than tho Continental Sunday, which
It Inevitably creates, for oven
churchlcss Franco has legislated a
compulsory day of rest.
All tho blamo for tho alarming
increaso of seven-day work does not
rest on tho ownors and managers of
great Industries, who through care
lessness and greed work tholr em
ployes continuously. In ono of our
larger cities tho Barber's Union Tvas
Our local florist, Franklin
Walters, is making a great suc
cess hero In handling tho flow
er trade. He has in his hot
houses between three and four
thousand as flno chrysanthe
mums as we havo seen grown.
He says that Wayne county soil
seems to be specially adapted
to the cultivation of this beau
tiful perennial plant that pro
duces such largo heads of
showy flowers. Few can pass
his store window without stop
ping to admire the floral dis
play always kept on exhibition.
Michael McCue died at his
homo In Damascus, Sunday,
Nov. 17, 1912, aged 80 years.
He had been ill about two
months and Is survived by three
daughters and one son. John
Dermody of Cochecton, N. Y.,
upon learning of his intimato
friend's death, started for tho
McCuo home. The way led
him up a steep hill, the climb
of which greatly fatigued htm
and when ho reached tho place
ho expired.
A bill In equity between
Charles M. Betz and others and
the American Fraternal Asso
ciation has been filed with W.
J. Barnes, clerk of the courts.
The lengthy document was
signed by tho plaintiff's law

B. Stegnor and E. E. Williams.
Tho attorneys for tho defence
will lllo an answer within a
