No, You Couldn't Miss
Tho Watts Advertisement.
The advertisement of the Detroit-
er automobile that G. Watts & Son
have In another part of today Citi
zen, Is worth reading by everybody
interested in tho subject of carriages
that travel without tho aid of horses.
Stars, Vets, Comers, Comebacks, and After you read the advertisement
you will surely want to see the car
Itself, and that you can easily do by
calling at the Watts garage.

Hurrah! Hurrah! Summer
lA'Y the time never come when
the sound of the woodman's
axe or cross-cut saw will
be heard In the removal of
tho beautiful pine grove
that adorns the southern boundary of
the borough of Hawley. That grove
Is one of the most priceless posses
sions of the town. Instead of allow
ing any of the trees to be removed,
extra effort should be put forth to see
that they are protected and kept
from disease. That grove of pine
trees does infinitely more than adorn
the village, for It is a source of
health. It could be removed in a
few days by workmen, but it could
not be replaced In generations.
When Southern Pines was started in
North Carolina In 1884, one of the
wise provisions was that no pine tree
was to be cut, unless absolutely
necessary. Long, long ago tho wis
dom of this action has been dem
onstrated over and over again.
What the writer hereof Is saying
about pine trees ho says also about
the hemlock. Save every hemlock
tree possible, not only in Hawley, but
In every part of Wayne County.
Many farmers are awake to the im
portance of the hemlock tree as a
source of health and wealth, and sev
eral beautiful little parks of those
trees are becoming noticeable in this
part of Old Wayne especially no
ticeable may be mentioned a park on
tho southern end of Cajaw pond, and
one or two along tho Middle Creek
between Hawley and Hoadleys. In
writing on this subject previously the
following was perpetrated on inno
cent Wayne county readors:
Cut not the hemlock tree
Protect each drooping bough;
Twill holp you build your chickory
Some forty years from now.
Again let me say to Hawley peo
ple: Under no circumstances allow
vour Dine trees to be sacrificed.
When the town begins to grow, as it
shortly will, there will be a tempta
tion to make room for dwellings on
the southern hillside, and that will
mean tho removal of thq beautiful
nines. When that time comes, do
not yield to temptation, but save the
beautiful pines.

It Isn't Much Trouble ,
To Paint Somo Towns.
It is easier to paint In some towns
than it is in others, and, as good
brother Post, of Battle Creek, re
marks at tho bottom of all his litera
ture, "There is a reason." For in
stance, there is the case of somo
young men of Hawley, fine fellows,
too, who have a hankering to become
artists; and their favorite color is a
bright vermillion. When they begin
to swing their brushes in dead earn
est, officer Richardson just has busi
ness In some other part or town, or
goes to sleep, or does almost any
thing so that he won't make them
feel that they are being watched too
closely, for you see, Eddie was a boy
with them, they grew up together,
and he knows they are not at all vici
ous. Therefore, the painter's art for
them in Hawley, when they are prac
ticing at it, runs along as smoothly
as a verse of Homer Greene's famous
poem, "What-My Lover Said."
But unfortunately for tho boys,
Honesdale officers are not like Rich
ardson. They can't appreciate art.
Thev don't like red nalnt. Wow!
Wow!! It makes them mad all the
wav through lust to think red, to
Bay nothing of seeing the stuff, and
when our young friends from Haw
ley began to "brush in" tho red hue
on the Maple City's oxposed surface,
what did tho officers of the law do
but arrest them, and, "tho morning
after." they wero fined for their
trouble and pains. They are sure,
now, that Honesdale doesn't appro
clato art. Thus, what they for a
long time suspected has now become
a reality.

them were Joe Seller, John Mulligan.

seen sizing up the players, and It was Gf Hawley Odd- Fellowship.

Scranton team. After the game, this
scout was seen enticing George Brun-

There has been repeated calls for
a baso ball meeting in town for the
purposo of organizing a team, but so
far nothing has been started. If some
one doesn't start something, we win
lose our best material, as in the case
I just cited; so, fans, get busy.

Xcnrly One Hundred Ycnrs
Odd Fellowship was established
in Hawley 94 years ago when Wan
gum Lodge No. 448, was instituted.
Tho anniversary of that eyent was
celebrated on Sunday evening by a
goodly number of the members of
Wangum Lodge, and a fair represen
tation of Rose Rebekah Lodge,
marched to the M. E. church where
they listened to a special sermon by
Rev. D. S. MncKellar. A short pro
gram of fitting exercises was embod
ied In the regular church services. A
quartet composed of Katherlne Deck
er, Carrie Simons, Thomas Tuttlo
and Leland Simons sang, "When
Night Is Near," and Mae Klllam
rendered a vocal solo, "Hold Thou
My Hand." Tho services wero great
ly enjoyed by the congregation.

The Lntc Solomon Jones
Conducted "The Traveller's Homo."
Few people in Hawley will recall
the fact that tho late Solomon Jones,
who died at Ariel the early part of
this week, was atone time a resident
of this town, mat was away duck hi
1875 and '7G. Mr. Jones lived In a
little cottage on the "level" between
Nos. 18 and 19, and, becoming tired
of the monotony of country life, he
bought out John Chamberlain, a
tavern keeper of those days who was
famous for tho good things to eat he
set before his guests, and whose hos
telry was in the building: now occu
nled as a residence by William
Schardt. Mr. Jones called his public
house "Tho Traveller's Home." That
was In "the good old days" when
there were real taverns In the land.
In these days instead of calling his
nubile house "The Traveller's Home"
it would, nave ueen canea noiei

cessor to Mr. Chamberlain and we
never 'heard that the fame of the
dinners of "The Traveller's Home
wero anv less than those served by
mine host Chamberlain; but, after a
year or two of life in Hawley ho re
turned to Ariel where he remained
almost uninterruptedly, we believe,
up to the time of his death.

The Detrolter flashed to success
almost In a day one year ago.
The public has never before seen a
car embodying all the fundamentals
of highest priced motor car practice
at this price of $850. Here is an at
1 tractive, straight line automobile
with tho long stroke motor, multiple
disc clutch, full floating rear axle,
platform rear springs, left-hand
drive, and center control six best
features that ninety-nine out of a
hundred experienced motorists would
check off as those most to be desired
in any car at any price. But these
six features are not all. Every part
of tho mechanism follows those ideas
which experience has shown to be
the safest, the least wasteful of pow
er, and the most conducive to the
comfort of tho passengers such
Ideas as a unit power- plant with en
closed fly wheel mounted on a three
point support, a selective three
speed transmission, and ball bearings
throughout the car. Every defect
of the low-priced field Is corrected
in this high product of engineering
skill.

(Reported for Tho Citizen.)
The employees of tho Keystone
Glass Cutting shop were idle last
Thursday, and as the day was fairly
good, tho boys' thoughts turned to
base ball. Bill Rouse of tho second
floor picked out eight others, com
posed of comebacks and comers and
challenged Cubble Bea of the first
floor, who picked out his men com
posed of veterans and comers to play
fnr the rhnmnlonshln of the shop.
Each manager decided to pitch for
his respective side, and both did wen.
Rouse's team won by their superior
base running by tho score of 11 to S.
Murphy and Rouso starred for tho
second floor by their all around
work. Bea and Rowland starred for
the first floor by their heavy hitting.
Batteries for tho second floor were,
Rouse and Smith; first floor, Bea and
Rowland. The game was well played
and very interesting throughout.

of a stiff oast wind which caused tho

WATTS' GARAGE AT HAWLEV W HERE THE "DETROITEU" IS SOLI)
There's a Case of Typhoid
Pneumonia In Hawley.
William Roso. brother of G. W.
Rose, the grocer, is sick with typhoid
pneumonia at his residence at the
Eddy. His condition is very serl- feS
ous. He is a young man, recently
married. He was sick for some time
before being confined to his bed.
Where he contracted typhoid Is not
known.
THE LONG STROKE MOTOR-Com-pact,
simple and clean cut, the Detrolter
power plant Is remarkably efficient.
It Is the four cylinder, four cycle, wUer
cooled type, with cylinders cast en bloc
to give a simplo, rigid construction free
from numerous pipes and Joints which so
often develop annoying leaks.
Inlet passages project from valve side
to opposite side of cylinders, passing be
tween cylinders 1 and 'I for that pair, and
between 3 and 4 for the second pair.
These passages are connected by a spec
ial Y-shaped Intake manifold to which Is
attached the carburetor. They do not
pass through the water Jackets, but be
neath them, heating the charge before It
enters the cylinders, leaving the water
Jackets with a free circulation, and nil

THE CYLINDERS The cylinder bore is
3, while the stroke is 4?i, making the
stroke 1 4-10 ratio with the bore. This la
an Ideal ratio, and assures maximum
power with minimum effort at low engine
speeds. The cylinders aro accurately
reamed to exact size 3,375.
BALANCED PISTONS-Tho pistons are
made of high grade, heat treated gray
Iron, thoroughly seasoned before finish

are i long, and aro fitted with three
eccentric compression rings, .all located
at the top, Just abovo the wrist pins.
The four pistons in each motor are care
fully balanced and weigh tho same to the
fraction of an ounce. This reduces vi
