FRIDAY, MAY 30, 1013.
Now, Mr. Ilonesdnlo Merchant,
Your Attention, Tlcnse!
Some newspapers talk to some
of the people all of the time,
and to nearly all of the people
some of the time. Do you
realize that for the past threo
weeks The Citizen has been
talking to ALL of tho people
of Honesdale, ALL of the peo
ple of Hawley, ALL of the peo
ple of Seelyville, ALL of tho
people of White Mills, as -well
as to tho people of the outly
ing parts of Greater Hones
dale? One week more of
this splendid service remains
If you have a message you
want to put into ALL the
homes of tho places named
above, don't dream, but get
"on the job" right away. Our
rate, where we have no time
contract, is 25 cents an inch
each insertion. Where can
you hire somebody to talk for
you as cheap as that?
THOUGHT FOR TO-DAY.
Among the quieter satisfactions of
life must be ranked, in a high place,
the peace of a man who has made
up his mind. Anthony Hope Hawkins.
BRLVG FLOWERS TO THE VET
ERANS. Owing to the frosts and late
spring the veterans request school
children to contribute all the flowers
possible for tho decoration of sold
iers' graves. All donations will be
thankfully received by the veterans
of Captain James Ham Post and
other posts in the county.
This peace and disarmament busi
ness is perfectly simple. All that is
required is to persuade the German
Emperor to reduce his armaments
to get him to ask other rulers to do
the same. The credit for this origi
nal idea belongs to Andrew Carnegie
who intends to suggest the plan to
the War Lord when he sees him In
Berlin. We wish the optimistic An
drew all the success that tho intelli
gence of his scheme deserves.
ottli SPtiCLlL MEMORIAL
NUMBER.
Tho Citizen Invites its readers' at
tention to this issue of tho paper.
It is almost exclusively devoted to
Memorial Day matter. There are
special stories from the pens of tho
best writers, together with consider
able other valuable reading. This
paper Is a continuation of Tuesday's
Citizen, which also contained a full
page of Memorial matter. These
numbers are worthy of saving. Place
them with your collection of other
treasures.
MEMORIAL DAY.
The surviving brave boys in blue
Will visit the graves of their heroes
on Friday of this week to pay hom
age to their departed. This National
holiday Is being attended by fewer
veterans as the years pass into eter
nity. Tho faces of the heroes well
known a few years ago and promi
nent In our midst are dropping out
of our midst one by one to answer
the call of the bugle sounded by the
Great Commander. Although the
ranks are becoming thinner, the
deeds and actions performed by tho
grand old men who laid down their
lives for their country's sake llvo af
ter them. Captain James Ham
Post, G. A, R., of Honesdale, deeply
regret tho absence of Lieutenant
Henry Wilson, this being tho first
Memorial Day that his presence has
not been with the boys of the local
camp.
President Wilson has now taken
a firm stand against the lobby main
tained against his pet tariff measure.
The leaders in the fight against tho
Underwood bill expected a fight but
were unprepared for the forceful
way in which President Wilson
charged that the lobby was main
tained to "create an artificial opin
ion and to overcome the interests of
the public for their private profit."
The President's charges are exag
gerated and unfortunate for busi
ness men and others who have come
to Washington to make an honest
effort to ward off what they regard
as a misfortune. The President him
self acknowledged that he did not
refer to the operations of a lobby in
a corrupt sense except in so far as
tho facts were being misrepresented
to the public and a false impression
created.
It is undoubtedly the men who
are working for a duty on sugar In
place of the ultimate free list pro
vision, that the President meant
when lie made the" unfair charge.
at tho homo of Mr. and Mrs. Wal
lace Cramer. Mr. and Mrs. Bul
lock havo had a delightful trip and
enjoyed their soiourn exceedingly
but aro glad to roturn to dear old
Wayne.
Mrs. Ora Lee entertained a num
bcr of her friends in honor of her

mediate teacher. Cards wore play
ed, delicious edibles served and the
evening thoroughly enjoyed.
Harold Seeley celebrated his
fourth birthday on Thursday by giv
ing a party to about twenty of his
little friends. The usual good time

Miss Eliza Stanton Is very 111 with
pneumonia.
Dr. J. S. Newman is suffering with
an attack of Inflammatory rheuma
tism.
Dr. and Mrs. Charles Coursen nnd
daughter Pearl, of Rileyville, have
been visiting in town. They have
had a fine monument placed in the
Canaan cemetery recently to mark
the resting place of their son.
W. E. Rellly was in town last
week exhibiting some line specimens
of copper ore found in Wayne coun
ty, ile is an export miner and con
siderable interest is stirring in this
section over the possible develop
ment of a copper mine.
THIS
SUBSCRIBER COULDN'T
UNDERSTAND.
In renewing his subscription to
The Citizen the other day an out-of-tho
county subscriber enclosed with
his check the following:
" I am much pleased to note tho Im
provement In your paper and trust you
will continue to Improve, both In stand
ard of excellence and profits.
" I havo very pleasant recollections of
Bood old Wayno County and am always
proud to be known as one of her sons.
I don't mind saylne. however, that I did
blush for 'you all' upon reading tho elec
tion returns last November. I cannot yet
understand what Satanic Influence caus
ed so many good old Republicans to de
sert their standard bearer for tho purpose
of following a 'sore head,' and sincerely
trust they will recover their usual good
sense before 1916.
"Yours very truly,
Such actions aro a trifle hard to
understand, wo must confess. We
are inclined to think it is another
case of
"Little Bo-Peep who lost her sheep,
And didn't know where to find "cm,
Leave 'em alone, and they'll come
home," etc.
Well, they came home, didn't they?
It's a mighty good thing to have a
home to come to, isn't it?

WAIT FOR B RAMAN
OFF
AGAIN
Ho ! For Iowa !
For the past two weeks Braman's
buyer has been purchasing horses
out on the prairie. farms of Iowa, and
Braman is now on his way to look
over the bunch, investigate the mer
its of each horse, pay over tho mon
ey, load tho horses on the cars and
send them rolling on their way East
for Wayno county.
Wait
Wait !
For
it!
It makes no difference how badly
you may want a horse, it will be dol
lars in your pocket to wait until
Braman's new lot of
owa Horses
havo kicked up tho Wayne county
dust on his return. You won't have
to wait very long, and you can't
make money any faster than by pa
tiently "holding your horses" until
that new stock arrives.
Can t Stop
5
m!
There never was so many horses
sold In Wayne county in so short a
time as Braman has been selling this
spring. Wayno county people buy
of Braman because they have confi
dence in him. They know that they
can depend on what he says about a
horse every time. You couldn't stop
'em from going to the Allen House
stables after horses because they
have confidence that In quality of
anlmal, price and everything else
they are going to get a square deal.
Iowa Horses Gost More
than ordinary horses because they
are WORTH MORE. When you
buy an Iowa horse you get tho best
thero is.
BRAMAN Must Hurry !
Braman knows ho must mako a
quick trip, becauso thero aro cus
tomers waiting for him and ho MUST
come back SOON! gWHavo you
considered Braman's fine stock of
Harness ?
You will find it right in tho Allen
House stables. Why not look it over
and pick out what you want while
waiting for tho now stock of Iowa
Farm Horses to arrive? That would
bo a dandy scheme, now wouldn't it?
