FRIDAY,
PAVE WILL BENEFIT EVERY
BODY. The statement that taxpayers liv
ing on the back streets would receive
no benefit from the pave on Main
street Is untrue. There Is not a citi
zen In the borough of Honesdale but
what will be benefitted directly or In
directly providing Main street should
be paved. It Is true that the abut
ting property owner on Main street
would receive the immediate and
direct beneflt of the improvement,
while the property owner living on
other streets would be indirectly
benefitted because Main street must
necessarily be the first street to be
paved. Honesdale will never get pave
on its back streets" until Main street
is paved. The paving of Main street
will result in driving the wedge
which will result in the ultimate
paving of other streets in Honesdale.
Until Main street Is paved, the pav
ing of other streets cannot be hop
ed for at any other time. It there
fore behooves the taxpayers and all
voters in the borough to turn out In
full force at the special election to
be held at the regular place of vot
ing on FRIDAY, JULY 11, to vote
lor brick pave.
Honesdale will never experience
as easy a time, as to the cost of pav
ing, as now. With the $17,500,
which Is available from the State
Highway department, and the pro
portion of the Wayne Railway com
pany it is doubtful if ever an oppor
tunity will present itself in so glit
tering and attractive an aspect as is
now placed before the intelligent
and conservative citizens of the bor
ough of Honesdale.
The fact that the borough pays
out annually large sums of the tax
payers' money for crushed stone, i
which' at its best is only worth one
season's wear, is evidence weighty
enough to convince the most skeptic
and doubting Thomas, that there
must be something wrong some
where. We do not by any means
wish to convey the idea that the
members of the borough council
have not done their duty to give us
the best street they could with what
means and authority they have to do
the work; that is not the point.
A carpenter with poor and dull tools
can never execute good work, just so
with the council. They have mud to
begin with, mud to try to make
good roads and at last analysis mud
Is all that is left. The situation
would be different if Honesdale had
paved streets. They would be in
first-class condition from the day
they were built. Vote for brick and
save the town money.
CURRENCY LEGISLATION.
The Congressional Banking and
Currency committees have prepared
a currency bill that will probably
find favor with most of the national
and state banks of the country. It
gives to the banks advantages while
It preserves to the people acting
through the government all that is
essential for the protection ot- tho
public. Tho notes are to be treas
ury notes issued by tho government
and loaned to tho regulation reserve
banks. There is no surrender of the
government's right to Issue money.
Tho board of control Is issued by
the President. Thus, the people act
ing through tho government, are in
entire control. Tho regional re
serve banks are to represent not only
the national banks of tho district,
but such State banks as are willing
to put themselves upon 'a footing
which will be equitable to tho nation
al banks.
" The business interests, I think,"
said Secretary Bryan, " welcome the
bill as an unalloyed blessing. It
gives them a promise of relief in
any time of stringency and it gives
this nromlse without putting In the
hands of the banks a pouir that
might be used against tho public.
nONEST ADVERTISING.
At the advertising men's conven
tion in Baltimore, a set of rules was
presented by the conference commit
tee and were acted upon favorably
by the convention, requiring both
advertising writers and newspapers
to exercise the strictest care to ellml
nate from all advertising matter any
thing of a fradulent or untruthful
nature.
This Is tho way to attack the
"fake" advertising evil and no

reputable publisher will dispute the
fact that it Is an evil. In some
States, Including Pennsylvania, ef
forts have been made to correct the
trouble by law, but anything so iron
clad as a statute applied to the en
thusiasm of salesmanship is likely
to make the Just suffer with the un
just. We bellved, and we still believe,
that the dishonesty which has long
been the bane of advertising, is cor
recting itself through the greater re
sponsibilities that are falling upon
advertisers every day.
Half a century ago, the art and
business of advertising were little
understood and lightly esteemed. An
"ad" was a casual trick to catch the
unwary. Nowadays, It is a perma
nent and necessary aid to business
and the merchant who deliberately
pollutes the source of his patronage
realizes that he must pay for it with
his trade.
Better men and higher ideals are
coming Into the advertising field
every day and these, together with
the increasing volume of money in
volved, are bound to attain results
which no law could accomplish.
BARBERS TO RAISE PRICES.
After July 1st the price of a hair
cut at any of the barber shops in
Honesdale will go up! The startling
announcement has been made by the
barbers that twenty cents was not
enough for a hair cut so they got to
gether and raised tho price to twenty-five
cents. This arrangement
will go into effect on the first day of
July. We will not put ourselves on
record as asserting that the " high
cost of living,'" which has been the
national topic for the last few
years, has had any thing to do with
this move on the part of tho bar
bers, but we think that In making
the additional charge they are not
asking too much. There are very
few cities and small towns in tho
country where the rate was as low
as has been the rate for all kinds
of work in Honesdale for many
years.
WHERE ARE WAYNE COUNTY'S
ROADS?
In reviewing the list of new State
Roads recently approved by the Sen
ate we failed to find any mention of
Wayne County's new proposed State
roads. The new bill, which does
not become effective until the pro
posed $50,000,000 loan shall be ap
proved, includes forty-six additional
routes. The Senate favors all of
these new State roads. Several pro
posed roads aro mentioned In the
bill, but why not Wayne county'
There might have been some excuse
for this two years ago, when our
representative was first sent to
Harrisburg, but an texplanation is
now expected from him by his
Wayno county constituents giving
reasons why Wayne county did not
receive her proportion of tho pro
posed new roads. Tho road passing
through his homo township, going
from Honesdale to Narrowsburg,
was not secured. Why not Mr,
Jackson?

THEODORE DAY'S
PORCUPINE EXPERIENCE
HEODORE DAY came into
our office the other morn
ing after an absence of
several weeks. He has
been enjoying a vacation
mm
down in Columbia, Sullivan and Lu
zerne counties, visiting friends and
having a good time generally. He
used to catch more trout when down
that way, but this year he caught
a few, and looked over tho places
where he used to take them by the
score. However, he had some ex
periences while absent that are
worth talking about, especially to
be mentioned is what he calls his
I'orcuplno Dny.
One day he started from Central,
in Columbia county, -which is the en
trance to the North Mountain, and
began climbing out of Columbia to
wards Sullivan county. He was ac
companied by a native school boy.
They passed Jamison City, which'
used to be the metropolis of a tan
nery and saw mill. It contained
about 70 houses, practically all of
which are now abandoned, although
the tannery Is still running.
They pursued their way along a
rough mountain road that ever
wound upward, finally reaching New
Philadelphia, but the end of
the,'
road was not yet. New Philadelphia
sounds fine. It may have a place on
the local maps. Mr. Day says It con
sists of a big name and only one
house, right there alone in the
mountains..
A Pet AVild Goose.
At that new "city of brotherly
love" Mr. Day and his young com
panion found' some boys playing with
a live wild goose which had been
caught by a 11 year old boy. The
lad caught the goose in the moun
tain, running it down, Mr. Day
thinks, in the brush. To show what
mettle that boy is made of It is but
necessary to say that ho is accredit
ed with having climbed a tall apple
tree out of which he clubbed a big
porcupine.
Upward they still climbed, like
the famous youth with the one-word
ed banner that Longfellow tells
about so beautifully, until they
found themselves along the banks of
the famous Fishing Creek, a trout
stream of Columbia county that has
more than a name, It has a history.
Fishing Creek!
The very name brings up memo
ries of the Civil War when conscripts
In Columbia county banded together
to resist the provost marshalls. Mr.
Day says that on a former visit he'
saw Fort Rock, one of the drafted
men's strongholds, and saw the bul
let marks that were mute evidences
of an engagement that took place
between the draft resisters and tho
Federal soldiers who were trying to
round them up. But -that is anoth
er story that must have more atten
tion later on.
Porcupine Number 1.
While passing upward they came
to a spring of deliciously cold and
pure water that sprang gladly from
the base of a ledge of rocks and
went sparkling in the sunshine,
blithely singing and murmuring on
its way to join the tumbling waters
or Fishing Creek. Right there in
the road suddenly appeared a half-
grown porcupine, with quills set and
all ready for battle. Mr. Day's boy
comraae was quicker In thought and
action than he was, and picking up a
stone, as the "fretful porcupine
mounted a log, ho threw it with such
accuracy that the hedge-hog was
knocked from his perch and he fell
over tne precipice that had an al
most 'perpendicular drop of nearly
a hundred feet to tho rocky ledge
over wnicn tumbled Lewis's Falls
which have a drop of about CO feet
But the porcupine did not fall the
hundred feet. It easily caught on a
projecting clump of bushes as it
shot down, and speedily found Its
den in the side of the rockv ledtre
and disappeared from view where it
couiu spend the remainder of tho
day getting over Its headache.
Lewis's Falls were named aftor a
lumberman by the name of Lewis,
He cut the hemlock timoer and
floated it down the creek. A lam
of logs occurred at tho falls, and in
some way L,ewis fell over the preci
pice ana was killed. That Is how
the falls came to bear his name
I'orcuplno Number 2.
On up the road went the Wavnn
county naturalist and his bov enm.
raao, ana to their astonishment they
suuuenjy camo upon the body of a
large, full-grown porcupine lying
lifeless in the roadway. Dr. Day
observed that this was no proper
place to leave a dead porcupine.

Excellent Music Rendered nt Grnco
Church Lnst Sunday.
The adult choir at tho morning
and tho young people's choir at the
confirmation services in tho evening
on Sunday last at Grace Episcopal
church, under the able leadership of
Miss Mabel Broad, organist and
chorister of this church, were fully
equal to the demands for artistic, in
spiring music for those occasions.
The magnetic personality of our
own Bishop Talbot and the forceful,
helpful truths which he presented,
at both services, ably assisted by the
Rev. Mr. Whlttaker, were very im
pressive. But could easily have
been marred by less effective choir
work. Miss Marguerite Kelloy of
Scranton, Mrs. Lewis A. Howell,
Mrs. John Archer, J. Falk of White
Mills and assisted at the
morning service and they
sang with sonority of tone and
Intelligent feeling. The music was
further enhanced morning and even
ing by William Reif's fine playing
of the violin.
The young people's choir in the
evening sang beautifully as a
chorus, and the Misses Grace Miller
and Dorothy Howell did very sweet,
acceptable solo work.
Scholarly, artistic music, any and
everywhere, is educational and up
lifting. In the service of our Crea
tor it has a double mission and in
spires to lofty ideals, also. But
scholarly music is not attained by
wisning ior it, uiu neeus mucn con
serving, planning and hard work be
fore it is arrived at. In this connec
tion too much praise cannot be giv
en to the very able music commit
tee of Grace church, which consists
of Mrs. Orville Rowland, Mrs. Chas.
Smith and Mrs. Henry R. Shirley.
Because of her especial interest and
unflagging effort In behalf of the
young choir, Mrs. Shirley has also
been given the loving title of "Choir
Mother,
"JOHNNY GET YOUR ILV1R CUT."
The barbers of Honesdale, by mu
tual agreement have made arrange
ments to raise prices for their work.
At a meeting held last Monday even
ing a schedule of prices, advertised
elsewhere In today's Citizen, was
adopted. Among tho different hair
dressing items which will be affect
ed Is hair cutting, shampooing, mas
sage, etc. This is the first raise in
prices by Honesdale's tonsorial ar
tists In 50 years, although other
towns and cities have charged more
for some time.
After July 1 they will charge 25
cents for a hair cut instead of
twenty cents as has been the rate
heretofore. The price of a shave
will remain the same. There will
be no more hair outlines for ten
cents. The closing hours of all the
shops will be 8 o'clock p. m. every
evening except Saturday, when shops
win close at 11:45 oclock.

"Good morning, Polly."
"Good morning, Marie. Heard
the latest?"
"No, do tell me, .1 won't tell a sin

"Really?"
"No, honest I won't"
"I heard my husband talking on
'phone to Carbondale last night and
ho said that Honesdale was going to
trim the miners of that town at a
base ball game which will be played
at the Business Men's nicnie at Lo-
dore on July 23. Ma and pa are go
ing and we are planning to have a
reunion of our family. You know
everybody goes to the Business Men's
picnic. Then there will be amuse
ments of all kinds, which will make
it very entertaining for the day,
Jenkins' Boy Band Is going to be
there, that alone is drawing card
enough for me. Two special trains
are going to be run from Honesdale.
Ono leaving at 0:15 arid tho other
at 1:15 in tho afternoon. Will you
join us?"
-Most assuredly, and I am
going to tell everybody I see. When
will we two meet again? Why, at the
Business Men's picnic, Lake Lodoro,
