Tho apple crop Is rather small
In Dear Old Wayne;
'TIs better small than none at all
In Dear Old Wayne.
For berries let's go hiking;
The black kind's to our liking.
With pall and "snack" and noisy
"clack"
Through pasture lots we're piking,
In Dear Old Wayne.
The Fruit Crop is Light
In Southern Wayne County.
m 4lHR apple crop will be very
' " I light in all parts of Wayne
county. You may go
through orchards in the vi
cinity of Hawley and not
find enough fruit to make apple frit
ters sufficient to keep life in a
wooden Indian. Strawberries in
field and garden were very notice
able this year on account of their
absence. Late frosts and the early
Tuna irlnfop fnf flmm nil Thft
same may be said about raspberries,
'
In the gardens, currants and goose
berries seemed to meet the same
fate; and if this sort of thing keeps
right Up year after year, why, there
seems no other way out of tho diffi
culty except to keep our fruit gard-
dens down cellar all summer. It is
hard to have to worry along without
berry shortcake of some kind, which
brings the writer up against some
thing he was recently handed by a
friend. Wo don't know who Grace
McKinstry is; but wo do wonder if
she says a Grace of thanks or a pe
tition for protection when she tackles
a piece of her own make of
Commercial Shortcake.
The shortcake that Is such a fako
Wo see again displayed
Tho kind that mother did not make,
And grandma never made.
The kind unknown to boyhood's
dream,
Whose praiso no bard e'er sang,
With gelatlne-bestlffened cream
And whlte-of-egg meringue;
Across its top six berries red,
Placed neatly in a row,
Are resting calmly on a bed
Of spongo cake, dry, below,
It surely is a work of art,
This dish of sweetened foam,
But never will the traveler's heart
Cry out, "That's just like home!"
Grace McKinistry.
Now, it is possible that we owe
some sort of apology to Miss (?)
Mrs. (?) well, plain Grace Is what
she signs herself. So, Grace, we
apologize for whatever isn't right in
what Is written above.
But hero is another side of tho
berry subject that will surely appeal
to every Wayne county young man
of sentiment. We believe that It
will bring a cheerful smile even to
the sourest base ball fan in exist
ence. If any of the older boys
among Citizen readers want to find
enjoyment in Its perusal, why, a lit
tle look Into the past will not do
them a bit of harm. They will find
their hearts grow soft and tender
as they dream of the days
When Hetty Hulls tho Berries.
For maids in graceful poses
Some bards attune their lyres,
Their classic occupations
Arouse poetic fires.
My muse is more domestic,
No highfaluting thing;
When Betty hulls the berries
Is what I want to sing.
With swift and skilful fingers
She plucks the green away.
Stains from their crimson heart
blood
Upon her white hands stay.
So In the way she treats me
The self samo game I see;
When Betty hulls tho berries
She gets the hull of me.
McLandburgh Wilson.
But the blackberry season is al
most upon us, and If wo can find
.time enough we shall look over the
wildwoods where they usually grow
as long as your thumb, as black as
midnight and as juicy and sweet as a
Georgia matermelon.
Tho New Fashion for Men
Has Reached Hawley.
'When you see a man walking tho
streets of Hawley with a section of
bis socks showing well up towards
his knees, don't let your pity run
away with your good sense. The
man is not poor, neither is he a
hobo, nor has he met with an acci
dent. Time was when a slit like
that in a man's pedal garment was
something to bo sensitive about
But times have changed. That per
pendicular slit means that the ad
vance tldo of fashion has reached
us that's all. Now read this:

"And it will probably mean that
they will have to take to wearing
long stockings," he added, "for tho
slits will likely go to tho knee. Too
long have women enjoyed the priv

"Too long have men sweltered in

Now this is not intended as an
advertisement; but Llttlejohn, the
manager at C. H. Freethy's drug
store has them all stopped when it
conies to a genuine summer cooling
drink. He calls it O. G. Punch, and
it surely reaches tho spot, and

mouth, either.

Eastern relatives. Last week ho
was joined by his sister, Ruth, who
is a year and a-half older, and who
also made the long journey alone.
llaso Ball Surely Has
Hawley People Going Some.
It is estimated that about a thous
and people turned out Sunday to see
tho game between nonesaaio ana
Hawley. This was tho largest crowd
that ever turned out to see a game
hero, and tho weather was ideal.
Eugene McCloskey was given much
cred t for his wonaeriui pucning
and great batting, having three time
ly bits, two two-base hits and a three
bagger. The fans say with good sup
port Gene should nave nau a sum
out.
It is to be regretted that a free-for-
all fight was nearly precipitated in
the eighth inning. The Hawley
boys assure tho writer of this that
they do not consider themselves in
the least responsible for the occur
rence. A funny incident occurred at ono
of the most exciting parts of the
game. A classy young fan from
Honesdale rolled a cigarette, and
with fingers trembling with excite
ment proceeded to light It. He
struck tho match, and, with his oyos
glued on the game raised tho blazing
bit of pine to his face. In the mean
time his cigarette had fallen from
his trembling fingers to the ground,
but ho knew it not. And there, to
tho amusement of his friends, he sat
with a blazing match in his hands
trying to light the air, which he was
sucking at for dear life. When ho
was jolted back to a realizing sense
of the real situation, he laughed as
heartily as anybody else over the In
cident.
Tho Fresh Air Kids Are
Charmed With Ilawlcy.
Hawley hasn't been just the same
town since the advent of the 18 fresh
air children from New York. Of the
number 1G aro girls. The two boys
have mado matters quite interesting,
They succeeded in boxing" up a lot
of chickens which they decided to
forward to Philadelphia by the water
route of Middle Creek, Lackawoxen
and Delaware. They would have
done It, too, had their Intention not
been discovered in time. Those who
understand more than ono language
declare that the vocabulary of the
boys Is something very wonderful,
decidedly beyond the comprehension
of modern linguists. The girls have
also picked up a few choice morsels
of language and peculiar habits,
also,
On Thursday Dr. Rodman took the
whole bunch with the ladles who en
tertain them and Father Burke out
to Fairview Lake In autos loaned to
the service by the generous people
of Hawley. While there the Doctor
entertained them all 33 in num
ber at his cottage. To glvo the
children their sharo of water sport,
ho roped off a safe section of the
lake, and then soured tho services of
several members of tho Red Onion
camp to act as guards to .keep the
children on tho safe Bide of the life
lines. And sayl Those children
voted the Doctor and his friends to
be tho best ever. They want to come
to Hawley again next year, and they
want to come with all their "sisters,
and their cousins and their aunts."
Do Von Enjoy Bnso Ball?
Then "Chip In" tho Old Hat!
Unfortunately for Hawley there is
no Chlneso wall around the charm
ed spot where the boys gother to
play base ball. The only place whore
they can mako a charge is In tho
grand stand, and that is not a very
consequental affair. In order to get
the wherewithal to keep tho neces
sary bills paid resort is made to the
old custom of passing the hat. This
method is not very satisfactory in
Its results. Were the grounds fenc
ed so that even a small fee could be
charged there would be sufficient
money in sight constantly to keep
tho wheels running without finan
cial friction. The only suggestion
that seems practical under the cir
cumstances is this: If you enjoy the
game, pay a llttlo, something for the
enjoyment. When tho hat comes
round your way don't dodge it, but
put In something. It's the fellow
who pays who really enjoys anything.
Tramps and hobos do not pay, neith
er do they have much enjoyment.
James O'Connor Pnys
Hawley a Brief Visit.
Onco a year, some years twice,
James O'Connor, who is employed
and has been for years on the Scran
ton Times, comes to Hawley and to
Wayne county. He made his 1913
visit on Sunday, the 20th, and called
on several of his hosts of Hawley
friends. "Jim" likes to take long
walks in this part of Wayne county
where he passed many happy days
of his early boyhood. As he wanders
about ho notes with critical and prac
tised eye the flora of this part of the
grand old "Keystone" state, for he
is something of a botanist. He loves
to rehearse his early experiences
when he "hooked on" cars at the
foot of No. 18, now known by the
name of Pink, and it Is always a joy
to greet him and to look into his
.honest face.

Hinvlcy Hoy AVnnts to
Collect Dunmore Taxes.
We note that B. D. Ames, of Dun
more, is in tho Held for nomination
for the oulce of Tax Collector of that
fine old borough. Mr. Ames is a son
of our townsman John Ames, and

the lure of the Valley drew him
away, and he became a resident of
Dunmore, marrying a daughter of
the late It. P. Savage of that town.
He is now Paymaster for tho Laurel
Line, with offices in Scranton. Eras-
tus would mako a splendid officer,
and it will be just Hawley luck for
him to get the nomination and elec
tion.-
