I'LANS FOU ATTENDING COM
MISSIONERS' CONVENTION
TALKED OVER.
Other Business Transacted and
monthly Dills Paid Weidner Will
Fill in Approaches to New Bridge.
The county commissioners hefd
their regular monthly meeting in
their office in the court house Tues
day afternoon and only the regular
business was brought before that
body. Bills for the month of July
wero ordered paid.
Larry Weldner was engaged to
1111 in the approaches to the abut
ments to the new foot bridge over
the Lackawaxen river at the foot of
Court street. A communication -from
the contractors who secured the con
tract for building the new bridge, in
formed the commissioners that the
work on the bridge would not be fin
ished unti1 fall. It was at first
thought that it would be completed in
time for the Chautauqua but that
will be impossible as the Chautauqua
will take place this month.
The matter of sending representa
tives to the Commissioners' Conven
tion which will meet in Williams-
port on August 11-1G Inclusive, was
talked over at the meeting on Tues
day afternoon but nothing definite
was reached, as it could not be de
termined who could attend. It is
possible tfeat Commissioners' Clerk
T. Y. Boyd and one or more of the
commissioners may attend the con
vention as it would be a great help
to them. County Solicitor Homer
Greene is also holding the date un
der consideration.
P. H. Iloff, attorney for the Haw
ley poor board, appeared before the
commissioners while In session to
protest against the non-payment of
expenses of the non-resident poor of
.Hawley. The commissioners ordered
the bill paid.

KICKED IJY HOUSE; LIMB
BROKEN AT KNEE JOINT.
Ittclinrd Walsh, of Canaan, Sustains
Painful Injury in Holl Hi-others'
Barn on AVcdnesday Afternoon.
Richard Walsh, aged 50 years, of
Canaan township, who resides near
tho Canaan Catholic church, sustain
ed what is thought to be a com
pound fracture of the left knee,
about half-past four o'clock Wednes
day afternoon, when he was kicked
by his horse which was hitched in
Hull Brothers' barn on South Main
street.
Mr. Walsh had come to
Honesdale on business and put- up
his horse in the barn. About four
thirty he went in to give the horso
some hay before he left for home.
As he was passing the horse In the
narrow stall it kicked him, the blow
breaking the left limb near the knee
joint so that the bone protruded.
When assistance came Mr. Walsh
was removed to the office of Dr.,
Griffin where the fractured limb was
attended to, but the doctor decided
it was best to have the man taken to
a hospital so that an X-ray picture
could bo taken to determine tho
extent of the fracture. Mr. Walsh
was taken on' the C o'clock Erie train
to Scranton where ho entered the
Moses Taylor hospital.
Tho horse had been owned by Mr
Walsh for many years and had never
been known to kick before. The oc
currence at this particular timo
when Mr. Walsh was there beside
the animal in the narrow stall, was
probably the result of being bother
ed by flies.
Advice from the hospital to-day
stated that Mr. Walsh was resting
easily but that the X-ray had not
yet been used.

WHO IS LEADING?
In answer to the many inquiries as
to who is leading the base ball team
in batting we give herewith a hastily
composed list of averages. Many
of these averages are a little abovo
normal because of the "swatfest" on
Sunday at Hawley. In one In
stance, that ot Capt. Brader, the av
erage is, much lower than it should
be because Brader played the first
tour games with, a very bad hand,
which interfered much with his hat
ting. By leaving out these four
games Brader s average would be
.341, which Is nearer to his normal
form.

How to Build Up or Tear Down
This Community
The Menace of the
THAT tho mail order houses in the large cities have BECOME A
MENACE to the smaller cltle3, towns and communities is proved by
tho largo patronage they enjoy from all over the entire country and
further substantiated by tho number of packages carried by transporta
tion companies, which under tho law must bear the name or some mark of
identification by which the shipper is known.
This mall order business got Its inception from men who made a hnblt of
buying up secondhand goods, stocks from bankrupt firms and fire damaged or
salvage goods from fire losses. To those were added goods that were culled
by manufacturers and graded seconds nud thirds, etc.
Theso wero shrewd business men, men who believed in advertising, and,
realizing tho possibilities of advertising, commenced their business entirely
along these lines, and to PROVE THE SUCCESS OF ADVERTISING no
better evidence could possibly bo offered than tho fact that every weekly pa
per fnrm, industrial, social or religious carries their advertisements nnd also
that they send out catalogues of enormous sizes, beautifully illustrated nnd
embellished, costing hundreds of thousands' of dollars to publish.
Today they have grown to such enormous size that they own and control
factories, while they contract to sell tho entire output of other factories.
Howover, tho plants they control nnd operate manufacture what Is termed
In commercial parlance as competitive goods something that every merchant
can sell nt a low price to meet tho demands! for cheap merchandise.
BUT AS TO STANDARD AND HIGH CLASS GOODS MADE BY
LARGE AND RELIABLE FIRMS YOU NEVER SEE THESE GOODS AD
VERTI8ED BY MAIL ORDER HOUSES, OR IF YOU DO THE PRICE
IS JUST THE SAME AS FIXED BY THE MANUFACTURERS FOR ALL
DEALERS. Therefore when one orders articles of' the low priced nnd cheaper kinds
HE IS SURE TO GET JUST WHAT HE BUYS-eheaply made goods
and seconds and no cheaper than he can buy right nt homo when freight
charges, money order fees and postage are added.
Thousands of dollnrs annually are being sent to theso mall order houses
from this vicinity, thus DEPRIVING THE nOME MERCHANT OF HIS
RIGHTFUL PATRONAGE. And yet, no matter how much the merchant
may bo dependent on tho patronngo of members of his community, ho is sup
posed to give nnd to aid In every work undertaken for tho material betterment
of his town, nnd ho does, being often coe'reed Into giving by tho demands of
his customers, fearing to offend them because of the fear of loss of patronage.
THERE CAN BE NO QUESTION BUT THAT ALL OF OUR PEOPLE
ARE IN DUTY BOUND TO PATRONIZE HOME MERCHANTS. TO
THEM YOU OWE ALLEGIANCE AND-SUPPORT, AND I NOW ASK
YOU CANDIDLY, ARE YOU GIVING If TO THEM7
If you are buying goods out of your home town more particularly from
maD order bouses and merchants in other cities I say to you that you are
UNDERMINING THE HOME MERCHANT and likewise the very founda
tion of your own well being. Every dime that you send to n mall order house
makes that much harder tho success of your home merchant nnd likewise re
tards tho growth of your town. The money you seud to mail order houses is
taken entirely out of local circulation is gone forever.
WHEREAS, IF YOU SPEND IT VyiTH A HOME, MERCHANT HE IN
TURN WILL SPEND IT WITH SOME , ONE ELSE PERHAPS PAY IT
BACK TO YOUR FATHER, YOUR ,60N OR BROTHER. SISTER OR.
DAUGHTER AS 8ALARY, AND THUS IT COMES BACK INTO THE
FAMILY, DOING A UNIVERSAL GOOD.
That many of our home people aro ordering goods from mall order houses
Is a well known f aet One has but to visit tho depots and express office to find
therein dally many packages addressed to them and likewise bearing tho name
ox address of certain mail order houses. Theso people arc known to our mer
chants, and that's a fact These packages consist of clothing, dry goods, gro
ceries, drugs, toilet articles, furniture, hardware, carpenters' tools, form imple
ments and what not, ALL OP WHICH COULD BE PURCHASED FROM
OUR OWN HOME MERCHANTS, QUALITY CONSIDERED, FREIGHT
CHARGES ADDED AND TIME IN TRANSPORTATION, JUST AS
CHEAPLY AS FROM ANY MAIL ORDER HOUSE IN THE COUNTRY.
Supposing tho merchants should band themselves together and ref uso credit
to those who patronize theso mall order houses and further refuse to employ
members of families who do this or refuse to buy the wares of theso people?
Wouldn't they find living mighty hard?
To bo continued under the title, "THE HOME MERCHANT HAS EARN
ED SUPPORT."

TEAM, DRIVER AND WAGON
GO DOWN EMBANKMENT.
Victor Mesler, Driver of Borden's
Team Escapes What Might Have
Proven Serious Accident.
About 3:30 Thursday morning
Borden's team, milk wagon and Vic
tor Mesler, driver, went down a for
ty-foot embankment at the end of
the Dyberry State road. The morn
ing was very dark and foggy, which
accounted for the accident. It hap
pened at what is known as the Big
Eddy in tho Dyberry river. Mr. Mes
ler drives the Borden team and col
lects milk from the farmers. He
leaves Honesdale about 3 o'clock
every morning, going to Ri'eyville,
where he receives large quantities of
milk.
Mr. Mesler was not injured in the
fall, which is miraculous, as the riv
er bank Is rocky and full of stubble.
The horses laid one over tho other
and were unable to free themselves
until Mr. Mesler secured help. The
milk wagon and empty cans were
turned upside down. Mr. Mesler ob
tained Fred Weyman, Wallace Jus
tin, Leslie Van Deusen, and Edward
Starbuck to assist in getting the team
unhitched aud out of the difficulty.
Superintendent Curtis was also call
ed. The horses were taken to Mr.
Van Dousen's barn, where no deep
cuts or bruises were found. Taking
it as a whole it was a fortunate ac
cident for man and beast.
