Second Oldest Fire Company
Has Had Memorable Career
During State Convention Organization
Will Entertain Fifty
Visiting Bodies

Hope company had its quarters in
Front street near the site of the pres
ent North street pumping station. The
first officers of the Hope company
We're: Thomas Walker, president;
John M. Foster, vice-president, and
Alexander Graydon, secretary. Will
liam Mccoy. a retired Pennsylvania
Railroad machinist. who resides in
Forster street, is the oldest living
member of the Hope company in Har-
risburg. There are many veteran
members still living, but none have
been identified with the Hope company
as long as Mr.. Mccoy. Jacob House
is another veteran member.
The First Engine
The first engine this company had
was the Pat Lyon" made in Phila-
delphia at cost of $1,000. This en-
CINE threw two hogsheads of water per
minute. The company was reinforced
under the direction of the Town Coun-
Gil in January. 1853. A second class
engine was purchased at a cost of
$1,000. The company first used q
small frame structure for it's house,
but in 1855 a two-story brick house
was erected. The bricklayers, carpen-
ters, painters and plasterers belonging
to the company worked gratuitously,
DONG service far into the night by the
light of their fire lanterns.
The Hope company has made many
trips and not only won honors in pa
rades but from every city they visited
the Hope members brought home
numerous trophies. On its last trip
the Hope company was away a week
and stopped over in number of New
York cities. Many of the companies
visited will come to Harrisburg next
October.
Win Silver Carriage
During the war the Hope company
won handsome silver plated parade
carriage in contest with other local
companies. The carriage was gift
from the late Jennie Cameron and was
named after the donor. 1t occupies a.
place In the Hope parlors and will be
seen during the firemen's celebration,
Ihe Hope company also won a piano
in a contest and was victorious in
every local contest it entered.
The Hope company boasts of only
three presidents in thirty years. The
present head Is A. FL. Kreidler, former
councilman of the Fourth ward. Other
president were the late William H.
kepner, Harrisburg's first mayor; the
late Wallace Dewitt. the late Alfred T.
Black, E. Levi little, George Huffman
and Jacob Kohler. The latter was
chief of the fire department for two
terms. Other chiefs selected from the
Hope were the late Albert l.. Welper
and the present incumbent, John C.
Kinder. Edward Halbert, assistant
fire chief. is also a member of the
Hope.

WORK AND PLAY

Montgomery Evans, president of the
State Bankers Association, in his
Bedford convention speech, made this
wholesome comment:
The gist of the new preaching is
that the chief aim in life is play. They
rebel against the ancient doctrine that
work Is not only a duty but also a
benefit to mankind. In school and
college in these days the youth who
plays best is highest honored and the
youth who works best is most des-
pissed. The standard of interests pre-
ailing in school and college go with
the youth out into the life of the
world. Labor Is looked upon as irk-
some and to be escaped, If possible.
In former times, thrift went hand in
hand with labor and was recognized
as virtue. To-day thrift is anathe-
ma with large percentage of our
population. To spend and to waste
bring praise.
Under the old order of things the
man who labored whethen in the
humblest or highest position, was
valued and regarded on account of his
efficiency and growth in capacity. The
doctrines of organized labor to-day
encourage and demand equality of
work and uniform result. Men must
still work, but they must be careful
not TO work too long, nor too hard,
nor too well. and to be sure to watch
the clock.
THE aim is to reduce all craftsmen
to uniform dead level The real
things accomplished in the past in
this country and In the world have re-
suited from work of body and mind.
the hardest work. the best work.
mans striving to his utmost. The new
theory of half-hearted work and of
much play has yet to be tested out by

THE DECIDING VOICE

In business mems club in a west
ern town there sprang up two factions,
one which criticized the steward be-
cause he did not provide the members
with good meals and one which de-
Tended him hotly.
The dispute got fercer and fiercer.
Half the club wanted to fire the stew
ard at once. The other half said he
was efficient
Then, without warning, the steward
himself decided the momentous oues-
ton.
One day at lunch time a member of
the club asked waiter:
Where's the steward?"
He amt here" replied the waiter.
HE said he was going down the street
to get something good to eat."-The

Skin
Removed by Absorption

AS undue summer exposure usually
leaves an undesirable surface of tam
dust or grease, often freckles, too, 1t is
more sensible to remove such surface
than to hide it with cosmetics. There's
nothing better for this than ordinary
mercolized wax, which actually absorbs
an unwholesome complexion. The thin
layer Of surface skin is itself absorb
ed, gently, gradually, so there's no in
convenience, no detention indoors.
Spread the wax lightly over the entire
face at bedtime and take 1t off in the
morning with warm water. If you will
get one ounce of mercolized wax at the
drugstore, use for a week or so, you
may expect marked improvement daily.
When the underlying skin is wholly
in view your complexion will be a
marvel of spotless purity and beauti-
full whiteness.
Don't let those summer wrinkles
worry you; worry breeds more
wrinkles. Danish them by bathing the
face in a solution of powdered saxo-
lite, 1 or, dissolved in " pit witch
hazel Used daily for awhile this will
be found wonderfully effective.

maps you have creased and painted for

The trouble is in your blood and merely
appears on the surface because the skin

WOODSTOCK HAS
STORMY SESSION
ON TAX QUESTION
Acknowledgement Gives Opinions
as to Legality of Proceed
ings-Issue May Go to
Supreme Court.

WoodstOck March GA largely attend
ed snccial town meeting to-day voted to re-
Sc!rd the vote passed at the annual meet
Ing March . to raise a tax Of 81 on grand
list. There has been much feeling over
the tax question and the town has been
freely circularized by opponents and sup
portcrs of the 81 tax The gathering was
somewhat belligerent and vociferous.
There was some question as to the legality
of the vote in the March meeting. as a
number of women voted on the general
appropriation for current expenses, which
included school expenses, but this was
disposed Of by Attorney General Brown,
who said it was legai inasmuch as the
number of votes cast by women would
not have affected the result. After much
speechmaking the meeting to-day rescind-
Cd the former vote and reduced the tax
to ii 3D. This was done notwithstanding
statement from the Encouragement.
which was read by Moderator J. :. Eaton,
that such action was illegal. A motion to
instruct the seleCtmen to submit the ques-
ton to supreme court was also howled
down. There is Il quite general opinion
that to-day's vote was ill-considered and
likely to involve the town in legal Difficult
ties If any taxpayer protests ana the at
torney- generals opinion is supported by
the supreme court.
