PROSPERITY WAVE

TVIDENTLY the country is in for
II the long predicted but slow to
materialize prosperity wave re-
sulting from the war in Europe and
the placing of large orders for supplies
and munitions in the United States.
Following the announcement of the
Central Iron and Steel Works and the
Pennsylvania Steel Company that their
plants are buster than for many
months comes the advertisement of
the Harrisburg Pipe and Pipe Bending
Company for 200 skilled workers and
the statement that the company has
put to use every available foot of
ground adjoining it's manufacturing
site and is working twenty-four hours
a day.
The Cambria Steel Company will
operate on full time for the first time
in two years, beginning next Monday
morning. and Pittsburgh reports that
its mills are behind with their orders.
This is good news, but until some
way is found to export the coal that
in normal times passes in such huge
quantities over the Pennsylvania and
the Reading railways through this city,
Harrisburg will not enjoy the full
measure of prosperity that appears to
be at hand for many towns The boom
in the steel trade will help matters
materially and the movement of grain
in due season will add to the volume
of freight traffic, but coal for export
must come through before the rail-
roads will be in position to make any
new records.
Our present prosperity is clearly
built on war basis, but even so the
orders now in the process of being
filled will tide the mills over the winter
at least and trade should show a dis
tinct improvement in all lines with the
coming of Fall and the return of the
vacation seeking public to the ordinary
walks of life.

SAFETY AT CROSSINGS

TTUMMELSTOwN has set a good
example for other localities
similarly situated with respect
to grade crossings. Every effort should
be made to make crossings as safe as
it is possible to make them. The bor-
ough officials are determined that there
shall be no more such accidents as
that of July 5 and in this they should
have the hearty support of all con-
celned. The public has a right to
expect safe transport across the rights
of way of railroads. These rights of
way once belonged to the people and
they are now the property of the rail-
roads because the people saw At to
give title to them, and. useful as the
railroad is to the community, it must
recognize also that 1t may not trans
gress upon the freedom or the safety
of the public upon the highways. All
crossings may not be bridged or tun-
neled, and at many even watchmen are
not vital necessity, but there are
many unguarded spots as deadly in
their possibilities as that at Hummels-
town and such menaces should be re-
moved.

YOU CAN'T BEAT 'EST
BY Wing Dinger


There's one of my youngsters who
never has time
To sit at the table and eat
Because he's too anxious to get out OF
with the rest of his playmates to
meet.
His mother informed him at breakfast,
one day,
That II he did not eat some food
He'd get naught to eat ere lunch time
came around,
But the warning availed not much
good.
The table he left, and much to the sur
prise
OF mother. the morning went bv
Without any pleadings for something
to eat
Then into affairs she did pry.
1t seems that pistol, for which he had
paid
Ten cents, and no longer did prize
Was sold to another for fifteen cents
With proceeds he purchased three

THE LIBERTY BELL


So many praises have been sung,
So many tributes written.
OF honors famous bells have rung
For Scot or Celt or Briton.
So many tales of issues great
These metal tongues have spoken,
When weaker nation met its fate
And wars suspense was broken.
So many deeds of kingly strife
Now read in legends olden,
OF valiant men in knightly life,
When gallantry was golden.
Above these bells of foreign kings
And all their victory,
A reigning bell forever swings
Our bell of Libertyl
How sweet the wildly changing note
To those who stood below 1t
And heard the chimes of freedom float
That all the world might know It'll
How strong our independence pealed
It's deep-cracked surface tells;
The pride of patriots is revealed
Within this bell of bells!
