TELEGRAPH PERISCOPE

The weather man was kind to the
bass liars yesterday.
An Altoona motorman almost ran
down a big black bear on the tracks
near that city yesterday, but as yet
the bear has not appealed to the Public
Service Commission.
The man who is all wrapped up in
himself is apt to have blanket effect
on his associates.
We suppose it is natural for the
man who is in the pink of condition
never to have the blues. Z.
Life is just one thing after another
the fellow who has money worries
for fear he will lose it and the fell
hasn't any to lose.
1t is not always the unmarried who
are being disappointed in love.

BENEFITS OF ASSOCIATION

DRESIDENT ARTHUR D. BACON,
of the Harrisburg Rotary Club,
has outlined plans to bring the
membership together at least twice
during the summer months when no
regular meetings are held. The Cham
ber of Commerce announces that 1t
also will have an outing to which all
members are invited.
The Rotary Club and the Chamber
of Commerce have no more important
functions than the bringing together
periodically of the professional and
businessmen of the city. Somebody
has said that association begets
acquaintance, acquaintance begets
friendship, friendship begets conf
dence and confidence begets business.
That is all true, but association does
more than that. 1t promotes a kindly
feeling among men, it engenders a
better community sentiment, and takes
men out of their narrow, selfish little
circles and teaches them that the
great thing in life is unself1sh service.
Mr.. Bacon, of the Rotary Club, and
Mr.. Gilbert, of the Chamber of Com
merce, are doing much more than
merely arranging pleasant social
events when they plan to bring to-
gether for summer outings the men
of Harrisburg who are doing things.

THE INTERNATIONAL DOLLAR

TIME American dollar is coming
into it's own at last. The day is
near when United States dollars
will be accepted at face value in any
of the Americas, and eventually in
any country, according to statements
made by leading exchange bankers.
Already American institutions are is
suing dollar letters OF credit good
throughout the western hemisphere
with the intention of making them
available anywhere on the globe as
soon as the European war is over.
1t is pointed out that when this is
accomplished the dollar will have ar
rived at it's own and Americans will
not have to put pounds in their pock-
cts when they set out from their ma
tive lands. The bankers say that
not only will it facilitate travelling to
be able to spend dollars in foreign
lands, but that there can be no better

The raid of an unfortifed city by the
French in retaliation for German air
raids on French cities may teach the
Germans a lesson, but there can be no
excuse for the killing of women and
children by the allies because the Ger
man government has adopted that
brutal policy. If the French begin
that sort of thing they will soon find
themselves as heartily despised in this
country as those of their enemies who
have adopted the murderous practice of
killing noncombatants.

PRESIDENT WILSON'S DELAY
[From New York Press

From New York Press.
While he is negotiating the crisis
between the government of the United
States and the government of Ger
many the American people would be
loath to give President Wilson any
thing less than undivided support. But
there is no gainsaying the fact that
the people regard with disappointment
bordering upon impatience the con-
tinued delay in sending to Berlin the
answer which. in a case so clearly and
unmistakably marked, might just as
we'll have gone the day the Won Jagow
note was received as at any time later.

GERMANY STILL MISSING POINT
[From New York Herald. ]

[From New York Herald
Germanys moral blindness con-
tinues. Berlin is ready to do almost
anything to placate the United States
except to acknowledge wrongdoing in
the destruction of American lives on
the Lusitania. Thus from day to day
appear offers, anonymous, but never
theless to be traced to German sources,
to cease attacking American ships even
If they carry contraband, to cease at
tacking American ships providing the
United States enforces it's laws regard
ing carrying explosives on passenger
ships and to cease attacking passenger
ships carrying guns for the enemy If
no explosives are carried. But Ger
many still fails to realize that the first
question at issue is over matters which
have already occurred and which have
to do with wholesale murder of inno-
cent persons.

Certainly can. 1t is the thing that

each county cooperating. The enroll
ment to date reaches 1905. There are
district study centers and county
study centers. 1t is possible to enroll In
both kinds. The district study center
Is an evolution from the county study

the class being taught becomes direct
ly responsible to the local manager who
makes reports and carries out sugges-
tons made by the director and super

NEW TOWN WILL

Council Bluffs, Dec. 22.-Considerable
wonder has been aroused over the
founding Of a new town in Iowa and on
the old established Burlington railroad
line; the idea that the state had place
not already served. Robbins is to be the
name Of the new town. 1t Is about five
miles from Hastings and near Glen
wood, in Mills county. J. D. Robbins, a
wealthy farmer in that section, has
been working for twenty years to Sc
cure the station. He and other farmers
dona ted the land, graded the tracks and
elevator and stock yards grounds. The
location is in one OF the prettiest spots
in the Botna valley and Is In the CEN

raising community.

CEN7ERv|L[E WILL
HAVE. BIG PAGEANT
MANY DAYS ARE DEVOTED TO
PREPARATION FOR EVENT
THERE ON THURSDAY.

Centerville, Dec. 22.-Final prepa-
rations are being made these days for
the production OF the big Christmas
pageant as part of the community
entertainment at the Baptist church
Thursday evening. A cast Of over
fifty people will aid in its presenta-
ton.
Work on this pageant has been going
on for some time and some of the best
talent in the city has been enlisted
to make it success. It was at first
| thought to have It In the opera house,
nut when it was found to be impos-
sible to come to an agreement In re-
gard to the cost Of the house for the
evening. It was decided to hold the
entertainment In the Baptist church
instead. This church with Its elevated
choir loft will prove especially fitted
to some parts Of the performance and
an enlarged platform with some es-
pecially constructed scenery will be
built to further aid in making the at
fair success. 1t is planned to give
the performance about three times
during the evening, so that everyone
may have chance to see 1t and the
admission will be free to all.
The pageant itself deals with fami-
liar biblical scenes that will be
brought out by pantomime acting and
appropriate singing. There will be six
scenes in all, the first depicting the
awakening Of Isaiah and his subse-
quent turning to the Lord; the second,
the visions OF Isaiah; the third. the
visions of Mary; the fourth, the dis
covery of the star in the east by the
shepherds; the fifth, scene in King
Herod's court; and the last one, the
finding Of the Christ, child with Mary
and Joseph by the wise men.
All this has been worked out to the
last detail and 1t is believed that the
pageant will prove very popular with
the audience Three full houses are
expected to view the performance, and
lit will be well worth anyone's time
to go to see 1t.

RETURNS HOME
WITH FINE BUCK
(From Saturdays Daily.)

Louis P Gerou returned this morning
from weeks hunting and pleasure
trip in the northern part of the state.
He was successful in getting fine
buck of about $50 pounds. The other
young men in the hunting party, who
do not reside in Raraboo, also secured
deer. Mr.. Gerou states that there
have been more deer killed this year
than in any previous year, and con-
demns the so-called "buck law Mr..
Gerou himself, saw eleven slaughtered
does lying where they fell, left to rot
in the brush or be devoured by wolves
or other wild animals, the hunter being
compelled to abandon his game on &C
count of the law forbidding the hunting
of female deer. In two instances the
carcasses of the deer had been dressed
by the hunters and Mr.. Gerou and his
party notified the game wardens of their
find so that the venison could be dis
posed of.
Nearly every returning hunter tells
of finding many does and fawns dead in
the woods and one old time hunter has
stated that it would take at least five
years to replenish the deer that will be
left dead in the woods this season That
the law will protect hunters is denied.
They say that being allowed only one
buck, hundreds of hunters stay for
days after they would have left for
home if they could go out with doe.
They are banging away trying to get
buck and are killing does by the hun
dreds and leaving them where they
fall.
