Take Care of Your Valuables.

At the present time people SHOULD
use the utmost care in keeping their
valuables in a safe place and their
money in the bank. Never before has
there been so many robberies anc
hold-ups as there are at the present
time. Every week we hear of then
from all parts of the country. It is
claimed that the reason for it is be-
cause the expert criminals are being
driven from Europe on account of the
war, to keep from serving in the ranks
and they are taking refuge in Amer
lea. 1t is a very evident fact that
there is a very lawless class tramping
over the country with whom the Of
fcers are unable to cope, and the only
protection there is against their raw
ages is to carry no money on your per-
son and keep your valuables in safe
places.

WISH OUR MILK-MAN KEEP 4
COW

An urchin in the city bred,
Both poorly clad and poorly fed,
Was taken hence some miles away
To spend rural holiday.
The sights that burst upon his view,
10 him were strange, as they were
new;
His eyes were wide with wondermcnt,
AS now from place to place he went.
Good things he had to eat, and he
Was pleased as well as boy could be;
And lastly there was given him
A glass of milk, full to the brim,
From Jersey COW of pedigree
And spotless pure bred ancestry.
Such nectar he had never had
This meagre, stunted city lad.
Down to the bottom, from the top
He drained the glass, nor left drop.
When asked if good he thought it was,
He wiped his lips, and-then a pause
my gee, but that was good!-Oh, how
I wish our milk-man KEEP COW"

The Japs are Taking Oregon.

D. B. Welty, who recently arrived
from Gresham, Ore, where he livec
for five years, compares the west with
North Dakota, which he declares is
superior to the coast state in many
ways. The Oregon land which sells
for $3.50 an acre is no better than our
own. Most of the farmers cannot af-
ford more than eight or ten acres
They keep two or three cows as rule,
make bare living and in order to
keep the wolf from the door work at
odd jobs in the towns. The farmers
grow small patches of alfalfa and tur-
nips to feed their cows. The Japs
have begun buying up the country.
They work from early morning until
late at night and manage to make a
pretty good thing on two or three
acres, because it costs them but lit
tie to live.

CHURCH ADVERTISING

" HE statement of the Rev. 3. Fl.
Hart, upon the completion of
i his fourteenth year as pastor of
the Fifth Street Methodist Epis-
copal Church, to the effect that he at
tributes much of the success of the
church year just closing to liberal use
of newspaper advertising ought to pro-
vide subject for thought by all minis
ters and laymen desirous of promoting
the growth and influence of their con-
gregations.
The Rev. Mr.. Hart says that the
past twelve months have been the best
he has experienced since he was ap-
pointed to the pastorate of the Fifth
Street Church; and this during a
period of industrial depression when
many families found it necessary to
curtail their church contributions and
many others to leave the city for the
country homes whence they came.
The Rev. Mr.. Hart went into the
subject of church publicity very thor
oughly before he adopted the policy
of using display advertisements in an
eIIOIL 10 uTdN peODlo INTO Ills -CnuTcn.
He studied results elsewhere, prepared
his copy carefully and entered upon
systematic campaign as we'll thought
out as are many of those designed by
industrial advertising managers to in
crease their sales. He did not look for
results Immediately. although they
were apparent at once. but was con-
tent to reckon on the benefits derived
from his advertising covering the
period of a whole year. In this he was
wise. No manufactured articles was
ever established as a staple in the
minds of the purchasing public by one
carelessly written advertisement. The
value of advertising lies not in one big
splatter of printers ink, but in its
careful, consistent and persistent use.
This applies to church publicity as
we'll as to that for the exploitation of
ordinary business.
The Rev. Mr.. Hart has sounded the
keynote of church advertising. To be
of permanent value it must be as con-
tinuous and as earnest as the activities
of the church itself. and thus used will
be as beneficial to any congregation as
1t has been to that of which the Rev.
Mr. Hart is pastor

IETTERST0THE:ED!TOR
FAVoRS REPEAL
To the Editor of the Teiegvoph:

To the Editor of the TelegvOph;
Dear Sir: The letters that have
passed from time to time through the
columns of the newspapers have been
very interesting and instructive and
the privilege of free discussion by the
press favors all with a chance of
knowledge and understanding for
which we are grateful.
have had twenty-seven years serv-
ice with the Pennsylvania Railroad
but never had any experience in the
train service, nevertheless, from my
viewpoint, it seems to me that the full
crew law is too stringent or drastic
and should be repealed, or, at least,
modified to the point of fleXibility,
where it will not insure a hardship on
either the employe or the employer.
am free to say that in discussion
with impartial and fair-minded train
men, they have heartily agreed with
me in this view, and pointing further
to the fact, that in the repeal of the
| Missouri law, many trainmen accorded
| in this view and voted for it's repeal
in that State, which. to my mind. is
| the best evidence of the injustice of
| the law, as it now stands. Further, 1t
| savors very clearly of class legislation.
and in such an event, would be un-
| constitutional.
The railroads claim that they will
employ men on trains where they are
| required but want to be relieved by
law of employing men where they are
not needed. They are in a position
to know what number of men are re-
quired to handle q train of any num-
ber of cars with safety and efficiency.
The managers are unquestionably the
best authority for the number of cars
in trains and the number of men re-
quired for the crew to handle such
trains, because they are in touch with
every movement from start to finish.
No job or position is undermanned
but, on the contrary, there are more
men usually employed for all classes
of work by railroads than there are
outside by concerns or corporations.
We will use our influence for the
repeal.

TUESDAY EVENING. MARCH t6
THE NEW REPAIR PLANT

"HE contract system of street re-
pairs in Harrisburg never was
- satisfactory. When the city S
own plant, which will be in OPP
Grafton not later than May l, gets
under way It is TO be supposed that
Harrisburg will have better street re-
pairs at less cost than ever before.
Mr.. Lynch, who will have charge of
it as superintendent of highways, has
a reputation second to none for keep
ing the streets of the city clean. The
cleanliness of Harrisburg's highways is
proverbiaI. No city in the country can
boast of better service in this respect
and the cost has been extremely low.
1t is therefore to be expected that
Mr.. Lynch will do as we'll with the re-
pair work as he has with the sweep
ing. Meantime he is right in insisting
that the contractor fulfill his obli-
cations.

If the councllmen are as black as

attributed to them by bosses seeking

that they are purely political and de-
