Chicago, Jan. 25.--"Yes, I ran a

of the favorite remarks of Charles

the Chicago National League Baseball

campaign started.
In his personal property assessment,
Murphy does not lay claims to vast

With this end in view, Charles p.

Concerning Your Grocer and
the Beech-Nut Delicacies

EVERYBODY in Harrisburg has heard
OF the Beech-Nut Delicacies. So have
the people of the whole state of Penn
sylvania and of every other state in the
Union.
Wherever you go nowadays-in the big
cities, In the small towns or i'm obscure vii
lagos, you find people familiar with the Beech
Nut reputation and Beech-Nut methods.
You will not find body of men any
where who are more deeply convinced than
the grocers of America that Beech-Nut Deli
cacies are as fine as human skill can make
them.
The Public Appreciation of Beech-Nut
Dehcacy and Flavor
1t is agreed by grocers and housekeepers
alike, and conceded by everybody. that for
purity, for delicacy and flavor, the products
OF the Beech-Nut Company stand alone.
Whose fault is it then if there are some
people in this city who have been deprived
OF a chance to taste the Beech-Nut Delicacies
to critically examine and compare them
with the ordinary products of commerce?
For there are many Beech-Nut Delicacies
besides Beech-Nut Bacon that you would like
to know about and be glad to try.
You will be surprised to know that a cer-
tain class of grocer is to blame And the
peculiar reason he gives for his pathetic and
impractical mistake is, that Beech-Nut Deli
cacies are too good for his trade. Taking it
for granted that their quality standards are
fixed on inferior goods, and that it is no use
to offer them Beech-Nut.
This, mind you, when we are living in an
age OF advancement. When the tendency
everywhere is rapidly and strongly towards
higher standard of quality, especially in
those things which contribute to the comforts
and pleasures of Efe
, The Groving Store Should Progress
Dith the Advanced Standards
of Public Taste
And where is there another nation in
which there is a stronger desire among the
people for good food than here in the United
States?
You never hear an American housewife
accused of stinting her husband and children
In their meals. She is regarded everywhere
as an ideal provider. She is SO discriminating.
SO lavish in her expenditures for the things
she places upon her table, that strangers who
have observed her generosity criticise her for
spelling her family.
But the women of this country have been
trained from infancy to appreciate the good
things of life. They are noted for the nicety
and superiority of their taste. They have

:acies
always been animated with deep-rooted
desire for the best of everything.
1t Is Un-Anencan for Any Man to
Set Limits on the Aspirations
of the American People
loWard Better Living
Even the workingmen of our land de-
mand better food and greater variety of it
than many of the titled aristocracy of
Europe.
For the .Uage earners of America are
leading the lUorld in the amount of cash to
their credit.
They have loaned the savings banks
$4,727, ,4O3,9 $50; to the savings departments
of national banks, trust companies and other
banks, over $2,OOO,OOO,OOO more-a total
of Seven Billion Dollars.
This represents cash savings alone. 1t
is the greatest accumulation of savings
ever put together by nation of wage
earners - and goes far to show why the
American people are the most discriminating
in the world. They can WeN afford to be.
Go to a Good Grocer-a Grocer Who
Encourages His Customers in
Their Desire for the Best
The trouble with the Indifferent type of
grocer is that he allows his ideas of his Gus
toners to be bred in an atmosphere of dis
trust and fostered by small coterie not at
all representative of the community.
You will find it quite otherwise with the
Beech-Nut Grocer. In all the good grocery
stores of this city you will find Beech-Nut
Delicacies displayed on counters, in show
windows-out IUtere everybody can see and
examine them, and not held in reserve for a
fetO faUorite customers.
When a woman shows interest in Beech
Nut Delicacies the grocer does not say to her
that she is prompted by too ambitious mo-
tive and should cast it aside and be satisfied
with something inferior.
1t is of no consequence to the Beech-Nut
Grocer whether the customer be learned
or an unlearned woman. He knows no dis
tinction. He finds it polite as well as polite
to respect the judgment of everyone who
comes into the store. He provides his GUS
toners with the finest he can get He never
thinks the best is too good for them.
That is why Beech-Nut Grocers have the
full confidence of their customers and they
have his.
And that is why we are determined never
to offer for sale any article under the Beech
Nut label until we are satisfied that it is
better than any similar article made.

SCHOOL NOTES
Auditorium Crowded


The auditorium was crowded be-
vond the seating capacity to hear
Rev. Crozier's splendid address on
Sunday. Every available chair viii
be drafted for the remainder of com
mencement week, but persons attend
ing the programs are advised to come
early to be sure of a seat. All pro-
grams will begin at eight o'clock.
The ease with which the auditorium
is crowded for school functions is ev-
dence of increased population or OF
increased interest in Lamar. The aud
itorium is planned to be adequate for
the building when completed. Since 1t
was built, high school attendance has
increased from an enrolment of 124
to an enrolment of 204. The new
building as completed at this time IL
entirely inadequate for such an en-
rollment. With a prospect of an en-
rollment of $50 high school students
next year, something needs to be
done to provide room for them. Not
only additional class rooms should be
provided but rooms for cooking, sew
ing and manual training. One of the
CRYING needs of the school and ne
cessity for any thorough course in
physical training is a good, well equip
ped gymnasium. There is at this time
an especially good market for Colo
RADIO school bonds, the premiums on
recent sales amounting practically to
the interest for one year. Arrange
ments can be made so that taxes for
interest and sinking fund need not
begin for one or two years after the
voting of bonds. There is no question
but that the building must be com
pleted soon. The question is whether
Lamar will wait until crowded, unsat-
isfactory conditions and consequent
lowering of school standards compel
public attention, or whether she Will
arrange to build in time to take proper
care of the incoming students.
The school has forged ahead in many
respects. 1t attracts students over a
wider scope of territory than any
other high school in the state. 1t has
the largest tuition list: 1t has more
high school students in proportion to
grade enrolment than any other high
school in the state. Its attendance
has increased "a per cent in four
years and promises greater increase
in the next four years. 1t is accred-
tied by all state institutions and by all
the colleges belonging to the North
Central association, including the I'm
iversity of Chicago and the University
Of Michigan. People of Lamar have a
right to be proud of their high school.
A slight burden of tax would not be-
come operative for probably two
years would permit the completion Of
of the high school building at this
time, and now is the time that it is
needed. The general and special
funds Of district No. IA are, or will be
in a few months on cash basis and
the board of education contemplates
a reduction of school taxes that viii
be equivalent to or greater than any
increase necessary on account of bonds
for building. This being true, the
voting of bonds for completing the
high school building will not entail
any additional burden upon the tax
payer, beyond what is borne at this
time. The school is now overcrowded
and with the beginning Of the fall
term the work will be seriously hand
icapped unless more room is provid-
ed.
