the Consumer.
There you have it--both ends ant
the middle---and the three working
in harmony should make any com.
munity prosperous.
The one cannot prosper without
the other, and neither can meet with
success without the cooperation Of
the other two.
Therefore, to achieve prosperity
for the community it becomes the
paramount duty of all concerned to
work in harmony-to labor to one
common end-to protect the homes
that give us shelter and to conserve
the interests of the people who con-
stitute the community.
We may make of this community
"A hive of industry and a realm of
peace, prosperity and happiness-or
we may just drift along with the
tide, pick up the crumbs that are
thrown our way, and grumble be-
cause the Lord provides for others
and apparently forgets our exist
ence.
1t will be as we make it-no other
way.
The Lord has provided us with
Intelligence, and health, and energy,
md the power to accomplish things.
With that His work is done, and
the rest is up to us.
If we make the best of that which
He has given us we will soon be-
come prosperous. and happy, and
contented--a people enjoying to the
fullest of hfe's blessings.
But if we neglect the gifts with
which He has endowed us the pen
atty of failure will fall upon our
own shoulders-the responsibility
will be ours alone-the commercial
stagnation of our common commun-
ity will be but the natural sequence
of our own short sightedness.
No community will prosper with
out the presence of a variety of
stores, shops and other marts of
commerce and trade. They are as
necessary as the ground that we till
and the sun and rain that produce
our crops.
No store or shop can survive with
out the loyal support of the COM
munity-the WHOLE community.
The interest sof the retailer and
consumer are on in common-the
success of the one depends upon
the cooperation Of the other.
But these two interests that
should be working in harmony are
ofen too wide apart-separated by
yawning gulf of indifference and
neglect.
And the body politic-the COM
munity as Wholesalers, and
stagnates, and withers and dies.
But there is A REMEDY.
And herein comes the province OF
the middleman--this newspaper.
From commercial standpoint the
local newspaper is simply ego be-
tween"-and it is the medium of
carrying the message from the mer-
chant to the consumer.

GERMAN OFFENSIVE
TOWARD WARSAW IS
REPULSED BY RUSS
Germans Cross Bzura Unmostd But on Bank They Were
Attacked With Bayonets and Many Were Killed; in
France and Belgium Assaults of Allies Have Failed to
Develop; Fighting Is Violent on Eastern Front

Violent lighting is in progress along
the eastern battlefront, leading at
points to desperate hand-to-hand en-
counters. An official Russian state
ment shows that, after capturing
Bolimow, the Germans attempted to
push on to the northeast, in the di-
rection of Warsaw, about thirty miles
away. This movement marked the re-
newal of the German offensive toward
the Polish capital, after a period of
comparative inactivity, but their ad-
vance in this direction is said to have
been repulsed with large losses.
remarkable night battle on the
bank OF the Iura river is described
IN the Russian communication which
says that German forces We're per
United to cross the river unmolested
and then were attacked with bayonets,
without firing shot. 1t is asserted
that several hundred Germans were
killed ana the remainder surrendered.
In the other campaigns on Europe's
battlehelds no essential changes are
reported. In the s-Caucausian re-
Slon the Turks and Russians are en-
gagged in fierce struggles. but reports
from Petrograd and Constantinoplo
concerning the outcome are at com
plete variance.
In France and Belgium the attacks
of the allies have failed to develop
into another great battle and it is be-
lieNed in London that the attempt to
eNpel the Germans from their con
quered territory may be deferred for
several months
Steinbach Captured
The capture by the French of Stein

advance of the French was preceded
by an artillery bombardment which
the German statement describes as
overwhelming" and which enabled
the French to occupy trenches near
Sennheim. as well as the town of

LONDON EXCHANGE IS
OPENED FOR BUSINESS
National Anthem Sung by Rather
Smaller Attendance

London. Jan. 4. 1905 p. m.-The
London Stock Exchange reopened for
business to-day after having been
closed on account of the war since
July so. Severe restrictions were
placed upon trading in order 10 pre-
vent anything approaching panic SELL
ing Yr the unloading of securities by
hostile countries.
The session opened with a round of
ringing cheers and to the strains of
the national anthem. heartily sung by
rather smaller attendance than
usual A number of British and
French members were absent on ac-
count of the war while the exclusion
of aliens who were not able to satisfy
the committee they had severed all
connection with foreign countries re-
duced somewhat the foreign attend
ance.
The single fact that business has
been resumed and then on a limited
scale and under restrictions is taken
to Indicate that the greatest crisis in
the history of the exchange has been
safely negotiated through the com
bined efforts of the treasury and the
Stock Exchange committee.
The house had been redecorated
during the prolonged recess and to-
day it presented a cheerful appear
ance. Several English members ap-
peared in khaki. There were no shout

ness was on a strictly cash basis. The
committee decided to allow all deal

PLANNING To BEGIN
1914 AUDIT JAN. 18
Board Will Formally Demand
Books and Accounts of Coun-
ty on Wednesday

After a brief conference this morn
ing County Auditors John w. Cassel,
Francis W. Reigle and Frederick W.
Huston to-day decided to demand the
1914 books and accounts of the vari-
Gus county departments SO they can
begin the annual audit by Monday.
January IS.
Secretary Huston will make formal
application for the books at the meet
ing of the County Commissioners on
Wednesday. The board of auditors con-
tend that they are required to make
the 1914 audit by the decision of the
Dauphin County Court of last year
which held that the board has a legal
right to serve until the expiration of
the terms of the auditors in 1916.
Whether or not the County Commits
sioners will give up the books or let
the case be threshed out again in the
courts in problematical, but it is be-
lieved that no objection will be raised
this time. The audit, however, should
he completed in Il week at most. it is
held. because all the balances, tabu-
lation of the warrants and bills and all
the other details which heretofore re-
quired so much of the auditors time

troller Cough and County Treasurer
