Christmas Tree Committee
Makes Report on Expenses

Lemoyne. Pa, June "A meeting Of
the executive committee in charge of
the municipal Christmas tree celebra-
tion last year announces the following
expenses: The cost for the. electrical
trimmings for the tree purchased and
put into the towns possession perma-
nently, s36, cost OF tree and drayage
expenses, 81; cost of labor for wiring OF
tree. and material for coloring and
cleaning lights. Sl5; cost of baskets
sent out to poor, $40; total cost of the
celebration. S65; amount collected from
businessmen and residents OF the town
by donation, s60.35; there was a debt
of IS due, which has been made up by
the committee. Council will pay the
lighting of the tree.
If the residents of this little borough
desire to have a celebration the COM
ing year, IL is up to the businessmen
of the town to assist in the work. Last
years celebration depended largely on
several of the young men. Much of
the expense will be eliminated this year
Is the lighting material for the tree
was purchased permanently Nothing
definite WAS done at the committee
meeting Yesterday. but several plans
were considered to arouse interest on
the part of the businessmen.

may be found practical by their en-
gineers without bringing out an en-
tirely new car. which in this day of
motor car making is unnecessary.
The Hupp corporation will continue to
build the Series M which is a four
cylinder car, at a medium price. In
producing this series, Hupp engineers
have devoted their time and skill to
improvements of the four cylinder type
car, rather than trying innovations in
strange mechanical fields.
THAT our policy is right in contin-
uing the four cylinder when some con-
Germs were running wild on the null
tiple-cylinder craze is proved by our
wonderful business during the present
selling season. We have already pro-
duced and sold 81 per cent more cars
in eleven months of our fiscal year
than we did in twelve preceding
months and there has not been a time
during the whole season when we were
able to produce cars enough to fulfill
the demand for the four cylinder Hup-
mobile"

Yearly Model Not Favored and
Series IN" Has Met With
Exceptional Success

while automobile manufacturers
have been busily engaged in getting
enough material to produce cars TO
meet the demand, one of the most i'm
portant changes which has taken
place in the industry has been pass
ed by almost unnotioed,' says Lee An
derson. commercial manager of the
Hupp Motor Car corporation. This
change is the passing of the yearly
model which has been so confusing in
the past.
Year after year there have been at
tempts at meetings of the National As
sociation to eliminate this alleged
yearly model. These efforts always
failed. Last January, however, sew
eral of the larger companies follow
ing the lead of the Hupp corporation
decidede to abandon this bad practice
of the yearly type such as the 1916,
1917 and 1918 and to designate the
cars in model series. For instance,
we stated then that the existing car
would be known as the Series IN
Hupmobile. This policy has proved
so practical that nearly every other
company has adopted similar plan
and probably none of the larger con-
Germs will announce a 1917 model.
For instance, at this time last year
newspapers were flooded with various
announcements by motor car concerns
of 1916 Models. This season there
has been no announcement OF this
character and few, If any, are in con-
temptation.
President Drake of the Hupp cor
poration announced our policy at the
New York show, stating that the old
plan was unfair to those who had al
ready purchased cars; was confusing
to the automobile buying public and
unfair to the owner, dealer and man
ufacturer alike.
I'VE could see no reason why a
few minor changes made to Justify the
announcement of a new yearly model,
say 1918 car, should be allowed
through the mere change of model

name, to depreciate over night pur-
chaser's investment by so per cent.
No more could we understand why a
manufacturer should hold up i'm
provements six months to a year, de-
priving the public of their benefit, just
so he might announce a new annual
model later. Nor could we justify a
policy which made a dealer sell his
customers one car today and an inn
proved car tomorrow. These faults
appeared to us as radical defects in
automobile merchandising.
by our new plan automobile COM
panies can make change of refinement
and add any new inventions which

Submarine Piracy.

In his identic note, reprinted in the Con-
gressional Record OF March ?, 1916 from the Chi
cago Herald, insisting on such use of the sub-
marine in its operations against merchantmen as
would insure the safety OF their crews and pas-
sengers and meet the other requirements of in
ternational law, Mr.. Lansing states his fourth
proposition follows

A Proposed Dissertation.

1t is impossible to sympathize with the efforts
OF those New York business men who want to
have the name of the Bowery changed to Contra
Broadway. Not only is the present name the
more attractive and the sentimental appeal al
against a change, but it would seem to be a
commercial mistake to sacrifice the Bowery. That
the old Bowery has been redeemed is a fact as
widely known as were the rcd and white lights
and the characters, quaint as we'll as desperate
that made it famous in the earliest days OF Stew
Brodc and Andy Horn. Everybody knows tina
the Bowery today is staid and respectable, ant
thousands OF visitors go there, no doubt just t,
see how il has adapted itself to the role Blu
who would ever bother to discover and locate
Central Broadway? What change the name of
the Bowery? Why not change the name of the
Battery or Madison Square?

A Deprecated Currency.

Southerners knew themselves depend
ent on Europe or the northern states Tor
almost every yard Of cloth, every coat
or shoe or hat that they wore; for their
agricultural implements. carpenters tools
wagons, cordage, nails, harness, saddles,
axes, tubs, buckets, their very chemicals
and medicinal drugs,-for everything ex-
cept their bread and meat.
The war shut them close within their
boundaries. The Gordon of blockading
fleets all but sealed their ports; the
steady extension of the federal lines
down the valley of the Mississippi River
and across the broad reaches Of the
States of Mississippi and Tennessee to
the southern spurs of the Appalachians
at Chattanooga thrust their western from
tier in to the mountains
Between that impenetrable wall and
the closed seas they were pent up, with
no markets, no means Of life or comfort
or subsistence. no military supplies save
such as they could them selves make or
take from their enemy.
They could get no more railroad iron,
no more locomotives, no more railway
carriages or cars for freight. no more
steam boilers or engines no more tele-
graph wire, no more spades to use in the
trenches, unless, in the midst of war,
they created out of hand an entire in
dustrial system, for which they had
neither trained master mechanics nor fit

had supplied the South with the wealth
with which she had paid the prices Of
the world for her clothing and her tools
and all the varied product of the fac
tories.
OF the great staples rice and cotton
she had almost a monopoly. Her cotton
fields supplied half the world; her rice
and tobacco found their way into every
market. Nearly One-third OF the Indian
corn Of the country, moreover came from
her plantations.
But. without markets, the crops were
valueIess. The value of the cotton ex-

ported in 1850 had been x2oe. "a. ri In
1861 It was but $500, 900: in 1862 but
81. on, 600
The value of the rice exported in
1850 had been 32.567.39s. The value OF
that exported in 1852 was sl56,sss. The
rice fields, moreover. lay upon the ex-
posed southern coasts, where the fed
ersl fleets gathered stronger and
stronger month by month. and had
presently to be abandoned.
1t was no slight embarrassment and
bred a great disturbance of values that
there was no way. so long as she was
thus shut in, by which the South could
replentsh her stock OF specie.
Some specie there was, of course, in
the banks; some came in at the outset
by way Of loans obtained abroad, be-
fore the blockading fleets were nu-
merous enough to intercept It; but its
quantity was insignificant as compared
with what was needed to hold the cur
rency stable when treasure was being
poured out for the war.
The bulk of IL was paid out almost
at once to meet foreign balances.
Private individuals boarded all they
could lay their hands on, and IL prac-
tically passed out of circulation. Paper
money took its place. the promises Of
States as we'll as the Confederate
government itself; grew in volume from
month to month with startling rapid
ity; and sank in value as the old con-
tinental paper had sunk in the days OF
the Revolution.
No man knew for how much he was
selling his crops when he sold them
for paper. No man could guess how
much of that questionable currency
would be necessary to pay his debts
another year.
Postal clerks at Richmond presently
found themselves obliged to resign be-
cause they could not live on a salary
OF nine thousand dollars.
