President again? Or that I desired to know what the Roosevelt idea of adequate preparation isg Particular ly after examining the Democratic brand exhibited in Washington.
 The editor was taken to Oyster Bay where he was received by the ex-P President. After the interview. Mir, Blethen draws the following conclusion;
 The Completed Picture. l had secured my mental nega- lives. What about tho finally de veloped pictureg
 Here it is.
 He's older, graver, stronger, than I thought he'd be. He's just about the best American ever ran across, He is so little like the "T. R" of cartoon and editorial that he leaves you amazed, yet he's so much like that same "T. R." that 1t is easy to understand the distorted pictures painted by his enemies.
 If he should become the Repuh- lican candidate for President-which l think he will think his plat form will have about four blanks. the last of which I can only guess . l..-.,, I hoxr haar, e, r,,,.eh ,,, terested in the other three l be- lieve that, in the event of his nofn- ination, he will talk and insist upon adequate preparedness first, Ameri- canism. with its application to the hyphenates, second. and internation- al duty, third. I think that his idea of international duty revolves around the line, ito thine own self be true" For q fourth plank I nom mate, without authority, the tariff
 One Man for Preparedness.
 Theodore Roosevelt is the one possible man who can and will give this country adequate preparedness. It is my firm belief that the first message he writes as President-and I expect him to be the next Presi- dent-will deal with preparedness. And I believe that he will keep at 1t till he gets it For that reason he should have the support before and after the Republican convention of those of us who believe in mak- ing our country safe from war.
 Nail, now. the lies that Roosevelt would get us into war first thing, were he President. It was Roose- welt who three times kept us out of wars with major powers, and then deliberately gave the credit to the leadrs of the powers involved. Unless it be too late, he'll keep us out of war again, if the people de mand his nomination and election.
 The newspaper of which have the honor to be editor has no party politics It does not attempt to force it's choice of candidates upon its readers. But 1t does believe in adequate preparedness and has done it's little best in that cause
 Wherefore, a certain amount of interest attaches to the fact that Theodore Roosevelt is the first big man in civil life who has proven to me that he understands and will fight for my own cause Note, too. that say he is not the man he is represented to be.
 He's a wonderful American. I don't see who else can make this country defend itself against it's enemies. Nor should there be any one else with this great diplomat. scholar, statesman, ready to answer the call of his country.
 I would like to write, I SHALL VOTE FOR ROOSEVELT It would be more accurate perhaps to say, expect to vote for him.
 Anyway. those of us who advo- cate preparedness are going to have 2 great deal of interest in the out come of the Republican convention.

writes prescription for the medicine
he wants you to take, you take the
prescription to your druggist and he
prepares it for you. The process of
preparing a prescription perhaps is
not thoroughly understood by the gem
eral public. First, great care has to
be used, then the highest quality of
material and the most important part
is the proper amount of each mate
rial, this last point is where a large
share of the druggists make mistakes.
AT the drugstore of h. u. Gross To-
Gated at 119 Market street, the pre-
scriptions are always put up by a
licensed man, who first studies the
prescription, then gets the different in
gradients together with the proper
utensils for compromising same. After
this has been accomplished, the second
person is called who checks over the
work of the dispenser to see if prop
erly put up, then the cost of the ma
terlal is figured and fair percentage
charged for labor and profits. This
system prevents mistakes and dissatis-
faction and accounts for the steady
growing prescription business at the
Gross store which is the oldest drug
store in the city, being established in
1920. In 1926 d. w. Gross, the pres
ent owners father, entered the store
as a clerk and subsequently became
partner in the first drugstore in the
city. The policy OF this store has al
ways been maintained that is fair
dealing, quality and reasonable prices.

SCARCITY OF COMPONENTS
RESULTS IN HIGHER PRICES
Paint Manufacturers Inform Dealers
That Orders For Future May
BE Affected

Paint manufacturers throughout
the country are refusing TO accept or
ders now for future shipments of
paint unless a special proviso is made
that the price may be regulated. This
condition, said to be a new one in
the industry, has been brought about
by an unprecedented shortage of fun
damental components.
The inability of American manu-
facturers to get zinc and the various
coloring matters, usually imported
from the now belligerent countries
has brought about radical increases in
prices. Even at the highest figures
it is impossible to get certain perma-
nent colors. Reds, in particular, are
scarce and others are almost as hard
to get in quantities.
Mr.. Ryder. of the Ryder Hardware
stores, located at North 18th street,
and 302 Nerbeke street, has received
several letters from the Sherwin-
Williams people for whom he is local
distributor explaining why advance or
ders are necessary in order to be
filed in time. The letter explained
that the great shortage made ii inn
possible to carry large stocks of raw
materials and future orders can he
met only at prevalent prices. Mr..
Ryder has a very large stock of
paints on hand at the present time
put he predicts trouble in filing
orders when the coming building sea-
son gets in full swing and for that
reason is advising his customers and
the public in general to place their
orders as much in advance of the

MANUFACTURES SHADES FROM
ARCHITECTS, SPECIIuC ATION

Part of the Spring cleanup cam
paign in every house and business es-
tablishment is an inspection of the
window shades. Those who have gone
over the shade equipment in the
homes and stores thus far have found
it necessary to replace many which
have outlived their usefulness as pro-
lection against the glaring sun.
AS a consequence. Harrisburg con-
Germs making a speciality of manu-
featuring shades are receiving orders
for special jobs, in large quantities
at this season. ID. NJ. Zeigler, To-
Gated at 10 South Second street, this
city, gets very good portion of this
business as well as a very large
amount OF upholstering and awning
business at this season of the year.
Mr.. Zeigler is making up a large num-
Der of shades of special specifications
at the present time.
He is also making several large
shades for store windows, Mr.. Zeigler
states that he is we'll stocked up at
the present time and is all ready to
take care of the extra business which
comes with this season of the year.

Covers Several Different Branches of
the Automobile Business
The new garage of the Auto Trans
opened at 27-29-31 n. Cameron St, is
one of the most modern and up-to-
date garages in this part of the coun-
try as well as an automobile show in
itself, there are so many different
departments all under one roof.
One of the most important depart
ments and about the busiest is the
buying, selling and trading of auto
mobiles. Here is a business man who
has purchased a new car and desires
to dispose of his old model; another
man has got tired of his car, or needs
money and has no other way of rails
ing same, they may bring their car
to this department and it will be
sold for them in a surprisingly short
time. This company sells cars on
commission or buys them from the
owner out right, or will exchange
touring cars for runabouts and vice
versa. They do not charge storage
on cars while they are left there to
be sold. Their terms for selling are
most reasonable. Mr.. FELTON,. the
manager of this department, told a
Telegraph reporter yesterday, ut ism t
necessary any longer for a business.
man to worry about selling his car.
If he really wants to sell and sell
quickly, just bring the car to them
and let them do the worrying over
the disposing of it, lie is a profess
sional in worrying over selling some
body else's car but the worry does not
last long as sometimes he sells them
before he has time to think of worry
ing.
Although the above department is
the most important at this garage,
there are several other departments
of much Importance to the owner of
car. There is about the largest
room for storage of cars of any gar
age in this city. The rates for stor-
age are very reasonable and as this
department is open night and day, 1t
makes the volume of business there
very large. Another department that
appeals to the man just buying a car.
or young men desiring to secure a
position as chauffeur. is that of the
schooling department. Here they
train young men to become practical
mechanics. They teach them every
thing that Is necessary to know about
car.
