 'Dr. Stoddard was rector of St. Marks for seven years. from Easter 1886 to Easter 1893. Since he came here he has lived almost exactly one cycle of Easters lasting thirty years. He was a faithful, indefatigable pas tor, full of missionary zeal and not only cared for those already mem bers of his own church and nationality, but sought and brought in many of our most valuable families of foreign birth, whose descendants are good churchmen and women and good

Says: "Often Brings on Attacks of
 Acute Reumatism.'
 An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure, and people who are subject to attacks of rheumatism should never go to bed with cold feet.
 A whole lot is being said about talk ing salts and effervesing tablets for rheumatism and sciatica, but those who suffer sharp twinges and painful swollen joints need something power ful to overcome their piteous suffer- ing.
 Any broad-minded druggist will tell you that one-half teaspoOnful of Rheuma taken once a day is driving more rheumatism out of afflicted peo- pie than all the salts on earth. Right in this neighborhoOd Clark & Brain erd Go. and all druggists sell large quantities of it, and it's the surest and most inexpensive remedy-about 50 cents a bottle.

ROMANS WIN IN
ACADEMY SERIES
Take Game From Greeks After
Hard Battle; Moore Is
Big Star

The Romans of the Harrisburg
Academy defeated the Greeks yester-
day afternoon by the decisive score of
So to Al. The game was one of the
most exciting that Academy teams
have participated in this season. This
victory gives the Roman team the
series, as they defeated their oppo-
nents in the first game several weeks
ago. This series of games counts five
points on the yearly cup.
Twenty halves were played,
and from the very start the Romans
went into the lead. The first half was
nothing but one score after the other
for the winning team and ended finally
with the points in favor of the Ro-
mans by 81 to s. In the second half
the Greeks braced and outscored their
rivals by two points.
Moore, of the Romans, led in the
individual scoring with eleven field
goals opposite his name. All the Ro-
mans were high scorers, excepting
Wallis, who played an excellent guard
ing game. Roth was high poitn man
for the defeated side with five field
goals and six fouls to his credit The
lineup and summary follow:

MORE FORESTRY
LAND IS NEEDED
Western County Men Urge
Legislature TO Provide
More Preserves

The first gun has been fred by the
Wild Life League in a campaign to
enlist the organized support of every
camp of the League for forestry meas
ures to come before the next Legisla-
ture. The Meadville and Franklin
camps of Crawford and Nenango
counties passed unanimously resolu-
tion which, after reciting the need for
forestry practice in their communities
and in the State at large, guarantees
their united support to the Depart
ment of Forestry in its efforts to stop
forest fires and reforest waste lands,
pledges them to secure from every
candidate for the Legislature definite
statement of his stand on forestry and
states that the resolution will be con-
sidered official business for the action
of every camp of the league in the
State.
The league has made phenomenal
growth in the few years it has been
organized. 1t is one of the two chief
sportsmen's organizations of the state.
the other being the United Sports
mems Association. The combined
membership of these two associations
is close to 10000. They are not a
haphazard collection of hunters and
fishers. but are a body definitely or
ganized for definite purposes. 1t has
been brought home to them through
their efforts TO secure game and fish
protection that the first essential is to
provide a safe home for wild life, and
that the only way to it is through the
ractiCe of forestry.
Because of their thorough organiZa-
| ton, these sportsmen have been very
successful in securing the needed
/ legislation for game protection. Their
united support will be one of the
strongest acquisitions the forestry
movement could possibly have.
The resolution declares that five
million acres of land within the Com
monwealth of Pennsylvania is lying
unproductive as a result of forest
| fires and repeated devastation of
woodlands by fire tends to render
meaningless efforts for the protection
and propagation of game, fish, song
and insectivorous birds in these re-
gions. 1t is also held that an addi-
tional nine million acres in this Com
monwealth is, by reason of lack of
knowledge on the part of the owners,
producing only a fraction of the value
which it ought to produce.
| The leagues will require of each
| candidate for the Legislature from
these districts a statement as to his
position on the subject of forestry in
| PENNSYLVANIA.
