CHARITIES BOARD
TO OUTLINE WORK
Will Plan to Raise Funds For
Winter Demands at Meet
ing September Is

Plans for the winter work of the
Associated Charities of Steelton, will
be outlined at a meeting to be held
in the headquarters, Room 6, Steel
ton Trust Company building, Mon
day evening, September IS.
During the summer months no
meetings have been held and most OF
Marie Wizemann, the associations in
vestigator. Last winter the organic
alton held regular meetings and hand
led the borough's charitable work
with facility.
The association contemplates a
campaign to raise funds for the COM
ing winters work and a number of
suggestions have been made. Some
members favor a Charity Ball, others
a benefit theatrical performance and
still others want a straight subscrip-
ton canvass.
when conditions in the borough were
critical, the Associated Charities was
at hrst composed of a handful of local
businessmen who furnished most OF
the funds and directed their distri-
button. During that winter the COM
mittee operated a 'souphouse." Later
1T was decided to place all charity
work under one head and the pres
ent organization was formed.

silent if the big advertisers wanted
something, or that the earpiece
would Indignantly be stuffed with
cotton?
Let us be specific. In a certain
citythere are seven large daily news
papers that accept advertising. There
are five or six establishments that
hand out most Of the advertising.
This advertising totals between two
and three millions of dollars every
year. without this two or three mil
lions of dollars most of the seven
newspapers, as they are now run,
would show losses. Some of them
would probably suspend publication.
In other words, this two or three mil
lions of dollars annually is very
largely the life-blOod of the daily
press in this city that have in mind.
The publishers of these seven news
papers have an association, and the
establishments that give them the
several millions every year also have
an association AS far as the people
who live in this city to which I refer
can Judge, the two associations seem
to get along pretty well together. The
papers seem to protect the advertis-
ers, and in return the advertisers
protect the papers by refusing to give
any part Of the two or three millions
of dollars to any other papers. It is
even a matter of street talk that the
association whose members control
this advertising life-blOOd have
signed and sealed agreement with
the association Of publishers that no
competing paper will ever be permit
ted to grow up in the community be-
cause it viii never be given any adj
vertisng. This sort of thing natUr-
ally discoUrages men who might wish
to give the community real news
paper embarrassed. Money doesn't
care to invest itself, as a rule, where
the chances of losing are better than
those of gain.

glasses Of a very limited number Of
men, whose interests cannot be SYM
pathetic with those of the great mass
of the men and women, many of
whom are being cruelty exploited by
them.
Il believe in freedom of the press,
but if we are to have it there must be
an absolute divorce of news and adj
vertising. In Chicago we have had
for three years, and more, an expert
ment in an adless newspaper, run
on a commercial basis, for a profit.
It is the most important experiment
in public service in America today. If
it succeeds, it will be initiated; and
each fresh imitation in turn must
ring absolutely true to the people to
win it's success. This naturally
would spell the doomsday of the big
advertisers influence on the press.
cit is worthy Of notice that the
viewpoints of the adIess newspaper
in Chicago on men and measures are
generally the very reverse of the
viewpoints of the big newspapers that
accept advertising"
Although the meeting at which the
acknowledgement spoke was ''coV-
cred" by reporters from the big loop
papers, their reports apparently were
killed" by someone higher up, as
not a single trust paper carried a line
of what Mr.. O'Hara said, thus in
actual practice proving up his
charges of a restricted press.

Recounted the Vote.


The Jefferson County Court sitting as a
board of canvassers was in session Tues
day and Wednesday to recount the bal
lois cast by the Republican voters OF the
county at the primary election June 6
The recount was made al the instance Of
Attorney General A. A. Lilly. candidate
for The nomination for Governor against
Judge Ira Robinson. The former was
represented by Attorneys Geo. M. Beltz-
hoover, Jr., and Forrest w. Brown, while
Judge Robinson had John L. Hickman,
of Grafton. The net result OF The re-
count gave Judge Robinson one vote
more than was given him in the primary
election returns. Gains for General Lilly
at one precinct would be offset by losses
at another, so that the boards labors
were of very little advantage TO either
side. An examination OF the election
records showed some irregularities on
the part of election officials, due probably
to their inexperience with the new pri-.
mary law. AT one precinct there was no
evidence that an oath had been admins
tered to any Of the election officers, while
at another the oath was improperly taken.
The court refused 10 order the circuit
clerk to produce the affirmation books
tor the purpose of going further with the
investigation, holding that if contest
was instituted by either side court would
have that work TO do.-AdVOcdte.

Bakerton, June 26, 1916.
Editor Register-We had very i'm
pressive service here Tuesday evening,
when our pastor, Rev. E. w. Aaron. called
the congregation together to break ground
for our new church. We assembled on
the church lot, and aftersinging and prayer
and an address by our pastor, ground was
broken by Brother c. ID. Carter, followed
by the members of the building commit
tee and board OF trustees. Then every
one present was asked to take part in
removing the earth. Everybody took
part except three children, who were TOO
iimid. Brother James w. Hoffman, 63
years old, was the Oldest person TO take
part, and little Randall Carter was the
youngest, being 2 ID years-he was foo
small to handle shovel, but carried the
earth out in his hands. II was very
impressive service.
We are at work on the foundation. Mr..
Phillips, OF Charles Town. is the con-
tractor, at something over $1,000. We
hope before long TO have building that
will be a monument TO this community
and blessing to the people OF Bakerlon,
and where we can worship Almighty
God in true holiness. X.

A Severe storm.

One OF The most severe storms Of the
season passed over this section Tuesday
night. Vivid lightning and fearful crashes
OF thunder were accompanied by torrents
of rain, and many persons were nervous
until the storm passed away. Fortunate
ly there was no wind, and the standing
wheat was not materially damaged. In
the midst OF the storm the electric lights
all went out and lamps and candles had
to be resunected.
During the storm lightning struck the
barn on the farm OF Charles A. Ecklider,
tenanted by Ruttlven w. Morrow, a couple
of miles northwest OF town, and while the
building was damaged considerably, it
miracuIously escaped destruction. The
bolt struck tie barn in one corner and
knocked off a number of boards, besides
splintering several rafters and making
hole in the roof The electricity seems
to have been carried off by the rainspout.
