A we'll known Morris business man
has hit upon novel scheme to in
crease the popularity of one of his
staple lines. In a few days he will
hang nickel on the door knob of
every residence in the city. The
nickel will be in the shape of st.. a
coupon good for five cents worth of
his commodity. He estimates that
there are nine hundred homes in
Morris and he expects to decorate
each front door. The cost of dis
tribution, advertising ana the stock
to be given away will amount to an
outlay of about seventy five dollars.
The most talked of store window in
Morris the past days is that of the
Walz hardware store in the new Mer-
chants hotel annex. The novelty of
its display has been most compelling,
especially to hunters. 1t is designed
to attract public attention to the
sportsmen's department of the store.
A miniature duck pond occupies one
corner of the window while hunting
lodge nestles comfortably on its shore.
The scene produced is work of art
and credit therefor is due to John
Eul and Norbert Walz. Not since
hardware millinery display a year ago
has the store received so many COM
pliments on it's decorative art.

Is 1t Man or Insect?

We think about and talk about our
home on Mother Earth,
We seem to be so welcome here no
telling what we're worth.
We sing about our midget moon and
his soft silvery ray
a bit of solar light hurled back from
China's golden day.
To stern old flaming Father Sun we
offer welcome praise,
For his magnetic power and for
Earth's glad nights and days.
We thank him for retaining us in his
gigantic race,
And Whirling us around him as he
rolls along through space.
Mans notion is that everything for
his sake was invented,
But who can prove that man, at best,
is not a bit demented?
And who can swear that Mother
Earth. with just the right advice
Would not get rid of us as we, some
times get rid of lice?
Perhaps 7 ought to be ashamed such
thoughts to entertain,
But then l can't get free from them,
I've tried and tried in vain.
I'm not convinced that earthquakes
and tornados in the West,
Are not her maddest efforts to annihi-
late us pests.
Perhaps she thinks to drive us out
the thunder storms enough,
But since we've no place else to go,
were pretty hard to bluff
may be wrong--I hope / am-but
ever since election,
Despite my will, my thoughts drift
this unorthodox direction.

SOME LESSONS FROM SUGAR

/ ME present n1Rn cost OIL living
serves to make people think
upon economic problems. The
high price now being paid for sugar,
for example, has made the production
very profitable during the past year;
but while this is true, there is much
significance in the announcement from
Ottawa, Ohio. that the sugar plant at
that place, which was built in 1912
and closed in 1914 after the passage
be reopened.
1t will be remembered that the I'm
derwood tariff law reduced the duty
on sugar and proposed to put that
commodity on the free list on May 1,
1915. Many Louisiana sugar produc-
ers went into bankruptcy and num-
ber of beet sugar factories in northern
States were closed. The consumer got
his sugar no cheaper.
Finally realizing their mistake, the
Democrats repealed the provision
placing sugar on the free list, and the
war, which shut off expectations from
Germany, opened new markets to the
United States, with the result that the
price went up.
While the American consumer is
now playing a high price for sugar on
account of the war. he is reminded
of the fact that American sugar pro-
ducers were going out of business un-
der the Democratic tariff law before
the war began.

tor preached to them a sermon just

these Pilgrims were before the world,
but humble and prayerful before God.
The great gathering of Methodist
men here to-day we'll illustrates how

cheney and boastfulness, men are turn
ing toward God, seeking fright way
for us, and for our children, and for

City Manager For New York

A prediction was made at the reg
ular Saturday luncheon of the City
Club yesterday by Richard S. Childs
who presided, that New York will
some day be under the city manager
plan of government, and he intro
duced as principal speaker II. M.
waite, now city manager of Dayton,
Ohio, who, he said, might some day
have a similar job here.
Mr.. Waite told in detail how the
city manager plan has worked out in
Dayton. He praised it for it's efficiency
and nonpartisanship. He told how
overlapping duties of various city de-
partments had been Strengthened out.
For instance, there were three sets of
visiting nurses. These We're put under
one head, overhead cost was reduced
and efficiency increased. Ultimately,
he said, Dayton will take over all
tested philanthropic work, making
private charity unnecessary except in
experimental fields.
Politicians wept when a manager
was called in from another city, he
said, but the people have managed to
survive the blow. He told how the
water system had been improved, and
an annual deficit for inadequate serv-
ice had been changed into an annual
profit of $4,000 with satisfactory ser
vice. Improved methods Of garbage
disposal have reduced the death rate
for babies. A city purchasing agent has
saved all along the line. The legal aid
work has eliminated the loan shark,
and the work in correctional institu-
uons Is doing wonders in making
prisoners self-sustaining.

a debt load of S5,00O,000. with in

sinking fund, with no diminution in
advisable activities. and is now on a
sound financial basis.--New York Sun

YOUTH AND THE MAN

CIXTY miles on his bicycle was
y the treat Harrisburg man
offered himself yesterday in cele-
bration of his sixtieth birthday.
Many q man many years younger
would have looked upon such a jour-
ney as a severe hardship. 1t all lies
with the individual. Youth is not near
ly SO much a matter of years as it is
one of habits. The man who is young
in his mind, who keeps his body
ye uthful by healthful exercise and
wholesome food and clean living.
never grows old. The man who burns
himself up by early excesses is an old
man at thirty and a tottering wreck
at fifty - If he lives so long.
There is no better way to keep
young than to live as boys live. Lots
of exercise, good, plain, substantial
food, love of outdoors and love of
fellowmen are better than all the
Turkish baths. "health foods" ''re-
ducing systems and physicians pre-
scriptions ever devised.
But there are few who have the
WILL " oO Will tuey hIlOW tiley OuShI
to do. When this Harrisburger went
riding yesterday he took with him a
lad of nineteen. Why? Because men
of his own age were teetering to and
from their work in street cars or tot
tering about with canes soft of
muscle and growing old in spirit.
There ought to be nothing remark
able in any man of sixty riding a
bicycle sixty miles. 1t ought to be
the ordinary instead of the extra
ordinary thing. Possibly when fifty
of every hundred, instead of one of
every hundred, men learn the virtue
that lies in the city's golf links and
along the pleasant paths of the
municipal parks, the siXty-year-old
youth will become so common that
comment upon his boyish
capers will be no longer worth while. |

WELFARE AND EFFICIENCY

TIME welfare and efficiency con-
ference which opened here to-
day is we'll named-for upon
the welfare of the worker and the in
dustry for WHICH he labors depends
the efficiency of the worker and the
efficiency of the industry in the econo-
mic life of the community.
We are apt to look upon welfare"
work too much from a single stand
point--that of the employe alone.
Greedy, or careless, manufacturers,
needless of anything but immediate re-
suits, used to pay small attention to
the human units of their factories and
mills. They thought much of me-
chanical efficiency, but very little of
the necessity of keeping the man
power up to top notch. Men were
pate their strength recklessly, and
everybody, even the men themselves,
took it as matter of course.
1t was necessary, then, as it is now
to less extent, to institute measures
to guard the human element against
came to mean alone the welfare of the
worker. But in recent years there has
come to the attention of the working
man the thought that there is another
side to the welfare" problem-that
of the manufacturer. Intelligent lead
ers of labor are coming moro and
more to see that wages and steady en-
ployment depend largely upon the
profitable operation of industry That
is not new thought, but 1t is one that
needs to be more and more impressed
upon the community.
Every man who spends his income
or the bulk of it, to increase the pro-
ducing capacity of the community
rather than to cater to his own wants
or luxuries should be encouraged.
The spendthrift who wastes his pat
rimony in riotous living is a parasite
and an enemy of society, because he is
wasting it's resources. The man who
uses his income or his inheritance to
build factories to clear land, to con-
struct railroads, or in any of the
thousand and one ways by which hu-
manity is enabled to live better and
civilization is advanced, increases not
alone his own wealth but the wealth
of society as a whole. The more such
a man earns for himself-always con-
sidering that he is operating within a
reasonable profit-the better mankind
as whole is for his operations.
The welfare of such man must be
considered quite as much as the well
fare of the worker-important though
that is. The welfare of the worker
and the welfare of the employer are
interdependent. Welfare and efiicien-
cy go hand in hand and all classes
of society should be the beneficiaries.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
On the Hike

70 the Editor of the Telegraph:
Will you kindly insert this in your
evening paper:
FL Paso, Tex, Oct. 30.-This poetry
vas composed by myself while on II
'our-day hike, over one OF the danger
,us mountains down here:
THE HIKE
At q little social meeting,
OF some officers one night,
An argument was started
Which ended in u hike.
Regular army officers
Who We're shooting all the CUFF,
Got a trifle overheated
And our general called the bluff.
So line of march was mapped out,
4 time limittalso set
And il there was q wager made,
Our general won the bet.
Then we started out TO show them
That true soldiers can't be stopped
Where he led us we would follow
"TWaS He'll" but no one dropped.
Blisters were thick upon our feet,
Many shoes were filled with blood,
One drop of water in our throat,
Would have made adoby mud.
We marched by day and marched
by night,
The wagons were behind,
Mules had dropped by the wayside,
And we were nearly blind.
But our spirits were undaunted,
There was no such thing as quit,
We made it on the schedule,
And again we proved our grit.
You can talk about your soldiers,
But the guardsmen of to-day.
Are the boys who have no equal
The boys from "Grand Old Pa"
