EVERYBODY HAS 1T
BY Wing DInger

You've been reading OF the doings
or the bunch that's been away
Boosting Harrisburg each minute
Since the day ere yesterday.
There is not much I can add to
w you've read about the trip.
But there's one thing on which people
in tie burg should take this tip.
We have got to cut out talking
Bout pure water and in lieu
OF that argument we've used, bo,
Substitute one that is new.
For in every town we went to
We learned that it had the brand
OF that stun called aqua pura
Known as ''purest in the land"

young men who may be depended upon
to take care of themselves, and, in the
deplorable event of war, could be
called upon by the government.
To oppose the drill because it might
be the means of melting the youth of
the land to war is ridiculous. The eX-
perience of Boston, of Washington and
of the State of Wyoming leaves that
contention no leg to stand on.

The Skating Craze

Ice skating - the good old
wholesome sport of our forefath-
ers. has now become q fad.
Everybody Is doing it.
Sales of skates and acces-
sories have been larger this sea-
son that in many years.
Factories have been hard press
ed to keep up with demands.
Have you all the equipment
you need for the fun enjoyment
of the popular and invigorating
sport ?
If not, the advertising columns
of the Telegraph may help you in
making a choice.

THE NEW COUNTRY CLUB

OUTDOOR recreation and country
club life have become so much
part of the activities of Har-
risburg people that the announce
ment of the plan of the committee of
the Country Club of Harrisburg to
erect n handsome new clubhouse and
tolay outa commodious golf course and
tennis courts is a matter interesting
everyone in the community. The plans,
as announced in another column to-
night, will doubtless be ratified by the
membership of the organization,
which was the first country club to
be formed in this part of the State.
and the city can look forward to the
establishment of u clubhouse which
will be a big factor in the social af-
fairs of the States capital.
The site optioned by the committee
in charge is declared by competent
authorities to be admirably adapted
for the construction of house and
grounds in keeping with the import
ance of Harrisburg and the plans of
the committee, which call for compile
ton OF the new house in less than a
year and a half. will receive as they
should, the hearty support of the our
people. The carrying out of the pro-
gram will rebound to the credit not
only of the club but of Harrisburg.

Senator Tillman, of South Carolina,
says that Josephus Daniels (of North
Carolina) is one of the greatest Secre-
taries of the Navy this country ever
had. Doubtless Mr.. Daniels (of North

end to the historic exchanges between
the Governors of North and South Caro-

The price of booze has risen. The

all other requirements now has to

rhree cents OF this sum go to the
transportation company and the re-

the latter has received $500. The eX-

slight expense to the procuring of al
coholic beverages. 1t became actually
operative Monday.
Attorneys of the railroads wrote
The express company Sunday that the
new law was in force, but the word
was not received until after ten pack
ages had been delivered Monday.
To avoid the complications of book
keeping which would have resulted
Judge McAlpin agreed yesterday to
stand the trifling 70 cents loss when
he records of Mondays deliveries
were filed at the Ordinary's office.
