IF WE HAD BUT DAY.
We shoald fill the hours with the weetest
things,
II we had but day;
We should drink alone at the purest springs
In our upward way:
We should lore with life-time's love in an
hour,
II the hours were few;
We should rest not for dreams, but for
fresher power,
To be and to do.
We should guide our Maynard or wearied
BY the clesrest light;
We should keep our eyes on the heavenly
hills,
II they lay in sight;
We should trample the pride and the dis
content
Beneath our feet:
We should take whatever a good God sent,
With q trust complete.
We should waste no moments in weak re-
greet,
If the day were but one;
II what we remember and what we forget,
Went out with the sun;
We should be from our clamorous selves set
free.
To work. or to pray,
And to be what the Father would have us be,
II we had but day.

OF the 10 territorial centers, the
Harroun Motors Corporation has
closed contracts and accepted cash
deposits from 73. The seventy
fourth contract has been accepted
and awaits only the final formality.
Motorist interest in the Harroun
plan centers on the unique assurance
of permanency in distributor repre-
sentation. Not only will the Harroun
line be sold by the same distributor,
year after year, but service arrange
ments will also remain in the same
hands.
A similar arrangement will also
hold true with the dealers who dis
tribute Harroun cars in the cities and
villages tributary to the centers
which maintain direct factory rela-
tionship. E. w. Shank. of this city,
has been selected at the Harroun
representative for this district and

Strategic Roads Are
Mapped For Government

Akron, Ohio. May 8. - In tele-
gram from its Los Angeles branch
the b. F. Goodrich Company has
been advised of the arrest of a man
who had applied for touring infor-
nation and road maps, but was later
proved to be German spy. His ar
rest was made on this charge and
he is being detained pending a
thorough investigation.
This startling development fol-
lowed closely upon the offer of the
complete resources of its National
Touring Bureau to the Government
by the b. f. Goodrich Company and
has caused both Goodrich and Gov
ernment officials to guard very close
ly the distribution of road maps and
other touring information.
With every important road in the
United States carefully mapped, log
ged and guide-posted this Touring
Bureau has Immediately available
for Government use the most essen
tial factor that could possibly be
used in the rapid transportation not
only of supplies but troops as we'll.
In confirming the reported arrest
of the man charged with being
German spy, one of the Goodrich Off
cials said: I'VE have for some time
realized the importance of the infor-
UldJlOH WHICH our Touring bureau
has gathered for the free use of the
American motorist. With this point
in mind this department was some
weeks ago made available to the
Government coincident with our
offer of its services. This not only
includes all maps, road logs and
other strategic information but also
embraces the use of our feet of
motor trucks and their crews who
have been erecting guide-posts
throughout the United States during
the past several years. Like all OF
the other departments in this huge
organization, the facilities of the Ma
tional Touring Bureau have been so
enlarged that the Government can
use it to the fullest extent, without
interfering with its services to the
American tourists who are right
fully entitled to the information
which it has been giving out"

PROSPERITY TO
BE GREATER
Manager of Local Packard
Branch Reviews Reasons
For Optimism

"The impetus which the great war
crisis has given to intensive farm
ing will promote the prosperity of
America far more than any adverse
influences of the struggle can depress
that prosperity" said B. B. Harring-
ton, manager of the Harrisburg office
of the Packard Motor Car Company,
of Philadelphia, in a review of the
business situation with reference to
truck production and distribution.
This means more grain, more of
every kind of farm products. Agri-
cultural communities will thrive, and
there will be increased hauling be-
tween the country centers and the
farms, and between the large cities
and the farming communities.
For this increased traffic, for bor-
der defense, and for other purposes,
there will be much road-building
done this season. City dwellers who
suddenly have had 1t impressed on
them that agriculture is the basic
| industry are also learning rapidly
| that this industry cannot be raised
to anything like efficiency without
an improvement in the roads. So on
ad-building as well as on farm
| ing we shall see close cooperation
| between city and country. Even
without road building for military
purposes, here is field of contract
| ing that will be full of activity this
summer.
"Shipyards that have been idle for
| years are reViving under the ener-
getic action of General G. w. Goe-
thals, as he sets about his program
| of a thousand 3,000-ton wooden
ships a year to carry food to Eng
land and France. This means not
only revival of business in all other
phases of shipbuilding, but a big
stimulus to all numbering operations.
Then there is all the transporta-
tion for a million armed men to be
taken care of. Everything they use
will have to be hauled, by rail, by
boat, and over longer or shorter
| hauls, by motor truck. AS we think
of the job this will be, we can thank
the Mexican border situation for
having brought out sos4e good rec
suits, chief among them, perhaps,
the reliability of our motor truck
manufacture.
"All these activities are interlock-
| ing. Everyone, in every line of pro-
ductive endeavor, is touched by
them in some way. Big business
cannot take a contract for q. million
pounds of bacon or a half-million
tents without little business having
its part to do in the supplying of
| the order.
mo doubt it is natural that the
vrst feeling on the outbreak of a
great war is one of uncertainty. But
when we have had time to survey
the strength that is in our prosperity,
that uncertainty gives way to a re-
| turning confidence that is stronger
than ever. That famous quotation
from the wisdom of the late ]. Pier
pont Morgan carries even more force
to-day-'Nobody can afford to be d
bean on America!'

Stevens Guards Are
Anxious to Do Their Bit

The Stevens Memorial Guards, of
the Stevens Memorial Methodist
Church, have offered their services to
help feed earth's hungry children.
At this time of world crisis they
are asking for an uncultivated lot
anywhere within the city limits or
close to it for the purpose of raising
food for hungry people. The supply
will be given to the city or State for
distribution. If any patriotic man
has a lot of ground to offer for a
task of that sort he can let it be
known to DIR. Clayton Albert Smuck-
er, 1911 Vernon street, Harrisburg.
More than two hundred and fifty
boys belong to the Guards and are
ready to "do their bit" in this way
for the n alton.

Harroun Output For
Five Years Is Sold

Motorists and the automobile trade
are equally interested in the an
nouncement from Detroit that the
Harroun Motors Corporation has, in
less than four months, completed the
