THE NEXT LIBERTY LOAN

NJ rstary ~ McSdoo oAs %AH in ostins 'sS the
Liberty Loan met with embar-
rassment and difficulty occasioned, as
they thought, by the fact that some
of those who were directing from
Washington were revealing too much
zeal, too great enthusiasm and too
little Judgment or knowledge of con-
ditions.
Our own bankers explain this by
saying that the offer of the Liberty
Loan was a new proposition, sudden
ly made in tho expectation that it
would be promptly accepted by the
people, but that the work was di-
rected by staff which was without
experience. Now, while a new loan,
possibly for $3,000,000, is under
consideration, Secretary McAdoo will
have the benefit of the lessons taught
when the first loan was offered. Since
the secretary was able to announce
that the Liberty Loan was over sub
scribed by a little more than 81 ,000,-
100000, men of finance began to give
careful consideration to what they
regarded rs the inevitable offer some
time in the autumn of a new loan
which might possibly exhaust the en-
lllS duInOTlZeQ CONGRESS,
namely $4,000. 100000.
Many have been the inquiries put
to bankers in this city which referred
to the rate of interest which Secre-
tary McAdoo might determine as the
expedient one to dominate on the
bond. But it has been invariab bly, OBJ
served that it is, at this time, not so
much a question of the rate of inter-
est as of thorough preparation for
offering the loan to the people. Many
of the organizations, voluntarily
created for the purpose of aiding the
secretary in placing the Liberty Loan
have been maintained so that they
may be ready to take up the work
of selling the new bonds. But the
chairman of all the organizations and
the men of influence as bankers are
persuaded that the new loan can be
/ floated even more easily than the
first.
Although there has been no final
analysis of the statistics which tell
the story of the floating of the Lib
erty Loan, yet it is the opinion COM
monty held in this city that the over
subscription of 81, 900, 900, 900 reflects
the heavy subscriptions made by the
banks. These subscriptions were thus
written because the banks were
anxious to feel assured that the Lib
erty Loan would be fully subscribed
and therefore were not taking any
chances that the popular subscription
would be sufficient.
The Value of Publicity

DAYToN,s CAMPAIGN

~ AYTON is now in the midst of
an energetic campaign for and
in the interest of the mainten-
ance of the city manager form of
government Great headway has
already been made since the change
few years ago from the old sys-
tenn and while certain political in
terests are doing their best to un-
horse the oity manager, the people
the new system shall not be lost to
Dayton.
In the July number of Town De-
velopment," a magazine devoted to
community betterment and improve
ment, Martin Keet, a former men,
Der of the TELEGRAPH staff, con-
tributes an article on the public
golf1ng facilities of Dayton, which
he describes as a welfare experiment
in which all the people of the Ohio
city are interested. Dayton has a
large-hearted and progressive citizen
in John H. Patterson, head of the
National Cash Register Company,
and he has earned the everlasting
gratitude of his fellow-citizens by
presenting Dayton with a great play
ground which was formerly the
country club of his employees. 1t is
now the Community Country Club
and is one of the most promising of
the municipal welfare activities.
This club is open to every man, wo-
man and child of Dayton and is op-
Grated and maintained by and for
the people. AS a community club it
is particularly inviting to the large
number of industrial and other en-
ployes who need the benefit of out
door recreation.
Harrisburg has a somewhat SINH
lar recreation ground in our great
Reservoir Park, but the Dayton plan
has been worked out on the basis of
community enterprise and the in
terest as a result is city-wide. There
is music and dancing and all sorts
of outdoor sports and the result has
been the general betterment of the
city and its people.
Probably no city in the country
was more in advance with respect
to public golf and tennis than Har-
risburg and there has been for some
time public discussion here of dane
ing in the open under municipal aus
pices, Anything which will increase
the contentment and happiness of
the community should be provided.
1t is for this reason that the civic
activities Of Harrisburg have always
embraced proper facilities for the
recreation of the people through the
parks, the Susquehanna Basin, the
public golf links and tennis courts
and the Fairgrounds for the chill
dren.
No other city has done more for
its men, women and children in A
comparatively short time than our
own beautiful home city on the Sus-
quehanna. But we can always learn
something from other municipali-
ties and even in these war times we
must be awake to the importance of
providing for the health and com
fort and pleasure of the people.

On the Front Line
IPhiladelphia Record. ]

All honor TO Harrisburg, Wilkes
Barre, Lancaster and Union county,
which have already supplied so many
men to the military service of Uncle
sam that they will not be called
upon to furnish any more under the
selective draft! This is a remarkable
record, of which those communities
may we'll be proud. Many others did
nearly as well. though they didn't
reach the honor roll. York, for in
stance, whose quota is 446 conscripts
under the draft, has already given
AS volunteers to the government, so
that only II men will taken from it
Easton, Williamsport, Allentown and
Scranton also did remarkably we'll.

Hamburg and Hurbug

Isaac Taylor in his Words and
Places" says that during the last
century false political rumors were
so often propagated from Hamburg,
then the chief port of communication
with Germany. that "a piece Of Ham
burg news" came to be proverbial
expression for a canard, and this was
pared down into the modern term
"humbug." If we did not have the
word before in English we would
sadly need it now for some of the
news that has been coming from
Germany during the last few weeks
at least.-New York Herald.

wv ing nicely they are often
attacked by a tiny yellow
thrip, causing a whitening or
blasting of the leaves. Thrips
suck the green chlorophyl from
the plants. and prevent growth

leaves or in protecting folds.
Spray with nicotine solution

watch for first appearance, and
