secretary of the Municipal League of
this city, in an address yesterday aft
ernoon to the League of Third Glass
Cities. told the many visiting city Of
hcials that this municipality is full
of civic slackers."
we have plenty of men here who
are willing, to die for their country
more than our quota-but we
haven't men who are willing to live
for their country and for their city
We have too many civic slackers,
men who are afraid to be candidates
Tor public office, fearing the critl-
cisms of the public.
Public Trust Betrayed
Harrisburg is facing the worst
crisis since it's awakening fifteen
years ago." Mr.. Mcfarland went on.
For the first time in all these years
public trust has been betrayed.

have entrusted to them property
valued at S50.000,OO0 which they

the people of the city have four
school directors to elect, and it is un-
fortunate for the city that men of
higher caliber have not signified
their intention of becoming candi-
dates for election"
Mr.. McFarland's remarks created
an impression on the many officials,
as they coincided with those of an
other speaker who earlier in the ses-
sions deplored the difficulty Council
has had to find men who are cap
able of holding public office and who
are willing to accept the position and
serve the people. 1t was intimated

declined to consider the appointment
to fill a vacancy.
Harrisburg Then
During his address on The Awak-
ening of HARRISBURG" Mr.. McFar-
land first told the delegates of the
filthy conditions existing here fifteen
years ago; the campaign which was
waged to begin the improvements,
and the results and success of haV-
ing expert advice and following it,.
Views were shown of the city's paved
streets, parks, Fairgrounds and other
big developments. During this talk
he mentioned the school board situa-
ton in connection with the high
school development campaign but in
the latter part of his address spoke
more fully on the situation.
Mr.. Mcfarland was preceded by
William d. B. Ainey, chairman of
the Public Service Commission;
Cyrus D. Foss, Jr., Philadelphia, an
expert on civil service questions, and
George C. Klauder, referee of the
Philadelphia Workmen's Compensa-
tion Board.
Because of the recent civil serV-
ice enactments in the Legislature,
the address by Mr.. Foss on Civil
Service Administration in Cities of
the Third Class" proved a big help
to the many visiting otiiclalS, num-
Der of whom are working in coop
Grafton with their civil service conf
missioners in framing rules for cN-
aminations of men for places on the
police force.
More than one hundred persons
attended the banquet at the palm
room of the Elks' Club last night.
Acting Mayor William l.. Gorgas was
toastmaster, calling on number of
the delegates and guests for short
addresses. Among the speakers were
David E. Tracy, president of the
Harrisburg Chamber of Commerce,
who told of the efforts of many of
the chambers in the state to have
amendments to the Clark act passed.
Others who spoke were Mr.. Ainey,
Commissioner f. u. Gross, Mayor
A. NJ. Hoagland. Williamsport, and
w. ]. Hamor, Altoona. Music was
furnished by Weber's orchestra.

partment last year will teach the
new subjects which will include
sanitation and hygiene, and the do

pupils than desks in both the morn
ig and afternoon sessions when

the political ambitions and aspira-

far influence their action as to SET
at naught the work of this body

vital amendments to the Clark law.
Second, we do hereby declare that

here register our protest against the

INvE MIssIvE PACKED IN ICE

Calexico, Cal. - Despite the fact
that it was sent halfway across the
continent packed in ice. an ardent
love message on a cantaloupe wrapper
found it's way into the heart of Miss
Rosetta Saylor. of Mattoon. Ill
1t was sent by Hugh w. Willis, of
Calexico. Recently they were issued
a marriage license by County Clerk
Cook, and it is understood the nup-
tials took place.
Willis was engaged in the canta-
loupe business at Heber last year. A
sudden impulse drove him to write on
the inside of one of the wrappers: ITO
the girl who gets this-write to lonely
Hugh White Willis. Calexico, Cal"
Not two weeks elapsed before Will
lis got letter from his bride-to-be.
