GOUGING THE PUBLIC

According to the New York Com
mercial, the public is being uncon-
scionably gouged by wholesalers and
retailers or necessities oil lie. 1t Is
making some revelations which are
of interest in the hope that Mr..
Hoover can put a stop to profiteer-
ing. On the whole. 1t considers the
retailer the great offender, but the
manufacturer and jobber also come
in for blame. The manufacturer
faces heavy increases in all kinds
of taxation and he Is never sure as
to the cost of raw materials in the
future. He has marked up his rates,
which in some instances are declared
to be unfair, but the retailer goes
him one better.
No one doubts the accuracy of
these statements, but the situation is
very difficult one. When there is
heavy demand and uncertain future
most business men are inclined to
charge as much as they can get.
With luxuries there Is less complaint,
because most persons can do with
out them, but the actual necessities
of life are growing so expensive that
the wage-earner is suffering and but
for the fact that the average fam
lily income is larger because of high
er wages, the situation would be in
tolerable.-Philadelphia Enquirer.
Harrisburg telegraph. [volume] (Harrisburg, Pa.) 1879-1948, 1917-12-14
CAMELS

You may talk of horses, of tho wild
and speedy mares,
Thunderars fire-footed, where the
prophets weapon fares,
Saracens and Afghans out the high
way of Jehad;
Give me strings of camels on the
road of Astrabad!
Camels and professions on the road
to Bagdad town,
Drawn like notes of music on the
desert, gold and brown;
Do, re, mel count them as they
string along in line,
Laden with their treasure chests and
jars of Syrian wine.
Dream your wiry mustangs in the
sage and chaparral,
Broncho busters on the plains ana
ponies by the wall;
Horse dealers and horse stealers my
heart cannot commando;
1 have strings of camels on the road
to Samarkand!
Orderly and dutiful, the little door
of years
Opens up in wonder land; the camel
train appears.
Who that knows the gorgeous East
their magic can withstand
Velvet-footed camels on the road to
Samarkand!
Will Thompson in the Century
Magazine.

THE DAYS OF NoAH,s ARK

THE days of the Noahs Ark, the
tin gee-gee, the toy engine and
train! How we who have out
grown the period of the Christmas
stocking look back upon them with
reminiscent smiles that are half sighs
and tugs at the heart that are half
thrills half pain. Dear days of Santa
Claus and Christmas trees, of joys
untinged by the cares and SORROWS
the years bring. Dear days; dead
days, we sometimes think.
But they are not dead, no indeed!
They're only sleeping, and very light
ly at that, for those of us with young
folks about the house, or grandchil-
dren Homecoming for the holidays,
or even for those who must go out
into the highways and byways to find
the little folks whose homes are so
humble that they escape ofttimes
even the watchfuI eye OF good old
Santa Claus. And they can be
brought back from the land of
dreams to the reality of the pres
ent without any of the painful jolts
that the ghosts of Christmas Past,
Present and Future found necessary
to jar Old Scrooge loose from his
anti-Christmas moorings. If you will
Just let the spirit of the past work
within your bosom this evening for
an hour or two as you sit by the
fire awaiting the clock on the mantle
to notify you of bedtime.
Cast your mind back to the days
when the smell of spruce spelt
Christmas to you and when you
wouldn't have traded the unex-
plored Christmas stocking for mil
lion dollars in gold piled high on
the old kitchen floor; when the
Noah's Ark elephants that looked
like lambs, the pigs that resembled
dogs, and Mr.. Noah who looked ex-
actly like Mrs. Noah, were more
precious than a real, live men,
agerie would be to-day, when the
tin gee-gee was a charger bold and
The toy engine and train trundled
unconcernedly up hill and down dale
across the oilcloths and over the
rugs, propelled by your own trusty
right arm and putting gusty ex-
hausts from your own lusty lungs.
Great business, wasn't It?
And the Noah's Ark, and the tin
gee-gee and the toy train and cars
are just the same to-day as they
were then. If there is anything
changed it is somewhere inside
yourself. The remedy lies also
within yourself. Christmas is the
child's holiday, and so you cannot
enjoy Christmas fully unless you do
SO as a child. and as you become as
one of these" so do you practice best
the doctrines of the Great Founder
of Christmas. It's an experiment
worth trying, and you've no idea
how enjoyable the trying of it can
he.

RED CROSS KNIGHTS

l will be a Red Cross knight!
] will wear the sign!
I will help the goodly fight
With the strength that's mine.
Some may blow the stirring fife,
. Some may win a sword,
Some may give a precious life
Fighting for the Lord.
But at home my task is plain
Not the field for me,
Yet with heart and hand and brain
Soldier 1 may be!
L may knit and sew and fold;
i may save and give
Pennies, dollars, notes or gold
That our boys may live.
Take the Cross and lend hand
In the godly fight,
Children of gallant land.
Each a Red Cross knight
--Abbie Farwell Brown, of the
Vigilantes, in the Worcester Times.

DON'T PROPHESY

There's a boy in our town perhaps
that grown folks don't think much
Of because he's always getting into
mischief. Grown folks have a way
of looking at such fellows as bad
eggs, and pretty soon they manage
to give them regulations which
really hurt. We've known of cases
where parents wouldn't let such q
boy come around their house to play
with their boy. And they prophesy
that the boy in question will never
amount to anything. Right there
they want to look out. We've known
fellows of that description who when
they got at the business of life made
it buzz and finished three leaps and
jump ahead of the rest of the
bunch. There's n heap of difference
between badness and freshness.
There's az lot of difference between
meanness and mischief. And don't
you ever forget it.-From the Amer
lean Boy,

CAPTURE OF JERUSALEM

A MERICANS who have not stud
n led closely the eastern situation
with respect to the war are not
in position to understand or appre-
ciate the vast Importance that will
be attached to the capture by the
British of Jerusalem, in Russia, the
balkans and even in some parts of
Austria and Germany, where re-
ligious convictions are deep and
where the redemption of Jerusalem
from the infidel has been for years
q household prayer and as strong
desire in the heart of the wor-
shipper as it was in the days of
the Crusaders.
Germany understood this passion
for Christian possession of the Holy
City, as witness the Kaiser's s.
churches and hospitals there, but as
usual the German play to the people
had its basis in military prepared
ness, for it has been charged and
not denied that the well-placed
imperial buildings were all con-
structed so as to be turned into
fortresses at days notice. This
catering to religious feeling was good
politics on the Kaiser's part, the
effect of which has been dissipated
by the ununderstandable desertion
of the Turks by the Germans, who

OUR SHIPPING DANGERS

The American Shipping Boards
theory for getting rid of the U-boat
ravages is building more ships than
the submarines can destroy. AS Mr..
Colly, a member of the board, says
1.-The solution is found in the enor-
nous shipbuilding program OF the
United States" That is as much as
to say, the submarines ravages can
only be met by building more ships
than it can destroy. This, Mr.. Colby
says, is successfully going on, and
next year there will be more ships
than the submarines can destroy.
The unfortunate feature connected
with this sinking of ships is that
they may have cargoes of food and
munitions that cannot be so easily
rebuilt as the ships.
1t does seem that a sufficient
amount of money has been spent on
the Navy to establish a line of de-
stroyers and submarines across Ger
many's prohibitive sea zone to pro-
tect our shipping going that way.
The great dreadnoughts don't figure
much in this war. The destroyers
might. More transports are needed,
of course, but along with them more
protection is needed to prevent the
holes Germany is making in our
shipping.-Ohio State Journal.
