Our Mental Apathy

We're unprepared! OF course we
are, but that is not a hopeless bar
to preparation if we would use all
our means in making good. But
there is something worse with us, q
something much more dangerous
than unpreparedness, for we are
numbered by mental apathy. Our
bodies are in good repair to meet
conditions anywhere; not so our
minds, which will not wake to real
ize the grave mistake of our mac
ton when the call sounds loudest for
us. one and all. to mobilize our
brains and Drawn before the winning
time is gone. We know conditions;
we can see; but in our mental apathy
we cannot seem to understand the
peril menacing our land, the land we
love, but are so slow to give the
strength for it to go the way ap-
pointed unto it II every one will do
his bit. Our flesh is strong, our
spirit weak, and paths of pleasant
ness we seek, forgetting that the road
which leads to victory and peace
must needs be rough and hard, but
that the gain will more than pay for
all it's pain. Herein the gravest dam
ger lies, for we are sure to lose thu
prize unless at all times. strong be-
hind our bodies. is the proper mind.
The spirit moves: that is the God

WHAT THE BUSINESS MAN
SAW IN THE BACK YARD
By w. F. French, in "The Nations Business

it.) But he thought the idea rather
silly. However, when he got home
that night he found that our club
had telephoned to his wife and out
lined our plan to her. Soon she was
one of our most enthusiastic men,
bers, and brought her husband into
the fold.
THE results? At the end of the
season they showed an actual net
profit of $39, besides cutting their
household expenses about $50. The
husbands health was restored and
his vigor renewed. He went into his
work a new man. Since then he
has been promoted twice and is now
making more than ever before in
his life. He is easily twice as valu-
able to us as he was year ago, and
is considered one of the best men
on our general force.
That man is only one of many
that the club has saved for us. We
have watched its work and tabu-
lated the results, and 1 can freely
say that in nine cases out of ten the
men who Joined the club have in
creased in value to us from % to
800 per cent, depending upon the
state of their health and their atti-
t1de toward their employers at the
time of entering the club. When 1t

employees, the club is in class by
ITSELF
THAT is the opinion generally ex-
pressed by business men of the gar
den clubs organized among their
employees. The plan is simple. The
employers furnish the land, and
each member enjoys the privilege of
using one of the small garden plots
for the raising of vegetables or
flowers for home use or for SALE
The membership fee, usually about
fifty cents. is just enough to cover
the cost of the implements fur
nished to the member The average
family takes two memberships, one
for the husband and one for the
wife. And sometimes they are taken
out for the children.
Ordinarily each plot can, by
careful cultivation, be made to pro-
duce about sixty dollars worth of
truck. Thus family with two
memberships can grow over a hun
dred dollars worth of garden stuffs
season."

MONDAY EVENING,

r1sourg be relieved of the intolerable
condiuons which now confront the
CITY with respect to hotel facilities.
Many of our people fail to appre-
crate that night after night strangers
are compelled to walk the streets of
the city hunting suitable accommo-
oauons. A progressive city like ours
cannot allow this situation to con-
tinue even at the cost of still larger
subscriptions to the hotel fund.
Inere will be no looking backward
SO far as those identified with the
MOTEL proposition are concerned.
rhey are going to build the finest
motel 1t Is possible to provide at
tnis time. All the plans have been
made and the Telegraph has been
advised by the architects that the
estimates of builders will be ready
for submission to the directors of the
hotel company within few days.

Harrisourger to have a part owner

Push Our Activities

A more vigorous pulsing of the ar
teries of trade, not a checking of
their flow, will result from our en-
trance into the war with Germany.
All consumers are also producers,
and the stimulus of unprecedented
demands will increase their produc-
ton and earnings. Tne announce
ment made in Washington that at
least $500. 10000 a month, and pos
sibly S500,000,000 a month, called
for in Secretary McAdoos program
of financing the Allies, will virtually
every dollar of II" be spent in this
country for foodstuffs, munitions,
coal, clothing. railway equipment
and other supplies, should set 7at rest
any uneasy emotion that retrench-
ment is needed, save retrenchment in
the consumption of luxuries. 1t is be-
cause labor is needed in every field
for tremendous added supplies of
necessaries. not that the standard of
living and of legitimate comfort will
be lowered in this national exigency,
that a campaign of thrift and the
cutting off of luxuries has been
urged.
During the two years and eight
months of war the standard of living
in Great Britain, which has borne
the brunt of expenditure in money
and supplies and is now spending
freely the lives of her men, has
steadily risen. The efficiency and
volume Of England's labor have in
creased enormously. The great army
of the employed of Britain's peace
time is now at work, and she has
marshaled a tremendous host of
women into the productive indus
tries. In the stress of London that
teemed with poverty and wretched-
ness before the war there are liter
ally no poor to-day. The men of the
docks and the mines. the teamsters
and factory operatives who squan-
dered their earnings in gambling and
drink are drawn into the vast ma
chinery of the war Industries or are
fighting their country's battles at the
front. while their wives and children
benefit by separation allowances, en-
hanced pay, both to man and wife.
and by the regime of thrift that has
spread throughout the United King
dom.-Philadelphia Public Ledger.

SCHOOL BOARD CONTROVERSY

CCANDALOUS and sensational
~ developments of the controver-
sy over. the selection of an
architect for the school building pro-
gram have aroused the citizens OF
Harrisburg as scarcely ever before in
the history of local school affairs, and
charges have been made, supported
by affidavits, which should not be
dropped with mere newspaper publi-
cation. If these charges be true, then
the citizens are entitled to have them
established by legal evidence. If they
are not true. then the good names Of
all involved and of the school district
as well demand a prompt and ef-
fective vindication.
But whatever the outcome of this
deplorable business, the incident
emphasizes the Importance of elimi-
mating for all time any suspicion of
improper influence in the manage
ment of school affairs. The state
ment of one of the competitors for
the architectural commission that he
had never known "a situation so ap-
pallingly corrupt as that heretofore
existing" in this city, should not be
permitted to go unchallenged. The
fair fame of Harrisburg is more i'm
portant than any other matter in
volved in the subject under discus
sion.
The public will expect the school
directors, regardless of this phase of
the controversy, however to get to-
gether promptly for the purpose of
uniting on an architect. The build
ing season is slipping rapidly by and
school conditions are becoming con-
stantly worse.

Twenty submarines and their crews
were captured by the British on one
day. England is getting lot more
submarines than you people in
America have any idea Of" said a
member OF the commission from Great
Britain now here for consultation re-
garding cooperation in war. Alfred
Noyes, the English poet who addressed
an audience here the other evening.
remarked that the crews of subma-
rines are much more important than
the boats themselves because they
must be of certain temperament and
training to be of service. 1t would
thus appear that mere increase of
submarines is not everything in sub
marine warfare.

While there has been some reaction
in business activities owing to the
entrance of the United States into
war. there is likely to be a swinging
back within a short time and a rea-
sonable adjustment to war conditions.
This will mean still greater activity
than before and a widespread pros
perity in many directions 1t is
pointed out that money and credit
are in good condition and that when
Congress shall have finished the nee
essary legislation so that business
men can get a line on conditions,
there will be a going forward with
added impetus.

Only One Minutes Applause {!

1t makes one sorrowful TO read in
this mornings Eagle that Victor
Murdock was "cheered a full min
ute" at the Progressive convention.
There was time when no man
who spoke in a Progressive conven-
ton got less than six minutes of ap-
plause: real leaders received twenty
one minutes of cheers and applause
and the leader got an hour and four
teen minutes. The record shows 1t.
Janitors who restored the ventilat-
ing apparatus and readjusted the
furniture frequently gotta full min
ute
Now one minute is regarded as
worthy to be mentioned tribute for
the "keynoter." It will soon be time
for the pulmotor to take the place
of the keynoted if this alarming de-
crease of pressure continues.-H. j.
Allen in the Wichita Beacon.

THEY'D KNOW THE PLACE

IF Charley Ross had been a resi-
dent of Harrisburg and sud-
denly returned after all these
years, he'd know the place
If Enoch Arden had gone forth
from Harrisburg and had strolled
back to the scenes of his youth he
would not have had to peep into the
back'window of his erstwhile home
to have been sure that he was in the
old town.
If Rip Van Wrinkle had gone to
sleep somewhere along the Rockville
mountain after a hunting trip from
his home in Harrisburg and If he
came tottering back to town some
fine morning. he'd have one land
mark to remind him of the DAYS
agone.
If some of our beardless youths
tramp away to war and come back
three or four years hence with
shoulderstraps and boards they will
march right up the Federal Square
and feel perfectly at home.
For those who return after long.
long intervals of time the unfinished
postoffice building always will be a
distinguishing mark in Harrisburg.

Jerry: BY Jack London, who be-
ing dead yet speaketh in this re-
markable story of an Irish terrier.
His Call of the Wild was another
story of n dog which brought him
fame as a writer, but that other Won
derful dog of Alaska was not whit
more human in his remarkable
characteristics than this terrier or
the South Sea Islands. London
knew dogs as he knew and loved the
wild things of nature which so
strangely appealed to him. There is
no similarity, no paraphraslng in
this second dog story; it stands alone
as the graphic narrative of the low
able, courageous, half-human COM
rade of men of the sea. Even If the
reader has no use for a dog he will
find this vivid tale well worth the
reading. The Macmillan Company,
