The classification of the local high
schools in the Penn relays has again
been changed. Johnstown, Altoona
Peabody of Pittsburgh, and Williams
port have been moved out of the To-
Gals class. In their stead will be
placed Binghamton, n. Y, Trenton N
j., and Mckinley Manual Training
school, of Washington, d. c.
In addition to these schools there
will be Reading, Steelton, Tech and
Central. All three of the schools from
the States of New York, New Jersey
and Washington, are of a fast caliber,
and represent larger student bodies
than any of the local runners. Track
candidates from the four local schools
are out daily, and are preparing for
the first meet at Philadelphia the lat
ter part of this month.
Harrisburg Academy runners will
compete in Glass s for preparatory
schools. Local athletes will be pitted
against Pennsylvania Institute For
Deaf, Brown Prep, Central Prep. of
philadelphia, Wardlow school, Will
mington Conference Academy.
Record Entry List
Many new schools are on the list
A new class race was necessary for the
high schools, and two new races for
the preparatory schools. The list is a
record-breaker for both classes. In
all there are Sc preparatory schools
and lib high schools entered. Real
training for these hundreds of school
boys started in earnest this week and
Will be continued until the day of the

Germans Anti-War
Talk Causes Smiles
BY dsSocfnfcd Prcss

Washington, D. c., April 4.-when
Secretary Lansing's attention was di-
rected to-day to an apparently inspired
statement from Berlin that a state of
war would effect no change in Ger
many's treatment of Americans in Ger
many he thought a moment, smiled
broadly and exclaimed; Il am sorry
10 hear that"
Apparently officials here think the
only change could be one for the
better.
The only comment on the further
statement that Germany would not
SO to war with the United States even
If the United States went to war with
her was that that would make it much
easier for this country. If Germany
does not consider bomb plots in this
country, the Iimm ermann note and her
ruthless submarine campaign acts of
war, officials here are at a loss to know
what she would do if she actually de-
clared war in her own terms.

Is said to be distinctly different from
the usual run of musical comedy con-
coctions. Having as a theme the love
adventures of young married couple,
who have agreed to disagree and are
about to be divorced, when the action
of the play begins, the story is ingeni-
ously contrived with many surprising
ly novel and highly dramatic episodes
ana originality of construction that is
only too rarely encountered in the or
dinary musical comedy plot. During the
long run of the play at the Liberty
Theater, New York, the theatrical re-
viewers were lavish in their praise of
the piece, and, according to all advance
reports, Have a Heart" undoubtedly
scored the signal success of the season
insofar as musical comedy offerings
were concerned. The enthusiastic ap-
proval of the play by the New York
critics was unanimously endorsed by
Philadelphia. The company comes here
direct from a brilliant engagement at
the Forrest Theater in the latter city,
where capacity crowds filled the play
house to overfowing at every perform
ance of the piece.

Let as hope that finally stable un-
shifting conditions will accrue to
the nation and our section and the
lean and disturbed years will have
past at least for season aad that
the people NAV settle down to serve
God and make a living ia security
and fair certainty, but IL means
something for the better in the social
life of the people themselves to have
such pleasant condition once again
continuously. Too much high living
has undoubtedly had something TO
do with these hard and narrowing
times coming on Us, as u whole peo-
pie.

Bankers and Brokers
Show Fine Patriotism

When your banker or your broker
encourages you to buy United States
Liberty Bonds, don't make the mis-
take of thinking that he has any self
ish motives. The fact is that he does
not make any commission whatever
by selling these war bonds. On the
contrary, all the work that q banker
or broker undertakes in connection
with United States Liberty Bonds Is
at his own expense.
Seldom has any class of business
men shown finer patriotism than that
exhibited in recent weeks by the bank
ers and brokers. The federal govern
ment is under great obligations to
them for the high spirit of public duty
they have shown. for the enthusiasm
they have manifested in familiarizing
the public with United States Liberty
Bonls and in encouraging people to
buy.
II you have not yet ordered your
I'm ed States Liberty Bonds, see your
banker or your broker today And re-
member that in handling your order
he is working unselhshly for Ameri-
can honor and for the permanence of
liberty on earth.

Money makes the war go.
Have you bought your
bond?
Don't Be Afraid of Bonds;
They're Like Gold Coin

Don't get scared when anybody says
bonds" One reason why most peo-
pie know very little about bonds is
that usually they cost around $1,000
each, and you and l don't buy $1,000
things every day But our United
States is now issuing United States
Liberty Bonds that cost as low as $50,
and it's high time now to learn that a
bond is the safest investment on earth
On the United States Liberty Bond
you get 31a per cent interest. payable
every June Is and Dec. Is, and also
you get your entire principal back.
United States Liberty Bonds are GER
tain to become as numerous in the
United States as gold pieces. They
will have wide and ready sale. Any
time you need money, you can take
your bond to the bank and get it.
There isn't a real estate dealer any
where, or an automobile maker, or a
grocer who wouldn't be just as glad to
take United States Liberty Bond as
he would to receive gold coin.
II you haven't already ordered your
United States liberty Bonds, see your
banker or your broker today.
Greene County herald. (Leakesville, Miss.) 1898-current, 1917-06-15
Buying Liberty Bonds Is
Not An Act Of Charity

When you buy United States Lib
erty War Bonds you are not giving
away anything. Your act Of purchas-
ing is not an act of charity. What
ever money you have you possess be-
cause you have lived and worked in
the glorious United States. Today the
United States needs ready money to
help win the war, to provide food,
clothing and transportation for our
soldier boys. So our government says
to you: Loan us $50 or 800. or what
ever amount you like, and we will pay
you 31s per cent annual interest (pay-
ments every June Is and Dec. 15), and
in addition to that we will pay you
back the entire amount you lent u.s.
Also, if the interest rate on our bonds
goes up, we will advance your interest
to the highest rate'
That's fair, square proposition.
You can't lose. The United States
helped you get what you have, and it
is both patriotism and good business
on your part to loan the government
some Of your money now. Order
United States Liberty Bonds from
your banker or your broker. Do 1t
today.

One of our contemporaries, name

have blown all through MAY and the

how blasting are the hot winds

ore how much good their antithesis
have done during. this prolonged dry
spell. Nature has many ways of
compromising for its severihes and
of reminding mankind of how much
worse it can be when experiencing
some of its hard sides. Let us hope
that the recent showers though few

real breaklng-up of the long sus-

These bonds are issued to equip our
soldier boys with everything they will

U. S. Liberty Bond Button

hardly any one who cannot buy at
