LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
Milk Price Protest
the Editor of the Telegraph:

o "e EdHor OF the Telegraph:
One way to combat another increase
in price of milk. Mr.. Editor, is to 20
TO the grocery store and get a can of
eVaporated milk (unsweetened) of
which there are several brands, put it
into quart bottle. fill it with water
and you have Il quart of milk for
3 cents, saving of 2 cents per quart
at present prices.
Some years ago this scheme worked
successfully in a neighboring town
when milk dealers attempted to in
crease price of milk. Consumers
banded together and purchased their
supplies of milk from grocers in cans
instead of the milk man, who soon
came around begging customers to
buy at old prices.
To-day farmers get Is cents per gal
Ion from the man who delivers it to
consumer. He in turn charges us 3 70
cents per quart for delivering it. These
people could stand the proposed in
crease of cents per gallon to pro-
ducer and still have cents per quart
or three -eighths profit (371a cents on
every dollars worth sold) for deliver
ing it.
milk dealers expect to make q week s
wages off too small q business-one
hundred quarts daily, for instance.
Now ii he handled two or three times
that much and could not get q living
out of it, he would have good kick.
Now, let consumers follow my direc-
tions and see If we can't keep prices
down.

THE POOR BOARDS WORK

DAUPHIN county's Poor Board
- has just completed twelve
months application of the
policy of business efficiency in caring
for the poor and INDECENT. and a visit
to the almshouse and survey of the
books of the directorate offer ample
evidence of the practicability of such
a system.
When the present Poor Board took
charge the directors modestly an
nounced that the Office was to be run
on lines similar to those any one of
the businessmen constituting it's mem
bership would pursue were he
handling his own money instead of
the peoples.
AS a result the wayfarers who are
resting more or less briefly at the
halfway house on the road from bet
ter days to the only really Better Day
they will ever know have been much
more comfortable, much better fed,
much better clad, during the past year
than ever before.
True enough, the cost of mainte-
nance during the coming year will be
greater. But that's no fault of the
Poor Board. The higher price of liv-
ing affects the county's home as it
affects every private home, and the
increased outlay will be balanced by
the installation of a new cold stor-
age plant and the construction of new
and more commodious pens for the
swine. Ten thousand dollars addi-
tional is asked for the maintenance
of the county's poor during 1917, but
most of this will be expended in the
installation of improvements which
will eventually mean big saving in
cost of food for inmates and fodder
for the livestock.
During the past year an irrigating
system was put in and it has worked
wonders New beds and new mat
tresses sanitary and modern, were
purchased; attention to the beautifi-
cation of the grounds in the way of
hedges was given.
In the next year it is the director
ate's desire to further improve the
farm and home by the addition or
greater facilities for maintaining the
hundreds who have no other home
The taxpayers do not begrudge the
county home money sufficient to run
it properly. The old idea that the
public owes its wards no more than
enough to keep soul and body to-
gether is obsolete. They must be
maintained in healthful and pleasant
surroundings.

sCHooLHoUsE cENTERs

DUBLIC sentiment in support of
J. community centers to be estab-
lished in the school buildings of
towns and cities is increasing every
where. Long ago the question of
utilizing the school buildings by the
people to larger extent than is now
possible was discussed. 1t has been
only recently, however, that the
movement began to take form in the
organization of associations with a
distinct purpose of using the school
buildings in this way as their main
object.
Harrisburg has some fine school
buildings and the talk of social CEN
ters has reached the point of more
or less crystallized public sentiment
1t only remains now to put the move
ment into force and effect through
some official action of the school di-
rectors. We believe that much good
is to be accomplished by such asso-
Citations and greater community effort
in this direction. There are thou
sands of good people in every city wLo
are willing and anxious to assist in
solving the problems which are identi-
cal in every city the size of Harris
burg.
Already there is an organization in
the Seventh ward, having a more or
less definite plan for the Americana
zation of the foreign children in that
part of the city. These children are
bright and their school teachers with
one accord pronounce them unusually
teachable. They respond quickly to
the sympathy and interest of those
who are concerned in promoting their
welfare. Many pathetic stories are
told OF the appreciation of poor par
ents of these alien children. 1t is
strongly to all who believe in the
future OF Harrisburg and the country
at large.
AT the conclusion of the awful
struggle in Europe it is expected there
will be a tremendous influx of those
who are now living in the war-ridden
countries. Many will bring their
children and our own people must
prepare to extend a real welcome to
all who come, so long as they are
worthy and desire to take their proper
place among the people of the United
States.
1t is perfectly obvious that the
school property is owned by all the
people and there is every reason in the
world to make more general use of
these buildings for the public well
fare.

A Wish

I'd like to be boy again. a carefree
prince of joy again,
d. I'd like to tread the hills and dales
the way [ used to do;
I'd like the tattered shirt again, the
knickers thick with dirt again.
The ugly, dusty feet again that long
ago / knew.
I'd like TO play first base again, and
SliVers curves to face again,
I'd like to climb, the way l did, a
friendly apple tree:
For, knowing what / do to-day, could
] but wander back and play,
I'd get full measure of the joy that
boyhood gave to me.
I'd like to be a lad again, a youngster,
wild and glad again,
I'd like to sleep and eat again the
way I used to do;
I'd like to race and run again, and
drain from life its fun again.
And start another round of joy the
moment one was through.
But care and strife have come to me,
and often days are glum to me,
And sleep is not the thing it was and
food is not the same;
And l have sighed. and known that I
must journey on again to sigh,
And have stood at envy's point and
heard the voice of shame.
I've learned that joys are fleeting
things; that parting pain each
meeting brings;
That gain and loss are partners here,
and so are smiles and tears;
That only boys from day to day can
drain and fill the cup of play;
That age must mourn for what is
lost throughout the coming
years.
But boys can not appreciate their
priceless Joy until too late.
And those who own the charms
had will soon be changed to
men;
And then, they too will sit, as I, and
backward turn to look and sigh
And share my longing. vain, to be a
caFefree boy again.

Losses on the Sea

Sir Norman Hill, secretary of the
Liverpool Steamship Owners Associa-
ton, estimates Great Britain's war
losses in mercantile marine at 433
steam vessels, or more than 1900
tons, and with an aggregate registry
(gross) of 1,744,000 tons. If these
figures are correct, and naturally they
are as conservative as the facts will
permit. Great Britain has lost more
tonnage in, 81 months than was con-
tanned in the total American foreign
going tonnage in 1915. Statistics in
June, 1915, credited the United States
with possessing 1,349,946 tons of
overseas shipping. In other words
Great Britain up to the time the esti-
mate was made had lost 394. 900 more
tons of overseas shipping than the
United States owned and still had
about 14,500,000 tons left. These
figures indicate wha the United States
would be up against If she ever got
into real war on salt water. 1t
would not be long before our rela-
lively insignificant merchant marine
was swept off the seas.

LENTZ MAKES GOOD RECORD

NOO@N + lNlANOIkoGE JAM II.
~ LENTz not only has turned back
to the County Treasurer more
fees than ever in the history of the
office, but he has installed efficiency
methods during the first year of his
incumbency that not only save to the
taxpayers the salaries of several tran
scribers, but make for legibility and
accuracy in the important books COM
piled under his direction. This is the
day of the typewritten document and
record. No businessman worth the
name now conducts his correspond
ence by pen and ink and most modern
offices depend upon the typewriter for
all kinds of written records. The
three machines which Recorder Lentz
has installed not only do the work of
transcribing more quickly and eff
ficiently, but there can be no question
ing either words or figures and the
records are easy to read.

The Gates of Paradise

The gates of Paradise are double.
And they are blue;
Blue as the skies when no clouds
trouble
Their perfect hue;
Blue as the calm face of the ocean
When winds are still,
And sunlight only is in motion
To work its will.
When skies are dull. the sea is lonely
And means or sleeps;
The quick winds or the warm sun only
May stir its deeps.
The gates of Paradise are double,
And they are blue;
They ope to love, but cold, gray trouble
Will clang them to.
Lord, give me strength that who love
them
May live Alright,
And spread no tristful clouds above
them
To dim their light.
BY other paths may other mortals
Win Paradise.
But keep for me It's clearest portals
In her pure eyes.

PEACE SIGNS
WYE are pleased to see here and

NTE are pleased to see here and
" there signs of sanity within
the contending factions of the
Republican party. Surely the univer-
sal protest which has gone up from
every section of the party in Penn
sylvania must have its effect upon the
pugnacious gentlemen who have been
responsible for the deplorable con-
troversy.
Neither side has been blameless and
it will not do for one to accuse the
other of all the shortcomings in the
political decalogue. Each has been
to some extent responsible for the
unseemly row and a good deal of bad
blood having been split, it ought to be
possible to get all the belligerents out
of the trenches before the reconven-
ing of the Legislature.
There are signs here and there of
harmony and the great body of Re-
publicans will sincerely hope that
these signs are indicative of q dis
position to stop fighting each other
and perfect the party alignment for
the future struggle with the common
political enemy. It ought to be plain
to every factionist engaged in the re-
cent unpleasantness over the speak,
ership that there is not room enough
in Pennsylvania for two Republican
parties. 1t ought also to be clearly
evident that the Democrats are so
tickled over the outlook that they are
pounding each other on the back and
chuckling where two or three happen
to meet. They are justified in their
hilarity, but it is not too late for the
Republicans to Great such a condition
