How to Keep Friends

An editorial in the September
Woman's Home Companion says:
"It is almost impossible to be gen.
uinely friendly with person who in
sists on being too close to you, on
knowing all your thoughts. feelings
and affairs, and on claiming your
time and attention on the excuse of
affection alone.
THE bonds of true fGendship must
be easy and its demands must be
for something real and vital. The
woman who calls on you perpetually
because she has taken a sudden
fancy to you is a blind and selfish
egotist, in a mild way. Her calls may
interrupt your work and bore you
intensely. but If you are a polite and
courteous person you bear with her
until she directs her attention else
where. She will probably tell the
new friend that you are very unre-
sponsive.' Some women clutch at ev-
cry new acquaintance and then COM
plain that they have so few friends
The reason is that friendship is not
built on trivialities and whims, but
by giving such valuable things rs
true consideration. real interest, and
manifesting a decent reserve as to
the other persons condolences and
nonconfidences."

THE SQUARE DEAL BOARDS

THE SQUARE DEAL BOARDS
THE meeting being held at the
Capitol this afternoon for dis
cussion of draft and exemption
problems by the members of the
district appeal boards and a repre-
sentative of the Judge advocate gen.
eral is the final step in the organ
ization of the draft system in Penn
sylvania. These boards are the ones
to whom appeals will be taken from
action by local boards on applications
for exemption. They are made up or
the men who will have to apply the
square deal" to the individual. to
families, to the business of the State
and to the nation itself. There are
no more important organizations in
the whole draft system. The men
named are of high type and their
task is one which will be great and
tax their abilities. They will give
freely and cheerfully of their time
and experience and knowledge.
A nation casting aside traditional
policy of military organization strikes
many homes and business establish
ments. National defense now rises
supreme and these boards will en-
deavor to obtain what Columbia asks
with the least possible disturbance,
compatible with public interest, of
home and business ties.

= IMMEDIATE establishment of
municipal markets in every city

municipal markets in every city
of twenty thousand or more in
habitants is urged by Secretary of
Agriculture Charles E. Patton as a
means of bringing the growers of
farm products in direct contact with
the purchasing and consuming
public. In a statement just issued
Secretary Patton says:
Amy town or city of twenty thou
sand or more inhabitants can we'll af-
ford and should take immediate steps
for the establishment of municipal or
local markets that will bring the
farmers of the community in direct
touch with the consumer and thus
reduce the cost OF handling articles
of food. In cities where markets
years their success has been proved
beyond all doubt, and with the ad-
vent of the war garden on small aud
large scales, some avenue for the
overproduction to reach the consun-
er must be provided.
Municipal authorities should at
once consider the establishment of
curbstone markets and encourage the
farmers to attend this market on q
certain day or certain days each
week by offering free parking space
rental for a period long enough to
test the worth of the market to the
persons who will bring their products
for sale. In some cities market build
ings might be available or might be
constructed by municipal funds, but
by whatever means are at hand these
markets should at once find their

Germany's Bill

A prediction that the businessmen
of Germany will force a peace in the
near future is made by Clarence w.
Barron, publisher of a financial jour-
nal in Boston.
Mr.. Barron declares that he has
private information from Germany
that businessmen of all classes are
demanding peace, even If the terms
must be the same that might be ex-
pected after German defeat, because
defeat, they realize, is inevitable and
to prolong the war simply means fur
ther loss of manpower and heavier
war debt to carry. If peace were
to come tomorrow Germany would
be staggering under O war debt of
many billions of dollars.
Germany was great in chemistry,
potash dyes, fabricated steel and
merchant marine. Now her ships
are forfeited, at home they rust in
harbors; vast dye and chemistry
works have been set up in other
countries; the world outside has
doubled its production of steel and
Germany is industrially isolated. The
big men of Germany see to-day that
all Germany has been building for
a generation in the trade of the
world is absolutely lost If she fights
much longer. There is no longer
hope of a victorious Germany. Amer
lea puts financial backbone into the
Allies. England's food supply is Sc
cure for another year. The whole
world is building ships. German
shipping will be outclassed. Mort
gagged by war for more than one
third of her value Germany faces
financial bankruptcy. Another year
of war would make Germany's loss of
manpower so great that she would
be counted out of the financial and
industrial race of the modern econo-
mic world. She must give up, and
the sooner the better.
All of which will be bad news TO
the pro-German pacifists in Amer
ica.-Kansas City Star.

o the Editor of the Telegraph:

To the Editor of the Telegraph:
That portion of your editorial un-
der date OF August goth concern
ing the mayoralty is absolutely true,
Our city must not take step back
ward.
The mayor of Harrisburg should
be man of energy, executive abil-
ity, and whose character is above re-
proach. He must be free from alco-
hol at all times.
1t would not be amiss for the
voters to acquaint themselves with
the personal habits of those who
are candidates for mayor that they
may vote intelligently.
Do not take the word of interested
parties. Let your investigation be
thorough. Harrisburg must not be

German Denials

The German papers are denying
the reports of poisoned courtplaster
