BIG POTATO CROP

One of the great problems to be
met with the forthcoming late po-
tato crop is that of securing an equit-
able distribution and an even flow of
this years crop for the nine and a
half or ten months during which it
is used for food. According to the
Food Administration, the railroads
have stated that 1t will be possible
for them to handle approximately
one-third of the crop from the be-
ginning of harvest until the last of
November. IL shippers will see to 1t
that cars are loaded to maximum ca
pacity from $4,000 to $4,000
pounds. instead of $4,000 pounds
and also see that they are unloaded
within 4s to so hours of their arri-
val at destination. Two-thirds of the
crop would then remain to be dis
posed of. Under the ruling of the
Federal Reserve Board, part of the
remaining crop might be stored later
40 be distributed as market demands
afford opportunity, and the remain
der stored by owners.-Exchange.

THE CAVELL ROSE

1t is a much happier conceit to
name flowers after heroines than 1t
was te give the names of battlefields
to colors. Last year the French
named Il beautiful rose for Edith
Cavell; this year they have named
one for Emilienne Moreau. Four
fifths of the worlds inhabitants know
why the memory of Edith Cavell
should be honored. and honor her.
Emilienne Moreau, a young girl of
Loos, during the battle which re-
suited in its capture by the Allies
helped to save wounded British SOL
diers under fire, and later shouldered
q rifle and assisted in driving the
Germans from the town.-Christian

dispatch from Altoona has this to
say on the Mountain City's interest
ing contest. THE primary election
resulted in the nomination of a
group of strong men for city COM
missioner. The issue at the Novem--
Der election will be the decision of
the question whether the people
want city manager or prefer the
present form of government. Three
of the present commissioners. Ira
Shelly, w. C.. Myton and Frank
Rooney, as we'll as George Kuebler
will stand on the platform opposed
to city manager. Charles H. Cas-
sidy, N. A. Stevens, J. P. Lafferty
and w. c.. Westfall are the candi-
dates in the race favorable to a city
manager. 1t is recognized that all
of these candidates are exceptionally
strong and each has a large per-
sonal following. The campaign
promises to be exciting and the
voters will be given an opportunity
to be thoroughly enlightened on the
advantages and disadvantages of the
proposed city manager plan of gov
ernment."

Kaiser breads Hidden Secret

TIGHT locked in the vaults of the
Bank of England is a powerful
weapon against the Kaiser,
which it is said he keenly breads, but
which thus far England has not pro-
duced against him, in spite of the
pressure which has been brought
to bear upon her. 1t is a question
of honor that saves him, the honor
of the Bank. This weapon, according
TO an account given in the New York
Evening Sun by La Marquise de
Fontenoy, Is the manuscript of the
third and most interesting volume OF
the memoirs of the Iron Chancellor
his posthumous revenge upon the
Kaiser" The Sun says:
1t may be recalled that Bismarck
died full of the most bitter and saw
age resentment against the Kaiser;
a resentment carefully famed by
the old princess and by all his en-
tourage. He had a vitriolic tongue
and still more vitriolic pen, and it
is known that he did not spare the
Emperor in his final "reminiscences.
In the unpublished volume are re-
lated with all the bitterness engeu-
dered by Bismarck's forced retire
ment the events in connection with
the illness of Emperor Frederick, the
vain attempts to eliminate that Ill
fated monarch from the succession,
his brief reign, and the first few
years of the present Emperor's rule.
The story of the Kaiser's differences
with his mother over the disposal
of his fathers diaries and the details
of Bismarck's own dismissal from
office are set forth. The memoirs
would have been published in their
writer's lifetime had not the EN-
peror threatened dire penalties to
the author in the event of it's ap-
pearance, and So

the Kaiser might proceed to the
length of ordering the seizure not
only of his manuscript but of all
his papers, correspondence, and
documents at Friedrichsruhe, man.
aged, though not without difficulty,
to smuggle the manuscript of the
third volume and his most precious
papers out of the country and over
to London, where they have been
lodged ever since in the Bank of
England.

tragedy; for tragic indeed is the re-
turn at eventide of the mud-bespat-
tered half-starved. sunburned fisher
man, sans the fish he went out to
catch.
Not that the fisherman per Sc, as
the lawyers would put it, are such a
sad lot. Not they. They live in ever
lasting hope, and many of them so
malady that even the odor of salt
mackerel is tonic to their nostrils
and a fishing trip il a taste of para
disc, even though there are no fish
within miles. 1t is thelsigns of idiocy
that are engendered by the home

And so it goes, a display of mental
degeneracy that would bring tears
to the eyes of even a hardened in
vestigator into the causes of feeble
mindedness and sufficient to con-
vince him that half the population
is headed straight for the State lu-
natic asylums.
If Mr.. Hoover can find a way to
teach all fishermen how they can
catch their limit every day we feel
sure that there will follow auto
matically a great increase in the use
of fish diet in Harrisburg. But in
doing so he must take thought, also,
for the conservation of labor, for it
is a foregone conclusion, If the aver
age man can be convinced he is go
ing to bring home a string of fish
every time he goes fishing, there will
be great many in Harrisburg who
will discover that the state of their
health demands pretty frequent alb
sence from work.

FISH

TOOD ADMINISTRATORS HER
BERT HOOVER has undertaken
the very laudable task Of teach<
ing us to eat more fish. But, as in
making rabbit pie. the first necessity
is to catch the rabbit. so in learning
to eat more fish, one must first get
the fish, and Mr.. Hoover will crafty
a very, very large portion of the popu-
lation of America IL he will teach us
how to catch fish. If Mr.. Hoover can
do that he can be elected President of

FAIR PLAY
THE Telegraph is in receipt of
the following letter from a life
long resident of Harrisburg:

lNplGdl piece OF nOunQlnS DY IHal
newspaper. 1t says at the top of
it's first page: "Mr. Bowman-It's
up to, you to close up the burles-
que shows"
not the Patriot call upon William
been occupying the office of may
or, to close up the shows?
For ten days the Harrisburg
Patriot has been protesting
against the burlesque shows. Dur
ing those ten days Mr.. Gorgas
filled the office of mayor. Why did
not the Harrisburg Patriot ad-
dress him by name to close up the
burlesque shows al it is doing to
o Mr.. Bowman before he has even
had chance to take the oath of
of office?
The declaration at the head of
the Harrisburg Patriots editorial
column contains, among other
high sounding statements, this
sentence: 1T will be fair and just
to all men,"
1t strikes me that in its eager
ness to start bounding Mr.. Bow
man II is giving another charac-
teristic exhibition of it's policy of
declaring it is animated by the
highest motives and then acting
the other way.
FAIR PLAY.
In these views the Harrisburg
Telegraph concurs. Mayor Bowman
may be trusted to do what is right.
His term of office will be too short
to accomplish much in a construc-
tive way. He will have scarcely time
to become familiar with the routine
of the office before his successor is
elected, Opportunity for great re-
forms will not be his. This must be
perfectly apparent to the subsidized
newspaper organ of the Democratic
bosses which started to hound him
before he had been officially noti-
fed of his appointment.
1t is little wonder, under these cir
eumstances, that men of high ideals
and of good reputation in the COM
munity hesitate to offer themselves
as candidates for public Office. Hon.
esty, consistency, decent regard for
truth and honor and a proper spirit
of fair play matter little to the scan
dal-mongering character assassins
who for years have been trying 10
build a successful political machine
upon the graves of those who do not
happen to agree with them polit-
ically. In their eyes everything
Democratic is good and everything
Republican is bad, For the sake OF
political preferment they have be-
smlrched the characters of many
men and It is to be expected they
will continue this outrageous policy
The leopard does not change his
spots nor does the hog leave his wal
low.
But should they attempt this with
Mayor Bowman their efforts will be
in vain. His reputation is too well
established in Harrisburg. His pub
lie and private life speak for them
selves. If ever the mayors chair
was filled by high type, honest
public-spirited citizen it is to-day
and any attack upon him or his poll
cies would only reflect discredit upon
those guilty of them. The sad fea.
ture of to-day's preliminary outburs
is that it may discourage others Of
the Bowman type from the accept
ance of public trust in Harrisburg.
