FOR \ STATE FAIR

Tn booklet issued by the Spring
field, Mass, Board of Trade,
much attention is given to the
Agricultural and Industrial EXPOSE
ton which has provided an instru-
mentality for the regeneration of
New England agriculture" 1t is set
forth that the impelling motive of
this undertaking is service and not
self dvantage-helpful loyalty to
New England, not greed for Spring
fields gloriication.
The purpose of the Springfield ex-
position is to promote agriculture
and industry in the Eastern States.
Additional buildings are to be pro-
vided this year and already the en-
terprise is attracting much atten-
ton.
All this is quite interesting, in view
of the effort locally to establish the
Keystone State Fair and Industrial
Exposition on the fine site between
this city and Middletown Owing to
the war and other complications the
proposition here has not been pushed
to fruition, ,ut those interested are
understood TO be quite hopeful of
success. 1t is said eighty-eight citi-
zens of Springfield gave over $780,
600 to the exposition in that city and
there is widespread interest in the
undertaking.
The capital stock of the Massa-
chusetts corporation is sI55,O0O,
divided into 10000 shares, all Of one
class of par value of S25. Theodore
n. Vail, the great leader of the Bell
Telephone Company, is one of the
vice presidents and many of the
prominent manufacturers and busi-
ness people of Springfield are direct
ly interested.
The racetrack at Springfield was
dedicated last July with three
day meeting. There is also lagoon
of ten acres for ice and water sports.
MANY of the necessary buildings have
been provided and still others will
be constructed this year.
It is believed by those who are in
terested in the Keystone State Fair
and Industrial Exposition that no
site in the United States is superior
To the tract now being developed east
of Highspire. Many stockholders are
scattered over the State and it is
believed there will be general inter-
est in the enterprise once the plans
are fully matured.
Speaking of the Springfield Expo
sition. the Secretary of the Massachu-
setts state Board of Agriculture in
his annual report for 1916, says:
seldom in the history of the
Agriculture of this country has
| such an achievement as that un-
| dertaken by the business men of
/ Springfield been accomplished.
Less than one year ago. guided by
| a group of business men, SPRING
| field undertook to establish
! large agricultural and industrial
| exposition in that city. Too much
! credit cannot be given to those
i men who have given freely OF
their time and money in further-
ing this enterprise.
PENNSYLVANIA is now without &
state Fair and it would seem that
the time is ripe for the placing o.
the exposition here on a permanent
basis. especially in view of the grea
and increasing interest in food pro
duction and stock raising.

Few Harrisburg people are idle
with respect to war preparedness.
Their activities do not all run in one
direction, but the industry manifested
means creditable showing for a pa
triotic community. While some are
interested in the Red Cross move
ment others are engaged in boosting
the planting campaign and still others
are giving their time TO the Commit

ration which involves head and hand.

MONEY IN BANK SAFE
 FROM CONFISCATION

Washington, Nov. 17.-Recurrence in many sections of the country of the old rumor that the government in- tends to seize bank deposits caused Secretary McAdoo to issue this state ment:
 "Amond the many absurd and vic- ious rumors which are being put into circulation these days, probably thru pro- German influences, is one that the government proposes to confiscate the money on deposit in the banks. The absurdity of the statement is obvious on it's face. Of course these rumors are wholly without foundation. In fact the government has no power to con- fiscate the money of depositors in banks"

 Popular Minister

sssThe farewell sermon of Dr. John S. Tester last evening was well attended, the other Presbyterian churches of the slistrict combining their congregations to hear the final address of the minister, whom all have come to regard in the highest esteem.
 Since my coming to this church eight years ago I have always endeavored to preach the doctrine of Living Christ, and have tried to help the people of this church into the way that thought was right regardless of what others might say in the way of criticism said Dr. Foster in the course of his sermon.
 Rev A. Grady Harris, Rev. J. A. Bryan and other Presbyterian ministers of the city expressed warm congratulations to pr. Foster on the success of his work during his stay in Birmingham ana wished him a pleasant and fruitful field for his splendid energies in his new charge at Anderson, s. c.

"The world Is projected from with in, not from without" said Bishop Collins Denny of Charleston, s. C., in his sermon at the dedication of tho North Highlands Methodist church last night. Love is the greatest of all emotions, the most selfish and the most generous. demanding complete ness yet looking over the broken gate and seeing only the beautiful flowers within t\s garden. It is not the mes senger. but the message that Is of interest"
 Bishop Denny spoke at the dedica- ton of two churches, Eleventh Ave- nue yesterday morning and North Highlands last night.
 Both chu% hes were we'll filled, part of the congregations of the other churches attending to aid in celebrat- ing the event.

RINGING APPLAUSE IN CHURCH GREETS PATRIOTIC SERMON Dr. Stuart's DenunciatiOn of the Kaiser Stirs
 First Methodist
 Congregation

No such damnable purpose or mad spirit was ever turned loose on this world, in the whole history of civilization pire, obsessed with the diabolical con viction that he can whip and conquer the whole world, and that he is the secret agent of God, and I will tell you now that this bull has got to be roped,' said pr. George R. Stuart, in his pulpit at the First Methodist church yesterday morning. The remark was followed by ringing applause from pit to dome of the large church auditorium, in which at least 2OOO people were seated and many were standing in every available corner and aisle.
 He cares nothing for science, for art, for sacred contracts, for women, TOT honor, for countries, for homes-he cares for nothing but his damnable imperialism that is founded on militarism and his in sane desire to rule the world. A man who would take the dead bodies of hls fallen soldiers and make grease of them, use their bones for fertilizer and then say it is his and Gods war, is the character or man that ne IS. d1u q pacificist and don't believe in war. but when l am attacked by mad dogs. mad bulls and rattlesnakes I am going to de- fend myself and only by the destruction of this great war machine of the Kaiser can we establish international peace"
 pr. Stuart reviewed the Biblical wars. the contests that Joshua, David ana Moses had, and drew lessons from them. He referred to the Mexican situation, and showed where the Christian nation of America refused to recognize little border line and how they refraineo from entering into that conflict.
 "Gemran imperialism is not old. II was at the close of the civil war that we found the German states all mixed up, and that is where the start was made to make Germany the great imperial gov ernment, backed by that great military machine which was created for bloody cruel war, butchery of the nation and the earth if necessary to satisfy the dam- nable pride and ambition of imperialism and those who advocate it. and all of this is wrong and contrary to Christianity.
