Vote ''YES''
To All Road Users

Does Dauphin county-does Central Pennsylvania
know the economic handicap of A ROADS?
YES"-
Because with few exceptions this section of the state
has never had good roads.
Is it not a fact that while the merchants of the market
centers. suffer as a result, THE FARMER SUFFERS
MORE, because Of the increased cost of getting his
produce to market?
YES
Good roads bring the farms closer to town; thew reduce
the cost of transportation; they cut down the time re-
CURED to get from place to place.
Doesn't that make Good Roads a direct BENEFIT to
the Farmer, the Business Man, the Consumer, the Auto
moblist-in fact the General Public?
YES
Is there a remedy?
YES
Is it by voting for Constitutional Amendment No. on
the election ballot next tuesday,
YES
Does that authorize the legislature to pass enabGno
legislation, so that without a cent Of increased taxes on
the farmers or anybody else, the state may from time to
time issue bonds for road improvements?
YES
Then listen:
Support Amendment No. on Tuesday. Vote Yes
Improved roads must come. Pennsylvania demands them.
Provide the State with the means to build them RAPIDLY
by a loan if necessary.
Don't take a chance that the necessity for good roads
might result in a curtailed appropriation for our schools
and worthy charitable institutions.
Vote for the so-called fifty million bond ISSUE, with
the assurance that bonds will not be used unless absolutely
necessary-and in no event until after the war is over.

, CONGREGATION PURCHASES
FORMER BAPTIST CHURCH

In order to meet the demands of a
growing church the Zion German Luz

chase of the Bautist church in the city.
The congregation were seriously con-

but were glad to take advantage Of the
opportunity to purchase the Baptist

The first services will be held in the
newly acquired property Sunday even
ing. AS soon as the necessary papers
are made out and needed remodeling
is completed the church will be prop
erly dedicated to the faith of the Ger
man Lutherans.
During the past three years Zion
church has had most healthy growth.
At present there are over 100 COM
municants, 160 souls, and cradle roll
Of some SO infants, besides healthy
Sunday school. After they get COM
fortably settled in their new church
home it is confidently expected that
the congregation will continue to grow
in usefulness and membership.
Much of the present healthfulness
and prosperity of the congregation is
due to the untiring efforts of the pas
tor, Rev. J. A. Stein who has the
hearty cooperation of his entire
parish.

per cent less than originally planned.
Late reports indicate that even the
revised figures will hardly be reached
Chairman Strong will close the

RECKLESS AUTO DRIVING
RESULTS IN FATAL ACCIDENT
ON N. P. HILL, GLENWOOD

A frightful and fatal automobile ac-
cident occurred at Glenwood Sunday
evening when party of five well
known men of that city were return
ing from an all days fishing trip.
The Herald understands they were
going down the treacherous N. P. hill
near the city at rate of approximate
ly sixty miles per hour. When within
couple of blocks of the Minton hotel
the car struck a buggy pulled by a
single horse and loaded with small
children. The buggy was tipped over,
the kiddies thrown out and the
horse and buggy dragged for several
feet.
Fortunately the children were not
badly injured, but the buggy was de-
molished and the horse killed.
The occupants of the car, Dr..
Thorson, Mr.. Demase, M. Clements,
"Cornie" Wollan and FL. G. Wollan,.
did not fare so well. II. G. Wollan,.
who was cashier in one of the Glen
wood banks, never regained conscious
ness and died Monday evening from
the injuries received. "Cornie' Vol
Ian has a badly injured shoulder. Mr..
Clements has three broken ribs and
Mr.. Demase suffered a fracture of the
collar bone. DR.. Thorson, driver and
owner of the car was not injured.
The auto which was new six-cylind-
er Oakland, was completely demolish-
ed.
The driver of the car undoubtedly
was familiar with the extreme danger
lurking about this hill all the time,
and there is no justification for any
one going down at rapid rate of
speed. Most of the men IN the car
were we'll known in Sank Centre.

Coz. Burnquist Makes Strong
Opening Campaign Address

Declaring against disloyalty in all
its forms, the exploitation of the
farmers for the political benefit of a
few irresponsible leaders and for a
state government conducted for all
classes, with equal regard for each,
Governor Burnquist Saturday in
opening his campaign at Dassel, out
lined his platform, basing it on all
events and indicdents that have arisen
in Minnesota affairs within recent
months and coming out with clean
cut assertion of his position in every
aspect of the situation affecting his
office. Governor Burnquist spoke at
the street fair at Dassel, MINI.
Without bitterness, but with de
clared aggressiveness against all in
fiuences savoring of sedition, the Gov
ernor outlined in vigorous phrases his
attitude as chief executive of the
state, and his future policies with re-
gard to all elements at work to him
der the full spirited and complete CO.
operation of the citizens and state of
Minnesota with the national admins
tration for the winning of the war.

phrases took his stand for such re-
vision of the laws as would make di-
rect and effective the working out
of the greater good for all the citi-
zenship of the state. Showing by his
iegjslstive record his friendliness to
the best interests of the workers In
the city and on the farm, the Gov
ernor unhesitatingly drew the line be-
tween disciples Of hate and discord''
and those who are Loyalty working
for the best interests of all citizens.
Giving attention to "those infu-
ences exploiting the farmers and the
workers for personal gain" Governor
Burnquist openly arraigned the Of
fcials Of the Nonpartisan league, not
as representing political party, but
as group of "glib-tongued and crafty
agitators who try to use an un-
fortunate situation for the purpose
Of creating imaginary grievances"
Attack Is Direct.
Governor Burnquist declared Ar
thur LIE Sueur and others should be
behind the bars instead Of being per-
mitted to live off of the farmers Of
Minnesota. Referring directly to the
Nonpartisan league he said:
cit is undoubtedly the duty of ar
executive, especially in times like
