Y. M. C.. A. NOTES

Accountancy classes are now form
ing in the Y. M. c. A to which book
keepers or young men of energy with
Work will begin the second week in
February. Glass meets two nights
each week.
Many Bridgeport men on the draft
list were disappointed when they
found that they were not eligible for
the accountancy group of ten asked
for by our government from this city.
This is due to the mistaken idea that
so many have that in time of uncer-
tainty it is best to do nothing. You
can see the result Of the same idea
all over the country which means
lack of preparedness.
Young men under draft age here
is your opportunity. Prepare yourself
SO that when you are drafted you will
be leader in any field you choose.
Education and training can always DC
utilized both for profit and pleasure.
Be trained something rather than
one who can do anything which means
he can do nothing well and thus is
barred from leadership.
This course is the Pace & Pace
standardized which leads to the certi-
fled Public Accountant Degree. No
accountancy course in the country has
given better results and student may
transfer to about sixty different
| schools in as many different cities il
it is necessary for him to change his
residence. The Educational Secretary
will gladly give you further informa-
| ton.

WINTER TO BLAME
FOR SHORTAGE OF
COAL IN CITIES

Pottsville, Pa, Jan, Shortage
of labor and zero weather combine
to prevent unusual output of anthra-
cite coal at this time of great need,
said w. J. Richards, president of the
Philadelphia & Reading Coal & Iron
Co., in a statement today. Mr.. Rich
ards added that despite these handi-
caps the production of coal this win
ter had been unprecedented and that
while there has been a shortage of

capped by lack of motive power, the
big cities would have been flooded
with anthracite but for the pranks OF

SOLDIER VOTE
BEING COUNTED
Beturns From Various Camps
Probably Will Not Change
Northumberland Results

Sunbury, Pa, Nov 19.-Count of
the soldier vote from this county will
be made by Judge Cummings, Pro-
thonotary Summers and a corps of
clerks on Friday, starting at noon.
No one has any idea how many
votes were cast, as the thirty-one re-
turned envelopes from camps all
over America are sealed. 1t has been
estimated that there may be 1900
in the district.
Whatever the votes in Northum-
berland county, it is not expected
that it will affect any of the present
results. William w. Roberts, of
Mt. Carmel, and d. w. Helt and No
BILE Clements, of Shamokin, present
Republican members of the Legisla-
ture, will be returned, it is believed,
as their pluralities are enough to
hold their own. Also there is no
reason, politicians say, why the ratio
in the voting in the Army should
not be the same as in the county.
Congressman Lesher's lead of 247
votes in the Sixteenth district, il is
hardly believed will be disturbed
enough to defeat him. Lesher should
! more than hold his own in the politi-
cal camps, where he is we'll known
to many of the younger soldiers.
Whether or not Albert w. Duy, of
Bloomsbury, Republican, can over
come this lead, is considered doubt
! full.
Mr.. Lesher succeeds John c.. Nc

! has held three terms. He will enter
