May Build Grain Elevator

The farmers in the Deary COM
munity are again agitating the
question of building a grain eleva-
tor. Handling grain in bulk is be-
coming more popular in the west
every day and it is only a matter of
time until this method will be used
exclusively as it is the economical
way. The elevators here have
proved to be great success and il
is thought the greater part of the
grain hauled to Kendrick next year
will be in bulk.

them will be able to obtain them

BIBLES AND FRENCH

American soldiers who have
braved the submarines and have
landed safely in France, will be as
sisted in the mastery of the French
language and at the same time read
the Gospel owing to the enterprise
of the American Bible Society. AS
the mastery of the French languages
is almost as important to the SOL
diers who are fighting for democracy
as going "over the top" the Bible
Society has issued a pocket edition
of the Gospel of st. Mark, con-
tanning the Gospel in French on one
side and its counterpart in English
on the page opposite.
The Rev. Frank p. ParlSin, d. D.,
Secretary of the American Bible So
ciety, Atlantic Agency, with head
quarters at 701 Walnut street, Phila-
delphia, reports that there is q large
demand for the Testaments already
Fifty thousand dollars will be
raised in the area including Penn
sylvania, New Jersey and Delaware,
in connection with the campaign
for 100000 that is being conducted
by the American Bible Society. AL
ready 100000 have been issued
for distribution to the National
Army and the Bible Society stands
ready to duplicate that order. The
campaign will close about April l..
Doctor Parkin visited Trenton last
Tuesday, and at meeting of
church leaders in the Trenton Y. NJ.

in Trenton and Mercer county. The
Rev. Heber d. Ketcham presided; /;
Judge Hallstab, who was present,
declared that the movement to fur
niSh TeStaments to tho Arpo1S and

morale of Uncle Sans fighting forces
at the highest standard, and there
fore was as worthy a cause as could
be presented to the American peo-
pie.

THE STARS AND STRIPES

We who in the old days-the easy
days of pleasuring-
Loitered in the distant lands-we
know the thrill that came
When in far, foreign places, above
the stranger faces,
The sight of 1t the might of it.,
would wake us like flame,
Our own flag, the one flag, it
stirred our blood to claim.
We who in these new days-these
days of all confusion
Look upon It with the eyes of one
long blind who sees,
We know at last it's beauty-it mag
nitude of duty
Dear God! if thus it seems to us,
what will it mean to these
Who stay for 1t, who pray for it,
our kindred overseas?
These who face the red days-the
white nights of fury,
Where death like some mad reaper
hacks down the living grain
They shall see our flag arise like a
glory in the sides
The stars of it. the bars of ii, that
prove it once again
The new flag, the true flag, that
does not come in vainl

OUT WITH THEM!

r OVAL Americans will hail with
delight the announcement that
President Wilson intends to de-
port all persons guilty of sabotage
or other forms of pro-Germanism-
No doubt Germany. with her man
power at low ebb, would be happy to
shove these enthusiastic supporters
Of frightfulness right up in the first
line trenches where they could get
their fill of it. At all events, Amer
lea doesn't want them and the best
place, for all such is in the land they
profess to love so ardently. They
can be of little service to the Kaiser
and we would be well rid of them.
The idea of shipping them back to
the "Fatherland" is much more like
ly to produce a quieting affect on
all of their kind than the standing
of few of them before a wall at
sunrise would have.

HOlU a Tank Behaves

From the depths of the wood OPP
posite came cracking, crunching
sound, as of some prehistoric beast
forcing its way through tropical
underground. And then, suddenly,
out from the thinning edge there
horned a monster monstrosity.
1t did not glide, it did not walk. 1t
wallowed. 1t lurched, with now and
then a laborious heave of it's should
ers. 1t fumbled its way over a low
bank matted with scrub. 1t crossed
a ditch by the simple eXpedient of
rolling the ditch out fiat, and wad-
died forward. In it's path stood a
young tree. The monster arrived at
the tree and laid it's chin lovingly
against the stem. The tree leaned
back, crackled and assumed a hori-
zontal position. In the middle of the
clearing, twenty yards further on,
gaped an enormous shell crater, a
present from the Kaiser. Into this
the creature plunged blindly, to
emerge, painting and putting on the
further side. Then it stopped. A
magic opening appeared in it's
stomach, from which emerged, grim
ming, a British subaltern and his
grimy associates.-Ian Hay, in "All
in It."

A CHANCE FOR THE BOYS

TINE boys of the Nation must help
their big brothers at the front
by working the coming sum-
mer on the farms and in the shops
that their big brothers have left.
Crops must be planted in the Spring
and harvested in the summer and
autumn, and the boys at home must
help in this important work.
To mobilize the boys who are 16
years and over, and under 21 years,
the United States Boys Working
Reserve has been organized and has
been made a War Emergency Bu-
reau of the Department of Labor.
Beginning Monday, March Is, and
continuing for six days, National En-
rollment Week will be observed.
when a great drive will be made to
enroll every boy of fit age and ply
sical condition in the United States
Boys Working Reserve, chiefly for
work upon the farms. and second
arily for work in the shops in some
industry, not of a hazardous charac-
ter, essential to winning the war.
DR.. Charles B. Eager, who is head
of the movement here, will see to it
that boys are placed only where they
will be properly treated and in
healthful surroundings. Farmers
who have vacancies would do we'll
to get into touch with him. Most of
the boys enrolled will be big. aIth-
letic high school students. and while
many of them have no farm training,
it is reasonable to suppose that II
they are bright enough to master a
technical and mechanical course in
school, they will not be long in
learning how to plow a straight
furrow or milk a con-.

quence, a special election for Sena-

ONE BOYS BIT

through to our artillery and notified
the infantry headquarters of the
division that was holding that front.
But it was necessary to let those
chaps know that we were aware Of
their predicament They'd hang on
If they knew that; otherwise
Without orders our signaler was
getting his flags ready. If he hop
ped out of the trench on to the par
apet, he didn't stand a flfty-fifty
chance. The Hun was familiar with
our observation station and strafed
it with persistent regularity.
The signaler turned to the senior
officer present, What will send
them, sir?"
Tell them their messages have
been received and that help is COM
ing"
Out the chap scrambled, a flag in
either hand he was nothing but a
boy. He ran crouching like a rabbit
to a hump of mud where his figure
would show up against the sky. His
flags commenced wagging. Mes
sages received. Help coming" They
didn't see him at first. He had to
repeat the words. We watched him
breathlessly. We knew what would
happen; at last it happened. A Hun
observer had Spotted MIN ana mashed
the target back to his guns. All
about him the mud commenced to
leap and bubble. He went on sig
mailing the good word to those
stranded men up font. Messages
received. Help coming" At last
they'd seen him. They were signal

that a whizz- bang lifted him off his
feet and landed him all of a huddle.

TN ONE of our attacks on the
Somme, all the observers up
forward were uncertain as to
what had happened, We didn't
know whether our infantry had cap
tured their objective, failed, or gone
beyond it. The battlefield, as far
as eye could reach, was a bath of
mud. 1t is extremely easy, in the
excitement of an offensive, when all
landmarks are blotted out, for our
storming parties to lose their sense
of direction. If this happens, a
number of dangers may result. A
battalion may find itself "up in the
air." which means that it has failed,
to connect with the battalions on it's
right and left; its flanks are then
exposed to the enemy. 1t may ad-
vance too far, and start digging itself
in at point where it was previously
arranged that our artillery should
place their protective wall of fire.
We, being up forward as artillery
observers, are the eyes of the army.
1t is our business to watch for such
contingencies, to keep in touch with
the situation as it progresses, and
to send our information back as
quickly as possible. We were peer
ing through our glasses from our
point of vantage when, far away in
the thickest of the battle-smoke, we
saw a white flag wagging. sending
back messages. The flag-wagging
was repeated desperately; it was evil
dent that no one had replied, and
probable that no one had picked up
the messages. A signaler who was
with us, read the language for us.
A company of infantry had advanced
too far; most of them were wounded,
very many of them dead, and they
were in danger of being surrounded.
They asked for our artillery to place
a curtain of fire in front of them,
and for reinforcements to be sent
up.
We at once phoned the orders

GOOD SELECTION

~ ELECTION of Andrew S. Pat
- terson, president of the Cham
ber of Commerce, to lead the
new Liberty Loan drive in Harris
burg is to be commended. Mr.. Pat
terSon had a prominent part in the
first two campaigns and the Cham
ber of Commerce is prominently
identified with all manner of war
service work. Liberty Loans, Thrift
Stamp sales, food and fuel admins
tration, farm agency work and
home-gardening- these and 9TH
ers have been fostered by the Cham
ber OF Commerce. It's activities have
been important and admirably con-
Quoted.
The next Liberty Loan will be
about twice the size of the last. The
new chairman has his job cut out
for him. Much advance work must
be done. The whole territory, with
its capabilities and its financial re-
sources, must be plotted for the cam
paigners. Fortunately there is COM
ing into being in this city a perma-
nent war service campaign commit
tee. This will be of vast assistance to
Mr.. Patterson and those. who will
be actively engaged with him. But
IL the campaign is to be a success
and Harrisburg is to go "over the
top" again everybody must help.
All who have fifty dollars or can
buy a bond on the instalment plan
must be on the subscription list.

SHOVE THE CLOCK AHEAD

A FTER reading the fifty reasons
IA of the United States Chamber
of Commerce committee on
daylight saving in it's report to
Congress, one wonders why the
House hesitates to adopt the meas
are, of which the country thoroughly
approves and for which most of us
are anxiously waiting. The report
of the committee is painstakingly
thorough and very interesting.
Three of the most important reas-
ons given by the committee are:
Expedjting the training of the ma
tional forces, speeding up the pro-
duction of the plants making war
material, and increasing the produc-
tion of the shipbuilding yards.
The substitution of a work hour
at the beginning of the working day
for a dark hour of artificial light at
the end of the day brings advantages
that are self-evident in the mere
statement, continues the report. 1t
will relieve the strain at the time of
greatest fatigue, says the report, i'm
prove working conditions, particu-
larly in industries where accurate
eyesight is essential, and materially
cut down the number of industrial
accidents which statistics show have
most frequently occurred in the late
afternoon when human efficiency is
at low ebb.
The lessened risk of accidents in
transportation and local traffic han
ding, by moving the afternoon rush
forward into daylight. is in itself
more than sufficient justification for
the passage of the measure, the
Chamber believes.
Other points in its favor are that
working girls will go home by
daylight, parents will have a new
hour to spend with their children,
bills for gas and electric light will be
cut down, and outdoor recreation
will be- stimulated. In this connec-
ton the possible increased garden
ing production through daylight saw
ing is worthy of serious considera-
tion.
Daylight saving means also an i'm
mediate reduction in the use of light
and heat. with it's attendant conser-
walton of coal. More than 1900. 600
tons of coal a year is the estimated
saving, even IL the measure is in ef-
feet only for the shortest period that
has been suggested; and the saving
Harrisburg telegraph. [volume] (Harrisburg, Pa.) 1879-1948, 1918-03-04

in fuel oils is equally impressive. A
Lincoln Filene, of Boston, chairman
of the committee making the report
says of the plan: =,
Great Britain. France, Italy,
Germany and eight other nations
have adopted daylight saving
since the outbreak of the war.
and in all of them 1t is great
success. In England the saving
in the use of artificial light and
fuel is estimated at $2,500,000 for
the summer months alone. In
France the saving has been .esti-
coal ordinarily consumed by the
gas and electric undertakings.
Adopted as a war measure it has
resulted in such increased effici-
ency and such marked economy
that there is no question of re-
turn to the old ways after the
war.
The bill ought to pass. Sup
porting the measure are the Pres.
ident of the United States, Her
bert c. Hoover, the United States
food administrator; DR.. Harry A
Garfield, the United States fuel ad-
ministrator: e. N. Hurley. chairman
of the shipping board; the council OF
national defense, literally scores OF
state and municipal civic bodies and
the more than 1000 chambers OF
commerce and commercial organiza-
tions comprising the membership of
the chamber of commerce of the
United States.
