newspaper will stand personally behind every advertise

your trade usually not too stngy to ask you for it

Remember this also The business that too close

is not going to you any money when you trade with

Getting Soldier Boys
Home Is Hurley's Task

New York, Nov. 16.-Edward n.
Hurley, chairman of the United
States Shipping Board. announced
here last night on the eve of his
departure for Europe, that the gov
ernment intends to return to this
country speedily a large part of the
American EXpeditionary Forces. The
purpose of Mr.. Hurley's trip to Eu-
rope is to arrange the details for
their transportation.
To offset the loss of transport tom
mage through the withdrawal of
British ships hitherto engaged in
carrying American soldiers overseas,
Mr.. Hurley hopes to utilize twenty
five or thirty German and Austrian
liners, with accommodations for A.
900 men each. In compensation for
the loan" of these vessels, he said,
food would be sent to the people of
Central Europe on their return voy-
ages.
Mr.. Hurley said the Shipping
Board would be able to bring troops
back at the rate of 100000 a month,
IF the War Department wants them
returned as fast as that" He would
meet General Pershing at American
Field Headquarters, he added, to
discuss the details of their home
coming.

Cumberland War Fund
Committee Hard at Work

Carlisle, Pa, Nov. 16.-With two
days remaining, Cumberland county
is still considerably behind the quota
needed to reach the goal in the
United War Work campaign. The
campaign in the towns is proceeding
fairly well, but is tagging in some
country districts. In certain sections
special offerings will be taken in
churches tomorrow. The canvass of
the S. T. c. A. at Dickinson College
has been postponed until Monday.
In Carlisle persons who failed to
subscribe to the war chest and new
comers are being solicited for the
campaign. The town has to raise ST.
600 more than the $1,000 secured
from the Benevolent and Patriotic
Fund, as the Carlisle war chest was
named. The first school to secure a
Victory rank was Myerstown school
in South Dickinson township and q
number of others are expected to
reach the same goal before the end
of the drive.

ENTENTE HEADS
DISCUSS PEACE
BEFORE SITTING
France Expects President
Wilson 10 Visit Before
Christmas.

Paris, Nov. 16.-The newspapers
here announce that the premiers and
foreign ministers of the Entente were
ABOUT to confer or had even begu :,
to confer, at Paris and Versailles.
This news seems at present to be
premature. Several representatives
of the Allied governments, including
Earl Curzon, member of the British
War Council, and Baron S0nn.no, the
italian foreign minister, certainly
had brief exchanges of views in Paris
with Premier Clemenceau and For
eign Minister Pichon on the question
of peace negotiations. but Earl Cur
zon already has returned to England
and Baron Sonnino goes to Rome
Sunday for the opening of parlia-
ment..
1t probably will not be before the
end of November that the discussion
of the prellminaries can be opened
Until then the Entente chancelleries
will examine the method of work TO
be adopted as well as the cond tions
to be insisted upon.
1t is understood that several of the
Allies already have chosen their
plenipotentiaries. and it would ar
pear that most of the meetings will be
held in Paris, plenary meetings on'y
being held at Versailles. Dispatches
have announced that President VIZ
son will come to France before ltG-
December to be present at the peace
conference, but up to the present
this news has not been confirmed.

EARLY DELIVERY
OF MILK STOPS
FOR THE WINTER
Retailers Also Consider Aban-
donment of Sunday
Sales

Further trials of the daylight
system of milk delivery inaugurated
by dealers in this city will be neces-
sary in order to determine it's feasi-
bility as a permanent measure. If
successful. it is planned to make
milk deliveries throughout the win
ter months between and Z o'clock
in the morning. fully three and four
hours later than the customary time
for serving this product. The Har-
risburg Milk Association and the
Dauphin County Food Administra-
ton are back of the new plan. In
other cities, notably Philadelphia,
the system of daylight delivery has
proved a success.
Milk dealers are also consider
ing the elimination of Sunday de-
liveries by making two on Satur-
day. This step, if taken at all,
will be contingent upon the success
of the daylight delivery plan.

AID TO SOLDIER
FARMERS SOON
Secretary Patton Makes Some
Suggestions to State Com
mission on Subject

The State Commission of Agricul-
ture will probably recommend to the
next Legislature q plan suggested
by Secretary Charles e. Patton to as
sist returned soldiers in buying farms
on the installment plan. The COM
missioners discussed the project at
their meeting here this week and
will seek the opinion of men who
have had experience in organizing
financial institutions. In event that
the plan is backed by financial in
terests the Legislature will be asked
to take early steps in view of the
return of the men next year.
The point is made that there will
be many men who would be ready to
take up farming when they return
from war and that there are many
tracts which are available or which
Will be next year. The scheme is
either to insure these men means
to buy small farms or to help them
get located as tenants.
Secretary Patton has suggested a
plan whereby financial organizations
may be formed that will act along
the lines of building and loan asso-
Citations, to extend financial help to
persons desiring to buy farms or to
tenant farmers desiring to finance
their crops. The plan is for an or
ganization on the basis of building
and loan associations, except that
short time loans can be secured as
well as long term ones.
Secretary Patton says that the
need for such associations is appar-
ent as the Federal Farm Loan sys-
tenn helps only the man who owns
the farm in fee. His suggestion is
to help the man make payments along
the same plan as the Federal Farm
Loan. Under such system an own
er would be enabled to secure help
after his first payment on a farm and
would be given loans on his crops
that would assure his meeting the
additional payments. Arrangements
could also be made for financing
these worthy farmers in securing the
most improved implements, best fer
tilizers and seed in order to bring
crops that would help the farmer
to meet the obligations assumed
through the new order Agricultural
Loan Association. All the loans on
crops can be paid after the harvest
of the crops and the farmer is en-
abled to go into the market and Sc
cure what material he requires for
the better system of farming.

Train Running Late Hits
Wreckage Left by Freight

Johnstown, Nov. 16.-Pennsylvania
Limited train No. 5, westbound and
running late. was wrecked near Boil
var last night when it plowed into
the debris of an eastbound freight
train which had been scattered over
the tracks by the breaking of an
axle. 1t is reported here the engine
of the fast train went over an en-
bankment and that four cars left
the rails. A baggagemaster is said
to be dead and the crew of the ex-
press engine injured. The express
train was pulled back to connection
with the Conemaugh division and
sent westward by that line.
