Good Sign Of the Tfmen.

Tho reports of the scarcity OF farm
labor continue to come in from every
part Of Virginia, hut all the same it is
very evident that the farmers are plan :
ming TO attempt ve:y large crops this
year. This is made plain by the heavy
sales in this city of all manner OF
farming implements from the modest
little wedding hoe up to the big wheat
threshcrs. The sales Of plows cspe-
cially have been very large. The Dixie
Plow works report very large sales Of
their celebrated plows. They antici-
patcd large demand for these i'm
plcments this season and made ample
preparations TO meet it. This active
inquiry for the old fashioned -piow,
brought up to date, is n good sign
of the times.

nc,tcr Railway EARNINGS ncportea.

y pronounced turn for the better is
now shown in the returns of United
States railroads making weekly state
mcnts of gross earnings. the total Of
all roads that have SO far reported for
the first week in February. according
to Dun's Review, amounting to s7.49a' .
053, an increase of 10 per cent, as
compared with tho corresponding
period year ago. This is the best
comparison made by the opening week
in any month since last October, and
undoubtedly reflects the efforts Of the
railroad arrangements TO clear up the
congestion of traffic that was such a
severe restriction on the movement of
freight during December and January.
More favorable weather conditions in
many sections have also been of ma
terial assistance, and the outlook now
for normal volume Of railroad busi-
ness is apparently quite encouraging.

Fire Destroys Section Of
Newport Tanning Works

Newport, Pa, Oct. IA fire
which for q time threatened to
spread beyond control of the local
fire-fghting forces and caused. the
town council to call upon the
Friendship Fire Company of Har-
risburg to send aid, about 1880
o'clock this morning began in the
dressing room of the liquor cooling
building of the Elk Tanning Com
pany and completely destroyed the
building.
The building was about 40X16 feet,
of frame construction. No one was
in it when the flrt started. Seventy
men usually are employed in the
building, which is on the north side
of West Second street. The loss is
$4,000, company official esti-
mated this morning. Besides a stor-
age room for the tanning liquor
used in the tanning of leather, 1t
houses the carpenters room and
mems dressing room. The clothes
! of many of the workmen were de-
stroyed in the fire.

the local fire company and the rail-
road chemical company The call

cancelled after the local companies
got it under control.

"Talk to Foch," Reply
of Paris to Germany

Paris, Oct. 1.-THE Paris news
papers do not enthuse over the Ger
man reply to President Wilson's
note. More space is given to the news
of the military successes of the AL
lies than the discussion of the Ger
man document.
In the popular discussion of the
reply the suspicion persits that Ger
many is evading the issue in some re-
spects at least, the feeling being that
she has not gone far enough. 1t is
pointed out that the German consti-
tuition is as yet unchanged, and that
liz it may, be said the government is
responsible to the people it is like
wise responsible to the emperor.
1t is further inquired if there is
to be a surrender whether it should
not be a surrender to Marshal Foch,
the Allied commander-in-ch chief, who
alone can accept the kind of a sur
render the Allies desire.

Facing the Facts
BY Rev. DIR. Robert Bagnell

/. The Kaiser would like to have
peace If he could get 1t and save his
skin. He does not expect peace at
tnis time. The purpose of the peace
offensive is military 1t is timed to
meet and halt our military offensive
and to cut the nerve of the Fourth
Liberty Loan. He will not succeed in
hating the great Allied military
drive. 1t looks very much as Ii he
had been successful in cutting the
nerve of the Liberty Loan drive, at
least in Harrisburg. That will be
good news in Germany.
,. The soldiers and sailors are very
much concerned about the folks at
home. One question frequently ask
ed me while | was in France was,
will the folks at home measure up
on the Fourth Liberty Loan?" The
boys are measuring up in France. If
this should be our final report on the
Liberty Loan-the report that we have
failed-it will mean that the boys
will hang their heads in shame when
the report comes in. Are we willing
| to have the boys ashamed of us2
3. Causes of failure: (a) We are
going to have peace, some think.
There are two answers to that: First,
it is not likely that the war will be
over till next summer. President Will
son and the Germans are too far
apart. Second. if we had peace at
once every cent would be needed to
get our boys back. (b) Many are not
selfish, or do not realize the serious
ness of the situation. They are not
willing to make any sacrifices, or to
borrow the money. if necessary. to
back them up. Again. unquestion-
ably, some of 1t is pro-German propa-
ganda. In every such case efficient
measures ought to be taken by the
committee to smoke them out"
Such people are not safe to be at
large, and this ought not to be safe
place for them to be in. Then there
are others who think if they do not
take bonds the banks will take care
of them. or the rich men of the COM
munity will. The banks cannot do it
all. 1t would be a bad thing for them
to overload. And the rich men must
do all they can anyhow. 1t is neces-
sary for the rank and file of the peo-
| pie to take bonds because otherwise
we shall fail to reach the quota. And
| because it is necessary for the world
| to know, especially Germany. that we
are back of our President. The moral
effect is mighty important. ...

| button. Every house ought to have
| the sign in the window, and any citi-
! zen has a right to ask why not" II
