]. r. Missimer, Well-Known
Mount Joy Editor, Dies

Mount JOY, Pa, Jan. IA. John
r. Missemer, editor and publisher
of the Mount Joy Star and News,
died on Friday evening at { o'clock.
He was born March "a, 1851, on a
farm along the Chiques Creek in
Mount Joy township, and was a son
of George and Elizabeth Missemer.
Mr., Missimer spent the first twen-
ty-five years of his life on the farm
where he was born. There he re-
Ceived the education which the
country schools afforded Mt tnat
time. At the age of. seventeen he
was granted "a teachers certificate
by the county superintendent and be
taught school in his native township
three terms. When he was twenty
two years of age he was elected a
justice of the peace for five years, at
the expiration of which he was
elected for a second term. During
that time he carried on an extensive
business as a surveyor.
In 1876 Mr.. Missemer engaged in
the newspaper and printing business
which he had followed ever since
At that time he established the Mil
tton Grove News and two years later
consolidated the two newspapers un-
der the title of the Mount Joy Star
and News, which paper he published
for ten years. Mr.. Missemer con-
Quoted a newspaper syndicate for q
number of years, during which time
he edited and published the Florir
Independent, the cambridge Ban.
ner, Sporting Hill Messenger, Sal.
unga Siftings and the Landisville
Vigil. In 1883 he purchased the
Steelton Advocate which he publish.
ed for fifteen years, residing al
Steelton during the greater part ot
that time.
In 1898 Mr.. Missemer again pur.
chased the Mount Joy Star anl News
which he had sold six years before
In 1903 he removed from Steelton t.
Mount Joy, but continued to publish
the Advocate until seven years ago
when he sold it. About the same
time he resumed the publication o
the Landisville VIGIL which had no
been issued for some time, and ha:
been published ever since. In 191,
he purchased thu Flor!n News from

movies" showing the Governors s
party at Camp Lee, swnere there are
10000 Pennsylvanians.
Mr.. Taft reviewed the causes or
the war and Mr.. Fess, who COM
piled the documents relative to the
entrance of America into the strug-
gle, told in simple, but rather start
ling way. the incidents that led the
United States into the conflict. Mr..
Taft repeated his address in the Sem
ate chamber and Mr.. Fess also
spoke twice.
The former President said that the
war was a righteous one and that
when it came down to standing be-
hind the President the United States
was as one man. He ridiculed the
German attempts to evade interna-
tional law and denounced them for
ruthless disregard of their plighted
faith, urging that when the whis-
perers and doubters come around
that they should be chased away.
A good part of Mr.. Taft's address
was devoted to scourgihg the rumor
mongers and the circulators of sim
lister thoughts, and he closed that
part of his address by saying that
men who blow up munitions plants
or put glass in provisions for SOL
diers should be hanged.
Mr., Fess' address showed plainly
what Germany had been aiming at
for years and the evidence he pre-
sented was convincing. America, he
said, must win the war. Russia is
out of it and the Japanese will not
give much aid. Indeed, he inti-
mated that the Japanese might de-
velop into an enemy at some future
time.

in U. S. Camps, Chaplain
Tells His CONGREGATION

Tribute was paid to the morals
and religion of the men with whom
he had been in close contact with
six months by Capt. G. S. Rentz at
Market Square Presbyterian Church
last night. Captain Rentz, assistant
pastor of the CHURCH, was on duty at
Paris Island, near the coast of South
Carolina. He gave many cases of
men who had come to him for advice
and counsel, showing how happy the
men were to have places to go. He
cited an Army officer as saying '"The
man who knocks the Y. NJ. c. A.
doesn't know anything about it. or he
is fool. He gave praise to the work
of the Y. NJ. C. A. and tore away
the old belief that morals in the
Army are lax. He said that men with
good morals maintain them in the
Army, and men with loose morals
are often bettered by the life about
them.
At various churches in the city,
evangelistic campaigns have been
opened. At Stevens Memorial Metho-

Emergency Aid Committee
Gets Backing at Com
munity Meeting

The women of the Camp Hill Civic
club Emergency Aid Committee,
who have been doing wonders in
supplying soldiers with home COM
forts since last March, in a most
enthusiastic meeting yesterday at
the Camp Hill Methodist Church an
nounced q new policy of calling on
the entire population for help. Hith-
erto the industry has been support
ed entirely by private contribution.
The community meeting" was
well advertised and resulted in over
two hundred women responding in
spite of the weather and walking.
Lindley S. Dennis acted as chairman
ana In addition to his stirring talk
three other men addressed the gath
erlng, Willard b. King, Carl X
Deen and Robert Cahill. The facts
OIL what the Camp Hill women have
done quite surprised many who were
not aware of the uncommon out
put. So far this emergency aid
committee, which co-operates with
the state organization, has made and
shipped to France 1925 surgical
dressings; knitted and sent 13O
sleeveless sweaters for boys in serv-
Ice from the West Shore towns;
knitted forty helmets; forwarded
forty feather pillows; forty-two cot
ton pillows; 176 pillow slips; sent
dozens of cases of clothing tC
France, Belgium and Rumania.
Under the organization of Mrs
Carl Deem, chairman, and Mrs. Hard
ing, president of the Civic Club and
Mrs. Seigmund, secretary, a genuine
campaign will now be started to can
Nass the whole town and get every.
body interested. The women are
backed substantially by the men OF
Camp Hill who have formed a COM
mittee which will see that the drive
does not want for funds.
