the committee on industrials has sent
letter to every member of that
committee in which he urges the i'm

every employe of the concern having
bought a bond.
MELVILLE Repeats
The newspapers have told that the
South ward of Newville. Cumberland
county, reached 100 per cent. per-
fection. To-day came the word that
the North ward of the borough has
done the same thing, so that two
honor flags will float over the town.
Canadians Have Left
After three strenuous days in the
Harrisburg district in which they
worked every minute of the time IN
their efforts to increase the sales
of Liberty Bonds, the members of
the Canadian eXpeditionary forces
have gone to other fields. They at
tracted much attention in the dis
trict and made great impression
wherever they spoke. Lieutenant
McCallum and Sergeant Major Dick
son went to Lebanon to-day, Lieuten-
ants Reinville and Hersey to Lewis
town and dsPrivate Wider to Lock
Haven.
These young men performed mob
ly and accomplished great work
in the Harrisburg district" said Dom
aid Mccormick to-day.
Told Souter's Why
Private Wider said last night that
one of the most interesting audi
ences he had ever talked before was
that in Souter's store in Market street
at $50 yesterday afternoon. AS a
result of the meeting the bond sales
in Souter's were very numerous this
morning.
Halifax Wants Flag
The bond sellers in Halifax say
that town will be entitled to an honor
flag before they are through with
their efforts. A meeting was held last
