CORN A CHAMPION CROP

Corn, on given area, will pro-
duce more human food than any
other crop commonly grown on
American farms. This crop
heads the list in units Of energy
produced per acre. and is ahead
of all other crops except navy
beans and soy beans in tissue
building material. In the latter
element soy beans far outclass
all other crops, showing nearly
twice az much protein per acre
as navy beans, which rank Sec
ond in this regard.
The dairy COW is the most eff
cient Of farm animals In the pro
duction Of human food (milk)
and the hog Is the most efficient
in the conversion Of grain into
meat, producing five times as
much per acre Of crops as does
any other animal.
These facts and others are
told In the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture's Farmers
Bulletin 677, "Human Food
From an Acre Of Staple Farm
Products" which gives an acre
for-acre comparison of the food
value of various crops and an
imal products.

URGED TO STOP WASTE OF PAPER

wrapping paper can be reduced by the
following methods:
Do not use more paper than neces-
sary to wrap merchandise.
Do not use heavier paper than nee
essary. Consult your paper dealer as
to the most serviceable and economical
grade.
Use the old paper taken from par
cells delivered to you.
Use newspapers when possible.
Other Savings Possible.
The consumption of tissue paper can
be reduced by eliminating as far as
possible the use of tissue paper for
packing.
Consumption of paper boxes can be
reduced by eliminating Christmas
boxes for holiday gifts and for candy,
by using lighter weight boxes and
using old boxes over again.
A considerable saving in paper bags
can be effected by using the smallest
size bag possible and encouraging Gus
toners to use a market basket for
vegetables.
Consumption of Office stationery can
be reduced by the following methods:
Use lighter weight paper and small
er size envelopes.
Write on both sides of the paper for
long letters
Use one-half and three-quarter
sheets of correspondence paper for
short letters.
Use the backs of letters for carbons.
Make use Of spoiled sheets and
backs Of envelopes for scratch pads.

PULP NEEDED FOR MUNITIONS
People Asked to Use Market Baskets
--CurtaiIment in Use of Tissue,
Paper Bags, Boxes and
Stationery Asked.

Northumberland M. Baruch,
chairman of the war industries board,
has issued an order affecting every re-
tail store throughout the United
States. All merchants are directed to
reduce their consumption of wrapping
paper, bags, paper boxes, stationery,
ETC., to what Is absolutely necessary.
The necessity for this order became
apparent when 1t was realized that
the government would soon be obliged
to divert TO the ammunition manufac-
turers a large quantity of chemical
pulp formerly used In making wrap
ping, tissue, book and other strong pa
pers. The increasing production Of
ammunition and the short cotton crop
make this necessary.
Ask Public to Cooperate.
The cooperation Of the public in
complying with this ruling can be
counted upon, If they are properly In
formed that 1t is necessary as a war
measure. To secure this cooperation
merchants should place placards in
their windows calling attention to the
order Of the war industries board.
Gummed labels bearing the slogan,
Don't Waste Paper" should be used
on all packages and attention should
be directed to the government order in
advertising.
In addition to the discontinuance of
wrapping, consumption of

With gas masks over their arms

Mrs. Russell laid plank over two

wood just back Of the trenches. Here
they watched the men march by into
battle and dropped cigarettes and
candy into their tin bonnets as they
marched back again, triumphant from
the big drive.
There was never such a return
from battle before, surely!" Mrs. As

return to Paris. ''The boys came back
Joking; they came back laughing.

to be just as happy and just as sure

they all were. When you went up to
a boy who lay so still that you feared
he was dead, you would find a cigar

grin on his face"
AS the men marched back past the
impromptu Y. NJ. G. A. canteen they
gave Mrs. Aston and Mrs. Russell
souvenirs of the battlefield.

PRESIDENT WALLOWER
IN HISTORICAL TIOOD

I latter representing the United Hotels
| Company, were employed to pre-
pare the plans. They have produc-
ed an architectural scheme in stone
brick and color, harmonious in de-
sign, as well as complete in equip
ment and decoration, making 1t the
most beautiful in the state outside
of Philadelphia and Pittsburgh.
IAN active canvass for suhscrip-
tions to the stock of the hotel COM
pany was made, with the result that
1t was financed for $1,200,00O. The
addition of the ball or banqueting
room, additional equipment, furn-
ishings, decorations, and the install
lation of a first class cafeteria, will
add an additional 100000, which
amount, l believe, will be readily
subscribed when an opportunity is
given to see the manner in which
the project has been completed.
"a favorable lease has been made
with the United Hotels Company of
America, operating a dozen or more
high-grade hotels in the principal
cities of this country and Canada.
The exceptional character of Har-
risburg as a location for a successful
hotel, gives every promise that the
return on the investment will be sat-
isfactory.
II cannot emphasize too strongly
the public spirit and loyal cooper
alton extended in making the en-
terprise possible. 1t will mark a
new era for the city, and more than
any other factor, contribute to the
development of the city as well as
add to its reputation"

modatlons, while many have walked
! the streets at night seeking shelter.
Naturally. the hotel project has
been uppermost in the minds of
those interested in Harrisburg's well
fare. For many years the subject
| has been discussed, resolved and
abandoned. The false hope of outside
capital deferred the project and led
to many offers of promoters. At
times the project was started, linn
tied number of subscribers secured,
and again abandoned.
while I felt keenly the need of
hotel in keeping with the needs of
the city, other activities influenced
me in declining to take active
charge of raising the money and
planning its erection. l knew the
responsibility involved and that 1t
would require two years of constant
attention. In other words, passed
the responsibility along to others.
However, early in 1916, while
was in Florida, ]. William Bowman,
who had just been elected president
of the Harrisburg Chamber of Com
merce, wrote to e. j. Stackpole,
who was also in Florida with e. S.
Herman, consulting him about the
Chambers work for the year. Mr..
Stackpole urged him to concentrate
on the new hotel project. Later Mr..

and strongly urged that accept. Mr..

GOLF GAME LEADS
TOANEW HOTEL
Chatty Story of Inception of
Big Penn-Harris Hotel
Project
BY ALLEN SANGREE.

TITS a great game-golf," said old
Dan Daley, the comedian, in those
days when the now universal sport
was meagerly practiced in America,
and Mr.. Daley knew something.
Maybe, only for a golf fray the
Penn-Harris would not have been
built. Here is the real inside story:
j. William Bowman, sometimes
known as "the John Wanamaker of
Harrisburg" was holding down the
job of president of the Chamber of
Commerce, and one placid after
noon he received a message from
way down in Florida signed E. ].
Stackpole, urging that he galvanize
his Chamber of Commerce program
with an effort for a new hotel. 1t
was showing a blizzard in Harris
burg, but down on the golf links
the sun beamed and all was merry
as a marriage bell.
From a distant plantation the
twang of an old darkey's banjo
came: "Therell Be No Dark Days"
and as the three Yank sportsmen,
e. u. WaIlower, e. S. Herman and
e. ]. Stackpole, brandished their
golf clubs life seemed sweet: The
stern, callous gaze of business re-
sponsibilities faded to give way to
gluttonous joy in the noble pastime,
for these three capable men realized
that outdoor sport is of supreme
value, not from ogling the antics of
a score of professional or semi-pro-
fessional athletes, but in individ-
ually getting in the game.
In a tragic tee-off, Messrs. Her
man and Stackpole negotiated pif-
fling drives, and Mr.. Wallower, who
had been in secret training at Or
lando followed with a majestic 200
yard wallop, which had direction
and force. Came over him a sub
lime smile of triumph, ripping his
demure countenance like a depth
charge exploded in the adjoining
Tampa Lake, and the Telegraph man
with those instincts born of long
newspaper experience, recognized
the psychological moment.
Let's get him now" he exclaim-
ed, seizing Golfer Herman's shouI-
der, and in all his sublime radiance
of triumph, they charged upon their
victim, who fairly staggered as he
kept a narrow eye on the white pei
let and listened to his companions
emphatic request. AS the game ad-
vanced and Mr.. Wallower maintain
ed his lead, there could be noticed
warming of his heart-cockles, an
expansion of his solar pleXus; an
aura of benevolence that glowed like
gold when he finished with three
up" at the nineteenth hole. And
that night Messrs. Stackpole and
Herman cuddled together as they
left Florence Villa, tongue in cheek.
You got him, e. j." echoed Mr..
Herman. ''Harrisburg's got it's ho-
tel"

ITO outline the history of the

ed e. 2. Wallower, president of the

lbe writing ancient history. The
/ need of this hotel had existed Tor
many years. Fifty years ago the

Commonwealth has recently been
converted into an office building,
and the Lochiel reduced in capacity
by the installation of the Colonial
Theatre.

Chamber of Commerce. While per-
suaded, l felt unwilling to add to
my other responsibilities just then.
A Duty to the City.
But after my return home I felt
1t duty to the city, and believed
that 1 would meet with hearty CO.
operation. In this have not been
disappointed. The results speak for
themselves. The matter was placed
not only in the light of an invest
ment, but civic duty. The Cham
ber of Commerce was made the
sponsor and actively participated,
while the Rotarians championed the
enterprise and gave their hearty CO.
operation.
"The old Opera House corner was
a gaping wound in our body polite
for years, and it's continuance en-
phasized the need of a modern sub
stitute for the hole in the ground
at one of the most prominent loca-
tions in our city.
while the highest in value, its
location and accessibility, as we'll as
it's rental value, made it the logical
site for a hotel. Hence the Harris
burg Hotel Company was organized,
and the site purchased. Architects
were selected and plans made for a
comprehensive, up-to-date hotel, of
sufficient size to accommodate the
needs of the city. The directors de-
cided to give Harrisburg a building
of which the people could be proud.
