party leaders present were 1ubilant
at the outcome. The Indiana men
credited Hays with winning the last
election for the Republicans. His
friends said he was in line for the
next nomination for governor. Frank
ii. Hitchcock voiced the general feel
ing when he said:
Il am perfectly delighted. Hays is
an exceptionally efficient man and
there is no better organizer"
, The sentiment of the National
Committee was expressed by Sen
ator Boies Penrose. who said:
Republicans throughout the coun-
try will be sincerely sratified to learn
that the National Committee adj
iourned with complete harmony pre-
vailing on every side. The discussion
relating to the various matters COM
ing before the committee, and par
ticularly to the question of the chair
manship. WIS conducted in an
amicable spirit, without any faction
al division, and with the single view
to party unity and party success.
Mr.. Hays has been chairman OF
the Republican state committee of
Indiana in several hard-fought bat
ties resulting in Republican successes
and he has the reputation of being
one of the best political organizers in
the country. He seems to have the
peculiar qualifications required at
this time and he will have the full
cooperation of the National Com
mittee."

says. reaching a ffteen-foot stage

The only trouble reported on the
Susquehanna river system was in the
Wyoming Valley lowlands. which are
flooded. Gorging ice has caused To-
cal trouble in lowlands adjacent to
the river on both its branches. This
trouble will probably occur in places
along the main stream when the ice

expected. bringing a temperature of
about twenty degrees tomorrow

Traces Business Methods
Back to Biblical Times

I'VE can trace business methods
back to Biblical times" declared
Charles Beckley, of the Beckley
Business School, who addressed the
weekly luncheon of the Kiwanis
Club at the Elks clubhouse at noon
to-day. For instance, there was
Noah, who floated the first limited
interesting address, in which he
told many things worth much to the
average business man. Homer Meyer
explained many phases of the ad-
vertising game in popular language.
Captain George +. Lumb, president
of the Harrisburg Rotary Club,
brought greetings from his organ
ization. and addressed the Kiwanis
.Clubmembers on the psychology of
craftsmanship. His address was re-
plete with practical information and
facts about salesmanship. DO we

used every member of the club.
Give your customer something
more than mere goods; be human"
was the trend OF Captain Lumb's
talk. 1T is sometimes ebtter to
make a friend than a profit" he de-
clared.
Frank Downey. of the Gately and
Fitzgerald Supply Company, pre-
sented a Nictrola record cleaner TO
each member of the club and each
guest present. Paul Furman, of the
Sterling Auto Tire Company, dis
tributed ten-cent cigars to everyone

pause to listen.
Great interest is being manifested
by businessmen throughout the city
in the Kiwanis Club. Many new
members have been received and
more are coming in every week.
Prospects are that there will be a
long waiting list in many of the
professions represented.

Camp Secretaries
There are eighty-three camps OF

dition to this there are the men
abroad in whose behalf cooperation
has been secured from the Jews of

the camps it will be necessary for
the board to supply camp secretar-

the needs of each individual Jew

numbers of the Jewish soldiers are
unable to speak English and must be
handled by workers who can reach

Borino Pole Holes.

The tiresome and time consuming
work of digging holes for telegraph
and electric service poles is now at an
end, says Scientific American. At least,
there has been evolved a gasoline
driven earth-boring machine which
makes an average boring time per hole
of one and one-ha1f to two minutes.
The equipment is mounted on horse
drawn truck and is operated by two
men. In ordinary soil it maintains an
average of 100 holes per day, each
measuring five feet deep by "a inches
in diameter. The equipment consists
of a truck, which carries gasoline en-
CINE, driving mechanism and huge
auger which is slowly rotated and fed
downward. The augers are furnished
in sizes from 2 to "a inches.

Hold No Grudue.

Time brings many changes. Take
for instance the fellows who vOlun-
teered their services when war was
declared and who have since been pro-
noted to be commissioned officers.
Some of these men tOiled in shops and
Offices and had to toe the mark for
clerks or fOremen to get fired. Then
came the draft and these same clerks
and fOremen became dOughbOys and
now take orders from their former Of
flee boys and employees. Some humor-
Gus stories have come to light from
the nearby environments, but let it be
said to the credit of the former office
boys, they have not made life I'M
bearable for their superiOrs, although
they have had the opportunity to do
so. AS an illustration of this the 9th
er day doughbOy was serving mess
to his top sergeant. AS he did SO he
spilled some dressing from the salad.
The sergeant noticed this and smiled.
"Just about year ago was serving
you with SOUP said the sergeant, at the
same time mentioning the hotel where
he had worked as serving man, "and
you gave me the devil because it was
cold. I'm not going to kick because
you spilled the dressing. I'm going to
treat you right" And that is the gen.
eral spirit throughout the camps.
