NO oVERDRAFTS At BANKS.
All Banks Of County Agree Not to Per-
nit Practice.

All banks Of the county have agreed
that, beginning Dec. I. they will permit
no overdrafts. This is done upon the
demand of the banks by tho conlptr Her
Of the currency and the state superin-
tendent Of banking. that the banks
cease the practice Of permitting GUS
toners to overdraw their accounts. The
bank examiner construc the practice
Of paying overdrafts to be misappli-
cation of funds for II a bank cashes a
check when a customer has overdrawn
his account, the money belonging to
other than the customer must be used
temporily to make the payment. Per-
sons therefore must keep track Of their
balances and not overdraw their ac-
counts.
The practice OF paying overdrafts has
always been a constant source OF an
noyance to banks everywhere, and
with each customer being careful not to
oyerdraw the now rule will prove no
hardship. Most overdrawn accounts
are due to carelessness, the bankers
say.

BACKYARD POULTRY

THE Dauphin County Poultry
Commission urges Harrisburg
people to raise chickens in their
back yards. Properly housed and
cared for poultry may be raised with
out offense to neighbors or danger
to health even in the closely built
sections of towns and cities. The
Poultry Commission, through it's
chairman, Ehrman B. Mitchell, is
ready to show how this may be done.
Poultry raising just now is not
only household economy but a pa
triotic duty. To increase the meat
and food supply Is as essential as
to buy bonds or enlist for the war.
The family with a small flock of
hens not only has an egg supply and
a meat reserve, but it has profitable
means of turning its table refuse,
which otherwisswould go to the gar
bage can, into high priced foods
The garbage problem is solved for
the household that has a chicken.
coop on the backlor and egg prices
have few terrors for the owners ol

And she wept at the very thought,
So he stayed at home while across
the foam
The war of the worlds was fought!
He was held and bound to the daily
round
BY the tolls of clinging love
That would make the goal of an
eagles soul
The cote of a cooling dove.
He wanted to co." but his wife cried
moi"
And she held him there with her.
While the news that came from the
wars great game
Set his brain and his heart awhirr;
He was mad" to sail on the soldiers
To venture and fisk and dare.
To face the brunt at the very front
OF the fighting over there.
He wanted to CO." but his wife
walled mol"
Unequal to sacrifice.
Though the chains might chafe she
would hold him safe
And she paid heavy price!
For his love turned hate for his
selfish mate,
As the strongest passion can,
So she lost her "romance"-and he
his chance
To live or to die Man!

Remember that you are always in

suggested by either Senator Penrose
or Mr.. Grundy. and whose independ-
ence in politics is attested both by
his record in the Legislature and
the fact that he once strongly op-
posed the choice of Mr.. Penrose for
United States Senator.
Mr. O'Neil says he finds the peo-
pie of the State strongly in favor
of the adoption of the Sheppard
amendment" We hope that is true
and we believe it is, but here again
the Highway Commissioner misses
his target, for the prohibition issue
is not involved in the selection Of
Republican candidates for governor.
Messrs. Sproul and Habgood, the Only
Republican candidates whose cam
paigns have made any considerable
progress in the State, are heartily in
favor of prohibition. as is Mr.. O'Neil
himself.
The inference the Highway Com
missioner candidate tries to make is
that he is the only genuine prohibit
ton candidate in the field, which
is not true, and also that by, accept
ing the support of the Republican
organization Senator Sproul has
committed some offense, the precise
nature of which is not clear. But
does not Mr.. O'Neil remember that
he himself accepted the endorsement
of that same organization when he
was confirmed for State Insurance
Commissioner by the votes and favor
of men high in the councils OF
this same Republican organization?
Surely he does not expect the public
to forget matters of such recent
record.
In submitting his candidacy to the
people, Senator William G. Sproul
recognized the importance of the
prohibition amendment and placed
himself squarely on record in favor
of its ratification, but he doesn't
harp on this one string to the ex-
clusion of other vital issues which
have to do with the gubernato-ial
campaign. His attitude is that of
citizen experienced in public affairs
who seeks in big and broad way to
serve his State. His public addresses
are not filled with denunciation of
other candidates or political leaders
who happen to differ with him, but
have been admirable in their sane
and common sense treatment of live
questions which are forcing them
selves upon public attention. Senator
Sproul seems to sense more clearly
than most men the large problems
which must be dealt with after the
war. And because he has gone be-
fore the people in this way be con-
tinues to grow in favor among all
classes of citizens.
Deplorable as is the factional con-
troversy in the Republican party, it
must be remembered that the real
interest of the people of Pennsylva-
MIA is in the election of men thor
oughly qualified for the public serv-
ice. They care little about the other
factors in the contest.

IN ETROIT is dry" That city,
which has borne the reputa-
ton of being as wet as the Sa-

STORAGE SPACE

= T is a matter of regret that Har-
risburg, which is in the midst. Of
fertile agricultural and truck
gardening region and contiguous to
the Pennsylvania apple and peach
belts, does not have cold storage ia
cilities of greater capacity. We are
all much concerned about our sup
ply of food next winter and spring,
and every day we see it go through
our gates from our own district to
other places where cold storage
warehouses have been erected
through local enterprise.
1t is not generally known that
Harrisburg does great deal of pre-
paration of meat products and that
various perishable foods are assem-
bled here. Neither is it realized that
there will soon be tremendous in
crease in poultry raised in this lower
Susquehanna valley group of coun-
ties. Farmers are finding that there
is money in sheep and hogs, as we'll
as grain and vegetables. and as for
potatoes, they will be raised in great
quantities by smaller growers and,
if not as extensively as last year on
the farms, yet on a scale that will be
worth while.
The point is that If we had cold
storage plants here. we could store
up lots of food and we would not be
buying next winter provender that
was raised near our city, shipped
through it, stored some where else
and brought back here, with storage
and rail charges added. when we
wanted it.

This indisputable fact is that af-
firmative action by Pennsylvania on
the Federal prohibition amendment
is dependent altogether on the cleo
ton of state senators and represen-
tion. And it follows that. since
Pennsylvania is overwhelmingly Re-
publican, success is to be achieved
only by the election of Republicans
so ledged.-Pittsburg Gazette
Times.
The best justification of the Pres
ident's insistence upon his unpre-
cedented grant of power was unwit-
tingly offered by Senator Lodge in
the Senate debates. The Senator
has often rightly declared that this
is not the Presidents war" but yes
terday he critically declared: ''If he
