S2,00O,000 For ADVERTISING

THE direct way to the attention
and goodwill of the public lies along
the path of advertising and service,
the inseparable forces of successful
modern merchandising" says Earl d.
Babst, president of the American
Sugar Refining Company. in his an
nual report made this week. Ad-
dressing the stockholders, Mr.. Babst
continues:
Your company has unexcelled
quality, uniformity, and variety of
products, the advantage of highly
organized service, to which we are
now adding an increasing volume of
sugars packed in household units
and identified by trademarks and
trade-names, thus providing the OPP
portunity for national advertising to
build an enduring goodwill of as
much advantage to the public as to
the company.
I'VE are adding the sum of ST.
100000 to our trademark advertis-
ing reserve, bringing that item up to
S2,O00,O00. 1t is the purpose of this
reserve to make certain a continuous
advertising policy, through good and
poor years"
The American Sugar Refining
Company is probably the largest
manufacturer and distributor in the
world of a single food product.

tinction of all wars of aggression.
No opportunity must ever come again
for any nation or people, or any COM
bination of nations or peoples, how
ever strong or numerous, to seek that
universal domination shown by ex-
perience to be impossible, which, if
it were possible would mean the
destruction of human progress.
I'VE are proud to be associated
with America as Allies in so great a
cause. our duty thus keeps pace
with our obligation and both are
guided by our highest desires. We,
like you, have enlisted until the war
is settled and settled right; you, like
ourselves, have no favors to ask,
and neither seeks conquests or in
IDENTITIES; both merely ask that they
may live their own lives, settle their
own problems, smooth out their
common differences or difficulties,
and do their best, along with all
other peoples, to make the world a
better, not q worse, place to live in. ="
In our relations with the United
States we have tried to do our duty,
not only in the war, but in everything
else that shows our friendship.

NTHETHER or not the school
Wv teachers of Harrisburg are
entitled to all of the increased
pay for which they ask, under the
circumstances, is a matter for the
School Board to decide on the basis
of the financial status of the school
district, but certainly they plead
just cause.
Something must be done for the
teachers If they are not to go into
other lines of work. Living has gone
up much more rapidly than pay for
teaching school and unskilled labor
ers are now receiving twice and
three times as much as men and
women who have spent years of time
and much money in preparing them
selves for their work. There can be
but one result if this continues-the
lowering of the standards of our
schools at a time when the greatest
urgency exists for increasing their
efficiency.
Hundreds of school teachers are
going into war work. Others are en-
listing. School teachers are at a
premium and something must be
done to keep those who remain in
the profession contented and in posi-
ton to meet their growing financial
obligations, as well as to encourage
we'll qualified young men and women
to consider teaching as a life work.

A MANS DUTY

The woman who stands beside her
man to urge him on to victory over
self and over the enemy is heroic in
his eyes, and the memory of her
courage, of her understanding and
sympathy. will go with him even
unto death.
A woman can make or break the
man who loves her, and women are
doing it all the time.
The men they make are the men
who are encouraged and helped to
do their duty as they see it.
The men they break are the men
whose right to fulfill their duty is
denied them or interfered with.
- Just as the greatest pleasure in
life is the satisfaction in duty well
done, so there is no greater joy pos
sible to n woman than the knowl-
edge that she has helped the man
she loves, in the supreme test, not to
falter but to do what he knows to
be his duty.
And the reason why no punish
ment is named in the category of
crimes for the modern Jezebel who
effects the distortion of a mans
sense of duty is because the penalty
always fits the crime.
That there are not many thou
sands more suicides among women

A YEAR OF WAR

" O-DAY one year ago the United
States entered the world war
forced into it by Germany's
greed for dominion, the Kaiser's lust
for power and the murderous brutal
ity of his war methods. It is not
longer necessary to explain why we
are at war. The whole country knows
that either we must fight it out "over
there" or over here" So the war
has come home to each of us and
on the anniversary of our entrance
into the conflict it is natural that we
should look back over the tumul-
tous. tempestuous twelve months just
ended and ask ourselves, what have
we as nation done, and has it been
more or less than we have a right to
expect of so great a people?"
The answer to the last half of the
question is yes and no. Yes, in that
we have without hesitation staked
our all for the attainment of a great
ideal; no, for the reason that we
might have accomplished more in a
material way than we have. Per-
haps history will be more kindly in
its judgment of our first year of the
war than we of the present, anxious
TO do our full part and impatient TO
bring our overwhelming resources
quickly to bear against the foe, find
possible, for with all our delays, and
failures and shortcomings, we really
have accomplished marvels. And we
have this atisfaction-that what we
have done has proved the deciding
factor in the war for the year, for
without our billions, our ships, our
food, our men and our moral sup
port, the cause of the Allies would
be most precariously near the brink
of grave disaster at this moment,
In the year we have put the nation
on a war basis without seriously dis
tressing business. We have over
subscribed two Liberty Loans of
nearly seven and three-quarter bill
lions; we have expended for war pur-
poses nearly ten billions; we have
loaned to our Allies nearly five bill
lions; we have given several hundred
million To the Red Cross and nearly
as much to other lines of war work;
We have entered upon the most
gigantic ship building program the
world has ever known and despite
many blunders are getting on with
it: we have increased our naval force
from $4,000 men to 100000 and our

MOB LAW AND REMEDY

STHE expected has happened. Mob
law has been called into use to
punish offensive pro-Germans in
the United States. Americans are
law-abiding people. patient and long
suffering. But when they are finally
goaded to the point of meteing out
justice for themselves they do their
york swiftly and with little mercy.
For the present outbreak Congress
is very largely responsible. A strin-
gent and drastic loyalty law should
have been written on the statute
books at the very outstart of the war
and vigorously enforced. If that had
been done pro-Germanism would
have been kept in restraint, many
crimes against individuals and the
government would have been pre-
vented or punished and order would
have been preserved. But with law
courts offering no means of getting
at the alien enemies who have been
insulting patriotic citizens by their
utterances and holding back the pro-
gress of the war by their acts, it was
not difficult TO see that when the
feelings of the people had been suf-
ficiently aroused they would them
selves assume the role of prosecutor,
court, judge and jury-and some
times eXecutioner.
The remedy lies with the law
makers at Washington, who at last
appear to be approaching a realiza-
ton of the gravity of the situation.
Regrettable as it is that mob-law
has been forced upon patriotic
Americans, the recent chastisement
of disloyal residents at the hands OF
outraged citizens is not without its
pleasing side. 1t shows that we are
taking the war seriously, determined
TO see it through and to permit moth
ing to stand in the way of its prose
cution.

Arb0r Day in PENNSYLVANIA
BY BRIGGS

Governor Brumbaugh has set
aside Friday, April IL, and Friday,
April 26, as arbor days. City people
as a rule cannot do much in the way
of tree planting.
In the suburbs and the country
the two days designated in the Gov
ernors proclamation should be very
generally observed. Now is the time
to make two blades of grass where
but one grew before; now is the time
to do something useful, and it must
be admitted that the man who
plants a tree has performed an act
that will live after him.
The Governor, in his announce
ment, says that we cannot look upon
a treeless country as great country
and this is a literal truth. A coun-
try without trees is little better than
desert, and desert is not a desir-
able place for anyone to live. Penn
sylvania is one of the great agricul-
tural states, and it would be a good
thing If tree planting, both by indi-
viduals and by the public authori-
ties, should add to it's reputation for
forestry Inquirer.

First: A sound bodily condition
such as will not permit of the break

to mention the possible loss of life.
Second: Strength and endurance

character that makes him capable
of persistence. Energy and endur-
ance are the vital qualities back of
initiative, ambition and push"
Third: The ability oendure the
strain and tension of civilized life.
This is mt in the form of exposure
to cold and wet. 1t is of a different
kind. 1t involves nervous strain.
often emotional strain. The excite
ment of business life may be just
as wearing as the strain of battle.
One never knows when he will meet
some crisis which will tax his sys-
tenn, his heart, his nerves, his pow
ers of resistance generally, to the
breaking point.
The first requirement in harden
ing and conditioning the body is
exercise. hemeHlDeT IIlaI IL is not

chiefly valuable because 1t builds
constitutional strength, because 1t
means exercise for the internal or

because the constitutional strength
so built up and the improved quality
of the blood so acquired are the
basis of that nervous strength which
IS necessary to endure strain of any
kind.

army from little over 10000 not
counting National Guardsmen, to
more than a million and a half, the
Guardsmen included. We have ap-
proximately 100000 men in France
and in addition to holding several
sections of the line have 100000
trained soldiers ready for a part in
the great spring drive now under
way.
We have voluntarily placed our
selves on restricted diet of wheat and
meat until the recent cancellation
of the ''wheatless day" recommen-
dation and have gone seriously to
work to produce much of our own
food that our Allies may not go
hungry. Possibly no feature of the
years activities will attract more at
tention in history than this will to
sacrifice on the part of the American
people, who, in q land of plenty, went
"wheatless" and "meatless" that
millions of other people, thousands
of miles away, might have their three
meals a day.
What we have done the past year
has been full of faults and justly sub
iect at times to severe criticism, but
nevertheless it will prove the turn
ing point of the war-it will provide
the balance that will bring down the
scales in favor of democracy. The
Germans realize the weight of the
bolt we are forging more fully than
we ourselves. That is the reason they
have thrown their all into the spring
offensive now under way. They know
that they must win before our blow
falls; that it is now or never. For
we shall do much more the coming
twelve months than we did in those
just closed. With our shipping pro-
gram in full swing and the subma-
rine campaign nullified; with a steady
stream of supplies and soldiers pour
ing across the Atlantic; with our re-
of Germany gradually ebbing, an
other anniversary will bring us much
nearer to victory than now appears.
We are just getting under way; by
and by we shall sweep forward with |
resistless force.
What has happened on the battle
fields during the year is of small con-
sequence to us. Our eyes are on the |
future and If. we pause to look back |
for moment it is only that we may |
take courage from our successes and
lessons from our failures. The big
thing is that while we have done a
work we are not content with
it; which is a most encouraging sign.
