With their working forces already

War Reduces SaIespeopIe
Big additions previously made to
salesforces during the holiday sea-
son will not be made this year. One
reason is that it is practically i'm
possible to get the necessary help
! the other because the stores have

| Board that, in lieu of the lifting of
the so-called ban on Christmas
| shopping" they will not increase
their forces as they hitherto have
| done.
Ready For Santa i'm October
Practically every store in town
will be ready during the early days
of October to make sale of Christmas
goods in order to relieve the strain on
their employees during the holiday
season and to better serve their GUS

| take heed and do their shopping
early" said George Bogar, of the
! Bogar Sporting Goods Store, which
sells large amount of Christmas
articles. "By coming early, he point
ed out, they may get their pick of
| Christmas articles, will have their
| needs more satisfactorily cared for,

governmental requests"
THE War Industrial Board" said
David Kaufman of the Kaufman's S
| Underselling Stores, has favored the
merchants by lifting the ban on unes-
sential Christmas articles, after IT

had already been secured. Now it

of the government.
"They have asked us not to in

season beyond the average force be-
cause of the urgent need for help in
other industries, and this will GER

chants of Harrisburg. But it is in

having it's purchases cover as long u
period of time as possible. In this
way only" he warned, will we be
able to meet the needs of people of

People Must Aid
"Only through the aid of the peo-
ple," William II. Bennethum, man
ager of Dives, Pomeroy and Stewart,
said, will we be able to get rid of
our big stock of Christmas merchan-

Sour Stomach
Mi-o-na Puts the Stomach in
Fine Shape in Five Minutes

If your stomach is continually kick
ing up a disturbance; you feel bloat-
ed and distressed; if you belch gas
you need Mi-o-na Stomach Tablets.
Mi-o-na stomach tablets give in
slant relief, of course, but they do
more; they drive out the poisonous
gases that cause fermentation of
food and thoroughly clean, rennovate
and strengthen the stomach so that
it can readily digest food without
artificial aid.
Mi-o-na stomach tablets are guar
anteed to end Indigestion, acute or
chronic, or money back. This means
that nervousness, dizziness and
biliousness will disappear. Druggists
everywhere and II. c. Kennedy sell
Mi-o-na.

ours may remain open. 1t is very
doubtful if, supposing the cir

AT 2.30 p. m. the scheduled hour
for calling of the game, the players
still were in the clubhouse talking
over the situation.
Some of them were wondering If
they had enough money to pay their
way home.
The crowd had something to cheer
for when large detachment of
wounded soldiers brought to this
country from overseas last Saturday
arrived in the grandstand and took
box seats. The entire grandstand and
the bleachers rose en- masse, while
the band played "Over There" and
gave the heroes three lusty cheers,
the loudest and the most heartfelt
that have yet been given in the series.
During the continued absence of
the players the band made gallant
efforts to entertain the crowd which
was showing remarkable patience.
At 3 p. m. Ban Johnson and Garry
Hermann, representing the National
Commission and Harry Hooper of the
Red SoX, and Leslie Mann, of the
Cubs, representing the players, still
were wrangling. Hermann and
Johnson explained the commissions

ers' representatives, but the dead
lock showed no signs of a change.
After the game had been held up
for half an hour an announcer stated
through a megaphone that the game
would begin sin about fifteen min

1t would seem we'll nigh superilous
now to urge young men and women to
90 to school. One Of tile most striking
lessnos Of this war IS the absolute
and paramount necessity OF thorough
and efficient education Every youth
not subject to draft should attend
school this year. War preparation
demands IL, and business after the
war will need it and pay wen for it,
President Wilson issues an urgent call
to the young people who have recent
ly graduated from high schools TO
avail themselves wherever possible OF
the opportunity offered by colleges
and technical schools. Never before
were our colleges so well prepared to
train youth. Never before were col
lege courses so closely related to the
needs of industry and business. Not
only does the call come personally
to young men and women who would
win their way best in the worlds
work, but above and beyond this is the
patriotic call.
America needs and must have now
and for years after the war an ade-
qIate supply OF trained men and wo-
men. Keep the schools fun; high
schools and grades as well as col
ieges. Let there be no Stacking nor
slackers in this most important mat
ter

There seems TO have been very IN

yiously by secret agents OF Germany
u the effect that savings banks de-
posits are to be confiscated, 1t is dif-
ficult to believe that any person n
America would credit such a report
for an instant.

fest, but in order 10 allay the fears
oil .cw who might be alarmed by
sucl. reports, he repeats officially that
these Tumors are wholly baseless.
There Is but one thing that will in
the least put in danger OF confiscation
the savings OF the American people,
whether deposited in savings banks or
other banks or invested in Liberty
bonds or any other investments, and
tnat one thing is a German victory.
1t is not the American government
that our people should fear, but the
German government. and with the
American soldiers lighting as they

pie supporting their government as
they are in America. the American
people, their liberty. their rights, and
