THIS Is THE YEAR
u AISE your hat to the Glad New Year,
Raise your voice with a hopeful cheerl
Make a VOW that while it STAYS

Raise your voice with a hopeful cheeri
Make a VOW that while it stays
You'll make the most of its glorious days,
And
What? That sort of resolve is old?
Sounds like a tale too often told?
You've made it every New Years day,
Then frittered the live-long year away?
Well, s'posing you have? What's that to do
With this particular year? It's newi
New, you crouch, not the same old kind
Of muddled up year you've left behindi
New each day and each minute tool
New; each second is f~resh-laid, newi
New for the things you've left undonel
New for the races you haven't runl
New for ambitions unachieyedl
New for mistakes unretrieyedl
New for unfinished efforts tool
New for the things you mean to do!
Never one day in its bill of fare
Is like another day anywhere.
And If a year can be fresh and new
Why in the dickens can't you be too?
You can! So wash from your care-stained face
Of memory's dirt the last small trace.
Put on Ambitions garments bright,
Light your cigar with the Futures light
And say to yourself: "The old years dead.
Bury it deepl Look right aheadl
Here's a New Year laid out for me,
AS full of chances as it can be,
So out of my way and let me gol
It's up to me, and by jingsl I'll showF'
Then startl And keep at til Hang onl Stick!
You'll notice the difference mighty quick,
And you'll find, before rs halfway through,
It's the Happiest kind of a year for you!

Methodist Conference
FavOrs Dry Amendment;
Gov. Brumbaugh to Speak

Philadelphia, March 13. - The
Philadelphia conference, Methodist
Episcopal Church, to-day placed on
record its unanimous support of the
national prohibition amendment.
The resolution, adopted amid
great enthusiasm, followed a de-
nunciation of liquor by Bishop Jo-
seph f. Berry, resident bishop of
Philadelphia, at the opening of the
131st session of the conference.
The bishop declared it is more re-
ligious to vote than pray against rum
on election day, adding that the time
has come for the church to throttle
this lawless, black handed enemy.
The sessions, embracing the con-
ference membership in, -the territory
from the Delaware to the Susque-
hanna rivers and from the Delaware
county line to the coal regions, are
being held in Simpson Memorial
Church. About 400 ministers are in
attendance.
A feature of the conference.
which will continue for about a
week, will be the dedication of the
conference service flag, containing
1882 stars, at a big patriotic rally
tomorrow night. This is believed to
be the largest service flag in the
country, each star representing n
Methodist clergyman or a member
of his congregation in the service oil
Uncle Sam. Governor Brumbaugh
will be among the speakers,

Council to Act on New
Water Rates Next Week

No action will likely be taken on
the report of ]. w. Ledoux, of Phil
adelphia, who submitted a new sys-
tenn of charging water rates in the
city, until next Tuesday when Coun-
ell meets in regular session it was
said to-day.
The new schedules as prepared
would increase the city's revenue
from the department about S25,
The rates are based entirely on a re-
turn of per cent. on the invest
ment in the water supply works, and
1 per cent. depreciation charge.
A number of conferences will be
held during the next few days by
members of Council to make a thor
ough study of the report and the
recommendation for improvements.
One of these it is understood, in
cludes the suggestion that another
electrical pump should bepurchas-
ed. Other suggestions includes
ed. Other suggestions include
give better service and release a large
main for fire service.
Under the first schedule Mr.. Led
ouX submits the manufacturers will
be affected the most by the increas-
ed rates. This one is recommended
as the most rational for the city to
adopt. The other two are modifica-
tions in which the rates to house
hold consumers are increased on a
larger percentage than in the first
one.

REGISTRATION OF
FLOUR TO CLOSE
AT WEEKS END
Result of Tabulation Shows
Little Indication of Hoard
ing Charges

The Dauphin County Food Ad-
ministration will continue the regis
tration of flour the remainder of the
week. BY that time it is hoped to
have the registration of flour in city
and county complete.
The cards will continue to appear
in the Telegraph, and householders
who have not yet sent in their re-
ports, are requested by the adminis-
traitor to do so without delay. Only
about $4,000 reports out of an esti-
mated $4,000 have returned from
Dauphin county householders.
Between two and three thoHsand
reports were sent to the food ad-
ministration office this morning. Yes
terday was the biggest day. $500
cards being returned and tabulated
before the offices were closed.
The total registration showed an
excess flour supply of more than 60
tons held in stock by Dauphin
county householders. The average,
though is only about 40 pounds of
flour to the excess holding house
holder. There are to date 3.050 fam
lilies holding excess flour amounting
to 119,S25 pounds.
Not Hoarding
While the amount of excess flour
in the county is large, it is hardly
likely that condition will be consid-
cred such as TO warrant any divert
ing of the flour from its present
owners to less fortunate house
holders. OF the $4,000 householders
reporting their flour supply, there
has not yet been a single instance
where householder has complained
that he finds difficulty procuring
enough flour to supply his normal
needs.
For this reason, and because the
excess held is not a sign of boarding,
but the natural result in most cases
of the householders stocking up for
the year, it is not likely that string
ent steps will follow the report of
large amounts of excess. About 500
pounds over a 80 days supply was
the largest excess reported, but this
was milled from the farmers grain
last fall, according to his yearly
custom. All the larger excess sup
plies are held in the same way.

England's Brewing Equal
to $4,000 Tons Shipping

London, Tuesday, March a.
Criticism of the continued use OF
grain for brewing and mailing was
made in the House of Commons to-
day by the Right Honorable Left
child Jones and others. John r.
Clynes, parliamentary secretary of
the food control board, in reply said
that having regard. among other
considerations, for the food situa-
tion and. opinion in America. the
government, while maintaining q
supply of beer for heavy manual
workers, intended to reduce immedi-
ately the tonnage to be used for
brewing material.
The brewing materials for 1919
10, Mr.. Clynes added, would be
equivalent to $4,000 tons of ship
ping, compared to 100000 tons
early in the war.

PRUNING NOW IN
FULL SEASON
Weather Has Made 1t Impos-
sible to Work in the
Field

The pruning season is on. 1t has
been on all winter, but the weather
and other conditions have been such
that it was practically impossible
TO work in the orchard.
Prof. j. G.. Sanders, Zoologist of
the State Department of Agriculture,
says: when working in the apple
trees remember that old adage,
Winter pruing makes wood and
summer pruning makes fruit A
heavily pruned apple tree will make
a big growth the following season.
If it is a young tree just coming
into bearing, there is danger of de-
laying of fruit productions. If it is
there will be q strong growth of
water sprouts. Delay heavy pruning
until next June or July.
TN pruning an apple tree remem-
ber that an open headed tree is not
a vase-shaped tree. 1t is a tree
in which the branches are we'll
spaced all over the tree and far
enough apart so that when the
foliage is on there will be a good cir
culation of air through the tree,
and that all parts of the tree will
be reached by the sun sometime dur
ing the day.
Have no crooked limbs in the
tree, because limbs with sharp
bends or angles cannot carry nearly
as heavy a load as can those that are
straight. Crooked limbs will split
and break under heavy loads.
When removing limbs, If they be
large, make the first cut in the under
side of the limbs, a foot or more
from where the final cut will be and
c n Itf
from the under side, start cutting on
the upper side, just a little farther
out. Much injury to trees is saved
by this method. Afterwards the
stump can be removed making a cut
close up to the trunk. Do not leave
a shoulder. because if the wound is
not close to the trunk, sap will not
be drawn to all edges of the wound,
which will make it slow to heal, per-
mitting rot to set in and permanent
ly injuring the tree.
Paint all wounds, as soon as they
have dried sufficiently to take paint,
with pure raw linseed oil and white
lead paint. Driers, japan, turpentine
and boiled oil are injurious to the
cambium layer, killing it and thus
making the wound larger and long
er in healing.
CHERRY trees need but little prun-
ing as a rule, except to take out in
terlocking branches. Sometimes
from lack of attention for a number
of years, some cherry trees become
very dense. In such cases, the thin
ming out of the wood is absolutely
necessary.
Plum trees should be carefully
examined and if the heads are too
thick, remove just enough wood to,
insure a good circulation of air
through them, when the foliage is on.
If there is not n free current of air.
through a plum tree, there is greater

100 Pittsburgh Men, Taken
as Draft Evaders, Are
Sent to Camp Lee, Va.

Pittsburgh, March 13.-One hun
dred men, arrested several days ago
by Pittsburgh police in a roundup

ice. The greater number of the more

or drive, will be organized first in
the city, and later will be perfected
throughout the county. The resources
of such a committee, to consist, ac-
cording to the original plans, of
1000 men and half as many wo-
men in the city, can be seen at a
glance. With the Red Cross drive
coming in the early summer, and
the other Liberty Loan drives that
must inevitably follow, will make
Harrisburg stride ahead of other
cities its size when it is called upon
to raise a quota.
As forerunner of what is to fol-
low in the way of a permanent COM
mittee, the standing planning COM
mittee of three men. consisting of
Paul Johnston, George S. Reinoehl
and David Kaufman, which main
tains its personnel permanently to
advance plans for any drive or war
activity that takes place in the city
is an example of what such a per-
manent war organization of civilians
could do. This permanent planning
committee is called upon at the first
intimation of war drive in the city,
either for membership to war orgaui-
zations. or funds for war purposes,
to outline comprehensive plans 10
conduct such an activity.
Movement Has Support
This committee, at the first word
that the Third Liberty Loan drive
was to be under way April 6, was
called upon to aid in outlining the
best methods to take care of the
city and secure the greatest possible
amount of subscriptions for the
Third Liberty Loan quota.
The idea of a permanent war or
ganiZation was originally voiced by
eX-Mayor J. William Bowman, and
William Jennings at a subsequent
meeting of representative business
and professional men, at which
Mayor Keister was also present. was
made the chairman of a permanent
committee to perfect plans for the
vast organization of civilian work
ers. The Red Cross drive imme-
diately following, to which Mr. Jeu-
nings had to devote his time, halted
the proceeding toward a permanent
committee, and Mr.. Jennings isl
hopeful that the permanent civilian
organization may arise from the
machinery of the Liberty Loan drive
here.

urbs as a result of Monday nights
German air raid.
In addition to the bomb victims,
siNty-siX persons were suffocated
through crowding in a panic into a
Metropolitan railway entrance to
take refuge from the raiders. These
were for the most part women and
children. =
OF the bomb victims, twenty e
were killed and hfty injured in
Paris and FIVE killed and twenty
nine injured in the suburbs.
Nine squadrons. comprising about
sixty airplanes. took part in the
raid. The Germans lost four planes,
one of the raiders being brought
down in flames three miles from
Chateau-Thierry. A German captain
who was on board and was taken
prisoner with the crew belongs to the
Third squadron of the German Sew
enth army. Another plane was hit
by anti-aircraft guns and fell north
of Scissors, three passengers, two
of them officers, being captured.
The fog which had covered the city
Monday morning settled down again
in the early evening. 1t was thick
enough to cause the general belief
that there was little chance that the
Germans would attempt an air raid.
The official statement on the raid
says that warning was given at 9.10
o'clock, and that "all clear" was
sounded at midnight. While sixty
airplanes crossed the French lines,
thanks to the artillery barrage, a
certain number of machines were un-
able to reach their objective. New
ertheless. the statement adds, numer-
Gus bombs were thrown on Paris and
the suburbs. Several buildings were
demolished or set on fire.
