tendance Of about 50.
After the reading of the min
utes and report of the treas
urer as to the balance in the
bank the reports Of committees
were given.
Mr.. II. E. Fox reported build
ing material for two houses ar
rived in town.
MIR. r. e. Taggart reported
some $50 lots listed with his
committee.
A vote of thanks was extend
ed to the entertainment COM
mittee for its splendid success
in cooperating with the ladies
at the community entertain
ment last Friday week.
Mr.. j. w. Chalkley reported
interview with representatives
of Cement Products Plant in
Wilmington, n. c., being the
sales agent for this part of the
field and one of their engineers,
and also correspondence from
Mr.. +. d. Stratton, of Southern
Railroad Development Service
Bureau. The result of the in
terview with Mr.. Campbell, the
sales agent of tho cement pro
duct firm, was not satisfactory
as regards their intentions TO
locate a small cement products
plant in Big Stone Gap, the
saud not being quite satisfacto-
~. The result of correspon-
dence with Mr.. Strutton was
that he expected to send Mr..
j. c. Williams up TO look over
the ground sometime in the
near future as soon as he could
arrange a definite date.
Mr.. Taggart then, speaking
for the home building corpora
ton, stated that the association
was up against it in the ques-
ton OF being able to compete
with such firms as Sears, Roe
buck and Company and the
Stone Lumber Company, of
Bristol, and asked the meeting
to discuss the question of the
rather doubtful necessity of
calling in the stock subscrip-
tions to finance building and
loan organization such as the
association was, namely, cor
poration formed for the pur-
poee OF % building houses for
sale, and (2) lending money to
builders of houses who wished
to own their own homes.
Nr. H. E. Fox suggested buy
ing some lots and building a
house or several houses on the
Sears, Roebuck plan.
Mr.. Taggart said that the di
rectors of the association had
not decided on any particular
policy but that it was generally
understood the association was
TO build houses for sale only
and to assist those who wanted
to build to finance their propo-
sition.
Dir, Sayers suggested putting
The organization on it's feet if
only to help out local contrac-
tors or to make the prices right
should the rates of the building
material companies prove un
reasonable.
Mr.. Chalkloy then said that
knowing us We do the consider
able demand for houses we
should not hesitate a moment
TO organize this association i'm
mediately and proceed TO Sc
cure figures from other concerns
than Sears, Roebuck and Co. or
eEe Stone Lumber Company in

State Will Be at Front
When 1t Comes to Results
in Price Fight, Pledge
By associated Press.

Philadelphia, Aug. 16. - Penn
sylvania will be in the forefront
when it comes to actual results in
the fight to lower high food costs"
Howard Heinz, Federal Food Ad-
ministrator for the State made this
pledge to-day in discussing the ap-
pointment of Il fair price board"
Upon the appointment of Il Fair
Price Board hinges the action of the
Federal District Attorney against the
small profiteer. Without the stand
ard of prices set by the board the
Federal authorities have no guide
as to what is an unfair price"
The man asked to act as tenn
porary food administrator for Phila-
delphia, will give his answer to-
morrow" said Mr.. Heinz to-day.
Pennsylvania has always been
ahead of every other State in i'm
portant matters of this kind and we
will again be ahead in this war on
the proiiteer. Other cities have
named fair price committees, it is
true, but these committees have
done nothing but talk Not any
city to my knowledge has actually
got into operation the fair price
list with set margins of profit on
various articles

Court Here Can Not
Act in Suit Against State

That the Dauphin county court has
no Jurisdiction to act in the man
damus suit brought by DIR. John e.
Bateson, of Scranton, against the
Bureau of Medical Education and
Licensure of the Department of Pub
lie instruction is alleged in the
answer filed by the Attorney Cen
erals Department for the bureau.
DR.. Bateson brought suit against
the bureau to be reinstated as a
practicing physician after his lie
ense had been revoked. In the
answer. sworn to by DR.. John NJ.
Baldy, president of the bureau the
court is asked to dismiss the man
damus writ for lack of jurisdiction,
and also because it is alleged that
DR.. Bateson furnished habit-form-
ing drugs to users of the narcotics.
It is stated in the answer that DR..
Bateson was indicted in Federal
court on three counts on such a
charge, and upon pleading nollo con-
tendere was fined $500. The case
probably will be listed for argument.

DR.. H. MCGOWAN Sells His
Property; Will Take Rest

DR.. H. MCGOWAN has sold his
property at 236 West State street to
Dir. Faller, of Carlisle, who recently
returned from service with the
American EXpeditionary Forces. DR..
Faller will be permanently located
where DR.. MCGOWAN has practiced
his profession so successfully over
thirty years, and will have the care
of DR.. McGowan's practice during
the latter's vacation, which will be
spent at Atlantic City. The Nc
Gowan property has a frontage of 21
feet on State street and is located
in the very heart of the city. 1t
is a three-story brick residence and
is near Third street.
Dr. MCGOWAN is president of the
medical class of 1858 of the Univers-
ity of Pennsylvania with which
class he graduated about fifty-one
years ago. He was a student of the
famous DR.. David H. Agnew and
has many interesting "reminiscences
of his earlier medical associates.
He is now almost four-score years,
but is as active as many men half
his age. He was born in Lancaster
county within a stones throw of the
HON estead of Governor Sproul and
on his graduation was anxious to
enter the Medical Department of the
United States Navy, but was advised
by DR.. Agnew to begin his practice
in Lancaster county. He came to
Harrisburg soon after receiving his
diploma.
There is no more popular phys
ician in the city, his skill as a prac-
titioner having taken him into hun
dreds of the homes of Harrisburg.
He was greatly pleased, he said to-
day, to speak a good word for DR..
Faller whom he was glad to leave
in charge of his practice.

FARMERS ARE

part of the farmers to produce
to the limit of their physical ability.
The farmer has not struck, walked
out or otherwise slackened in pro-
duction. IIe has increased his eff
fort, extending his operations to the
limit of physical ability and financial
credit and striven TO feed the world,
believing the world would fairly and
gladly recompense him. Instead, he
finds those who. in their eagerness
to find an answer where there is
none, and to shun the real facts of
the situation point to him with scorn
and malevolence, saying thou art
the Culprit.'
Stagnation in Production
The high cost of living is due
to a stagnation in production of
manufactured goods and prepared
footstuffs. Every labor strike that
shuts down any plant engaged in the
preparation of foods or the making
of clothing, that shut down a mine
or mill, adds to the high cost of
living.
"If capitalistic monopoly wants
enough food produced that it may be
feasted, or if organized labor wants
food produced that it may be fed,
if the do-nothing dawdlers want
enough food produced so that they
may occasionally eat, let them stand
forth now at this time when the
farmer must determine his 1871 tood
production program, and declare py
deeds cutting out OF pronteerlnS
in goods and wages, going honestly
L., of
veying the necessities of life; going
honestly to the job of doing a full
DAYS work for full days pay -
their Willingness TO cooperate. Fail
ure of these forces to do this now
will be a boomerang that ere the
next cycle of the seasons will ef-
feet a condition of living now un-
dreamed Of"
Extravagant Profits
Mr.. Howard said the high cost
of living was due to "eNtravagant
profits of middlemen; failure of
the American people TO practice
even ordinary economy in public and
private life" and industrial strikes.
Expectation of food and clothing, he
said, was no more contributing
cause than the heavy exports of
manufactured goods and machinery,
of which the farmer is a heavy pur-
chaser.
IAN embargo on foodstuffs to
bring down the high cost of living"
he said, will be as demoralizing to
American agriculture as the en-
barge placed on foodstuffs was to
French agriculture in the time of
Louis NV"
Mr.. Howard also deplored the
veto of the act to repeal the day
light saving law and said the Presi-
dents statement in his veto message
in effect placing agriculture produc-
ton second in Importance to indus
trial production would discourage
many farmers and probably result in
decreased production on the farms.
