Our Mistake

In setting up the advertise
ment of Hardwick d Co., Stan
ton merchants, last week, We
thought the prices quoted were
very low indeed, but still they
were not low enough in some in
stances, or rather the prices were
not as low as this firm is making.
These prices have been corrected
for this week. Among the de-
crease in prices will be noted
that this firm is selling 3 lb. cans
of tomatoes at 20c instead Of
selling 2 Id. cans at this money,
and they are selling Arbuckle's
coffee at 40c per pound instead
of SOC, as We stated.

the comb of the house the full
length of the building. The
pressure on the rafters caused
the walls to spread at the top
and let the ceiling, the roof, the
brick flue and the tree come
down upon the heads of the
teacher and the children, knock

held up the load, and this alone
saved all, it seems, from instant
and certain death. The little son
of Geo. w. Paisley was probably
the worst injured, His face and
head was very badly bunged up.

Fine Rain Visits Us

A very fine rain visited this
part of the county Tuesday after.

all growing crops and pasture
land. Corn that was so forward
as to be silking and tasseling
has already been damaged, but
of course the rain will do even
the earliest corn much good.
Pastures were parching very
badly, so much so that live stock
were already feeding upon their
reserve, to wit, broomsedge,
which is the very efficient stand
by of the hilly country when the
drouth cuts short the japanese
clover.

LAFEAN DENIES
LOAN OF $4,000;
Is ONLY $4,000
And This Will Be Paid to
Penna. Bank Which Failed
Soon as the Note Is Due
By Associated Press.

York, July 19. - Former State
Banking Commissioner Daniel F.
Lafean denied to-day that he was
indebted in the sum of $4,000 to
the North Penn Bank. of Phila-
delphia, which institution closed its
doors yesterday.
He said the only loan from this
bank in which he figured was one
of $4,000 by a local corporation
of which he was a director and
treasurer. This, he says, will be
paid on July % when the note
comes due.
Mr.. Lefean denied any knowledge
of the transfer of State funds from
Western Pennsylvania banks to the
Philadelphia institution.
Immediate investigation of all the
circumstances attending the closing
of the North Penn bank, of Phila-
delphia, will be undertaken by State
officials. All the facts connected
with the placing of deposits of hun
dreds of thousands of dollars worth
of funds gathered by the State In
surance Department for policyhold-
ers of the Pittsburgh Life and Trust
concern in the bank by Charles A.
Amber when Insurance Commits
sioner will be looked into and State
insurance and Banking officials will
cooperate.
State officials here have refused to
make any comments upon the de-
Velopm ents, but are keenly interest
ed in what may turn up. The story
heard last winter that Amber was
retained on a personal plea to the
Governor to be allowed to close up
the Pittsburgh concern and his sud
den superseding by Thomas B. Dom
aldson, who had been the special
deputy commissioner, are being dis
cussed.
Banking Commissioner John S.
Fisher remained in Harrisburg part
of to-day so as to be in touch with
the situation in Philadelphia, De-
putty Commissioner Peter G. Cam
eron reported personally to him.
Governor William C. Sproul also
kept in touch with the situation.
For months the Governor has been
watching the institution and follow
ing Commissi oner Donaldeon's ef-
forts to get the 100000 of the de-
post into other institutions.
Commissioner of Banking Fisher
has gone to Philadelphia to be IN
closer touch with the North Penn
Psnk. of which James w. Nc
Burney has been named as special
receiver to represent the Commis-
Ginnar.

BREAD PRICE IS
TO REMAIN HIGH
FOR WHOLE YEAR
Manager of Harrisburg Bak-
ing Company Defends Boost;
Says Public Is Unjust

E. s. Manbeck, manager of the
Harrisburg Baking Company, de-
fends the recent rise in price from
10 to II cents on the one-pound loaf.
He contends conditions necessitated
the rise. Mr.. Manbeck said in part
that labor conditions for some weeks
past had been engaging the careful
attention of the bakers of Harris
burg. The demands of the workers,
together with the rise in price of
flour and other necessities of the
baking companies had made it alb
solutely essential for his company
to advance its prices. he insisted.
Although the bakers held out as
long as they could and did not raise
the price, Mr.. Manbeck, said, the
time came when it was a question
of either raising the prices or sus-
tanning considerable loss. He felt
that the bakers had been unjustly
treated by the public. since he had
received several complaints from
people who declared the rise in price
was unjustified and unnecessary.
At present there seems very lit
tie chance of a drop in prices, prob
ably not for another year at least,
according to Mr.. Manbeck.

LONG PROMINENT
HERE, IS DEAD
Private Secretary to General
Cameron, Congressman and
Editorial Writer, Dies

T. In the news of the death of Sam
uel F. Barr at San Diego, California,
old residents of this city will recog-
nize a familiar name. Sam" Barr,
as he was known. was for years a
citizen of Harrisburg and until his
death claimed this city as his place
Of residence.
AS private secretary to General
Simon Cameron, editorial writer on
the Telegraph and Congressman
from this district, Mr.. Barr was for
a long time prominent in the life
of Harrisburg. After his last term

maintained on the coast of Maine.
and lived there until the late nine
ties, when he moved to California.
Prominent in National Life
sam Barr was secretary to Cen
eral cameron when he was Secretary
or war under President Lincoln. and
later when he was returned to the
Senate. When General Cameron
Went to Russia as ambassador, Mr..
Barr returned to Harrisburg and as
sisted ex-U. S. Senator James DON
aid Cameron, who was then presi-
dent of the Northern Central Rail-
road, as confidential secretary.
Before the death of George Berg
ner in 1874, he was chief editorial
writer on the Telegraph. and after
Mr.. Bergner died. became editor
in-chief. He was a brilliant writer
with a most forceful style. and many
people had cause to remember il
when his pen was directed against
them. About 1880 he decided that
he would like to enter Congress, and
accordingly he shaped his plans and
after a violent campaign was elected
from this district in 1882. He was
reelected in 1884 and served until
1887.
After his congressional terms. Mr..
Barr pursued his literary work for
several years in Harrisburg and then

100000 INFECTED
WITH BOLSHEVISM
ARE BIG PROBLEM
Disposition of Russian Prison

Allies Much Trouble
PROBABLY RUIN POLAND
Will Either Be Forced Into

Sent Home
PROBABLY RUIN POLANI
By Associated Press.

Paris, Friday, July 1s.-The SD
preme Council of the Peace Confer
ence to-day discussed the DISPOSE
ton of 100000 Russian prisoners of
war still in Germany at the request
of the Allies after the armistice and
who are being fed at Entente ex-
pense.
AS many are infected with Boil
shevism, Poland and other coun-
tries through which they would re-
turn to Russia have objected to giv-
ing them passage. Moreover, it Is
held, they will be either forced into
the Bolshevik army or killed if sent
home. The expense of maintaining
them in Germany, however, is be-
coming burdensome. The council,
unable to-day to reach a decision.
referred the question to its military
advisers for report.
Hear of Greek Cruelties
The council received a protest
from the Sheik of Aidin, Asia
Minor, concerning atrocities which
the Greeks are alleged to have COM
mitted upon Turks near Adm. 1t
was decided to send a military mis-
sion to Investigate. The American
delegation will cable to Washington
for instructions.
The council has taken no action
concerning the punishment of the
former emperor of Germany and
has not even considered the report
from the commission on responsible
tiles which does not favor the peace
conference allowing Field Marshal
Won Hindenburg or anyone else to
be substituted for the former mon
arch.

The council appears to be firm in
the conviction which is held by
military officials of the Entente pow
ers that William Hohenzollern must
