Evangelicals Meet For
Important Conference

A very important unification meet
ing was held yesterday in the Park
street United Evangelical church by
the Evangelicals of the two adjoin-
ing conferences.
The forenoon session was devoted
to prayer. These prayer hours were
led by DR.. A. E. Gobble of Albright
College and Rev. A. q. Flexer. mas.
tor of Harris Street United Evan
gelical church. A deep interest was
shown in the needs of the church
and many petitions arose in her be-
half.
The afternoon session was given
to the consideration of two import
ant topics. The discussions were
introduced with addresses by Rev.
c. L. Sones who spoke very help
fully on the pressing needs of the
church during the time of "Our
Forward Campaign" and the union
with the Evangelical Association by
Bishop w. F. He'll in which he set
forth the present situation of the
proposed union. Interesting discus
sions followed each address.
The evening session was largely
attended by the Evangelicals of Har-
risburg and vicinity. The general
topic was "Our Forward Cam paign''
under two heads; "The Better Unit
ed Evangelical Church in the Max
ing" by DR.. Hunt, president of AL
bright College. He said in part that
in the coming days through the for
ward move we will have better
preachers. a church with a broader
vision which will take in the i'm
provement of the social order, the
recognition of the brotherhood OF
man. emphasis upon the fundament-
| ais as 1t was in the beginning. Bish.
| op U. F. Swengel spoke on the other
phase of the topic THE Church Aft
er the Campaign Visualized." He
held up a beautiful picture of tho
improved church after the campaigr
has transformed 1t.
Large delegations of minister.
were present from both of the con.
ferences.

READING REPORTS
HEAVY TRAFFIC
Sunday Rush Brings New Rec
ords; Need Cars and
Supplies

Another new record came last
Saturday and Sunday on the Phlia-
delphia and Reading Railway in
handling freight traffic. On the Har-
risburg and Reading divisions a
total of $4,000 cars were moved;
and on Sunday 1900. This is an
increase of 1000 over the week
ending September 6.
On these two. days 1900 cars
loaded with anthracite coal were
brought from the mines and seut
over the main line. On Sunday the
Reading transported 400 cars east
and west over the Lebanon Valley
branch, and 2,700 on East Penn.
There is a great demand for cars
in the soft coal regions. Within tbs
past two days 2,700 empty cars have
been delivered at Rutherford for
distribution.
Badly in Need of Material
The Reading is badly in need of
cars and material. Orders have
been issued to use no coal cars for
hauling crushed stone until the soft
coal regions are supplied. Other
lines are helping out in this de-
mand. AS to. rails and other ma
terial there has been considerable
difficulty in getting supplies.
In an interview with Charles NJ.
Schwab, published in New York,
the steel leader is credited with
stating that the railroads in their
present state are in need of much
new equipment. He estimates that
of rails alone the roads will have
to place orders for fully 100000
tons within the next twelve months.
This will bring about a record
consumption of rails in any one
year, the previous high record be-
ing in 1906, when 4,977,S77 tons
were produced. Rail and equip
ment orders on the part of the
railroad administration since the
beginning of the year have been OH
a very small scale, and, in fact,
this has been so ever since tie
European war started in 1914.

GIVE THEM THE BEST YOU
HAVE GOT


Sure. they will scoff at your schem-
ing,
Sure, they will question your plan,
Sure, they will laugh at your dream
So ev'ry dreamer began.
Ask of the fellows who do things,
Ask of the follows who won,
What thought the world of the new
things,
Things that had never been done
Scheme for them, dream for them,
labor.
Whether they want it or not
Pencil or chisel or saber,
Give them the best you have got.
Sure, they will pass it unheeded.
This that Is soul of your soul,
Grudging the word that is needed
Helping you on to the goal.
Must | with something pursue
them,
Begging from door unto door?
When what is common will do them,
Why should l offer them more ?"
Why? In achieving is living!
Why? Are your visions forgot? :?
Give for the sake of the giving
Give them the best you have got!
Though the whole office refuses,
Though you are scorned by the
host,
You are the fellow who doses
When you do less than the most.
Stop not for sulking or sorrow,
Keep at the thing you are at,
Doing your best. that tomorrow
You may do better than that.
If to your goal you are going
1t does not matter a lot,
Still you are gaining and growing
Give them the best you have got!

MACEDONIA IN
BITTER NEED
People Are Starving With
Women in Rags; Money
Needed For Relief

Stores of the sufferings OF
men, women and children in Mace
donia are being told every day in
the newspapers. None have been
exaggerated according to Kosta
Christoff who was in Harrisburg to-
day. The story has not been half
told" is the way this young man
expressed 1t this morning. He has
with him his 65-year-old mother
The latter was rescued from this
starving country by her son.
Christoff left the United States for
Macedonia on May IL. His sole
purpose was to bring back his
mother and see for himself the suf-
fering of his people. He is a citizen
of the United States and is in busi-
ness at Youngstown. Ohio. On his
arrival at the home of his mother
In Macedonia he found her weak
meal in three days.
This is the average for these starv-
ing people, according to this young
man. His description was graphic
and he told of seeing q priest shot
down because he was defending the
honor of his daughter who had been
attacked. Strong were his praises
for the Red Cross which is doing
everything possible for these people,
DuI III the opinion OF hOSta CnrlStOII
there is much more to do.
He urges American people to send
money, clothing and food to this
starving country. He said the peo-
pie there work from a. m. to p.
M, raising tobacco and receive but
35 cents a day. Pictures were
brought back showing Macedonians
who had been killed or died, and
those of others still living. Some of
these pictures is the first news of
what has happened to many rela-
tives and friends of Macedonians in
Harrisburg and Steelton. Hundreds
of letters have never been answered.
1t was glad news for many, even
with the sad stories that came with
the photographs.
kosta Christoff spoke Sunday at
the Macedonian church, Steelton,
and told a large congregation there.
how his people were starving and in
rags, and some with scarcely any
clothing at all to cover their bodies.
He succeeded in raising a fund and
to-day plans were started to send
to Macedonia several young men who
will take with them clothing. food
and money. This son with his
mother, will leave tomorrow morn
ing for Youngstown.

CITY NEEDS 1000
MORE HOMES FOR
IMMEDIATE USE
Building Boom Forecast With
Higher Prices For
Materials

At the annual fall banquet of the
Harrisburg Real Estate Board held
last evening in the Senate Hotel. g.
NJ. Appleby, OF Appleby Brothers q
Whitaker, told the diners that 4,0oo
: homes would be necessary WITHIN
the next few years If HARRISBURG
was TO properly take care of hous-
ing demands.
Mr.. Appleby said that material
markets are very much behind III
their deliveries, in some cases TWO
or three months. The high water
mark of production may not come
for ten wears, and Harrisburg real
estate men should not be AFRAID OF
building too much, for the need Is
too great for that.
He was of the opinion that tnG
present value of the dollar woula
not alter very materially, but that
after several years, possibly, OF con-
fused times, the people would graz
ually come to accept the new stand
ard. Then, said Mr.. Appleoy, "a; a
greater demand for homes Will
come.
Much higher prices, but a greater
huiIdinr boom than this city has
ever seen were predicted by e. Z.
Snyder, an Allison Hill lumeef
dealer. Mr.. Snyder was Of the
opinion that this building boom
would spread all over the country,
as the other regions are just as oao-
ly off for houses as we are nero
in Central Pennsylvania. The boom
would force up the prices OF MA
terials on account of the demand
and in addition freight rates, in
creased traffic and labor conditions
would all have their effects.
According to Mr.. Snyder, there
was much lumber wasted during the
war, and with the cutting down OF
one tree, its neighbor's value was
so much increased. The demand ior
homes more than offset these disad-
vantages, and they should go right
ahead with building all they could.
j. E. Gipple presided at the pan-
ouet and told the real estate men
that they were deriving a two-fold
benefit from the meeting. First, the
privilege of listening to two very
interesting experts and second, the
opportunity Of talking things over
with their business opponents. The
day Of the real estate shark" mas
past, said Mr.. Gipple, as we'll as the
day OF antagonism.
A. C. Young reported on the At
lantic City convention, which
number of local men attended.
Greater opportunities than ever be-
fore for real esate men was the key
note Of the convention, said Mr..
Young.
William S. Essick and E. Noes
lein, members of the board gave
short talks. The latter spoke tor
better organization as essential for
securing better laws.
Fifty members attended the BAN
quet The committee in charge in
cluded Stanley Backenstoss, chair
man; A. c. Young and E. Moesleln.

Forgetting fortunes frown,
Put all your troubles in again
And pull the rolltop down!
