H. E. Provost Talks on
Good Salesmanship to
Equitable Co. Agents

In an address before the meeting
of agents of the Equitable Life In
surance Company of Iowa recently,
ii. Il. Provost, division publicity
manager of the Bell Telephone Com
pany made an interesting address
on "Salesmanship." In his talk he
outlined the principles that are es-
sential to success and adapted them
to the work of the life insurance
agent He explained that it is not q
sudden jump to success but q long,
hard climb up the ladder. "Busi-
ness to-day is lighted by the lantern
of experience" he declared. Every
where big executives are crying for
efficient men, everywhere the need
is felt for the man who can see what
is to be done and can do it. And the
process of becoming such a man is
simple. From every thought and
word and action man may gather
to himself such positive qualities as
optimism, tact, enthusiasm, knowl-
edge and initiative; or he may limit
his possibilities with the opposite of
these: pessimism, indiscretion, in
difference, ignorance and mechani-
cal performance"
The meeting was attended by
agents from York, Adams. Cumber-
land, Franklin, Dauphin, Lebanon,
and Perry counties. 1t was held in
the offices of Rice and Tyson, gen.
eral agents for the company.

Skating at Paxtang and
Wildwood, but Big Crowd
Unsafe, Says Park Dept.

Although the ice is about three
inches thick at Wildwood Lake and
the small dam at Paxtang, V. Grant
Forrer. assistant park superintendent,
said that the department has no OBJ
Jections to persons skating at these
places, but did not feel safe in flying
the red flag and inviting large crowds.
The ice is almost perfect, but IL
not safe yet for large crowds" Mr..
Forrer said. Persons who skate ON
the lake at Wildwood or Paxtang are
doing so at their own risk. but with
continued cold weather il soon should
be thick enough to support the hun
dreds of skaters who enjoy that kind
of sport. We are completing arrange
ments to open the small house at Pax
tang and also the one at Wildwood.
At Twelfth street the park was food
ed and the water is frozen now, but
the available space for skating is so
small that only the youngsters should
go there.
"a number of inquiries have been
received about Italian Park. While
this Is not a part of the park system.
the ice there is about the same thick
ness as at Wildwood and Paxtang."
Park officials discovered to-day that
thieves broke into the frame build
ing at the north end of Wildwood
lake. The telephone on the wall was
taken, in addition to supplies stored
there by the department.

of her fate.
A reward of 500 offered by her

the eldest % years of age. Two of
them were in the house, one sick in
bed, when she left.

McCiain Pays Great
Compliment to Sproul

Lieutenant Governor McClain's ad-
dress to the Senate follows:
Those of you who come here
to-day to duties unfinished and to
those of you who come to duties
new, / bid welcome. Since last we
met, old Father Time has strung too
more beads on his thread of life.
The joys, the sorrows, the hopes, the
fears and disappointments of 1918
have become memory. We stand
upon the Threshold of new year.
Let us resolve that 1919, with all it's
promise and opportunities, shall be
A year to be glad In,
Not to be sad in,
A year to live in,
To get and to give in.
THE war is over; the fight has
been won. From every mast and,
dome Old Glory Is waiving a well
come to the boys who are coming
home, waving a welcome to those
whom the fortune of war gave great
opportunities and furnished great
hazard and for whom tens of thou
sands of eager eyes are watching
through the dusk for the coming
ships and walving a welcome as well
TO that large army of valiant Ameri-
can boys who stood ready and will
ing and hoping to be summoned to
their country's active service, but
whom Fate denied. The chance of
actual battle and who never left
these home shores.
Pennsylvania has played a great
part in what has been DONE No
Commonwealth exceeded her. Yes.
perhaps none equalled in her con-
tribution of men and money and the
things that counted most in decid-
ing the great world contest between
Christian civilization and scientific
barbarity.
need not even suggest to you
that 1t is incumbent upon you as
members of the upper branch of
Pennsylvania's General Assembly
that your actions during the session
upon which you are now entering
should be in keeping with your COM
monwealth's glorious achievements.
Another 'hapter in the book of
lawmaking presents itself and for
you to write with wisdom and cour-
age. What shall be written you will
determine as the days of this session
go by. May this be time filled with
service true to the Commonwealth
and it's vast varied and important
interests. And in this connection let
coming state administration to rein
vigorate principles in Pennsylvania IS
government that have become en-
feebled through neglect and almost
| forgotten through disuse.
Must Set Good Example
1T isn't a case of bringing the
flag back to the regiment, but of
bringing the regiment back to the
| flag. Bring our state government
| back to the Constitution and uphold
and maintain the distinction that
should exist between the legislative
and executive departments of state
government 1t behooves us par
ticularly in these days of social un-
rest to fully appreciate that those
of us dressed with little brief au-
thority cannot violate and fiout the
fundamental law of the Common
wealth without setting bad ex-
ample to that great mass of citizen
ship who measure things by their
| own standard of right and wrong.

no one his equal"
Washington, Jan. T. Senator
Knox, of Pennsylvania, former Sec
retary of state and attorney general:
II am sure that those who sustained
long intimate, personal as well as
official relationship to Colonel Roose-
Welt, will to-day be inclined to dwell
upon his delightful personality and
com mDanionship. Those to whom he
was not upon terms of personal inti-
macy will recall his humanity, cour-
age and indomitable persintency."

with the work. Tie vote of the night
men will be taken at several differ
ent periods this evening. Specially
prepared ballots lave been received
here fer the purpose.
BY Popular Vote
The issue will be decided entire
ly by popular vote rather than by
departments. and the total result will
determine whether the system shall
be abolished entirely or retained as
per its present status. Every shop
man, whether his department does
little or much piecework. Will have
Il vote.
TIL method of ascertaining
whether or not the piecework sys-
tenn of payment should be continued
was selected by the federal railroad
officials and all plans have been made
according to their directions. 1t is
believed to have come about as G
result OF the discovery OF The fact
that shopmen of the Allegheny re-
sion working OF riecework had been
enormously overpaid since January
l, 1918, as a result of the misinter-
probation by railroad officials CT a
federal railroad 3jministra ton rul-
ing.
The outcome of the vote cannot
be forecasted and final results are
not expected for some time. Only in
dividuaf opinions are known. Some
time ago unions went on record as
being in favor of the abolition of
the piecework system, but it is
thought vsonn n that tl,h raoapt ,,o go
muddle may bring abouha change in
feeling among them.
Ii piecework is abolished, men will
work according TO hourly wages as
specified In general orders No. 27 and
supplement- No. 4. If this result
comes. 1t will mean the abolition of
a system that has been in vogue here
for approximately two score of wears.
Much contention has been caused
here and In other cities by the sys-
tenn during it's existence.
