Y. w. c. A. HAD BIG
WAR WORK PART

TINE Yourg Women's Chris
tian Association. through it's
general secretary, Miss Ella
M. Stitt. was very active during
the period of the war in all man
ner of war aid. From giving it's
rooms for meetings of all kinds
to organizing and conducting
classes. the Y. w. c. A. was al
ways on the job.
Over 500 people were enrolled
in Red Cross classes, which were
conducted by doctors and nurses
secured especially for the work
and who contributed their serv-
ices gladly. The classes were di-
vided into four heads-First Aid,
Surgical Dressings. Dietetics and
Hygiene. The majority of the
Red Cross work of the city, in so
far as class instruction is con-
cerned, was originally begun at
the Y. w. C. A. 1elegraphy
classes were likewise formed and
had many members.
Every girl living ir the Y. w.
c. A. building during the war was
a member of the Red Gross and
a Liberty Bond subscriber, 100
per cent. Americans. Entertain
ments for the benefit of the Red
Cross were likewise staged by
the Y. w, c. A, adding many
dollars to the treasury of the Red
Cross.

Motor Messengers Were
on Job Early and Late

No story of what Harrisburg did
in the war would be complete with
out an account of the part of Motor
Messengers of the Red Cross played
in the war activities of the COM
munity.
These devote ed women. most of
whom owned automobiles and all of
whom could operate a car, donned
the uniform prescribed for the serv-
ice early in the war, and they were
on hand early and late for what
ever duty they were called upon to
perform They hauled everything
the Red Cross required of them,
from tired soldiers to packages of
surgical dressings, and from Red
Cross workers to Christmas pack.
ages for soldiers. Theirs was a
labor of love. Out in all kinds of
weather, driving cars when their
friends were safe in bed, tired but
persistent in their duty, they stuck
to the job and won the plaudits of
their fellows and the commendation.

Officer had no money or rations for
these men. The men were most ap-
preciative, and on departing gave
three cheers for the Red Cross
Aside from the supplies ordered
and paid for by the officers in charge
of the various trains during the
month of August the canteen fur
nished gratuitously the following:
Meal tickets 219; coffee 361 pints;
sandwiches ass; hot meals log:
bananas 3,125; apples bushels;
peaches 2 bushels; ice cream 81 GAL
Ions; chocolate 2,S19 cakes; cigarets
$50 packages; stamped postal cards
$40.
The good people of this city, as
everywhere throughout the United
States, have frequently heard and
read with much sadness of the ter
rlble experiences of these soldier
boys. Mentally they have suffered
with these brave boys; especially
the blind and the crippled, but these
canteen workers in Harrisburg on
duty day and night, have been actual
witnesses time and time again to
the tales of frightfulness that the
war has wrought, and many tears
have been brushed aside to bring a
bit of cheerfulness into the life of
some youth who battled and suffered
and will always suffer. that this
country will continue to be safe for
all. 1t has been very noticeable to
these canteen workers that into the
lives of these boys there has come a
spiritual life, and encouraged and
led on by this power, these women
who comprise the local .canteen SER
vice, seventy-five of them at least,
do each day Christian mission
for some beloved son and brother.
This wonderful work will continue
until all is over. The officers of the
canteen are Mrs. Francis 7. Hall,
chairman; Mrs. w. II. Gather. as
s:stant to the chairman: Mrs. J.
Milev Jones. vice-chairman and Mrs.
G, H. Orth, executive secretary.

ROTARY CLUB AN
ACTIVE WAR BODY

THE Harrisburg Rotary Club
was a very active force for
good in all manner of war
work. When volunteers were go
ing to the front, the Rotarians
held big mass meeting at the
Orpheum Theater and the men
who enlisted rs the result were
pledged the support of the club
in the field and all of them as
sured of work upon their return.
The soldiers who kept in touch
by correspondence were supplied
with tobacco, money, when they
needed 1t, and were constantly
the recipients of friendly and en-
couraging letters. Some of them
were entertained at the home of
Rotarians when they visited the
city. The Rotarians also got be-
hind the Thrift Stamp sale when
1T was slipping, and, with a min
strel show, the tickets of which
were redeemable to their face
value ir Thrift Samps, raised
more than $4,000 and got hun
dreds interested who had not pre-
Viously owned stamps. The club
sent many of it's members into
the service, most of them coming
back as officers land it has one
gold star or its list, that of Rob-
ert A. Boil, of the marines, who
made the supreme sacrifice.

HARRISBURG HAD
2 JOLLIFICATIONS

HARRISBURG went into the
war enthusiastically and
showed its loyalty on every
occasion, but there are two occa-
sions that will stand out as typi-
cal of the spirit of the city dur
ing the conflict. one was the
night the news came in that the
marines and the men OF the 2Sth
Division. our own Pennsylvania
troops, had stopped the Hun at
Chateau Thierry, had halted the
mad rush on Paris and had
hurled the pride of the German
Army battered and beaten back
on its long retreat toward Berlin.
The whistles footed and the bells
rang out, the telephone exchange
was swamped with calls for in
formation-and when the tidings
got about the town went wild,
the bands came out and a parade
followed that lasted untilsmorn-
ing. The Telegraph kept the
people informed by special edi-
tions, and each fresh dispatch
was greeted with renewed cheers
and howls of delight. 1t was a
night to be remembered.
The other demonstration came
when the Telegraph flashed to
the Mayors office the news that
the armistice had been signed.
This came after the town had
been fooled by fake dispatch
few days previously, but, thanks
to wise heads, no formal celebra-
tion had been held. so that in the
early hours of Monday morning.
November IL. when the Asso-
ciated Press, through the Tele-
graph. gave tho real news, the
whistles cut loose again, and the
bells rang joyously and the peo-
pie turned out in a celebration
that turned itself into a go-as-
you-please. everybody happy, pa
rade that Kept on the move dur
ing all the rest of the night, all
the next morning, during the aft
arnoon and up to late evening.
when the paraders halted and
vent home because they could
lot keep 1T up. 1t was the big
:est celebration in Harrisburg'.s
whole h st ory-the most sponta-
reous and the most joyous.

Two Millions of Men
Passed Through the City

How many soldiers passed through
Harrisburg going and coming dur
ing the war is not known. one rail
road man estimates the number at
a million. Another believes 1000
900 would be nearer the figure
Many of them left the trains here
for hike through the streets and
thousands upon thousands of them
were entertained by the canteen
workers

CORN SHOW
Exhibits Were Of Excellent Quality
and Meeting Proves Of Benefit
20 Farmers Of the
Vicinity.

ELvASTON, Ill. Feb. 1s.-On Fec
luary 18th, the Elvaston Corn Show
club held its annual show and auction.
II. M. Wilson, Of the Bradley ranch at
burnside did the corn judging. That
seed corn selection has its own partt-
cular problems was easily demonstra-
ted in the discussion led by Mr.. VIII
son. The members were there seeking
the latest and best information on i'm.
proving seed corn and increasing the
yield OF corn. Mr. Wilson gave definite
and concrete suggestions to carry
home and apply. He also encouraged
the participation OF the younger mem
bers in the activities Of the club, be-
cause OF its educational value and as
enc Of the means of keeping the
younger generation on the farms. Incl
dentally many members after witness
ing the Judging and observing the
methods used. will go home to examine
their corn with a more critical eye,
with subsequent improvement in their
corn selections.
The indirect result of this work,
according to Mr. Wilson, is that it es-
tablishes a point OF contact between
the members, awakens new spirit OF
ccmradeship between them, and leads
