There is no better advice we can give
a young man starting out in his business
career than to open a bank account and
keep in close touch with his banker. This
will help him accumulate money and give
him the knowledge to use it to the best
advantage.
Certificates of deposit paying 3 per
cent, interest for periods of 4 months
and longer are one of the best mediums
we can suggest for making such an ac
count grow.

SATURDAY EVENING, HABBISBURG TELEGRAPH SEPTEMBER 12, 1914,
TELEGRAPH FAMILY
ENJOYS CORIIIROAST
Rain Falls, but Appetites Are Un
impaired and Hot Dishes
Drive Away Chill
Members of the "Telegraph Fam-|
lly" from galley boy up, were guests
of "the head of the house," President
E. J. Staekpole, at the annual corn
roast and sweetpotato bake at McCor
mlck's Island last evening. It rained
before the affair came to a conclu
sion, but that only seemed to put an
edge on the appetites of those present
and gallons of steaming hot coffee
drove off the chill.
Ninety-three accepted invitations
and 117 attended, so It was necessary
to set an overflowing table. Edward
A. Cramp, the able pupil of George V.
Corl, presided at the Are and tucked
nearly 400 ears of corn away in the
hot ashes from which he took them
an hour later steaming and ready for
the salt and butter that make roast
corn about as delicious a morsel as
over tickled the palate. In another
pit Mr. Cramp roasted about two
bushels of sweetpotatoes and among
the other items on the bill of fare
were cold meats, cheese, potato chips,
potato salad, bushels of hot frankfur
ters, rolls, coffee, cakes and hundreds
of lollypops.
"Jim" Wilson escaped from his du
ties in the police department long
enough to preside over the catering
force and Captain "Abble" Sponsler
commanded the "fleet" that conveyed
the family to and from the island.
Park Superintendent Taylor and his
assistant executive, J. Raymond Hof
fert. who kindly assisted in the ar
rangements, were guests of honor,
and V. Grant Forrer, who has attend
ed every one of the cornroasts since
they became an institution in the Tele
graph Family, and who was last year
made a member by adoption, com
pleted the list of guests. A resolution
of thanks was passed for the services
of Mr. Cramp and another of regret
for the absence of George V. Corl. who
was kept at home by the threatening
weather. Mr. corl has taught Mr.
Cramp all the arts of cornroasting and
yesterday Mr. Cramp added a new
wrinkle of his own in the way of a
labor saving device that ought to be
i the envy of comroasters the country
over. It will be reserved for exclusive
; use at Telegraph cornroasts.
| It has been said that girls fear rain.
The charge is a base libel, at least so
far as Telegraph girls are concerned,
for they sal right out in the shower
that came up while supper was being
served and never even hesitated be
tween frankfurters and lollypops.
The Telegraph baseball team was
there to a man and it demonstrated
that it could do more than lick any
nine of its weight in the county. One
member whose batting average is
about .400 was high man with seven
cars of corn. two. sweetpotatoes and
six frankfurters to his credit, with a
lot of lollypops thrown in for good
measure. Home of the others almost
tied the score but lost out in the ninth
inning.
After it was all over the "Family"
got together and decided that'it was
ready to accept an invitation for next
year. This puts it right up to Mr.
Staekpole. Doubtless he'll be glad
to hear about it.

THIS IS THE $11,500 SOLID GOLD ROTARY WHEEL THAT WILL BE
IN HARRIS BURG NEXT TUESDAY
All the Rotary clubs of the United
States and Canada will be represented
at the Panama-Pacific exposition next
year by a gigantic- golden emblem
comprising a series of wheels within

The emblem' of the Rotarians will
be on exhibition in the window of
Diener's Jewelry store, 408 Market
street, on Tuesday, September 15, and
at the Rotary Club meeting the same
evening at the Stieff Piano rooms, 24
North Second street. A city policeman
has been detailed to guard the wheel
while it is in Harrlsburg. It cost
$11,500.
Every since a member of the Los
Angeles Rotary Club conceived the
unique idea of representing these or
ganizations of the country at the big
exposition, Rotarians and other inter
ested folks the country over have been
eager to see the emblem.
After (he wheel was completed it
was decided to take it to every city in
which a club existed but the right
man could not be picked for the pur
pose and the international association
finally arranged with the 125 clubs to
have the embem exhiibted before each
organization.
The Golden Wheel of the Rotarians
was constructed at great expense and
the purpose of sending it all over the
United States is to thus extend an in
vitation to all Rotarians to visit San
Francisco next year.
Harrlsburg There, Too
The larger wheel is about a foot
and a half In diameter. It represents
the international Rotary emblem.
Within this are the six smaller wheels
representing the clubs of Oakland,
Sacramento, San Francisco, San Jose,
San Diego and Stockton. All these
wheels are hewn from California, gold.
Below the larger wheel-frame are
the smaller golden circles that repre
sent the other organizations. And
conspicuous among the latter, of
course. Is the emblem of the Rotary
Club of Harrisburg.
The emblem after having been ex
hibited in the club towns of California
and was then taken to the interna
tional convention at Houston, Tex.,
after having been shown in Phoenix,
Ariz., and El Paso, Tex. Now the
wheel is on its way here and after the
great tour is completed it will be
taken back to the exposition grounds
at 'Frisco.
To date the emblem has been on
exhibition in these cities: San An
tonio, Waco, Austin, Fort Worth and
Dallas, Tex.; Chicago, Indianapolis,
Toledo, Jollet, 111.; Detroit. Buffalo,

London, Sept. 12, 3 A. M.—Tele
graphing from Petrograd the corre
spondent of the Morning Post says:
"The Austrian retirement on the
Vistula is being conducted with a
semblance of order, but the case is
very different with the right wing,
operating near Tomazow. The Aus
trians here are routed and fleeing in
the utmost disorder. Driving in be
tween the two wings, the Russians
have cut oft this Austro-German army
and completely surrounded it on the
front flank.. The Russians have sum

BULL NEARLY KILLS
BOY 111 HIGH
Lad Will Likely Recover; Animal
Gores Fanner in Fight
in Barnyard
Several farm hands armed with
pitchforks battled for a half an hour
vesterdny afternoon with an enraged
bull in the liarn on the Motter farm
near Highspire to prevent it from gor
ing to death Eugene Book, a 15-year
old youth.
Young Book is employed by Peter
Jaeobs, tennant on the farm to do
chores about the place. Yesterday
afternoon he went to the barn to feed
tho stock and noticed that the bull
was loose. He opened the barn door
and attempted to tie the animal. As
he stepped through the door the bull
made a mad rush towards him. Be
fore he had taken a step the animal
struck him and crushed him to the
floor, plunging one horn deep into the
youth's neck and probably injuring
him internally.
Jacobs, the farmer, saw the altack
and rushed to the boy's aid. The en
raged animal turned on him and be
fore the farmer could save himself,
cut several deep gashes in his arms
and chest. Grabbing a pitchfork and
calling for help, Jacobs me tthe re
peated rushes of the bull. Several
farm hands worked half an hour be
fore the bull was tied.
Young Book was token to the office
of Dr. W. B. Kirkpatrlck, highspire, |
where it was found that lie had a
wound three inches deep in his neck.
He was taken to the Harrisburg Hos
pital where ail Operation was per
formed last night. To-day the youth
is resting well and will likely recover.
Steel Outlook Affords
Little Cause For Joy '
Discussing the steel situation, the '
Wall Street Journal to-day says:
"There is little in the steel situation 1
to warrant optimism. <»derrs are i
small and there has bepn a further re- ,
duction in operations of furnaces and
mills. Some plants are operating be
low 50 per cent, of capacity. But 1
stocks are low and any favorable news 1
from abroad would be followed by a
quick turn for the better in steel.
Prices are being well maintained and
this is the most encouraging develop- ,
ment. Export business is developing
slowly."
Announcement was made yesterday
at the Steelton offlc°s of the Pennsyl
vania Steel Company that the com
pany was incorporated in Illinois, so
that it may do business in that Stale.
The capital stock in Illinois is $330.
J. V. \V. Revnders, of Steelton, is
president and Carl B. Ely, of Harris
burg, is secretary.

RAILROADS PREPMIE
TO INCREASE PROFITS
Comprehensive Movement on to
Bring About More Satis
factory Results
Philadelphia, gcpt. 12. The rail- j
roads of the United States are plan- j
nlng to launch a comprehensive move- j
ment for the increase of revenues in j
all branches of their service following
President Wilson's recommendation
that the railroads should be helped in j
every possible way in the present ;
crisis. The recommendation was con- j
tallied in the President's letter to
Frank Trumbull, chairman of the f com
mittee of railroad presidents, following
their conference with him last Wed- :
nesjlay. In the letter th» President
called the attention of the country to
the imperative need that railroad
credits be sustained at this time.
First Intimation of the movement was
contained in an announcement by the
Pennsylvania Railroad of an increase
of 12% per cent, in the rates of mile
age hooks. The second step looking
to a decvense in operating expenses, so
as to increase net revenues was the
announcement by the Pennsylvania
that beginning on Tuesday next sixty
eight trains would be dropped on the
divisions entering Philadelphia. This
same plan of economy is also worked
out on the Pennsylvania lines west of
Pittsburgh and Krie.
To Urt .More Money
Steps which are to follow as quickly
as they can he worked out, are:
A general increase In passenger
rates wherever practical.
Appeals to tlie Legislatures of the
various States to repeal the full
crew laws.
Elimination of all free services
and t lie making of charges for
services rendered.
Sale of properties not used or
needed In transportation purposes.
To contest In the Federal Courts
the right of State Commissions to
compel tiie carriers to make allow
ances to the so-called tap or ter
minal lines, which allowances, are
characterized as "rebates" by the
Interstate Commerce Commission,
and which virtually are directed to
he abolished by that body.
The repeal of the New Jersey
grade crossing law—which would
cost the Pennsylvania Railroad
alone more than $5,000,000 if it
were carried out.
The repeal of the two-cent fare
laws in those States where such
legislation Is still in force.
Work On Electric Conches. After
a delay of several months, owing to the
big strike at the Westinghouse Klec
tric Works, at Pittsburgh, the Pennsyl
vania Railroad Company will shqrtly
resume work on Installing electric mo
tors in some ninety steel passenger
coaches, at the Altoona shops, for use
between Philadelpiha and Paoli, Pa.
