A Testimony From
Experience and
Observation
If every man, woman and child knew the satisfac
tion and real happiness of having money at a specified
time—accumulated by small and regular savings made
each week and not missed —they would join the
curity Holiday Savings Fund, and have money for
Insurance, taxes, coal, or any other needs, and not be
worried when these payments become due. If vou
have spent, during the year, money that you really
have nothing for, which is an experience of many, don't '
do so the coming year. Make up your mind to have
something at the close of 1915. If you listen to this
you will have. Join now.

SATURDAY EVENING,
|J. R. Miller Writes of
! His Family Reunion and
I Christmas Feasting
I
1 The following is from the pen of
J. R. Miller, one of the oldest sub
• scribers of the Telegraph in Harrls
burg, relating the incidents of a fam
ily reunion around the Christmas
table at his home yesterday. Mr.
Miller writes for many rural news
papers under the name of "Foxy
Grandpa" and some of his historical
sketches have appeared In the Tele
graph. "Foxy Grandpa" sas -this to
say of yesterday's celebration:
"A family reunion and dinner was
heW yesterday at the residence of
J. R. Miller, the veteran liveryman, at
348 and 350 Verbeke street, and the
only living representative of the fra
jternity of the long ago. You will find
■ him at the same old stand where thir
ty-five years of his useful life was
spent. To-day he has arrived at the
ripe old age of 811.4 years, and Is still
hale and hearty and ever ready for
his four square meals per day, Sunday
| excepted, on account of church du
ties. The dinner was served at his
residence, 1316 Xorth Sixth street,
where he has resided for over half a
century, having moved into what was
then the suburbs of the now Greater
Harrisburg. The growth of the city is
shown by the fact that the Miller
home is now almost the center of
town.
The guests at yesterday's pleasant
event were as follows: J. R. Miller, at I
the head of the table, "monarch of all I
he surveyed"; on his left his eldest
j daughter, Mrs. Catharine Downie. and i
j her son. James: Mr. and Mrs. Harry
(Silver and little daughter Kathrvn, the)
! mascot of the Miller family; Mr. and j
| Mrs. John Flickinger. Shelley E. Mil-1
ler. of Altoona, Mr. Miller's only* llv-1
Mng son. big. stalwart and good-liok-j
I ing. the very counterpart of his illus
jtrious and well-preserved sire. Others
iof Mr. Miller's grandchildren and
I great-grandchildren remained at their
I own homes, some living at a great dis
tance and could not be present, the
j number of great-grandchildren being
! nine.

HAHRISBURG ffijjjftg TELEGRAPH
PROF. SUDFJiCE URGED
FOR SECRETARYSHIP
Hit Friends Place Name Before Dr.
Brumbaugh; Has Broad
Platform
Prof. H. A. Surface. State Economic
! Zoologist for the past twelve years, is
! announced as a candidate for Secre
! tary of Agriculture under the Bruni
! t'uugli administration. Kor some time
i it has been reported that In view of
[the expressed intention of his chief.
Secretary X. B. C'rltchfleld, to retire
at the close of his present term next
February. Prof. Surface's friends
would seek the appointment for him.
Recently newspapers in various parts
of tho Commonwealth have suggested
Surface for Secretary of Agriculture,
in view of the magnitlcent work he
has done for the fruit growers of the
State, and Prof. Surface to-day admit
ted that he has decided to permit his
qualifications to be placed before Dr.
Brumbaugh for his consideration.
Prof. Surface rests his candidacy on
a broad constructive policy. He has
given the agricultural problem of
Pennsylvania much thought, and as
secretary says he would extend edu
cational and demonstrational branch
of the work along the same practical
lines as have mode his administration
of the office of Economic Zoologist so
successful. When Surface was ap
pointed by Governor Pennypacker to
the office he now holds, few personß
had ever known that the State em
ployed an Economic Zoologist. Under
I his direction fruit growing lias received
; a new impetus in Pennsylvania and
has become one of Its leading farm in
dustries. Insect pests have been
checked and the farmers have been
taught how to plant and care for their
orchards and small fruits.
Great Work Ahead
"We are on the eve of great possi
bilities in the office of Secretary of Ag
riculture." said Prof. Surface -today,
"and I would like to be the man to
undertake them. I believe the funda
mental duty of the Secretary of Agri
culture to be the aid in the develop
ment of a better, happier and more
prosperous rural life. This must be
accomplished through co-operation of
all agricultural forces, and must aim
chiefly at the conservation and proper
use of soil fertility and agricultural
energy and the welfare of the agri
cultural people.
"Sociological forces, such as would
contribute to rural betterment; the de
velopment of agriculture in the
schools; the training of agricultural
teachers in the training schools; farm
plots connected with school buildings
where agriculture is taught: better
roads; the centralization of schools
and the transportation of pupils to
such schools; the teaching of domestic
economy; the utilization of school
buildings as social'centers: the devel
opment of rural school athletics, liter
ary societies and agricultural societies,
and above all the fraternal and social
spirit of the rural people; resulting in
the development and improvement of
rural churches—these are some of the
things to which especial attention
should be directed and which must be
taught by practical demonstrational
methods.
Rural Councils
"By some means like the organiza
tion of a rural council in each county
of the State, the Secretary could learn
the conditions and needs of that coun
ty better than in any other way.
Through the co-operation of such a
rural council, the county farm special
ist. and the departmental demonstra
tors it would be possible to establish
and maintain definite regional demon
strations and experimental farms.
There it would be possible to show the
results and economy In the use of
modern machinery, modern agrlcul
turaral methods, the prevention of
farm waste, tho economic building up
of poor soil, the results of pulverized
limestone and the legumes, a proper
rotation of crops with specialization
according to the adaptation of the soil.
On these farms, too. could be carried
on the testing of seeds and the selec
tion of varieties, not only of plants and
fruits for that particular region but
of the best breeds of livestock and
poultry as well. There also could be
demonstrated the latest features of
dairying, the work of co-operative cow
testing associations, the handling of
dairy products in a sanitary way; bet
ter transportation and selling facilities
of farm products; the diagnosis, rem
edy and prevention of diseases of ani
mals and poultry, the suppression of
diseases of plants and injurious insects
and especially the best farm methods
for the prevention of loss by pests,
rather than waiting for the time when
the spray pump must be used. On
these experimental and demonstra
tional farm methods of crop produc
tion could b-i studied and shown, such
as the thinning of fruits, the depth,
methods and dates for plowing and
cultivating, the growing of catch crops,
increase of soil fertility by the growth
of legumes of various kinds; the meth
ods and dates of harvesting crops; of
picking and packing fruit and of stor
ing and shipping farm produce. Here
also could be demonstrated and devel
oped the advantages of co-operation in
buying supplies and in selling crops;
and in general, the kind of co-opera
tion that must exist In order to result
in the greatest good for our agricul
tural people.
"New conditions may arise that must
be met. Details of problems must be
solved only after considerable thought,
but it is certain that country life
should be made more attractive, and
this cannot be without efforts that will
result in better financial returns and
less drudgery, although not necessarily
less work: a better sense of protection
for rural life and property: an ethical
development through the improvement
of home surroundings, and the conser
vation of rural life and health by im
proving sanitary conditions, kural
prosperity must be obtained chiefly
through those agencies that will im
prove the quality and increase the
quantity of country produce, with a
reduction in cost of production, or at
least without a proportionate increase
in the cost of the same.
Grandest Art
I "When agriculture, as the grandest
art to which inan can turn his atten
tion. because fundamental to all oth-
II ers, is given its proper place by bein?
dignilied as an art. based upon many
of the sciences, then it will receive the
| respectful attention it deserves, and
the rural youth will comprehend tills
and their art will, in their estimation,
properly be raised to the dignity of a
profession as Important and as pro
found, if not more so. than any other.
There will be no problem then about
how to keep the boys and girls on the
farm.
"The sciences on which this great
art is based —namely geology, zoology,
botany, chemistry and physics with
their numerous branches or divisions
must be properly taught In the rural
schools, so that every boy and girl will
have a chance to learn the educational
dignity that attends the profession of
farming. This means that such train
ing of teachers must not be neglected.
The rural press everywhere must give
attention to such subjects, and legis
lation must co-operate also.
"We can not expect to see a 'rural
up-life' (so called). Better conditions
and advancement for us who live in
the country can come only as au out-

Thieves Hold Up and Rob
Merchant in His Office
Special to The Telegraph
Waynesboro, Pa.. Dec. 2ti.—J. 11.
Baer, who conducts a mill and feed
store at the Cress station, two miles
southeast of Waynesboro, was the vic
tim of a hold-up Christmas Eve about j
! 8 o'clock.
Mr. Baer was sitting in the office of j
1 the mill alone when, suddenly, he saw :
la hand containing a revolver thrust
• through a window and held up to his:
face. About the same time a masked j
man appeared at the door, walked in j
and requested Mr. Baer to hand over I
all his money, and began going j
through Mr. Baer's pockets. The lat
ter could not interfere as he was cov
ered by the revolver, and had to stand
still and be relieved of his purse. All
that was stolen was the purse—but it
was a good haul for the thieves, as it
contained *IOO in money and checks.
Mr. Baer telephoned to Chief of Police
S. W. Staley at Waynesboro, who went
to work on the case immediately.
