RAISE $2,424 FOR ORGAN IN ONE DAY St. John's Congregation Goes After $1,500, but Just Couldn't Stop There I ' Mention of the Rev. G. W. Hartman tliat his church, St. John's Reformed, was badly in need of a plpeorgan dur ing a conversation with E. J. Hocken berry, resulted yesterday in the fuHill ment of hopes entertained by the con gregation for years. Without any publicity, Mr. Hocken berry, an expert on short time cam paigns. started yesterday morning with the intention of raising $1,500. When the returns were counted last night it was found that $2,424.85 had been raised. On the executive committee in charge of the campaign were Dr. G. W. Hartman. F. G. Mock, J. W. Mc- AYII llams. H. J. Fornwalt, Mrs. Carrie Miller, Mrs. L. A. Faunce and the Rev. »G. W. Hartman. Working under the direction of this committee and Mr. liockenberry were teams captained by Mrs. A. A. Garman. Mrs. H. M. Wea ver. C. L> Hoke and H. W. Weitzel. The campaign was informally launched Tuesday at a dinner, after which addresses were made by Pro fessor F. K. Martin, Professor J. K. Kurzenknabe. Dr. G. W. Hartman and the Rev. G. W. Hartman. The follow ing evening the workers gathered to discuss plans and afterward pledged $524. The total of $2,424.85 was made up of 46& subscriptions. The raising of this sum, which in sures a pipeorgan for the church marks the end of years of endeavor, during which Andrew Carnegie was appealed to. Mr. Hockenberry volun teered his services free. Framing Is Important in Bringing Out Color Water color pictures usually look w ell In narrow gilt frames. A narrow mat of cream, white or gilt usually brings out the colors. Often, however, a silver gray or green frame, some times one of light brown, flat and not heavy in appearance, is used to good advantage. The tendency now is to frame most pictures with little or no mats. The color and quality of prints, either col ored. brown or black, are best brought out with the frame set close against the print. When a mat must be used have it in a color that harmonizes with the tone of the picture. A photograph printed in sepia tones or any of the sepia prints is best framed in brown wood. Usually, ac cording to present-day standards, a kat, simple frame looks best, although one of sarved wood or turned wood <an be used. Sometimes the Floren tine wood frames that travelers to Florence buy and bring home by the yard can be effectively used on brown prints They are especially in keeping on a copy of somp old Italian picture in brown. Put usually a simple, un ornamented frame Is very effective. WON" TELEGRAPH'S PRIZE Eiizabetlitown. Pa., Jan. 15.—Lutz Brothers, potiltrymen, of 45 Ann TVeet.

Mr. Atwood was strictly neutral in his remarks, but couldn't very well disguise his pro-German feelings, which he acquired quite naturally through twenty-five years' residence in that country. He introduced his re marks with a brief dissertation on the dangers of overplaying the "Made in America" campaign now being waged so vigorously in this country, saying: American Trade With Germany After the War "It Is all very well for over-zealous patriots to take as their slogan. 'Buy in your own country,' only this is a principle which would soon put an end to international trade and be baneful for the comity of nations. Germany, for instance, needs ojiir copper, cotton and petroleum, and. on the other hand, we Americans need dyestuffs, chemi cals, etc. Of course we are in duty bound to push our own manufacturers, and it is often good policy to some times make our own customers believe our own geeso are swans. The United States cannot, in the long run do with out export trade and we are going to become the greatest exporting nation the world has ever seen. Where We Can Compete "In general a firm going into the German market should have its own special representative who will be found to be the connecting link be tween producer and consumer. There is no reason why American textiles, especially hosiery and knit goods can not compete with German goods of the same kind. There will always be articles with which we cannot com pete, otherwise trade ceases to be reciprocal as it should he. American fur-trimmed clothing can be exported with profit, provided, as in general, we consult the tastes of our customers. In hides and leather and in woolen goods we could compete had we enough of these articles to spare. Jn manufactures of paper we are far ahead of Germany respecting the va ciety of goods, designs and uses to which we put paper: these are finding a ready market In Germany, but must be well shown and advertised.

Wages are gradually increasing in Germany so that the wage in the two countries is destined to become equalized. The American 'ready-made' suits for men and boys is a new article for Germany and is sell ins well at present at the department stores in Berlin, but the market in these suits has not begun to be ex ploited by American manufacturers. Fifteen dollar suits sell at thirty dol lars, allowing a good profit. The qual ity of these goods is first class and the fit good and answer all requirements. Here, to have a man on the ground, giving his sole attention to pushing this line of goods, would be money well spent. American collars and cuffs and shirts is also a line which would sell well in Germany, to be sure wc have our goods there but in small quantities only and no stacks. A Ger man collar sells for twenty-five cents, so that here there ought to be a good profit. It has always been my pet idea, or rather one of my pet ideas, ti> hove some American collar and [shirt manufacturer open a retail store in Berlin. ■ "During the few weeks I have been in the United States the usual greeting 1 receive is: 'Well, you are lucky to <ret away from Germany Just at this j time.' "I mention this as indicative of the i erroneous impression concerning con- , ditions in Germany at the present time. I say erroneous, as if you were to-day in the city of Berlin, you would not imagine that the country is en gaged in one of the most formidable wars Germany ever undertook. It is remarkable to what extent normal conditions have been maintained in Berlin since the beginning of hostili ties. Ha *ee just as many abte-bod ied men in the streets as ever, you see lust as many ladies doing their shop ping as ever, you will find the cafes and confectioners' are frequented as ever, onl» jou will find the German quieter and more subdued as a natural result of the terrible sacrifices almost every family is making. The theaters are all open and well attended, al though many of them have reduced their prices and most of them are giv jiug patriotic plays or such bearing on some events in German history. The i moving picture shows are going on asi I usual, and, as usuai, are packed. The) j retail stores, especially the great de- , partinent stores, are still doing a good j business. Electric and other power i I cabs are still running. A small num-j | her of wives of conductors on the sur- I, i face lines have been given the places!.

The mines have contributed no men to the i: army. The copper mines In Klslehen, .

"It is scarcely necessary to remark j that industrial activity has undergone j many limitations during the days ofi mobilization, but assumed fairly nor- j mal shape after concentration of thei military forces. No slack was exper-1 ienced by their industries connected I with the production of food products, j Food Stuffs "The harvests last Fall in Germany; were almost normal, the only decrease j being in the yield of leguminous; j fruits; a million and a half cwt. of, rye exceeded the average yield, rye i forming the staple article of food. All, the crops were harvested expeditiously by aid of the pupils in the higher classes of the schools, and the seed ing next Spring wilt, probably, be done hv the same persons. Tou must not think, however, that there are no men in the fields and workshops, this Is noti the case as only those without any physical blemish are taken for the | army. Germany can put many more able-bodied men than she has in the i : field to-day. "I would pay a tribute to the way Americans were treated in Berlin, in > ; fact, throughout Germany, after the! outbreak of the war.
