Convention of Eagles
By Associated Press
Spokane. Wash., AUK. 3.—Delegates

TO HAVE NEW SCHOOL
FOR OFFICE TRAINING
W. H. KELLER
Harrlsburg is to have a n«w Office |
Training School that gives promises
of being a real live wire in the business
world. This school will open in the
new Kaufman Building, 4 South Mar
ket Square, August 30, with M. E.
Keller, principal, and W. H. Keller,
business manager. It now has a tem
porary office at SO9 Patriot Building.
The thought that is uppermost in
the minds of those who are at the
head of this school is to give such a
practical business education to Its
pupils that they will at once reap a
practical advantage In the world and
be prepared to move to higher stations
In life as rapidly as opportunity ar
rives. The fact that this school does
not claim to be a university from
which one may step directly to the head
of some big business is in Itself some
thing to inspire confidence. Its claim
is that It lays the groundwork of a
thorough business education which
supplies the young man or woman with
energy and ambition, a foundation
upon which he or she may build busi
ness success.
Another confidence-Inspiring feature
of this new institution is the thor
oughly demonstrated capability of its
organizers. M. E. Keller, principal,
wan for four years principal and man
ager of the Waynesboro Business Col
lege, and in addition has had consid
erable experience In teaching special
: subjects in private schools. W. H.
j Keller, busineaa manager, waa for

SKRVICKS FQR COU BRACKF7TT
Washington, D. C., Aug. 3.—Funeral
services were held here to-day for
Colonel G. B. Rrackett, who for the
last eighteen years had heen chief
pomologist of the Department of Agri
culture. He died yesterday after a
brief illness in his eighty-ninth year.
A m
M. E. KELLER
eight years business manager of a local
business school, during which time the
school more than doubled its attend
ance. His experience as teacher and
business man for a quarter of a cen
tury Is at the command of every stu
dent every day. These men have
already trained hundreds of young
people and placed them In good po
sitions. They are in a position to do
the same for hundreds of others.
The course they have laid out In
cludes Gregg shorthand, bookkeeping,
touch typewriting, penmanship, office
practice, business English, spelling,
letter writing, punctuation, business
low. business forms and business arith
metic. To complete it means not'
merely to study these things, but to
have a thorough training in them.
The work Is so planned that each stu
dent may advance as fast as ability
permits.
No better location for such a school
could be found in the city. The new
Kaufman building is one of the most
modern and best equipped buildings In
the city, convenient to all car and rail
road lines. The Office Training School
Is on the third floor, Its various rooms
being separated by glass partitions,
which afford unusual advantage for
daylight. Every desk in every room
is light and cheerful and the furnish
ings are all new and of the best ap
proved sanitary kind. The school has
a private entrance at 4 South Market
Square. Nothing has heen left undone 1
that can minister to the comfort and
convenience of the students.
The school has in. preparation a
booklet entitled "The Art of Getting
Along In the World," full of valuable
Information, which will be sent with
out cost to any Interested person writ- I
luff for It. —Advertisement. I
INSPECTION PUN
IS OBJECTED TO
Said to Be Probability That
National Guard May Go Back '
to the Former Method
The system of inspection of the Na
tional Guard in vogue this year and
which was recently announced in The
Telegraph is being sharply criticised
all over the State according to news
papers and officers are recommending
changes. The Philadelphia Inquirer
says of It:
"It is probable that the system of
rating at the next inspection will be
the same as it was last year, which
seems more fair to the officers and
men. It is more competitive and one
that seems to be more satisfactory by
a whole lot than the new one, which
has been declared unsatisfactory by
officers high in rank in the guard.
"It is interesting to note that out
of all the companies in the National
Guard of Pennsylvania only six re
ceived the highest rating of "Passed
plus*," which means excellent. These
honor companies were Companies G,
Ninth Infantry; L, I and B, of the
Fourth Infantry, and K and I of the
Tenth Infantry. Thirty-six com
panies in all received the lowest rating
of "passed minus."
The inspectors speak of the great
number of absentees, and declare that
it is entirely too great. The person
nel of the men generally was good.
Colonel Sweeney calls attention to the
apparent neglect of the study of the
Manual of Interior Guard Duty. In
nearly every company there is report
ed a shortage of equipment and in
many cases the shortage is large.
Based upon the conduct of the troops,
on the evening of inspection, the dis
cipline is reported as good. However,
from the small attendance reported at
weekly drills, and the disobedience of
orders evidenced in the large number
of absentees without leave, reported
at this inspection, it is obvious that
the general discipline of such organ
izations must be poor. Improvement
is noted In military courtesy. The
paper work of the guard appears to
be well in hand and receiving proper
consideration.
All the troops, the hospital detach
ment and the headquarters of the
First Cavalry were rated by Colonel
John P. Wood as "passed."
Most of the troops, according to
Colonel Wood, are without adequate
accommodations for the proper care
of public property, and have not suffi
cient room for drill purposes.. There
is also urgent need of provision for
more mounted drills in all of the
troops.
German-Americans Oppose
Plans For Prohibition
By Associated Press
San Francisco, Cal., Aug. 3.—Oppo
sition to national prohibition was ex
pected to take some tangible form to
day in the shape of a definite program
at the second day's business session of
the National German-AYnerlcan Alli
ance of the United States. Dr. C. J.
Hexamer, of Philadelphia, president
of the organization, said resolutions
dealing with the subject of prohibition
would occupy a prominent part of the
convention, which Is to conclude Sat
urday.
The report of Secretary Adolph
Timrn, of Philadelphia, recommend
inp that prohibition be opposed, was
adopted yesterday and steps were
taken by some of the,sso delegates to
formulate a plan of action. It was
Indicated that the alliance was not
opposed to prohibition in itself, but
that the methods of gaining It were
not likely to stamp out the drink habit.
Education, it was (♦ontended, was a
better means of modernizing the con
sumption of liquor.

P. 0. RECEIPTS FOR
YEAR HALF MILLION
Exceeds Last Year's Business by
Thousands of Dollars, Re
port Shows
During the fiscal year ending, March
31, nearly a half million dollars' worth
of business was transacted at the local
post office. From present indications
this year's business will exceed that
mark by thousands of dollars.
From all sources receipts reached
$463,1.50.38, against $378,820.20 for
the preceding year. Probably the
largest single item was the money or
der business. Domestic ones amount
ed to $465,510.06 while those paid
were $787,724.13. International
money orders totaled $28,151.21, while
those paid were $3,936.45. Nearly
200,000 money orders were Issued.
The sale of stamps, stamped envel
opes and other postal supplies netted
nearly $500,000. Second, third and
fourth class matter brought in about
$50,000. Box rents amounted to more
than $5,000.
In the registry department 50,517
pieces of mail were handled. Special
delivery service also showed a big in
crease. 39,674 pieces from other of
fices were received to be distributed
here, and 1,283 from local offices. The
average time required to dispatch the
letter from the time it was received
was nine and three-quarters miniltes.
| For this service messengers were paid
$3,270.88. In the postal savings de
partment $22,290 Is on deposit. Dur-
ing the year there were 716 deposits
and 326 withdrawals, while open ac
counts, June 30 stood at 207.
Postmaster Frank C. Sites has is
sued a warning to post office patrons
to be careful. An unusually large
number of persons recently have
left their keys in the locks and failed
to properly close it after getting their
■nail. Loss of mail has sometimes re
sulted.
The postmaster has decided to con
tinue his policy, inaugurated last year
of placing parcel post booths at all
nearby fairs, and expositions so that
farmers may hecome more thoroughly
acquainted with this branch of the
postal service.

London, Aug.. 3. A dispatch to

wishes to attack Serbia, Greece would
prove that the Greco-Serbian treaty
is not a vain word, and would consider
it an obligation of honor to aid Serbia
immediately.
