"WILD BILL" DONOVAN
"Wild Bill" Donovan has the dis
tinction of opening the 1916 baseball;
season. With one of the largest
squads ever assembled by the New j
York Yankees, Donovan opened the '•
Spring training at Macon, Ga., on
Washington's Birthday. None of the ;
other teams start training as early :
as this.
Although Captain Huston and Col. j
Kuppert. the owners of the Yankees!
have spent more than $160,000 lor
new players to bolster up the team,
the most optimistic fans are not pre
dicting a pennant for the New York
Americans. However, Donovan pre
dicts that he will finish the 1916 sea
son farther up in the standing of clubs I
I than he did the 1915 session.

GOVERNOR SPEAKS
AT DETROIT TODAY
Talks 011 Importance of Char-'
ucter-Building and National
Ideals
Detroit, Feb. 24.—"The measure of j
a. nation is the measure of its people,;
their Ideals and their achievements,"!
said Governor Brumbaugh, of Penn- j
sylvania, in the first of four addresses {
he will make in connection with the i
national educational convention here.'
The Governor was addressing the Y. I
M. C. A. of Detroit.
"Without ideals achievement is;
small," he said. "And the nation not |
progressive. It is a matter of mo
ment to have right ideals steadilyl
pressed upon the minds of the whole|
population if the nation is to reach i
up and out to the full st&ture of its'
possibilities. To create a great peo-1
pie ->ve must have vision. The Bible!
well declares, 'Where there is no vi
sion the people perish.' In the long
journey in the wilderness, in the
longer struggle to retain the Prom
ised Land and to exalt the nation, the
vision of the Divine leadership was
imminent in the Hebrew soul. It was
a fiery cloudy pillar by day and by
night carrying them steadfustly to the
station of exalted service and holy
achievement.
"It was vision in the soul of Socra
tes, Pericles, Plato, Aristotle and Aris
tophnes that made Athens the glory
city of Greece and the light-bearing
race of the golden days before modern
history. We in America can learn
much by taking the vision of the best
in the past as our guidance."
The Governor pai da high tribute to
the Y. M. C. A., saying: "The Y. M.
C. A. must stand for all the graces of
the soul, the ideals of life if society is
to advance, the nation prosper, men
to become all that God would have
them to be. and civilization advanced
to a reign of pure loyalty to God and '
to the right."
Case Cars Show Unusual
High Type of Hood
The prospects for the automobile;
and general business for the coming J
year are splendid, says E. J. Gittins, I
vice-president, in charge of sales of the i
J. I. Case T. M. Company, Racine. This
time of year is naturally full of many |
predictions, but the results of the re- ,
cent shows indicate that our belief I
in the excellence of general conditions j
is well founded.
The fact that we are optimistic j
is produced by an actual condition, j
Before a published announcement was
made of the new rase Forty for the
coming year, practically the entire out
put of this company then scheduled i
was contracted for. Since that time 1
the schedule has been Increased, and j
the show here taken place, with the
result that the problem confronting
us is that of meeting the demand.
Bringing out;»as we have this year,
a Forty following along the lines of
its famous predecessors, we have been
especially gratified at the reception
that this car has received. The many
thoughtful small features which we
have incorporated into this car have
caused much comment by the motor
car buyers. The removable upholstery,
which allows a change of color
scheme to vary the monotony or to
meet changing seasons, has been es
pecially commented on and appre
ciated. The Case Forty was the. first
car, at its price, to'include this fea
! ture. It is so simple to take out one
set of upholstery and replace it with
another, that, we arc not surprised
at the weight this is having with auto
mobile purchasers.
We look for a continuance of the
splendid prospects of automobile busi
ness. This car is commanding atten
tion at the Conover and Mehring dis
play because of the ne\fr lines that is
■ said to show the brand of future body
designs. The hood is especially high,
| being removed from the heat of the
engine which permits a permanent '
: gloss finish.

LEARN TO RUN
AUTO AT SHOW
Easy to Operate Car; Courte
{ ous Demonstrators Will Ex- j
plain to You
How much time is required to learn
how to run an automobile?
Do you really want to know? Then 1
visit the automobile show at the Emer- j
i son-Brantingham Company building,
Tenth and Market streets. One vet- i
| eran demonstrator said today:
"It is easy to run a car if you study !
j the principal points, and keep your j
[ nerve. A man without nerve should j
j never run a car."
Many pioneers in the automobile |
i business were prominent at the show i
! last night. They talked about early
I automobiles. One veteran told of the |
time when not a half dozen automo
■ biles were run in the streets of Har- j
I rlsburg. and to the interest manifested
j in an automobile when it stopped on j
| a business thoroughfare. He said:
"When one of these motor-driven j
j apparatus stopped in a street, it was!
i surrounded by groups of interested 1
I spectators. Many predicted awful dis- j
| asters if automobiles became popular. '
j Take a look at 'em now. This was
j ladies' day at the big show, and spe
cial musical programs were an
nounced for this afternoon and even
j ing.
Astrich's Will Open

chandise. The Astrich Store at Fourth
and Market streets, owners of the for
mer Cook building, will conduct the

Operation of Automobiles
Has Become Simplified
Only a few years ago. the thought
of any one driving an auttunobile who
was not an expert mechanic was con
sidered almost an impossibility. The
j very characteristics of the automobile
| of those days accounted for this situ- -
; ation. There were numerous parts to
| the cars in their early state of de
j velopment which demanded constant
attention and adjustment. If the
j driver did not tlioroughlly understand
all of these confusing and compli
| cated operations, it was pretty certain
that he woyld not get far with his
J car. With the automobile in this pre
liminary stage, its general use by the
American family was practically pro
! hiblted.
However, with the perfection and
| simplification both in the driving and
maintenance of the modern automo
| bile, it has become a comparatively
simple matter for the man of the
| house to properly handle his car, ex- I
I cept on the cold winter days when!
priming of the engine is necessary
i and wheo the most careful attention j
is demanded in order to prevent the
l radiators from freezing or cylinders
! from chilling. In spite of the great
| improvement made in gasoline cars
lof to-day and their more general
use, it is still a very noticeable fact
that the woman of the house is still
dependent upon someone as a driver
if she is to secure the greatest benefit
from the ownership of a gasoline ;
automobile in the family.
Because of this faci, the electric!
car is beginning to play a most im
portant part in the automobile world
It is a self-evident fact-tliat the gaso
line car wil n/evcr be as simple to
operate as is the electric. Winter
and summer, it is always ready Tor,
instant use by the women or any one
else in the family.
Further, the modern electric car
> with its increased speed and mileage,
| offers sufficient capacity and is sturdy
i enough in construction to meet prac
] tiCally 98 per cent, of all the trips de
j manded by the family, of an auto
} mobile. Professional men more and
more are turning to the electric car.
This is proven by statistics carefully
compiled by the Anderson Electric
Car Company, manufacturers of the
famous Detroit Electric.
"There are many people who do
not understand the qualities of the
modern electric," says C. B. Hoffer,
local representative for Detroit Elec
trics, "and are astonished when they
are told that this car Is being used
for interurban runs throughout the
entire country as well as. for use in
cities."
Mileage capacity is offered In ex
, cess of the requirements of a long
day's run and at speeds faster than
the law allows. No doubt within the
very near future, the electric car will
increase in general use In proportion
to its real merit. When this time ar
: rives, automobile worries, troubles
| and expense will undoubtedly be
| greatly reduced, as has been so em-
I j phaticaJly prophocied by both Dr.
i Charier P. Steinmetz and Thomas A.
II Edison.

TRENTON IS NEXT
ON LOCAL FLOOR
Eastern Leaguers Start Hard
Schedule Saturday Night;
Hough in Line-up
Starting with Saturday night of this
i week with Trenton Eastern League as
I the attraction, the Harrisburg Inde
| pendents will have as opponents for
I the next .month the hardest teams on
, their schedule. To win a majority of
these games, the locals will be com- ;
pel led to act their fastest pace.
Harry Hough, the most famous j
basketball player in the world, will
play with the Trenton team. He is j
| acknowledged by every authority as j
the best all-around player who ever
trod the wooden way.
The Trenton team Is not very far i
j up in the league race this season, due j
to the many changes that have been j
j made in the line-up of the team. This
has interfered with the development
{of teamwork. The line-up includes
i Getzinger, Frankle, and Hough of lust
year's team. .
Records Shipments of
Overlands For February
It seems to be quite the thing to
| break records around the big Willys
i Overland plant these days.
Record daily shipments were re- !
J corded the past week and now comes '
the news that on February 11 the !
number of February cars actually
shipped exceeded the total shipments
of the entire month of February of
last year by more than 500 cars.
Last year's February shipments of
5,627 Overland and Wilys-Knight cars
was considered phenomenal at the
lime, especially in view of the fact that
all cars were shipped to dealers
through the winter season —no storage
facilities being provided at the factory.
To have predicted a trebling of
these big figures for a succeeding year j
would have seemed highly improbable, |
but John N. Willys has a way of ac- j
complishing seemingly improbable 1
things that makes him the wonder of
the automobile industry.
With the occupation of an immense
factory building containing 600,000
square feet of floor space and devoted
entirely to the production of the new!
popular priced mod<jl 75 selling at !
s6l5 —and with a new addition that is j
| to be even, larger ncarlng completion
the production is rapidly being rushed
i toward the factory capacity of a thou

Tore it away from its place
I On the side of the blooming bower.
And held it against his face;

Ay, trod it under his foot
As it lay in his pathway there,
Then spurned it away with his boot
Because it had ceased to be fair.
