McSPARREN, master of the State Grange, ought to be repudiated by every farmer who has any interest in good roads. At Bloomsburg the other day. before a large gathering of farmers, McSpar ren said that the Grange will go on record against the loan by which It is proposed to create a system of good roads from one end of the Com monwealth to the other. The State Grange has been manipu lated so repeatedly for political pur poses in recent years that it is not surprising at this time to hear McSpar ren speaking for the whole of its membership and telling the people in advance of the submission of the question to the Grange, as a body, that the Grange is going to be against the road loan. For a long time it has been the custom of the Grange officers to assume supreme dictatory powers and to force their own selfish views upon thousands of farmers whenever possible. But in this case the Grange master will find himself opposed by a mighty public sentiment. The farmers of this State are its greatest good roads ad vocates. They know that the State can never build an adequate system of highways without a loan and they know, too, that it will be the corpora tions and not the farmers who will have to pay the taxes on the good roads loan. They realize that every dollar now spent on the roads by the State is being well spent and they cannot be fooled by any such twaddle as the Grange officers put out for farm consumption when the loan was up before. WAR'S IXSATIABLE APPETITE THE discarded rails from Amer ican railways are in great de mand in Burope for the manu facture of munitions. The supply of metal has fallen off in all the warring countries. Italy is especially in need, and confidential agents are now visit ing the large railroad companies making offers for discarded rails a condition that lessens the expense of providing new ones. An Italian ship left Philadelphia recently loaded with over 300 tons of old steel rails. To facilitate the loading of the vessel a number of acetylene torches were provided at the docks and by means of the flames from these the long rails were cut in pieces convenient for handling. The insatiable appetite of war is demanding even our scraps and waste. Thousands of tons of rags that should have been turned into paper have gone to the guncotton factories. Even saw dust has been utilized in large quantities in the handling of mu nitions. Most astonishing uses have been found for former waste products. "Who would have thought, for in stance. that the famous old Cumber land \ alley steel railroad bridge over the Susquehanna at this point would be one day broken to fragments and scattered piecemeal over Northern France in an effort to slay thousands of invading German soldiers. But one thing seems certain—there's a rich reward due the junkmen of France after the peace treaty is signed. HORSELESS CAVALRY THIS paragraph is from the staff correspondent of the Philadel phia Evening Ledger with the Pennsylvania troops at the Mexican border: Major Edmunds, commander of th» Philadelphia squadron, has the only horse in the regiment. Th« horseless cavalry will be Issued horses soon. Humorous, isn't it? But tragic, too. Our cavalry at the border to guard the country against possible invasion by Mexico—and without horses! The next thing for the War De partment to do is to create two Penn sylvania regiments of cannonlcss ar tillery. We understand this move is under way. COMMUNITY INTEREST SOUND BEACH. Connecticut, has apparently Kone the limit In com munity holdings by the estab lishment of a community observatory, recently erected at a cost of $1,500. Several scier.titts living in the com munity were Impressed with the fact that members of the boy scouts, camp Are trirlt ani similar organizations were without the means of securing the knowledge of the ordinary stars which their training course demands. The observatory was erected by popu- SATURDAY EVENTwcf, lar subscription end is adapted to ama teur astronomical work. Instead of a large dome, it has a sliding roof which permits the entire sky to be studied. Slowly, but surely, the interest of the individual in the community is being aroused. Here in Harrlsburg it is il lustrated by contributions toward the success of the new "navy." The "navy" by the vay is not nearly so much in need of a telescope as it is of a boathouse. and in this respect it may not be amiss to add that any pub lic spirited citizen with money to spend can make himself mighty popular, with good reason, by contributing either a boathouse or a public swim ming pool. SAFETY LIGHTS FROM out the deeper shadows of the broad Susquehanna basin these evenings, tiny red lights beam a warning to wandering canoeist or mctorboatman to lay his course to port or starboard; the little " lighthouses " mark the presence of sand-pump, or "sucker," steamer or barge of the Harrlsburg Light and Power company at night anchorage and the message that the lanterns on the river flash back to their brighter companions along the "front steps" is of triple significance. Incidentally the basic code is "safety first." Of primary significance, of course, is the fact that a perplexing problem for the canoeist and motorboatman is well on the way toward solution through the enterprise of the public utility corporation, as the electric com pany is the pioneer in the movement to protect the smaller craft from the bulkier boat at night; secondly, there is the rare feeling of relief with which the boatman may paddle or chug about the river "basin"—at least so far as the largest fleet on the river is con cerned; finally, there is the one mess age that will mean so much to the ever-growing membership of the "Greater Harrlsburg Navy"—the ac tual demonstration of the inner mean ing of the waving bar on the "Navy" keystone—co-operation and protection of the followers of the river. Pro tection of this kind has been one of the chief problems that has confronted the "Navy." Many of the officials of the light company are on the "Navy" roster. They planned and carried into effect the one scheme which other river fleet officers should follow. The red lanterns on the Susquehanna basin already light the way. PENNSYLVANIA APPLES nj">HE Pennsylvania apple crop, particularly in the Adams county fruit belt, is becoming so large that the growers are begin ning to worry about railroad facili ties. The Reading hauls most of this fruit and that it is paying strict at tention to the development and is studying the situation carefully with the purpose of providing the growers j with cars and sidings as they are I needed is evident by the fact that prominent among those who attended the apple men's meeting this week were Division Freight Agent E. D. Hil leary and other representatives of the Reading freight department The Adams county development is one of the most interesting in the country and it is only in its infancy.! Ten times the number of trees now in bearing can be accommodated in the region especially fitted for fruit raising without much crowding and doubtless the present range of orch ards will be materially increased as experiments demonstrate the adapta bility of the land. Pennsylvania ap ples are destined to rank in quantity j with those of New York or the Pacific coast, and those who eat them know that they are better than either. AFTER THE WAR IN the new German Union of Techni cal find Economic Associations, with its 60,000 members, there has been organized the greatest industrial body In any country in the world. The members include architects, en gineers, electro-technical experts, ma- • rine engineers, coal and iron men and; chemists. Planned many years ago, the com pletion of the organization has been hastened by the war, since one of its main purposes is to prepare for the great commercial battle which will begin as soon as the military fighting is at an end. This German Union proposes to work in close relations with similar bodies in Austria and Hungary, the ultimate aim being to incorporate them all into a Great Central Euro pean body of enormous extent and power. It is argued that such a force will make itself heard in the settle ment of the great industrial problems which will come up after the war and the governments will be forced to pay attention to the commercial interests. And it is also asserted that the mili tary interests of the State will benefit also from such a powerful organiza tion as the technical sciences and chemistry are all the time becoming more important for the army and navy and the general defense of the country. And yet our Democratic friends twiddle their fingers at Washington and tell us that the tariff Is not a cam paign issue. There is Just one way to entrench this country adequately against such foreign competition as is forecasted by the German union—and that is behind a protective tariff wall. FIRST CATCH YOl'R HARE SECRETARY OF COMMERCE KEDFIELD has asked about forty of the leading American shipbuilders, presidents and general managers of principal American steamship companies, and best known naval architects to meet at his office Wednesday, September 27, for an ex change of views on the subject of loadlines and bulkheads and on other phases of the construction of steamers on the ocean and the Great Lakes as related to those two subjects.

""poCttcc# UV Lj<X,YMx, By the Ex-Committee ma n Senator Boies Penrose, of Pennsyl vania, caused to be printed in yester day's issue of the Congressional Rec ord. the otficial publication of Con gress. the list of contributors to the Democratic campaign of 1912 who af terwards were rewarded by political or diplomatic appointments. Senator Penrose pointed out that the Democrats practically had de stroyed the civil service system in their ' gigantic drive" on the Treasury to give places to the "deserving." Obtaining leave to print Senator Pen rose read into the Congressional Rec ord a long list of names of persons contributing to the Democratic cam paign fund who afterwards were awarded political positions. Accusing the Democrats of a "reck less raid" upon the merit system, Sen ator Penrose said: "They have practically destroyed the system; they have taken the great bulk of appointments, scattered all over the country, out of the civil ser vice. and have filled them to the detri ment of the public service and to the inefficiency of the service, as is well known in the Postoifice and other de partments. That Republicans may have been of fenders in the past I am not prepared to argue about: but their offenses were trivial compared to this gigantic drive which has been made in the last two years, with the result that we have had this enormous increase in the number of places—some 20,000 —at an annual expenditure of $45,000,000 a year, filled by men who, in many in stances. are not doing an hour's work a day, as the figures will prove, so far as the discharge of their official duties is concerned. "I shall only refer, Mr. President, to the executive orders made under the present administration. It is really too small a matter for me to discuss, in view of the very extensive operations through riders on appro priation bills. I only call attention to the fact that the number of executive orders made for very trivial, and fre quently for very ridiculous, reasons, have been greater than those made by any other administration in recent years." Among the Pennsylvania Democrats who contributed and were rewarded were George W. Guthrie, who gave SI,OOO, appointed ambassador to Ja pan, and Fred. C. Penfield, of Ger mantown, $22,000, ambassador to Aus tria. General Joffre's Prediction General Joffre's utterances since the beginning of the war have differed from those of numerous other com manders in that while they never admitted the possibility of defeat for the Allies they were not designed to belittle the power of the enemy or to deceive those to whom they were ad dressed as to the magnitude of the task lying before them. Confident in tone, these addresses were not tainted with boastfulness, and consequently they have inspired a belief in Joffre's sincerity and truthfulness* among all who have followed his course. It is this quality of the French gen eralissimo that gives weight aftd im portance to his declarations that the tide of success has begun to flow strongly for the Allies and that their trumph is approaching. From other lips such opinions would com mand only passing attention: a po litical purpose, the necessity of heartening hard pressed soldiers, reassurance for the civil population, would be suspected as motives for their publication. But Joffre, like Kitchener, has never minimized the labors or the danger that must be overcome to win ultimate victory; he has never underestimated the re sources. courage or skill of the ene my. and in consequence of his ha bitual caution his present sanguine expectations cannot fail to make a deep impression.—N.

Book Supply Company, 231-2 Co West Monroe street, Chicago. Price, $1.35. "When a Man's a Man" is the sev enth "best seller" from Mr. Wright's versatile pen. Wllh the appearance of his first book, "That Printer of Udell's," the novelist was heralded as "coming." When his delightfully sweet story, "The Shepherd of the Hills." followed a few years later it was said that he had "arrived." But It was something new in the publishing world for an author to write, consecutively, three success ful books, and "The Calling of Dan Matthews," "true to the four corners of the earth," came as a genuine sur prise. When "best sellers" continued to come from his pen in "The Winning of Barbara Wortli." followed by "Their Yesterdays," and in turn by "The Eyes of the World."' th« question was asked, what* manner of man is this who writes "best sellers" only? Harold Bell Wright has been called "the apostle of the wholesome" and in his new story, "When a Man's a Man" —a story of manhood —he has nobly sustained the characterization. He has never written a cleaner, better story, nor one that is more uplifting. It com bines those Qualities that make "The Winning of Barbara Worth" a big and virile novel with the lyallties that make "The Shepherd of the Hills" a sweet and simple story. "When a Maa's a Man" is a story of the- real heart of the life of the un fenced land of ranch and range in Northern Arizona. The spirit and mo tive of the story is best expressed, per haps, in the familiar lines of that plowboy poet so dear to the great heart of the world, "A man's a man for a' that." While the pases are crowded with the thrilling incidents that belong to the adventurous life depicted, one feels, always, beneath the surface of the stirring scenes the great primitive and enduring life forces that the men and women of this story portray, and we are made to feel and understand that there come to everyone those times when in spite of all, above all and at any cost, a man must be a man. The illustrations and decorations — about fifty in alt—arc made by the author from sketches drawn on the scenes of the story. An Old-Fashioned Boy [Kansas City Times.] Thirty-five years ago Reuben Bor land was a bobbin boy in the biggest carpet factory in the world, in Yon kers, N. V., and his pay was $S a week. Last week he was elected pres ident of the company at a salary of SIOO,OOO a year. Seven thousand persons work in this big factory. Two-thirds are men. Each one of them had just as good a chance as Borland. He had no pull. He was a poor, friendless boy. It would seem that everything was against his chances to climb to the presidency. What was the secret of his success? The dispatch announcing his election says simply: "He was a conscientious and steady worker." That's all there is to the story, But there is a good deal behind that word "conscientious." COMPANY D HAS PLENTY OF GOOD FOOD; NEEDS RECRUITS Camp Stewart, El Paso, Texas, Aug. sth, 1916. To the Editor of the Telegraph: I am writing you in the hope that I may be able to correct the impres sion that appears to be general among our friends back East; that the troops along the border are not being prop erly fed. Just to make the matter clear and that your readers may judge for themselves, I am Inclosing our menu for the period Aug. 2d to 6th In clusive and which Is the average dally ration. I wish that you would kindly publish the same in the Telegraph for I feel that those having friends In companies D and I would be very glad to know the truth concerning this matter. While enroute from Mt. Gretna to El Paso, the troops subsisted on the travel ration and to avoid the possi bility of running short, each regiment carried an ample suppk- of this ration and on our arrival at El Paso, we still had on hand enough of the travel ration to supply us on a trip as long as the one we had just ended. What remained of this ration had to be used, and until it was all con sumed the men naturally grew tired of It, but at the same time all of us were being properly fed. The officers are messing with their companies and eating of the same food; therefore, they know just what the men under them are eating and •whether it is properly cooked. Each officer pays the price of the ration into the company fund and with this money the companies are enabled to purchase eggs for making puddings, frying bread and making other dishes, besides vegetables and many other ar ticles not furnished by the Quarter master's Department are added to the menu in this way. We are now receiving the full gar rison ration and it is very well bal anced and provides a nice variety of food. The men are all very well pleased and have stood the change of climate remarkably well. We drill in the morning from 7 until 10 o'clock, then have a school in the mess tent lasting one hour and the men are then through for the day with the excep tion of retreat rollcall at 6 p. m. The afternoons are devoted to amusements and sight-seeing. Xearly every member of this com pany has already been down to the Rio Grande river to see the Inter national bridge, the large smelter Prohibition in Washington (Kansas City Star) In the campaign for prohibition in the State of Washington last year the strongest ally of the liquor dealers was the Seattle Times. That newspaper honestly believed that prohibition would blight business, and it fought it. But prohibition carried and went into effect January J. In February, two months after the 336 saloons closed in Seattle, Maj. Clarence B. Blethen, edi tor and part owner of the Seattle Times, gave an interview to The Star in which he said he had been wrong in his view of prohibition and that it had proven itself morally and econ omically beneficial to Seattle. That interview was so strongly in favor of prohibition that the liquor interests at once denied that Major Blethen ever gave it, and have been denying it ever since. But now Major Blethen comes out in his .paper, the Seattle Times, and gives the results of an investigation of prohibition made by his reporters, in which he says: "The Times admits it was wrong "when it said in the campaign that "prohibition would hurt business in "Seattle. Apparently without any im "portant Increase of population to ac "count for it the dry goods houses, "small stores, haberdasheries, shoe "stores, meat markets and groceries "have been doing a largely increased "business. "Seattle is better off without "saloons. Thousands of women and "children in Seattle have better "clothes and food than they had a "year ago, business is better all around "and it is our belief that the closing "of the saloons has directly caused "these improvements." Added to this is the statement of the superintendent of the State prison in Walla Walla thai prohibition has cut down the number of convicts to such an extent he may not have enough men to finish the Pine Canyon Road.

Seasonable Maxim: "A hit in time saves the nine." Washington Post, libemng Glljal Many stories are now being told of James Russ, the dead hotel man. whose family have catered to so many thousands of the public men of Penn sylvania. These stories have much of human interest because Mr. Russ camo up from the ranks and made a great success as a hotel manager. Perhaps none of his experiences is more inter esting than his tempting of fate one day when he was engaged in the fruit business. Years ago it was the cus tom for the fruiterers of the city to lease a car on the Reading railroad and use it in bringing here their con signments of watermelons, cantaloupes and bananas from the Philadelphia wharves. On this particular day Mr. Ruts started from Harrisburg in his car and while standing at the open door with his coat over his arm a gust of wind blew the coat down the slope of the railroad and with it all his cash for the day's purchases. Mr. Russ immediately followed it down the bank, springing out of the car without any thought of the danger. He rolled down the cinders and brought up at the bottom more or less bruised and bloody, but not seriously hurt. Climbing back to the roadway he continued his search for the miss ing cash which was wrapped in brown paper. He saw an old woman picking coal along the tracks and asking her if she had seen such a package was rejoiced to have her hand him the missing currency. He proceeded to Hummelstown and while standing on the station platform a train of gondola cars came along. He sprang into one of the coal hoppers and landed through the open bottom on the track between the rails. The engineer hap pening to look back saw the flying figure and concluded the body would be picked up in a bag. He stopped the train and they found Mr. Russ stun ned and more or less damaged, but still in the ring. He was taken to Reading, where some friends supplied him with a coat and he boarded the next train for Philadelphia. When some miles east of Reading a wreck was encountered and it proved to be the train from which he had first leaped to recover his money and the car upon which he had been riding was smashed to kindling wood. Thus it was that Mr. Russ on that day tempted fate thrice —first by jumping out of the car, second by catapulting himself through a hopper on the next train, and thirdly by riding on a train that was demolished in a wreck. Hia friends always declared that Mr. Russ would never meet a violent death and his passing away this week seems to fulfill that prophecy. » » • Perhaps the oddest of complaints to reach the Public Service commission in the large list of informal "kicks" which are continually appearing in the commission's mail bag came last night in the form of objection of a Snyder county farmer to the effort of a toll gatherer on a Sunbury bridge to make him take a ticket instead of a nickel. The farmer drove to th« Northumberland county town with a load of wheat and was given twenty cents' worth of bridge tickets as part of his pay. The return trip he tendered a quarter as toll and the gateman of fered him a five cent ticket instead of the coin. In another ease about failure to supply water the Lewistown and Reedsville Water company says that the home of Charles Walter, complain ant. is located higher than its reservoir and it cannot supply the place. Notwithstanding the fact that tha State of Pennsylvania has an income averaging $500,000 a day for the last week it is unable to meet the demands for cash and some of the departments of the State government, notably the highway department, are awaiting money. The highway department, which is now required to do its maxi mum, is getting about two-thirds of the monev needed. State Treasurer Robert K.- Young Is now cogitating how to meet the demands of hospitals and charities and at the same time bo able to meet the semimonthly pay roll. * * * An interesting note regarding the Pennsylvania artillery organizations, formed or to be formed, is contained in a dispatch from one of the men at El Paso.He says that when the threo regiments are organized and equipped they would make an artillery train fif teen miles long if moving in singio file. It would have over 3,000 horses. One battery would about fill the Mar ket street bridge, including its wagons and equipment. The three regiments will contain eighteen batteries. They are exclusive of machine guns. » • • The approval of an agreement be tween the Pennsylvania railroad and some boroughs along the Ohio beyond Pittsburgh has something of interest for people here. It is the intention to use the railroad bed. which is close to the river for a road. The railroad will straighten its line and abolish all grade crossings for a considerable distance. Then a boulevard will be built along the Ohio and connect with the Wil liam Penn highway.
