CHARITY REPORT
SHOWS GOOD WORK
Harrisburg Benevolent Asso
ciation Has Successful Year;
Summer Garden Feature
The annual report of the Harrisburg
Benevolent Association for the year
ending October 31, is being distributed
in printed form to members and sub
scribers to the fund. This association
which was organized in 1879 and is
the legatee of tho John C. Brua fund
of SI,OOO, and one-tenth of the A. R.
Shellenberger fund, *has been doing
good work among tho worthy poor.
Tho executors of the estate of Mrs.
Sarah J. Haly also makes largo con
tributions annually. Other contribu
tors include private citizens, churches
and local organizations. For the past
eight years the Associated Aid So
cieties and predecessors have acted as
agent for the Harrisburg Benevolent
Association. The directors are;
President, G. W. Relly; vice-presi
dent, Mrs. L. A. Forney; secretary,
Donald McCormick; treasurer, C. A.
Kunkel; John S. Spicer, H. B. Mc-
Cormick, Miss R. Pollock, W. A. Zoll
inger, H. C. Demmlng, Mrs. W. E.
Bailey, W. M. Donaldson, John Oens
lager, Jr., and Mrs. M. W. Jacobs.
Summer Gardens
An added feature that has been a
success and which is under the di
rection of John P. Guyer Is the sum
mer garden proposition. During last
summer 140 families made use of 144
lots. They have grown crops of vege
tables for their own use, in most in
stances and several report having sold
j Products. Gardens were under
daily inspection of John L. Price and
Leroy Howard. Tho expenses of the
gardens totalled $444.39, and the esti-
M Ann value of the crops raised is
$3,000. Mr. Guyer reports that social
work among the garden workers this
season was limited, due almost en
tirely to tho increased prosperity the
country is enjoying. As in the other
season the plan of meeting workers
as persons interested in garden work,
instead of almsgiver and receivers,
was followed.
Contributing to the success of the
work were O. M. Copelin, C. W. Lvnch,
William Jennings and James McCor
mick, who gave free use of land; John
Yates and Miss Rachael F. Staples,
social service work.

Have you ever envied the boyish
type of girl who can don a severe
sweater, put her hands in her pockets
and look altogether charming? Per
haps you are that type of girl—but
whatever your type, you will find at
Astrich's, Fourth and Market streets,
all tho different kinds of sweaters
which help femininity to achieve that
''altogether charming" appearance, for
besides the severe type of sport's
sweater they offer many more femi
nine styles, belted and semlfltted mod
els, in delightful colorings, as well as
the beautiful black and white, and
purplo shades for older people—for,
of course, these days everyone wears
sweaters.
LIKE A ROLLING SNOWBALL
"Nothing succeeds like success," and
it seems that enthusiasm for the
"Overcoat Fair" at Doutrich's, 304
Market street, has grown like a big
snowball pounding down a hill, for
every man who secured one of the
splendid values in Doutrich overcoats
at sls, 18, S2O and $25 must have told
his friends and they are thronging to
the "Live Store" in such numbers that
even the extra large force of salesmen
is unable to serve them fast enough.
However, no one seems to mind wait
ing his turn, for each customer, when
his turn comes, is sure of capable and
courteous attention, and, best of all,
he will secure one of the overcoats
that have made this fair so great a
success.
WHAT CAN* BE BOUGHT FOR 25c
The store of inexpensive gifts would
be a Rood name for the Golden Seal

such as the little week-end boxes of

they show many more expensive ar

grades of perfume, manicure sets, etc.,
—but the shopper who has many gifts
to buy, with a limited sum, will find
much to help her at this store! in gifts
for men, women nnd children.
