Paxton Company Issues Call to Property Owners Members of the Paxton Fire Com pany have issued the following appeal to the public: "The Paxton company is desirous f retaining the engine that has served the lower and central sections of the tity.so long and well. They are cir culating petitions praying council not to make the change urged by Commis lioner Gross.

Shortly there will be three companies without homes in Harrisburg. The Paxton will make a fourth. Note the new business firms In the district now served by the Pax ton. Only one firm ot" all those in the district has declined to sign. Men of the central business section, we can prove to you that the shortest route nd the quickest service for you in case of fire is from the Paxton engine house. Sign our petitions and help protect your own property." Doivt wait for to heal your skin.— "Oh it will get well anyhow 1" you say ? Perhaps it will, ana perhaps it won't.

Office, 1 North Third Yards, Tenth and State In Selecting Lumber it is always well to se cure the advice of the man who sells lumber. The lumber dealer knows the physical prop erties of the various woods and is in position to offer expert advice as to what kind should be given preference. Certain woods are well suited for use indoors and are wholly unfit where exposed to the weather. Other woods give good service out of doors but should be used where strength is a factor. Few people realize that there are many grades of lumber and they use an expensive grade where a cheaper kind will prob ably do beter. United Ice & Coal Co.

WEDNESDAY EVENING, WOULD REPRESENT EVERY CITY TOD Beidleman Working Hard to Get Single Council Bill Through In view of the very general dissatis faction regarding the commission form of government., Senator Beidleman is going to do his utmost to secure the enactment of his bill providing for a single council of one representative from each ward in cities, of the third class. He says many persons have spoken to him in advocacy of such a change and he feels that a single coun cil thus constituted would overcome in a large measure the unsatisfactory re sults of the present plan. He believes also that the mayor should have the power to veto and that public interest in municipal ad ministration would follow the organi zation of a council along the lines pro posed in the measure which he has introduced. It is quite certain, he thinks, that the people of Harrisburg will hail with real pleasure almost any change from the present demoralized and chaotic scheme of government. "The commission form simply in duces a lot of men to run for the sal ary instead of the service which they can render the city," said a prominent citizen to-day. These members of council elected for two years find themselves in the very nature of the case thrown into a campaign for re election almost as soon as they take office, which is an unfortunate sequel of the commission scheme. Senator Beidleman said to-day he would do everything in his power to push along the bill, providing for a single council and while it will un doubtedly meet hard sledding in some quarters, it will have support in oth ers. The Senator is not impressed with the suggestion that it might be well to allow the commission scheme to have a further trial before throw ing it into the discard.

ROTARY CLUB WILL BOOST BOY SCOUTS Preliminary Plans For Cam paign Outlined; Many Or ganizations Interested Preliminary plans for the Boy Scout campaign were outlined by President Howard C. Fry at a meeting of tlie Rotary Club at Cotterel's store on Market Square last evening. The club has guaranteed the expenses of the campaign by which it is hoped to raise at least $12,000 to put the Scout movement on a firm financial basis in Harrisburg for the next three years. Headquarters will be established at 24 North Third street and will be in charge of Buddy, National Field Commissioner of the Boy Scouts of America, and one of the best-known workers among boys in the United States. The Rotary Club will not be the only society interested in the cam paign. It has simply guaranteed pay ment of all expenses, but many other organizations already have signified their intention of assisting and there is every indication that the movement will be entirely successful. George W. Reily will be the treasurer. President Fry explained that there is now no distinctly boy work being done in Harrisburg, the seven Scout troops of the city now operating to a largo degree independently of each other. The plan is to unite the move ment under one executive and to draw as many boys as possible into the uplifting influences of the Scout organizations. He said he felt the Ro tary Club could interest itself in no better work. The Idea of the campaign is that if the Scouts are firmly established for three years, there never will be any question as to the permanency of the organization here. The addresses of the evening were made by D. W. Cotterel and Ernest Eppley, who is in charge of the metal cabinet section of the Cotterel store. Mr. Eppley explained at length the process of construction and the advan tages of this means of safeguarding business papers and documents.

Gold Mining Industry Not Affected by War Capetown, April le.—The gold min ing industry is almost the only one which has enjoyed freedom from in terruption owing to the war. This is accounted for in a summary pre pared by the Transvaal Chamber of Commerce as due to "the national im portance and the essential nature of the industry both through the neces sity of its products to the Imperial Government and the fact that its dis continuance would mean a chaotic condition of affairs in South Africa." Since the beginning of the war. South Africa has produced 100,000,- 000 pounds sterling in gold. Twenty per cent, of the white employes have voluntarily gone on active service, and the extra financial burdens imposed by the war on the gold mining in dustry are estimated at 3,000,000 pounds a year. Dividends last year were about 1,000,000 pounds less than in 1914. although the production was 4,000,000 pounds sterling greater. Officers Elected by This District at S. S.

The number of strikers in Berlin is placed in even the semi-official report at 126,000, and is distributed, according to the Tage blatt, through machine works, some electrical establishments and part of the munition plants. The latter statement is interesting in view of a dispatch •from the Official News Bureau denying that the munition factories were affect ed. The Tageblatt says, however, that the great munition industry at Spandau has not been involved. Reports in all the Berlin newspapers which have arrived here agree that the demonstrators were usually orderly, al though roughs resorted TO occasional window breaking in the Unter Den Lin den, the Frledrlch and Leipsic Strasses and other central thoroughfares. Sol diers. as well as police, were used in cordons thrown about the Cnter Den Linden and the Imperial Castle. Great crowds gathered in the neigh borhood of the castle during the day and the temper of the crowd, particu larly the women, is described as very Working Under a Continual Strain?
