O brothers! are ye asking how The hills of happiness to flnclT Then know they tie beyond the vow— "God helping me, 1 will be kind." — NIXON "WATERMAN. NEW STRAIN* ON" THE HIGHWAYS THE songestion of railroad traf fic which last year caused the automobile manufacturers of the Middle West to hit upon the plan of sending cars for eastern delivery across this State by tho highways, and which also served the excellent purpose of "shaking down" new ma chines. has brought about another movement over the hills and valleys and mountains of Pennsylvania which threatens to have serious consequences. It may mean a com plete change in the State's policy of highway construction and mainte nance. It may also be the commence ment of a new era of motor-borne traffic and aid in solving the trans portation question. The great motor truck building factories of the West have started to the seaboard the advance guard of a multitude of cars which are to help make the world safe for the plain people and where pairs are moving now there will be dozens in a few months; then scores; then hun dreds. The strain of this motor traf fic on some of the jnain traveled highways of Pennsylvania the last few months has been so tremendous that the roads are commencing to show the effects. Highways which stood up under the increasing vol ume of pneumatic-tired pleasure au tomobiles, thought the last word in such traffic a few years ago. have been subjected to a movement of solid-tired vehicles which has made Imperative immediate and extensive repairs and made a new form of construction the problem. It is fine to see Pennsylvania the great highway for traffic of huge motor trucks, with the endless possi bilities of such movements In times of peace, but it brinse with It obli gations of maintenance. And, it may be added, the lesson of the transitory character of what we deem perfect to-day is placed right before us. It 1s a far cry from the Conestoga wagon to the giant army truck, but no farther than from the mogul lo comotive to the aerial freight car rier. THE FIRE NEXT DOOR STATE fIRE MARSHAL G. CHAL PORT, who is putting a lot of home-grown, hard com mon 4 sense Into his crusade for the elimination of fire hazards, makes the suggestion that every person take care of his property Just as though he expected a fire next door. The old proverb about an ounce of prevention has been rather forcibly borne In upon us Harrlsburgers the last few weeks. We have had .two serious fires and some smaller ones. Firo has eaten up many dollars, laired business enterprises and caused much inconvenience. From what Is said every now and then there are some places in Harrisburg which need to be taken out of the extra hazardous fire risk class. Hence, it would appear that the time for repeating of phrases Is past and observance of some of Marshal Port's pertinent suggestions Is essen tial. The marshal says that cleanliness Is next to safety and makes the trite suggestion that a dally Inspection of premises should be made hy the owner, or the boss, or the foreman, (r whoever is in charge. "Don't be.in the unprepared class. Make fire pre vention a part of your business" are tome cf the ideas he advances. Harrisburg has been suffering from high Are Insurance rates. It has been slow in restricting the us® of combustible materials In building apd It was not until a year or so ago 'that It decided to replace Its horse drawn fire apparatus. Now the city has a general building ordinance; It has eighty miles of paved street, of fering means of rapid movement; it has a completely motorized fire de partment of some two down pieces with notable mobility; it has im proved Its water system and It has good fire fighting material In its companies.

If It does that Are Insurance rittes will come down. If there Is anything under the shining heavens that will make underwriters reduce rates. A REAL ARBOR DAY FT! HE Idea of planting * troe for each of the governors of Penn sylvania, 'province and State, on the morning of Arbor Day as the formal commencement of the beautl flcation of Capitol Park and the landscaping of the extension, will not only give that day an Importance which It must be confessed it has been lacking lately, but will be an event In the history of Harrisburg. Capitol Park, when finished In ac cordance with the plans submitted by Arnold W. Brunner and Warren H. Manning to Governor Brumbaugh and his associates on the Board of Public Grounds and Buildings, will ultimately be the park center of Harrisburg and the Capital City should so adorn herself In future that the splendid State House may be the place where all Pennsylvania roads converge and the central point of a Joint city and State park sys tem. Changes in streets, creation of circles, parking of far away spots that new perspective may be ob tained. restriction of buildings and tho reaching out of the municipal parkways to the mountain and over ths Susquehanna are some of the things which will come in years in fulfillment of these designs. Governor Brumbaugh's plan of havini; a tree named for each of the administrators of Pennsylvania from the days of the royal grant to William Penn and the heads of the departments of the government of the Commonwealth participating In the ceremonies will make the stirt of this wonderful program some thing In which the whole State can take an interest and stimulate in the far corners of the sixty-seven comi ties the planting of trees for thfe enhancement of cities and boroughs, school yards and lawns, and above all for the furtherance of that con servation - which must come if Penn's colony is to meet its destiny as the homa of millions of people dwelling in freedom and peaeo. Harrisburg should unite with the State in the program suggested for tho autumnal Arbor Day, not only to show Its appreciation of what the State plans, but to emphasize Its in tertion to do Its share. FOLLOW SIGEL'S STANDARD IT was General Franz Sigel, fa mous exile from the Germany he tried to free In 1848 and hero of countless battles in the Civil War, who wrote as early as 1897; Germany will survive the storms of another century—great. questions Involving its domestic and foreign policies, its social and economic conditions, its existing militarism, the status of its com mon people—these must be set tled; they will and can not be avoided by foreign operations, by new burd'-ns imposed on the people, nor by the mere Ipse dixit of power. Clearly General Sigel foresaw the tendency of the German ruling pow er, but he had confidence enough In the innate intelligence and stamina of the people to predict that they would weather the storms and come out their own rulers. The sturdy old champion of pop ular liberties must also have had a glimpse of some such circum stances as those .which now prevail, for in his last public address, spoken in German to German-Americans, he said: Politically, I am an American and nothing else; but I am proud to be a German. 1 would consider myself less than a man were I to forget the tremendous sacri fices made by the immigrant Ger mans in defense of their new Fatherland. Shall this blood have flowed in vain? Shall we now at tack this America to which we gave all we had to give? This country is our country; our in terests are Its Interests; here we are; here will our descendants bo; here we shall stay. Union, now and forever. Great words of a great man! and where Is the German-American whoi cannot follow the standards of heroic Fran* Sigel? SHORT WEIGHT Mayor bowman is supporting heartily the effort® of the po lice and the sealer of weights and measures to break up the short weight and short measure practice In Harrisburg. Selling short Is bad enough at any time, but when prices are as high as they are at present the evil is multiplied. Take the Mayor's advice. Look closely to your purchases. Weigh them yourself when In doubt at home If bought from an itinerant merchant and on the public scales provided for the purpose If at mar ket. Through the efforts of Sealers Boy er and Reel carefully tested standard scales have been placed In the market houses for tho free use of those who desire to weigh tfielr purchases. If you do not desire to prosecute, weighing your purchases, at least, would enable you to keep away from dishonest dealers. The honest Mier chant does not feel hurt If you test his weights, for he knows that by so doing you will avoid In future his unscrupulous rival and thus In the long run he will be the gainer. felUic* Ck By the Ex-Committeeman The manner In which various men very much In the Democratto ma chine limelight from time to time are devoting ftiemselves to govern ment jobs is commencing va arouse suspicions that they are developing ambitious beyond mere state honors ar.d that the next gubernatorial cam palKn In Pennsylvania may not be made by the headllners of to-day at Washington but be left to A. Mitchell Palmer In case that Sec- of Labor William B. Wilson refuses to be sacrificed. Appointment of Vance C. McCor mick, the national chairman, to the chairmanship of the War Trade Board, is believed to be more to his liking* than running far office and the fact that Joseph M. GulTey, act ing State Democratic Chairman, lias become so absorbed In his duties as petroleum administrator as to cause him to delegate powers in this campaign and to indicate refusal to accept a chairmanship next year, means that he is going to be a. con tender for senatorial or othor high honors. Secretary of Labor Wilson is said to realize that he has his hands full to keep things running smoothly the next yejir or two and to be reluctant to lead a forlorn hope. That leaves Palmer, who is al ways ready for the limelight or to make a speech. —According to the Pittsburgh Post, one of the real Democratic beacons of Pennsylvania, Guffey, who is also chairman of the Alle gheny division and county commit tees, "has appointed a committee of five prominent members of the party to direct the fall campaign, as his duties as national oil and gas ad ministrator will require much pf his time in Washington. The members of the committee are B. B. McGin nis, assistant United States attorney; Ralph E. Smith, former president of the Northside Democratic Club; James Houlahen ot Mlllvale, M. B. Donnelly, chairman of tho Fifth Ward, and John T. Ferrick, chair man of the Nineteenth Ward. All tlie members have been active In the Democratic organization for years and they are preparing to wage an aggressive campaign for the party nominees and Democrats running on the nonpartisan ticket." the Philadelphia Town Meeting Party nomination for the office of Register of Wills, Walter George Smith last night declared that the citizens of this city will be false to their pledge to the President of the United States to give him whole hearted support in the war to make the world safe for democracy, if they permit the fountain head of dem ocracy -to be corrupted at home. Either the citizens of Philadelphia will shako themselves clear of the unscrupulous men who are respon sible for the misgovernment under which we are now living." wrote Mr. Smith, "or life, liberty and property will be at risk whenever opposition is made a tyrannous machine. Mr. Smith stated that he had not ex pected to be drawn into politics at this crisis and only accepted the nomination as a matter of duty." —The Philadelphia Inquirer to- j day says: "Charles L. SlcKeehan, | Robert S. Bright and Max Hersberg, comprising the Platform Committee, have completed their draft of planks, and confidently expect that the plac. ing of it before the public to-day will give to every voter convincing concrete argument why both duty and self-interest, as well as the honor and future safety of his city, demand that he give his full and ac tive support to the Town Meeting nominees." —Judge Bonniwell's demand that the Town Meeting Committee name some one in place of District At torney Rotan is to be passed up. The committee will no nothing of the kind. The Philadelphia Record, one of Bonniwell's backers in his lights, commends Rotan to-day. —Highway Commissioner O'Neil continues to be boomed for Gover nor In western counties, but he Is not talking very much about it. —The Pittsburgh mayoralty cam paign IS heating up and it is said that some of the funniest lineups known in years have occurred. Dr. J. P. Kerr Is said to" have enlisted with Babcock and some of Bab cock's old supporters have gone to Magee. O'Neil's attitude is one of much interest. —lt looks as though the Lacka wanna, Northampton and Lehigh saloon lists would lie cut down lie cause of governmqpt regulation. —Reading Socialists held a meet ing to boom their candidates for council and dispatches say that only red flags were to be seen. —"Reports of far-reaching de velopments in the Philadelphia's political situation this week, in which Senator Penrose is to take a lead ing part, following a conference with lieutenants in Philadelphia, were widely discussed at the shore to-day, in consequence of the presence here of many of the political chieftains," says the Philadelphia Ledger. —"Why, the pyrotechnics have just begun," he exclaimed. "We haven't started our side of the-show yet. I promise you now that there will be plenty of fireworks when we have our inning," said Mayor Smith of Philadelphia yesterday, when oaked about the Fifth .Ward case by a Ledger reporter. "There are two sides to every story," he added gravely. "We have a story to tell and we are going to tell it when the time comes." "Will it be exciting?" "It will be exactly that; 'exciting' is the word " said the Ma^or. Congressman Vare did not want to talk about the Fifth Ward "busi ness." "I've kept out of the dis cussion; you probably have noticed that," he said. "You know I've been attending strictly to business in A HANDY MAN AROUND THE CAR BY BRIGGS rf I CAKJ'T 3TAt*-T\ • ISN'T IT FORTUNATE"!

TRUCK BAKER TOLD OF While at the "War Meeting" of the Chambers of Commerce In Har risburg, Secretary of War Newton D. ; Baker paid his respects to the United j States military truck, Class B, which was admired by thousands while passing through this city on Satur day, on its way to Washington. 'Hie huge standardized truck was designated by Mr. Baker as an ac complishment second in importance only to the Liberty aviation motor. "Methods of fighting have under gone a decided change during *he centuries," said Secretary Bakqr. "Comparatively few persons engaged in war when men (pught on camels and elephants. Then came the days of stage coaches, the wood burning engines, and now the entire world wait* with baited breath the an nouncement of a single detail." Automobiles saved Paris at the battle of the Marne, said the Sec retary of War. and a standardized motor truck will play a part of tho utmost Importance In France. In stead of waiting for parts and sup plies that are frequently Inacces sible, two damaged trucks may be quickly converted Into one perfect machine. The newest "war machine consists of less than 7.600 parts. At this time, the allied forces In France are re quired to have on hand almost 2,- 000,000 parts to keep the trucks now In use there in repair. Ten thousand trucks of thu new type will be ready for the government by th.e middle of | next year.

Our Enemies WHAT WE ARE FIGHTING AGAINST Dully Articles During the Liberty I.onn CninpnlKii By NEWELL DWIGHT HILLIS > No. 1. ' THIS war began in 1892, In a meeting held In the Palace at .Pottsdam. The Kaiser at-that time placed In the hands of his ad visers a document marked* "secret and confidential." The first line held these words: "The Pan-German Em pire." The second line read: "From. Hamburg and the North Sea to the Persian Gulf." The third line was: "Our Immediate Goal by 1915 Is the Conquest of 250,000,000 of People." The fourth line read: "Our Ultimate Goal Is the Germanization of all the Nations." I On the second page there was an extract from the Kaiser's speech. "From my childhood I have been un der the influence of five men—Alex ander, Julius Caesar, Theodorlc the Second, Frederick the Great, and Napoleon. These five men dreamed their dreams of a world empire— they failed. I, too, have a dream of a world empire—l shall succeed." Two maps prepared by the Kaiser, for his associates, set forth clearly the ultimate goal to be won by his military machine. The first map wns called, "The Roman Empire— Caesar Augustus, Emperor." Then are spread out the countries con quered: Carthage, subdued and her capital a county seat town reporting to Rome; Egypt and Palestine con quered. while Alexandria and Jeru salem report to the Emperor. Eplie sus and Athens are conquered and are county-seat towns ujider the Emperor's heel. Having used the Roman Empire as his standard, the Kaiser publishes the World Map for 1920. At the top of the map were these words: "The Pan-German Empire." Beneath you read": "Kaiser Wilhelm 11, Emperor." Across the state of France are the words, "Germania," for Paris Is a county-seat town. Upon Great Brit ain Is written, "Germania" for Lon don is a county-seat town. . Seven years after this was pub>- lished, the German admiral told the hero of Manila Bay just what was to RUN YOUR OWN FURNACE In the November American Maga zine you will ftnd an article which will help you to cut down your coal bill. It was written by the editor of | a coal magazille, and he says: "About the use of coal of different sizes and grades: I use the size of coal Indicated by the draft. The draft in house chimneys differs. If I am fortunate enough to have a very strong draft, which is uncom mon, I slow It down by using, say, i. range size of anthracite, and fill the chinks between the pieces with either chestnut or pea coal. The latter I use only when the draft Is j quite strong. ; "If the draft Is fair only, I use I range alone. If It Is quite weak, I use egg coal alone. "In using coke, I mix egg and number one nut as being equivalent to using anthracite range and chest nut. Under no circumstances would I advise the use of pea coke. It makes clinkers, except In flurnaces which have magazine feeds. ' "By magazine feed I mean the same kind of an arrangement as is used In the baseburner stoves. If the draft Is strong enough to sug gest the use of pea coke, I mix a little Pocahontas mine-run coal with the coke. This is an excellent mix ture." OPPOSED TO ROYALTY For three weeks he had borne all the horrors of the annual cleaning without a murmur. Then his pa tience gave way. "And you," sobbed his wife, "you used to tall me I was your queen." "Yes," he said, with a wild glare In his eyes, "but when a man finds his queen has used his best tobacco jar for pale oak vanish and his meerschaum pipe tor a tack hammer h begins to grasp the advantages of a republic." —London Tlt-Blts. GREAT"DAY OF LORD The great dry of the Lord Is near, It is near, and hasteth greatly, even the voice of the day of the Lord: the mighty man shall cry there bit terly. That day is a day of wrath.— Zephaniah 1, 14 and 15. happen concerning this war. He | bade Admiral Dewey remember the i Kaiser was preparing to conquer 1 France, with the real purpose of de ( stroying England, and then proposed to seize Canada and the United i States. "Germany will after that dispose of South America and tho Monroe Doctrine as we think best." These facts throw .a of light upon the Kaiser's statement to Am bassador Gerard, "When this war is finished, I will not stand any non sense from the United States." Now that three years of war have been completed, we see the Kaiser missed his goal by only a hair's breadth. 1917 is here and 10, the Kaiser controls 200,000,000 instead of the 250,000,000 he hoped to have conquered. By three years' war he has increased the German population from 70,000,000 to 220,000,000. He controls, directly or Indirectly, Bel glum, North France, Poland, Rou mania, Hungary, Austria, Bulgaria, Servia, Turkey, and a part of Ar menia. Having prepared for the war by a vast web of cunning, intrigue, and treachery, through hired agents distributing bribes in every capital of the globe, he is now preparing for peace and proposes a trade and com promise, tha\ will give up Belgium and North France and count the in cident closed. This means—he will give back about one-fifteenth of tlie conquered territory and people, thus retaining 140,000,000 which, with his 70,000,000 Germans, leaves the Pan- German Empire with over 200,000,- 000 of people and extending from the North Sea to within four hun dred miles of the Persian Gulf. To day, the Kaiser is spending millions through his agents, Influencing and bribing members of the press, of the Judiciary, of legislatures. As Ger many Victory means that while the rest of the world recovers from its billions of losses, Germany will strengthen her military machine and then com plete the Germanization of the whole world. GERMAN REVOLT Iri spite of the attempt by Vice Admiral Capelle and Chancellor Mlchaelis to belittle it, the mutiny In the German navy was an ominous affair. It did not involve a single small and isolated vessel subject to unusual conditions. The crews of five capital ships of the Grand Fleet were Implicated, and as Is now stated openly in the Reichstag, three members of that body were con cerned There are reports also of de fections in the army. Whatever the Immediate cause of this revolt may have been, Its signifi cance can hardly be exaggerated. Discipline is the first principle of the German war machine. Subordina tion is enforced with an iron hand and the punishments for disobedi ence are always severe. When such a rebellion can gain headway in the presence of watchfulness so keen, the ccfhcluslon must •be that the strain to which the German military machine is now subjected approaches the limit of endurance. Probably we have In this outbreak an explanation of the failure of the German navy to attack the Russian squadron in the Gulf of Riga when the Russian collapse made the enter prise most Inviting. Possibly we may thus account for the decline of the submarine campaign. It is cer tain that autocracy cannot propa gate treason and anarchy among its without feeling of the evil consequences itself. Every uprising against Prussian ism in Germany's military, political hnd industrial life is more promising of a true peace than all the dishon esties and insincerities emanating from the Foreign Office at Berlin.— New York World.

The basic IndiHH try of nil appears to have been speed* ed by the Cumberland and Dauphin County farmers as much as that ot iron, transportation or other lines which are being called upon to da their utmost In the national emer* gency. The farmers seem to have made war production their business the same as every other lino. Even at the risk of losing some of the late corn through the frost and chances or damage In other lines the farmer! are getting in big acreages of wheat wiilie rye and oats and buckwheat are being studied in connection with the soils in this section with a cars not exercised in a long time and agri. culture is being given a respectful consideration by the rest of us that lins not been noticed for a long time. The old business of farming the far mer from the political side seems to have given way to urging the farmer to farm for all he is worth and of fer's to help him get what he wants. More people have gone to fields to heku.out In harvest and in other work this summer and fall than for a long time and many a man who came from tho soil has Riven some time. The result of the enterprise of the farmers In this section Is to be seen In the numerous plowed fields and to the young wheat which is already commencing to show itself on some 'farms. In another month there will be more green to bo observed on farms that can be seen from tin Capitol dome than for a lonsc time. It seems as though every farmer wai adding to his wheat acreage in this section, although, as some say, they are looking to Providence to find the hands to help care for It and get It in next year. The suggestion of the National Government thai Pennsylvania add 150,000 acres to what it devotes to wheat is going to meet with hearty support in this sec. tlon if the signs are read aright. This may be a grent railroad and iron and steel center, but there are plenty of indications that it is going to got back some of that reputation as the middle of a notable farming.district with rich farms and well to do far. mers which it had before the last great war. From conversations with the far ■ mers there are two problems which L confront them. One is labor and the , other is the temptation to sell their horses and cattle. It is a case ol scramble to get hands and It Is a matter of strong wills in the othel proposition. One of tho chief com > plaints at the State Employment I>u. 1 ren,u here is that men to work in fields are hard to get and more wo men have been seen doing men's ■ worlf on farms this summer and fall than known for a long time. Dau ( phin and Cumberland and Perry wo - men have been long admired as good farmers, but they are certainly do. ing their share this year. This shar< ir greater because of the lack of men who have been attracted to Harris burg and Steelton and other placet ' by the high wages 6f manufactur ing and the railroad jobs open ol drafted. Some farmers have turned to foreign labor to help out' but th< , wages in the mills and in other linej , are too much of an attraction. Col ored labor has been the salvation ol more than one farmer this summer. As to the prices offered for livestock . farmers attending the Verbeke and , Chestnut §treet markets say that a J. man with a couple of pairs of fin • mules gets a coupl® of offers a weeli | and each time the price goes up . Horses are almost as much in de mand, but the mule's army record puts the animal "without pride ol ancestry or hope of posterity" int< the premium class. Cattle prices havi gone away up too and if the farnien of 'this part of Pennsylvania heed Lieutenant Governor Frank B. Mc- Clain they will raise cattle and maki money. Mr. McClain, who knowi the livestock business as he knowi the Keystone State resources and iti people, is authority for the declara tion that, the country is short of cat tle and that Pennsylvanians are los ing an excellent chance to get bad a business that used to mean mucl money. Charles E. Carothers, dep. uty secretary of agriculture, wh< comes from Washington Co'untJ where sheep raisjng means money says that there Is much land avail able in tills section for sheep raising and that when the new dog licenst code goes into effect and the dosi are all licensed and penned up oi the farms as watch dogs, there wil be a good Investment In sheep. Th< price of wool has gone up and th< man who had tried to buy muttol knows what it costs. Years ago then were many sheep raised in tliii county, but the Democratic wool tariff in -the nineties put an awful crimp in the business. • • • County officials familiar with own. ersliip and character of land in th< county figure out that there are som< 2,500 farms in Dauphin County, pos sibly more. There were 2,800 flvi years ago, but a number have been cut ftp into real estate operationl near this city and Steelton and rail road and industrial developments have wiped others from the agricul tural list. Cumberland County is es. timated to have between 3,600 and 3,700 farms. Some of them hav been problems to owners or tenants because of the lack of labor and th prices of everything needed about a farm from fertilizer to oil.
