usual interest. In addition to the in

land, at the time of the Lusitania
and subsequent disasters, will be
present He will deliver a talk illus
trated with photographs taken by
himself after the business session.
Mr. Frost has talked before some of
the more important Chamber of
Commerces in the country on this
subject and has created a sensation.
President Tracy announces that
the engagement of Mr. Frost has
been closed. He is traveling under
the auspices of the United States ,jov
ernment.

as possible given to the address of
the former consul, it is understood

place sales of the Second Liberty
Loan Hond greatly above the quota
assigned to this city.
Towns Will Couie Through
The allied towns did not succeed
In placing their quota during the
three big days, but salesmen are
still at work. E. R. Milier. who has
given so freely of his efforts to make
the drive in the district outside of
Harrisburg a success, is confident
that the allied towns will reach the
required total. Cumberland county,
it is reported, has already passed
her quota, and public-spirited men
in other sections of the district will
not permit their counties to iag.
Expect Oversubscription
William Jennings, chairman of the
campaign committee, stated last
night that the city would pass the
four million goal by $1,000,000. 11
Is now conceded that Chairman Jen
nings' estimate is too conservative.
In order that everyone may have
an opportunity to get to Harrisburg
banks to-night and to-morrow, the
banking institutions of the city will
remain open until 9 o'clock.
In charge of the country district
for the last several weeks has been
E R. Miller, of Camp Hill, who In
ordinary times is a bondsalesman
for Liggett & Drexel. New York. Mr.
Miller has "had his work cut out for
him" since the campaign opened,
but has come through in a very fine
manner. Mr. Miller's job was one of
the really strenuous ones about
headquarters.
Chairman Donald McCormick, in
charge of the entire Harrisburg dis
trict. has done very little since the
middle of September except Liberty
Loan work. Mr. McCormick person
ally directed the activities in a large
sick headache, dullness, feverishness,
sore throat, sneezing, soreness and
stiffness.
"Pape's Cold Compound" is th®
quickest, surest relief known and
cost"- only a few cents at drug stores.
It acts without assistance, tastes nice,
and causes no inconvenience. Don't
accept a substitute. Insist on
"Papes"—nothing else.

This is the showing made by the city of Harrisburg, the allied towns of Dauphin, Cumber
land, Perry and Juniata counties, the Pennsylvania Railroad Campaign and the'executive com
mittee during the three days of the Second Liberty Loan Campaign.
In Harrisburg. 9478 subscriptions, amounting to $3,611,400 were secured by salesmen, inde

credit at the close of the three day drive was $4,008,650.
number of individual districts. He
managed to put in two working days
each week-day and to-day was feel
ing tired, but satisfied. This morn
ing at 6 o'clock he went up to Juni
ata county, where he put in a hard
day's work.
Victor Locoq, 2d, a bond salesman
residing at 12 5 Pine stret, was office
director during the campaign and
contributed liberally of his time and
talents to make the drive a success.
Much of the success of the cam
paign must be attributed to Melville
H. James, who had charge of the
publicity work. Mr. James is secre
tary of the William Penn Highway
Association, and is a trained news
paperman of unusual ability. Ho
prepared the bulk of the advance
mdtter and wrote much of the dis
play advertising used in Harrisburg
newspapers. He also provided news
papers in the allied towns with
"dope" and during his spare mo
ments secured photographs which
helped out a little to interest pros
pective bond purchasers in the nierits
of the cause.
1). P. & S.'s Big Subscription
How the merchants of Harrisburg
responded to the call for subscrip
tions is well illustrated by the great
contribution of the firm of Dives.
Pomeroy & Stewart, which, through
William H. Bennethum. put $200,-
000 into Liberty Bonds. The an
nouncement oi this good news pro
vided one of the dramatic moments
at th closing luncheon of the bond
campaign yesterday and it was the
addition of this sum to the grand to
tal that put the campaigners within
striking distance of the goal of *4,.
000,000 and enabled the committee
men to get together and make up the
$202,000 required to "go over the
top." The subscription wos of a sen
sationall large character and its an
nouncement was made at a psycho
logical moment, topping off success
fully the greatest patriotic drive in
the history of the city.
Guests and employes of the Senate
Hotel bought bonds worth $3,400
yesterday. A salesman, J. L. Kend
rick, of New oTrk, happened to be
in the house and at the suggestion
of Arthur Hollis, manager of the
hotel, interviewed the prospects. He
did not meet with a single refusal.
Central Raises $12,500
Twelve thousand five hundred dol
lars in bonds has been subscribed by
one hundred and seven pupils and
teachers at Central High school.
Cobblers Buy
Peter Magaro, captain of team No.
3, division one, went out with lus
men this morning to raise the
amount of $2,500 which the team
had subscribed yesterday. Xpstead
of Belling bonds worth $2.£00, thev
secured Just double that amount.
Mr. Magaro's team had some In -
teresting experiences. In Dcw'oerry
HARRISBURG TELEGRAPH
alley they found a shoe repair rliop
in which six Italians are employed.
They sold the six cobblers nine
bonds.
A Chinese cook was npproached
by Mr. Magaro. but he didn't care
to buy. "Just wait until Kaiser Bill
comes over here," remarked the
salesman. "You won't be cooking
then. You'll get down and dig."
"All light." responded the Celestial,
"me take bond."
Congressman Henry VV. Watson, of
the Bucks-Montgomery district, was
In Harrisburg to-day. Mr. Watson,
who has been in. the western coun
ties of the State making liberty loan
speeches, stopped off here enrouto
by motorcar to his home at Lang
hbrne. He was at the Capital this
| morning, where he was greeted by
SCORE FARMERS WHO "
DO NO TBUY BONDS
[Continued from First Page.]
than a million contributed In the
county outside of Harrisburg, only
a small portion of it can be credited
the farmers.
"Have we been petting the farmer
too long? He objects to going to war,
he kicks on his taxes, he won't buy
bonds and he holds back his produce
for higher prices. No other class of
n\en has been favored as has been
the farmer. For years we have been
nursing him along. Now when the
country reaches a crisis he is the
worst holdback we have. The people
in the small towns and the cities are
'holding up their end." On a street
car last night I saw eleven men from
the Steelton plant Every one of
those men wore a button showing
that he had bought a bond. Go to
market to-morrow morning, find the
farmers and see how many buttons
there are. I have had no opportunity
of analyzing the returns from Perry
and Cumberland counties, but I am
afraid that the townships there are
lagging behind, as they are in Dau
phin.
"It is a new thing for the farmer
to receive criticism for unpatriotic
conduct and very likely much of it
ought to be modified for purposes of
fairness, but the farmers as a class
have exposed themselves to reproach
—and'reproach Is growing bitter.
Farming interests constitute a caste
which has been given exemption
from some obligations imposed on
citizenship generally. The 'farmer
vote' has assumed sacrosanct import
ance. The idea rirevails that this vote,
which may any year be blindly en
raged by weather conditions, may not
with safety be vexed by legislation
to which the country generally sub-
his friends and inspected the build
ins: under the guidance of W. Harry
Baker. Congressman Watson pre
dicted that Pennsylvania would over
subscribe for Its quota of liberty
bonds.
There Is much good feeling at the
plant of the Harrisburg Pipe and
Pipe Bending Company where the
employes are rejoicing over the fact
that they were able to do so much In
boosting the Second Liberty Loan.
They are particularly happy over
beating the Pennsylvania Railroad
employes, who contributed a total of
SBO,OOO. The Pipe Bending boys
subscribed for bonds to the amount
of $115,000. No campaign In Har
risburg ever aroused more enthu
siasm than the great drive of ihis
week.
mits. Politics has created a feudal
injustice In the land. If the farmer,
thus favored, loses a sense of re
sponsibility to the community, or
finds that the sense is dulled, it Is not
amazing. Now, in war time, critics
who base their conclusions upon in
vestigation. find him aloof, self-con
cerned, indifferent to national efforts,
and unwilling to exert himself for the
accomplishment of national pur
poses. This picture may be drawn un
fairly In the exasperation of the mo
ment, but when xou think of what
the men and women In the towns and
cities of this county—this district—
have done there are reasons for the
exasperation, and reasons which the
nation will have to consider, In times
which force liberal authorities to
consider conscription of wealth and
assuming control of industries in the
necessary national co-ordination, the
farmer caste cannot be permitted to
remain aloof from ail the processes
and, protected by exemptions, con
duct itself In opposition to national
issues."
Mr. McCormlclt agreed with Mr.
Jennings.
"It is unfortunate," said he. "that
the farmers of this district are not
more awake to the seriousness of the
situation. I have been dumbfounded
by what I have seen of their careless
inertia in such a critical time. Among
the farmers are men who are alive
and alert, but; the majority of them
are not. A glance at the figures will
prove this conclusively."
Farmers All Ready
