BRUMBAUGH FAVORS GREAT UNIVERSITY Governor Tells State Teach ers of Need of National Institution I Johnstown, Pa., Dec. 29. —Closing a tribute to the late Henry Houck, Secretary of Internal Affairs, Gov ernor Brumbaugh at the Cambria Theater last evening, saiS: "He held with me the priceless faith that all of life is not lived in the flesh, that somehow in God's lfve we shall live again. He believed in the life of a dateless day." The meeting last night was the closing public session held in connection with the State BCducational Association's annual convention. Governor Brumbaugh said yester day afternoon that Pennsylvania would not obtain an adjustment of .school finances until each commun ity appoints a committee of two or three to confer with state officials on matters of equitable assessment. He urged the funds of unclaimed estates lying in banks should be escheated to school needs, and predicted that they will be, even if the Legislature .has to pass another act. The Governor called on Pennsyl vania to practice self-sacrifice to help win the war. This state, he said, supplies sixty per cent, of the materials going into the war and "holds the destiny of this great is sue within its borders. I call upon you people of Pennsylvania to see that, as in the past, the Pennsylva nia-borne ffag shall come back from battle in honor and victory." After the war. the Governor said, students from all the world will flock to American universities, the Ger man vogue forever eliminated. He urged the establishment of a great national university at Washington, where honest, open diplomacy may be taught. "If we pay the price of blood," he said, "let us reap the rewards of generous service."

TRACTORS WILL BE SHOWN HERE New Method of Saving Labor on Farms During War Will Mobilize For Winter Show Arrangements have been complet ed for display of farm tractors In Harrisburg during the meetings of the State Board of Agriculture and allied agricultural and similar organ izations and the midwinter farm products show. The use of the trac tor has been strongly urged by fed eral and state officials as a means of cultivating fields in the shortage of labor due to the war. The ma chines to be sent here have all been in use in the state and statements as to what they have done will be made. Ten firms will exhibit. Secretary of Agriculture Charles E. Patton says that the display will be the largest of the kind ever made under one roof in the state. "The display will probably include twenty patterns and will give farmers an exceptional opportunity to see the machines. I have been urging cham bers of commerce and other organi zations to buy tractors as a means of overcoming the labor shortage. This can be done by putting the machines out on schedules as is done with threshing machines," said che Secretary. - % According to reports coming here, many tractors have been ordered for delivery in this state in the spring and thousands of acres will be plowed by them. They have been used in Lancaster, Chester, Lycom ing and other counties. Firms offering to exhibit tractors here are Frick, Huber, Case, Inter national, Emerson-Brantingham, Chase, Moline, Cleveland, Aspinwall and Bates. Efforts are now being made to find out the exact area devoted to farming for this year. In some in stances farmers were unable to car ry out plans owing to shortage of labor. The extent of the grain yield next year is going to be a matter of labor, pure and simple, say people writing here. AUDIENCE ENJOYS THRILLING PLAY "The Man Who Came Back" a Fascinating Story; Pre sented at Orpheum Real thrills without resorting to the usual appearance of detectives to find the perpetrator of a crime; an appeal ing story of what love will do, and the reformation of a dissipated son ot a wealthy stock broker brought about by love, make "The Man Who Came Back," presented at the Or pheum last night and to-day, one of the most enjoyable of recent stage plays. The play is adapted from the story by John Fleming Wilson and was written by Jules Eokert Goodman. The plot in itself is the usual story of how love triumphs over all obstacles, but is so well developed that the story has a fascinating appeal to anyone who can appreciate the unexpected turns in each succeeding act. Henry Potter, the son of a wealthy New York broker, is sent to San Fran cisco by his father, after a worthless life of dissipation. In the California city, young Potter meets the "one girl" and suggests they return to New York. His father learning of the life his son still follows in San Francisco, indirectly makes an offer to the youth to go to Shanghai. Henry refuses, but is taken there by force, only to fall lower and lower. Wandering into a "dope dive" he finds the "one girl" a victim of the drug. Together they decide to fight their way back again, are married, and finally are united at the father's home. Dorothy Bernard, as Marcelle, young Potter's wife, made a pleasing impression and was generously ap plauded, and with William Crowell, as Henry Potter, the son; J. Irving White, as Thomas Potter, the father; S. B. Hamilton, as Captain Trevelan, whose duty It was to follow Henry, are the best in the cast. Others who have leading parts are Harry Sleiht, as secretary of Thomas Potter; Levinia Shannon, as Mrs. (Jaynes, aunt of young Potter; Henry Davis, as Captain Gallon, who prac tically kidnaps Henry and takes him to Shanghai; and William Blaisdell, as Sam Shew Sing, proprietor of the "dope dive." Of the scenic effects the interior of Sing's "dive" is the most striking and has much to do with the story as the turning point In the ca reer of young Potter takes place in this resort. The closing lines of the play are written as a happy ending- of the troubles of "The Man Who Came Back," and all the story needs to make it a twentieth centurv fairv tale are the words "they lived happily ever after." MAX ROBERTSON. Fellowship Day at Derry Street U. B. Fellowship day will be observed to-morrow in the Derry Street United Brethren Church. The Rev. J. D.

SAYS AMERICANS CAN'T TKIJ, \\ Alt'S HOHItOItS Telling the large audience that Americas lack of war spirit was appalling and that a war loan sub scripttion does not make us feel the stress of war. "Jeryy" Edwards, a re turned Y. M. C. A. secretary addresed the Aldrink's association at St. An drews Episcpopal church, last night. "You don't understand that there is a war on. like the French and Bel gians understand it," he continued, and told of how when he was in the war work before America's declara tion of war, he was treated as a simple American citizen and had many trials.

Low First Cost— | Lower Upkeep I WE REO FOLK seldom talk price, save incidentally. FOR THE REO PRODUCT is not designed nor made on a price basis. WE NEVER HAVE succumbed to the temp tation to meet a price competition or to build a car to come within a pre-determined figure. OUR AMBITION has been to build the best— not the most —then set the lowest price pos sible, based on actual cost plus a small margin of profit. NEVERTHELESS, it is a fact that this 1500 pound "Reo is one of the lowest priced, high 1 speed trucks on the market. Quality and equipment considered, it is the cheapest. IN FACT YOU'LL HAVE TO PAY on the average, S4OO more, to obtain a %-ton, manu factured, truck of any reputation or that pre sumes to compete with the Reo. ! WE ARE ENABLED to produce this quality truck and to sell it lower, because of the fact that it has been standard for longer; because of our superior manufacturing facilities; and finally because of our low selling cost. THE OVER DEMAND for Reos that always has existed, results in a selling cost so low, it is the marvel and the envy of the industry. AND THIS TRUCK IS a manufactured pro duct—not assembled from unrelated units. I IT IS REO MADE THROUGHOUT, which is to say, it represents the best in materials and H workmanship. 50 PER CENT OVERSIZE in all vital parts— the Reo standard factor of safety—in axles, gears, driving shafts, bearings, frame, etc., is | your guarantee of stability and dependability. AND, FIRST COST ASIDE, we affirm there is | no other %-ton truck on earth that can show such low upkeep and operation cost year in and year out. READ THAT AGAlN—it's a broad statement. Yet we believe it to be literally true else we II would not sign the Reo name to it. FACTORY CAPACITY is the only limit to the output of the Reo models—for the demand is, and always has been, vastly greater than the supply. BUT OUR PLAN has been to make, not the most, but the best, and so we never make any more than we can make and make every Reo good. SO THE ONLY WAY to be sure of a s /4-ton Reo for reasonably early delivery, of present quality and at present price, is to place your I order now. Delay is dangerous.
