Methodist Sunday School Drive Making Progress The Methodist Sunday school drive is going better than any one could j have hoped, the committees report. Lining up absentees has been one ; of the chief features thus far, to- ! gther with reorganizing the junior! or "teen" departments. The "golden 1 memory period" of life Director Ke boch calls this age and his new pro grams and graded lessons are being adopted by every school. Another feature of the campaign is to have the great hymns of the church learned and studied. Speaking of the success in interest ing the young. Mr. Keboch said to day : • '"Teen age department work is the outstanding drive of the new day. Methodism Is pioneering the way in this drive in America. There are al ready twenty such departments or ganized and working in the central part of this state. All of the city schools and vicinity will have teen age departments or at least the scholars grouped according to ages and as soon as local equipment per mits these departments will be or ganized and run by teen-agers themselves under sympathetic and tactful adult supervision. "It will be a long i stroke toward better leadership for the period after the war when all Sunday schools awake to the fact that we learn to do by doing. Boys and girls are taught to pray; they assume the re sponsibility of leadership and run their department with marvelous skill." FOSTER'S SONGS I.IK ED MOST BY SOI.DIERS Grace Humphrey, who tells in Ev erybody's Magazine how Uncle Sam is building up a singing Army, says our soldiers will have none of the so-called patriotic song that smacks of commercialism. They used only "America," "The Star Spangled Ban ner" and the "Battle Hymn of th* Republic." "What songs do they really like? Songs that give the feeling of broth erhood and comradeship, that express endearing sentiments of their country and of their home life In that coun try. The Stephen Foster songs are perhaps the best example, and most popular. They are: 'Old Black Joe,' 'Swanee River,' 'My Old Kentucky Home.' They like 'Keep the Home Fires Burning' and "The Long, Long Trail.' 'Annie Laurie" and 'Auld Bang Syne' alternate with 'Over There' and 'Pack Up Your Troubles.' " WORKING UNDER PRESSURE "I care not how my cook makes muffins, but I must know' how her mind works," says Chesterton, or words to that effect. Translating this into modern terms it would read, "I do not care ho wmuch wheat there is but I must know where it best." Just now wheat is like some men. It works best under pressure. In this year of 1918' there are four places that wheat may be. It may be in Australia of Argentina, in which case it is unimportant, for those coun tries are glutted with it. It may be in America, where its value is well understood. Or it may be in Europe, where it will do some of the hardest and most necessary work for the al lies. serving with the soldiers of France and Italy and with our own regulars and nationals In the trenches. If Americans want to got the most foodpounds of work out of wheat, they will send all they can of It to Europe, where the pressure is high. "BIIAY" SUNDAY'S CLOCK Winonn l.nke, Ind. "The House of a Thousand Clocks" might be the title appropriately given to the home of "Billy" Sunday here. He has scores of gift clocks from all parts of the United States, from the stately grandfather clock to the tiniest of alarfhs. "Yep, they're all still running and keeping good hours —Just like I am," said "Billy." EDITOR DIES IN FIiORIDA Cleveland, 0., April 19.—The Rev. J. H. Bomherger, D.

INSURANUCE AGENTS MEET The Harrlßburg Association of In surance Agents held ,lt monthly luncheon at tho Engineers Club, front and Chestnut streets, last night. r HARRISBURG imm TELEGR2UPH! TROOP EIGHT HAS GOOD JWYSTERY "Watch the Unit Grow" Is New Slogan of Boy Workers A. very spirited meeting was held on Monday evening. At this meeting a great secret was to the members. The meeting was about three-quarters over, when the secret was ushered into the room by the "spirits." The secret is in the form of a present, and to wi?i the present, it will require hard work. The fel lows wil] have to produce the goods in the shape of obedience, conduct and discipline. We intend to work hard to win this present and expect to succeed. On Tuesday evening the patrol lenders held a meeting to arrange for an evening of good time to be held in the near future. They arranged a program of games and contests to be hckl that evening. That evening a checker tournament will start be tween the four patrols; each will be represented by a team to be picked in the near future. During the eve ning there will bo various interpatrol contests, including "Over the top," relay, cock fighting, unhorse the rider and balancing contest.

The Beaver, Dion and Tiger patrols have ordered Hags from headquarters and the Eagle patrol reported that it had se cured a flag when the troop was first organized. A new system has been entered into the gathering of the patrols in short notice. The same system is used in calling the patrol leaders and assistants together whon an important meeting is wanted at short notice. The system has worked fine so far. The patrol leaders were not notified before Tuesday morn ing about the meeting in the even ing. The full noncommissioned staff was present, although two of them had not been appointed until the evening before.

They will leave Women! It's Cheap! Use Lemon Juice and Make Lotion To keep your skin and complexion naturally soft, white and clear at all times you simply must use a lotion or cream every day. But choose the one that is best and'costs the least. The juice of two fresh lemons strained into a bottle containing three ounces of orchard white makes a whole quarter pint of the most remarkable beauty lotion at about the cost one must pay for a small jar. of the ordinary cold creams. Care should be taken to strain the lemon juice through a fine cloth so no lemon pulp gets in, then this lo tion will keep fresh for months. Every woman knows that lemon juice is used to bleach and remove such blemishes as freckles, sallow ness and tan, and is the ideal skin softener, smoothener and beautifler. Just try this lotion! Make up a quarter pint of this sweetly frag rant cream and massage it into the face, neck, arms and hands. It should naturally help to whiten, soften, freshen and bring out the hidden roses and beauty of any skin. Your druggist will sell three ounces of orchard white at little cost, and any grocer will supply the lemons. about S o'clock for parts unknown. A large turnout is expected and hoped for. Don't forget Sunday evening fel lows, at 7.15, in the scoutroom. / R. FOSTER SHADER. Scribe.
