Laurel Park Drawing
Select Racing Crowds
Laurel Park, Maryland, where the
Maryland State Fair is holding its
annual program, is the recreation
spot these days of many statesmen
and financiers from the Capital, says
a Harrisburg visitor, who ran down to
ogle the newly-beatutitled plant. "You
can see most of the big fellows," he
remarked, "and 1 noticed a pile of
them indulging in the puri-mutuul. A
pile of money has been spent on the
racing sport in old Anne Arundel
county, something like $300,000, and it
will be a $600,000 proposition before
they are through. The track has been
raised in some sections us much as five
feet, and the horsemen who have vis
ited it lately are unanimous in their
opinion that it will be as fast as
Saratoga, where world's records went
by the boards during the great event
of racing which recently closed at the
Spa. The Laurel Park track is in the
hands of a master superintendent,
Frank Keegan. This Keegan is the

DUTY OF AMERICAN MEN
TO KEEP FIT DURING WAR
SAYS Y. M. C. A. DIRECTOR
"It's your duty as an American,

slogan adopted by C. W. Miller, ph.v-'
sical director of the Central Y. "M.i
C. A. who has opened a "Keep Fit"
campaign to continue through the
entire winter. Resolved that Har
risburg men shall be lit to meet the!
Prussian foes of civilization, this
drive of preparedness has been
launched. Twelve gymnastic classes
with a prepared schedule as is given
on this page, have been organized.
Every one of these classes is going (
to roceive some military training |
and setting up exercises- It is an
inspiring sight to see kiddies of 12!
to 14 years following in perfect lino
the commands "Squads right!" and;
"squads left!" and going through!
the manual of arms without flaw.
In line with the preparedness pro
gram, boxing bouts will be staged;
between tho men at the "Y" gym
nasium, not as a piece of sports
manship but as a link in the effort
to make the muscles strong and the
e>e keen. Even the policemen and l
businessmen will participate in this
program of training. Husky lads!
from the city's law-keeping depart-,
ment will clash in volleyball with'
graylieaded businessmen and boys I
who are preparing to enter the army.
Each man is clad in the standard 1
uniform of white shirt, short white i

Game With Penn State
State College, Pa., Oct. 3.—Penn
sylvania State's sagging football
schedule was deaft another shatter
ing blow, when Lebanon Valley Col
lege cancelled its game which was
originally planned for October 26.
The War Department's ruling against
overnight trips during that month

now been cancelled, leaving only
Washington and Jefferson. Rutgers,
Lehigh and Pittsburgh on the slate.
The graduate management is dick
ering with Carnegie Tech, for a con
test here, November 2, and with
Bucknell for a late October date. N'o

other detail of his system.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
PATRIOTIC GROCERS
To the Editor of the Telegraph:
Most of the, grocers of Harrlsburg
have complied with the patriotic plea
from the Fuel Administrator to save
coal. They have pledged themselves
to conform with a ruling made In
their association to close their stores
promptly at six p. m. each day In
cluding Saturday in order to save
coal for other more important insti
tutions.
It is just as unpatriotic for you to
do your shopping after these hours
as it is for the stores to keep open.
Too long the city of Harrlsburg
has remained an overgrown coun
try town! Long years ago when it
was customary for pay day tt> fall
upon Saturdays, the good citizens
would dress In their Sunday-go-to
meeting clothes and squeechy shoes I
and together with their children and J
their children's children they would
all flock to the nearby grocery or
town stores to pay their bills and
to buy provisions or clothing for fu
ture needs. The habit that our
grandsires formed, in those good old
days lingers yet In the lives of their
great grandchildren.
Let us rouse ourselves from this
stupid habit! No longer does payday
fall on Saturday for the most of us—
why should the custom of buying
groceries on Saturday night be kept j
up? Would not Saturday morning
or afternoon do Just as well In which
to purchase our provisions?
If the public could or would only
realize the tremendous sacrifices our
owfT boys—the 112 th Regiment are
making for us 'on the battlefields of
France—surely, even the most callous
among us would be willing to help
the grocers and buslnesshouses keep
their pledges to our counti-y and to
our boys by shopping early. Get
the habit! It Is with regret that we
learn that a few of the growers are
not In favor of this fuel-saving
scheme. Surely no personal plea
about labor or food spoiling or what
not Is of as great an Importance as
responding to the cry "Save Coal for
Humanity's Sake!"
The former plea or pleas can be
solved by some figuring done on the
part of those "conscientious objec
tors; the latter cry can only be mas
tered when the grocers and public
come to a mutual agreement that
they will awaken from their Jong
Rip Van Winkle like slumber and
buy and sell early.
Let the public stand by our pa
triotic grocers and buslnesshouses!
Buy your "taters" or shoe strings
: before six O'clock -Saturday evening.
; Help them save the coal! Freeze out
j Kaiser Bill! But keep the home fires
| burning!

a Gettysburg classmate, the coach

every kind o£ formation and was sat
isfied that tfie teamwork will show
up well on Saturday, when the Acad

The team has by no means been

finding plenty of talent and, of course,
wants to get the best. Yesterday
"Red" Menger was moved back from
the line, and he made good carrying
the pigskin.v Among the applicants
who have shown qualifications are:
Weigle, at quarter; Hawkins. Hendry,

The coach is getting fine service

a huge drive for linen to be launched
here next week by the Harrisburg
chapter, American Red "Cross:
The requisitions from abroad cafl
for: 1,250,000 Igith towels, 2.500.000

which means that Harrisburg is

RELIGIOUS MANIA
GRIPS GERMANY
Weaver of the Name of Hain
Has Been Posing as
the Messiah
Amsterdam. —-Wierd outbursts of.
religious mania are reported from
many parts of the German empire, j
The commander of the Nineteenth!
Army Corps Leipzig has found It
necessary to prohibit meetings of it
sect known as the "Little Flock,"
which originated at Meerane. Its
Head is a weaver named Hain. whom
his adherents address as "Holy
Father." He poses as tlTe Messiah
and pronounces "sentences" from ills
"Judgment teat," from which he,
"separates the sheep from the
goats."
The new "Messiah" has achieved
some measure of popularity by his
attacks on the established clergy on
the ground that they draw stipends,
which, he says, the Apostle Raul|
never did; neither does he, himself.
The "Little Flock" craze, it seems,
has spread to such an extent in Sax
ony, especially among impressiona
ble'young people, that the authori
ties have had to interfere.
Many extreme pan-Germans have
given way to a kind of heathenish
mysticism. They openly propagated
a revival of the pagan worship of
the ancient Teutons, including offer
ings to Wotan
. A more modern offshoot of # this
queer movement is headed by' one
Ludwig Neuner, who definitely re
nounces Christianity on the ground
that it is "foreign to the German
ideal." Family life is out of date,
sqys Neuner, 'and all children should
be charges of the state. For prayer.
Neuner proposes the following sub
stitute, which the Roman Catholic
Gcrmania appropriately calls a
"prayer ersatz" or substitute:
Rodily and mental "uplifts" move
ments every morning; baths, deep
breathing, song and dance, reading
of valuable pcetry, contemplation of
truly artistic objects of art; train
ing of will power by auto-suggestion,
etc. ' -
The Roman Catholic Bavarian
Courier suggests an additional
movement, tapping of the forehead
morning, noon and night.
