SWEETS PLENTY
FOR CHRISTMAS
HOLIDAY SEASON
Tasty Nut Concoctions Made
Up For
Shortages
Just how much Christmas joy witl
toe taken out of the holiday season
this year was estimated variously by
confectioners and candy manufac
turers of the city to-day. Some
estimutes claimed that only 50 per
cent, of the normal supply of candles
will be on the market, while others
ran as high as 80 per cent, of the
normal supply for the holiday sea
son. And while city retailers said
they were not receiving nearly all
the goods they have on order, they
agreed that the candy situation for
Christmas will not lie serious.
One retailer made very clear the
munufacturars' situation. Candles
containing a large percentage of
sugar, such as chocolate creams,
jellies and gum goods, have neces
sarily been cut down. Stick candies,
hard cut drops, ulso clear toys, he
said, can scarcely be purchased at all.
Many Nut Candles
On the other hand, it .was pointed
out, candies containing fruit assort
ments and nuts, almonds walnuts
and pecans are being manufactured
in large quantities. Manufacturers
have been forced to make these
changes in their products because
of the 50 per cent, basis requisitions
on which they have been placed.
As another consequence of the
shortage, manufacturers are limit
ing the supply of candies in bulk,
and producing more goods in pack
age form. It is thought that this
is being, done in order to keep the
trade ofv fancy package goods, on
which manufacturers base their re P"
utations, tlio supply bcintf too small
to fill both the bulk and boxed goods
market.
Situation Improves
Again, many chocolate goods are
being supplied to army training
camps and forces abroad. A promi
nent retailer in the city stated that
while on a trip to Boston he observed
a shipment of 400,000 pounds of high
grade chocolates for one army
camp alone. In one week, he said,
a Trenton concern, not considered
very large, made shipments to *ho
Navy amounting to $36,000. ihe
Hershey Chocolate Company re
ceived an order this week for fifteen
carloads of almond bars for sol
diers abroad, one million pounds
in nil.
Although the sugar situation has
been severe to candy manufacturers,
thes: - conditions should not last long,
said this retailer. The supply of j
raw material in sugar is enormous at
the present time, and with the re
duction of the demand from Europe
caused by the war, and with increas
ing shipping facilities, the situation
will be relieved within several
months.
And in the meantime, candy re
tailers are not worrying that there
will be a great shortage for the
t'hristmas trade, for, practically all
agreed that the situation is not that
serious, and others expressed the
belief that the situation at present
would he somewhat relieved before
the holidays.
Church Controversies
Never Come to Good End,
Judge Warns Litigants
"These church controversies and
litigations never come to any good
end," President Judge George Kun-
Icel remarked near the close of a
hearing in court this morning when
the Rev. George Popovich asked for
an injunction against officials of the
St. Nickolas Servian Orthodox Church,
of Steelton, alleging that he had been
illegally dismissed.
The priest when on the stand said
that the trustees called a meeting
of the congregation for August 25,
on the same day that it was to be
held, which he contended is contrary
to the church rules. The meeting was
held, however, and he attended it and
was dismissed, his resignation becom
ing effective October 25. He claimed
that a majority of the members of the
church who had the right to vote on
his dismissal were not present and
were not notified of the meeting.
These factd were denied by the
president of the church council when
he was called to the stand. Finally
Judge Ivunkel continued a further
hearing of the motion for an injunc
tion until December 16, stating from
the bench that the court could not
wait until the case wis prepared.
Efforts to find among the scores of
Serbians in court some who were
members of the church, and could tes
tify, resulted in much confusion and
several times Judge Kunltel was
compelled to call for order.
In continuing the case he expressed
the opinion tjiat the trouble should,
be adjusted by the members and the
priest together with his successor
without having another court hearing.
It developed during the hearting to
day that the cause of the dissention
was the action of the Rev. Mr. Pop
ovich In leaving the borough without
giving the required notiiie to the
church officials and without their con
sent according to a resolution which
was approved in February. During
his absence a child died and was
buried without the priest of the par
ish in charge. This act was charged
against .him at the meeting in Au
gust and was the reason for his dis
missal church officials said.

SATURDAY EVENING,
PRAISE TROOPERS
FOR HEROIC WORK
Officials Express Apprecia
tion For Services Perform
ed During Epidemic
WUkcN-Ilarre, Nov. 16.—As a means
of expressing to members of the four
troops of State •Police the apprecia
tion of the Harrtsburg officials for
' the during and glorious work per
formed tjy-t'he trooper| during Ihe
epidemic of Influenza, Superintendent
G. F. Lumb is making a tour of in
spection of the troops, calling the
men of each troop together and per
sonally telling them that their re
cent heroism and work has not gone
unnoticed by their superiors nor by
j the executive officers of the Common
wealth. Superintendent Lumb and
Deputy Superintendent Leon S. Pitch
er held an official inspection of
Troop B at Wyoming and the super
intendent expressed the state's ap
preciation to the men immediately
following. ,
Six privates and one sergeant of
the State Police gave their lives in
the performance of humanitarian duty
during the epidemic, Superintendent
Lumb said. Three of these. Sergeant
Remaley and Privates Brown and
Jackson, were members of Troop B
at Wyoming.
Superintendent Lumb said that the
State Police exemplified the finest
ideals of military and police duty
during the recent epidemic and that
the work they performed throughout
the state will never be forgotten by
those in the service or by the public
of the afflicted communities. Men of
each nf the four troops performed all
kinds of service, the superintendent,
said, some serving as nurses, others
assisting physicians and nurses in
caring for the sick and cling, some
drove automobiles for the workers on
their hurried trips and some even per
formed household duties and prepar
ed food for families in which the
mother and father had been stricken
and the children were either too
young or too sick to care for them
selves and the patients.
At some places the troopers found
horrifying conditions and one instance
is cited by the superintendent, where
his men entered a home where a vic
tim had been do.ad for two days and
little children sat crying on the floor
alongside the body, while in another
room the mother of the children lay
at the point of death with no one to
care for her or the children. It was
such duty as this that the State Po
lice performed with cheerfulness,
bravery and unparaßeled devotion to
duty, Superintendent Lumb explain
ed and bis visit to Troop B is the
only means he can find to show the
men of the local troop that their no
ble work at Exeter, Glen Lyon, Pitts
don and other towns of Luzerne
county has not been overlooked by
their superiors. Officially, too, a
memorial service to the memory of
Troops Brown and Jackson and Ser
geant Remaley will he held.
With seven State Troopers victims
of tile "Flu" and two others murder
ed while in the performance of their
duty, the casualty list Jif the force
for the first ten months of 1918 num
bers nine men. Superintendent Lumb
explained and added that the loss of
life in the service is a cause of deep
regret and sorrow to the men and of
ficers of the State Police. Trooper
John Dargtis, of Inkernian. for set -
eral years before his entry-into the
service a noted athlete, was shot .and
killed by a negro near Struthers,
Ohio, early in the spring. Super
intendent Lumb said lust evening that
I lie State Police lived up to their repu
tation as man-hunters and that the
search for this negro who murder
ed Dargus extended all over the na
tion. A constable In a little town in
Alabama chanced to receive one of the
circulars and recognized the lesemb
lance to a negro who had arrived
there the day before under another
name. The constable wired to Uar
risburg: "I have your man, have you
the $200?" Sufficient to say that the
constable received the $2OO and the
murderer was recently convicted of
first degree murder at St.ruthers,
Ohio, and is awaiting execution.
The other State Trooper murdered
during the year was Andrew Czap.
of Swoyerville, who was killed near
Tide. Indiana county, about five
months ago by an Italian highway
man, who had held up other Italians
following a poker game and robbed
them of $1,500. This Italian, like the
Ohio negro, was caught and convicted.
League of Nations
Is Subject of Heated
Debate in the Senate
Washington, Nov. 16. The plan
for a league of nations to enforce
peace, as proposed by President Wil
son in his fourteen principles and
indorsed hy allied statesmen, was
criticised and approved in debate yes
terday in the Senate.
Senators Walsh, of Montana, and
Owen, of Oklahoma, both Democrats,
praised the plan and commended the
indorsement of it by Premier Lloyd
George and other Britisli leaders in
recent speeches, while Senator Poin
dexter, Republican, of Washington,
declared such a league would neces
sitate revision of the federal consti
tution and virtually would bring
about the abrogation of the Monroe
doctrine.
Senator Penrose, of Pennsylvania,
Republican, characterized the plan as
a "novel idea" which should be care- !
fully considered. He also inquired as
to whether the league was not being
advocated for the purpose of further
ing free trade.

SIX HUNDRED
COLLEGE YOUTH j
TAKE THE TOWN!
Lolls Here From Gettysburg
and Lewisburg For Foot
ball Game
Six hundred military students from
Bucknell unit Gettysburg hit Harris
burg with a jolt to-day, arriving for
the game on the island at 2.30 and
fairly took possession of the mu
nicipality. The Bucknell squad, led
by Coach Wingart, student of Glenn
Warner's In old Carlisle days, put up
at the Columbus: the Battlefield
bunch moored to the Hotel Bolton, i
Coach Heathers, of Gettysburg, had |
about three hundred in his retinue]
nnd the Bueknellers numbered about j
the same. The ranks were marked j
by many a red-cheeked country boy,
who looked uncomfortable in his
khaki uniform, but nevertheless was
full of pep.
The two brigades had a brief
walk-around when they arrived and
at 1 o'clock both swung into reel
ing, quivering snake lines and polish
ed up the main streets with their
merriment. Rivalry was high, each
team having won a game, with one
tie.
Hundreds of motorists whizzed
over the bridge and were somewhat
startled to find that the Park De
partment allowed none on the field.
The order was responsible for filling
up Iho grandstand, behind which the
empty cars were parked.
Cheer leaders made the welkin
ring, Gettysburg rooters lined up on
one side and Bucknell on the other.
Many athletes from Tech witnessed
the battle, sighing that their magnifi
cent football machine was not a con
tender.

•Old Time Smoke Satisfaction
KING OSCARS
7 Cents
King Oscars are 7 cents Now—because they possess the same quantity
of the same high quality that has kept 'em regular for the past 27 years.
War conditions brought about the increase in price—because we felt
A ou would rather have the same old satisfying smoke, than the same old
price.
So we maintained the same quantity and the same quality, and pushed
the price up slightly to take care of the increased cost of labor and
materials.
Some men, as a matter of economy, may feel it necessary to adhere
to the old 5 cent price and sacrifice smoke-satisfaction for the 5 cent
cigar of to-day is the old "two-for"— had to increase their
price too.
But why sacrifice smoke-satisfaction?
Four such cigars cost 20 cents to-day.
For 21 cents you can buy three King Oscars.
Why not cut the number of smokes from four to three, and get real
smoke-satisfaction back of the good-old fashioned, Havana filled.
Sumatra wrapped King Oscars. )
If you are one of those who are practicing smoke-economy, think that
over. Wouldn't you rather have three satisfying smokes a day than four
forced smokes?
King Oscars are ready to give you old-time satisfaction. You'll find
them waiting for you in the dealer's case just around the corner.

Harry B. Gibson, "Y"
Man Killed in France,
May Have Resided Here
By Associated Press
I'uris, Nov. 16. —Harry B. Gibson,
an American Y. M. C. A. worker of
Avalon, Pa., near Pittsburgh, was|
killed near Redan last Monday, the
last day of fighting. He had volun-l
teered to work in an advanced first
aid station. A shell burst nearby
and he was killed almost instantly.
Mr. Gibson had served with the
first division for a year as an active
field worker. He was badly gassed
at Cantigny in the spring and doctors
had advised him not to return to
the front.
As far as is known, Mr. Gibson"w<>B
the last Y. M. C. A. man killed in the
war. Fifteen men and three women
attached to the Y M. C. A. have
been killed by shells, gas or bombs
t during hostilities.
The Harry Gibson mentioned in
the foregoing dispatch as having
been killed in France is thought to
be the Harry Gibson who was assist
ant secretary of the Harrlsburg
Y. M. C. A. during the years 1890-
1891. Homer Black, who knew him
then, said to-day that Gibson left
Harrlsburg to go to Lancaster, where
he became general secretary. After
ten years he went to Massachusetts
as assistant secretary of the boys'
department for the state, under
It. M. Armstrong, with headquarters
In Boston, later becoming state sec
retary of this department. Mr.
Black said he had been in corre
spondence with him as late as a year
ago and did not know that he had
changed his residence back to Penn
sylvania, as indicated in tho Paris
dispatch. This might cast some
doubt on the identity of the man
! killed.
