DRYS WILL HOLD BIG GATHERINGS IN HARRISBURG Legislature to Be- Impressed" With Popularity of Prohibi tion Amendment L In connection with the Legisla ture's opening and the inauguration of Governor Sproul, the ratification forces of the state are descending upon Harrisburg in such a manner as to let the country be heard from. Wednesday/ Jan. 22, practically all the temperance and uplift agencies will meet in the annual Dry Feder ation convention at the Chestnut Street Auditorium, with all day and evening sessions. Indicative of the size of this demonstration is the fact jthat twenty thousand'creden-j tial cards are being sent out, and j the fact that prohibition interest is at high tide. By that time, if the I required thirty-six states have not ratified, interest will be all the more acute; and if they have, the ques tion of what Pennsylvania will do, and the natural jubilation over as sured victory in the nation, will make a situation equally interesting. On that same day, and the even ing preceding, the State Anti-Saloon League will hold its annual meeting af trustees at the Penn-Harris. At I a 8 o'clock dinner, on Tuesday—in- j auguration day—the day before-Olie convention, there will be a good fellowship conference of the state's uplift leaders, .a delegation of five from each designated to attend. Through arrangemment jWlth Grace Methodist church this preliminary fathering will likely take place thre, the table to be set by one of Its -uxiliaries. ° u, day, January 26, is annual field Hy 0 f t) 1Ql Anti-Saloon League L n ..

Strong pres-[ sure has been brought to bear to secure the presence of Joscphus Daniels, Secretary of the Navy, a flood of requests going to him from rank and file of the prohibition peo ple. r t Governor-elect Sproul has ex pressed his willingness to accept the invitation earnestly tendered him, if his newly assumed duties will pos sibly allow. Congressmen Simeon P. Fess. of Ohio, and •M. Clyde Kelly, of Pennsylvania, have agreed to speak. 0 Such well-known temperance ad vocates as Hanly, Howard, Tope, Woodfih, Mary Harris Armour, Mrs. "Richards, president of Ohio W. C. T. 1.'., are on the program. Mi - , and Mrs. Frank M. Waring, of Washing ton, will render solos and direct the singing. The Commonwealth Band, of Harrisburg, will play. Local min isters, the Revs. Robert Bagnell, S. W. Herman, L, S. Mudge and others, have been assigned places on tlio program. The local executive committee is made up of the Rev. E. R. Worrell, D.D., the Rev. Harvey Klaer and Miss Ella Brooniell. Mrs. Harry Leonard and Mrs. M. M. Steese are on the decoration and entertain ment committee. A monster Bible class turn-out is being planned for the evening of the Federation con vention by the Rev. Harvey Klaer, through Mr. O. P. Beckley, leader for this section. The Rev. Dr. John Royal Harris, of Pittsburgh, state superintendent of the Dry Federation, has been in the city the last few days working out details of the convention, and is high in his appreciation of Har risburg courtesy and enterprise. He afid the local committeemen say that though this is a convention city, it will see something it is not used to in the swooping down upon the capital of,these ratification hosts at this time. To Tell How Italy's Army 'Came Back' After Defeat The story of how the Italian army was pulled back on its feet after the disastrous onslaught of the Aus trlana. will be told by George D. Bradon, physical director of the .Italian army, who will speak at the men's mass meetLng in Fahnestock Hall Sunday afternoon under the auspicea of the Central Y. M. C. A. The speaker's subject will be "Help ing the Italian Army to Come Back." Braden is associate generifl sec retary of the Philadelphia Young Men's Christian Associations. He enlisted in war work, going to Italy ■where bia merit was quickly recog nized and he was given the position of physical director. Tilts office gave him entire charge of the physical Instruction of the Italian army. Mili tary critics attribute much of the splendid morale of that famous military organization to this man. It is believed by General Secra. tary Robert B. Reeves of the Cen tral Y. M. C. A., that the crowd of men to hear the speaker will be a record-breaker. A strong program has been arranged with special sical features. „ ASKS OOTTRT TO BE RELIEVED OF CHARGE Stating in a petition to the court that he needs too much time to at tend to his personal business that he dan no longer continue to abt as guardian for nineteen-year-old Mar garet Willow Mayes, formerly of Mtddletown, now of Philadelphia, Clarence W. Sylvester asked to be discharged from further duties in that capacity upon the approval of Ills account of the estate Miss Mayes will receive when she is of age. It v&8 stated also that she will receive a considerable sum as lega tee of E. T. Swain and because of the additional work involved in con. trolling the funds Mr. Sylvester asked to be relieved. The court granted the order, which becomes final'when his accountapproved In orphans' cdurt. It is likely a petition will be presented soon in the Philadelphia courts, asking for the appointment of the Girard Trust Compapy as guardian for Miss Mayes, who is a daughter/of Mrs. Elizabeth and the late Thomas E. Mayes. jDoo McNeil's Pain Exterminator—Ad.
