There isn't any use experimenting when you can get bread that has
given you and your family satisfaction for such a long time. It isn't the
easiest thing to bake good bread but it is easy to sell good bread. Natur
ally, that's why so many thousands of families in Harrisburg eat HOLSUM
BREAD, If you want to be on the safe side stick to your old stand-by.
Look for the familiar HOLSUM wrapper. It's the sign of bread satifac-

Y. M. C. A. FINDS
WAR WORK GREAT
SPUR FOR DEEDS
Dr. Mott Says Complaints
Should Be Frankly and
Fearlessly Stated
New York, Jan. 7. —A review of
the year which the Young Men's
Christian Association regards as the
greatest in the history of the organ
ization in effort and accomplish
ment was made public on Saturday
by the association's war work coun
cil. The review deals with the com
plaints of canteen overcharges made
by some of the returning soldiers,
and states that because of frequent
reiteration of these and other com
plaints by returning soldiers, John
R. Mott, general secretary of the
war work council, has asked that the
administration of the Y. M. C.
A. war program overseas be inves
tigated by the inspector general.
"It Is our Judgment," says Doctor
Mott, "that these complaints should
be frankly and fearlessly faced. Is
It true that the Y. M. C. A., has been
guilty of profiting in the operation
of Its exchanges overseas? The fol
lowing telegram from the third as
sistant secretary of war, Frederick
P. Keppel, is self-explanatory:
" 'Matter of prices asked by
Young Men's Christian Association
for its articles sold in canteens over
seas already investigated by war
dopartment and conditions being
remedied. Young Men's Christian
Association originally asked by Gen
eral Pershing to run canteen for
army on cost basis. To do this had
to reckon in price fixing such over
head charges as transportation
charges and marine insurance so
that prices were much higher than
in this country. Y'oung Men's
Christian Association made no profit,
but lost thousands of dollars.
Arrangements now made will en
able them to obtain supplies from
sources that will reduce overhead
charges and keep prices down.'
"Raymond B. Fosdick, chairman
of the commission on training camp
activities of the war department
following his return from Europe
recently, stated that he went into

ttila matter thoroughly and found
the complaints absolutely without
foundation. X mention this matter
only because the widespread rumor
Is most unfair to an organization
which is doing herolo service."
Big "X'' Casualty List"
Criticism of the "Y," the review
states, was thus leveled at u branch
of the association's work which was
multiplied In volumo by five during
the year. Receipts of less than flt
-000,000 In the post exchange system
last January had grown to more
than $6,000,000 a month by Septem
ber, 1018, and since then have main
tained that level. At these post ex
changes, millions of dollar:: In re
mittances to the folks at home have
been hundied. without charges by
the "Y."
The "Y" casualty list, complete
only so far as the list of dead is
concerned, follows: Nine workers,
two of them women, were killed by
shell Are while on duty; twenty
three were woqnded or gassed
severely; many others received
minor injuries, and thirty-one died
In the service, chletiy- because of
exposure and overwork. Also on the
records of the personnel board are
the names of ten workers who have
been decorated for bravery by the
United States or Allied armies.
At St. Mieliiel the history written
by the "Y" on the Marne was re
peated and again in the Argonne •
torest the Red 'Triangle was in the
advanced posts, says the report.
John Sherman Hoyt, vice chairman
of the Y. M. C. A. war work council,
who was on the ground at the time,
says In his c jntribution to the re
view of the year that 700 workers
and 140 trucks were assigned to ]this
area and operated successfully In
the face of great difficulties.
Under an agreement, the Red
Cross assumed responsibility for tho
entire war service program in the
hospitals, the "Y" contining its
efforts to providing for the welfare
of the men who were not invalided.
This work, from figures furnished
by the construction department, is
now being carried on In more than
1,500 huts and about 400 other
buildings, hotels, theaters and leave
area resorts.
Entertainments Worth $4,000,000
Motion-picture entertainment, ac
cording to the reports, has been
given without cost to an extent that
tho "Y" estimates could be dupli
cated In this country only at a box
otttce income of $4,000,000. This is
bused on the operations of an aver
age month, during which 6,000
shows were given to a turnstile
count of 6,982,000 men from the
American and Allied armies. Nearly
ninety theatrical companies, recruit
ed In the United States, were sent
overseas by the Y. M. C. A. to en
tertain tho soldiers, and the men
were encouraged to develop amateur
entertainments among themselves.
To this end twenty-five professional
coaches were sent to France, hun
dreds of one-act plays were loaned
to tho men for their shows and cos
tumes without number were sup
plied..
In athletio sports the records of
the "Y" state that tho soldiers had
tho use of nearly a million dollars'
worth of sports and equipment and
entered Into great mass athletic
games under the leadership of sev
eral hundred sports directors. That
this program will continue during
the winter Is shown by the shipment
of athletic supplies valued at $175,-
000 during November, 1918.

40 YEARS AT ONE
BUSINESS STAND
Harry C. Ross Congratulated
by His Friends on the
Anniversary
Forty yeara ago yesterday Harry
C. Rosa opened hta tailoring estab
lishment at 21 North Third street.
"Forty years in the same location
and still going strong," said Mr.
Ross to a friend who offered him con-
I gratulatlons, and that about ex
presses It. There Is not a younger
old gentleman in Harrisburg than
"Boss" Ross, as the frequenters of
his place of business love to call
him. For the Ross shop is more than
a tailoring establishment; It is the
"Hatchery," and thereby hangs a
tale. Some years back a Democratic
newspaper writer used the term be
cause It was alleged that many of
the Republican campaign plans were
hatched there. Mr. , Rdss' friends
laughed over the name, made It a
standing joke and finally adopted It
for their own. And so it comes that
the veteran tailor —veteran of the
Civil War, too, for that matter —
came to be "Boss" Ross and his tal
lorshop the "Hatchery."
To have the of the Ross
shpp is a privilege that is enjoyed
by those who are in the gpod graces
of Mr. Ross and is coveted by many
who would be proud to boast of it.
Here, during the day, as in a club,
men prominent In the business, pro
fessional and political life of the city
and state meet to chat for a few
minutes and to hear the latest news
of what is happening at the Capitol
or in business circles. The "Boss"
knows more things that he doesn't
tell than most persons In Harrisburg.
Mr. Ross is an ardent Republican
and a staunch friend of Lieutenant-
Governor-elect E. E. Beldleman,
wliom he has watched advance fro-m
the ranks of young aspirant to the
Legislature to the second position of
trust in the gift of the Common
wealth. One of the happiest days of
his life was when the Senator swept
the state last November. Almost any
day may be seen at the "Hatchery"
such well-known men as Colonel
Charles E. Covert, W. Harry Baker,
Frank E. Smith, who Is to succeed
Senator Beldleman in the Senate;
George B. Tripp, Sheriff W. W. Cald
well, Arthur D. Bacon, W. R. Dene
hey and a host Of others, most of
them Republicans, not to mention
Mercer B. Tate, the lone Democrat
of the bunch.
The Name n Joke
The Jtke of the "Hatchery" Is that
It never deserved the name. Politics
is not discussed there, save In a very
general way. No political plan ever
was matured there. No important
conferences ever are held there. Men
gather there as they do at a club, and
all because they are fond of "Boss"
Ross and like to bask in the genial
atmosphere of his charming person
ality, for Mr. Ross is a man of high
good humor, extremely democratic
of habit and speech and knows how
to make the visitor welcome. But
woe unto the stranger who "butts
in," unless he comes on business,
which is a thing quite apart from
the ordinary functions of tlie "Hatch
ery." Not that there is any show
of hostility; oh, no, the frequenters
of the "Hatchery" are always polite,
but the "liorner-in" somehow gets
notice that he is not a member and
pays no more visits.
But, as has been said, It Is not all
sociability at tho "Hatchery." Mr.
Ross is a tailor of note and his books
contain the names of Senators, Con
gressmen, Governors, generals, colo
nels, Judges, mayors, physicians, law
yers, bankers and scores of other
prominent men for whom he has
made suits or overcoats. He has not
let the advancing years set heavily
I either on him or his business, as a
moment's conversation with him will
reveal, and his friends feel that he
is due to round out at least a half
century at 21 North Third street be
fore retiring to his fine farm in the
eastern section of the county, which
Is now his summer residence and all
the year around hobby.
Fees Sustain County
Offices in Cleveland
Cleveland, Ohio. —An ideal has
been attained here. County offices
are self-sustaining, and the carry
ing on of the county's business now
costs taxpayers nothing in taxes.
This was made known when County
Auditor John A. Zangerle announced
that the fees earned by county of
fices balance the salary lists therein.
Some of the offices, of course, fall
below their expenses, but others go
"way over the top."
The offices Included are the au
ditor, the treasurer, probate court,
county clerk, recorder and sheriff.
The only two county offices which
have payrolls and receive no fees
are those of the county surveyor
and the county prosecutor.
Wounded Brothers
Reunited in Hospital
Stcubenvillc, Ohio. Privates
John Mitchell and Henry Messier,
half brothers, who had not seen
each other for years, met in adjoin
ing cots In a hospital In France
after being wounded in action. A
letter received by their parents told
the story of the strange meeting.
Private Mitchell was serving with
the Twenty-eighth Ohio Infantry
and Private Messier with tire Six
tieth Pennsylvania. Although their
units wero many eniles apart when
they fell, they eventually landed In
the same base hospital. Both are
recovering.
VICE-PRESIDENT I>HOI'S
INTO 1610 VERSE
Vice-President Thomas R. Mar
shall's New Year sentiment is ex
pressed in verse. Mr. Marshall pen
ned the following:
Nintccn Eighteen
The year's not dead, it cannot die,
Its record lights the future sky;
It walks beside all upright men,
Its gaze outstrips all mortal ken.
It moves with Franco to lily fUeds,
Where peace her beauteous harvest
yields;
It smiles once more on Flanders
plain,
Where plowshares hide the sword
again.
It marches back across the seas
To all our moors and all our leas;
It sits by each one's fireside,
To bo for aye God's human guide,
It Is not dead, nor can it die
While men lift up our banners high;
It will have an eternal youth
