SPROUL FAVORS
U.S. BUDGET PLAN
Says That Federal Waste
Should Be Brought to End
by Proper System
Along with many other executives
of States, Governor William C.
Sproul has gone on record in favor
of the plan for a federal budget
system. The opinions of Governors
were obtained by New York people
who publish the text to-day.
Governor Sproul is quoted this
way:
"Public condemnation of wasteful
appropriations will be futile until
enough pressure is brought to bear
on Congress to force a radical
change in the system used. The
United States has the unparalleled
situation of separate and indepen
dent bills drawing on the treasury.
Our Government business is the
most carelessly run in the world.
"The war cost us billions more
than it should have. The ordinary
running expenses of the Government
are millions of dollars more than
they should be. Let us have a fed
eral budget system as a relief from
the evils of the present utter lack of
system."
Thirty-two sets of drawings and
specifications have been taken out
by bridge building concerns for the
proposed State Memorial bridge to
be erected as a part of the Capitol
Park mprovement plans and on
which bids will be opened to-morrow
at noon. The State Board of Public
Grounds and Buildings will sit to
open the bids, but it will take a
couple of days before an award can
be made.
Attorney General William I. Shaf
fer who came back to Harrisburg
to-day said that he intended to lis
ten to all that anyone had to say
regarding the rent profiteering
charges in Philadelphia and that he
would advise the Governor as to
the law in the premises.
State authorities consider that a
very satisfactory price was received
for the State Livestock farm in Dela
ware county, the rate being $357
per acre. The farm contained 199
acres and a number of good build
ings.
Governor William C. Sproul is ex
pected here to-morrow and will
probably have a conference with
Insurance Commissioner Thomas B.
Donaldson regarding the ten per
cent, differential on the State Insur
ance Fund. The Fund board will
have a meeting this week and dis
cuss the differential and the election
of an assistant manager.

Don't Experiment With Catarrh;
It Often Leads to Serious Trouble
You Will Never Be Cured by
Local Treatment With Sprays
Catarrh is a condition of the
blood and can not be cured by local
applications of sprays and douches;
this has been proven by the thou
sands who>Jiave vainly resorted to
this method of treatment.
Catarrh should not be neglected
or experimented with. The wrong
treatment is valuable time lost, dur
ing which the disease is getting a
firmer hold upon its victim and
making it more difficult for even
the proper treatment to accomplish
results.
Though Catarrh makes its first
appearance in the nostrils, throat
and air passages, the disease be

CORNERSTONE IS
LAID AT CHURCH
Many Attend Religious Exer
cises at Sixth Street
U. E. Church
REV. W. E. POTTEIGER
Many United Evangelicals from
the Harris street, Park street, Pen
brook, Steelton and surrounding
churches attended the impressive |
ceremonies at the laying (<f the
cornerstone of the new Sixth Street
United Evangelical Church, corner
Sixth and Mahantonga streets, yes
terday afternoon.
The new congregation was or
ganized in March, 1918, and hold
services in the Steele School Build
ing nearby. The Rev. W. E. Pot
tieger was at that time appointed
pastor of the church by the East
Pennsylvania Conference, and the
Rev. W. S. Harris, of this city, was
appointed as assistant pastor. With
the assistance of a number of friends
the pastors canvassed the territory
and the congregation has had a
healthy growth since the beginning
of the project. The present mem
bership is almost 100 people. The
Sunday School which also has a
prosperous outlook meets at 10
o'clock on Sunday morning and the
preaching services are held at 11
o'clock each Sunday morning.
One thousand, eight hundred and
seventy-one dollars were raised by
cash and subscriptions during the
services. The total amount of con
tributions since the beginning of the
conference year in March is $2,273.
The congregation now has a neat
sum of $2,600 which has been placed
in the building fund. The founda
tions and the cornerstone are com
pleted on the site fronting on Ma
hantonga street. The edifice will
cover 4 2x64 1-2 feet of ground with
an excellent plot of ground remain
ing for an additional building as the
congregation grows in membership.
The entire desirable grounds cover
93x102 feet. The church building
will be built of Hershey and Le
moyne limestone.
The Rev. W. M. Stanford, form
erly bishop of the United Evan
gelical Church, now editor of the
Sunday School literature, was thd
prominent speaker at the exercises.
Special music was rendered by the
combined choir of the Harris street
and Park street churches, entitled
"Awake Thou That Sleepeth." The
male chorus of Park street, com
posed of the following: Messrs. R. E.
Martz, A. S. Batdorf, John Stahler,
Arthur Stahler, and Mrl Bowers,
rendered a selection entitled "Oh,
Lord Use Me."
The Rev. B. H. Niebel, general
secretary of the Missionary Society
read the scripture and the Rev.
A. E. Hangen, presiding elder of the
Harrisburg iiistrict, offered prayer.
The following ministers were
present: The Rev. A. E. Hangen and
the Rev. H. C. Miller, of Park street
Church; the Rev. A. G. Flexer, of
Harris street church, the Rev. W. E.
Pottieger and the Rev. W. S. Harris,
of Penbrook and Sixth street
churches.
The trustees of the congregation
are as follows: W. R. Donmoyer, C.

Railway Shopmen Accept
8-Hour Day and Increases
Up to 20 Cents an Hour
New York, Sept. 22.—Represent
atives of the six international unions
of railroad shopmen have, it was
announced in labor circles yester
day, come to an agreement on wages
with Walker D. Hlnes, United States
Railroad Administrator. By the
terms of the new agreement, which
It is expected will be formally pub
lished in Washington this week,
600,000 men receive the eight-hour
day and increases ranging up to
twenty cents an hour.
The unions affected make up the
Railway, Department of the Ameri
can Federation of Labor and In
elude the International Association
of Machinists, International Broth
erhood of Boilermakers, Iron Ship
builders and Assistants, Interna
tional Brotherhood of Blacksmiths
end Helpers, the Sheet Metal Work
ers' Alliance, International Broth
erhood of Electrical Workers and
the Railway Carmen's Union of
America.
This agreement, labor men said
yesterday, would probably obviate
a recurrence of troubles in the rail
road shops and end the agitation for
a general strike which was set for
September 2 and postponed on the
quest of President Wilson. The
strike would have affected 2,000,000
men and seriously crippled the
roads of the country. The Beveral
International unions submitted the
matter to the 6,000 local unions in
volved for a new strike vote. This
vote favored a strike but was held
in , abeyance P en <Hnsr negotiations
with Mr. Hlnes.

District Heard of Where Di

School Closed
School districts where school
boards have failed to provide the
required number of days of school

tendance law is virtually ignored
are to be brought up with a round
turn by State Public Instruction of
ficials. Instances have actually
come to light where pupils In one
district did not get any schooling
to speak of last year while In oth
ers it was a matter of weeks rather
than months.
Dr. Thomas E. Finegan. the new
State superintendent of instruction,
in announcing appointment of Reed
B. Tietrick to be head of the bu
reau of attendance, said that he
would stand back of him in insist
ing thgt children be given facili
ties. "It came to my attention"
said Dr. Finegan "that in one dis
trict of Pennsylvania the school di
rectors got into a dispute and the
children did not get any schooling.
The district was not in good shape
and it was desired to send the chil
dren to a school in another dis
trict, but the directors had a row
over transportation or something
and did not make arrangements.
There are others where failure to
provide facilities will be looked
into. We have also heard where at
tendance* is a matter of irregular
ity. As far as lam concerned this
law is going to be rigidly enforced.
It lias' been on the books a long
time and every one knows about it.

who have been studying after the

various lines in which they may
wish to speak and the statements
will be carefully studied during the
