    PRODUCTION OF
TOO FEW GOODS
BOOSTING PRICES
Council of National Defense
Tells of Conditions Lead
ing to High Costs
By Attocioltd Prtts.
Washington, Oct. A.—After an In
vestigation of the high cost of liv
ing problem, the Council of National
Defense finds:
That the nation's productive pow
ers have not been fully utilised since
the armistice.
That too few goods, notably the
necessities of life, have been pro
duced, and that even some of these
goods have been withheld from the
market, and, therefore, from the
people.
That the high cost of living is
due in part to unavoidable war
waste and increase of money and
credit.
That there has been and is con
siderable profiteering, intentional
and unintentional.
Urges Remedies
The council believes that the rem
edies for the situation are:
To produce more goods, and to
produce them in proportion to the
needs of the people.
To stamp out profiteering and
stop unnecessary hoarding.
To enforce vigorously present
laws and promptly to enact such
further laws as are necessary to
prevent and punish profiteering and
needless hoarding.
To bring about better co-opera
tion and method in distributing and
marketing goods.
To keep both producer and con
sumer fully informed as to what
goods are needed and as to what
supplies are available, so that pro
duction may anticipate the coun
try's demands.
Must Produce More
"Better standards of living are im
possible without producing more
goods," said the council's announce
ment.
"At the war's end we and our
Allies had desperate need of the
essentials of life. We have had To
share our resources with them, but
this drain will gradually lessen.
"The process of production re
quires time. If production Is rap
idly increased, vastly improved con
ditions will prevail in America when
the results of present and future
labor begin to appear.
"Team work is imperative. The
manufacturer, the farmer, the dis
tributor, must each Immediately as
sume his part of the burden and en
ter upon his task.
"On American business rests a
grave responsibility for efficient co
operation in bringing about full and
proportionate production. On Amer
ican labor rests an equally grave re
sponsibility to attain maximum unit
production and maintain uninter
rupted distribution of goods if la
bor itself is not to suffer from fur
ther rises in the cost of living.
"The entire nation—producer, dis
tributor and consumer alike —
should return to the unity that won
the war. Group interest and undue
personal gain must give way to the
good of the whole nation if the sit
uation is to be squarely met."
The council is composed of Secre
taries Baker, Daniels, Lane. Hous
ton, Redfleld.and Wilson and Grover
B. Clarkson, as director.
Ohev Sholom Property
Sold to Trust Co.
Ohev Sholom temple. Second and
South streets, has been sold to the
Commonwealth Trust Company, it
has been announced. The congrega
tion will continue to worship in this
temple, however, until the new tem
ple. now being constructed at Front
and Seneca streets, is completed,
which in all probability will not be
until next spring.
The building will be used as head
quarters for the Red Cross and allied
charities, it is understood. The Red
Cross headquarters will be located
for the next several months in the
McCreath property in South Front
street, recently purchased by the

Lithuanians Get
Red Cross Supplies
KOTHO, Oct. 6.—The American Red
Cross has Just brought into Kovno
eight carloads of hospital, medical
and surgical supplies. These articles
have been unknown to Lithuanian
doctors for at least three years and
greatly longed for. They are being
distributed as rapidly as possible to
the hospitals, to the lazarettes and
to the local doctors in remote sec
tions, under the supervision of the
Lithuanian Minister of Public Health
and Captain C. S. Paine, of Detroit.

"MONDAY EVENING,
RAGGED EDGE SCENE OF BIG 1
ROUND UP OF PROMINENT MEN
Colonel Kennedy Back From the War
Greets His Railroad and Other
Friends at Luncheon
Kennedy weather, which is anoth-'
er name for bright, autumnal sun
shine, again favored the owner of
Ragged Edge, the picturesque home
of Colonel M. C. Kennedy on the
Conocoheague Creek nearChambers
burg, where the head of the Cum
berland Valley section of the Penn
sylvania Railroad system entertain
ed a large party of his friends Satur
day. During the war Colonel Ken
nedy was doing big railroad stunts igi
France and his unique October party
was omitted. That's why his guests
were more than delighted when
they were bidden to Ragged Edge
this year. It was a homecoming for
the host in a way and a fine oppor
tunity for the large company of dis
tinguished leaders in all the activi
ties of life to tender Colonel Ken
nedy their congratulations on his
accomplishments overseas and ex
press their pleasure over his safe re
turn.
Frederic William Wile, special
correspondent of the London Dally
Mall, who is sojourning for a time
in the United States, looked over the
large group of American men who
do things* with the observation that
"the resiliency of the American
businessman is remarkable. When
one looks over this company and
realizes that these busy, able and
large-visioncd men are boys for a
day he can't help being Impressed
with the latent strength of the lead
ership In the United States."
Mr. Wile's quick perception dis
closed the real secret of the power
of the American business, industrial
and financial leaders to accomplish
great things. Colonel Kennedy's
luncheons afford these men the op
portunity to meet and greet each
other at least once a year and to
compare notes on the important
phases of the country's development
and the nation's problems. If this
unique social event did nothing more
it would be well worth while.
American Pep
"I regard my coming here year
after year as a great privilege," said
a prominent industrial chieftatn; "it
gives me the chance to find out from
others which way we are headed
and to discuss away from the desk
and the environment of the office
the big problems whjch concern us
all." And these comments were
typical of many similar remarks
during the afternoon.
Governor Sproul was early on the
scene and shared with Colonel Ken
nedy the cordial greetings of the
guests. Second only to him was
ex-Governor Edwin 8. Stuart, who
retains his wonderful popularity and
on every occasion is the center of
groups of admirers who store away
increased optimism a/ter every
meeting with him. His cheeriness
and his wide grasp of the problems
•*Tiich relate to our present-day re
construction impress all who come
in contact with him.
As the guests left their trains on
the outskirts of the Ragged Edge
eßtate and made their way like boys
out of school along the winding
Conococheague and up the slope to
the attractive home of the host they
were cordially greeted by Colonel
and Mrs. Kennedy, Miss Margaret
Kennedy and their son, Coyle, re
cently returned from service over
seas. Leaving the wide porches the
guests strolled over the spacious
grounds, stopping under conveni
ent trees to sample the cider and ap
ples and to admire the delightful
countryside of which the Kennedy
home is a fine feature.
Luncheon was served on tables
placed in a natural bowl surrounded
on two sides by the wings of the
vine-covered house. Here the good
j fellowship of the company found its
freest expression. All reserve was
| thrown aside and railroad heads,
judges of courts, great bankers and
! leaders in all the important actlvi
| ties of the State were once more
I boys ready for a frolic. Ex-Lieuten
! ant Governor Frank B. McClain led
jin the singing of all the popular
i songs; E. T. Stotesbury, the distin-
I guished Philadelphia banker, ren
dered the touching little gem, "The
Family Tooth Brush;" County Com
missioner Harry M. Stine, of Harris
burg, ably assisted by State Li
brarian Montgomery, sang "Oh,
Moorie, You're a Frtend of Mine,"
and before the chorus at his table
finished, they had complimented In
a similar way Governor Sproul, Unit
ed States Senator Pomerene, of
Ohio; ex-Governor Stuart and other
well-known men. And so the fun
proceeded throughout the luncheon.
Thomas E. Flnegan, the new
head of the Department of Public
Instruction, was among the guests
and got a fine impression of the
leaders of the State at play. He is
now more than ever sat'sfled that he
made no mistake in leaving New
York to come here as the head and
front of the new school system
which he is fast shaping up. Henry
P. Fletcher, the United States Am
bassador to Mexico, was not far
from his old home town of Green
castle, and was most cordially
greeted by old friends and new. "If
the administration at Washington
will but listen to Fletcher," said
one largely interested in. Mexico the
other day, "it will do well. He
knows more about Mexico and Mex
ican affairs and the Latin American
temperament than any man in the ]
United States."
Railroad Chieftains
Practically all of the Important j
railroad officials of the Pennsylvania I
and co-ordinated systems were j
among the guests. They included.
President Samuel Rea, Agnew -p. |
Dice, long directing head of the j
Reading syotem; L. E. Johnston, |
president of the Norfolk and West-1
ern; L. S. Hungerford, general I
manager of the Pullman Company; |
Carl R. Gray, president of the West- j
ern Maryland lines; W. C. Beslor, 1
head of the Central Railroad of New |
Jersey; W. H. Truesdale, head of the
Delaware, Lackawanna and Western;
F. D. Underwood, president of the
Erie railroad; W. T. Noonan, presi
dent of the Buffalo, Rochester and]
Pittsburgh lines: E. E. Loomis. presi
dent of the Lehigh Valley: Howard |
Elliott, chairman of New York, New I
Haven and Hartford railroad, and
others equally prominent in the
railroad world.
The Kennedy luncheon would I
never be quite successful without the!
presence of ex-Attorney General M. I
Hampton Todd, who is widely known I
in legal and business circles and j
whose delightful personality makes i
him a welcome member of any com
pany. This also applies to the pres
ent head of the legal department of
the State, Attorney General W. I.
Schaffer, whose wit and knowledge
of Pennsylvania men and things give
him a place of honor on every oc
casion. George W. Hensel, the
Quarryville philosopher, was also
present and had many a good story
to tell of the Lancaster county region |
over which he presides as the friend
and mentor of an appreciative con
stituency. He is a brother of the
late William Uhler Hensel, whose
spirit broods over Ragged Edge on
! every- luncheon occasion. During his
life he was always among Colonel
Kennedy s guests and none was more
welcome or more popular with the
company who annually gather on
tne banks of the Oonococheagiie.
Judges at Play
; At one of the tables some one
i called attention to the fact that it'
was practically surrounded by!
] judges. At the head was our own I
IS. J. M. MlcCarrell, with Judges Mc-
I Pherson of Gettysburg, Sadler of'
! Carlisle and two or three others, and I
:at the adjoining table President!
Judge George Kunkel. Another!
| jurist who was given the glad hand j
| throughout the day was Judge Wil
; liam H. Keller of Lancaster, who is
| the unopposed candidate for the Su-
I perior Court. Judge Gillan of
[Chsmhershurg was also present..
Public Service Commissioners Wll
; liam D. B. Ainey, Milton J. Brecht,
J. Benn, John S. Rilling and oth- j
ler State officials, including Secre-
I tary of Internal Affairs Woodward J
and Auditor General Snyder, thor-
I oughly enjoyed the respite from the !
: public utilities problems and the
many knotty questions which they
1 are daily compelled to consider.
] Lieutenant Governor E. E. Beidle
marr was kept busy shaking hands,
inasmuch as practically every guest
was an old friend. Next to the host,
the best-known man in all the dis
tinguished group was Spencer C.
! Gilbert, of Harrisburg, who has been
| for many years the personal friend
arrd associate of Colonel Kennedy.
: He was constantly in touch with the
. host during his absence in Europe
and was proud of the splendid serv
" ice of the head of the Cumberland
| Valley system. His coming back to
j the United States was hailed by Mr.
I Gilbert with sincere pleasure.
] Judge George B. Orlady, of the Su
] perior Court, had saved a few good
i stories for Mr. Gilbert and they
j were frequently seen together. Both
1 are prominent in the Masonic fra
ternity, and W. M. Donaldson, of
I Harrisburg, recently honored by the
j bestowal of the thirty-third degree
i of the ancient order, was also a con
j spicuous figure.
Sadler Congratulated
| Probably no State official had
; more frequent conferences under
the trees or on the open lawn than
• State Highway Commissioner Sad
! ler, but most of the things he heard
; were compliments for the vigorous
and efficient road-making program
| which he is working out in the or
: gnntzation of a great State highway
j system. He was promised the co
[ operation of many Influential men
• who believe the building of the
roads outlined in the Sproul system
I will be of incalculable benefit to the
i Commonwealth.
The luncheon In every respect
was all that the large company an
ticipated, and more. The good fel
lowship which prevailed, the oppor
tunity for exchanging thought on
the big things which affect the fctate
and the getting together of so many
potential leaders gave to the event
an Importance which no other sim
ilar outing could possibly have,
making the occasion delightfully
unique and worth while.

confronted with the task of erecting I
a memorial as a permanent symbol |
of the appreciation they expressed ;
then."
It seems hardly believable, said i
a. member of the general committee |
of 126 in charge of the campaign, j
that any one of the Harrisburg sol
diers. sailors or marines, will not be
remembered and extolled for his un- |
selfish service for his country, now
that 80,000 Harrlsburgers with their
reputation for whole-hearted re- i
'sponsiveness in war campaign, are
given a chance to pay the men the i
honor they deserve.
No Collectors
"Flag waving and cheering are so
easy, and so cheap," said the com
mitteeman, "and so easily forgotten.
Here is a way of honoring each in
dividual soldier boy. in a way that
will never be forgotten. And after
all. Isn't S2O a small sum, at that?
Nearly all of these boys lost that
much a couple times every month
they were in the service, in the
service, in the wages they could have
been earning with the stay-at
homes."
This campaign is featured princi
pally by the fact that there are no
solicitors or collectors. This drive
will not be degenerated Into a door
to-door beggtng fete, with every one
I urged to please contribute a nickel
j here and there for the soldiers. On
the contrary, Harrlsburgers will be
I informed every day, that they are
eligible for the privilege of helping
In the erection of a memorial that
will stand forever, like a symbol of
proper gratitude, reaching up toward
the sky.
"No, there are no solicitors," said
George S. Relnoehl, in charge of the
campaign among the industries, "but
every Harrlsburger who was not in
the service and whose son or brother
was not in the service, is an active
participant in this unique campaign.
' He is hereby commissioned to come
jto the offices of the Harrisburg
Chamber of Commerce, and pay
j down twenty dollars in honor of
; some soldier or sailor who served
his country during its most trying
period."
Officials of the Fine Street Pres
byterian Church yesterday decided
to contribute S2O in honor of each of
their men who died in the service.
It is hoped that individual members
of their congregation will continue
the good work by covering each serv
ice star on their flag. Other churches
i and Sunday Schools are planning
I ways and means to remember their
I service men with twenty dollar sub-
I scriptions.

This Doughboy friend of ours scored a bulls-eye when he looked up the Advertisement

American namesake has been, for the past 29 years. Then, along comes the _ Mjt
war, and Quality tobacco (nature-rtiellowed Havana Filler) becomes harder
to get. Up goes the price and it was up to us to cut quality, cut the size, or i|H^|
raise the price and maintain the 29-year reputation for quality. We took the
latter course and the way sales jumped proved we were right; that you want

FOOD PRICES IN
GERMANY HIGH
Many Protests Arc Being Made
Against Government
Food Control
Coblcnx, Oct. 6. More Insistent
protests than ever before against
government food control, the host
of food profiteers and food brokers
and the ever Increasing speculation |
In foreign exchange now fill the
columns of the food Journals and
farm magasines of Germany.
Food prices continue very high.
This is attributed partly to the low
valuation of the mark. The official
exchange rate for the mark for Sep
tember at headquarters of the
American* Forces in Germany was
22 marks to the dollar.
Since Germany resumed commer
cial relations with the outside world
she has been able to import only
meager quantities of necessary and
staple foodstuffs, with the exception
of fish and milk, the food journals
say. There has been a good crop
of fruits and vegetables throughout
Germany. Livestock is reported to
be about twenty per cent, below
normal with little prospect of enough
food to stimulate breeding except
possibly of hogs.

Accidents will occur,
but infection need not
You never know just when it is going
to happen. Generally without warning
a slip is made —a deep cut — a broken
and bruised skin is the result. That's
the time to be careful —to guard against
infection. There's safety and security
in a jar of Resinol Ointment.
