Owner, L. R. Cleaver, Meyersdale.

Orangeville, Pa.
Sworn to and subscribed before me
this 10th day of March, 1915—Robert
Cook, Notary Public. My Commission
QXpires, Mch. 26, 1915.
State officials to be known as in-
spectors of films are being appointed
in different localities. Their duties
are to visit motion picture theatres
and see if the signs that the reels have
been passed by the censors are prop- |
erly displayed. In case no sign of
such approval is included on the film |
the inspectors have the authority to !
forbid its exhibition. These are not!
cemsors but are to see that only cen- |
sored pictures are shown
There is need of such an official in
Meyersdale as we hear frequent
complaints of objejctionable pictures
being shown here. In one evening a-
lone recently three of the reels wr
decidedly anything but pure and|
sweet in suggestiveness, and many |
children evening after evening come |
come under such influences.
Moving pictures of the right kind
in moderation, are all right but when
carried to extremes as in so many
cases are harmful and much money
is spent in this way that should be
used to pay honest debts. We would
readily wager that any night in the
week, many persons in this town
could be found at the “movies” who
make little attempt to pay their bills.
In the Somerset district, Robert E.
Winter, a former moving picture
manager has been appointed to the
office of inspecting the pictures.

The tumult of tongues was silenced
when’ Toastmaster Geo. W. Collins
rapped for order. His first expression
was significant and appropriate in
calling out, “All aboard for Meyers-
dale.” He then twitted the representa-
tives of thetwo railroad companies,
claiming in point of numbers prece-
dence for the B. & O. The first speak-
er announced was Mr. W. W. Wood,
of the B. & O. His address was, indee.l
a masterly one dealing with man’s re-
i lation to man in that it ought to be
unselfish. He reviewed the past, show-
ing the wonderful advance along all
lines and that we are trying to adjust
ourselves with changed conditions
| This nation is not satisfied. It is ever
striving forward and upward. “If it
had the earth it would want the
moon; if it had the moon it would
want the sun and had it the sun, it
woud want the whole sidereal realm.
Some people, if they had the light-
ning for their steed, would ask for
Paris spurs to urge it on.” The Uni-
ted states can’t take sides in the Euro-
pean conflict as it is altogether
a made up nation of those engaged
in the warfare—it is cosmopolitan.
Mr. Austin Gallagher in a forcible
manner urged Mersdale and this sec- |’
tion of the state to make use of what
it possesses in natural resources and
in the support of present local indus-
tries. Our coal ought to be mined in
the lower veins, our maple syrup, and
buckwheat flour ete, ought to receive
such attention at eur hands that they
would make famous Somerset county
far and wide. He praised our electric
washing machine industry and urged
that the whole town should join hand
in hand to further this plant. Better
far, is it to help struggling existent
industries in one’s own town than to
venture in aiding new enterprises
Philip W. Blake, who as secretary
of the Cumberland Chamber of Com-
merce receives an annual salary of
$3,000 for boosting that city was the
next speaker called upon. He recoun-
ted some of his varied experiences
in his particular field, that he had
traveled 36,000 miles in the last three
years, and of his having boosted towns
in different parts of the United
States. He contended for ‘public spirit-
edness; he said that there was n>
progress in some towns because the
people are ignorant of how to advanca
their own interests. He cited how in
Cumberlad to their own towns on
run from some of the smaller towna
free for shoppers at the expense of
the merchants of Cumberland. This
80 aroused the merchants in the smal-
ler towns that they run trains from
VCumberland to their own towns on
a similar basis. Give the people what
they want in their own town and tell
them through the press.
Supt. O. L. Eaton took exception to
er that railroad companies were good
because the law compelled them; he
was inclined to the view that rail-
roads were doing right in relation
to the public because they believed
in right for right’s sake. As the peo-
ple are exacting that the railroads do
the square thing, have not the cor-
porations in turn the right to expect
of the public fair dealing. Mr. Eaton
presented the fact that a railroad
company was certainly interested in
the towns though which its road runs.
The pay roll for Meyersdale amounts
to about $8,000 monthly which would
mean nearly $100,000 annually. Cor-
dial relations should exist between
railroads and municipalities.
J. T. Walters gave a little history
of railroads, of methods of securing
freight traffic, how agents endeavor
to increase their business. As an ex-
ample he told about an agent who
went to a man who stored ice at one
end of the line gathered from a pond
in the winter and procured for him
a customer in the city; then this ex-
hausted the countryman’s supply. He
then had a city ice dealer in artificial

Mr. J. P. Taggart said that in getting
acquainted with the men present he
was getting acquainted with the best
in Meyersdale. He made a short,
pithy scintillating address.
Mr. M. Turner was the last of the
{invited guests to speak. He urged
| that each should help the other—that
the Golden Rule should be the stand-
yard. Mr. Paul D. Clutton, president of !
the Commercial Club, urged more
