vevors of the po isonous beverages which

have caused scores of dea th s and hun

dreds of cases of b l indness and il lness.

t Th« arrest of the six men in New Y o r k

on Monday is only the first step in a

widespread campaign which is expec ted

to result in the cap tu re of at least a

score or more , accord ing to the federal

officials.

In the mean t ime the toll of dea th

The two mos t impor tan t a r r e s t s m a d e so far, a cco rd ing to the federal agen t s , arc those of J o h n Romanc l i , a B rook lyn unde r t ake r , and Samuel Saleeby, a Brooklyn d rugg i s t , who a r e accused of being the pr incipals in the d i s t r ibu t ion of the poison t h r o u g h o u t Xew Eng land .

Romancli is supposed to have obta ined large quanti t ies of a lcohol on the g r o u n d that he needed it for e m b a l m i n g purposes but where he purchased it has not yet been learned.

Xineteen-twenty has arrived. Let the dead past bury its dead and let the living show that they are worthy a place on earth.

Big problems and tasks confront us and the help of every man and woman is needed. Cooperation—unreserved, unstinted cooperation—is what is needed at this hour. This world must be adjusted to new conditions and it requires intelligent, steady and unceasing labor to make it a world, not only safe to live in, but a desirable place to live, move and have our being.

The elements are all here. Racv material is in superabundance and it requires only unselfish, determined and united efforts to bring about results exceeding the most sanguine expectations of the extravagant optimist.

T H E R E F O R E , let us turn over a new leaf and all go to work with a will.

We must elect a new president; let us elect a good one, one who will be worthy to sit with Washington, Lincoln and Wilson.

We must have peace, at least so far as the old war is concerned. The Armistice has served its purpose and business and industry crv for settled conditions, so that they may unfold. Let us stop the light in the Senate and force them to make peace.

We must have good highways, safe for the high-powered and slow automobiles and express trucks.

We must have reforestation, with waste lands turned into forests to regulate the climate and save the rainfall.

We want an inland waterway system. Everything else is here except the system.

N O W T H E N , since charity begins at home, all other good things begin at home, too.

Kutztown has no favorite son to present for the presidency; at least not this time. Hence we won't waste any money or energy in that direction.

We are enjoying perfect peace, ahead of some other sections of our great country. Therefore, let our monied men go ahead with the big projects they have in mind, such as building rows of houses and getting new industries.

Good highways? Well, we'll not say much about that. But the state is doing good work in that direction all around us.

Reforestation—The park authorities have planted some trees and individuals and school boards are recommended to observe Arbor Day next spring.

Inland Waterways—The Schuylkill Canal is our nearest concern in that line. We want it restored to its original usefulness, when it formed a great artery of commerce between the heart of the anthracite region and tidewater. Our own Sacony is deserving some attention at places, too.

And then, let us work in season and out of season for the letter carrier system, a memorial in honor of our soldiers, a hospital and rows of houses. Let us make the town attractive for those living here and thousands looking around for the best town to move to.

As for the Patriot, it will continue to work ardently for the good of the community. It does not promise to perform miracles, but it does promise to improve its own quality and raise its own standard. There will be some important additions to the equipment, so that whatever the art of printing does anywhere, can also be done here in Kutztown.

Correspondents and readers are requested to cooperate with us in getting new subscribeds and widening the Patriot's field of usefulness and influence.

In conclusion, we wish all our readers, friends and enemies— if such there arc—a Happy and Prosperous Xew Year.

An hour before the time set for the exercises to open all available seats wer» occupied and within a very short time standing room was at a premium. 1* was estimated that enough people to till another building of like capacity were unable to gain access.

The exercises opened promptly at 7 p. m. with a voluntary by Elmer Kistler, who presided' very ably at the piano. Then followed a splendid program of songs and recitations. All the performers on the program were at their best and each one acquitted himself or herself with much credit. A. A. Fister, Dr. S. Brunner. violin's; Samuel Seidel and Dr. A. F. Baver, cornetists, and William Leiby, baritone, ably assisted in the music.

A feature of the exercises was a visit by Santa Claus. which proved the delight and admiration of both great and small. As it was, the true Christmas spirit prevailed everywhere.

The Santa Claus hailed from Reading. He was accompanied by a sextet of male voices, and had it not been for the crowded condition of the church, the audience would have enjoyed a rare treat in the shape of a few vocal selections. Because of the singers not being able to gain access even to the hall, this part of the program had to be abandoned. The collection amounted to $20.

Work more— Produce more— Save more—

But we can't continue increasing our production unless we continue increasing our railroad facilities.

The farms, mines and factories cannot increase their output beyond the capacity of the railroads to haul their products.

Railroads are now near the peak of their carrying capacity.

Without railroad expansion—more engines, more cars, more tracks, more terminals—there can be little increase in production.

But this country of ours is going to keep right on growing—and the railroads must grow with it.

To command in the investment markets the flow of new capital to expand railroad facilities—and so increase production — there must be public confidence in the future earning power of railroads.

The nation's businessman grow only as fast as the railroads grow.

The Kimberley Perfect as a Diamond

ThelnstrumentforParticularPeople THE KIMBERLEY is known for its

distinctiveness, clarity of voice and sound reproduction, due to the wonderful construction of the sound and tone chambers. These are exclusive features which mark the triumph rightfully attained.

THE KIMBERLEY plays all makes of records without changes of attachments. The simple devce on the tone-arm enables you to have all phonographs in one, giving you the opportunity of enjoying the very best records without being confined to one particular library.

THE KIMBERLEY PHONOGRAPH does not require expert care. It can readily be operated by an inexperienced child. The great success of this instrument is due to the fact that it efficiently performs every function claimed by us to the entire satisfaction of the users.

THE KIMBERLEY PHONOGRAPH is equipped with the very latest modifier, designed to allow tne graduation of volume to suit the size of room or the individual interpretation. This regulates the volume and richness of tone according to the selection of the artists—vocal, instrumental or orchestral.

Ilillllllllllllllllliniliinill^HIIIIIIlllrrlWttiiJ Justly called the phonograph of perfection, due to its mechanical construction which marks its superiority over any

other phonograph.

Let Us Hail Joyfully the New, as We Ring Out the Old

Within the next few days the year 1919 will have vanished, all but its memory, and the New Year will be ushered in. Full as the Old Year has been, with trying problems for all mankind, more complex than have ever confronted the

world's peoples before, it has nevertheless brought to our mental conception, as a people, a broader brotherhood, a vision of bigger things, that sooner or later is going to bear much fruit.

As a business house, we have much cause for gratitude. Our business venture here has been crowned with success and we thank the people of Kutztown for their valued patronage. The endorsement given this institution by the public in general, has been the fundamental principle that has made the growth of this wonderful organization possible.

THE U

Insist on Genuine Ford Parts Imitation "Ford" parts are being sold by many mail-order houses, down

town stores and garages to unsuspecting Ford owners as '"Ford" parts. But they are not Genuine Ford parts. They are made by concerns who have no connection whatsoever with the Ford Motor Company. Tests have shown them to break when the genuine Ford parts didn't even bend.

7 he Authorized Ford Dealers are jrour protection. As such, we handle nothing but the Genuine Ford parts. They are made from the famous Ford Vanadium Steel, and each part—according to its use is heat-treated in the way that will give it the longest wearing qualities.

Our Ford garage and Ford mechanics are at your service at all times. Drive in when replacements or repairs for your Ford car may be necessary.

The rails of Reformed people in the interest of the forward movement tilled St. John's Union Church with an attentive audience Sunday morning. It was a

'union >crvicc. especially called to listen 11<> one of the leading pulpit orators sent out by the church to infuse life into the movement. The man sent here is one of the ablest and best products of this C'lnmunity. He is Rev. Geo. W. Richards,

1 I).I)., professor of church history in the i Reformed Theological Senimary at Lancaster . Dr. Richards was horn and , partly reared at Rothrocksville, the son of Dr. and Mrs. Richards, and is a distinguished son of the Reformed congre

gat ion of .Maxatawny Zion's Church. j Seated with him in the chancel were | Revs. E. H. Leinbach, the Reformed pas-jtor of the church; Rev. George B. Smith, pastor of St. Paul's and other churches, and (when officiating) Rev. VV. W. Dea-trick, D. D., of the Normal faculty. The devotions were divided between the local clergymen, while the visitor preached the sermon. It was a forceful sermon, one that went straight to the hearts of the audience. So wrapt was the atten- | tion that the ticking of the clock was plainly heard.

Som<> Strom'. Points Christianity failed to prevent this

war. Thirteen of the nations involved

are of the oldest Christian nations. The greatest difficulty is to Chris

tianize the Christians. We must go forward or go under.

The service was considerably longer than ordinary services, but nobody got tired. A liberal collection was another indication of the drift of the spirit.
