Games and sports will be the order of the day. A peanut scramble for the children, the famous Nebuchadnezzar game recently unearthed from Baby lorlsh excavations, through the needles eye," and several others equally interesting to spectators and participants. Permission has also been given to open the old Plum Road by the Devils Den" for that day only. This is one of the most interesting and romantic of drives, beginning at the front entrance and leading to the railroad by the river through dense ravine.

It surely is one of the nations beauty spots and is right at home.

Three sta,ss Prepare to Fight Com
mon Enemy
Harrisburg, Pa, Jan. p. - Unless
federal and state authorities succeed
in arousing the thousands OF farmers
in Pennsylvania to realize the danger
Of the situation, the commonwealth
may be invaded by an insect pest that
will bring torment TO every one living
within the zone of its attack.
For the brown-tail moth, a pest that
travels in clouds as fast as the wind
can blow it, has been discovered in
this state, New Jersey and New York
simultaneously within the last three
days.
This note of warning was sounded
by Professor S. A. Surface. state eco
nomic zoologist, in an address before
several hundred members Of the sta,e
board of agriculture at the thirty-sec-
ond annual session. which began here.
Not only is this moth damaging
all deciduoEs shrubbery and fores
growths, but it is a torment to the hu
man race. Ilying through the air like
so much dust these pesuferous insects

come into the state on seedlings, nur-
sery growtLs and rose bushes.
Alarmed at the possibilities Of hav
ing vast areas infested with the little
torturers of mankind. some OF the fore
most 'bugc ogists" Of the three state
will meet in New York on next Tues
day to determine upon means Of stop
ping the spread Of the common enemy
Of the forests and human peace, as
Professor Surface terms it.
This pest that threatens us is sd
much more dangerous than the famous
and destructive San Jose scale" he de
clared. that a comparison would seem
ludicrous.'
Recently Professor Surface thought
the San Jose scale such an enemy to
the common good of the fruit grower
that he piloted a special instruction
train down through the Cumberland
valley just TO enlist about 10000 farm
ers in the cause of tree preservation.
