Appeal to Siickles.

We spent the night of the 30th'
on the outskirts of Emmetsburg,
ten miles off from Gettysburg.
Early the next afternoon, July 1,
fifty years ago today. L received
an urgent message from General
Howard.

"For God s sake come and help
me.'
Immediately my corps, the
Fifth, was OH the march on
swift pace toward Gettysburg.
Howard had left Emmettsburg
early that morning, and after
forced march had arrived in Get
tysburg to find myself, owing to
the death Of Reynolds, and the
fact that he was the senior gen
eral then present, in command Of
the whole field. He had fortified
Cemetery hill at once, believing
that would be the center Of the
Union line of battle, and planned
to hold the heights until the rest
of the army could reach the field.

STATE BAKERY INSPECTION

TACOMA, Wash, Aug. 15.-After

ties as food and market inspector,
Miss Arizona B. Wimple, . ersduats
of the University Of Michigan, today
assumed the office Of state bakery
and sanitary inspector to which she
was appointed by Governor Listner In
the hope that she would attain the
same success in the state a. she did
in Tacoma. Publicity was the weapon
that so materially aided Miss Wimpls
in bringing about radical reforms In
Tacoma. During her two years Of
service in Tacoma, Miss Wimple was
greatly aided by the newspapers
which published details Of her no
ports. Stores and establishments
which were not up to the mark in
these reports found their business
dwindling and were forced TO meet
every requirement. Within six months
after taking the position in Tacoma
