FARMERS AS STUDENTS
More Than 200 and Their Wives Take
Course in Agriculture

State College, Dec. 3.-More than
200 farmers and their wives who can
not find time to spend four years in
college came here yesterday to remain
for twelve weeks as students in the
winter courses in agriculture. They
are known as shprt-course students and
will receive instructions from experts
on the State College faculty in sub
jects helpful to them in practical agri-
culture and creamery work. Many of
those enrolled this year are returning
for tn ethird time. The total enrolment
exceeds that of last year by twenty
four.
One of the features is the course in
home economics, conducted by Miss
Pearl MacD Donald. She will discuss sub
jects of special interest to farmers
wives Much interest has been shown
in her talks on home nursing and emer-
gencies. Miss Macdonald will help
her classes, some containing students
more than 80 years old, to solve prob
lens of household administration.
The winter course will continue un-
til February 26. One week, December
2S to January 2, has been set aside as
Farmers Week. Two thousand are ex-
pected here for that period.

Watson's Orientals

The leading performers of Watson's S
Orientals which comes to the Majestic
Friday, matinee and night, include
many of the best known comedians and
vocalists in burlesque, among them
Billy Spencer, who appeared original
ly with Mr.. Watson in the character
of Grogan and whose skill as an Irish
character is not excelled by any per-
former in burlesque. Krausmeyer will
be played by Jules Jacobs, German
comedian of original and highly enjoy
able methods. Gertrude Sommers is the
leading lady and Bettina Sheldon the
soubrette, while Bert Bertrand, George
h.. Thurston, late tenor of Primrose
and Dockstader's g minstrels; Ray Lee
witt and Sylvia Brody complete the
unusual cast. Mr.. Watson announces
twenty-five chorus girls of the sprightly
vivacious kind that are so essential to
a well organized burlesque company.
In brief this new Watson show is said
to be strictly in line with the present
day advance that has been made in
this division of stage work, and such,
1T will be found to appeal to all lovers
of lively fun, snappy music and de-
hghtful stage pictures. adv. **#

At the Orpheum

While all Harrisburg seems deeply
interest in the Orpheum unique
headliner, Captain Sorcho, the cele-
brated submarine engineer and his
deep sea divers, it must be remember
ed that he is supported by am array of
Keith hits that are as clever and di-
verting as any bill that has been pre-
sented there this season. Not the least
of these attractions is the return of
pretty Dolly Connolly, a positive Or
pheum favorite, who is here again in
new songs and who is also displaying
wardrobe that is especially pleasing
the ladies. Whenever Miss Connolly
comes to Harrisburg she can be de-
pended upon for bringing some new
and tuneful song hits, and this week is
no exception. Her biggest hit, or
rather her catchiest song, is "When
You Wore a Tulip and | Wore Red
Rose. In it she is assisted by Bert
Ralle, who accompanies her ON the
piano for all her songs, but who joins
her in singing this last number. Their
voices harmonize beautifully and at
the finish they do a little cuddling
scene that sends them off 10 a big
hand. Miss Connolly is pleasing sing
er, graceful dancer, a magnetic art
ist, and her wardrobe is exquisite.
Comedy honors of the week go to Billy
Watson and company in thir screech
ing farce Going Into Vodvil," with
Englls and Hawthorne, the "nut'
comedians, running them close sec.
ond. The Orpheum' bill is replete
with merit and diverting entertain.

FRENCH remedy aids
STOMACH SUFFERERS

France has been called the nation
without stomach troubles. The French
have for generations used simple mix
ture of vegetable oils that relieve all
stomach and intestinal ailments and
keep the bowels free from foul, poison
GUS matter. The stomach is left to per-
form its functions normally.
Mr.. Geo. H. Mayr, leading druggist
of Chicago, cured himself with this rem
edy in a short time. The demand is
so great that he imports these oils from
France and compounds them under the
name of Mayr's Wonderful Stomach
Remedy. People everywhere write and
testify to the marvellous relief they have
received using this remedy-one dose
will rid the body of poisonous accretions
that have accumulated for years and
convince the most chronic sufferer from
stomach, liver or intestinal troubles.
Mayr's Wonderful Stomach Remedy is
now sold here by Geo. A. Gorgas, .16

TROPICAL PLANTS FOR THE
INDOOR WINTER GARDEN
Palms, oleanders, Aspidistras, cacti,
Etc, Are Easily Kept in Good Con-
dition If Given the Proper Atten-
ton During the Frosty Season

Washington, d. c., Dec. 3.-With a
little care, number of tropical plants
may be grown indoors, and during the
winter they are a particularly attrac-
tive addition to bay window or con
servatory garden. Various kinds of
palms, rubber plants, oleanders,
aspidistras, and cacti are easily kept
in good condition indoors if given the
proper attention and not permitted to
be exposed to frost, according to the
Department of Agriculture horticul-
turists.
Palms are much used for interior
decorations where there is no direct sun
light. Regular watering is essential,
with especial care not to overwater. 1t
is better w.Jn most palms to keep them
little dry than too wet. Where a
pot is in a jardiniere especial care must
be exercised not to have them too wet.
While small, wash the foliage occa-
sionally with soap suds made from a
good soap. Immediately follow with
a thorough rinsing. When too large for
this, spray the tops frequently with
clear water.
Browning at the tips usually comes
from trouble at the roots-frst, over
watering; second, worms on the roots;
third, lack of plant food. The first
is the trouble in nearly every case.
The worms that gave the trouble is not
the ordinary earth worm, but little
white, harmless looking creature that
energies into the air as small fiy.
Dissolve piece of quick lime as big
as tea cup in three gallons of water.
After it is through sputtering and the
milky mixture has cleared, pour off the
clear part and soak your soil with it.
Do not dilute, for the soaking should
be thorough. To provide plant food,
stir small quantities of bone meal and
wood ashes into the surface or in place
of ordinary watering occasionally use
manure water or ammonia water Ca
teaspoonful of ammonia to a quart of
water). Trim off the brown tips, as
they will never recover. If the leaves
turn yellow, look for scale on the un-
der side and be sure you are not over
watering. Wash the scale off or spray
with kerosene emulsion or whale oil
soap, or some nicotine preparation.
DO not repeat too often. If palm
grows three new leaves year it does
well.
Rubber plants are especially salts

Oleanders may be treated more or

Aspidistras are most ornamental
They should be kept rather drier than

Cacti require ra'bher dry sandy soil.

CAUGHT A BALD EAGLE
steel Trap on One Leg Caused It te
Drop Exhausted Into Lake


Chicago, Dec. 3.-A big bald eagle
was captured in Highland Park, a rorth
shore suburb.
j. Fl. Stanley and Michael Lanciolo
were wall king along the lake shore.
when their attention was attracted by
some object struggling in the water.
At first they thought it was a man.
Both waded out into the lake to effect
rescue and found the cause of all the
eommotion to be an eagle.
The bird fought the men and it was
with difficulty they finally took their
captive ashore. Then they discovered
that clinging to the left leg of the eagle
was small steel trap, such as is used
by the farmers in catching rats Stan
ley and Lancioli took the eagle to the
Hotel Moraine, where cage was made
for the captive.
1t is believed the eagle was lost in a
storm or possibly escaped from some
park or zoo and was caught in the trap
while seeking food.
II. G. Wagner, State game warden
in charge of the First district, saws that
eagles of this species are exceptionally
rare and few are seen out of captivity
in this section Of the country. He says
eagles of the Old Abe species are found

OLD PAPERS WIN CASE
Pittsburgh Concern Gets Valuable
Land on Data of 1921

Pittsburgh, Dee. 3.--An ash barrel
recently yielded map, and a desk
that had remained unopened for eighty
years gave up field notes, all made in
1921, which resulted in decision in
the United States Supreme Court Civ
ing the Babcock Lumber and Land
Company, of Pittsburgh, clear title to
10000 acres of Tennessee and North
Carolina timber lands, said to be worth
100000.
The litigation started twenty years
ago, and hinged on location of the
boundary line between Tennessee and
North Carolina. Sitting in the Tennes-
see court at Knoxville the case slowly
moved from one tribunal to another.
