vel OF the county when 10 comes TO
strawberries in October. lie has a
patch Of everbearing strawberries
which have produced three crops this
season. The first crop ripened in
June. the second one i'm August and
the third is just ripening now
The berries do not set on the vines
as thick i'm the fall as in the spring
but the flavor Of the fruit is equal
to any berry that ripens i'm the spring
only. Last Saturday Mr.. Brown
brought a small crate Of the berries to
Belding lie passed these among his
friends, who were surprised To learn
OF his success in growing the plants

Mr. Brown believes that the ever
bearing strawberries can be raised in

ductiye They would command an
extra price because or their scarcity.

TEMPERANCE SENTIMENT

." TEMPERANCE sentiment Is
| aroused throughout Sennsylva-
Il MIA as it never was before. The
local option forces are arrayed
in strength that gives them every
promise Of victory at the next session
of the Legislature. Practically every
legislative candidate that has SO far
announced himself has made local
option one of the main planks in his
platform. The gubernatorial candi-
dates of all parties are pledged to 1t.
It is the old, old demonstration OF
the people getting what they want
We hear very much of bosses" and
"boss-ridden" legislatures, but in the
end the voter gets the laws on which
his heart is set. Whenever public
sentiment is sufficiently aroused on
any subject to take majority of the
voting populace to the polls for the
purpose of expressing their sentiments
upon it, that subject becomes a vital
issue in the elections and in the de-
Iiberations of the legislators to follow;
ana WOE Dt " lllS man " iio DNSi oS =
the trust of his constituents.
Local option is no more desirable
to-day than it was decade ago, but
more people now believe 1T to be desir-
able and in that lies the present wide
spread interest, and also in that will
lie the interest of the next Legisla-
ture in the matter. The action of that
Legislature along temperance lines
depends largely on how many voters
will place local option above all other
matters at the polls in November.
That the issue will be squarely
drawn is very evident from the at
tendance of more than 5000 people
of Harrisburg and all parts of the
State here to lay plans for the comins
campaign.

PRESS AGENT FOR UNCLE SAM

Every mail carries out of Washington
thousands of letters and articles wr.t-
ten by vigorous and busy newspaper
men who have been engaged to exploit
the various departments. Enough ma
terial goes out daily to fill the space of
all the newspapers, magazines and perl
odicals in the country. Some OF these
reports are real news" and are eag-
erly utilized by the press. Others con-
tinue the old conventional dullnesS OF
Government documents.
This movement shows that Govern
ment executives are not only looking
toward a regulation of public affairs in
railroads and public utilities, but have
adopted the plan of commercial organi-
cations In exploiting their work, real
izing that If the genius of the age IS
business, the genius of business is ad-
vertising
Singularly free from personal ailu-
sions, the presswork of Uncle Sam sent
out by mimeograph has been the mark
ed feature of the present administra-
tion: and it is felt that through this
means public opinion may be moulded
to investigate and by those things
which it is felt are worthy of public at
tention. However much 1t may inter-
fere with the energetic correspondence
of the Press Associations, a policy of
valuable ivestigation and suggestion
has been initiated in the press service

SUBWAY POSTPONED

a S the result of conference with
~ the Pennsylvania Railroad
4 \ Company's officials, it is an
nounced that the construction
of a subway at Division street, to pro-
vide an entrance to Wildwood Park, Is
out of the question at this time. 1t
is intimated. however that the rail-
road company is willing to provide
some sort of an overhead bridge at
this point, with the understanding
that subway may come later.
Under the severe retrenchment
policy of the Pennsylvania Railroad
Company it is quite likely that the
subway must wait more favorable con-
ditions, but without rancorous con-
troversy or any unreasonable attitude
on the part of the city, it is manifestly
evident that provision must be made
in the near future for this improve
ment.
We believe that the railroad COM
pany owes it to the city to include
such an item in its next budget of ex-
penditures for Harrisburg. Until re-
cent years this subway was unneces-
sary, but since the opening of Wild
wood Park and the rapid increase of
population northward 1t is absolutely
essential.
We doubt whether it is worth while
to waste funds on makeshift bridge
of any kind, but under no circum-
stances must such makeshift be al
lowed to postpone for any consider
able time the construction of the
needed subway. We believe the people
of the western section of the city
through their civic organizations, CO.
operating with the Chamber of Com
merce and the City Council, should
continue their work, not with a view
to harrassing the railroad company,
but simply to urge and insist upon a
subway at Division street.

In all our important municipal un-

it necessary that it should be consid-
