CITY PLANNING

~ URDENED as they are with many
Il important matters at this time,
- which involve painstaking care,
it is still the hope of all who are
interested in the progress of the city
that the new rulers of the municipal
ity will act promptly in creating the
City Planning Commission authorized
by the last Legislature. 1t is be-
lieved that Mayor Royal and his as
sociates are practically Of one mind
regarding the desirability of this
commission. The experience of other
cities in this country and abroad is
such as to Justify the placing of the
important planning of Harrisburg un-
der the direction of men who are
qualified by experience for the duties
that will devolve upon them under
this act.
Harrisburg has need at this time
for more harmonious development
along many lines and a commission
making city planning its business
would result in immeasurable good
for the whole community.

UNWILLING PATRIOTS

IN the attitude of Congressman Pal
mer and Secretary of Labor Wilson
toward the proposal that they fore
go their present certainties al
Washington for the uncertainties
of the gubernatorial campaign in
Pennsylvania on the Democratic ticket,
there is no indication that either of
these gentlemen is yearning to offer
ftiImself up as a personal sacrifice for
"the cause"
Mr.. Palmer would rather be COVER
NOR than q congressman, but he would
rather be an unbeaten congressman
than beaten governor. Secretary
Wilson considers that his cabinet office
is more of an honor than it would be
to inhabit the Executive Mansion in
Harrisburg. The welfare of the State
and of their party in the State does
not appear to have entered into the
calculations of Mr.. Palmer and Mr..
Wilson at all. 1t is merely, what
would we get out of it?"
Some of their good friends who
complain bitterly about this unpatrio-
tic attitude say that it does not square
with the previous professions of dis
snterestedness which have been the
very essence and flower of their politi-
cal strength and success.
AS for us, never having supposed
that either Mr.. Palmer or Mr.. Wilson
entered politics through any desire for
1nartyrdom or sacrifice. the disillusion
Is no great shock.

SAVE THE BIRDS

WV HAT a splendid service DR..

" Boy Scouts of Pennsylvania
in his letter to the public
pleading for the feeding of our wild
birds during the period when snow
covers the fields and forests and places
hundreds and thousands of our little
feathered friends in danger of starva-
tion.
Here is just such a work as should
delight the heart of any boy. Ranging
the snowclad woods is delightful
enough at any time for the warmly
clad, outdoors loving lad. Bound on a
mission of mercy and carrying food
for the famishing birds should only
add to the zest of the excursion of the
Boy Scout who is thus living up to
the high tenets of his Scout code.
Boy Scouts everywhere should as
sist the Game Commission in this
laudable work. Doubtless they will
need no urging to do so.

SATURDAY EVENING. JANUARY 10
UNION STATION PLAZA


M allied railroad interests are
w about 1t why should they not
create a spacious plaza in
front OF the Union Station that would
constitute a dignified and attractive
gateway from the railroad to the city
proper? Inasmuch as the company
already owns the property along
Grace avenue and for a considera BILE
distance in Market street, there would
seem to be no good reason for longer
neglecting the Improvement OF the
entrance.
Under present circumstances 1t Is
necessary for pedestrians to walk a
long distance from Market street to
the station building without any pro-
lection whatever from the weather. 1t
would be a simple matter, and cer-
tainly not unduly expensive, for the
company to provide a covered walk
from Market street to the entrance.
The rather plain open space in front
of the Union Station could easily be
transformed into a most attractive
feature by the landscape architects of
tia company and the expert florists
AYE done some admirable work
EASTERN approach to the Rock
siiie bridge-without interfering in
any degree with the necessary drive

This might be a proper matter for

Der of Commerce. We believe the

mony with the new Harrisburg idea
and will cheerfully cooperate with
whatever plans are adopted along rea-
sonable lines.

The subtle insult conveyed in the

A MEMORIAL WORTH WHILE

trees planted in honor of the
discoverer of the Baldwin apple.
Did you know that all the Baldwin
apple trees in the United States were

trees set out this month, as a starter
in orcharding and as a memorial tc

Mrs. Farmers story of how the
Baldwin apple was discovered is in
teresting. She says:
Loammi Baldwin. my t-great-
grandfathers brother, was out
hunting near Wilmington, Mass,
one autumn many years ago be-
fore the outbreak of the War of
the Revolution.
He came upon a wild apple tree,
laden with beautiful fruit and, on
tasting, found that the apples upon
it were the most delicious he had
ever eaten.
Realizing that here was SOME
thing worth far more than the rab-
bits he was after in an afternoons
fun, he took a handful of scions
from the. new tree and, arriving
home, quickly grated them onto
young apple trees Of suitable
points.
Baldwin might have eaten his fill OF
the splendid fruit he found and have
gone his way. But he did not He
saw the possibilities in that tree and
has handed down as fine an apple as
one could ask and his name to gene
rations upon generations to come.
Many another doubtless passed that
way but saw nothing more than a
particularly fine apple tree, the fruit
of which he found good, of which he
ate and then forgot. Thus do oppor-
tunities for fame and fortune lurk in
unexpected places, and few see them

FEED FOR FATTENING SWINE
Largest Daily Gains In Nebraska Ex-
pertinent Were Made on Corn and
Cut Alfalfa Hay.

In Nebraska last winter an expert
ment In feeding alfalfa as a substitute
for corn In feeding pigs showed that
the largest daily gains were made on
threefourths corn and one-fourth
shorts, but a gain practically equiva-
lent was made at q lower cost where
either cut or ground alfalfa was sub
stituted for shorts In the ration. The
cheapest gains were made on corn and
cut alfalfa.
Bran does not prove equal to either
shorts or alfalfa when fed as one
quarter Of the ration to pigs.
A ration three-fourths corn and one
fourth alfalfa produces greater gains
than when one-half is fed.
Where alfalfa is raise on the farm.
and when there is no particular need
to hasten growth in pigs ration one
half alfalfa hay and one-half corn may
give cheaper gains than when a heav-
Ter corn ration is fed.
Hogs which have been raised largely
on alfalfa pasture will learn to eat
hay In winter without cutting with q
machine and to depend largely upon It
where only a limited grain ration is
fed. but a ration wholly alfalfa does
not seem to give economical results.
This experiment shows that cut or
ground alfalfa can be substituted for
shorts at the same price In fattening
pigs.

FOR OLD CUMBERLAND ROAD.
Bill In Congress For Its Extension In
Four States as Pledged.

The National Highway association
In calling attention to bill of, Repre-
sentative Barnhart of Indiana for the
throws some light on the history Of
that highway.
when in 1902 Ohio was admitted
to the Union" 1t says I'm a recent
statement, 1.-The general government
gave its written pledge that one-twen-
tieth of the net proceeds from the sale
of all public lands situated within the
state would be applied by congress to
the building of a national road from
tidewater on the Atlantic to and
through the state. Similar contracts
were entered into by the government
with Indiana, Illinois and Missouri
upon their admission to the Union.
Subsequently the government sold the
public lands thus reserved and pledg
ed to the purpose of building Of roads
and appropriated the proceeds to the
building of the Cumberland road In
Only a small part of the money was
spent In any of the public land states,
and none of 1t reached Missouri.
Representative Barnharts bill calls
for an appropriation of $5,OOOOO0 for
continuing the construction and pro-
viding for the maintenance Of the
Cumberland road In those states.
Ohio, Indiana and Illinois are each to
get s1,OoO.OOO and Missouri $2,0OO,OOO.
The bill authorizes the president to APP
point three national highway commits
sioners to have full charge of con-
struction, repairs and maintenance Of
the road. They are to serve three years
and receive 5000 salary each. The
road follows the route of the National
Old Trails road and Is a part of the
$4,000 miles of national highways pro-
posed. The Cumberland road does not
touch Mr.. Barnhart's district, but he
realizes, as Lincoln did, that no public
improvement is so local as to be of no
general benefit"

may bring about an apparent re-
covery, but this time may be greatly
extended. Moreover, an apparent
recovery by no means implies real
cure. The animal may carry the
virus in its blood for a year or
more and is liable during all this
time 60 spread The contagion or to
experience a recurrence itself. The
mortality. considering the serious
ness Of the disease and the losses
il occasions, is very small, being es-
limated by some authorities at 5
per cent although il frequently is
much greater than this. The NOR
tality, however, by no means rep
resenls the real losses occasioned by
the disease. No revenue is possible
from infected herds, and in the case
of dairymen an outbreak OF foot
and-mouth disease frequently means
that their business is completely
ruined. Blooded or other cattle that
have become sick with the disease
naturally lose their value as breed
ing animals. II is, however, i'm
possible TO get rid OF the disease by
ignoring IL. The only possible rem
edy is to kill of infected herds, dis
infect the premises, and begin over
again.
While The Federal Government is
active in fighting the disease thru
its power TO control interstate COM
merce. cooperation on the part OF
the State authorities is most es-
senlial. The quarantining individu-
ally Of infected farms is State mat
ter. and il is, Of course, a most es-
sential precaution. Farms on which
the disease has broken out should
be as rigidly quarantined as If some
contagious human disease had been
found. Since the germs can be
transported by cats, dogs, chickens,
or human beings, nothing should he
allowed Ia leave the farm unit. the
roper disinfecting measures have
been taken. In particular. farmers
are urged TO keep away themselves,
and to assist in keeping others away,
from all infected animals. The in
spectors who do the slaughtering
and disinfecting are supplied with
the necessary equipment of rubber
gloves. coats, boots, and hats, which
can be thoroughly disinfecbed as
often as necessary. Others who
lack this equipment merely help in
spreading the disease over the coun-
try when they visit or inspect sick
animals.
