nome with instructions that he not re-
turn until accompanied by a medical
certihcate of health. He turned up

Harrisburg people will be interested

state Capitol which Missouri is to
erect on the bluff at Jefferson show
building embodying some of the gem
eral outline and details of the Penn
sylvania State House. It will be re-
called that the building commission
was here just about a year ago and
that its members spent a day study
ing the great structure on Capitol
HILL The commission was so much
interested that members returned
atter tour of eastern States and Sc
cured detailed information. Where
the Mlssourians have the best OF Har-
risburg is that they made provision
Tor adequate setting for their build
ing and will have formal gardens and
the best that money can secure in the
way OF landscape gardening. They
got the site and the surroundings and
then started to get the building.
Ordinarily people never connect a |
poster announcing show with the
route of the production, and we are
so accustomed to the flaring letters
on the billboards that the idea of pos
ters going along with the show never
occurs to us. The big posters which
are showing in front of the movie"
theaters, announcing races with death, |
Mexican horrors, the play with the !
last dollar, and why chickens crow, !,
are as migratory as the shows. AS a !
matter of fact they accompany the |
films. being posted on the day the |
show or film is given. They leave at |
night with the show.
Good fresh York and Cumberland I
county dandelion was in the markets
Of the city to-day and maybe there |
was some Dauphin county grown. |
This is the season of the year, say !
the farmers, to eat the dandelion. 1t |
Is in fine shape and is as delicate as 1t |
gets strong when the weather becomes |
warm. 1t costs something, too, and |
the farmers wife who hunts it gets
a good price at the markets.
