BUG WORRIES PEAR GROWERS
False furnished Plant Insect Does
Much Damage to Fruit-Pre-

Recent injuries TO young pears IN
many western New York orchards are

age in a few cases has extended to
three-fourths of the crop; but such in

pest has not yet become widely spread

SlLAGE GAINING IN FAVOR
Cattle and in Some Sections 1t
Is Almost Necessity.

Silage for feeding cattle is becom-
ing more popular every year and
throughout many sections has become
almost a necessity. There may be
some districts in which roughage can
be more cheaply supplied in the form
of hay; but even then something sue
culent, in the form of silage or roots,
is almost essential for the best results.
l know of no better combination than
clover hay and good corn silage. The
one seems to be the exact complement
of the other. Both are very palatable
to cattle and should be fed separately
for the sake of variety.
A bunch OF cattle getting a coed
feed night and morning of cut straw
and silage, mixed II hours before feed
ing. and all the Tong clover hay they
will eat at noon, is about as we'll off
for roughage as is possible. l do not
know Of any other ration on which
cattle can be kept so full all the time
without putting them off their feed.
In the early part of the season very
little grain should be fed and the al
lowance gradually increased from
week to week. Many farmers waste
good deal of grain by overlooking
in the early part of the winter. 1t is
an easy matter to ruin the digestion
of a steer by feeding too much corn
for any considerable length of time.
A mixture OF grains will always give
better results than any single variety
fed alone. If cottonseed meal and mo-
lasses are to be fed it is good prac-
tice to keep them for finishing ra
| ton.

Continuing his policy of constantly

manager, announced to-day that the

fine concert the date of which will
soon be announced, ON which occasion
the organ will be used for the first
time in a recital by an artist who will
be especially engaged.
The Regent is the newest motion
picture theatre in the city, having
been in use only a few months since
1t was built. 1t is modern, artistic and
comfortable in every detail and the
addition of the organ, which is a part
OF the managers originally announced
plan, is intended to be the crowning
touch to this beautiful theatre in the
heart of the business district. The NJ.
T. Moller Organ Company is an old
established firm noted for the fine in.
struments it produces. The organ that
has been installed in the Regent has
SO tops and the tone is pronounced
wonderfully mellow and melodious
Two of the group of pipes are arrang.
ed, one at either side of the gallery in
the front part of the building. These
latter constitute the chimes and echo
features of the organ.
The instrument will be played from
keyboard in the pit of the house, di.
rectly in front of the screen, by an ar
tist of rare musical attainments who
VIII be regularly employed by Mr..
Niagara. His name will soon be an.
nouneed.
From this keyboard also will be
operated the unit orchestra consisting
OF a group of various kinds of musical
instruments near the motion picture
screen. The orchestra will be so ar.
ranged that the various instruments
can be played individually or collec-
lively to produce effects to correspond
with the action in the film plays. 1t is
proposed at certain times during the
regular programs in the theatre to have
organ reeitals of popular and classic
music apart from the screen produc-
tlons and at other times the organ
music Will be used to make the motion
pictures the more effective.
The Regent is constantly maintain
ing the quality of its programs of pie
lures which from the first have been
hne. The paramount program is used
daily and in addition there are many
Schubert productions thrown on the
screen. The policy of daily introducing
famous stage star through the film
medium has been most effectively used
by Manager Magaro.

Information Especially Valuable to MO

Of Graphite Lubrication

The other day the writer was in a
garage in town and happened to witness
demonstration of graphite as a lubri-

forcefully and he got such new point
of view about graphite that he thought
motorists would appreciate knowing
what he learned.
The man demonstrating is an expert

First of all he explained the two
different kinds of graphite

matter how microscopically divided,
can never be anything but a fake. The
amorphous breaks up into fine powder.

wet the finger$ which he was rubbing
and it could be noticed that it slid over
the hand with difficulty, though the
graphite still remained. Some one asked
why, and he explained how the plain
graphite had worn off the high spots
and remained in the pores, giving the
impression that it was all there. He
repeated this process of wetting his
finger and rubbing his palm several
times and every time it became black
after slight contact with the graph
lite. This proved how easily the
amorphous graphite would wear.

HELD SUCCESSFUL CARNIVAL
Nurse Fund Will Be Augmented BY
the Proceeds

Despite the threatening weather and
the slight rain, the street carnival,
held by the local Civic Club on North
Second street, and the steel company
lawn, Saturday afternoon and evening
proved great success and approx
mately $500 was realized for the bene-
fit of the nurse fund. The grounds were
crowded all evening, the two great at
fractions being the presence and play
ing of the Steelton band and the
splendid exhibition given by the Croa-
tian and Serbian Sokols.
The grounds were handsomely illum-
mated for the occasion by hundreds
of incandescent electric lights, fes-
tooned along the streets and through
the lawn. The entertainment provided
for the children consisted of the May
pole dances in the afternoon and a
sliding board. In the evening the High
school girls held a May pole dance ac-
companied by the Steelton band.
