on Kelker Tract; Schools to
Turn Out in Force

ton landscape architect. on the job and
members of the Municipal League of
Steelton at work, plans for to-mor-
rows field day exercises, which will

From all indications there will be a
big force of volunteers on hand early
in the morning to tackle the work.
Principal C. S. Davis, of the High
school, chairman of the committee in
charge, this morning invited the school
boys to cooperate. So much interest
in the park development was shown
by the students that more than 100
boys from the High school and Cen
trail grammar school offered their SER
vices. This small army of youthful
workmen will bring their lunches with
them and spend a large part of the
day in Kelker Park
Early this morning several addi-
tional teams and a big motor truck
were placed in service to transport the
Stag that will cover the drives and
walks, from the steel works to the
park. The truck was loaned by H.
A. Hartman and extra teams were
loaned by the United Ice and Coal
Company, and the Steelton Transfer
Company.
Mr. Manning, in company with
members of the Municipal League,
went over the park tract to-day and
marked out a number of walks. He
also designated the trees that are to
be removed, the ones that are to be
trimmed and the location of new trees
The field day exercises will COM

Members of all the cooperating Sun

is considering a big street demonstra-
ton, no definite plans have been an
nounced.
Mrs. c. E. Hills preached to a large
audience last night on Gods Value
of the Individual" The session was
a strong plea for personal work.
THE tendency to-day," declared the
evangelist's wife, "as evidenced by
various sects, is to exact a doctrine
instead of preaching the gospel of sal
walton. The proof of the value of
any sect is whether they are trying to
save souls"

Sunday, Monday and Tuesday all
pleasant days-Monday morning a
great change was noticeable among
the farmers-the long drawn faces
that had for weeks looked on the
soaking shocks of wheat as a dead
loss, began to brighten-the saunter-
ing, discouraged tread was quicken
ed-everything took on a cheerful
business look. Threshing machines
steaming in, teams were hurriedly put
to work-useless pocketed hands
grasped the various implements with
energy and the wheat was found in
much better condition than was ex-
pected. Fred Schang was out before
three a. m. Tuesday morning prepar-
ing to go to his wheat field near Ell
mira bringing back loads of rescued
wealth of the land. Wednesday morn
ing again on the fly. Tuesdays
threshing turned out over fifty bush
els to the acre. Every thing looks
hopeful nova new life seems in
fused by these days of sunshine
Everybody looks happy.
