make or break most farmers in the
Cotton States. We are all facing a
crisis on cotton. Cotton credit Is up.
set. The supply merchant cannot ad-
vance supplies on 1915 cotton. You
must do your best to produce on your
own acres the food and grain supp'ies
that have made up most Of your store

A good piece Of garden ground,
rightly planted, rightly tended and
kept planted the year round, can be
made to pay half your living It will
save you more money than you made
on the best five acres of cotton you
ever grew! But it must be real

BOARD HAS $5,SO1 TO SPARE
Problem to Know What to Do With
Old Trade Organization 8 Assets

Preliminary to making an order
finally dissolving the old Harrisburg
Board Of Trade, predecessor of the
Chamber of Commerce, Judge George
Kunkel this morning appointed Will
liam H. Earnest as auditor OR master
to decide upon a plan for distributing
the boards $5,S01,75 assets, which
now are in the hands of Henderson Gill
bert, the distributing trustee.
There are more than 400 stockhold-
ers in the board and a problem the mas.
ter must solve arises from the fact
that on November 6, 1913, when the
board decided to give up the ghost,
many of the stockholders were not in
good standing. Tangled records make
it almost impossible to get definite
data on which of the stockholders may
be entitled to share in the assets.
The Board of Trade now has no
debts, the building at Market and
River streets, which was mortgaged to
the extent of $4,000, has been sold
to the Commonwealth Trust Company
and the purchaser has assumed the
mortgage obligation.

THREE INJURED BY AUTO
One Man and Two Boys Victims of Ac
cidents Yesterday

Two boys and man were slightly
injured yesterday as a result of a series
of automobile accidents. The first acci-
dent occurred at Heckton when an au-
tomobile driven by John Yost, of this
city, collided with a telephone pole
Yost was not injured but Harry Filling,
2290 North Sixth street, was thrown
from the machine and received frac-
tured nose and injuries about the face.
He was treated at the Harrisburg hos.
pital.
Shortly following Eugene Murphy, of
1913 Wallace street, was knocked
down by\a machine while roller skating
at Wallace and Cumberland streets. He
was taken to the Harrisburg hospital
where it was found he was suffering
from a bruised hip.
Samuel Freedman, boy who resides
at 1929 North Third street, was struck
by a machine while crossing the streets
at Third and Harris streets last night.
He was taken into the Harrisburg Boot
and Shoe Office nearby and DIR. C. w.
Batdorf was summoned. The boy was
found to be suffering from lacerations
about the face and hands.

TAKES 2 LOAvES OF BREAD
Colored Man Gould Not Resist Temp
tation While Passing Bakery

When passing the plant of the Har-
risburg Bakery, South Cameron street,
this morning Charles Wilson, colored,
was seized with an enormous appetite,
when the odor of the pies and cakes
reached him. Knowing that he could not
go all day with the thought of those
good things far from his reach, Charles
decided he would have some and he
did.
With caution he went to the rear of
the plant, where the ovens are located,
but right then and there he could
stand it no longer and with animal-like
quickness he snatched two loaves of
bread. Others were a little quicker
than Charles, and before he knew what
was happening the police patrol soon
had him lodged in Jail. He will be
given hearing on charge of larceny
before Mayor Royal tomorrow after
