CITY FORESTER NOW
WORKING ON TREES
Mueller and Corps of Assistants
Busy Pretty Close to Heaven in
Tree-tOps of Harris Park

Harrisburgs trees are now in the
hands of the City Forester.
Since yesterday Forester Harry j.
Mueller and corps of assistants have
been busy in Harris Park near Paxton
street and from early morning until
early evening the men get as close to
heaven as the branches of the tallest
trees in the city's park system will
permit. Dead wood is being sawed
away, branches trimmed, twigs pruned
and the scars eliminated by copious
coats of green paint
Forester Mueller's plan is to work
gradually up through the city's river
front park. making such changes as
will be necessary in the care and treat
ment of the trees.
In connection with the actual field
work City Forester Mueller is also
preparing some data relative to prun-
ing and caring for trees as we'll as
some good tips on transplanting. This
will be issued in bulletin form in a
few days.

Allison Hill was stirred yesterday BY
the discovery of what on the face OF
things looks like murder mystery.
Near the Vernon school building
Fifteenth and Vernon streets. scores
of people stopped to gaze at five hens,
a Rhode Island Red rooster, and a
duck. All were dead.
Who killed 'em and why. and 70
whom do they belong are questions as
act unanswered. The heads OF the
victims were unsevered, and a super
ficial examination by several experts
all gentlemen of coIor-showed the
necks had not been wrung. Neither
were there any traces of poisoning
That they were dea6 as doornails
however, there was no denying.
The duck created considerable in.
terest. 1t was slightly larger than the
ordinary millard, had a small crest and
red carunculations about the eyes and
forehead and was glossy green and
brownish black in color. 1t is be-
lieved 1t was large ''muscovy."

A Russian statement says the Ger-
man assault on Ossowetz is producing
only insignificant results. In their
effort to capture this important fort
ress, where they have centered their
attempt to break through the Russian
fortified line in Northern Poland, the
Germans have moved up their heavy
artillery, but the Russian statement
says the advantage thus far results
with the defenders. 1t is also said
that the German advance toward
Przasnysz is being held in check and
that attempts to relieve Przemysl. in

PLACE TOWNS ON HONOR
ROLL FOR SELLING SEALS
Annual Sale of Anti tuberculosis
Stickers to Start in this
State on November 20

When the complete list Of prizes
offered by the Washington Associa-
ton for the Prevention and Relief of
tuberculosis is announced, new fea-
ture will be prominent. To any city
or town selling three or more seals
per capita, according to the census Of
1910, will be given place on the
"Honor Roll" a copy of which will
be sent to the National tuberculosis
Association, in New York city, and
to the press of the state. From pre-
vious records, with little extra eff
fort, the "Honor Roll" for Washing
ton should be large one. The seals
are attractive and cost but penny
each and are used only on the back of
mail matter. Place your town on the
"Honor Roll" Order now.
Though the sale does not begin I'M
til November 20, widespread distri-
button Of the little stickers will be
made this week to the school princi-
pals if the state. Through the efforts
of the children as agents last year,
many more districts were given an
opportunity Of adjoining their Christ
mas packages and at the same time
helping those less fortunate than them
selves. With the assistance of these
energetic little people, it is hoped
that better record will be made this
year. The school principals are also
invited to observe "Children's Health
Crusade Day" on December 10 through
practical health talks and playlets
designated to interest the children.

HOPE TO MAKE FACTORY
BIGGEST IN THE WORLD
Makers of Firestone Tires Have
Adopted Quality First as
Their Motto

When President H. S. Firestone, of
the Firestone Tire e. Rubber company
was asked concerning the new addi-
tions to the big plant at Akron, Ohio,
he replied, "Our growth, no doubt,
seems remarkable but more than any
other force our rigid insistence on
Quality First in everything connect
ed with the manufacture of our tires
is responsible for our vast volume. OF
business.
1--WE make the very best tire we
know how. The best brains, the fin
est materials, the most painstaking
efforts and the utmost care are used
in producing Firestones. The one
idea of quality is uppermost both in
the factory and in the many places
that offer Firestone service.
NATURALLY, the public is factor
in our increase, for motorists use
Firestones and realize that quality is
their foremost feature. The result is
more orders and the factory grows
that it may keep up with this demand
"a logical outcome, and one of which
we are justly proud, for our plant is
the worlds largest tire concern
Quantity in production is excellent
but when quality goes hand in hand
with quantity, there is your ideal com.
bination. We feel very much graft
gfed in feeling that we are in pos.
session of that combination"
