COUNTRY CLUB

New Club Site

Work on the new site Of the Coun-
try Club OF Harrisburg at Fort Hunter
is progressing rapidly. Ground was
, broken several weeks ago for the club
house and the e~ighteen-hole golf
course is rounding into shape very sat
isfactorily in the opinion Of those who
have inspected the greens and fair
ways.
The problem of the water supply.
probably = most essential element
In the future welfare OF the club, has
been solved by the Farley Gannett firm
of consulting engineers. the work be-
ing nde the direct supervision OF
Theodore e. Seelye. After eliminating
three alternate sources OF supply the
nnal decision 10 sink a we'll was made.
The DaUphin Consolidated Water
Company would have proved satisfae-
tory except that the pipes were too dis
tant and the water too low: Fishing
Creek was given up because it would
have required pumping and the water
was found 10 be impure; a spring on
\ mountain side was considered but
the danger OF its running dry elimi-
mated il. So the engineers went down
1S4 feet through 100 feet OF sandy
saale and struck a Vein of G~eliCiously

Cnfailing Supply of Water Guaranteed
In the opinion Of the engineers who

ton, the we'll system is best from every
standpoint under the circumstances.

and guarantees an unfailing supply of

Water will be carried through 6-inch

will be laid within ten days. The
whole job will probably be completed
in a month and when put into oper-
alton the daily consumption OF water
will range from $500 to 10, 900 gallons
per day in the summer.
Several fire plugs at various points
throughout the grounds and a COM

BIG CLOVER YIELDS
REPORTED AT Bull
Chef Allen Gets $4O5 an Acre From
Five Acres-JOe abb Makes $40 an
Acre on Fifteen Acres.

Chef Allen, who lives three miles
northeast of Bull, threshed the larg-
est yield of white clover seed which
has been reported this year. He had
field of just a trifle less than five
acres that made $500 pounds of clean
seed, says the Bull Herald. The seed
is choice grade, and he has already
sold some of it to the farmers at forty
five cents per pound. AT that rate,
Mr. Allen will get $2,025 for his seed
crop from five acres, or $405 per acre.
The market on white clover seed has
not opened yet, though the local ship
pers are paying 80 cents per pound
The field was sown to white clover a
year ago last spring, and this is the
first seed crop.
Joe Abbl who lives seven miles
southwest of Bull had his fifteen-acre
field of white clover threshed last
week. and the crop averaged IL 1-3
bushels to the acre. At the present
market price, the seed will return Sl7O
per acre. Besides the seed crop, the
straw is said to be good winter feed,
and the clover will get high enough
for fall pasture. The same field made
10 bushels to the acre last year, and
the gross returns of the seed was over
5000 per acre. Choice white clover
seed reached $24 per bushel during
last fall and winter, and if the prices
get that high this year. Mr.. Abbl will
receiver better than $3.50 per acre for
this years crop. He has not sold the
seed, but is holding it for an antici-
pated advance in price. White clover
seed is SIS per bushel now. Robert

BAKERS ASK CONGRESS TO. PUT
EMBARGO ON WHEAT

Washington, Aug. 11.-Declaring
that unless congress acts, the price
Of bread surely will advance beyond
the reach of the average consumer,
the National Assn of the Master
Bakers today petitioned the house
and senate to impose an embargo on
wheat:
At the same time it was announced
at the Office of the federal trade COM
mission that Vice Chairman Hurley,
who left for Chicago last light, had
gone with authority to investigate
the proposed increase in bread prices
agreed to by the master bakers
assn.

They do not explain why bread
should cost more than during the
war-scare furry in wheat two years
ago, when they reduced the size Of
a loaf from 16 to IA ounces. Flour
later dropped 81 to So barrel in
price, but the bakers did not return
to their weightier loaf.
The price Of wheat eased off in the
pit here yesterday. Investors pre-
dicted that gradual fall to a price
little higher than the mark before
the furry started.

UNCLE SAM MAY PROBE INTO
THE JUMP IN WHEAT PRICE

THE JUMP IN WHEAT PRICE
Uncle Sam may step into the Chi
cago Board of Trade wheat pit to
find out why the price of wheat was
in one day boosted II cents a busheL
Rumor is current that big price
jump was not so much the result Of
an unfavorable crop report as it was
a concerted action Of some big deal
ers to boost the price to a false level
and collect big profits.
District Atty Clyne said he ex-
poets to keep a close watch on the
activities of spectators. If Unlaw-
full manipulations of the market have
been made, Clyne wants to know
about it.
1t is not expected that Clyne will
find cause for court action, for the
men who are powerful enough toain-
fuence the wheat pit do not attract
attention to their actions by brass
band methods.
The price of flour has scared to
$50 a barrel, an upturn of nearly
81 since the furry in the market
started.
Bakers say the price of bread must
go up or the weight Of the loaf down.

ITALIANS TO USE
| |NTERNED CRAFT

London, Feb. eft was announced
in the house of commons today that
the Italian government had requisi-
toned "a of the 81 German steamers
informed in Italian ports.
Washington, Feb. 20. - Announce
ment of Italy's seizure of German
ships in Italian waters attracted much
attention in official and diplomatic cir
cles, and in some quarters the belief
was expressed that the seizure was the
first of series of acts which eventu-
ally might lead to war between Italy
and Germany. Although diplomatic
relations between the two countries
have been broken off, they are not at
war.
One explanation Of Italy's action is
that she proposed to answer the new
Germanic submarine campaign which
goes into effect at midnight by send
ing German owned ships to sea to
meet the Teutonic submarines. An
other explanation is that Great Britain
short of ocean ships from submarine
activities, wanted to use the ships in
the Italian ports and was urging Italy
to war on Germany.

SEVENTYMEN

Miners Had just Entered the

Explosion Occurred.

Kempton, W. Va, Feb. 29.-Seventy-
one men were trapped by an explosion
in the mine of the Davis Coal and Coke
company near here today soon after
they went to work.
Thirteen are known to be dead, nine
are still missing and At have been
brought safely from mine No. AZ of
the Davis Coal and Coke company near

morning. The missing men had pene-
trated far into the workings and res
cuers who reached the surface at noon
expressed the opinion these men had
persisted.
The mine, which is a shaft 427 feet
deep, was not badly wrecked, accord
ing to mine officials. The explosion,
it was stated, was probably caused by
dust.
Scarcely had the men reached their
working places when the explosion oc-
Cured Those not directly in range of
the blast hurried to the main entries
and started for the foot of the shaft in
which the cages were still operating.
There they were met by rescue parties
and quickly hoisted. Other rescuers
made their way into the mine and soon
located six bodies. Later other min
ers who had been unable to reach the
main lines of communication were
found and brought out. Four Of them
were badly hurt.
