NEW USE FOR FORD
College Expert Evolves
Plan to Get Gophers

If there is any one thing that is de-
trimental to the irrigated farm 1t is the
gopher. and some times these gophers
lose their appetite for perfectly good
strychnIne poison served out to them in
choice morses OF meal or grain, and
they seem to go on hunger strike.
Whether this is limited to the '.suffragette
female population or not it is hard to
say but at any rate a considerable num-
bel of then refuse absolutely to eat the
poison.
As Ford cars are plentiful and Rock
efeller gas" is now readily obtainable, a
new field of usefulness is discovered for
the combination. The system is to at
tach one end OF rubber hose to the
Ford exhaust pipe and poke the other
end into gopher hole, making the joint
tight with little dirt pressed down with
the foot, thus filing the hole. Run the
Ford for few minutes, and this latest
Ford peace potion" reduces Mr.. Gopher
to state of innocuous desuetude.a
Where the gophers are pretty thick in
the trenches, the Man with the Ford and
hose attachment is able to pyt the qui-
etus upon very large detachments in the
course of half day, altho he does not
take the trouble to Dig them all out of the
ground, since their edlbility is much i'm
paired by their enforced consumption of

The Ajo- ite approached the crossing and asked some Indians who were standing near, what was the condition of it. They told him il was all right and told him where to drive to keep in the main highway But where the road of q crossing may be today, does not offer safe ground for betting that it will he there tomorrow.

employment of several hundred more

joy the prosperity with u.s.
The increase effective December 16
is the second at the Steelton plant
since Charles NJ. Schwab took over
the old Pennsylvania Steel holdings
and the third during the present year.
The first increase of ten per cent.
was given under the old Pennsylvania
Steel regime on February ]. May l.,
shortly after the Bethlehem interests
bought in the control of the Steelton
plant another ten per cent. raise was
made. Now with the third increase
the steel workers employed at the
Steelton mills will be among the very
highest paid in the country.
Officials of the local plant did not
state how many thousands of dollars
year the new increase will boost the
company's payroll, but it will run into
big figures, it Is conceded.
The wage increase at the Central
Iron G. Steel plant shows the prosper

Schwab Purchases May
Mean Shorter P. R. R.
Line Across the State

South Bethlehem. Pa, Dec. Am
connection with recent reports that the
Pennsylvania Roilroad is seeking an
entrance to the Bethlehem Steel Works
and another outlet to New England
through control of the Lehigh and
New England Railroad. great interest
has been aroused by the rumor that
negotiations are under way for the
purchase of the Thomas Iron Com
pany by the Pennsylvania Steel Com
pany, recently acquired by Charles NJ.
Schwab.
Pig iron exclusively is manufactured
by the Thomas Iron Company, whose
most valuable asset is the Ironton
Railroad. a short line built many years
ago eight miles west of Hokendauqua
for the hauling the hematite ores.
Along this line the largest of the
cement mills of the Lehigh Valley are
located. Around this line may center
big scheme for the further develop
ment and extension of the Pennsylva-
MIA Railroad system .s.
In this connection the revival of talk
regarding the utilization of the old
South Penn railroad. in South Central
Pennsylvania, started away back in
the eighties by the Vanderbilts, is in
teresting. 1t is reported that Mr..
Schwab's plans for the development
of his Bethlehem Steel properties will
result In making the South Penn rail-
road new and more direct route for
the Pennsylvania railroad from New
York and Philadelphia to Pittsburgh
This much shorter route would be
meant primarily for n freight line, but
also would be available in fulfilling the
Pennsylvania's dream for a shorter
passenger route between Chicago and
New York. This expansion program
would also mean a new complete
oss-state line with the Bethlehems
and Steelton and the Schwab plants
in an advantageous position on It,
AS far as negotiations have pro-
gressed, the contemplated plan Is to
run line starting at Dauphin or Dun
cannon. which latter plan would neces-
state the building of a new railroad
bridge across the Susquehanna river,
through the Lykens Valley to Schuyl-
kill county and then to a point near
Tamaqua, where it would join the
Lehigh and New England railroad
This plan contemplates the purchase
of a half-interest or bare ma iority of
the latter railroads stock. This line
passes through Poughkeepsie and
thence over the New Haven system.
