"Why not call the State highway
connecting Harrisburg and Lancaster
the Penn-Lin highway?" asked Cow
ernor Brumbaugh, this morning in
talking about the States highway sys-
TENS, the William Penn, the Lincoln,
the Sullivan Trail and others which
have been much heard of. DO you
know?" continued the Governor, that
this section of highway Is not part
of any of these systems? Moreover:
Pennsylvania. Lancaster was settled
early and the traders and settlers go
ing farther West from 1t came up TINS
way and brought your Harris Ferry,
the beginning of your city. into being.
The point l want to make is that
there should be some distinctive name
for this link. The William Penn high
way goes from Harrisburg by way OF
the Lebanon valley and the Lincoln
highway goes to Gettysburg by way or
Lancaster. They go in opposite direc-
tions and here Is very much travelled
road which connects them. Why not
give 1t a name which refers to both
of the big highways? Incidentally.
this highway is not only historic but
it goes through rich country Lam
caster is famous all over the world
for the wealth of its farms Here in
Dauphin county is the State Capital.
| 1t strikes me that Penn-Lin Is q pretty
good name for 1t and some day when
the State has the money We can re-
move the tollgates and still more peo-
pie will travel over it,"
The coincidence of the calls for
statements of all national banks and
of all banking institutions coming un-
der the supervision of the State was
remarked upon by many people yes
terday and the report of the amounts
of money held will be awaited with
much interest, for 1T will literally show
all Of the money held by the banking
institutions of the State. Incidentally.

l. Frank F. Stevick, who celebrated
his sixtieth birthday by riding a BIZ
cycle sixty miles, has some rules of
living that he follows closely in his
own life and which he says will keep
any man young. Here they are: SO
Live frugally and take lots of exer-
else. e
Don't drink and don't use tobacco.
Eat what seems good to You OF
wholesome food in reasonable guam
tity; never eat when you are not
hungry and always give your stom-
ach something when it asks for it.
Live as much in the open air as
possible and take plenty of exercise.
Be cheerful-about home as much
as at your work-and make a chum
of your wife.
Don't worry, always look on tho
bright side of life and don't be afraid
to do turn for another
Some of these don't sound like
health rules" said Stevick, when he
gave his list to a reporter, but be-
lieve me, they all enter into the state
of health and l observe every one of
them every day of my life and feel the
better for it."
George G. Hutchison, of Warriors
Mark, who studies the agricultural af-
fairs of the State by day and dreams
of their greatness at night, is here for
the Methodist conference. Mr.. Hutchi-
kson is a prominent Methodist Iayman
and has long been identified with it's
work in Huntington county.
Judging from the number of green
] patches seem from Reservoir Park
knobs there has been a considerable
, acreage of farm lands hereabouts de-
voted to raising wheat this year. The
! wheat season here was an excellent
one and the prices were large. Natur-
, ally, there will be a large acreage
: sown and this appears to be the case
in Dauphin, Cumberland and Perry
counties. There are wheat fields high
up in the York hills and out along the
3 Linglestown road which are coming
I along although sown late.
! IF these cold winds keep up we'll
r have to fire up the hot chocolate ma
chine" said a soda fountain man last
q evening. The ice cream business is
r going all right but I've been asked by
= a good many If have some hot things.
The typhoid scare is over and people
| have been making up for lost time on
Ice cream, but a touch of Jack Frost
! boosts the hot chocolate business"
The new golf course of the Country
, Club of Harrisburg, which will be the
largest of it's kind in this part of the
. State, is attracting attention of golfers
! in 'other cities and has been visited
! the last few weeks by men from Ian
! caster, York, Reading and even Phil
adelphia. The course will be in the
midst of notable surroundings and
some of the holes will be decidedly
sporty" The members are eagerly
3 awaiting next summer when it is
hoped to open 1t with big golf day.
= The high price of Thanksgiving tur-
; key is going to be responsible for a
4 demand for goose. Last year a lot of
people who had turned up their noses
:, at goose found that it was a very fine
! dish and there were more ganders and
s geese and goslings eaten between
r Thanksgiving morning and New Years
s eve than could be acknowledged just
h now. Some grocers say that they
r have had a number of inquiries for
5 prices on goose and they are securing
I the country with rubber heels for
{ fear that the farmers will boost the
/ prices.
