LOST MOUNTAIN

The farmers feel very much graf
flied at the long needed rains that
have fallen. There are many bad
stands of corn and cotton on account
Of the dry weather.
John c. Pickens was stricken last
week with paralysis
Mr., Boil Weevil has gained good
deal OF notoriety for his havoc with
the cotton crop but why the gov
eminent waste all their ammunition
on Mr.. Weevil when the 'tater" bug
and red bug is fostering us SO much
right here every day. 1t is claimed
the boil weevil will live on a red hot
stove, The "tater" bug has some
resisting powers itself. You can
pick them off the vines, pour boiling
water on them and the next morning
they Will be up bright and early in
the later patch. Let's begin at
home. Ne time to fool with Mr..
Weevil, we've got other bugs to
keep us awake at night.
II you will so to any store and

most everything and they will tell
you the worst has not come and its

may be true in some instances but
not in every case. If this matter was
investigated it would be found some
body is specializing and making
large profits. The dishonest dealer
takes advantage of these conditions.

Why not pick out a farmer and a
business man with good "hoss"

are coming up before the legislature
that will have to be settled We
need honest men to guard this leg

The British army has been getting it's

from the border States have enlisted,

stranded without money to live on or
to pay his passage home. Persons dis
charged from the British service are
not allowed to wear the British uniform
thereafter, so the erstwhile soldier may
not even have a coat to his back. The
State Department has no funds appro-

requires that a deposit big enough to

Cincinnati, for instance, there is Ger

DIR. MARSHALL'S DEATH

TINE death of the Rev. DR.. William
II. Marshall removed from
Harrisburg one of its best
known and most useful citizens. DIR.
Marshall's activities covered a wide
ield. He was we'll known as an edu-
Gator, prominent as a minister, power
gul as a writer and beloved as a man.
Very few men have contributed more
10 the cause Of good citizenship in
this city than DIR. Marshall. His in
luence was always for the best He
left his impress upon the rising gem
Grafton of his race and his recognized
place in society will be a constant en-
couragement to those who remain to
carry on his work. He had his strug-
giles and his discouragements. but he
kept them to himself. His face was
always toward the bright vision of a
hopeful future. He was a believer in
his race and in their opportunities in
America, and he illustrated in his own
career the point he always tried to
make-that there is room at the top
for all who use their talents for good
and strive courageously and persis-
tently, and that the world bows to
virile leadership in any man, no mat
ter who or what he be.

PERsHING AND FUNSTON

A least in one respect the troops
n that are hurrying into Mexico
after Francisco Villa are pre-
pared" They are led by men who
know thoroughly the lob" to which
they have been set. Brigadier Gem
eral Pershing. in actual command of
the expedition, has an excellent
reputation as rough country cam
paigner. AS fighting commander
he won the praise of the Government
and the wholesome respect of the
wild Moro tribes of the Philippine
archipelago. Pershing is a past mas
ter of the art of warfare in such con-
ditions as he is now facing. And to
back him up he has Funston. the man
who captured Aguinaldo. and
thereby put the finishing touches to
the campaign that crushed the
Filipino rebellion. He knows as much
about fighting savages as does Perish
ing, If not more, and he may be relied
upon to lend sympathetic ear to any
requests that the commander of the
expedition may make. 1t will be
through no fault of these two brave
and trained soldiers If Villa is not
caught. They are the two greatest
assets of the United States in Mexico.

OUR FUTURE CITIZENS

DABY WEEK has passed! Not so
ID its memory, nor its benefits, for
1t has left a mark that will not
be effaced. The stamp of enlighten-
ment and better care which it has
placed upon the minds of a host of
mothers in this city and environs will
produce it's effect in years to come on
the physical welfare of those tots for
whom all the preparations incident to
the welfare exhibit were made.
1t has been said that "a babe in a
house is a well-spring of pleasure" !"
If the ratio of pleasure to numbers in
creases directly and if Tupper's sage
observance is correct, which we doubt
not, then indeed must the many
babies whose presence at the exhibit
caused much bustling about and much
frankly expressed admiration have
accomplished a deep drainage of the
well-spring of this city's pleasure.
For the babies came, were seen, and
conquered in such a way as to leave
no doubt in the minds OF any that
Harrisburg's babies are supreme.
1t was a splendid exhibit and most
capably managed. With but little
previous experience to guide them,
the executive committee and those
who so kindly and unselfshly CO.
operated worked steadily and ardu-
ously and accomplished results con-
siderably beyond their somewhat too
modest expectations. Getting off to a
bad start by reason of the inclement
weather, the attendance increased
day by day until the quadrupled
force of examining physicians and
nurses was not sufficient to adequately
handle the many babies who were
brought in to Bowman's store for in
spection, and the floor space was taxed
TO its utmost capacity to handle the
crowds. Never was such an en-
thusiastic tribute paid to King Baby
May his Royal Highness return to us
next year in even better condition and
sin still greater numbers that we may
bow the head in humble submission
TO his greater glory.
The executive committee expresses
itself as extremely grateful to the
Visiting Nurses Association. the City
Health Department the Associated
Aid Societies, the State Health
Department, the Pure Milk Society
and all the merchants and organiza-
tions whose splendid support and CO.
operation made possible the best baby

THE DAY OF REST

tFrom the Phila. Public LEDGER
The industrial board of the State
Department of Labor and Industry has
ruled that women in hotel employ
ment must be given a rest day of
twenty-four hours during the week,
though in the case of short-time sum-
mer hotels this period is divisible into
two breathing spaces of twelve hours
each. The rule that definite sched-
ules must be made out and posted will
assist in the enforcement of this wise
regulation. A reputable and well-con-
Quoted hotel finds it a business ad-
vantage as well as a humane proce-
dure to insist on rest for its employees
as stringently as on work. The hotels
that have dealt fairly by the helpers
on the payroll will not complain of
the ruling. They have found by ex-
perience that they get better service
from employees who are contented. A
business enterprise cannot be mod
ern and fail to make the same dis
covery. The stores and factories are
aware that it pays to make the en-
ployes comfortable and to treat them
with consideration. Ordinarily it is
not work that dehumanizes the work
er. but the conditions under which the
labor is performed.

THE STATE FROM DAY TO-DAY

The fact that it pays to advertise is
being appreciated more and more in
every line of endeavor, none more so
than from community standpoint.
City planning is becoming one of the
biggest assets of a metropolis or a
hamlet and Philadelphia, the once
sleepy village, is now become awake
under the strenuous administration of
Mayor Smith and is humping herself
for all she is worth. y city publicity
board has been advocated to aid
boosting of the city, and the need of
advertising, education, and censorship
is being given careful and thoughtful
consideration.
1t was with some surprise that we
beheld u headline in Harrisburg's S
morning paper, "Brumbaugh Again
For Local Option" Why again"
The statement appeared in a Phila-
delphia paper yesterday morning that
the Susquehanna is frozen nine inches
thick for a hundred miles from Nc
Falls Ferry to Clark's Ferry, but un-
less our eyes deceive us the Susque-
hanna is flowing along at the same old
rate of speed right in front of Har-
risburg's steps.
A tramp known as Rocky" was
shot yesterday morning while ascend
ing stairway in the home of Walter
Rauler, of Bedford. He has visited
that section for over fifteen years and
presumably received his name from
the nature of the path which he
travelled.
Pittsburgh celebrated the centennial
of it's Incorporation as a city on
Saturday last with a big parade in
which the Governor, the two Sena
tors, the Mayor and other city Off
cials participated
The Huntingdon Valley Hunt Of a
few days ago unearthed a mysterious
animal that defed all pursuit and
caused much excitement on the part
of the hounds. What is it?" Name
1t and you can have it," and other
equally futile suggestions resulted in
nothing. and the poor detected hounds
for tho first time had to acknowledge
themselV outwitted.
