survivors of the five Pennsylvania
organizations in the battle to attend.
These men, will come from various
parts of Pennsylvania, including
Philadelphia and Pittsburgh. There
will be a special train from this
state leaving next week and the cele-
bration will extend from October IA

been invited to represent the state.
The regiments taking part in the

Mules in Dcmand.-Prices for
mules in Pennsylvania are soaring
because of the heavy demand due to
the war, according to price reports
coming to the State Department of
Agriculture. In many cases prices
are double and triple what they were
three years ago and districts where
mules used to be generally raised
have been unable to supply farmers
and contractors. Good pairs of
mules have been so much in demand
that some farmers report a dozen or
more offers for them this summer.
The situation in regard to the mules
developed because of inquiries made
at the department for information as
to where to buy the animals. One
result of the scarcity of mules is an
increase in the use of motor ma
chinery, it is reported at the capitol
Opinion Given.-The Public Serv-
ice Commission in an opinion rem
dered by Commissioner Ryan has di-
rected that the Delaware, Lackawan-
ma and Western railroad in eliminat-
ing the switch located at Kingsley,
SuSquehanna county, make changes
in grades and surface a part of
road. In the hearing of the case
testimony was presented that the
people of the town subscribed money
to build a station forty years ago and
they contended relocation was vio-
lating an agreement.
Name Prccmpted.-The name of
the Town Meeting party was pre-
empted for the state election of 1918
by the committee named at the meet
ing held in Philadelphia last week
to make nominations.
Increases Filed.-Notices of in
crease of rates, for natural gas and
other services have been filed with
the Public Service Commission by
the Equitable Gas and five other
companies operating In Allegheny
and other western counties and by
gas companies in Glenshaw and
Sheffield Other increase notices
filed were for taXicabs in Erie; gas
in Athens, Sayre and vicinity, and
electricity in Towanda.
Compensation Meetings. The
Compensation Board has announced
hearings in Johnstown October II
and Altoona, October IS.

able that the board of trustees of
