Additional Floor Space
Needed at Livingston S

Building operations which quietly
have been going on at Livingstons, 8
South Market Square, for the past
month and which rapidly are nearing
completion, will give to this store in
creased facilities which the growing
business demands.
These building operations involve
the addition in the rear of the store
of approximately $500 square feet of
floor space, which will be acquired by
joining to the main store room the
building at the rear, facing on Court
street. An attractive plate glass front
will be installed in Court street, and
brilliantly illumined with an extensive
lighting system.
The interior of the store will be fit
ted with new display cases and fix
lures. The additional floor space will
be utilized in enlarging the various
departments, chiefly that devoted to
women's, misses and children's ap-
parel
1t is expected that the improve
ments will be completed in the course
of the next week or ten days, follow
ing which a formal opening will be
held at the store, full particulars re-
garding which will be announced in
due time.

Some Guardsmen Plan
to Enter u. S. Army

A number of the guardsmen who
have recently returned from the bor-
der are enlisting in the regular United
States Army, according to Captain
William +. Harrell, in charge of the
recruiting station in this city. Sew
eral men, from Companies ID and
that arrived home yesterday visited
the station in the Bergner building
this morning and few signified their
intention of enlisting.
Captain Harrell lis greatly pleased
as Il result of these enlistments, for,
he says, they will serve to correct the
impression that is broadcast that the
army is not Il desirable environment
for ones boys to grow up in. The men
who have been down on the border for
nearly year should know what a SOL
dier's life is, thinks Captain Harrell.
and when they re-enlist it is worth
telling people about.
The Harrisburg recruiting station
sent 1852 men off to the army this
month, as compared to 20 in January
and "a last December. But this is
far below what the figures should be,
declared Captain Harrell.

BIG FIGHT BILL
FOR LOCAL FANS
Bill" Mehring Has Arranged
Classy Program For Wednes-
day Night

The Keystone Sporting Club. he; ded
by Bill" Mehring, has completed ar
rangements for a boxing show to be
held on Wednesday night of this week.
Promoter Mehring feels sure that he
has matched fighters who will give the
Harrisburg fans a good entertain
ment
The windup will be between Johnnie
Wolgast, of Cadillac, Mich, and kid
Alberts, of Frederick, Md. This will be
Wolgast's first appearance before Har-
risburg fans. He has been making his
home in Lancaster for some time with
Frank Erne, and this husky little
fighter and promoter, who is well
known her, has charge of his training.
Recently Wolgast gained decisive vic
tories over Morris Wolf, who halls from
the Quaker City and Herman Miller,
who signs Baltimore behind his name.
Albert is a plucky fighter, and, although
he was outpointed here several weeks
ago by Mcguire, he showed gameness
and lighting ability and the match on
Wednesday night promises to be even
better than the previous one.
Dick Wills, of Philadelphia. will eX-
change fistcufs with Billy Waltz, of
Lancaster in the semiwindup. Both
of these boys are out for victory and
as Waltz claims the featherweight
championship of Pennsylvania, he will
fight his hardest to win. Wills is also
a clever fighter and will make Waltz
extend himself if he wishes to win
The second bout will be between Kid"
Smith, of Columbia. and George kid"
Alberts, of Reading. Smith has ap-
peared at the local club on previous
occasions and has always put up a
good fight. He is a favorite with the
fans, here. The opening round will also
he of a high order and will be between
Paul Coyne, of Lancaster and kid"
BretZ of Steelton. Both are clever little
lads with a punch. who are Just break

suffering existed among the poor, and
by the Mayors food supply committee.
1t was endorsed by Governor Whitman.
who summed up Eis view of the situa-
ton by saying: THE people have SIM
ply got to cat what they can afford
to eat"
The food supply committee sent 20
homes throughout the city by means
of public school children one million
circulars urging citizens to eat rice in
stead of potatoes, onions and cabbage.
George w. Perkins, chairman of this
committee, asserted that New York
city might expect only slight reduc-
tions in food prices unless tie people
made up their minds to adopt subsi-
tutes for expensive foodstuffs. Enough
rice is available at a low price, he
said, to afford relief until legislation
can be taken.
Public hearings will begin at Albany
on the Wicks bill creating a State De-
partment of Foods and Markets. Gov
ernor Whitman, who has been here
since Friday night devoting nearly all
his time to the food situation, SAID
that while prices were unquestionably
high throughout the State he found
no conditions elsewhere resembling
those in New York city The Cover
nor received personal proof of advan-
cling prices yesterday when he found
many dishes on the menu at the no.
tel where he is staying cost 10 cents
more than on Saturday.
Grocers Join Boycott
The Department of Health, in a re-
port to the Mayor, found that mark
ed increase in the export of staple
foodstuffs had a great influence in
raising prices, but declared neverthe-
less that there was less dependency
and real need in the city than had been
common for many years past. At the
same time the department reported
that families whose incomes were $500
a year or less would suffer by their
inability to buy sufficiently nourishing
food at TIE present prices. The re-
port urged that the poor be educated
to buy food more intelligently and said
that the well-to do might contributed
toward this education, but altering
habits of carelessness and eXtrava-
gance in their homes"
A number of retail grocers to-day
Joined consumers in the boycott
against potatoes, onions and chickens,
and agreed not to sell these articles.
