IutlOn IneTeIOr OF Serlal pupllSd-
tions. Some of the bulletins are four
and five months behind time and
when issued are frequently unseason-
able. It is now planned to consoli-
date a number of the bulletins and
to then issue them by numbers,
avoiding the seasonal bulletins ex-
cept where necessary.
In several of the departments the
material for reports is being
vigorously edited and special articles
are now taboo. Some of the pub
lications which have been put out
containing extended addresses will
either be curtailed or abandoned
because of the high prices of ma
terial and labor.
perts of the State Department of
Agriculture have figured out that a
March pullet, laying by September l,
should be worth from $1.10 to 50 this
year, according to the purity of the
breed. The question was recently
put before the poultry experts be-
cause of requests made by people
for recommendation for good hens
for winter laying. The chief factor
that entered into the calculations,
according to the men at the Depart
feed.
To Argue Escheat Case.-Arrange-
ments are being made for argument
of the test of the State escheat law

To Issue Order.-As soon as Gov
ernor Brumbaugh returns an order
the death of General
Stewart will be issued at the Capitol.
Five Arrested. - Five men have
been arrested and fined in eastern
counties on charges of violating the
child labor law. The men worked
their employees overtime.
Ex-Member Dead. - Ex-Repre-
sentative S. H. Hunter. of Mercer
county, was buried yesterday at
Sharon. He was formerly sheriff of
Mercer county.
No More Enlistments.-There will
be no enlistments for the State police
for a time. The men recently en-
listed are now being trained.
To Meet Next Wcek.-The State
Board of Public Grounds and Build
ings will meet next week to act on
bids for the new harm at the State
Hospital.
Twenty-Five Years. = Charles r.
Willitts, of the State Department, is
being congratulated upon complet-
ing twenty-five years in State service.
He is one of the most capable men
on the "Hill."
Hearings Held. - The Western
Pennsylvania grade crossing cases
were completed yesterday by the
Public Service Commission and de-
cisions will be issued next week.
American Company Chosen.-The
State Insurance Fund managers have
decided to insure the catastrophe
hazard of the State Workmen's In
surance Fund in the American Re-
insurance Company, an American
concern, up to S250,000. The insur-
ance had been carried in the British
Lloyds.

continued for some time; and long
before 1t ceased, the Sons of Rest
were in a state bordering on exhaus-

brains,

The Sons of Rest this morning by
unanimous vote decided to disre-
gard as piffling the query as to how
the Sunday Courier folks will get
the derrick off the roof of their
new building in Third street. It
seems that some person with abnor-
NAL imaginations believed that the
closing of the holes through which
the derrick was taken to the roof
would interfere with its decent. The
Sons of Rest were not so deluded.

sun-kissed September morning de-

Many Already I'm France
All Harrisburg contingents are To-
Gated at Camp Hancock, near Au-
gusta, Ga, but this number takes no
account of hundreds from this place
who are already in France.
About forty men from this place
are now seeing service in France in
the Bell Telephone signal corps and
many Harrisburgers were included
in the Nineteenth Regiment of En-
g.A,ers. which landed on French soil
two weeks ago.
A large number of Harrisburg re-
cruits are at Gettysburg in the infan-
try regiments which are being formed
at that place for the regular army.
This city has contributed literally in
men to the navy, and the signal
reserve corps here has recruited $50
men. These young men may be
mustered into the service at any
time.
/ Hundreds have gone from this
city to the barracks at Columbus,
Ohio, to fill positions in the medical
department, aviation corps and en-
gineering battalions in the regular
army.
And Recruiting Goes On
Harrisburg contributed a great
many officers who were trained at
Niagara, Plattsburg, Madison Bar
racks and Fort Benjamin Harrison.
The latter camp is located near In
dianapolis, Ind. Thirty officers in
the making from this city and the
immediate vicinity are now in train
inS at Fort Oglethorpe. Ga
More than two hundred men, it is
estimated. have enlisted in other
states giving Harrisburg as their resi-
dence.
Among the numerous officers who
occupy commands not represented at
Camp Hancock. Colonel Samuel
Mcpherson Rutherford may be
prominently mentioned. Colonel
Rutherford. who is in the cavalry
service. is stationed at Camp Dix.
1t is difficult to accurately esti-
mate the number of recruits fur
nished to date by Lemoyne. Mechan-
icsburg, Steelton, Enofa, Marysville
and other towns near this city.
1t Is believed by persons who have
made a careful study of the figures
that Harrisburg has already con-
tributed not less than two thousand
men. and the recruiting goes stead
lily on.
