try to make each day a day Of accom-

steadily by striving diligently. We are
alert to please and keen to avoid mis-.
representation because when distrust
comes over the threshold confidence
flies out Of the dor. This is store of

have failed to conserve the quantity
of fuel hoped for by the fuel admin

GRAFTON to stop all outdoor lighting,
except street. lights, at least three

Institution of "lightless nights

restricted illuminated signs to GER

Samuel H. Wallace Is Dead
at His Philadelphia Home

News has been received here of
the death of Samuel H. Wallace, in
Philadelphia. Mr.. Wallace, who was
aged So, was general agent in charge
of the Broad Street Station, Phila-
delphia, until he retired on age. Fu-
neral services will be held from his
home in Philadelphia, this evening.
His body will be brought to Harris
burg where it will be buried to-mor-
row in the Harrisburg Cemetery.
An interesting story is revealed IN
the life of Mr.. Wallace. In the years
between SO and 81, he was chief
clerk to his brother, Thomas l..
Wallace, who was freight agent for
the Pennsylvania Railroad in this
city. At that time there were but
two men in the entire freight of
flee, in strong contrast to the eff1-
cient present-day clerical force.
Mr.. Wallace is survived by his
brother, Thomas l.. Wallace, 2l4
Pine street, and by Mrs. Samuel j.
M. McCarrell, wife of Judge McCar-
rell.
He was the son of Robert and
Jane Hempfield Wallace and was
born at Huntingdon, October 4,
1882. His early life was spent in
Clearfeld. He came to Harrisburg
as assistant to his brother and in
1866 was made ticket agent in Phll-
adelphia.

selbyville, Del, Dec. 11.-speculat-
ors who attempted to hold potatoes
for higher price this winter are
threatened with ruin from heavy
decay of potatoes in hundreds of
storage houses. Rotten potatoes are
being hauled out by the wagonloads
and dumped into the creeks.
The storage men say they must get
$1.75 hamper for sweet potatoes to
avoid losing money. as such a price
is unheerd of, it is certain that there
is to be a heavy loss among those
who bought sweet potatoes and held
them for a high price. A wet season
before the potatoes were dug is
blamed for the large amount of rot
