Save All Your Cast-of
Articles For Collectors
For the Nursery Home

Articles ordinarily discarded will
be saved, collected and sold if the
present plan of the Nursery Home
works out as expected. Bags are be-
ing distributed throughout the city
ana heOsewives are requested to de-
post all cast-off articles in the bags
and when they are full notify the
Home or wait until collectors get
them. The plan has been very care
fully worked out and it is believed
it will prove a success.
A large number of children, some
times sixty, are cared for daily at
the home. When a shortage of funds
occur the officials are often at a loss
to devise means to keep the Home
financed. Applicants come in such
large numbers that at times they
cannot be taken care of. To help
every one who applies is the am
bition of the people in charge.
The things that should be saved
include almost everything that has a
marketable value yet which the aver
age housewife discards. Rags and
worn-out clothing of all sorts. auto
tires and metal should he taken care
of and put in the sanitary bags.

SECOND PAPER

The most extensive industrial plant
affected by the Capitol Park exten-
sion was the w. o. Hickok Manufac-
turing Company, otherwise known as
the Eagle Works." Established by
a leading citizen of the early Harris
burg. w. o. Hickok, in Strawberry
street east of Third, it was compell-
ed in 1914, to seek more extended
quarters and was located on a plot of
ground between State and North
streets, facing the Pennsylvania rail-
road. The motto of the industry
adopted by Mr.. Hickok when he be-
gan business was "Finis Coronet
opus" and that appears to have been
the guiding star of the management
during all succeeding years.
The original plot at North street
was enlarged by the purchase of the
Bay plant inclusive of the large brick
building in which the Bay Shoe
Manufacturing Company had done
ground on which were fourteen
buildings, of various sizes connected
with the diversified lines of manufac-
lures of the Eagle Works.
The various leading products of
the Eagle Works during the seventy
two years of its occupancy of the site
recently vacated, afford a striking
commentary on vast changes in eco
nomic conditions which have occurred
in our country in the passing of
three-fourths of a century. Early in
its history the leading products were
feed cutters and cider mills. With
these the Eagle Works scored their
initial success in all the rural por-
tions of the United States. Later,
when common school development
had commenced, school furniture
was the leading output. With ad-
vances in modern building methods
sash weights and cellar CRATES were
its prominent products. When the
bicycle fad was at its height, this
company took high rank amongst the
manufacturers of that article. And
so on, in innumerable cases that need
not be cited, the managers of the
plant founded by Mr.. Hickok were
always prompt in responding to a
popular demand for any article.
Such has been the excellence of
the bookbinding machinery manu-
factured at the Hickok plant that at
least thirteen foreign countries have
government printing offices.
1t was in the large brick building
of the Bay plant facing on State
street, which ultimately was absorb
ed by the Hickok Company that
most of the departments of the state
government were housed after the
burning of the Capitol.
The Eagle Works are now housed
in commodious buildings at an ad-
vantageous situation at Ninth and
Cumberland streets: while the Dau-
phin Cigar COMPANY which occupied
the large brick building after it was

GRAIN MOTH
RAVAGES ARE
DESTRUCTIVE
Farm Agent Tells How Raids
of Pests May Be
Averted

In the weekly bulletin issued by
H. G. Niesley, county farm agent,
he warns against the ravages of tho
grain moth that has done so much
damage in former years. Rules are
given to enable farmers to take pre-
cautionary measures. The bulletin
follows:
Undoubtedly the most important
question that is confronting the
farmers in the southern end of
Dauphin county is the Angoumois
grain moth.
With the bumper wheat crop now
In the barn, the question with the
farmer is shall we lose hundreds of
dollars worth of wheat, as we did
last year and year before, or shall
we be able to market our entire
crop.
This question the Dauphin Coun-
ty Farm Bureau will try to solve for
the farmers this year.
The original infestation occurs
during the summer while the grain
is still in the field. The moth lay
their eggs on the ripe heads If the
grain is still in the field or on the
wheat in stacks If 1T is already har-
vested. The grubs hatch from these
eggs, eat their way into the grain
t'A0 ASSdii6
During a warm fall they may become
full grown before winter and trans
formed within the grain to pupae,
from which the moths emerge. The
moths push their way out of the
grain and lay their eggs on the out
side of the kernels. These eggs hatch
if the weather is warm enough and
again eat their way into the grain
IT conditions are favorable, such as
is often the case when the grain is
stored in bins in barns, reproduction
continues throughout the year, sew
eral generations being produced. The
moths of the last generation hatch
during the latter part of spring or
in early summer. These resemble the
common clothes moths often found
in houses. being of yellowish or
buff color slightly marked in black.
and have narrow wings which when
open measure about three-fourths
of an inch across.
To Demonstrate
arrangements are now being
made by the county farm agent to
hold a number of actual demonstra-
tions, in the granaries of such farm
ers that are centrally located, and
on whose farms infestation was the
worst.
The immediate neighbors will b.
invited to ocme in and witness thes
demonstrations, in order that eacl

vacated by the state, is located at
State and Cameron streets.
Paxton Flour and Feed Co.
The Paxton Flour and Feed Com
pany organized in 1872 by John Hof-
fer, Levi Brandt and the James Nc
Cormick estate, occupied substantial
ly the entire square bounded by
State, Poplar and South streets and
the PENNSYLVANIA railroad. 1t soon
came to be recognized as one of the
leading grain shipping centers of
Central Pennsylvania. For forty five
years IT has been controlled by sub
stantially the same interests which
founded it, with the exception thai,
fourteen years after the organization,
Mr. Hoffer dropped out of the com.
pany. The Harrisburg Storage Com
pany, later organization. is con-
trolled by the same interests.
Early in the negotiations for the
purchase by the state of the proper
ties of the Capitol extension zone the
extensive plant of the two companies
was bought, the consideration being
$96,500. Both companies are now
located in eommodious and fully
equipped buildings in the South Sec
ond street business section, the de-
velopment of which during recent

seems destined to become one of the

found anywhere in our land.
The City Star Laundry
A prominent industrial building of
the section taken over by the state
ma hn -uefx- .f1f-
structure fronting in State street and
extending along West street to North
alley. 1t was erected originally by
Edward Moeslein for the housing of
some of the manufacturing industries
of which he has been the founder
during a busy life. 1t was purchased
subsequently by William E. Orth.
long extensively identified with Har-
risburg's laundry interests, who made
two extensive enlargements of the
original building.
With the passing of the "Old
Eighth" Mr.. Orth secured ground
in North Sixth, and erected there q
massive four-story industrial plant
which occupies almost an entire
square between Boas and Herr
streets. extending back from Sixth to
Sarah street. One floor is occupied
by one of the Moeslein industries,
the Harrisburg Apparel Company,
Inc, of which w, E. Dietrich is pres
ident and Alonzo G. Lehman, man

Another prominent apparel manu-
featuring industry which had been
located in the State street building
was the Jennings Manufacturing
Company. founded by John c. Jen-
nings, his son. Edwin d. Jennings,
being now associated with him. This
thriving company is now in a finely

equipped plant extending from 2012
to POPS North Fourth street.
The National and the Market

equipped plant extending from 2012
to 2028 North Fourth street.
The National and the Market
There is one building of the "Old
Eighth" long a conspicuous land
mark of the city, that will not re-
appear in any other location. This
is the National Hotel, at the inter-
section of Fourth and State streets,
and the adjacent markethouse, wide
ly known as the State street market.
The plot on which these buildings
stood was long a vacant lot after
East State street, as the wide ave-
nue.. east of the Capitol was popu-
larly termed, had been built up
densely. The brick building so well
known as the National was erect
ed about 1870, but for many years
only a portion of the structure was
used for hotel purposes. Under var
ious landlords it does not appear to
have been pronounced success at
first, and at one time lost its license
for several years.
When, however, in 1885, Fred w.
Ebel, became its landlord it acquired
a prominence and reputation which
continued with it to the end. Its
proximity to the Capitol and SSe ex-
cellence of its management made = q
favorite resort for many statesman
anu pOIltiCldU Ol the past.
The State street market, held in
building annexed to the National,
was not at first a financial success
and proved so great a white elephant
to the original company that it soon
passed into the hands of private in
dividual.
The day markets at this location
never amounted to much and were
poorly patronized by both sellers and
buyers but the Saturday night mar
ket was a whole three-ring circus
with something doing every minute.
For years the vicinity of the State
street market on Saturday nights.
gave the police of the city an oppor-
tunity to feel that they were earn
ing their salaries.
A former city editor of one of the
Harrisburg newspapers, now occupy

town, Ohio, had quaint way of get

inevitable Saturday night riot call
came in from the "Old Eighth; then

zone of trouble. The thick of the
melee was liable to be anywhere
along State street from Fourth ao
Cowden. But wherever it was the
men of the patrol were sure to find
brickbats flying through the atmos-
phere or razors shining and gleam-
ing in the electric light.

Thirteen Deaths of Heat

deaths during the night increased
the list of yesterdays heat victims
to thirteen. OF the 500 or more who
Nwere prostrated several were re-
ported early to-day to be in seri-
Gus condition and it was feared some

The intense heat continued
throughout the night, with a drop in
temperature of less than 10 degrees
from the maximum of 101 registered
yesterday afternoon. When the last
official reading was taken at mid
night the thermometer stood at 80
and with a high percentage of
humidity the drop in temperature
afforded but slight relief.
Thousands of persons slept in the
parks, squares and recreation piers,
while in the congested districts every
available roof was occupied by fami-
lies seeking relief.
