Commission to Meet-The State
Commission to select a site for the
new State Institute For Inebriates
will meet here shortly for organiza-
ton. A site in Perry or Cumberland
counties Is suggested.
Observing Roads-Highway Com
missioner O'Neil is having observa-
tions made by district engineers and
county superintendents of the effect
of the motor traffic on the state high
ways this year. In some sections of
the state, main highways have not
only been subjected to more traffic
than ever by pneumatic tired We
hicles, but the truck movement has
Increased largely. This is due to the
movement of trucks across the state
from western states to the seaboard
and large cities and to inauguration
of local truck services between towns
due to railroad congestion. Charters
/ for a number of local transit COM
panies have been granted lately.
Apple Crop Falls-Estimates made
by state officials from reports of ap-
pie growers show that the state ap-
pie crop has fallen considerably
short of the average. In some sec
tions of Southern Pennsylvania
the crop is not sixty per cent. OF
what it had been running the last
Eve years. The new apple grading law
is now in effect and reports indicate
a general Observance. The pear yield
! of the state is also below what it has
been the last four years. Last year
there were over half million bushels
of pears raised in Pennsylvania.
VIII BE Active-The officers of the
new State Poultry Association will
begin formation of organizations in
each county of the state next month
and arrangements have been made
| for recognition of the association by
the State Department of Agriculture
and also. for representation on the
state board. Members OF the three
organizations which have merged
into the new association will be asked
to assist in working out a plan fol-

BRAV L MEN.


u RAVE MEN are they who seek the
y Zoe, upon the waters or the heath,
who fight until they're stricken
low, and, smiling, greet the face OF
death. And some are brave who are
not called to WELD the sword in dead
ly charge, because they are too short
or bald, because their trilby's are too
large On them a heavy burden lies
they are the men who raise the price,
to send the allies guns and pies, and
clothes and succotash and rice Among
them there are noble souls who bear
the burden with a smile, they're glad
to strip their slender rolls, and think
the sacrifice worth while Some men
had found the shedding hard before the
day OF war arrived it broke them buy
ing beans and lard, they wondered how
they e'er survived. But, now the coun-
try needs more mon, they cry. Some
way we'll dig the dust, to buy our

bones or bust" The cheerful spirit
these men show is Just as fine as mar
