MOVING PICTURES
AT INSTITUTES
New Ideas For the Series of
Farmers Meeting Through
out the Commonwealth

Plans for systematic use of NOV
sing pictures as an adjunct to prac-
y tical talks on ways to increase food
production are being worked out by
the State Department of Agriculture
in conjunction with the State Defense
Commission. The institute will start
on November 13 and run until about
March is and the whole course of
lectures will be of the horse sense
.and speed up variety. The State De-
5fense Commission, which has kept
the farm counselorS at work since
the adjournment of the Legislature
as a means of stimulating raising of
.foodstuffs, has arranged to give ex-
3tensive aid through the counselors
|and to provide some additional
speakers. The questions asked by
Farmers the last year will be studied
n order to afford the greatest
hmount of information.
Special lectures in potato culture.
dairying, poultry husbandry and soils
will be a feature in the five sections
n which the State has been divided
for the carrying on of the Institutes.
n addition there will be instructions
on apiary work in the bee sections or
r the sections where much fruit
s grown and the bee is needed for
polination. There will be a new move
n the introduction of moving pic
ures to show the various phases of
successful farming and beekeeping
At the various Institutes the Penn
Bylvania Commission on Public Safe
y and Defense will have speakers to
ak on food production and conser-
ration and it is likely that the Unit
.hd States government will have
speakers to talk on matters which
ire now being worked out in Wash
rston. A large corps of speakers
ire now being trained in Washington
o assist in the Farmers Institute
work.

GREAT IMPROVEMENT
N ROMAN STREETS

During the past ten days the con
crete curbin& on the south side of
Central Avenue has set and the
forms have been removed, grading
completed and the first layer of
gravel placed ON the street, and the
clan&c in the appearance of the
street Is striking. While the work
Is hardly begun, the most casual OBJ
server would note the Improvement
and forescc the uItmat result, As
the gravel does not extend to the
cnrbing, Stanley Scarce has decided
to gravel the intervening space in
front of his store at his own ypenSc,
and it Is probable that others will do
likewise, provided the city does not
decide to make the extension The
weather man has favored the street
work, for barring one cold period, the
working conditions have been ideal.

TOWAI1 ECLIPSE OF
sun IN JUNE

According to expert astronomers
throughout the country, there will be
a total eclipse of the sun on June 8,
1918, which will be visible in it's
totality along a sixty mile strip ex-
tending across the United States
from the southwestern corner of the
state of Washington on the Pacific
coast to Florida on the Atlantic
Astronomers consider themselves un-
usually fortunate in their opportun-
ity for observing this eclipse, one of
the seven visible in the United
States during the present century,
in that the center line of this sixty
mile strip passes within four miles
of the observatory at Denver uni
versity, where photographs will be
taken.
TO guard against unfavOrabie
weather conditions, another expedi-
tion from the Yerkes observatory
Will be stationed at Green River,
Wyo., which also is near the center
line of the path of the eclipse. There
will not be another total eclipse Wis
ibl in the United States until 1945.
Two hours, fifteen minutes and
twenty-one and fve-tenths seconds
will elapse from the time the moon
first intervnes between the sun and
the earth and the sun will be totally
obscured for a period of SS.7 seconds.
