ll5HHlE gITW selected to COM
kS94U0SWx mand units and it
is expected that
emls in a short time
some of the infantry companies will

service. From what has been learn
ed here some of the officers ap-
pointed have already secured the
men for formation of companies.
Adjutant General Beary, who is
engaged in drafting the instructions
for the Militia officers, is arranging
for the new units to occupy state
owned armories. The state will turn
over to the federal government such
armories as are requested, 1t was
learned today. The only armory

iment in Philadelphia.
General Beary has received the ac-
ceptance of all officers appointed TO
the Reserve Militia, some OF whom
have certified that they were anX-
ious to begin work organizing their
commands. Some of the men who
have applied for appointment by the
Governor to organize units have
sent word that they can get the men
without difficulty.
The state has practically all of the
equipment needed either in hand or
in progress of manufacture.
New Pipe Line Moyes-The Public
Service Commission has listed for

the Pure Oil Company, whose Penn
sylVania and New Jersey companies

the Ohio company certain lines. The
papers indicate that 1t will afford

been working on the plans for the
midwinter exhibition of the corn,
apples, potatoes, wool, dairy products
and other things raised on the farm
TO be held in Harrisburg during
agricultural week." the corn show
ing will be one of the greatest ever
known here. Inquiries have been
made from almost every county and
the people writing say that boys
corn clubs will prove quite factor
The state has been districted for
competition in corn and potatoes
with allowance made for boys and
and girls clubs. The idea is to get
the very best of both products and
to have the seed carefully conserved.
An elaborate system of classification
which will start lively competition
has been worked out. There will
also be competition in butter, eggs,
wool, apples and other articles and
the showing of apples is expected to
be notable. The Pennsylvania pip
pin has taken tremendous strides
and the results of the extensive or
chard work lately will be shown.

made for enlistment of a number of
additional men for the state police
force next month as vacancies have
