the shooting was kept secret, and
the gun from which the bullet came
is also missing. 1t was an old shot
gun. used by the boys for some
time, and no one dreamed that it
was loaded.
The injured lad was given first-aid
by Sergeant George Jorgensen, of the
aviation camp. who was at the boys
hcme when the shooting occurred.
He was later taken to a surgeon,
who dressed the wound. The boy is
a son of Mr.. and Mrs. Joseph Elberti,

of the ElDerti property after school
hours.
Tests Sentry
The boys have fitted up headquar-
ters. including a readingroom. Since
the organization started daily drills
have been in order and one boy is
on guard during the meetings, which
last from $50 to $40 p. m. Last
night young Elberti, who is one of
the officers, planned to test the sem
try and made a detour of the build
ing. The sentry was wide awake, and
when no answer came to the query.
who goes there?" the sentry called
out, IF you move I'll shoot" and he
did.
None of the boys could explain
about the shell in the gun. 1t was
an old feldpiece that had been used
in drills for several weeks. Brooms
and sticks were also used as arms.
The bullet passed through the leg
above the ankle and lodged in a
schoolbook that had been dropped by
one of the boys. 1t is thirty-two
caliber in size. Fortunately, in pene-
trating the leg the ball plowed
through the flesh. hitting no bone.

THE RED CROSS
School Children Eager to Do
Something to Help
Win War

Within a day or so a list of
schools of Harrisburg and Dauphin
county which are 100 per cent
strong in Junior Red Cross member
ships is to be published, but in the
meantime it is interesting to know
that nearly $4,000 pupils in the city
and surrounding districts are Junior
Red Cross members.
Mrs. Lyman ID. Gilbert this morn
ing furnished the following figures
showing enrollments up to March l:
Harrisburg public schools -. S,666
Harrisburg parochial schools. 673
Harrisburg private schools. 6S
Perry County Public Schools. 1000
Cumberland county ..... 1,035
Dauphin, outside city ... $500
1T is certainly pleasing to know
that the adult interest shown in Red
Cross work is duplicated among the
school children" said Mrs Gilbert
THE list of 100 per cent. schools is
astonishing. And the recruiting is
still going on. l believe that final
figures will show a greater percen-
tage of junior members among the
scholars than adult members among
the grown-ups: and that fact speaks
very well indeed FOR the patriotism

See Us First

They began to build tractors over
twelve years ago to work with their
other machines.
Out of that wide experience with
farm equipment is it not logical that
they should build tractors that WOULD
best operate all the machines, field and
belt, that the tractor is used with! we
think so, and that is one reason why we
chose international and Titan tractors
to SELL
Another reason is that these tractors
are SO made that farmers can run them
and keep them in running order. They
are simple, rugged, operate success
fully on kerosene, and every part IS
easy to get at for adjustment.
That is not all, but it is all we can
tell YOU here. For information about
other good features of these tractors
come in and see us at your first o2por-
