to use them in work on roads in the

The fact that factory location

The Idaho-Utah Sugar company
continues to maintain an office in
this city, however, in the hope that
system of irrigation will be in
stalled in the near future and that,
when that desideratum shall have
been supplied, 1t will not be difficult
to obtain the required tonnage OF
sugar beets.
So much argument has been set
forth to show that no industrial in
stitution could more profitably be-
established in this valley than a beet
sugar factory and that the farmers
whose land is suitable for the pro-
duction of sugar beets cannot pro-
duce more profitable crop from
year to year than sugar beets, that
to add to it now would seem to be
superfluous, but there can be no
doubt in the minds of the people of
this valley that large proportion of
their salvation can be found more
readily in that enterprise and its sue
cessful prosecution than in any other
permanent industry of that nature
that can be established here.

During the campaign recently pros

only in the cash sale of the raw prod

Tomorrow will be a busy day for
the athletes of the Tarsus school OF
gymnastics. The football team will
play the Lewistown High school at
Lewistown, while the basketball
team will journey to Burnham to
open their season.
The football squad has been prac-

They have had very successful sea-
son on the gridiron, having won four
games and losing two. A long signal
practice was held last evening un-
der the direction of Manager
Schreadley. The following players
will be in the squad tomorrow:
Krebs. Williams, carp, Holahan,
Downey, Marks. Schreadley, Euker,

The basketball squad will journey
to Bairnham for the purpose of

Harrisburg and Steelton should
turn out en- masse tomorrow at the
biggest outdoor event our community
will have the pleasure of witnessing
this fall. In the first place, it will be
an encouragem to the expansion
of school activities, an element in ma
tional development which from now
on will demand more and more con-
Germ from the public. Both the
schools represented in this contest
are modern, progressive and toeing
the mark with progress. The parent
must rely on these institutions for
tutelage; every one of the schools
activities is of personal interest to
the native Harrisburger. Both
schools can use any extra coin which
happens TO be on hand after all ex-
penses are deducted. and surely the
rates of admission are not eXorbitant.
Adults may get seating accommoda-
ton for So cents, tickets being on
sale az Harry Messersmith's in Mar
ket street, and school folks pay only
80 cents.
An advantage to these coupons
bought in advance is that the visitor
need not wait in the long line but
be admitted Immediately. 1t should
be noted that the Park Department
found it necessary to eliminate all
from the field, so that mo-
tor folks should park their machines
back of the grandstand and then oc-
cupy either covered stands or bleach
ers. An additional bleacher is now
erected where the cars used to park.

Tech the hard battle she has been
longing for all season.
On other years this annual turkey
day game was played with Central
High and the Tech chronicler tells
! to day
Fourteen years ago the whole
student body of the Technical High
school, less than. 100 boys, travelled
over to the island to see our first
| team battle with the Central High
! school pigskin warriors. This was our
| first real battle and also defeat. Ev-
cry Thanksgiving Day since 1905 the
| Central and Tech teams have met in
| the annual football classic of Har-
! risburg. In the early years of Techs
history the student body was small
and as a result the teams were too
weak to hold the boys representing
the older institption.
I'm 1913 Tech held a great cele-
bration. Our team held Central to
an 90 score. In 1914 we celebrated
our first great victory. Tech won
by score of 10 to II. On Thanks
giving day, 1915, we went into
mourning, Central treated us rough.
At the end of the fray the score
board showed Central with "a points
and Tech with 0. But think of last
year. "Oh, boy, aiAt it a grand and
glorious feeling?" Central o. and
Tech GA. oh, well, the Central girls
are cheering for Harrisburg to-day.
So let's smile and be happy.
"The worthy gentlemen at 221
Chestnut street, who handle the des-
TIMES of our school affairs, decided
that Central should become girls
school. We never did think much of
the fellow who would fight with
young ladies and much less of, the
fellow who would charge admission
to such a battle; so the annual clas-
sic became thing of the past. With.
all respect to our new rivals, there
is considerable regret in our hearts
| and-we feel sure-in the hearts of
7e all the people of Harrisburg. Thanks
