The Southern Tours"
The Southern Tours" which from
now on will attract thousands of mo-
torists to Harrisburg, includes five
routes:: Shenandoah, Blue Grass,
Louisville. Tennessee river and Gen.
eral. The officers are Alfred S.
Amer, Frank A. Dudley, Eugene
Stuart and r. NJ. Clark. These men
found that long distance travel for
both business and pleasure has large
" been East and West. They deter
mined to develop the North and
South district, bringing together the
Northern and Gulf States, and Har-
risburg should be proud that 1T will
be the northern terminus of this vast
system.
The topography of the country was
studied to avoid monotony of travel
and the routes finally selected give
to the tourist the safest roads, the
lbest roads and the greatest variety
!of scenery and opportunities to see
at close view in many respects the
most wonderful parts of the United
States.
Touring between the North and
the South along the Atlantic Sea-
board or along the Mississippi Valley
presents such a sameness of level
country as to become urcsomc.
I'm the routes embraced within the
Southern Tours, all the beautiful
scenery of the Appalachian System
with ever-changing pictures of noun
tain, canyon, forest and river is pre-
sented TO the tourist.
Many Interesting Points
The famous Hot Springs of the
South, Mammoth Cave, Natural
Bridge. ana Lookout mountain are
among the natural wonders. The
Blue Grass section of Kentucky is
traversed. The great battlefields of
the Civil War. with their monuments
and story which cannot but touch
the heart strings of every citizen be
he resident of North or South, are
passed. The beautiful Tennessee
river with its canyons and power
development are seen. The fertile
valley of East Tennessee around
Knoxville is traversed.
All of the routes from the North
center at Birmingham, one of the
most progressive and beautiful cities
lof the South. South of Birming-
ham over good roads, on the route to
the gulf, is Montgomery, the first
capital of the Southern states until
they were again united under the fold
of the Stars and Stripes. From Mont
gomery the advised route is TO Mo-
bile at the head of Mobile Bay on the
Gulf of Mexico. From Mobile the
tourist has the option of turning
west to New Orleans, passing many
attractive winter resorts on the
Gulf of Mexico. The distance is 164
miles from Mobile to New Orleans.

Appreciation of the
Telegraph's Aid
Nv Dear Mr.. stackpole:

My Dear Mr.. Stackpole:
We to-day have instructions to
cease our Price Publications" For
nearly a year our Mr. Frank L. Cook
has been meeting twice each week
with representative retail and whole
sale grocers, and together they have
agreed on price lists of staples, show
ing the low and high prices at which
the retailers bouht and the fair
prices which the consumer should
pay.
Your publication of these lists has,
I am sure, been of great value in pre-
venting profiteering without the Adj
ministration having to enforce penal
ties or even threaten and now want
to thank you for the space you have
given these lists and for the many
favors you have given the FL I'd Ad-
ministr ItIan in conveying to your
readers the many changing rules as
they have come to us. This price
list publication was the last junction
of the Food Administration md In
now Withdrawing from its duties, l
must again speak of the great CO.
operation that has come from every
home and store and office In the de-
sire to follow out the rules as You
have announced them.
Very truly yours,

HARRY'S CIGAR
STORE THERETO
Famous Old Stand TO Have
Quarters in the New
Hotel
81 IN WAS a foregone conclusion tha

TT WAS a foregone conclusion that
the Penn-Harris would lack a
certain luster without the pres
ence of George Harry, boniface of
the succulent weed, who for twenty
years-count EN- has dispensed
it to Pennsylvania Governors, not
to mention thous nds of legislators,
many of whom have crossed beyond.
This was a prime feature, the lobby
emporium of the big hostelry, and
the United Hotels Company gave it
minute and serious thought, until e.
u. Wallower, in casual manner, indi-
Gated that there was just one man
fitted for the job, and he knew
something, as the saying goes.
At the beginning there was slight
pickering over the lease, for George
Harry has strong convictions when
confronted with any new PROPOSE
ton. So far as he was concerned,
he would not seek the location, and
the mountain promptly came to
Mohammed. Manager Virgins is
one who gets the idea" quickly and
when he realized the hotel would
not be complete without George
he sent a hurry and must call.
Needless to say this adjunct will
be big-league caliber; situated, as
1t is, Immediately to the left as one
enters the Walnut street door, with
the incense of the aromatic leaf
mingled with fragrance of boxed
candies and reams of magazine lit
erature. Mr.. Harry will continue at
his old stand in the Columbus, but
give much of his time to the Penn
Harris. for he will be in demand
by many thousands who have dealt
with him in years past.
The callous reader may not un-
derstand the significance of a cigar
host who has had long experience,
and vision, but the Penn Harris folk
were hep" to it. George Harry's
place is n catchword far and wide,
and when he chose, he identified n
merited one by naming a cigar after
him. Thus for John p. EllIin, at
torney general under Governor
Stone, and a member of the Su-
preme Court at the time of his
death. He was staunch Mat"
Quay partisan and ran for Governor
against Mr., Pennypacker.y
One secret of the successful cigar
man is to always keep in stock the
variety demanded so that the patron
can get 1t instanter, and not be COM
PEELED to send for his brand out-of-
town. So it is that the present in
cumbent of the Gubernatorial chair
always finds himself supplied, for
Governor Brumbaugh unquestion-
ably relishes u de luxe flavor with
all the intensity described in Tx
Marvels "Reveries of q Bachelor"
Two clerks will be on the job here
until closing time, always under the
trained supervision of Grand Poten-
tate Harry.

NE who lives and moves in re-
stricted territory may not real
ize the frenzy of relish which
seizes the weary tourist when ne
knows that his approaching des-
tination includes an up-to-date hotel
But the fact is that in many in
stances a continental route is shifted
at points merely because of this ad-
vantage, and one of the prime ef-
forts made by the United Hotels
Company. through its president,

Harrisburg and the Harris

Harrisburg has, for city of its size

O consideration when the gor-
! geous mansion began to de-
velop was to choose a name for it,
and w. T. Hildrup, Jr., who had
/ by this time waxed enthusiastic in
the project, suggested that the Tel

about wildfre! Harrisburg seized on

The replies began to swamp the pa

from one contributor, combining
the names of E. u. Wallower and E.
]. Stackpole.
At that moment history, imagina-
tion and efficiency prompted Josiah
Hillegas, captains mate in the crew
which steers the destiny of Dives,
Pomeroy & Stewart. Mr. Hille-
gas relates that his rest one night
was something painful. He felt it
his duty to find the real and only
name for Harrisburg's new hotel,
| and. being conscientious. no oster-
moor could lure him into the arms
of Morpheus.
About a. m. his better half was
startled by a shrill maddened yell
from Mr.. Hillegas, who found diff
Guilty in enunciating his divine dis
covery, and jumbled his worlds like
a Bolsheviker behind time. Present
ly he recovered and cained the
| magic phrase: Penn Harris" ut
tered, thus, perhaps, for the first
time on earth.
This entirely upset the creator,
| and he held forth, while the pipe
bending whistle wheezed 6 o'clock,

dreamed of John Harris and the
Redskins; how of the generous and
valiant William Penn, and from that
to the highway which bears his
name. Easily remembered and

| Hillegas. But you don't want to
waste any time; telephone it in, for
ideas like this quickly spread"
This shrewd advice weaved the
wreath which Joe Hillegas will wear
through Immortality, for his wife
urged him to obey within a few
minutes, and thus worked tragedy

son Hill who must have been in

moment. Unhappily she waited to

sailed into fame, for this caption.

In all justice to Joseph Hillegas,

The European cOrnstalk borer, which
was discovered In eastern Massachu-

Of the most destructive insect pests
Of corn, is reported to be spreading
rapidly to other neighboring localities.
The most vigorous and energetic ac-
ton possible will be required on the
part Of farmers and gardeners, county
agents and entomologists If the pest
is to be eradicated or satisfactorily
controlled.
1t is known that shipments or infest-
ed ears of sweet corn were shipped
last year to practically all the New
England states before the presence of
the worm was discovered. Corn grow
ers are warned to be on the alert to
discover this pest In growing corn or
