STEELTON NEWS ITEMS
CROWD ATTACKS
PATROLMAN WINN
Officer Narrowly Escapes In
ljury When Trying to
Disperse Crowd

Patrolman John Winn narrowly
escaped serious injury this morning
when he made efforts to disperse a
crowd causing a disturbance at Main
and Francis streets at 1890 o'clock.
The patrolman, approaching the
crowd of men, asked them to scatter
and discontinue the singing and
noisemaking. The patrolman had
no sooner given his orders until he
was attacked by Archie Hammaker.
When he made efforts to place
this man under arrest, the twelve
men in the crowd began a free-for-
all scrap with the patrolman, the
chief said. His mace was wrenched
from his hand and one of the row.
dies proceeded to use it on its owner.
After some difficulty Patrolman
Winn succeeded in placing Archie
Hammacker and George Miller, an
other man of the crowd, under ar
rest. These men he took to the bor-
ough lookup and returned to the
West Side, where he found James
Daley in a street near the scene of
the disturbance. He arrested Daley
and took him to the lookup.
In the meantime a call was sent
into the police station for assistance.
Chief Grove and Patrolmen Burrel
and Bowermaster rushed to the
West Side, but were unable to locate
any of the offenders.
The three lawbreakers are being
held pending an investigation, the
chief said.
The need of a patrol, which Chief
Grove recommended to council last
year. was emphasized last night when
the men were compelled to get over
to the West Side the best way they
could. The consequence was that
the crowd had dispersed by the time
the officers arrived and no more II
the rowdieS were arrested.

HOUSTON.

The principal of the Houston public
school, Miss Lockwood, has been COM
PEELED to tender her resignation to
the school board, and asks to be re-
lieved from work with the close of this
week. The reason assigned for this
action is because of her health and a
breakdown of her nervous system. The
County Superintendent has been re-
quested to supply a competent teacher
for the school, which pays a monthly
salary of $50, but as there are no
teachers qualified to be had at any
price, the job is beyond their ability to
meet. Women qualified to teach in
the public schools are getting more
money in business ands get paid the
entire year, hence the teachers do not
care to continue on in the schools.
Mrs. Eugenia Simpson, who former
ly taught in the public schools nine
years ago, will teach the balance of
the school year for the school board,
so as to keep the Houston schools open
and that will probably be the solution

impossible to make a uniform loaf of
sixteen ounces. But twenty-five loaves
must weigh twenty-five pounds.

The farmers of this vicinity who are

ing in Grange Hall on Tuesday after
noon to determine whether they could
afford to grow peas this season at the
price offered by the Gamers.
After thorough discussion in which
many Of the prominent growers took
part, it was decided that at the pres
ent time, owing to the advancing cost
of fertilizers, seed, labor and every
thing that enters into the expense of
GROWN gthe crop, that $44.25 per acre
was a reasonable estimate of the cost
of growing and delivering.
1t was therefore unanimously de-
cided that they would not grow a crop
at lower price than 4 cents per lb
for 1918. This agreement was signed
by the following growers:

AMERICAN OPTIMISM
[From the ohio State Jonrnall

ltrom the ONO state Journal
The New York Times solemnly
and at length warns Americans
against indulging in optimism over
the news from the front. The Times
has turned the heads of many of our
people, who see in it, with no partic-
ular reason for the vision, the
growing dawn of victory and the
sunburst of peace, as our contem-
porary phrases 1t in it's poetic way;
the road to victory will still be long
and toilsome.
The Times fear is that America
feels so sure now that the Hun is
beaten that there is danger that
she will relax her efforts towards the
early consumption of that desirable
and necessary end. We do not be-
iieve there is much ground for such
a fear. The American temperament
is naturally optimistic, prone to ex-
aggregate the cheering phases of the
outlook and to- minimize the discour-
aging features. But, while this is
our natural mental attitude, il Is
not going to warp our judgment OIL
make us think that we have an easy
job on our hands. All it means
is that we are going on with our
heads up and hope and confidence
will be greater incentives to us than
doubt and fear. The odds are in
favor of the hopeful and confident
and against the depressed and tim
orous and we have much reason tc
believe that in this latter frame OF
mind the rank an dfile of the Ger
man army, If not the Prussian auto
cracy itself, now looks ahead.
