Delayed Stacking And :, Threshing;
a Grain, Sprouts in. Shock. i
Heavy rains for the past two weeks
or more are reported to have greatly
delayed threshing and stacking in the
country and have damaged the crops
to some extent. Barley that was cut
early is said to be sprouting on some
farms and there are reports of wheat
having sprouted in shock also. If the
weather clears up now it is not anti
cipated that any serious or widespread
damage will be done to the grain.
Rains have also been reported to
have menaced the potato and beet
crops in this vicinity. Farmers who
have large fields of sugar, beets state
that the continuous rainfall will cause
the beets to start to mould and rot
and where fields of potatoes are ripe
they have begun to decay, especially
where the fields were located on low
ground.

$4,000 Dead in Two
Months From Influenza

WASHINGTON, d. c., Dec. Be
tween 100000 and $4,000 deaths from
influenza and pneumonia have occur
red among the civilian population of
the United States since Sept. Is, &C
cording to estimates today of the pub

were based on reports from cities and
states keeping accurate records, and
public health officials believe they are
conservative.
The epidemic still persists, but
deaths are much less numerous, &C
cording to reports reaching here. A
recrudescence of the disease now is
occurring in many communities, but
this is believed to be sporadic and
not to indicate a general renewal of
severe epidemic conditions.
Insurance companies have been
hard hit by the epidemic, government
reports indicate. The government in

would be to build one of the old-fash-,

$4,000 Women Give
Hair For Rope in
Buddhist Temple

"A mighty witness to the live re-
ligiosity of rural Japan exists at
Kyoto", says Joseph 1. G.. Clarke in
Japan at First Hand. THE Higashi
Hongwanji temple has been built
within twenty years. It-was known
that ropes of the very greatest
strength were needed to lift and
hoist the great columns and roof
tree timbers into place, and some
zealot proposed that it be of human
hair, which makes the strongest
rope of all. The response was en-
and 10000 women of
single province sacrificed their beau
tiful long dark tresses to the needs
of the great Buddhist shrine.
The rope that performed its task
without a break is shown on the
temple grounds today. 1t is closely
woven, two hundred and twenty-one
feet long. thirteen inches in circum-
ference, and over four inches in dia-
meter. One touched it's lustrous
coils with reverence; it meant so
much sacrifice; so many wishes from
the deeps of the human heart went
with it. You can see the woman
kneeling before the family Buddhist
shrine. the shining length of her
dark locks lifted in both hands and
on her lips a prayer. % Eternal
Buddha. in thine enlightenment wilt
thou not see for me. and find for
me the way of hearts desire!' And

one province; think of it,"

PAXTON CHEMICAL
TRUCK WAITS FOR
WRANGLE TO END.
Commissioner Gross Allows
Long-Delayed Apparatus to
Remain at Conshohocken

Because of disagreement be-
tween Harrisburg auto concern and
the company which received the con-
tract to equip and paint the new mo-
tor chemical truck for the Paxton
Fire Company, that piece of appara-
tus which should have been deliv-
cred in the city ready for service
early in the summer is still in n
manufacturing plant at Conshohoc-
ken and it will be several weeks at
least before it could be used even
If 1T were sent to Harrisburg at
once.
Commissioner Knows Conditions
These facts which have been
known in city official circles for
sometime. particularly by Commits
sioner E. 2. Gross, superintendent of
the fire department, have brought no
definite action, even though the con-
tract time for the completion of the
new apparatus has long since eA.
pired.
planned that he did nit want to be
unreasonable" in compelling the
delivery of the truck and has given
time extensions hoping for a settle
ment between the local representa-
tive and the Hall Manufacturing
Company. This firm contends it can
not finish the truck which only must
be painted and parts nickel plated
before II can be used, because of
government work. The question of
how much should be allowed the
Harrisburg auto firm for the paint
ing, which has been under discussion
for weeks, is the only thing holding
up the delivery of the apparatus.
Did Not Insist on Delivery
Commissioner Gross admitted he
had not insisted on the delivery of
the truck at once. although it should
have been finished months ago. 9th
er officials declared Harrisburg has
no interest in the question of pay
ment of the painting, and that the
contract terms, if enforced, would
have at least resulted in the deliv-
cry of the truck. and the settlement
between the two private corporations
at later date.
.lnstead, rather than compel these
firms to deliver the appartus and ad-
just the paint-cost grievance at their
leisure without depriving the city of
the chemical wagon, Commiss ,oner
Gross preferred to sit by. let the two
private concerns write letters and
debate cost of paint and nickel plat
ing at length, while. Harrisburg is
still waiting for the apparatus, or
dered early in the year, promised
not later than July 4, which date
was after the contract time had eX-
pired, and with no immediate pros
poets of getting the truck here.
No Move TO Compel Delivery
Despite frequent assurances that a
settlement was in sight and Harris
burg would at last get the truck. the
machine is still at Conshohocken,
and from present indica-
ions will remain there until Com
CROSS notifies the firms to
get it here and settle their differences
between thmselves.

There is suffering, of course, in these

When the lines of strecher cases
were being brought into his hospital
the surgeon stood in the reception
ward taking quick examinations. One
strecher was brought silently in. the
form of a soldier lying rigid under
blankets drawn over the head. This
is the sad sign of one who needs no
more help. They motioned the bear
ers to set it aside in a corner and
when the last wounded man had
been looked over the surgeon re-
verently lifted the e~blanket from the
face. The dead man sat up sud
