MEN
LIKE GARDENING
Numerous Applications For
Plots Along the Middle
Division

Pennsylvania railroad employees are
jumping at the opportunity to start
war gardens on company property.
There will be hundreds of war gar
dcns along the Middle division be-
tween Marysville and Altoona. Many
Harrisburg employees who, own cot
tages will work gardens between
Marysville and Newport. At least a
dozen plots have already been as
signed.
Application must be made to A. A.
Mcclellan, chief engineer, at Altoona.
Though it is still very early in the
season and the official notice that
the company would again rent out
the plots this year was only posted
night before last. Mr.. Mcclellan an
rounced that already two-thirds of
those who cultivated plots last year
have applied again and there are
enough new applications in to make
up the other third.
With the advent of real spring
weather ard the spreading abroad of
the notice. coupled with the fact that
the war gardening movement is an
even more vital necessity this year
than last. Pennsy officials expect
lHuI OIL lOI
plots will come rolling in for the
next few weeks until the total num-
ber may be two or three times as
large as last year. All applications,
on the Middle division, should be
made to the office of Mr.. Mcclellan.
Big Success Last Year
Though only an experiment" said
Mr. Mcclellan, 1.-The plan proved
very decided success last year. Near
ly all of the employees who rented
plots met with success, save few
who picked out very poor pieces of
ground. This year, with the expert
ence gained last year, much bet
ter success is looked for, as the men
now know a great deal more about
how to care for their gardens.
why, some of the men were so
anxious to get their same plots again
this year that they began making
applications for them early in Janu-
ary. fearful that they might be
leased to someone else" said Mr.. Nc
Clellan, but the man who worked
plot last year has the first right to
it this year and we will not give it
to anyone else unless he gives up his
lease"
The company has plenty of avail
able tillable land, narrow strips
along the right of way everywhere
and many larger plots owned but not
occupied by buildings or works, and
any of this can be had by employees
at the nominal rental of 81 per acre.
Employees also have first chance, but,
il outsiders want land, they can also
get it. though they will be charged
regular commercial rental.

Railroads to Get Boats
as Aid in Freight Rush

Washington. March 21.-Read-
justment of the coastwise and great
lakes shipping control is under con-
sideration by the shipping board and
the railroad administration. The
probability is that the latter will be
given charge of numerous steamers
which are regarded .as primarily
auXiliaries to rail transportation.
By coordination of domestic
water and rail movement under one
control, it is believed greater speed
and economy in transportation facil-
tiles will be obtained, especially in
bulk commodities such as cotton,
which are shipped from southern
ports to New England. A cargo of
cotton could reach Boston from Saw
annah in four or five days, while
that many weeks is required to reach
its destination by rail after passing
Washington. A train of steel takes
as long from Pittsburgh to the At
lantic seaboard as from the same
place to Pacific coast shipyards.

Guiding his aged father. who attend
ed both trials, came forward and
left the room with the young man.
The jury retired yesterday after
noon shortly before o'clock, and
was out until an early hour this
morning when the verdict was reach
ed The jurors had been instructed
to bring in a sealed verdict.
Court convened last evening at s
o'clock and word was received that
some of the jurors wanted further
instructions. District Attorney Mi
chael E. Stroup and James A. Stran-
ahan and A. Ross Walter, the latter
two defending Richcreek, were call
ed and the prisoner was brought into
court. A few minutes later the jury
entered and Judge A. w. Johnson
then explained more fully the defini-
ton of murder of the first degree and
second degree and manslaughter.
Interesting Trial
The trial of young Richcreek
has been an interesting one as the
prosecution was forced to prove
guilt without having a witness of
the crime when it was committed.
The contention of the District Al
torney's office in investigating and
handling the case was that the muir
der was committed with intent to
rob.
The defense claimed accidental
shooting, Richcreek maintaining at
both his former trial and the present
one that he shot at bird, the charge
striking Silberman who was on the
other side of the canal towpath near
Middletown.
With the exception of the refusal
of Judge Johnson to admit as evil
dence a number of targets which had
been hit by using the shotgun which
Richcreek had fired, the second trial
differed but little from the first.
1t is not believed that any of the
new murder cases on the list will be
reached during the present session
of court.
One of these, the case against
Charles Kyler, charged with murder
ing a railroader from the west end
of the city, was listed to be heard
by the Grand Jury to-day. The other
two cases against two colored de-
PENDANTS, William Evans and An
drew Carey, will be heard by the
Grand Jury tomorrow. Both of the
murders occurred in Steelton last
month.

Says His Prescription
Has Powerful Influence
Over Rheumatism
Discoverer Tells Geo. A. Gorgas Not
to Take a Cent of Anyone's Money
Unless Allenrhu Completely Ban
ishes All Rheumatic Pains and
TWingcS.

Mr.. James II. Allen suffered FOR
years with rheumatism. Many times
this terrible disease left him helpless
and unable to work.
He finally decided, after years of
ceaseless study, that no one can be
free from rheumatism until the &C.
cumulated impurities communIy can
ed uric acid deposits, were dissolved
il, the joints and muscles and expell-
ed from the body.
With this idea in mind he consulted
physicians, made experiments and
finally compounded a prescription that
quickly and completely banished every
sign and symptom of rheumatism
from his system.
He freely gave his discovery to
others who took it, with " hat might
be called marvellous success. After
years of urging he decided to let suf-
ferors everywhere know about mis-
discovery through the newspapers.
Geo. A. Gorgas has been appointed
agent for Allenrhu in this vicinity
with the understanding that he will
freely return the purchase money to
all who state they received no benefit.
