MANY SUBSCRIBE
TO THIRD LOAN
Campaign Launched at Big
Patriotic Meeting Last
Evening

Although official figures were not
available to-day. it was reported that
subscriptions amounting to more
than $4,000 have been made in the
Third Liberty Loan campaign here.
An official announcement on the re-
suits of the drive in the steel plant
and IN the borough will be made
Monday or Tuesday of next week, 1t
was learned to-day.
Steelton in opening the Third Lib
erty Loan drive to-day will again
make efforts to oversubscribe the al
lotment. Hhis little borough with a
large foreign population during the
First and Second campaigns doubled
its quota. Such a record was not
only established in the Loan cam
paigns, but in all war fund drives
that the town has been asked to sup
port.
Enthusiastic Rally
Never before in the history of this
town was there so much spirit
shown at any community gathering
as was evident at the big mass meet
ing held in the High School auditor
ium last night. Nearly 1000 resi-
dents eager to hear of war work at
tended the meeting.
Major Connolly, second in COM
mand of the Aviation Section at San
Antonio, Texas, presented one of the
most forceful and interesting ad-
dresses ever heard in this borough
The Army officer told of the great
things to be accomplished and that
only by the greatest sacrifice can
they be achieved. In order to over
come the unprecedented obstacles
coming before the Government al
most hourly, money is needed, the
officer declared
Captain Young, of the Canadian
army, who saw two years service in
actual fighting cover there" described
in detail his experiences. Judging
from the intense interest of the au-
dience during his talk, it was the
best given in this vicinity since the
outbreak of the war.
DIR. BagneII Talks
The Rev. DIR. Bagnell, of Harris
burg, in his talk appealed to the
people of this country for their sup
port in war work He presented
several good reasons why the Third
war loan must be oversubscribed.
1--WE must support the Liberty Loan
clared.
The Rev. DR.. Bagnell said that the
war will be won on the western
front and, as the soldiers of Uncle
Sam will be called upon to strike
probably the death blow to Kaiser
ism, every possible measure should
be taken to keep up the morale of
the country's fighting men. A rea-
son for subscribing to the loan that
should not be forgotten, according to
the speaker, is fthat the United
States needs the cash"
In order to fly the three-strip flag.
Chairman Robbins, of the Liberty
Loan Committee, said, this district
must produce subscriptions from at
least ten per cent. of the total popu-
lation. The chairman appealed to
residents for their support in the
drive.
Prior to the mass meeting a parade
was held. The procession, headed by
the Steelton Band. was made up of
Steelton Reserves, the Boy Scouts and
members of the Liberty Loan Com
mittee and moved over the principal
streets of the town. During the
program the band presented several
patriotic airs.

Great Advance Interest to the An
nual Gathering Of Imperial Farm
ers at HOltville.

The date for the Third Agricultural
Assembly has finally and definitely
been set for Thursday, February IA,
at Holtville. The change in date
was made necessary due to conflict
ing engagements of some of the prin-
icipal speakers. A program has been

which promises to be one of the most
interesting yet presented. The Holt
vile Commercial Club through it's
president. M. C. Blanchard, has stat
ed that that club and city would CO.
operate in every way possible to make
the assembly great success.
Instead of barbecue, as formerly,
a good wholesome dinner will be
lserved by the Ladies Aid Society at
Ia price that will be both satisfactory
and popular. Those who wish to
bring their lunches may secure hot
coffee or tea on the grounds. A band
has been promised to enliven the oc-
casion and instrumental music will
have a part ON the program. In ad-
dition to the speakers already an
Inounced, the program committee has
been able to secure Professor w. w.
Wier of the Soils Department of the
University of California to give an
address on drainage problems Of the
Imperial Valley, with stereopticon
slides. This talk will include dis
cussion of the best methods of con-
troll of alkali. Professor Van Nor
man, dean of the University Farm,

.D|CKERSON WINS
LAND OVER SIP,
Two Hundred Acres, Improved,
Fought Over for Two Days in Su-
periOr Court, Goes to HOmesteader,
Who Will Probably Get Patent from
the U. S. Land Office.

William NJ. Dickerson won his suit
for the possession of 200 acres OF
highly improved and water-stocked
land in Tract 1873, Township 13 south,
Range IA East, yesterday in the Su-
perior court, after the jury had con-
sidered it two days. His attorneys
were H. F. Davis and B. D. Noel The
other party in the case was the South
ern Pacific Land Company.
When adjustments were made near
the Third Standard, in the 1856 sur
vey, and that resurvey extended north
by Henderson, by the Federal gov
ernment, Dickerson's improved claim
was included in "old section s." in
that township, and awarded to the
Southern Pacific Dickerson was re-
fused recognition of his application
by the land office on that ground. But
he had gone onto the land in good
faith, in the absence of an authori-
tative survey, and he held to it. His
"sticktoitiveness" and industry were
rewarded by the jury.

this, the district board was to get
strung for another third, and
other boards and business firms
are to put up the remainder, all

tising submitted here with the
view that the bank could more

SMOKE OUT PRO-
GERMANS, ISSUE
Brazil Prepares to Take Drastic
Steps Against TeutOn Plotters Who
Attempt to Defeat Will of People
Newspapers Printed in German Are
Suppressed.
(By Associated Press)

Rio Grande de Sui, Brazil, Jan. 23.-
Prompted by the belief that German
residents have fomented and support
ed railway strikes and other labor
troubles in southern Brazil, the Bra
lillian government has prepaed to
take severe steps to prevent any fur
ther German-inspired disturbances.
Large forces Of troops now are
quartered in southen Brazil and GUS
tom houses at Porto Allegro and Rio
Grande are filled with artillery, which
can be transported quickly to any
other points in the southern part of
the country.
By suppressing newspapers printed
in the German language and by clos
ing German schools and removing
German priests from Catholic schools,
the government has succeeded in
blocking large part of the German
propaganda and strict censorship
prevents the spreading of news re-
garding German unrest or the gov
enment's steps for overcoming it.
There is general talk, however,
throughout southern Brazil, even by
Brazilian officials, to the effect that
the Germans have not given up thei
atrtempt to harrass the Brazilian gov
ernment and embarrass it's shipments
to the Entente Allies. Municipal Of
ficers in one of the principal towns
of the western part of the state OF
Rio Grande de Sui told me that their
Investigations had led them to be-
lieve that German support was large
ly responsible for the success and
long duration of the recent railroad
strikes, and that they also were con-
vinced that the strikes were part OF
a revolutionary plan which has not
been entirely crushed.
OF the 1885, ,240 people living in the
state of iRo Grande de Sui, it is
estimated that 100000 are of German
birth or first generation descendants
of Germans, and it has been officially
reported that there are 10000 Ger
man eservists in the German rifle
clubs of this state alone. These Ger
mans have practically controlled the
commercial enterprises in this part Of
Brazil.
