HAMBURG,s WEALTH CITED

The German newspapers quote
with hearty approval any utterances
from England deprecating the imposi-
ton of a large war indemnity, and
in this connection are very urgent
about the desperate financial condt-
ton of Germany. But the tale Is
different when local civic pride is
offended
An interesting example comes from
Hamburg. The provisional estimate
of the state finances for 1918 showed
a heavy deficit. in consequence of
which it was widely rumored that
the state was bankrupt The Ham
burger Fremdenblatt Indignantly de-
nies this. 1t says that the result is
apparently unfavorable as compared
with that OF other states because
Hamburg. unlike these, has included
special war expenditure, which is re-
coverable from the empire. in the
estimate. But Hamburg owns public
assets amounting to two milliards of
marks (nominally $500. .o00,000). and
the taxes which produced 67.000,00
marks (s16.750,000) in 1915, the last
year for which the exact figures are
available are estimated to produce
81, ,o0O, 900 marks ($22,500.000) this
year. On the showing of the Frem-
denblatt it Is plain that Hamburg
will be able to assume a very credit
able part of the burden of the indem-
nifty.

In what may be the fnal match of
his wonderful career. Doctor B. F.
Roller. world famous New York
wrestling physician will grapple
with Tommy Draak, the Belgian
Netherlands champion tonight in
the Chestnut Street Auditorium. The
evenings attraction will start at $50
o'clock. but the main bout will not
go on before 9 O'Clock.
Maxwell Baumann, promoter of
this extraordinary show, has arrang-
ed good set of preliminaries. Carl
Beck, the Tech star, will tackle
John Koonz, more local talent. and
the two Tech wrestlers, julius Kam-
sky and ED" Fair will go on for
ten minutes.
Draak arrived in Harrisburg early
yesterday morning and was reported
last night to be in r1ne shape for the
fray, when he expects to be one of
the most important of his career.
Roller will reacn Harrisburg this
afternoon, and he. too, is in excel
lent trim. When Referee Baumann
calls his men into the ring tonight
he will stage a bout between two of
tho greatest wrestlers of all time at
the top of their form.

Electricity Saves Labor
For Farme. and Wife

Farm work is not just a matter of
taking a team to the fields and put
ting in so many hours a day plow-
ing, narrowing, seeding, harvesting
or whatever the task might be.
There are also the chores and far
mers are coming to realize more and
more that valuable time can be vast
ed in doing chores. that is, where
folks persist in doing them in the
old way.
In the field modern machinery is
employed to save time and labor and
to make possible short cuts, so that
keep the farm production up to the
standard that has been set for it.
Why isn't it just as reasonable to
employ short cuts about the barn,
in the chore work as in the regular
farm work in the fields?
A great many farmers are coming
to decide that it is, and your up-to-
date farmer is using modern equip
ment about the farm buildings just
as he is using modern equipment in
the field work One of the most
important of the time and labor
saving forces he is using to-day is
electricity. Generally he gets it from
one of these small, individual cleo
trio plants tnaJ can De lnSJdlle0 IN
the tool house or garage, or in any
other convenient place about the
premises.
This electricity he uses to light
his home, first of all, of course.
Then, il he and his hands are to
work effectively, he will light his
barns and stables and the surround
ing yards. Most of the chores in
certain seasons are done after dark,
by the aid of lantern. More of
them would be done after dark IL
bright electric light were provided
and that much more time would be
saved for work in the fields.
Then the farmer with electricity
will use electric power to save steps,
save work and save time. He will
use electricity to pump the water.
He will have this water stored under
pressure so that it is forced to the
faucets, either at the house or barn,
and no pumping or carrying is nec-
essary. If there are many cows to
milk, he will run the milking ma
chine with an electric motor, and
the farm boy who otherwise would
be tempted to leave the farm to
escape an uncongenial job will be
satisfied to stay and supervise SO i'm
teresting an operation as milking
Harrisburg telegraph. [volume] (Harrisburg, Pa.) 1879-1948, 1919-06-03

by mechanical means. Then this
electric power the farmer will use to
turn his grindstone, the corn shelter
or grinder, the clippers for clipping
mules or horses, for cleaning seed,
for dozen different uses that will
suggest themselves wherever elec-
tricity is available.
OF course, the women folks will
not fail to reap a benefit from it,
too, for, besides the modern light
ing, the bath and indoor toilet that
electricity makes possible, the elec-
trio power gives them the vacuum
sweeper, the electric vibrator with
its healthful, beautifying massage,
and such household machinery as
electric washing machines, churns
and the like. Then there is electric
heat for repair jobs like soldering,
for the electric toaster or percolator
for the electric warming pads for
the sick room, for the fiat iron and
various devices all calculated to
bring comfort, saving or pleasure to
the farm family.

The closest Reading came to being
defeated this season in an Alison Hill
contest came last evening when St

game because of darkness that was

of hits and misplays after which Mel
li9ger held the st. Mary's lads score
less. Conner and Shartle tied the
score in the third and fourth innings,
with the result that the game will
have to be played over later in the
season.
Mellinger pitched a splendid game,
striking out fifteen out of a possible

of speed and good control. Hoon kept

LEAGUE STANDING

The Junior League fans once more
went hcme disappointed on account of
the fact that the West End juniors
again failed to get their team on the
field for last evenings contest with
the East End Juniors. Manager
Books left it to be played out later
in the season instead of forfeit.
Manager Simmons, of the West End
Juniors, stated that there were many
reasons why he could not get his
team on the field for the scheduled
games to be played at Nineteenth and
Greenwood streets. In the first place
tho players could not leave in time
on account of many of them not get
ting home from work until 6 o'clock,
thus not getting to the ball diamond
until nearly o'clock. Street car
fare also had a say, when each fellow
had to pay his fare one way, while
the other team would pay the other
way. These two reasons were chiehy
why the West End Juniors were
forced to drop from the league.

year, will now take the West End
Juniors place in the City Junior
