MEN OF 79TH TO
GET WELCOME
ON HOMECOMING
Soldiers Vote Down Plan For
Divisional Parade in
Philadelphia

Harrisburg men who served in
France with the 10th Lorraine Cross
Division are to be properly received
on their return home. This is the
promise held out to-day by Mayor
Daniel l.. Keister. Mayor Keister
and has gotten into communication
with Harrisburg officers with the
division in efforts to learn when the
bulk of the men may be expected to
reach the city.
The reception Of the men of the
18th will be much on the same or
der as that given the men of the
Keystone Division when they re-
turned home, Clarence o. Backen-
stoss, Mayors secretary, said this
morning. AS soon as an approx
mate time for the return of the men
is learned arrangements for the re-
ception will be rushed.
The time when the bulk of the
Harrisburg men of the division may
be expected home is still uncertain.
Some few of the men, who returned
home with the division last week,
have already arrived in this city and
in nearby communities. Most of the
men of this vicinity are located at
Camp Dix, N. j., and the fact that
many, of them are with the same
regiment will work in favor of a
sufficient number of them return
ing in a body to Justify reception.
All plans for a parade of the divi-
sion in Philadelphia have been aban-
doned. The men of the division do
not wish to march. and they have
voiced strenuous opposition to any
plans and do not wish anything to
stand in the way of their early de-
mobilization.
Following official advices from
Camp Dix as to the sentiment of
the men, both Mayor Smith. of Phil
adelphia, and Adjutant General
Frank D. Beary, acting for Gov
ernor Sproul, announced that all the
plans for a parade had been aban-
doned.
The men at Camp Dix adopted
resolutions against the parade, and
sent kilograms to the Philadelphia
newspapers showing their adverse
opinion.
Mayor Smith said that Philadel-
phia was prepared to give the 10th
Division just as hearty a welcome
as that accorded the 28th Division,
but the mems wishes would be con-
sidered first.

Elliott-Fisher Co. Has
the Heaviest Sales in
History of Corporation

All sales records for the Elliott
Fisher Company were smashed last
month by the field forces when the
biggest months business in the his
tory of the firm was reported. The
total sales of the company for May
were greater than the best previous
month, last October, by 33 per cent.
Last October every business enter
prise not restricted by the govern
ment had little trouble in smashing
records, but to do one third better
when some industrial leaders were
working on a cautionary schedule is
a record of which the Elliott-F Fisher
Company is proud.
Cooperation of the statesmen with
Sales Manager G. w. Spahr, was
largely responsible, the men all
working to establish a big business
record. The increasing activity at the
plant is evidenced by the additions
to the working force, issuance oil
quantities of new advertising litera.

and a new weekly magazine, large
newspaper advertisements and the
holding of salesmen's and distric
managers conventions.
Reports from the company indi
cate that the record for June will b,
better one than established las
month.

haps. He will demonstrate the ma
chine in the afternoons from $50 until
$40 o'clock.

BEWARE OF THE PROMOTER

1t is reported to the News Letter
that statesmen for stock companies
are doing extensive advertising in
Idaho. Many enterprises floated by
irresponsible parties are operating
through statesmen in some of the Mis-
! sissippi valley states and farm bur-
eaus are warning their members
against exchanging cash or liberty
bonds for capital stock of doubtful
value. 1t is said that a single I'M

Wallace's Farmer briefly reviews
The situation as follows:
"These stock-selling schemes are of
all sorts. Some are on their face
purely speculative, such, for example,
as the mining and oil well schemes. A
very few men have grown wealthy by
lucky strikes in the oil fields. But
when a farmer is solicited to take
stock in an oil company, he should re-
member that he is asked to invest his
money in a gamble, pure and simple.
Most of the men who promote these
companies are simply trying to get
other people to put up the money for
thon, 10 xynrly ryffh W. houn bod IN
portunities to get reliable information
on this matter, because a large num-
Der of such companies have been pro-
noted in Des Moines and the sur
rounding territory.
"The scheme is simple: The pro-
motors get together and hire smooth
solicitors at a very generous commits
sion to sell the stock to the unsuspect-
ing. They find their easiest marks
among school teachers, preachers,
widows who have inherited small
sums in the way of insurance or other
They get up attractive literature, in
which they tell of how some people
have become suddenly rich through a
lucky strike in oil, and they argue
this that all that one needs to
do to become rich himself is to buy
some of their capital stock, and let
them have the money with which to do

money which has gone out of Des
Moines and out of Iowa for such en-
5erprises mounts up into the millions

pie who gave it. If the promoted
company actually does strike oil, it is
reorganized in such a way as

Select Seed Potatoes at Harvest.

The custom Of using as seed pota.
to culls left from the previous sea-
sons crop, after having disposed of the
best, must be discontinued if the pres
ent quality and yield of the crop is to
be materially improved. The grower
can not expect to get maximum yields
from inferior seed stock any more
than the dairyman can expect to get
maximum milk yields from scrub COWS.
The best time to select seed potatoes
is in the fall when the crop is being
harvested. Then the yield of the in
dividuaI plant and the quality Of the
tubers can be considered.
Good seed is pure in respect to the
variety; is produced by healthy, Wig
orous, heavy-yielding plants grown I'M
der favorable climatic conditions; is
immature; reasonably uni
form in size and shape; firm and
sound. The first sprouts should begin
to develop at planting time.
