in general of the faunal and foraI
features of the State Capitol park
has enlarged his Jurisdiction. Mr.
| Beidleman has had charge of things
about the park this spring and has
not only worked out many things
which will improve conditions pend
| ing the big changes which are COM !
| ing under the Drummer plans, but
has outlined the scheme for caring
| for the park when the extensive
additions are finished. He has been.
crusading against the dandelionS
and has the flowers blooming con-
tentedly and the pigeons satisfied
with life. The circumstances of his
going outside of the park were hu-
manitaran. They say that Mr.,
Beidleman is in. love with his job
and that he looks after everything
connected with the park as care
| fully as if it were his own. And so.
when they cut down that big syca-
more tree in front of the Montgom-
cry residence in State street the
other day and he heard that there
was squirrel family in the tree,
he just took charge. 1t seems that
a couple of the Capitol squirrels
went house hunting some time ago
and liking the wide-Spreading tree,
established a residence. When tho
tree was cut down for safety raSonS
the other morning, the men discov-
cred some baby squirrels. Two OF
them were found in n hollow part
of the tree and Mr.. Beid1eman con-
stituted himself as guardian and
took the little animals to the Capt.
toll where they were placed in n box
and fed. When they are old enough
they will be properly introduced to
the rest of the squirrels and given
the choice of the whole park as d
residence.

u This is the first war loan campaign
> that Joseph Yungel, the shoe manu-
q, faCturer, has missed, and he would
= be in this one, if 1t were not for the
fact that he is laid up with a car
buncle on the back of the neck that
almost cost him his life. Yungel
, was born in Germany, but he is as
loyal and devoted to America, the
land of his adoption, as any man
native born and he was a tower of
: strength in the war work of Harris

in number of campaigns was reg
istered as 100 per cent, in which he
took great pride.

" 1t is surprising how many people
: are interested in the date of the big
g parade of the Keystone Division and
the number of telephone calls on
, tthe subject answered every day
!, would astonish the average man.
:. These calls come from remote dis
y tricts in Dauphin. Perry and other
counties, even Fulton, and if it
: means anything, there will be a
great crowd in Philadelphia the day
G of the parade.
