BOARD OF TRADE NOTES
"A farm on bad road in the winter
is Jail"

The historical and art exhibit and
entertainment which will be held dur
ng the first week in September should
attract many people from adjoining
towns. The proceeds will go to- Burr
and Burton Seminary in which all
parents should have an active inter-
est.
The art exhibit alone will be worth
the price Of admission and the his
torical objects will interest all native
Vermonters.
The character Of the entertainments
has not been determined, but the per-
sonnel of the committees in charge in
sures something interesting.
Chautauqua tickets will be one sale
during the week convincing August
18th.
Interesting tests have been made to
show the difference in mileage which
can be obtained from one gallon OF
gasoline over different kinds of roads.
A test made with two ton truck
shows as follows:
Fair gravel roads, 719 miles per
gallon.
Fair bituminus macadam, 9.48 miles
per gallon.
Concrete, 11.7S miles per gallon.
The mileage on gravel roads figured
during the season when they are best.
In the spring the mileage is much less.
ew York State has computed aver
age costs for maintenance Of different
kinds of roads which show as follows:
Gravel, per mile, 1924 per year.
Bituminus macadam, per mile $464
per year.
Concrete, $lA per year
Michigan finds its costs but $40 per
year to maintain concrete roads.
The figures do not tell the whole
story, as gravel roads are "laid up"
for repairs each year, and In the
spring and late fall are difficult TO
travel.

ACADEMY HAS
ENROLLED BIG
STUDENT BODY
Preparatory School Taxed TO
Limit to Care For
Pupils

The Harrisburg Academy will
reopen on September 22, with more
than 200 pupils, which will tax the
capacity of the present buildings.
1t is said that there will be q wait
ing list for dormitory rooms. At
the opening last year there were
only IA few over $50 boys attending.
Headmaster Arthur f. Brown
looks forward optimistically to the
work of the year and says that the
difficulty of housing and taking care
of the boys will be met before long.
Another dormitory will doubtless be
added shortly to the two already in
use. New recitation rooms are taxi
ing care of the increased enrolment
this year by utilizing the old din
ingroom in the main hall.
Military work will be adhered to
in measure but the custom of
wearing uniforms has been discon-
tinued. The boys will march to
and from lunch, but will not have
the drill after lunch which was re-
quired last year. Organized, sys-
tematic exercises will of course be
continued.
Friends of the school have been
delighted to hear that II. Elmore
Smith, one of the most popular in
structors the Academy has ever had,
will be with the school again this
year after two years service as Il
lieutenant of artillery. Mr.. Smith
heads the mathematics department.
Another service man to be welcomed
back to the Academy is Fred p,
Schlicter, physical director and
coach of the teams.
r. Is. Wilcox, will assist in the
English department with Charles l.
Stewart. +. c. Pomar will instruct
in French and Spanish, as during
last year. A. X. Kunkel will assist
b. Pritchard will take care of the
chemistry. and c. f. Dahl will be
with Lieutenant Smith in the mathe-
mates department. II. c. Board :
man will teach Latin and French.
The Academy is very fortunate in
having for the eleventh consecutive
year, Howard r. Omwake, the sem
ior master. Mr.. Omwake heads the
department of Latin and Greek and
has for long been the most intimately
known member of the Academy
staff by hundreds of eX-Academy
students.
This year will see a resumption of
all kinds of sports and the news
comes from the school that many
football players of experience will
be here to assure a good team. Boys
from all over New England and
from as far west as Nebraska are
coming this year to Harrisburg.
choosing the local school as one
which has proved it's ability to pre-
pare men for college.

Thousands of Miners
Face Starvation as Result
of Railroad Tieup

Charleston, W. Va, Aug. 1S.-
Thousands of miners and their FAM
lilies in the Logan, Coal River and
Cabin Creek fields face starvation N
the next two or three days and now
actually are suffering privations as
the result of the freight and passen-
ger tie-up on branch lines of the

caused by the shopmen's strike, ac-
cording to word received here to-
day by coal companies which oper-
ate in that section. More than 500
mines have been closed down and
0,000 men thrown out of work by
the strike, report said,
On account of the rough noun

Doubt as to Religious
Belief >of Carnegie Is
Holding Funeral Services

EcnoN, Mass, Aug. 13.-Doubt as
to the religious belief of Andrew
Carnegie is believed to be one of
the reasons for the delay in decid-
ing definitely upon the funeral SER
vices to be held at Shadow Brook,
tomorrow morning.
Reports connecting Mr.. Carnegie
with this or that church have no
foundation, so far as is known here.
While he contributed literally to
various denominations. he apparent
ly was not a member of any church
society. 1t was thought likely to-
day that the services would be an
adoption of the Presbyterian and
Congregational rituals.
Mrs. Carnegie is said to be much
improved after the slight collapse
which followed the death of her hus-
band on Monday
That Mr.. Carnegie "died poor" as
1t is sail he wished to die. Is the as
sertion of DR.. Charles F. Thwing, sec
retary of the Carnegie Foundation
for the Advancement of Teacning,
who explained that the ironmaster
died peer 'in the sense THAI re had
ven a"ay the larger part Of his
fortune" 1t probably will be some
time hcfo~e the value of his estate Is
known.

The formation of the United States
Steel Corporation was the means 81
making rniliionaires of hundreds 81
men who mad not been with the Car

directly responsible to Carnegie fol

The aggregate wealth of the million

more than Carnegie's fortune at the
peak of his prosperity.

GAMBLING FEVER RACES
THROUGHOUT GERMANY

Frankfort on the Main, Aug. 10
Gambling is on the increase through
out Germany to an alarming extent,
according to German newspapers.
This is said to be due partly to
the higher living of individuals who
made fortunes during the war by
Government contracts or otherwise.
Gambling Houses Always Open
At Bad Nauheim three gambling
houses have been running day and
night for some time and the Ger
man newspapers refer to the place
as second Monte Carlo.
Regarding conditions at Bad Maui
helm the Frankfurter Zeitung re-
Gently declared: The demoralizing
effect of the three gambling resorts
erected in Bad Nauheim during the
period of the Soldiers Council is
now seen in its grossest form.

ago when summer guard threw his
revolver in the center of the
gambling hall at the Villa Heine-
mann after losing 10000 marks in an

hour, another guest, said to be from
Frankfort, was found murdered in
one of the parks.
Big Winner Murdered
The investigating committee sum-
moned from Giessen ascertained that
the murder had been committed by
thief. The murdered man had
won 10000 marks at the Club 1919
in the Grand Hotel on the night
he was killed.
On the way to his quarters he was
shot in the back and all his money
stolen.
Tales of Heavy Losses
At the Bristol Hotel it is said
that German woman recently lost
$4,000 marks by gambling and
could not pay her hotel bill, so she
was obliged to auction her clothing
and ValuableS.
Another man from Frankfort lost
$4,000 marks one Sunday afternoon
at the Villa Heinemann and a day
before another guest lost as much
as 100000 marks.
