VEGETABLES TO
Be STORED NOW
State Authorities Give Some
Pointers in Regard to
Care For Them

The Bureau of Markets of the
State Department of Agricultural is
to-day calling attention to the time
ly subject of storing vegetables and
fruits for winter use:
Home storage is of importance at
all times, but it is especially SO
now, because of present price con-
ditions. This is the harvesting sea-
son for late crops and many people
find it advantageous to buy at this
for winter use.
The successful storage of vege-
tables is not difficult; in fact, good
storage facilities already exist in
most homes. it being only neces-
sary to make use of the cellar, the
attic, a large closet or others parts
OF the dwelling, depending on the
character of the product to be
stored.
A cool, well-ventilated cellar of
fers good facilities for storing vege-
tables and some fruits. Cellars con-
tanning a furnace frequently are
too warm and dry for storing root
crops, but 1t often is possible to
partition on a space in one corner
or at the end of the cellar as far
from the heating plant as possible.
Preferably there should be an out
side window in this storage space
which can be used to let in cold air
at night or at other times for the
purpose of keeping down the tenn
perature. Sound dry apples, beets,
carrots, parsnips, potatoes. pump
kins, squash. sweet potatoes and
turnips may be kept in such a room
in good condition for winter use.
For more detailed information re-
garding the storing of various crops
1t would be advisable to consult the
County Agent or write to State Col
lege,

SYNOD SESSIONS
Choose the Rev. II. B. Stock as
President of Organiza-
ton at Hanover

Hanover, Pa, Oct. 15.-The Rev.
II. B. Stock, Carlisle, was elected
president of the West Pennsylvania
synod of the Lutheran church yes

meeting of the organization in St.
Matthew's church. this place. The
Rev. Fred Sternat, Abbottstown,
Adams county, was elected secre-
tary; the Rev. Albert G. Bell, York,

mold, statistical secretary. One of
the other features of the sessions
yesterday was an address by the
Rev. DR.. William A. Granville, pres
ident of Gettysburg College.
The Rev. DR.. Granville in his ad-
dress said hodcarriers In Gettysburg
are receiving better pay than many
instructors in Pennsylvania college.
He made a plea for more adequate
support of church colleges by means
of endowments and said that if this
colleges will fall far behind State
controlled institutions. Even now,
he said, these colleges are not able
to offer the, courses desired by the
young people of the church. Dr.
Granville praised the work of the
women of the synod during the war,
and said that the personal service
experiences of the young men in the
army and navy seemed to have stim-
ulated the desires of many young
men to enter the ministry. He said
the most urgent need of the church
colleges to-day is financial aid.
DR.. Gotwald in his report made
a number of recommendations upon
which the synod probably will act.
Principal among these was one urg-
ing the synod to assume $65,929 as
its apportionment of the benevolent
fund during the fiscal year begin
ing December l; another that a new
synodical constitution be formulated
and that a committee of five be ap-
pointed to carry out this work, and
a third that the synod pledge it's
support and cooperation i'll the
benevolence campaign of the church
to be carried out during the week
of November 90 to 80.
DR.. Gotwald included a report of
the number of men in the army
and navy. the total being 2,03S, of
which 125 were wounded, and 65
killed or died of wounds and disease.
One hundred and fifty ministers and
delegates were enrolled yesterday.

FINISH
WORK ON BRIDGE
Become Impatient Near Mount
Wolf and Lay Flooring
in Short Time

Mount Wolf, Pa, Oct. 15.-After
a delay of three weeks in making
repairs to the bridge spanning the
Little Conewago creek, in the vicin-

impatient farmers set to work yes
terday morning and made the neces-
sary repairs themselves, accomplish
ing the operation in two hours time.
The structure had been closed to
traffic for three weeks, during which
period teams had to detour fully two
and one-half miles to cross the creek.

the bridge was completed about o
week ago. The delay was caused
by waiting for a consignment of
planks from Virginia, which was
expected a few weeks ago. The old
planks were used by the irritant
farmers.
