GOOD FOR DUNCANNON

~ UNCANNON has gone automo-
billing to-day. The town is shut
up tight as a drum. All car
owners, and many who went along
as guests, are advertising the merits
Of their home town throughout Gen.
trail Pennsylvania to-day and are
having a pleasurable outing at the
same time.
DunCannon shows Il fine COM
munity spirit. No town with a large
"hold back" element can do such
things, and as proof that the resi-
dents have their minds on more
than mere jollifiCation. it is an
nounced that the borough is about
TO acquire a very desirable park.
Mere power to the live-wires who
are putting Duncannon on the map
Patriotism begins at home. The
country is made up of small COM
munities and those who are striving
to make their own home towns better
places in which to live and who are
oultivating community spirit among
the people are helping make the
whole nation better and stronger.

A couple of market fishermen of
southeastern Kansas are catching big
river cats" with tackle that re-
sembles an old whale fishers equip
ment. Enormous barbed hooks take
the place of harpoons. Each hook
has a socket instead of the usual
eye, and is held by friction on the
end of long pole, to which it is al
SO fastened by two feet of stout cord.
Familiar with the habits of the giant
catfish, the men have no difficulty
in locating the holes where they lie.
When a fish is "snagged" the jerk
detaches the hook from the pole. and
the captive is played until it gives

Presidents Opportunity

tFrom the Springfield Republican,
AS for the President, he has an
excellent opportunity to regain
much of the popular favor which he
is believed to have lost in the past
six or seven months. He could now
pursue no wiser course than to
show harmonizing and concila-
tory temper in all directions and
to all sides. If he must fight let
no effort be omitted to make the
necessity for blows clear to the peo-
pie. If he must tour the states in
order to win the backing of the
country as against the Senate In
the matter of the League of Nations,
let him go forth only after having
made sincere and friendly advances
to the opposition for an accommoda-
tion of outstanding differences

The First Ratification

IF it were done when 'tis done,

day to the passage of the act rati-
sNing the treaty of peace-an act

1t is unfortunate, perhaps. that
the Campbell proposal implies crit.

however, solely as a measure ap-
plying to the future-which 1t is,
There can be no question that the

T.. w. Dickson of the Pleasant Val
ley section of Fort Mill township. who
with Mrs. Dickson, is visiting the family
of Mr.. E. Nj. Dickson on Yorkville No.
l, said Saturday that crops in some
sections of Fort Mill township have
suffered heavily because Of what is
thought to have been poisonous sub
stances in American substitute potash
which has been used in great quanti-
ties. 1t is believed that the potash
contains too much borax which has
caused damage to the crops. There N
considerable concern throughout the
township over the matter according to
Mr.. Dickson and efforts are being
made to have government experts come
to Fort Mill and go over the areas af-
fected.
There was an informal discussion OF
the price that Yor. county farmers
are to pay for cotton picking this fall
held yesterday during the meeting OF
the York County Cotton association
CHAIRMAN ~ S'Seti si'e
the matter was not one for the esso-
citation to take up at this time; but
suggested that an informal discussion,
of the matter might prove advanta-
geous TO the farmers. Mr.. j. T. Craw-
ford of McConnellsville said thet he
thought seventy-ive cents per hu'.-
dred was a fair price at which to start
off the season. Mr.. G. C. ormond OF
Yorkville No. agreed with Mr.. Craw-
ford but thought the price might be
increased to 81 per hundred abou'
Nov. 1. IT was the consensus of opin-
ion that the problem was one which
each community should settle for IT
self. Mr.. r. T. Castles of Smyrna said
that there was some talk in his section
of the cotton pickers organizing a sort
of union and setting a price at whicn
they would agree 20 pick.

There are sixteen prisoners in the
county Jail awaiting trial at The ap-
preaching term of court Of general
sessions, the largest number in quite al
long while. All OF the prisoners ar,.
negroes.
Rural carriers over the county and
other postal employees had a holiday
yesterday on account of Labor Day, 4
national holiday. There was no formal
celebration of the day>in York county
and the postal employees, most of them,
spent the day quietly resting in their
homes.
Eggs are bringing forty-hve cents a
dozen on the Yorl;ville market and are
very scarce even at that price. 1t is
understood that the same price is be-
ing paid in Glover and the price at
Ave cents lower. One local man said
yesterday that he would like to buy
one hundred dozen at forty-five cents.

- The Union members among the
employees of the United States steel
corporation are pressing for confer
ence with the management of the cor
poration' over the question of hours of
labor wages and living conditions.
Also there is involved the more import
land question OF recognition by the
United States steel corporation of the
organization representative of the
workers. During many years the cor
poration has not recognized the union.
among it's workers. IL has built up a
system under which the more intelli..
gent and skilled among the steel work
ers get pay far out of proportion to the
pay of the same class Of workers IN
other lines while the less intelligent
and less skilled get far less pay in
proportion. BY reason of this system,
the more skilled workmen are suppos-
ed to be so well satisfied that they>are
removed from sympathy with the
great mass of workers. On the other
hand as high as they have placed the
wages of the workers of the favored
class, the steel corporation demands
more of the public for its products
than does any other industry in the
country. For years the steel corpor-
alton has absolutely refused to recog-
rize the union organizations as reprci
scntatives. of it's employees, insisting
upon it's right to deal with employees
as individuals. Within the past few
months, the American Federation of
Labor Samuel Gompers, president,
has taken up the issue, and not long
ago President Gary of the steel cor
lporation was asked to indicate will
fingness to grant conference H n
certain date. He has declined. The
time limit has not expired. The Amer
lean Federation says that unless Gary
changes his mind within ths time
specified there will be a strike vote
among the union members Of the steel
workers and there will be a test Of
strength.
