The success of the Connecticut Valley
Tobacco association is practically as
sured. if the rate at which the contracts
are now being signed is continued for
10 days. There are at present 1000
acres signed up and contracts are being
sent to the office every day, which adds to
the total
At a meeting of the organization COM
nittee this week it was announced that
only about 1000 acres were needed to
secure the required 20 per cent, it being
stated that the total amount of stalk
cut tobacco in the Connecticut valley
was $4,000 acres and of this amount
300 acres cannot be secured on account
of its ownership. This leaves about
n. 800 acres to work ON TO get the u 900
acres which is the necessary % per cent
which must be secured in order to organ
ize the association. This means that
1900 acres more must be signed before
the end of this month.
During the past few days the canvass
ers report that more signatures have been
secured than during any few days Since
the work was started and if the rate
continues the total number of acres re-
quired will be signed by the end of next
week
There are at present 2,107 growers
who have signed contracts, which is Il
much larger number than the committee
expected to have at this early date. The
chairman, Judge Levi p NJ Hickey, of
the committee stated at the meeting that
as the work was proceeding so nicely he
wanted to secure more than the 20 per
cent and he suggested that a flying squad
ron be organized. The work of the squad
ron was started yesterday with great
success. 1t will be continued 4 few days
longer. The towns visited on Wednes-
day were Enfield, Somers, Vernon and

Other Utilities in Penna. Affected by Lack of Water
Especial to The Herald)


 Philadelphia, Oct 6.-With the shutting down yesterday of the Lin coin washery at West schuylkill. near Pottsvllle, four Philadelphia and | Reading coal operations have sus- | pended and every coal operation in l central Pennsylvania seems doomed as a result of the dryest spell this l state has seen in half a century. The Schuylkill river at Pottsville is so low the current has practically | disappeared. At Reading where the river usually is navigable by small streams, barges and other river craft, the stream is so low that it is pos sible to walk across the river bed for the first time in 40 years. At Jamison City tannery has been forced to shut down for lack of water The local electric light plant at Orangeville, near Bloomsburg, has suspended operations. Flour mills in the country districts have closed and beds of creeks are covered with dead fish.
 In the Connellsville region wells that have not failed for 60 years, are dry. The Pennsylvania Railroad pool in Indian Creek is over four feet be- low the overflow and railroads are hauling water for miles.
 Supply Is Limited.
 In Ashland, Schuylkill Haven, Ores. soma, Minersville and other places the towns are on water supply of sev- eral hours daily. Ashland has water but two hours each day, and Potts vile is said to have but one hours supply daily.
 Practically all through the state | washing sidewalks or sprinkline lawns is forbidden on penalty of hay. ing the water supply cut off entirely Farmers in the agricultural district! are feeding their stock in barns or dry hay and oats.

 In the west, Johnstown, oil City, Cannonsburg, Mannheim, Royalton, Center City and other places are drawing on their auxiliary water sup plies. The normal water supply of many of these towns Is exhausted and there is grave ire danger.
 Forest Fires Bad.
 Chief Fire Warden c. H. Wirt re- ports the forest fire situation the worst since 1909 In Elk and Clear field counties vast forest fires are smolderlng and only a drenching rain can extinguish them.
 In Greensburg, aso in the west the city officials are considering restrict ing water to certain industries. In the south, warnings have been issued In York county to conserve water. In Northumberland and Columbia coun- ties springs and trout streams are dried up. Tn northeastern Pennsyl- vania there has been no rainfall for months All the streams in the state have reached extremely low water marks, and at Wilkes Barre the sus- quehanna river Is as low as 1t has been at any time in its history.
 There has been little rain in the state since July, and none since Sep tember 12.

SCHOOL CHILDREN
 HOOK" FREE RIDES
Connecticut Company Motormen Com. plain of Free Passengers Riding
 on Steps to Rear Entrance

Motormen operating the one-n1an
 trolleys on many of the Connecticut company lines within the city limits are complaining of the number of school children, especially the boys
 who jump on the steps leading tc
 the rear entrance of the car and ir this manner hook free ride" often times for quite distance
 On the Stanley street line there have been instances along Hartford avenue and North street when girls have also taken advantage of secur. l ing free ride. It appears that the youngsters know that the motormer | in charge of the cars cannot see them
 when they are riding on the rear f steps and each time the car stops or slows up they will hop off so that the motorman will not catch them in case he looks out from the front en- trance.
 The motormen in charge of the cars consider it matter of safety first and for that reason are opposed to the children taking such rides. Tn a few instances there have been extra motormen riding to their homes on the trolleys who have seen the children secure rides and who operate the car for the regular motorman while he goes through the car to the rear and opens these doors in an attempt to catch one of the victims.
 The riders, however. are usually more alert than the trolleymen and hop off of the car before the door is opened. The trolleymen feel that the practice Is a dangerous one and would like to have it stopped.
