THURSDAY A BIG DAY.
Great Number of People and Autos

Road Work in Penn'a Halts.
The State Highway Commissioner has
announcad that, unless the National
Highways Council recedes from its
present position, road construction in
Pennsylvania will practically cease un-
til after the war,. There are sixty-four
roads now under construction in Penn-
sylvania. The Highways Council has
disapproved, or taken no final action, on
all except nine, This means that work
must stop, as no material of any kind
can be secured unless the Highways
Council approves the same, The im-
nce of the reads under construction
can be guaged from the fact that local
authorities are paying one half the cost,

exhibit in each class was indicated by a
blue card, the second by a red card, and
the third by a white card on which was
printed ** First Premium ” Second Pre-

tively.
t is to be hoped that those who put
forth special efforts to select their exhib.
its and did not succeed in winning pre
mium cards, do not feel discouraged ;
instead every one should feel stimulated
and encouraged to exercise greater ef-
forts in the growing as well as in select-
ing and preparing of exhibits for the
1919 display. If your apples, onions,
etc., did not receive any award, it is
beca use the apples or onions of some
one else were more uniform in shape,
size, and color, and were freer from
blemishes or injuries. Exhits should
be of the most desirable market size and
maturity ; and the quanity displayed
should contorm to the specifications in
