ORD TOBACCO CROP
OUTLOOK IN LANCASTER
Fine Appearance and Develop.
ment Combine With Superior
Quality in Plant
LANCASTER Pa., July 30. The Havana
teed tobacco of Lancaster County was
topp during- the last voel, as was some
of the early planted Pennsylvania broad
teat. Not In many years has a crop pre
Itnted as promising an nppearance at this
ltge of Its growth, a fact largely due to
the superior quality of the plants, which
were unusually fully developed when trans
ferred to the field from tho 'seed bed, and
the generally favorable weather conditions
that have prevailed slnco tho crop was
planted.
The raids of the cutworms have cpnneri.
the plants being too large for them to Injure
now. Considerable tobacco In the vicinity
of Lltltz was damaged by hall when the
plants were younger, but they still have
time In devoloplng to fully recover from
the rough treatment received. The back
ward hay and wheat crops were a handl.
cap to the farmers who wero also tobacco
growers, as they were prevented from giving
the tobacco fields the attention they should
have had, and In consequence of this un
avoidable neglect the weeds ran riot.
The farmers, relieved of harvest .work,
are now turning their attention to the to
bacco fields. Tobacco experts say that the
present condition of the plants promises
stalks of unusual weight, as compared with
last season's comparatively llght-wclght
italks. With 25,000 acres In tobacco, this
year's crop Is expected to be a record
breaker, with at least 76,000 c.iscb.

Service Board Dismisses Complaint,
Except One Hern Six-Cent
Fares Discussed
HARRISBima, July 30. Tho Public
Service Commission, In an opinion by Com
missioner Milton J. Ilrecht, has dismissed
the complaint of the borough of Shenandoah
gainst the Schuylkill Railways Company
except In one Hem, In which It orders the
company to replace tics within sixty days.
The opinion contains this discussion of a
charge of six cents for fares:
"While It Is true that the testimony
hows that on a number of prosperous
railway lines tho faro Is only five cents
per zone, there arc roads where the zone
rate Is six cents. Tho rate question Is
too complex and Includes too many ele
ments of local color to bo holved simply
on tho basis of comparing the rate on
one road with that of nnother. It may
be true, as Intimated by counsel of com
plainants, thai there Is an lnllated or
fictitious value given by respondent to Its
property, but until such fact Is disclosed
by a proper valuation of the railway com
pany's property such an Insinuation, how
ever broadly made, will not servo any
useful purpose In finding an answer to
the question at Issue.
Tho commission in a general order makes
Corrections In the original cost figures In
tho decision In the case of tho boroughs of
preensburg, Jcannctte, Youngwood, Irwin
and others ngalnst tho Westmoreland Water
Company, one of tho big water cases de
cided this year. In other Items to which
the company objected, tho opinion Bays that
the commission feels that Its findings were
Just and reasonable. Tho opinion con
cludes: "The fair value of the respondent's prop
erty for rate-making purposes, making due
allowances for the Items omitted In the sum
mary of original cost, Is now found to bo
$1,125,000 and tho allowance for fair re
turn to the respondent Is now found to be
$78,750."

RKADINO, Pa., July 30. Philadelphia
promoters are said to be back of a scheme
to establish n municipal piggery on the city
outskirts, where It Is proposed to feed 6000
porkers with the city's garbage
Protests aro already coming from the
sections adjoining the site where It Is pro
posed to cstnblish the hog farm, The resi
dents object to squeals and grunts of pigs
wafted to them on the breezes along with
the scent of tho animals themselves and tho
collection of rcfuso ftd to them.
Advocates of the scheme declaro that It Is
intended to get a superior grade of hogs,
but there Is n suspicion that they will bo
about In the' same class with those to which
South Philadelphia objects.
It Is said that the agitation by the
Housewives' League for conservation and
economy In the household has resulted In
cutting down tho garbage, but that there
Is still enough to feed 6000 hogs.
Mayor Filbert has approved the project
for a city piggery.
The pigs will feed on everything you
put before them, and this means thnt the
city can do without a garbage-reduction
plant." is the way one city official ex
pressed It.
Those favoring the project see "millions
In It" for the city. Five thousand hogs Is
the lowest number It Is Intended to feed, and
the piggery Is to be established Just beyond
the suburbs, Plcgcry or no piggery has
become a burning Issue among residents of
Reading.

Was Organized July SO, 1747,
With 44 Members
ruiTis Pa.. July 30. The Moravian

bers. The Rev. Anton Wagner was the
first' pastor.
According to J. M. Levering, who wrote
the history of Bethlehem. John CJottlteb

We should try to make our houses compose with the landscape just

If it ia desired to paint tho walls, they
may bo mado Interesting and attractive by
tho use of u decorative frieze. These
friezes, which come In paneltt varying In
depth from fourteen Inches to twenty Inches,
aro printed in gay colors on backgrounds of
blue, gray, Ivory white, drab or other nou
tral tones that can be matched cxnclly In
the color of tho walls. Tho designs include
processions of Noah's Ark, Inhabitants,
farmyard unlmals, chickens nnd ducks
Normandy peasants going to market, toy
villages with btlff little soldiers and prim
looking trees, hunting scenes or a row of
Dutch kiddles Indulging In a mad race

If wallpaper Is used. It also matches the
background of tho frieze, tho paper being
either ln a solid color or with a figure so
Inconspicuous that It gives the Impression
of a single tone.
Another method of decoration which has
proved popular Is to first cover tho walls
with a paper of a solid color, to be used
as a background for single figures or
groups .that nre cut from friezes and pasted
on to suit one's Individual taste. Tho fig

minimum of Interference with the scholastic
and civilian pursuits of the boys so trained."
Mr. Morln said tonight:
There must be many retired army offi

upon for the strenuous active service con
nected with war preparations, but who
hae the training, exnerlenco and admin
