SPROUL HAS NOlOBS
FORLADNERANDCARR
A lot of fuss wis made one day '
nocausfl Jntid Muller raked lome hay;
But out at Dresner on a farm.
A score of Maudes with equal rbarm.
Can milk the cows nr hoe th Held.
And hart eat crops of mammoth yield.
THE farmerettes are hard at it on the
farms about Philndelphh doing
everything that Is expected from farm
hands and what Is more, they are sat
isfying their employers.
"What do you think of the girls?"
"They're fine!" says one farmer.
"There's no fooling with these girls
this year," says another. "They're
taking the work seriously nnd they want
to make good.
Knack Takes .Muscles' Place
Complcto satisfaction is reported by
tho fnrmcrs even for the so-called
heavy work on the farm. Knack is
largely taking the place of muscle in
tho handling of farm machinery, nnd
even nt thnt, there is no necessity for
disparaging the muscles of the farmer
ettes. The girls' arms nre hard as nails.
The work this year is not a fad or
an effort to do n patriotic bit. The
girls are in 'it because they like it nnd
many are seriously studying the land,
looking forwnrd to becoming experts.
Josephine HoUingsworth, of Ardmore,
who is with the Dresher unit of the
Woman's Land Army, is a student nt
State College, and trnctors and other
farm machinery have no terrors for her.
A. Godwin Stevenson, one of the
captnins at tho Plymouth unit, has
done dairy work for several years, and
during Inst winter lind charge of a herd
of seventy-one Holsteins down in
Mnrjland.
Fully Mr per cent of the fnrmerettes
nt work this year have had experience
before, and hnvc passed beyond the ex
perimental stage.
The land army sends out the fnrmer
ettes in units. Each unit lives in n
house with a house mother for
chnperone.
Spend Eight-Hour Day In Fields
In the morning the girls leave either
nt 7 and 8 o'clock and spend an eight
hour day in the fields, getting back home
at 4 or I) in the afternoon.
Then comes the fun. Victrolns nnd

Care of by Governor
LOAN BO! SUB
No state jobs await Albert II. Lad
ner," Jr., and William A. Carr, de
posed registration commissioners, ac
cording to a source close to Governor
Sproul.
Since tho Governor announced he
would sign the Daix-Brady bill making
changes in the board, speculation has
been busy witli the names of Mr. Lad
ner and Mr. Carr.
Humor had it that both would be
dropped from the board, but that they
would be taken care of in another wny.
Both were dropped when the bill was

Fivo of the girls from the Dresher
unit nre working nt the Thomas Median
nurseries, weeding, making cuttings nnd
planting. 1
I have no complaint, snys Mr.
Median. "Their work is well done.
This is the first year I have had them
at the nurseries, but aside from the
heaviest spade labor they can do all
kinds of work here." '
The girls themselves nre enthusiastic
nnd they certninly look as though they
were having n fine time.

one fnrmeretto ndmits. "but most of
the girls come to get fat, and they '
usually gain several pounds in spite of
the work." (
Girls Get S2.S0 a Day
The work this year Is on a strictly
business basis. The girls get from S2
to S2.n0 a day from the fnrmesr. and
out of their wages they pay for their
board and lodging. 1
The Dresher unit is presided over by
Mrs. Harriet Ilnuck, of Harriburg.
who acts both as house mother and
chnperone. Eva Kielil, of T.ancnster. is
the captain of this unit. '
The unit nt Plymouth Meeting has
two captains, A. Godwin Stevenson.

Louise Tnxson, who runs the trm,

The Woman's Land Army has more
than a hundred farmerettes at work
near Philadelphia It has been asked
to fiirnMi an additional number of
girls during Augut nnd September to
work in nrohnrds. Several small units

are wanted in Mnrlnnd.
Miss Virginia McComb, who is in
charge of work in this state, has had
a long experience in organizing nnd is
convinced that the land nrmy move

supporters of the work that an auto
mobile has been purchased fco that Land

"These patrolmen, before telling us
that we were violating the law, each
took n basket of peaches," Nathan
Weinstein, n huckster, of 122 Shunk
street, informed the court. Another
defendant alleged the policemen also re
ceived 50 cents each.
The patrolman denied the charges.
'They nre as thick as files down there,
your honor," one said, referring to
the pushcart mcu, "and we have had a
great deal of trouble in shooing tticm."
FALLS FROM FIRE ENGINE
Michael Wiseman Injured While
Making Run to Blaze
A fall from the chemical wagon of
Engine Company No. 48, which was
responding to a small lire at 30U South
Ninth street this morning, resulted in
tho possibly serious injury of Michael
Wiseman, a member of thnt company.
As the wagon turned from Seventh
street into Passyunk avenue and struck
the car tracks Wiseman was jolted off
the side and observers declare that the
wheels passed over his legs.
He was rushed to the Mount Sinai
Hospital, where a Roentgen-ray ei
amlnation will be made to determine
the extent of his injuries.
The fire was in the marble yard
owned by MIgliore & Carminati. It
Is believed to have started frtim a gas
onsinc. whfch ignited woodwork in the
small frame building in the yard. The"
damage was about $300.

agents arc investigating persons living
nt the address in this city which was
found on money-order receipts seized
in a mid on n tenement nt -13S East
Eighteenth street, New York, by bomb
squad detectives.
The detectives, who had been look
ing for the place of manufacture of
bombs which figured in the May Day
nnd June 4 outrages, discovered yes
terday in the New York tenement a
two-room apartment which had been
fitted ns n complete machine shop with
every tool for the handling of metal.
Letters were found showing thnt at
least one of the occupants of the room
was greatly interested in the affairs of
the srt-called Russian Soviet in New
York, while the BoKhevik literature
appeared to have been mailed there
partly from a Brookljn postoffice and
partly from- Philadelphia. There also
were found Rlips showing thnt money
orders had been scut to a Philadelphia
address.
Chests of Tools Found
The machinery consisted of a lathe
on which almost any kind of nn iron
or steel piece might be turned out and
two chests of machinists' tools. There
also Was a chest of carpenter's tools.
Detectives estimated thnt the value of
the outfit was $1000.
There were also found in the room
l,two war zone passes of men other
than those who were said to have been
the occupants. A letter indicated that
after being employed as a dock worker
at Camp Raritan one of the men had
been referred to the Bloomfield Muni
tions Works as a place where he prob
ably could work.
It was at first suspected that the
room might have been the machine shop
mentioned by Paul Krevitz, who, when
he was arrested in Brooklyn n few days
ago, told of the Bolshevik plans to over
throw the government, but later In
vestigations prove this to be incorrect.
In Russian Language
Much of the literature and many of
the letters were in Russian or Lithu
anian, and these were immediately
sent to police headquarters for inter
pretation. There were also found in the rooms
several rubber heels, but it was said
that these were not of the same make
as that worn by the anarchist who!
lost his life in an attempt to destroy j
the residence of A. Mitchell Palmer iui
Washington.
That one of the men nt least was,
an expert machinist was Indicated byi
the fact that a violin was found in
the sides of which some holes had
been bored and within which was a
sort of home-made phenograph attachment.

Hopeful of securing the two-platoon
system, members of the Camden
Firo Department will endeavor to in
terest members of City Council in their
fight. The fact that the proposition
I was defeated at the polls three years'
ago does not discourage the firemen.
They share the opinion that those who
voted ngnlnst the two-platoon system
were of the opinion that it meant a
great Incrensc in the tax rate.
George L. Bender, chnlrman of the
fire committee of City Council, would
not venture nn opinion as to the pos
sibility of City Council advocating the
adoption of the double-shift system.
"Personally, 1 would like to see the
firemen get shorter hours, but I feel
thnt this is not nn opportune time to
bring tho mutter up," said Mr. Ben
der, "and I am afraid that the mem
bers of City Council do not look favor
nbly upon the plan, bcause the voters
three jenrs ago voted against it."
t.oorge sclineiuer, ot tne seventn
waul, a member of tho fire committee,
expressed himself against the claims
of the firemen. He based his opposition
on the grounds thnt the measure was
decisively defeated three years ago by
the voters of the city.
"The firemen are not called upon to
do laborious work and they are as well
paid ns any in the country," said Mr.
Schneider. "Furthermore I don't think
that Camden can stand the expense of a
largo fire department which would be
necessary by the ndoption of the two
platoou 'sjstem. Perhaps In a year or
two tho plan would be worked out
more satisfactorily.
Joseph Forsyth, councilman from the
Second ward, tnmpathir.es with the
firemen in their fight. "If the firemen
can convince tho taxpayers of the city
that u two-platoon system will not
jump the tax rate, men moyue ineir
wishes will be grntified," Bald Mr.
Forsyth. lie did not think City Council
would nt this time consider the propo
sition of the firemen, even though ft
majority of the members of the coun
cilmanic body favored the plan.
