Brumbaugh and there are renewed reports about a State Department of Conservation, as indicated by the Telegraph last night. Details of the plan have not been touched but it Is believed that the pro posed new branch of the government would include the State Department of Forestry, the State Water Supply Com mission, the State Game Commission and the State Fisheries Commission. All of these are now separately con ducted with forces of men in the field | anil forest. The Governor's idea in reorganizing the Department of Agriculture would be to have the operations of its seven I branches conducted by bureaus and J the whole supervision by a State com mission with an executive officer, the department dealing with the land al ready improved and the various pro ducts, including dairy and food in spection, fertilizer and other materials control, orchard supervision. State veterinarian, chemistry, suppression of animal diseases and other activities connected with husbandry of various kinds. The New Department The proposed department of con servation was recommended by the Economy and Efficiency Commission and the Governor lias made a careful study of the recommendation. The report suggested a chief at $7,500, heads of bureaus of forestry, game and fish at $3,000 each. The Water Supply Commission was not included in the recommendation but its work is so closely allied that it has been considered as within the scope of con servation that should be conducted with the others. It has under its charge the water inventory, supervis | ion of dams, liydrographic work, su pervision of all structures and banks of streams and the Pymatunlng swamp project, for which the survey lias been completed and estimates are about ready for the Legislature. At the session of 1913 appropria tions aggregating $1,183,490.51 were made to the four departments which would come under the proposed De partment of Conservation and it is ithe theory that there could be con siderable savings on office and other expenses. The appropriations includ ed some public works aggregating SIBO,OOO under charge of the Water! Supply Commission. Evidence That Speaks Well For Reo Trucks I Tiie Harrisburg Automobile Com-j Ipany sold to 11. A. Hartman, the 11 v- I eryman of Steelton, Pa., a model "J" 2-ton Uco truck in October, 1913. Mr. : Hartman has kept a very accurate I and correct account of the income and : expenditures on this truck and the I following is his statement: "October 15, 1913 the Harrisburg Automobile Company delivered to me; Model "J" Reo truck for which I paid [ them $1,850. I have driven this truck I continuously since that time and have | taken all kinds of hauling and work i within a radius of 150 miles of Har- j risburg. 1 have never fulled to come! back satisfactorily when I started out, [ no matter how big a load I had or j over what condition of roads 1 went, j 1 have had this truck through the winter of 1913 and 1914 and the pres ent winter and am honest in saying that it is giving me just as good sat isfaction now as it did the day I got it. My books show the following fig ures, which as you notice include the wages I paid myself for driving It: From Oct. 15, 1915 to Feb. 3, 1915: Income $3,415,25 1 Expenses: Gasoline, oil and grease.. 240.01 I Tires 96.00 Overhauling and repairs.. 85.10* Wages paid to myself .. 1,232.00 | Total cost of operating.. 1,558.71 Net profit $1,856.54 "The truck cost me $1,850. This shows at the present time that the truck has paid for itself, the expense of operating, gave me a tidy sum and lias left me $0.54 to the good. This has been a much better investment than my horses and I consider that when a truck will pay for itself in tiie length of time I have had this truck, it is a mighty profitable thing to have. I want to say further, that the fact that I had this truck and could give quick service lias brought me lots of additional business to my livery stable. 1 expect to put another truck on in the Spring and I am very sure it will be a Reo." Paige Company Reports Many Sales at Chicago More than a half million dollars worth of Paige motor cars were sold at the Chicago Automobile show last week. This is not only far in excess of the record made by the Paige at the New York show, but, Paige offi cials believe it is the best record yet made by any company in bonatide sales at any motor car show. One of the astonishing features of this significant recognition of Paige quality and value is the fact that 263 Paige cars were sold at the Chicago siiow exclusively by the Bird-Sykcs Company, Paige distributors for Chi cago and of these 263 cars ninety-three were sold at retail directly from the floor. Add''d to the sales by the Bird- Sykes Company were large orders taken in Chicago by other Paige deal ers and distributors who were present and the total value of all orders was well over a half million dollars for the week's business. While the new "Six-4 6" was a hot favorite in the Paige line and its qual ity and distinction won for it wide popularity and immediate orders, the Paige Glenwood ":!6" also played an important part in achieving this re markable Paige record.

HARRISBURG S&KTE TELEGRAPH , LICENSE YIELDS mm Big Sum For the Legislature to Reappropriate to the Game Commission's Work Bills are being prepared to specifi cally appropriate Vo the State Game Commission over half a million dol lars paid into the State Treasury as hunters' licenses. Under the license act half of the revenue realized was to go to the commission for establish ment of game preserves and halt' for reimbursement of counties for pay ments of bounties for scalps of wild cats, foxes, owls and other animals and birds which annoy farmers and poultry raisers. The point was raised that the money could not be paid without a specific appropriation. Bills to correct this condition have been prepared. The license was taken out by 310,000 persons in 1913 and by about 303,000 in 1914, the expenses of shipments, fees of county treasurers and others having to do with the licenses netting between $260,000 and $270,000 for each year. Claims for over $187,000 have been made by lifty-four counties which paid bounties and probably SIO,OOO more will be asked. The game committee of the Housa has before it the bill to repeal hunt ers' license, on which a hearing will be held, and the Lynch bill to pro j hibit foreign-born unnaturalized men from hunting or from keeping dogs. The bill comes from Fayette county where there are large foreign settle ments and would end what has become a nuisance in many sections where troops of dogs are kept by people who feed them very little. It would also affect the southwestern counties which | are noted for sheep raising. Dogs are a source of much loss and many of them are owned by foreigners. Commission to Report on Much The "commission form of govern ment" will not be a popular feature of the present Legislature because of the reduced revenue of the State. Thus far but few bills or resolutions pro viding for commissions have made their appearance in the Legislature and some of these are characterized by the phrase "to serve without remune ration," tacked after the provision for the appointment of the proposed com missioners. Two commission bills already in troduced call for aggregate appro priations amounting to $20,000. One measure provides for the creation of a commission to investigate the alms i bouses of the State, and report on j their condition and needs, and car- I l ies an appropriation of SIO,OOO for i expenses. The other bill creates a I commission to codify the laws relating 'to decedents' estate and also calls for ■slo,ooo expense money. \ There is a third bill creating a coin j mission but no appropriation is called for. This is the measure providing lor a commission to investigate the 1 practicability of purchasing proper j ties facing Independence Hall in Phil adelphia to establish a plaza or State | Park. The last Legislature voted $2,513,- I tiOO for commissions.

Olds made his first four-cylinder car and called it f N y REO W He turned this child out into the hands of the Philistines and in about six months it developed smallpox and scarlet fever. He injected some anti-toxin in it for 1911 and during that year the boy had nothing more serious than measles and whooping cough. Another injection in 1912 brought the young man down to a case of nothing more serious than a skin rash and a sour stomach. Ihe full-fledged man that started out on the road in the hands of rough drivers in 1913 did not have a single blemish to his credit. Since that time lie has been employing a more up-to-date tailor to cut the clothes for this promising party in a more up-to-date fashion and 1914 and 1915 was devoted to putting the very last finishing touches on this, what we know, is the best, most up-to-date and eco nomical car made in the United States at anything near the price.
