HARRISBURG ajSKfe TELEGRAPH
HICK-A-THRIFTS ARE
HAVING GREAT TIME
Hosts of Visitors Help Make Camp
Life Along the Juniata
Merry
The Hick-a-Thrift Class of the Pino
Street Presbyterian Church Sunday
School Is camping in the grove along
the Juniata river about one-half mile
from Millerstown.
| The grove is a beautiful spot at the
' entrance to the narrows. The famous
j Tuscarora Gap lies Just beyond the
camp. This gap Is a narrow opening
in the mountain ridge through which
. the highway, the old canal, the blue
j Juniata and the railroad squeeze,
j This section ofttimes been called
I the Switzerland of America with its
I towering mountains on either sidt
. and is known in the legends of the
Tuscarora Indians who settled here in
the time of the Six Nations, coming
I from the Carolinas.
| The camp has had the pleasure of
I hosts of visitors from all sections of
the country, coming by canoe and
auto, and even the tramps have given
the camp their presence. A sailor on
a torpedoed Norwegian vessel gave
the campers a history of the sinking
of the vessel by a German submarine.
Have Ideal Ctimp
The campers have pitched their
[tents beneath large hickory and chest
nut trees. They have ten tents and
a large ifavilion, In which they have
their meals. The meals are served in
sj.lendid style and cannot be better.
The cook is the finest in his line and
is all the time arranging tempting
dishes. The table is lighted at night
with carbide lights and the neat tin
ware and white oilcloths make the
dishes all the more inviting.
The evenings are spent in amuse
ments and the music is furnished by a
graphaphone and a homemade violin.
A large 40-foot flagpole was raised
with simple ceremonies and the patri
otism of the camp waves high above
the campers. The pavilion is deco
rated with Chinese lanterns and the
Stars and Stripes. The rain of Sat
urday almost dampened the ardor of
the campers, but the chicken corn
soup and the various side dishes, end
ing with the celebrated Thompson
town ice cream, raised their spirits
again.
The farmers have been most friendly
and the chickens, corn, tomatoes, milk,
butter and buttermilk have fattened
the lean city-fed fellows. One of the
campers has already gained twelve
pounds. The carnn was invited to a
corn-boil at Jhe Elms, a cottage about
a inile above t,he camp.
The campers have already con
sumed about forty dozens of corn.
Canoe Trips and Hikes
The members in the camp have all
attended Sunday school and have been
most welcome, taking part in each of
the services. A large 18-foot banner
spans the road, bearing the words
"Hick-a-Thrift Camp—Pine Street
Presbyterian Church Sunday School,
Hatrisburg, Pa." The canoeing and
swimming have been fine, while the
fishing has been confined to eels, bass
and catfish.
Trips to Slaughterback and Bear
Rock and Rattlesnake Canyon have
'been features. A large cornroast was
given Monday evening to the people of
the town. The campers prepared a
large log cabin from the railroad
ties. They floated down the river
thirty-nine ties, borrowed a horse and
hauled the ties and a large chestnut
tree to the camp. After constructing
a pioneer log cabin an Indian attack
was carried through and the cabin set
afire by the "Indians" after a battle
with the "settlers." After nine hours
of burning the corn was placed In
the cinders and came out in its most
tempting style. By the light of the
full moon thirteen dozen ears were
thus consumed. The evening was
spent in games and an Indian war
dancp,
The following were visitors . and

WANT SECURITIES EXCHANGED
By Associated Press
Paris, Aug. 26, 11:30 a. m.—Finan
cial writers of the press propose that
the government invite French holders
of readily negotiable American securi- j
ties to exchange them for national de
fense bonds. Thus the treasury might
avoid the necessity of transferring
gold in payment of supplies purchased

Last October the First Manufac
turers' Pure Food Exhibit was con
ducted in Harrisburg, under the di
rection of Wltman-Schwarz Company

These plans are now beginning to
erystallze, and what promises to be
the best pure food exhibit ever held in
Central Pennsylvania will take plac6
in Chestnut Street Auditorium begin
ning October 18 and closing October
23.
Keen Interest has been displayed on
the part of manufacturers to display
their products at the coming food
show, and already many of the spaces
have been allotted to exhibitors. There
[will be more booths this year than at
the last exhibition and some unusually
handsome and novel decorations are
promised by those who will have

BARBED WIRE PAINTED GREEN
By Associated Press
Pittsburgh, Pa., Aug. 26. Barbed
wire painted a foliage green is now
being manufactured here for use of
the armies in Europe. Barbed wire
is ordinarily galvanized but because
of the scarcity and high price of
spelter, a local manufacturer devised
a scheme to paint it. Steel men say
that reports from abroad show that at
a short distance away, it is impossible
to see the green wire.
