8 YORK CO. TOWNS ARE BOOMING Great Prosperity at Emigsville and Mount Wolf; Factory Wheels Humming Mount. Wolf, Pa., April B.—'York county Is not trailing along on tho wave of prosperity which is sweeping over the country at the present time. She is among the leaders, and is one of the busiest sections in the State. Goldsboro and York Haven are rushed with work, the result of the big war in Europe, and now come the reports from Emigsville and Mount Wolf which show that those towns are in very flourishing conditions. Both of these towns are attractive to the visitor and their residents give every indication that they are working for the welfare of the community in which they live. Granolithic sidewalks run for thousands of feet in Emigsville and Mount Wolf, and then. too. the men are put. to work on the streets scraping and getting them in good condition for the summer travel. In Mount Wolf at the present time a drag is being used and it will help in re pairing every street in the town. Of the two towns. Mount Wolf is the largest and has four industrial plants to its credit. Emigsville has only one industry, a wagon works, where two score of Acme wagons are manufac tured daily. Making Wire Fabrics The American Wire Fabrics Com- J pany is the largest industry in Mount Wolf and employment is given to about 200 men. Wire cloth and screen Is made by the thousand yards and In turning out the product almost three hundred looms are in operation. The plant was established here about twelve years ago and at that time only a few men were employed. The busi ness grew and during the past few years several new buildings have been erected and the output greatly in creased. The main office of the fabric company is in Chicago and branch fac tories are located in Clinton, lowa, and Niles, Mich. Another important plant, in the town is operated by the Mount Wolf Furni ture Company, of which Henry Wolf is president and I. Park Wogan is man ager. In this large plant dining-room furniture of all descriptions is manu factured and many pieces are sold by furniture dealers inllarrisburg. Tables, chairs, buffets and china closets are included In the factory's output. At the present time 12 5 men are em ployed in the furniture factory and when other skilled men apply they will be given positions. Sixteen years ago, when the company first began op erations, only forty persons were em ployed. The Keystone Table Company's plant is the baby industry of the town and has only been in operation since last < ictober. However, the business is growing and the. eleven men employed there now are working every day fill ing orders. The company makes tables only and turns out from twenty to twenty-five each week. They are shipped to various sections of Penn sylvania and quite a number of them are sent to dealers In llarrisburg. The company's output is library tables and they are finished in mahogany, quar tered oak and all other finishes. Mount Wolf's fourth industry is a shirt factory and is known as the Mount Wolf Manufacturing Company. Cotton and wool shirts are made for a New Tork .lobbing house and about 225 dozens are made each week. At the present time twenty-four girls are employed in the factory and many others would be employed if they would apply. The shirts are sent to the factory already cut out and at the Mount. Wolf plant they are sewed to gether and finished. The industry is one of the most successful in the town. Wagon Works In Emigsville the only industry is wagon making, and at the plant of Ihe Acme Wagon Company. The plant has been in operation for thirty years and was started by E. K. Emig, who still conducts the business. In the be ginning about a half-dozen men were employed and now the payroll con tains the names of 125 men. At the entrance to the plant is displayed a POLITICAL ADVERTISING EDWARD DAPP Republican candidate for the office of Representative of the General As sembly, first district, Harrisburg, Pa.

Haskin [Continued From Kditoiial Page.] able from a sunken log—unless something comes too near. In his typical posture of medita tive repose, the alligator looks inert, almost helpless. Yet he can make a very respectable dash on dry land, in the water nothing is his superior, and the stroke of his jaws is like that of a guillotine. The farm here pos sesse one 'gator of irritable disposi tion who can be induced to strike at a broom by little teasing. One stroke of his jaws might easily sever the body of a man. His long, sinewy tall works in ex act co-ordination - with his mouth, sweeping the victim directly into it, and this is always the 'gator's first move in hunting and battle. Having secured a hold on his victim, he lets go for an instant to obtain a second and deeper hold, sinking a yard or so of his dentition Into the flesh. A creature of great agility may escape between holds; but after the second stroke of the jaws, whatever part the alligator has chosen to seize belongs to him. There is no such thing as escape. His method of operating after he has gained his final grip is absolutely unique. He begins to turn over and over, thus converting himself into a living tourniquet that quickly severs the neck or leg of the largest animal, or twists the bod yof the smaller one to pieces. If on land this turning process consists in a series of clumsy somersaults, and may frequently be seen here at the farm. In the water, the 'gator can turn 'with lightning speed, and the whole process of at tacking and tearing up a victim is carried out like the stroke of a dag ger. There are Instances known to the local hunters of men having been at tacked by large alligators. One man swimming In the Miami river was seized by a 'gator, carried to the bank, and down one of the holes in which the reptiles live. Neither he nor his remains were ever recovered. Ano ther man, who was a very skillful swimmer was attacked and bitten three times: but each time he twisted himself out of the deadly jaws before the 'gator could get his final grip. That the alligator should be his own Nemesis seems particularly fit ting, in view of his immunity to death in most other forms; but it presents the great problem in rais ing him for the market. Tt is im possible to provide a separate enclos- ' ure for each of the six thousands alligators, and giving them plenty of room does no good. Ti.ey all crowd into one corner, where they invari ably murder and mutilate each other. There is only one large alligator on the place which has all four legs and a complete tail. Perhaps the next greatest difficulty in commercializing the alligator Is the extreme durability of his hide. Like the alligator In life, it seem to en dure forever. When 'properly tanned the richness of its color and the smoothness or its finish improve with age. No one has ever to replace any thing made of alligator leather, atid At present the business Is hampered by the fact that all of the tanneries in the country are booked to capa city with shoe leather, and is im possible to get alligator hides tanned.

The scenario in one of the re cent William Fox productions called for the ingenue to fall into an icy cold lake, with the temperature hovering around the zero mark. She leaped in as ordered. "Hurry up and throw me that rope." she yelled to her rescuer. Hurry, or I'll catch pneumonia." Still the rescuer delayed, gloating just a little that his enemy was floun dering around in the cold water. "W-e-e-1-1, w-hat y-y-you w-a-a-l-t --ing for?" asked the chattering woman. "For you to catch pneumonia," non chalantly answered the rescuer. Peggy Hyland, one* of the most popu lar of British actresses, who first ap peared with Cyril Maud at the London playhouse, has been added to the ranks of the Famous Players. She Is just a "slip of a girl," charming, winsome and thoroughly unaffected, not at all the sort of a person one would expect to do so much daring things before the camera. LOCAL THEATERS Mnude Adams Of the theatrical announcements made so far this season, none has awakened more pleasure than that tell ing of the appearance of Maude Adams at the Orpheum, Wednesday, April la. The famous actress is to be seen in "The Little Minister." the first of J. M. Barrle's plays to win great success In this country and the one, by the way, which served to establish Mis Adams In the affections of theatergoers throughout the country. When Miss Adams a few seasons ago revived "Peter Pan." It was hailed with pleas ure by those who had previously view ed the work and by those to whom it was a novelty. But everyone asked: "Why don't Miss Adams also give us "The Little Minister?' We want to see it." The demand that Lady Babbie, Gavin Dishart, the little minister; Nan nie Webster and the four elders of the kirk who wore so prone to gossip about their minister, be brought back kept growing and the present production is the result. The comedy's new friends are as much delighted with it as are Its old. The company and production Is to be the same as were seen during Miss Adams' long stay in New York. Jane Gail, favorite of moving pictures and famous as a stage celebrity in many great dramas, will ■lane Gall be the Queen Flavia in In "Rupert "Rupert of Hentzau," to of Hentzau" be exhibited at the Re gent Theater to-day only. Henry Ainley. a popular leading man, will be her principal support, playing the dual role of Rudolf Rassendyll and Kin* Rudolf V of Ruritanla. While Queen Flavia ruled in Rusi tania, her heart was in the keeping of an Englishman who had been crowned with her at a time when the rightful king was held a prisoner. The com plete story of "Rupert of Hentzau" con stitutes a film that is noted for fine acting and an impelling love story.

"The Raiders" was written i by J. G. Hawks and directed by Charles Swlkard, and under the supervision of Thomas H. Inie. The scenes are laid j in New York City and the Adirondack I Mountains, and the action moves with great swiftness. Many incidents occur in the New York Stock Exchange. War ner's leading woman is Dorothy Dal ton, who has already been seen in "The Disciple." with William S. Hart.

I had two perfectly lovely runaways in Central Park while playing in New York last Spring. Once a dashing Adonis of a mounted police overtook and rescued me in regular movie style. The next time I jumped my runaway into an artificial lake and swam him around in a circle until he lost heart. It was great fun for me and the children on the play grounds, but the swans were scared silly. A policeman wanted to arrest me for violating some absurd park rule, but I gave him a few glad smiles and he felt me off with a stern warn ing.
