STREET LIGHTS
FOR HIGHSPIRE
Ten Years of Agitation Will
Come to Head Tuesday;
Plan Is Favored
After ten years of agitation and ef
fort oil the part of leading citizens,
the borough of Highspire will obtain
lighted streets within the next few
months. This, at least. Is the predic
tion of a prominent councilman.
A call has been issued for a special
meeting of the "borough fathers" next
Tuesday evening when the plans for
lighting the borough streets with elec
tricity will be considered. It is likely
that about forty lamps will be in
stalled at the various street intersec
tions, if the plans are adopted, and
that the lamps will be of the same
type now used In Steelton.
During the past ten years increas
ing sentiment favoring lighted streets
has caused the borough council to'
make several attempts to solve the
question. A municipally-owned plant
was considered and turned down.
Later a plan similar to the one in
operation at Royalton, where a dis
tributing station is owned by the
i borough and current is supplied by
j the York Haven Power Co., was dis
: cussed and finally an offer was made
I by the Harrisburg Light and Power
Company and it is likely that this
company, w'hicli lights the streets of
Steelton, will be given the contract
to light Highspire's streets.
William Ralph, Widely

| "Only the Wicked Shall Suffer"
This is the edict which Mona and Mary, two attractive young women, have
set forth in their campaign against unscrupulous and unprincipled men.
They have sworn to avenge the wrongs of their sex by completely turning the
tables and retaliating in their own way by preying upon the human leeches and
society parasites, which neither the judgment of law nor public opinion seems
adequate to reach.

The adventures of these two remarkable girls form the subject of a wonderful ser-
I ies of stories entitled "The Social Pirates." Each week's story is separate and
complete in itself. If you miss one you can start in again with the next, but after
you have read the first you will not want to miss any.
The plots for these stories have been conceived by that most capable of dramatists,
George Bronson Howard, and the stories have been novelized by the well known
novelist, Hugh C Weir. The works of the above playwright and author are known
to every reader and theater-goer in the United States.
