Bishop William Frazer McDowell, D. D.. LL. D.. a strong and able man has been secured to make the after noon address at 2.30 o'clock.

"Do Your Canning Early" Housewives' League Tip By Associated Press ; New York, July 22. A campaign urging housewives throughout the •country te "do your canning early" was , begun to-day by the national executive committee of the Housewives' League. The committee s tip says: "The housewives of the country are losing an opportunity to save money for themselves and for the producer in ' not canning the usual amount of fruit iat this season. The reason given is the high price of sugar, althougii it is only three cents above the normal quota tion. This is a home canning season it there ever was one. and we ask women everywhere to All their own larders with delicious homemade canned fruit, which will produce toth economy and health in the family and greatly aid the prouueers of fruit. Fruit is cheap this year, the appeal adds, and next year commercial canned fruit will dc hicher "on account of the increase in 1 the cost of tin." PLEASANT DAYS AT COVE Sfecial to the Tclegrafh Cove.

D. Enroute to Border, Nearly Loses Its Whole Heart; the Great Ride Camp Stewart, r ort Bliss. Texas. July 15.—Take it from the fellows who surely think thoy know, the prettiest girls between Harrisburg and El Paso live in Terre Haute. Ind. The knowing fellows are the men of Company D, Eighth, Infantry, Na tional Guard of the United Stales. Terre Haute was one of a dozen or more lively cities we passed through on our way down here and in every ftation hosts uf folks met us at the train with lemonade and cake and ; other stuff to remind us in that pleas ant way of the lolks at home. And at nearly every station the townspeople must have figured that we'd want to ; see the niftiest "skirts." And believe ; me, we saw 'em all. The Girl Of course we have the prettiest girls in the world back in the old home town—some o f 'cm anyway—the boys down here will nil tell you that. But oh! you Terre Haute girls. The prettiest along the way live at Terre Haute, ar.d that's why so much mail that goes in and out of Fort Stewart these days is postmarked Terre Haute. Ird. But to go on with my story of the trip to the Rordi r. The Story of the Trip Sunday evening. July 9, Company D left Mount Gretna bound for El Paso, Texas. There was great rejoicing among the men from Harrisburg that .they were at last ordered to the Bor-, der. When the train stopped at Har risburg some ot the scenes of the pre vious parting vcre enacted over again. Boxes of dainties wer - passed through the windows to the different men by their friends and were very much en joyed. as they will probably be the last to be received for some time. The company then passed through Altoona. Pittsburgh and west to Co lumbus, Ohio, arriving at Columbus about 5.20 a. in. Monday. Then the men were taken out of the coaches and given about twenty minutes' walk on the main street. Incidentally we pot a glipse of the capital city of Ohio. The next large town we passed through was the capital of Indiana, Indianapolis The Reminder of Home The men were not allowed to get off the train and only a glimpse could be had of this city. The dome of the capitol reminded them of the State House back home. The Mississippi river was crossed about midnight and the company then passed through St. Louis to Kansas City. Here the men were transferred from day coaches to Pullmans, which certainly was a relief to the men. The men were then told to disrobe, as a nice hose of water was waiting for them outside the coaches. This bath was greatly appreciated and made the men feci almost like different persons. The company then traveled south west through Topeko. Kan., and the rich wheat, corn and alfalfa belts of this great state; through sparsely set tled Oklahoma, touching the north western part of Texas, then through the tardy plains of New Mexico to Fort Bliss. Fort Bliss was reached at 5.50 Thursday morning, after traveling 2.139 miles in about 84 hours. At Fort Bliss The men took breakfast on the train and then pitched in to work. They marched about one mile north of Fort Bliss and immediately started pitch ing camp on a sandy plain just 2,970 feet aboe sea level. This plain was covered with mesquite. cactus and some sage brush, which was all cleared off by the willing guardsmen. The plain is inhabited by lizzards. horned loads, field mice, grophers and many kinds of ants. It was great fun for the men of th-; North to chase these different animals while awaiting the alignment of the different companies. Mountains? Sure; Company D has not been affected so far by the chance in climate and lhe heat doesn't reem much greater than in Harrisburg at this season of the year. This is- clue to the dry atmos phere and the air that is constantly stirring. Directly west of the com pany is a chain of mountains (part of the Sacramenta Ridge), and the air was so clear that the men thought they were about one mile away. In. fact, it is just six and one-half miles to the top of the nearest peak. The men can see a ridge of mountains east of them which is about ninety miles away. Last evening Privates Zimmer man and Cummings decided they were going to climh to the top of the near est peak, but after traveling about three hours and killing a rattlesnake on the way they decided they would give it up until some other time and returned to camp. The first two days were spent in get ing the camp in good condition and Saturday morning was inspection. Monday the men will begin the regular camp drills and by that time every man will be accustomed to the climate. In El Paso Corporals Selway. Slatter - - and Rretz. with Privates G. J. Selway, Diener, Fairall. Goudy Shearer, Mum mert and J. L Wolf, got their first glimpse of El Paso, the international bridge and the Rio Grande Saturday morning. They were very much dis appointed in th* river and the bridge. They expected to see a large body of water and a fancy bridge. Instead they saw a low. muddy stream about one-half dry, easily forded, and a low two-pan, plain iron bridge, one half painted red (American side) and the other half painted black (Mexican side). Exactly in the center of this bridge, where i.he red and black lines meet, is the dividing line between Mexico and the United States. Red and Black It certainly was a strange sight to see our trim American soldier pa troling one side of the bridge, while a Mouchy Mexican, clothed in a white shirt and loose overalls, patrolled the other side. .Thoughtful of Patrol Juarez lay Just across the river with Villa's wireless station looming up in the rear. The guards told the mem bers from Company D that if they ventured too far out on the bridge a Mexican would take a shot at him, so not desiring to waken up or alarming the American patrol, the Harrisburg ers stayed along the shore. El Paso certainly is a very pretty city and all of Company D expect to get In to see it as soon as their turn comes, as there is only a certain num ber of passes issued daily. The Harrisburgers all are well and happy and are getting accustomed to the sand blowinß in their faces and feeing whirlwinds and sandy deserts. The water was a little scarce the first few days, but that is rapidly being overcome by laying pipe lines down the company streets, and in a few days we will all be taking shower baths. The water is very pure and since ice was issued Saturdav every man has gotten all he wanted. The News FYom 'Home Saturday evening the men received Tuesday evening's Telegraph and every man was fouod busily absorbed in reading the home news. Only those who are far away from home appre ciate a little news from the folks back home, and all the men look forward to JULY 22, 1916.

Send us back home o'er the land." This is a snatch of the song that the members of the Governor's Troop of Harrisburg. are singing to the tune of "Don't bite the hand that's feed ing you. ' Robert Fohl. Dick Cwer and J. Heath? 3raselman were the lights who ccmpos d the parody that has been sweepi* - < the whole regiment like fire. Tne men have not been fed any too well since leaving their homes in Pennsylvania. Within the last few days, however, the food has been better, as the as signments become larger and of great er variety. Still the song is appreciat ed by the sun-burned and tanned troopers in thts sandy plain more than a half mile in the air. As yet the men are drillng in the hot sun with no horses, and are com plaining about that. They claim they were enlisted for cavalrymen and not as infantry and Captain Jack ha? con siderable difficulty in keeping them In good spirits regarding the affair. The Harrisburgers are good soldiers, though, and take what comes to them without much murmur. Cook Weber is still the bug and pet man of the entire regiment. He has had more horned toads, prairie dogs, rattlesnakes, scorpions and other ani mal? in his possession than all the rest of the troop together. Yesterday he picked up a scorpion, put it on a stick and showed it to all his friends, until the animal be came so fidgety that Weber thought it best to kill it. To-day he picked up a tarantula —the largest one that has been found in the camp, and stuck it on a nail on a stick and show it to all in the camp thaT would look. Centipedes great long ones, a grip of whose feet means a great sore, if not death —are Weber's especial friends. He gathers them up on a stick and plays with them awhile be fore, dispatching them. In this he possesses more nerve than many of the other men. who crush th?m with their heel at the firs; opportunity. Paul G. Fink is one of the members ot Troop C, by which the Governor's Troop is now known, who has seen real service. Fink is the only man in the troop who wears the regulation lace leggings of former years, the kind that are so well liked by the cavalry. Fink is familiar with this country, having served with the 14th U. S. Cavalry at Eagle Pass, Tex#and other places in the Southwest. He is not a bit alarmed at getting into action in Mexico, but is doubtful that the troop will ever get nearer to the border than it is at the present time. "What I want to do." says Fink, "is to get this fighting over in time to go home to vote. I didn't enlist to come down here to train for I've had my training long before I ever enlisted in the National Guard. If I thought we wouldn't see any action, I never would have enlisted." Fink is much like the other men in the regiment, and unless the cavalry is given some real experience in border patrol or in action across the border, the government will nave difficulty in getting the men to enlist again. Edward Roth, former star athlete of Harrisburg High school. is the laundryman for the troop. Roth, who is a "rookie," is doing the laundry work for the troop, charging just half the prices charged by the El Paso laundries. He claims he is getting rich. The work, however. Keeps him busy. Because he is a "rookie" he has a lot of work to do that the older men in the troop are excused from and for that reason his time is pretty well taken up. To-day, however, while up to his elbows in the wash tub, the cry of "mail" went up. Roth dropped his washing and hurried to the mail box secured his letter and could not be moved until the missive had been read through three times. And then he went back to the washing. Members in the regiment may have their washing <done at the El Paso laundries, the wagons calling for the clothes twice a week. The First Sergeant, Charles Kline attends to the laundry for the men, as he does the mall. For a time last night, it looked as though the boys from Pennsylvania would be able to get some relief from this depressing dust. Late in the af ternoon the sky, that has been sunny during all the waking hours of the troopers, clouded up and from the clouds came a nice little sprinkle. There was a rush to get the tents ditched as a protection against rain, and then, when everything was ready, it refused to rain. The little shower that failed to more than lay the dust on the surface, cooled off the air con siderably, however, and made the long drill afoot to-day much more com fortable. The Texans claim that the rainy season, when it rains daily, is long over due. The men are hoping that the rain will begin shortly, as any thing—even a flood —they claim— would be better than this dust. _____ a H. B. mail time to see if there is some mail 'or paper for them. The guardsman may not have the time to send or answer all the mail back home, but he certainly does like to receive a word now and then from home, and a few lines go a long way toward cheering some man who might feel just a little bit homesick so far away from home.

July 14.—Company I of the Eighth In fantry is in camp at last. Our section of the Eighth Regiment t third section companies I, K, L, M and the band) left Mt. Gretna at 7 o'clock p. n»., July 9, and arrived here at 10 o'clock a. m., July 13. Our sec tion had seventeen cars and as we traveled a little over 2,200 miles, com ing by way of Pittsburgh. Columbus, Indianapolis, St. Louis. Kansas City, Topcka, Herrington, Liperal, Tucum cari to Fot Bliss, you can see we made good time. We arrived here in excellent phys ical condition and in excellent spirits, and plunged right into work anil be fore evening w ere under canvas ami had practically all the mesquite, sage and cactus cleared away and were ready for supper that was cooked for us by our own cooks. Tile Boost For Uncle Saiu The surprising part of the whole trip to most of us was the reception at stations along the route west of Pittsburgh. While there were crowds out at Highspire. Steelton, and other towns, they could not com pare with western towns. At first I was curious to know how the smaller towns were aware of our approach. I was told that most of them had town bells and when they rang them it meant that a troop train was ap proaching, and everyone started for the station. At Columbus, 0., the first place we left the train, one was impressed by a large banner stretched across the streets on which were these words: "Fathers and Mothers, the Xation Xeeds Your Sons; Will They Enlist?" We marched through the Capitol grounds there and the officers called on the Governor. At several places packages of food, cigars, cig arets. lemonade and postcards were distributed. At many towns girls were on hand and went along the train shaking hands and giving slips of paper to fellows on which was written their name and address and in some cases a. request for a card from them when they reached the border. Near El I'aso We are located nine miles west of El Paso, and our camp is on a broad, level plain with a ridge of mountains about six or seven miles south of us and another north, much farther away. I do not know how to de scribe the land to a northern person. Picture a stretch of perfectly level land stretching east and west as far as the eye can reach on which there is not a single tree, but on all this plain every three or four feet is a. mesquite bush, a sage plant or cactus, non" over three or four feet high. So far I have seen no other plant. The sun is exceedingly hot, but if you are under the canvas with your tent rolled up. it is cool, as there is a good wind blowing. At night It ia cool. The mountains present even a. greater contrast. They are in some eases 800 feet high and looking at them with the naked eye are peij^ fectly bare, but through a good glass you can distinguish cactus and sage brush. The sides are seamed, narrow at the bottom and wider and deeper at the top which makes them look like a series of pointed mountains. I am told that trails run up these seams and that the tops have rich table lands. If we are here any length of time I will make a trip to the top and will try and describe what I see. They say rattlers eight feet long and more abound on them. Welcome the Telegraph The boys will welcome the Tele graph when it arrives, as we have not had a paper since we left Indan apolis. Private Philip Bickley and Private Ned Wells are detailed as permanent orderlies to regimental and brigade headquarters, respectively. Musician Leiby has been detailed as regimental bugler. Private Troup has been ap pointed corporal to replace Corporal McCurdy who has been appointed ser geant. The coach dog presented to us by the Mount Vernon Hook and Lad der Company is with us and is a. friend of all the boys and knows our company from the others. The air here is so thin and pure that a num ber of the boys' noses have been bleeding. SERGT. C. W. THOMAS. How's This?
