HEAR ALL ABOUT RIVER CARNIVAL Jovian League Invites Presi dent of Greater Navy to Lunch and Talk The Jovian League of Harristmrs. the big organization of llvewire elec- i trical engineers and others interested professionally in electrical develop- i ment are anxious to learn all about the proposed Labor Day resatta to be held under the direction of the recently organized "Greater Harrisburg Navy." land to this end the league has invited E. J. Stackpole. president of the Navy, to attend to-morrow's weekly lunch eon to speak on the subject. The luncheon will be held at the Columbus Hotel at the "Jovian" table, a table set aside especially for the electrical man. Traction, telephone, telegraph, elec tric light and other branches of the electrical world will be represented. That the Jovians are keenly inter ested in the proposed Labor Day car nival is indicated by the suggestions that are being made from time to time to the carnival committees. P. H. Bailey, commercial manager of the Harrisburg Light and Power Com pany. yesterday offered this idea: "Why not have your committee on decorations. 1 suppose there will be such a committee, interview the firms which have storage batteries on hand, with a view to obtaining a reasonable rental rate for the use of storage bat teries for the canoeists, motorboatmen and others who may want to at tempt private lighting effects? The cost of renting these batteries should be comparatively small and the light ing effect that would result would add immensely to the generally attractive effect of the river the night of the decorated boat parade." That the movement to give Harris burg the biggest water demonstration of it shistory. is taking thorough hold on all public-spirited folks who are primarily interested in the develop ment of the river basin, is indicated by the action of "Mayor" Harry J. Berrier. of Hardscrabble. one of the big boat pavilion proprietors, and a vice-president of the "Navy." Not only has he announced that he 11 serve luncheon to the girls who em bark from his boat landing in the pa rade but he has offered these prizes f«v participants who start from hl» pavilion to join the procession: Most gorgeously decorated canoe propelled by a sirl. S5: similar decorative boat propelled by a man. 52.50: for next best three, pair of paddles, large back rest and two narrow back rests. This Backyard Garden Feeds 12 Families Atlanta. Ga.. July 2*5.
