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

bark from his boat landing in the pa
rade but he has offered these prizes

This Backyard Garden
Feeds 12 Families
Atlanta. Ga.. July 2*5. There's no
use for a man to pay a grocery bill
every month if he'll just pay a little
earnest attention to his backyard, ac
cording to Dr. Thoinas D. Love, who
h.»s converted his yard into a garden.
hich produces enough to feed twelve
families.
"With lots of houses there come
backyards." explained the physician,
"and I can't understand why every
man doesn't make use of his yard. A
little garden properly cared for will
feed his family, ar.d will sometimes
net r.:m enough to make a payment
on h:s house rent With the excep
tion of lard and suga: and a few other
retest-aries I never buy anything at
tl.e grocery stores."
Trainer Fled to Lion's
Den to Escape Wife
Chicago. July 18. B. B. Dennis
and his wife. Adelaide, are circus folk.
He is a lion tamer and she a bare
back rider. They separated. Their
circus came to Evanston for a one
night stand. Mrs Dennis appeared
and demanded to know why she had
not been receiving the $5 a week
which Dennis had promised to send
her. Dennis retreated into his cage
of snarling lions. His wife got tired
of waiting and went to the Evanston
police station. Detective
Arthur Johnston was assigned. John
ston warily entered the cage. The
lions snarled, but Johnston showed
them his badg? and they slunk shame
fully back. The detective then took
the tamer of lions to a cage of his
own at the station.
"I could get along better with the
lions than I could with my wife." was
Dennis's sole comment.

valuables gone, ana his wife and
daughter missing. Later the pair were
traced to the Pennsylvania Railroad

alienating his wife's affections. Sheri
iff Vanzandt left for the Windy City,
where he expects to apprehend and
return with the pair.
