HOLMES SEED CO. •; M'/ '.ftiy _ ls!sv Exclusive agents Dauphin, Perry, •VSJ 7 M M itnl Cumberland and York Counties W,AM Note—Send for our free Booklet WEDNESDAY EVENING, Highway Department in 1916 is spend | ing $3,000,000. The commissioners of | Pennsylvania's sixty-seven counties are spending $2,500,000 for roads in 1916. In one year, according to these figures, the different road maintaining units spent $11,500,000. In four years they spent almost the same sum of money for which it was proposed several years ago to bond Pennsylvania for road purposes. Of the State Highway De partment's $3,000,000 for 1916 only $400,000 could be put into new perma nent construction, so great were the demands on the appropriation because the department must maintain 10,200 miles of highway saddled upon it by t'-i Legislatures of 1911 and 1913. In ten years at the present, rate, ac cording to figures given the postmas ters, Pennsylvania will spend on mere "maintenance" a sum of money suffi cient to build 6,763 miles of 16-foot concrete road at $17,000 a mile, or 5,- 750 miles of 16-foot brick highway at $20,000 a mile. These figures do not include the $25,000,000 spent in the same period by the county commis sioners, nor the several millions spent by the boroughs of Pennsylvania. The statement was made by the William Penn secretary that some of Penn sylvania's worst roads are within the limits of boroughs. Of 1,004 miles of main highway within the boroughs 378 miles are absolutely unimproved, 607 are hard surfaced, and the balance are of shale, cinder or gravel.

Givler of Tyrone, secre tary of the Society of the McAlis tervillc Soldiers' Orphan School, is sending out the announcement of the ninth annual reunion of the students of the McAlisterville school, which will be held in this clt£, August 23, 24 and 25. The students of this famous school, which accomplished a remark able work for soldiers' orphans in the quarter century from 1864 to 1889, are intensely loyal to the institution, and they gather in large numbers each year. Francis A. Fry of Newport is president of the graduate association. On the same dates in this city stu dents of the soldiers' orphan schools of the State will gather in the second annual reunion of the Pennsylvania Sixteeners. The morning of the first day will be devoted to registration and renewing acquaintanceships. In the afternoon the McAlisterville stu dents will hold their business meeting in a local hall, and the White Hall students will have a meeting and en tertainment at Camp Hill. In the eve ning there will be a general get-to gether meeting. The second day will be given to the business sessions of the Sixteeners' convention. In the evening there will be a banquet given under the auspices of the Central Pennsylvania Six teeners. On the third day the Curtin me morial. in honor of the Pennsylvania's war governor, will be decorated by the orphan-students to "Our fathers and mothers." Much interest is at tached to this ceremony.

J ISSUE WHITE BOOK ONBARALONGCASE Germans Say They Will Use Zeppelins in Reprisal For Deaths Berlin, Aug. 16. The government has transmitted to the Reichstag a White Book in regard to the case of the British patrolboat Baralong, members of whose crew are reported to have killed Germans from a sub marine sunk by the British a year ago. The White Book contains official Ger man and British documents. The final report, {..-cording to a statement given out to-day by the Overseas News Agency says: "The German government, replying to the declarations of the British government in regard to the German memorandum of January 10. 1916, on the Baralong case (in which Germany rejected the British proposals to sub mit the case to a neutral board) said it had decided on account of the British government's attitude, that it was impossible to continue negotia tions. At the same time the govern ment then announced it would take reprisals of a nature corresponding with the provocation, adding: " "Of course the government has declined to respond to the crimes com mitted by the British seamen by car rying out similar reprisals; for in stance, the shooting of British prison ers of war. But German airships will convince the English people that Ger many has the means of preventing from going unatoned the cruelties of the officers and crew of the Bara long.' " The German reply points out that formerly particular consideration was given, in employing Zeppelins for mil itary purposes, to the civilian popula tion, although there was unavoidable danger to civilians, but said that in view of the Baralong incident a differ ent attitude would be adopted. The government's purpose is quoted as fol lows, by this news agency: "Airships will be used against Eng lish within the limits of the law of nations, without any other regard. Every airship which throws destruc tive bombs on London or other de fended towns or on towns which con tain establishments of a military char acter shall cause England to remem ber the Baralong case.'* SECOND GREENLAND FOUND IN FAR NORTH [Continued From First Page] was under the command of Captain Sweeney, who joined the expedition while it was in Arctic waters. The en tire party was in good physical condi tion and expressed themselves as hav ing enjoyed their long experience in the Arctic, despite the many hardships encountered in a land so remote from civilization. In lycast Known Section of Earth Most of the time since the Spring of 1914 the party has been in quarters at Bernard Harbor, east of the Mac kenzie river, one of the least known sections of the habitable earth. The last of the party to see Stef ansson was the photographer, Wilkins, who was one of those who departed from the ill-fated Karluk shortly be fore It was caught in the grip of the northern ice in the Fall of 1914 and later crushed near Herald Islands. Wilkins was with Stefansaon last win ter, having rejoined him last year. After spending some time with the Stefansson party, Wilkins made the trip over the ice to Coronation Gulf and joined the Anderson party. Most of the scientific work of the expedition has been carried by this branch party. The first winter after leaving Nome, the party spent at Maning Point, near Camden Bay, after having failed to find passage through the heavy ice to the eastward. The following Spring Dr. Anderson pro ceeded to the east and reached Cor onation Gulf during the summer of 1914 Quarters which were estab lished in Bernard Harbor became the base for the expedition's work. The summer and winter of 1915 were spent in scientific labors around Coronation I Harbor. The party left Coronation Gulf for Bering Sea in July of this I year and the southward passage was attended by no difficulties. Although traveling in the track of the power schooners Teddy Bear and Challenge. Dr. Anderson saw nothing of these vessels. A Second Greenland Mr. Wilkins learned from Stefansson that the new land which the explorer discovered may be described as a sec ond Greenland. Up to the time that Stefansson left the new land, after his memorable trip across the Frozen Sea with Storker S. Storkerson and Ole Anderson, the explorer traced about two hundred miles of its shore line, and found high mountains upon it. Mr. Wilkins says that it was Stef ansson's intention to return to the new land last Spring to continue the work of exploration. The Alaska brings about thirty tons of specimens gathered during the years spent in the north, in addition to a mass of data of great value from a scientific viewpoint. They have been unloaded and will later be ship ped to Ottawa, where the final results of the expedition will be completed. Most of the Alaska party will proceed to the States, but Dr. Anderson may return north to continue his investi gations. USING UP VITALITY The struggle for success uses up vitality in America at a greater rate than any other thing. Fighting to keep away from the poor-house we shorten the distance to the grave. Especially in middle age, at forty or thereabouts, do we become impressed ■with the necessity of laying up a com petence and with that feeling in time comes worry, nervous breakdown, neu rasthenia. The entire system feels the result of the nervous st rain. The diges tion resents things that it accepted m fore, the heart palpitates on slight ex ertion, the muscles of the back ache after a day's worlc. Your blood is thinner and not so bright a red. When these things occur, whether you are fourteen or forty, you need a tonic. Dr. Williams' Pink Pills suit most people's need because they are non-alcoholic and they really build up the blood and strengthen tne nerves. They are useful for growing children and for men and women whose nervous energy has been overtaxed.
