STATE WILL HELP RURAL INSURANCE Grangers' Efforts to Form a Company Will 3e Assisted by the Commonwealth *Probably one of V \ \ ® //J ' ,c mo, t interesting \\W >ituation» noted on 'XvAA sTi< -apitol Hill in many > i day has grown out V 3t th * of t,le jjjCfigUJllJM :ommittees of the lvJ£L9Ssjse? State Grange to find I JIrWIVWM 1 way to Insure isgilwuljHl farmers and their employes from acci-| lent* and th< dam following suits of various kinds. The State Insurance f Department has agreed to extend its aid in incorporation of a company with as broad powers as possible, while the , State insurance fund officials are en- ; deavoring to see whether the Com monwealth can not do a little Insuring on its own account outside of the gen erally accepted lines of compensation Insurance. The compensation law exempts agri cultural and domestic labor from op eration of the compensation system and there is some sentiment expressed among the farmers for repeal of the exemption as far as farm labor goes, but it is not general and the act will probably stand until attacked in the courts. The contention of the Grang- ! ers is that farmers are liable to dam age suits for injuries to employes un- ' der the old common law and have no means of providing against adverse verdicts. Instances have been known where damages have virtually wiped out a man's holdings and taken a whole year's income from crops. The plan is to create mutual accident or liability insurance companies on the same gen- | eral plan as those formed for Are or livestock insurance in rural communi ties. If it can be done the Insurance would be on the same basis as com pensation insurance as regards em ployes and also insurance farmers from accidents to themselves. Ofllcers Reappointed.—Commissions have been Issued to about seventeen of the special policemen of the Beth lehem Steel Company for service at the 1 Stee'.ton plant.

For instance promptly at 7.30 o'clock there'll be a— But suppose you get a good vantage point along the river front near the Walnut street bridge and you'll see for yourself. The details of the night lighting of the Susquehanna for the first Klpona are under lock and figuratively speaking, and the door Just can't be opened until after the sun goes down. As to the Floats But a word or two as to the floats, when a miniature white hattlefleet steamed slowly back and forth and then came to anchor just below South street, "oh-ing" and "ah-ing" thou sands saw that it was thus that Bow man and Company and seen fit to show that it's firm has a place in the sun. The Dives. Pomeroy & Stewart floats suggested the Pantheon of old and D. Kaufman's store's a suggestion of Old Japan, especially when the ravs of the rising sun were flashed into light with ! electricity. The William Strouse store flashed its message from the broad sail of a "single-master": the Globe caused an other big and admiring surprise, the Telegraph called attention to the fact that Harrisburg is the "heart of dis tribution" on a giant keystone, a re- ! plica of the Navy insignia. Then. too. there was the Bell telephone. A giant Bell partially concealed behind its bower of potted plants was the central feature of the decorations of that com panying—until after the giant balloon was released from the float. Bands To-night Of course the Rotary Club turned out in force and the club displays were both stationary and moving. To-night a band will play on one of the deco rated Rotary floats and the members will entertain their families and friends. Just what the display Is to be. however, is another river secret — that will be exposed to-night. The Harrisburg Light and Power Company, the Star-Independent with Its racing motorboat that dragged the aqua planers, "Mayor" Harry J. Ber riar's gaily decorated float that carried the scores of county and city office girl clerks and stenographers, several prettily decorated floats that carried college girls and their friends, the Harrisburg Amusement Company— these, with the Jovian League display, formed the remainder of that portion of the exhibit. To niuminate Basin At 7.30 o'clock to-night the elec trical illumination of the basin will betrin and for another while the city wgll have a chance to gasp its delight; following that will be the fireworks display arranged by the Chamber of \ Commerce. Felix M. Davis, who had charge of this detail, pleasantly sur prised the thousands along the river front to-day by a SDecial display of "day fireworks." That accounts for the sudden appearance of floating cows and chickens and pigs and things high above the waters all afternoon. The Fireworks From 8.30 o'clock until 9.30 the fire works will be on and following this will be further electrical illumination of thn basin. In the meantime bands will play at Market street and opposite Pine street, while the Aeolian orchestra will ren der a program from the Judges' float opposite Locust street.
