lvJ£L9Ssjse? State Grange to find
I JIrWIVWM 1 way to Insure
isgilwuljHl farmers and their

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

FLOATS ATTRACT

League gets its illumination plans In
working order.
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.
The evening boat parade is due to
start from Independence Island at 7.30
o'clock and participants have been ad
vised to report by not later than 7. A
float carrying a hand will head the
profession. The column will move up
stream as far as possible and then
down again to the Market street
bridge. Redfire will be distributed
this afternoon to all the participants
and lanterns and brackets can be had
upon application at any of the boat
houses.
FREE MOVIES OX RIVER
An interesting feature of to-night's
river program will be an exhibition by
the Capital City Moving Picture com
pany. In addition to five reels of
late pictures, there will be a series
of stereopticon views, showing the
city's park development of the last
fifteen years. This exhibitioin will
start at 7.15 and will be in full view
of the people along the shore and
river wall.
BALL GAME OX ISLAXD
The annual baseball game between
the clerks and carriers of the Harris
burg Post Office was played this aft
ernoon at Island Park. To-night at
Hotel Bolton the annual banquet will
be held.

, great river basin. But for those who 1
! missed it perhaps a word or two may I
help. |
The Races
1 Promptly at 1:S0 o'clock the bang
of a pistol sent scores of small youths
| —boys under sixteen—splashing head-
I long from their float near the Walnut
street bridge in the hundred-yard
swim.
i Small drlppingly eager bodies had
hardly climbed out after the finish
I line at Market street had been crossed
I when some o»the prettiest contestants
Of the day lined up for the ladles'
<luarter-mlle canoe race. And then
the cheers that followed that event
were still startling the shades of the
j duskier maids and warriors of the
l Cumberland hills of long ago when
jthe other events were run off in order. I
Fifteen minute intervals were allowed f
by the committee for each event on
j the program and V. Grant Forrer, as
sistant park superintendent, secretary
|of the Navy, referee and clerk-or
course, adhered to that program until
the last shot was flred at 5 o'clock to
1 send tho "war canoes" on their way.
Of course there were other races—
a half-mile canoe race In which the
husky athlete In sleeve-jersey and the;
pretty companion of luany a moon- ;
light spin, paddled their own canoe
I for a prlie; the 100-yard swim for
I youths over 16, a half-mile canoe race I
for men only: a hundred-yard swim I
for girls—which by the way kept one I
figuratively and literally on his tip
toes—a half mile doubles event for
! male canoeists; a quarter-mile swim,
i and a canoe race for men's singles.
And if t"he races didn't provide
enough thrills, the "specialties" surely
did.
Girls Aqua-Plane
The big event—lf one coudl pick
out any in particular—was the girls'
aqua-planing stunt. Harrlsburg had
I never witnessed anything quite like it
i before, but—take it from the throngs
I that cheered the swaying girls—Har-
I risburg will surely see it again and
again. It'll be a permanent feature of
! future Kiponas.
Perhaps the fact that two pretty
! high school athletes came down from
Wllliamsport to show how It Is done —
by girls—had something to do with
the popularity of the event. They
were Misses Jane Agnes Krouse,
daughter of President Charles C.
Krouse, of the Wllliamsport Board of
Trade, and Miss Reba Whiteman. The
girls are chums at school and they
, made a wonderful hit at aqua-planing
1 during Wllllamsport's recent carnival.
President Krouse and his party got
in here shortly before noon and
Secretary C. L. McColgtn of the
| Chamber of Commerce welcomed the
.visitors. After lunch they were taken
1 directly to the bathing-float on the
: course.
i Aqua-planing?
Easy, so 'tis said, if you know how
ito do it. From the float or the bank
;it looks something like this: For some
I distance behind a swift racing motor
j boat, a board is left to trail behind in i
!the wake of the powercraft. And on)
this precarious footing, dainty Misses
Krouse and Whiteman gracefully rode.
"Man-Flshin*''
Then, too, there were mere men
I aqua-planing events, and a man-Ash
ing contest, and a three-man standing
double paddle event, and an obstacle
! canoe race and a tilting content. The
man-flshing event was new too; so was
;the obstacle race. From oft a flat a
husky "fisherman" in a bathing-suit—
I sort of a safety first precautionary
measure—actually "flshed" for a hu
man "fish"—a husky athletic young
swimmer who added the brains of a
regular man to the fln-swlnging ability
( of a regular fish. B. Frank Nead had
I expected to do the fishing with Rich
ard Rauck but the former had to call
| off his end of the job because of
serious attacks of ivy-poisoning,
a substitute had to take his place. A.
R. Mlchener volunteered.
The titltlng contest added as much
! fun as the umbrella and the tub races
—somehow the folks who Just looked
on got a heap of fun out of just watch
ing one "tllter" trying out another
jousting stunt from canoes. The ob
| stable canoe race was an amusing af
i fair for the spectators but mighty
wearying for the contestants. One
had to paddle, over-turn his canoe,
right it, slide over a telegraph pole
I and do some other heart-breaking
; things before he finished. The three
standing double paddle event was an
other Interesting stunt —and Richard
Rauck, Clarence Beck and Frank Roth
gave a real exhibition of balancing
and paddling simultaneously.
War Canoe Racv
And finally there was the great
"war" canoe race.
Central. Technical and Steelton
highs and the Harrisburg Academy
fought out the question of who's who
as the Navy cup winner.
Eleven husky athletes of the four j
schools who had been giving glimpses
of their abilities in this direction In
practice spins during the last few days
got down to it in real earnest under
I a late afternoon sun, sweated heart
breakingly down the course that was
lined with cheering thousands.
New London, Poughkeepsie, Lake
Cayuga, Princeton., the Schuylkill
they've got little on Harrlsbug now,
I bet you, was the general comment
I after that splendid four-boat chase
that wound up the biggest river spec
tacle Harrisburg has ever known.
