WEDNESDAY EVENING,
from the honorable Postmaster Gen
eral through the offices of United
States Senators Martine, of New Jer
sey, Hughes, of New Jersey, O'Gorman,
of New York, and Lewis, of Illinois,
under date of August 19. 1916, to ths
effect that a modified schedule is be
ini! contemplated that will provide
more time for the clerks of the New
York and Pittsburgh railway post
office at Harrisburg (in an interview
on August 31, 1916, between Mr. Yeats
and Superintendent Stice it is learned
that a schedule on a five-crew basis,
two crews starting at New York, two
crews starting at Pittsburgh, with the
fifth starting at either end, is contem
plated). therefore be it
"Pesolved, That the New York and
Pittsburgh Association strongly pro
tests and are opposed to the proposed
schedule as outlined by the superin
tendent, J. L. Stice, in an interview
with President Yeats on August 31,
1916, on account of the hardship
placed on the men because of the in
creased deadheading required, adding
as it does from 390 to 500 miles to the
present mileage to each tour of duty;
be it further
"Resolved, That In view of the re
cent attitude of Honorable Woodrow
Wilson. President of the United States,
in urging and securing more liberal
conditions for railroad employes
through legislation, which officially in
dorses not only an eight-hour day, but
previous awards brought about through
arbitration setting a definite mileage
limitation of 155 miles per day, seven
days to the week, 365 days to the year,
on a basis of 20 miles per hour,
"Therefore the purpose of this reso
lution is to respectfully request and
urge the Post Office Department to
reconsider the establishment of a five
crew organization on the New York

six-crew organization so as to be con
sistent with the aforesaid attitude of
the President of the United States and
the conditions now obtaining with rail
road employes."

LIGHTY SPEAKS
FOR DAIRYMEN
Says That Milk Is Too Often
Blamed For Sickness and That
It Is Not Fair to Farmers
L. W. Lighty, one of the farm ad
visers of the State Department of
Agriculture, comes out in this week's
bulletin of the State Department of
Agriculture in behalf of the dairyman
and the milkman. The veteran far
mer says that people are too prone
to blame the milk for typhoid and
other diseases and declares that the
milk producer is not getting a square
deal. He voices his opinions in his
own homely way and says that prob
ably the butcher and the baker are to
blame for some things laid upon milk
and that too often the milk handler
is not supervised by those who get
after the owner of the cow.
"When several cases of sickness hap
pen in town or city the first suspect
is the milkman," says he. "The phy
sician is not slow to speak his doubts
and fears, and at once the reporter
gets busy and translates the suspic
ions into proved facts and the milk
is the cause of typhoid fever in the
minds of the readers of daily
paper.
"Thoughtless people often make
wild remarks by the slovenliness of
milk producers and that brings injury
which we can overcome, but when
our national authorities put forth an
indictment of unwholesomeness and
lack of cleanliness of the entire
creamery industry and the public
health service of the nation declares
that milk as ordinarily marketed is
unfit for human food, it is time we
dairymen "get busy.'
"If the charges are true we must
at once change our methods so as to
produce a wholesome article of food.
But first let us learn if they are true.
A man's ipse dixit does not make facts
regardless of the position the man oc
cupies. In the last score of years I
visited thousands of milk producers
and hundreds of creameries, cheese
and Ice cream factories, condenseries
and shipping stations and also quite a
few bakeries where the 'staff of life'
is prepared and handled, butcher
shops where our meats are handled,
green groceries and delicatessens
who handle most of our food stuffs.
I did find some uncleanly methods in
the farm dairy in a few instances.
Some creameries and factories were
not doing as well as they could have
done but nowhere did I find anvthins
to compare with the dirt and foul
odor in some bakeries and butcher
shops, and nowhere pollution to
compare to that of the distribution
centers where fruits and vegetables
were exposed to pollution by the
dogs and flies and handled by all man
ner of unclean hands of would be pur
chasers. It is high time dairymen de
mand justice at the hands of those
who should help and foster their in
dustry.
HOT SEPTEMBER DAY
Maximum of 86 Prediction of Weather
Bureau
Starting at 72 degrees at 8 o'clock
this morning the mercury went up
gradually until noon when 82 degrees
were recorded. The official maximum
was expected to be 86 degrees by 3
o'clock this afternoon.
To-day's excessive heat hit humanity
harder because of the high humidity.
It was 78 degrees at 9 o'clock, and
still on the rise. No records were
broken by to-day's hot wave. This is
the month when hot weather brings
strong humidity because of the mois
ture in the atmosphere.
The highest temperature reached
during September was 94.6 on Septem
ber 10, 1897, and the lowest 36.5 on
September 30, 1888. The first half of
September has shown a temperature
of from 80 to 90 degrees during tho
past ten years.
Cooler weather is not in sight. |
Showers were forcasted for this after- 1
noon and to-ntght with a continuation j
of warmer weather to-morrow ana
probably until the close of the week. I

r ty authorities to

taxes tor 1917 and by Monday the
various assessors will get their assess
ment books which will contain a
specially ruled space for the dog tax
collection returns. For Dauphin
county is going to collect neja year's
dog taxes by the joint authority of
the new and old acts. State and
county authorities agree that the new
act contains many provisions that are
open to attack on constitutional
grounds, so only those sections of the
new law which are inconsistent with
the old measure will be carried out.
One dollar for female and fifty cents
per year for male dogs is the tax rate.
Incidentally pups under four months
of age will not be taxable. The new
law fixes eight months as the age
limit but this is one inconsistency that
will not be considered. Incidentally
the county will collect the taxes in
boroughs too, and disregard the provi
sions for borough collections as fixed
by the new dog law. Dog taxes are
payable between now and the time
the assessors turn in their books
early in December.
Failure on the part of the assessor
to collect the dog tax entails a pen
alty of $2; a similar fine is chargeable
against a constable who refuses to
shoot a dog that is unlicensed. Inci
dentally every constable is allowed $1
for every dog he shoots.

GRAPE VINES HARD
HIT BY INSECTS
State Department of Agricul
ture Calls Attention to Dam
age Done by Them
According to experts at the Stata
Department of Agriculture there are
now throughout the State many grape
vines the leaves of which are turning
brown. This is caused by a very
small whitish flying insect called the
grape leaf hopper, which lives by
sucking the sap from the leaves. Ax
the cell from which the sap is suckea
dries out, and also the cells around
it. and as the insect feeds several
times a day and never in the same
place, it is not long before there are
numerous dead spots upon the leaves.
When abundant the leaves dry In mid
summer, and the fruit does not ripen
properly. It lacks the proper amount
of sugar, and it is not good for table
use, nor for grape juice, nor wine.
The adult, which are only about one
eighth of an inch long, hibernates in
trash in grass and about the vineyard.
With the approach of the growing sea
son It moves to the foliage or raspber
ries, and then to the lower leaves of
the grape from which place the bal
ance of the vines is infested. The eggs
are laid, and from these young
nymphs come, which must pass
through five stages before they be
come adults with wings. These little
nymphs are a yellowish white, and
can be seen during the early summer
working around on the undersides of
grape leaves.
The Department of Agriculture rec
ommends as the time to control these
leaf hoppers when th® greatest num
ber of nymphs are present, and before
many of them begin to get wings, and
when they can fly they are harder to
reach with spray materials. The best
time to spray here in Pennsylvania is
in summer.
WANTS OLD CLOTHES
Captain M. Neilsen, of the Salvation
Army, has again appealed to the
citizens of Harrisburg to donate all
their cast off clothing to the Army for
the use of the poor people of the city.
Any person having these articles can
