TRAMPS MUST WORK OR STARVE Franklin County Authorities to Make Producers Out of Loafers | Waynesboro, Pa., May 4.->—The tramp must go. The Directors of the Poor and other authorities of Frank lin county have begun a campaign to help conserve the food resources of the country. The movement was in augurated by the directors at their meeting at Chambersburg. They de cided, first of all, that no tramps are to be fed or lodged at the almshouse unless these accommodations are paid for by work in a stone quarry to be opened on the county farm. Every tramp must earn his meal and bed at the county home. They decided also to ask each magistrate In the county to sentence a vagrant to one year in jail instead of thirty days as now. They deter mined further, to request the police authorities in each community to re fuse to keep tramps in the lockups over night and compel hoboes to move on. The people of the county arc to be called upon to refuse food to any tramp unless 'he tramp pays for it by work about the premises of the giver. Their idea is to rid the county of tramps, which have been overrunning it for several vears, and make them producers. Sheriff Enos Horst met with the board and agreed to help carry out these measures.
