Stine, in charge of the recruiting for Company C, re ports the class of men who have applied for enlistment to have been unusually high and at the present time he has many applications. It is the intention of the officers to ac cept only the best of the applicants, that the high standard of the Harris burg companies may be maintained. An applicant last evening was anx ious to enlist in the artillery.

He was told that Company C was not looking for men who were hunting soft snaps. Hand to Play The public concerts have proved to be a great aid to recruiting.

By a "good stand" u meant that after making allowance for some de ficient seeds, accidents to others, in juries by insects, and other causes there will be plants enough left when thinned out to allow the ones remaining to stand the required dis tance apart. It Is a tragedy to sow seeds too sparingly in your garden, after all the work of preparation, and find that when you come to thin them out there are not enough to pay you for your trouble. The cost of the best seed is so moderate that it does not pay to be stingy with it when planting in the drills. Thinning out is not so necessary with the crops which are planted with large seeds, or tubers, If you are absolutely sure of your seed, but this is rarely the case, on which ac count we advise thick planting of even such crops as beans, peas and ccrn, to be later thinned out. Such seedlings as lettuce, radishes .and onions should be thinned out the first time as soon as the plants are large enough to handle, and It is best done as soon'after a rain as the ground can be worked. The first thinning is done just far enough apart to give the young seedlings room for further development, the aim being that they should not, after this time, be allowed to touch each other on either side. This will give theip the required light and air, and keep them as stocky as desired. Beans, peas, carrots, beets, par snips, tomato and cabbage plants for transplanting from' the seed-bed, and peppers, being not planted so thickly as those named above, should not be thijined out until they crowd or touch, when they are ready for the first thinning.

Ambrose, who has resigned as captain of Company C, of Chambers burg, will bo placed on the reserve list.

Colonel Finney this morning spoke very highly of Cap tain Ambrose, but nothing definite has been done concerning his as signment. French Troops Enter Athens For Second Time By Associated Press London.

This is the secqnd time since the war began that troops have been sent to Athen3. A Reuter dispatch from Athens says there was a demonstration in the city on Sunday night and that the allied troops entered the city to assist in malntainence of order.

Hotel Death Mystery Cleared by Relatives By Associated Press Philadelphia, June 26.—The mystery surrounding the death of a man and woman in a hotel in this city on Sun day last was cleared to-day when John J. Alexander came here from Pittsburgh and identified the (lead man as Lieutenant Ferdinand Alex ander, 24 years old, his brother, who, he said, held commission In tlie navy. Mr. Alexander took charge or the body and that of Louise Jones, of New York, to whom Lieutenant Alex ander was to have been married and who shot herself shortly after Alex ander had died, presumably from nat ural causes. Former Franklin Treasurer and War Veteran Dies Chambersburg, Pa., June 26. George W. Britsch, former burgess of Chambersburg, and former treas urer of Franklin county, who lived retired for some years past, died at 5 o'clock this morning, after two days' illness with indigestion, aged 68. He was born In Harrlsburg and there enlisted in the Union Armv as a boy, serving through the Rebellion. He then came here and was a baker for years. He was a noted athlete and very popular. William P. Britsch, Federal revenue service, Philadelphia, is one of two sons sur -1 vtvin* with his widow. l-s not right, do this when you think it is the proper time; do not wait for a rain if you have a hose at hand, but soak the drills, and in half a day they should be in a con dition to be thinned. Let- the lettuce, radishes and onions grown from seed be thinned out so as not to touch, when the first thinning is done, unless you nre growing the lettuce for cutting, in case it is better to allow It to grow In a tight jnass until it gets large enough that the plants thinned out can be used for salad. But lettuce intended for making head lettuce, when transplanted to permanent positions, should not be allowed to get crowded at any time, as this gives better results. Radishes can be allowed to grow so closely that they almost touch, if alternate ones are then thinned out and used. To accomplish this, with the first early ones, as soon as the plants can be handled thin out to an Inch apart. By the time these touch thin out every alternate one, which will be all the thinning required. The little onions can be best plck- I ed out with an old table fork, as pull ing them by hand when so very tiny causes many of them to break off and the tuber remains in the soil. The fork is merely used to slightly loosen the tuber or bulb so that it will come up easily. Corn and beans, which may be planted in hills, are sown sufficient ly thick that there wilf be enough to make a selection of the most vig orous, three to four plants to a hill, when they have attained their fourth leaf. If you ape fond of beet-greens, the young seedlings can be thinned out to an inch apart, and when these get crowded, thin out to four Inches apart and use those thinned out for greens, tops and all. Another thinning out of the beets should be made, using those removed for sauce, to allow expansion for those to rerAain for large winter ones. Turnips cap be treated the same | way If you use turnip-tops for I greens, as many persons do. Doctor in Reserve Seized as Slayer F iH L -^^r J \ WHm / AMY*DB WT* J COKCON BEWvr - J OHM v JUDEJ?
