To Maintain Standard
Captain Henry M. 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. Press
ed for a reason ho admitted he
wanted to join the artillery because
the fellows "had it soft, didn't need
to walk, but could always ride when
the troops moved." 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. It.
is believed the strains of martial
music have induced many young
men of the city to enlist. To-mor
row evening the following program
will be given by the Eighth Kegi -
ment Infantry Band:
March, "The World's Progress,"
Victor Herbert
Overture, "Poet and Peasant,"

Thinning Out the Plants
As it has been found that there is
a tendency on the part of persons
unfamiliar with garden work to plant
too sparingly of seeds, we always ad
vise them to plant thickly, to be
thinned out after being assured of
a good stand.
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. If the weather

May Go In Reserves
It Is probable that Captain Harlan
S. Ambrose, who has resigned as
captain of Company C, of Chambers
burg, will bo placed on the reserve
list. It had been reported that he
would be placed on Colonel Finney's
staff but at the present time no va
cancies exist. Colonel Finney this

tain Ambrose, but nothing definite
has been done concerning his as

French Troops Enter
Athens For Second Time
By Associated Press
London. June 26.—A dispatch to
the Times from Athens says French
troops yesterday entered Athens and
occupied several points in the city.
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. The
demonstration was organized by a
number of reservists and tailors, "un
der the leadership of followers of
Demetrics Gounaris, former Greek
1 premier, one of the pro-German
group around King Constantino. He
was deported after the abdication of
Constantine.
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.

mailed a window card, bearing the

make will be to subsist on at least
one wheatloss meal a day; to save
one loaf of bread a week; to discon
tinue the use of butter in cooking;
to save at least two cents on every

Mantle of Green Will
Cover Stone Sheeting
Placed Along Riyer Front
With the work of rlprapplng the
river embankment practically finish
ed from Maclay street to Pefter,
where a section was permanently Im
proved last summer, the hundreds of
people who promenade along the
upper and lower walks every even
ing; are now able to appreciate the
admirable character of this protec
tive undertaking. A slight engineer
ing mistake at Maclay street result
ed In too much excavation of Ae
slope at that point, but it will be
easily remedied.
As soon as the riprapping shall
have been covered with earth the
Department of Parks will imme
diately proceed with the planting of
vines and shrubbery so that a man
tle of green will cover the stone
sheeting in a few weeks.
