Closes on Saturday When
Prizes Will Be Awarded
The fly-swatting contest which the
boys and girls of the city have been
waging during the early months of
the summer will close on Saturday
morning, when the flies that have
been caught and killed, and those
that have been swatted, will be
brought to the Patriot buildins, 11
North Market Square, to be meas
ured.
Each boy and girl will be paid five
cents a pint for all dead flies
brought there. Prizes will be award
ed to the youngsters bringing the
largest quantity of flies. This work
which has been done annually for
several years, is conducted under
the direction of the municipal de
partment of the Civic Club. Miss
Rachel Pollock is chairman and Mrs.

The measuring on Saturday, and
awarding of prizes, will be in charge
of Mrs. Mabel Cronise Jones, Mrs.
James Barr Marsereau and Miss
Josephine Hanlen of the Civic Club.
While the members believe the mul
titude of flies is being reduced as a
result of the contests, it is expected
that many pints of the dead pests
will be brought In on Saturday.

Lulu Parr, Cowgirl With Willard-Buffalo Bill Show
A Wild West show, offering as one
of its star riding features a famous
bareback equestrienne, would seem to
be violating tradition, but this is what
is promised for the Jess Willard-
Buffalo Bill Wild West and circus,
which exhibits in Harrisburg, Thurs

Emily Stickney, the principal bare
back equestrienne with the big show,
comes from a family famous as riders
and all-round circus performers for
many generations. There has not been
a time daring the past seventy.-iive
years when some clever representa
tive of the Stickney family and name
has not been before the American
public in the role ,of arenic star. The
name Stickney belongs to the best
traditions of the American circus.
Lulu Parr, another chic and attrac
tive young woman, is the antithesis
of Miss Stickney as a rider. There is

American hoboes, with a brilliant line
of comedy, conversation and parodies;

"HEART'S DESIRE"
WHY GUARD WILL
TRAIN IN SOUTH
Sec. Baker Explains Double
Expense Avoided by
This Plan
Washington, July 23.—1n a letter
to Senator Weeks, of Massachusetts,
Secretary Baker gave the War De
partment's reasons for choosing the
South as the training ground for the
National Guard. The letter was In
response to an inquiry from Sena
tor Weeks.
Mr. Baker pointed out that the
inability to get sufficient tonnage
for the transport of trbops abroad
before winter sets in made it neces
sary to send the National Guard to
a climate where the men might have
out-of-door training in the early
winter months. Before the winter
ends, he said, he expected that all
the National Guard will be on the
way to France. The letter follows:
"It is intended to send the Na
tional Guard, or such units thereof
as are propertly equipped and train
ed, to join the American expedition
ary force in France before the ad
ditional forces authorized by the se
lective draft act, now called the na
tional army, can be sent. When the
plans for mobilizing those two forces
were drawn, it was not known how
soon the national army could be as
sembled under the draft. The Na
tional Guard having already in its
possession some equipment, and
having, after several months' serv
ice on the border, received a certain
measure of training, it was believed
that the force could be more
promptly dispatched to France than
the national army, which, at the
time the plans were approvad, had
not been authorized by Congress.
Plans Dependent on Transportation
"Plans for the dispatch of our
forces to France depend not only
upon their training and equipment,
but also upon the availability of suf
ficient tonnage for transportation.
Had it been possible to procure, be
fore winter, transportation to
France for the National Guard of all
States in the North, it is quite pos
sible that my advisers would have
recommended that the National
Guard be placed in cantonments in
the North. Had such a plan been
proposed and given effect and ton
page been sufficient, the approach of
winter would have found the Na
tional Guard in the climate where
out-of-door training would have
been impracticable. It woflld then
have been necessary, after consid
erable expenditure for the construc
tion of cantonments, to transport
them to the South, build new can
tonments and possibly return them
to a northern harbor for embarka
tion; hence It was decided to con
struct cantonment shelter for the
National Guard in the South.
"After sites had been selected for
many of the divisions of the Na
tional Guard and the national army,
it was reported by the officer in
charge of cantonment construction
that due to the price of material
the sum of money appropriated for
cantonment construction would be
sufficient for only about half the
number (thirty-two) cantonments
planned. It was also reported that
the construction of half the number
of cantonments could be completed
by September 1, 1917, but not by
July, the month .in which it had
been planned to call the National
Guard into military service. This
month was selected because, due to
the lack of clothing and other equip
ment, it was believed impracticable
to complete the equipment of the
regular army with all its increment
before July, and it was not desirable
to call the National Guard before it
was possible to supply the necessary
equipment.
Guard to Go Under Canvas
"Because of the impracticability
of constructing thirty-two canton
ments with the funds appropriated,
it was decided as the National Guard
had then in its possession a certain
amount of tentage, and the War De
partment could reasonably hope to
supply the necessary complement by
the end of July, to place the Na
tional Guard canvas, in order
that their training might not be
longer delayed and to confine the
cantonment construction to the
sites selected in various divisional
areas for the national army.
"You correctly assume that it had
been hoped to send the National
Guard to France within a reasonable
time, but it is manifestly imprac
ticable, with the limited tonnage
available, to transport all the Na
tional Guard of the Northern States
to Fiance before cold weather, even
if the dispatch of a division of the
regular army be postponed for that
purpose. If the National Guard of
the New England division should be
camped in New England consider
able expenditure would be neces
sary at the site selected. On the
approach of cold weather it would
be necessary to transport them to
the South and to spend an equal
amount on the construction of a
camp there. In the sites which have
been selected, training of the Na
tional Guard may be continued
throughout the winter. During the
winter, if not before, it is hoped that
enough tonnage will be available for
the dispatch of most of the National
Guard to France; namely, those di
visions properly equipped and train
ed for service in war.
"I can assure you that every step
taken by the War Department for
the organization and training of all
our military forces has been
prompted solely by the desire to fur
ther the prosecution of the war in
such a manner as to effect the best
results. It is impossible to foresee
what difficulties may arise in the fu
ture, but the present plans of the
War Department are so framed as
to provide for the training of each
portion of the army, as soon as the
equipment can be furnished and to
dispatch each portion of the army to
France as 300n as it is trained and
equipped and tonnage becomes
available."
Governor Brumbaugh
Will Fill Vacancies
Governor Brumbaugh is expected
to act late to-day in the matter of
the district appeal exemption boards,
whose members he suggested to
Washington some time ago. The
Governor returned to Harrisburg to
day after a week-end spent in the
vicinity of Philadelphia and will also
fill up vacancies In local boards.
Colonel Frank G. Sweeney. In
charge of the draft headquarters,
said to-day that the supplies wore
being rushed to local boards and
that as fast as Information came
from Washington it would be for
warded to them. It is probable that
the Governor will name an officer to
succeed Colonel Howard S. Williams
as disbursing officer very shortly,
as Colonel Williams Is assigned to
command the ammunition Bupply
train.
Colonel Sweeney, who has been
getting numerous letters from people
asking for numbers, to-day said that
persons could obtain the Information
much more rapidly by addressing

With the March of Progress
We are now busily engaged in remodeling the interior of the store.
This activity is brought about by reason of an increasing volume of business.
Departments are to be moved and re-arranged—many of them given more
space for selling; the garment section- practically doubling its space.
With these changes there is bound to be some confusion and we ask you to
overlook any little inconvenience caused you in locating departments; also the
i appearance of the crowded conditions of some of the merchandise at this time.
When completed this store will be able to facilitate the handling of a larger
volume of business by showing more goods—and by improved service.
May we again ask your indulgence in this matter —assuring you that the
work will be pushed along to completion at an early date; and when finished
you will enjoy shopping here with added comfort and convenience.
