HOWARD WERT SECOND PAPER The most extensive Industrial plant affected by the Capitol Park exten-1 sion was the W. O. Hickok Manufac- : turing Company, otherwise known as the "Eagle Works." Established by! a leading citizen of the early Hariis-l burg. W. O. Hickok. in Strawberry street east of Third, it was compell-1 fd in 1844, to seek more extended; quarters and was located on a plot of: ground between State and North streets, facing the Pennsylvania rail road. The motto of the industryi adopted by Mr. Hickok when he be gan business was "Finis Coronet 1 Opus." and that appears to have been • the guiding star of the management | during all succeeding years. The original plot at North street 1 was enlarged by the purchase of the i Bay plant inclusive of the large brick | building in which the Bay Shoe Manufacturing Company had done business, until it covered two aci'us of ground on which were fourteen; buildings, of various sizes connected i with the diversified lines of manufac tures of the Eagle Works. The various leading products ofj the Eagle Works during the seventy two years of its occupancy of the site j recently vacated, afford a striking commentary on vast changes in eco- i nomic conditions which have occured in our country in the passing of three-fourths of a century. Early in its history the leading products were feed cutters and cider mills. With; these the Eagle Works scored their j initial success in all the rural por-1 tions of the United States. Later.' when common school development i had commenced, school furniture was the leading output. With ad-1 vances in modern building methods j sash weights and cellar grates were its prominent products. When the' bicycle fad was at its height, this j company took high rank amongst the j manufacturers of that article. And so on, in innumerable cases that need] not be cited, the managers of the plant founded by Mr. Hickok were! always prompt in responding to a | popular demand for any article. Such his been the excellence of the bookbinding machinery manu- i factured at the Hickok plant that at least thirteen foreign countries have' adopted it for use in their respective' government printing offices. It was in the large brick buildinp • of the Bay plant facing on State) street, which ultimately was absorb ed by the Hickok Company, that most of the departments of the state government were housed after the! burning of the Capitol. The Eagle Works are now housed ' in commodious buildings at an ad vantageous situation at Ninth and Cumberland streets: while the Dau-i phin Cigar Companv. which occupied I the large brick building after it was PLEASE CARRY PARCELS PiflfPQ PVfW) Iff ' MAKE CAREFUL SELECTIONS ) v. turns and Exchanges. , Thrift Items For Thursday Morning Shoppers: Store Closes at Noon No Thursday Morn- Fibre Rockers r— —Silk Specials Women's Hosiery ing Specials Sent C.

Levi Brandt and the James Mc- Cormick estate, occupied substantial ly the entire square bounded by State, Poplar and South streets and the Pennsylvania railroad. It soon came to be recognized as one of the leading grain shipping centers of Central Pennsylvania. For forty-five years it has been controlled by sub stantially the same interests which founded it, with the exception that, fourteen years after the organization, Mr. Hoffer dropped out of the corn pany. The Harrisburg Storage Com pany, a later organization, is con trolled by the same interests. Early in the negotiations for tbe purchase by the state of the proper ties of the Capitol extension zone the extensive plant of the two companies was bought, the consideration being $96,600. Both companies are now located in Commodious and fully equipped buildings in the South Sec ond street business section, the de velopment of which during recent years has been phenomenal. With the extensive improvements connect ed with the new Pennsylvania rail road freight station this section seems destined to become one of the busiest hives of great industries to be found anywhere in our land. The City Star Laumlry A prominent industrial building of the section taken over by the state government was the massive brick structure fronting in State street and extending along West street to North alley. It was erected originally by Ed-\vard Moeslein for the housing of some of the manufacturing industries of which he has been the founder during a busy life. It was purchased subsequently by William E. Orth, long extensively identified with Har rishurg's laundry interests, who made two extensive enlargements of the orisinal building. With the passing of the "Old Eighth." Mr. Orth secured ground in Xorth Sixth, and erected there a massive four-story industrial plant which occupies almost an entire square Detween Boas and Herr streets, extending back from Sixth to Sarah street. One floor is occupied by one of the Moeslein industries, the Harrisburg: Apparel Company, Inc., of which W. E. Dietrich is pres ident and Alonzo G. Lehman, man ager. Another prominent apparel manu facturing industry which had been i located in the State street building was the Jennings Manufacturing Company, founded by John C. Jen nings, his son, Edwin D. Jennings, being now associated with him. This thriving company is now in a finely HARRISBURG TELEGRAPH T equipped plant extending from 2012 to 2028 North Fourth street. Tlio National and the Market There is one building of the "Old Eighth," long a conspicuous land mark of the city, that will not re appear in any other location. This is the National Hotel, at the inter section of Fourth and State streets, and the adjacent markethouse, wide ly known as the State street market. The pk>t on which these buildings stood was long a vacant lot after East State street, as the wide ave nue east of the Capitol was popu larly termed, had been built up densely. The brick building 60 well known as the "National" was erect ed about 1870, but for many years only a portion of the structure was used for hotel purposes. Under var ious landlords it does not appear to have been a pronounced success at first, and at one time lost its license for several years. When, however, in 1885, Fred W. Ebel, became its landlord it acquired a prominence and reputation which continued with it to the end. Its proximity to the Capitol and ti\e ex cellence of its management mad# 2 a favorite resort for many a statesman and politician of the past. The State street market, held in a building annexed to the National, was not at first a financial succes.s and proved so great a white elephant to the original company that it soon passed into the hands of a private in dividual. The day maskets at this location never amounted to much and were poorly patronized by both sellers and buyers but the Saturday night mar ket was a whole three-ring circus with something doing every minute. For years the vicinity of the State street market on Saturday nights, gave the police of the city an oppor tunity to feel that they were earn ing their salaries. A former city editor of one of the Harrlsburg newspapers, now occupy ing a responsible position in Youngs town, Ohio, had a quaint way of get ting a little recreation when Sat urday evening brought a day and a night of release from his office du ties. He would wait around the mayor's office in the Square till the Inevitable Saturday night riot call came in from the "Old Eighth"; then hop into the patrol with the officers who were being dispatched to the zone of trouble. The thick of the melee was liable to be anywhere along State street from Fourth ao Cowden. But wherever It was the men of the patrol were sure to find brickbats flying through the atmos phere or razors shining and gleam ing in the electric light. The passing of the State street! market seems to have impressed on the management of some of Harris burg's other marketing establish ments the necessity of a Saturday night market, and our citizans are now well served In this respect. None of them, however, can reproduce the bizar-e sights of the old Sta>e street market, and It Is just as well that they cannot. The extension of the Capitol Park relegated many licensed hotels to ob livion. Though none of these hac the prominence of tho National, yet there were Beveral that wero well conducted and at tho time of their passing were landmarks of many years' standing. Prominent among these were the McCarthy House, northwest corner of State and Cow den streets and the unpretentious lit tle place long conducted by Patrick Loyd in Fourth street. Yet one more number of this series will tell of some other business re movals for the old Eighth ward. (To Be Continued.)

I.—Additional deaths during the night increased the list of yesterday's heat victims to thirteen. Of the 300 or more who iwere prostrated several were re ported early to-day to be in a seri ous condition and it was feared some would not recover. The Intense heat continued throughout the night, with a drop in temperature of less than 10 degrees from the maximum of 101 registered yesterday afternoon. When the last official reading was taken at mid night the thermometer stood at 92 and with a high percentage of humidity the drop in temperature afforded but slight relief. Thousands of persons slept in the parks, squares and recreation piers, while in the congested districts every available roof was occupied by fami lies seeking relief. GRAIN MOTH RAVAGES ARE DESTRUCTIVE Farm Agent Tells How Raids of Pests May Be Averted In the weekly bulletin issued by H. G. Nlesley, county farm agent, he warns against the ravages of tho grain moth tnat has done so much damage in former years. Rules are given to enable farmers to take pre cautionary measures. The bulletin follows: "Undoubtedly the most important question that is confronting the farmers in the southern end Of Dauphin county is the Angoumots grain moth. "With the bumper wheat crop now In the barn, the question with the farmer Is shall we lose hundreds of dollars worth of wheat, as we did last year and year before, or shall we be able to market our entire crop. "This question the Dauphin Coun ty Farm Bureau will try to solve for the farmers this year. "The original infestation occurs during the summer while the grain is still in the field. The moth lay their eggs on the ripe heads If the grain Is still in the field or on the wheat in stacks If it is already har-' vested. The grubs hatch from these eggs, eat their way into the grain and remain inside feeding there. During a warm fall they may become full grown before winter and trans formed within the grain to pupae, from which the moths emerge. The moths push their way out of the grain and lay their eggs on the out side of the kernels. These eggs hatch if the weather is warm enough and again eat their way into the grain. If conditions are favorable, such as is often the case when the grain Is stored in bins iu barns, reproduction continues throughout the year, sev eral generations being produced. The moths of the last generation hatch during the latter part of spring or I in early summer. These resemble the ! common clothes moths often found in houses, being of a yellowish or buff color slightly marked in black, and have narrow wings which when open measure about three-fourths of an inch across. To Demonstrate "Arrangements are now being made by the county farm agent to hold a number of actual demonstra tions, In the granaries of such farm ers that are centrally located, and on whose farms infestation was the worst. "The immediate neighbors will be invited to ocme in and witness these demonstrations, in order that each AUGUST 1, 1917. may bo made thoroughly familiar with the proceduro, and the prin cipal Involved. These demonstra tions will be only u couple hours In length and In addition to the actual treatment of the grain, a Bhort talk on the history of the insect will be given by an export from State Col lege. "Rules to follow: "I—Bo sure your garners or bins are tight. If boles or cracks appear In sides or floor, paste them shut with ordinary paper. Hour paste will bo satisfactory. "2—Thrash as soon as the wheat has gone through the customary sweat, preferably four or Ave weeks after putting In barn." TO REDUCE WAR RATES Copenhagen, Aug. I.—The Ekstra bladet says the Danish war insurance bureau probably will reduce its rate some time in August unless heavy losses are meanwhile experienced. The decision Is interpreted as being due to the results of the submarine campaign. What Do You Know About Your Blood Supply?
