"State Oil" Gets Some
Men Into Trouble
Fake tree Inspectors and sprayers
who have recently been working in
the eastern part of the State are being
hunted djwn by the Pennsylvania De
partment of Agriculture and one ar
rest and conviction in Philadelphia
has been made.
Some of the men are claiming that
they are representatives of the De
partment of Agriculture and are using
nui they name as "State Oil" for
tree treatment. They usually follow
by charging big prices for the work.
Secretary of Agriculture Charles E.
Patton wants to warn all persons
against such imposters and has or
dered Economic Zoologist J. G. San
ders to prosecute all cases where such
false pretense has been practiced. In
Allentown. Easfon and Reading an
other band of tree doctors have been
injecting lard into trees and many
are using inferior spraying dope. Zo
ologist Sanders iesires to have re
ports sent him at Harrisburg of per
sons representing themselves as State
agents or persons offering to doctor
trees, of whose practice there is any
doubt.
Another Physician Is
Off For War Training
On orders from the Government, Dr.
Edgar S. Everhart. a physician of
Lemoyne and a first lieutenant in the
medical reserve corps, left this morn
ing for Fort Ogelthorpe, Ga., to go

He has been connected with the
Harrisburg Hospital and several ot
the local Guard companies, and is
widely known throughout this section
of the State.

flag will be floated at the place. Allen
Sangree will be in charge of the place.

ATHENS I'NDER SIEGE
By Aisociattd Prut
Lor.doSi, Aug. 3. A state of siege
has been declared in the whole Greek
department of Attica, including Ath
ens and Piraeus, according to a dis
patch from Athens to the Exchange
Telegraph Company.
' —v
Newlywed Slackers
Cannot Escape Army
Washington, Aug. 3. Provost
Marshal General Crowder sent a
telegram last night to Governors
of all States which is relied upon
to check in some measure the pres
ent rush to secure exemptions on
the ground of recent marriages. It
read as follows:
"The selective service law does
not requite discharges in all cases
of technical legal deponder.cy, but
only permits discharges where, in
view of dependency, a discharge
advisable. Local boards may
well hold that a marriage hastily
consummated recently, and especi
ally one consummated by a person
after he has been called to present
himself for examination to deter
mine his fitness for mllltarv ser
vice. does not create a status of
dependency In which it is advis
able to grant a discharge.
"It Is to be expected that local
boards will exercise this full dis- 1
cretlon In cases where they are !
convinced that ur.'crupulous per
sons have thus violated the pnn- I
i iples of the selective service law !
in the hope of escaping a duty
that Is rightly theirs and of pass- 1
ing that duty to some one else."
"The Live Store" ' "Always Reliable"
The overwhelming "Big Business" we are having at this "Live Store" compelled us to
close all day Thursday and nearly swamped us "yesterday" on the opening day of our greatest
Semi-annual
Mark-Down Sale
of All Spring and Summer Stocks
From a purely financial standpoint, it So trying to forget that the market 1
would be impossible for us to sell these goods at a price of our merchandise is from one-third to one
penny less than our regular prices. . But having kept our stock more to-day than when we bought it and still advancing
up to the high-water mark until now, leaves every advantage by leaps and bounds with a scant regard for cost or the actual
for our rn.fnmor. fk orvi u ami . i_* j c u j* involved, we now <;ut our regular low prices so deep that an
for our cu.tomer, by g,v.ng them the best kind of merch.nd..e ab.olutely complete clearance must result in the brief time left
obtainable to choose from at honest reductions. f or this purpose.
tF or while our Half-yearly Sale is not first in point of jf
time it is easily first in importance, affording styles, varieties, qualities
and actual money-savings, such as no other store cares to offer except perhaps (on
paper) Remember that this is our own complete, new and high-grade stock with all ||
reductions from our former low prices, and just the same care and attention given you
as though you were paying us a profit on your purchase.
