il uthe audience in the singing of
Iwo selections, "Onward Christian
Soldiers" and "America."
The Rev. Harry X. Bassler. pas
tor of the Second Reformed Church,
of this city, and chaplain of the
Eighth Regiment, preached an in
teresting sermon on the "Book of
Books."
The young men of the regiment
have been plentifully supplied with
Bibles. Almost every Sunday School
In this city has contributed several
copies, and an effort has been made
to see that no one was missed in the
distribution.
Just as the recruit cares for his
equipment—his musket, his uniform
—he should care for his Bible.
To Repeat Guard Mount
The equipment of the men must
meet their needs in a temporal way,
and their Testaments should meet all
needs in a spiritual way. It is pos
sible to tell a great deal about a
man's manner of living from the
appearance of his Bible.
At the conclusion of the evening
services, regular evening inspection
claimed the interest of visitors.
The guard mount drill held Fri
day evening by Company X proved
so popular that Captain Jenkins has
decided to repeat the ceremony
Tuesday evening at 6.40, at the lower
end of the Island. The band con
cert will be held following guard
mount drill.
It is possible that the military
dance, to be given by the Machine
Gun Company at Fort Washington
tomorrow evening, will be the last
one held before the boys leave for
Camp Hancock. All arrangements
for the dance have been completed.

A cablegram from Bordeaux,
France, received hy the Harrisburg
j Telegraph to-day, announces the
! safe arrival of the Nineteenth Regi
ment of Railroad Engineers. The
: good news reads:
"Publish following names, Baker,
| liockey, Meyers, Manuels, GafTnev,
I Rosenberry. Mell, Atticks, Shott,
I Behrens, Novinger, arrived safelv.
I (Signed) "P.OCKEY."
. The message was sent by Corporal
j W. L. Rockey, of New Cumberland.
| The boys enlisted in the Ninth Regi
, ment, which was later made the
j Nineteenth Regiment of Railroad
Engineers. The railroaders were in
! training a month at Philadelphia.
! They creeped away during the still
! ness of nigbt about two weeks ago.
! Nothing was known regarding their

| waters.
The regiment is made up of six
j companies, 200 men each, and is in
command of Colonel Herbert Dea
kyne. Captain B. W. Kline and Ed.

Reel Warns Consumers
to Be Careful When They
Buy Baskets of Peaches
Inspector of Weights and Measures
Reel, said to-day that the consum
ers should be careful in purchasing
peaches as there are several types
of baskets used that to the average
person are confusing.
He says that 'he type most com
monly used is the round basket of
sixteen-quart capacity -which should
contain twenty-four pounds, the other
type is the square basket for four
teen-quart capacity and should con
tain twenty-one pounds. Many deal
ers who use the square basket will
tell you that they hold as much as
the round basket but such is not the
ease, there being a difference of two
quarts in the capacity or the two
baskets, he says.
Baskets should be marked as to the
quantity of the contents and dealers
selling or offering for sale peaches
or any other commodity that are not
marked as to the weight or measure
of the contents are violating the law
and can he prosecuted.
The weight of a bushel of peaches
| in this state is forty-eight pounds.
naif bushel twenty-four pounds, peck
: twelve pounds, half peck six pounds
and quarter peck three pounds. No
! dealer has the right to tell the con
sumer that he is selling by the
, basket and not by weight or meas
j ure. He must sell a definite quantity
of any commodity where there is a
I standard weight under the laws of
: Pennsylvania.

BOYS MOBILIZED 1
FOR WORK SAVE
BIG PEACH CROP
Life Made Healthful aRd At
tractive ut Community
Camps
Hammonton, N. J., Aug. 27. — .
While tho farmers of other regions j I
are crying to tho cities for help to ; 1
save the crops, the fruit growers of j '
this region are harvesting their j
peaches by the aid of boys gathered
from every part of the state and even
Pennsylvania. This has been made f
possible through the co-operation of '
the various city and county branches
ot the Y. M. C. A. and particularly
those of Camden city and county c
Each of the latter is conducting '
special camps for the boys and keep- j
ing them filled for the farmers. J
But for these boys there undonVt- '
edly would have been no peach har- 1
vest this year. Farmers had virtually s
given up hope of getting sufficient 1
labor to pick and pack the fruit. '
because of the scarcity, when 1
Camden county Y. M. C. A. opened :
its berry-plcklng camp at Waterfora 1
and another at Slcklerville, some
time ago. That proved the opening
wedge. So well did the boys do in 1
the latter places that the peach grow- 1
crs began to send In appeas for
similar assistance. As a result, when
the berry season ended the Slcklsr
| ville camp was moved bodily to
Glassboro, while the Waterford camp
was brought hers
Varied Work
In the peach camp the boys are j
set to various kinds of work, ac- |
cording to the needs and the;
weather. When the extremely hot!
weather came on for a few days,
many were set to work malting
crates for packing peaches. Every
crate is made right here on the
farms. Those supplies, made then, j
have been exhausted, so that each I
day now some of the boys are de- i
tailed to make more crates while
others go out into the orchards unci 1
send in the fruit in baskets.
In the pucking houses the boys sort j
the fruit according to size and quality
while others fill the carriers and then j
pack the completed crates. The final I
operation there then becomes the !
nailing up of the crates and stacking I
ready for the trucks. This goes on i
throughout the day. So proficient
have the boys become that the aver
age for two experts in the region, 259 j
crates packed by each daily, has been |
closely approached. Several of the i
boys who never before saw a peach i
packed now average 225 crates dally, j
Camp Life is Fine
The camp life of the youngsters is !
ideal. They live in large, airy tents, '
just off the White Horse pike, under
a stretch of trees that provides excel- I
lent shade. Their breakfasts are
preared for them before they arise in
the mox-ning and by the time they
are ready to sit down steaming hot
\ ictuals are set out in large mess
tents. At noontime, to prevent hav
ing the boys eat dried-out food car
ried off in the morning. Secretary
and Mrs. Rash, with Mr. Arroll,
ntak? up the noon lunches and these
i are packed in boxes in an automobile
' and carried out to the boys in the or
chards or packing houses. In this j
manner they get fresh sandwiches!
' and other food in midday.
In the evenings there are steaming 1
hot dinners for all. Afterward there
are all sorts of amusements. A large !
amusement tent is provided. A vie- j
trola and other musical instruments |
are kept in camp. There are two'
large lakes near by where the boys
take their plunges, always under the
eye of either Mr. Rash or Mr. Ar- j.
roll. The boys now In the camp have ;
! been gathered from Philadelphia, j
I Camden, Atlantic City, Moorestown, i,
Morrlstown, Newark, Clifton, Ridge-;
wood, Hammonton, Pleasantville, I

COUNCIL PASSES ON
RIVERSIDE ANNEXATION
[Continued From First Page.]
started at once to put tho district
under city school supervision.
Planning ltule Read
Heforo the vote was taken on tho
ordinance a short discussion develop
ed over Commissioner Lynch's ob
jections. He pointed to the proba
bility of taking over the Hardscrab
ble properties, making Improvements
about the Capitol Park extension
zone and the garbage and ash ques
tion. Acting Mayor Gorgas refuted
the argument by saying that Coun
cil's best move would be to take in
Riverside before all the other Im
provements are made necessary.
The resolutions passed by the City
Planning Commission approving the
annexation, was read to the commis
sioners. Commissioner Gross then
pointed out that unless the River
side territory was annexed the Har
rtsburg Academy would have diffi
culty in obtaining a large enough
water supply and stated he knew the
directorate of the school favored the
move.
Award Contracts
Other action by Council included,
the awarding of contracts for nine
hose driers to Adam Stuckev at his
bid of $79; roofing of Mt. Pleasant
i Fire Company house, to George C.
| Eager, $268.38. An ordinance was
I introduced to authorize Commlssion
i or Lynch to advertise for bids for a
small bridge over the Asylum creek
in North Ci-meron street, at a cost
of $3,500. A culvert over the creek
was badly damaged by the heavy
rains last week. The transfer of the
! contract awarded to H. W. Johnson
; and I. R. Lyme for laying water
! pipes in Agate, Manada, Lenox and
Twentieth to Twenty-seventh streets,
was approved. An ordinance was
I presented permitting Dives, Pomeroy
! & Stewart to make sliuht -changes in
; Ihe grade of Strawberry street, at
Strawberry and Dewberry streets, at
j the expense of the tirm. Commis
! sioner Gross was authorized to ans

j ing of five feet of ground on each

\ At the request of Commissioner
I Dunkle, a special meeting ot Council
I will be held on Friday afternoon at
j 2 o'clock, when an ordinance will be
introduced authorizing him to ad
j vertise for bids for the collection
and disposal of garbage in the city
I for one year. Commissioner Dunkle
|in making the request stated that
the city does not have time to erect
( a garbage incinerating plant until
next February when the present con
| tract expires, and that more time
should be given to a thorough in
vestigation of whether tho incinera
tion or reduction process is the chea
est. Collection and removal of ashes
will in all probability be done by the
; city, Commissioner Kunkle said as
-the Pennsylvania Reduction Com-
I pany, holders of the present contract,
will only bid on garbage disposal for
a period of one year.
