"Yes, boys," said th# contractor,
"but they're filling holes over there

like that, would you? Think of how
you'd miss seeing those two old gray
horses of ours helping pull the wag

"You know what I mean—that

"O," said Newton, "you mean wag

"All right," agreed the contractor.

to carry further loads. The war, he
contended, is not popular.
"There are scores of contributing

tory from every stump. We are a
polyglot people, without racial en
tity. Our free republic Is full of
aliens. We have many who cloak
themselves in American habiliments
but their souls, genius and cunning
are loyal to the lend from which
they came. We harbor the trained
propagandists whose business it is to

bomb planters and wholesale mur

It would be well to say less about
world-wide democracy and let it ring

JITNEY CASES
COMING TO CRUX
Harrlsburg's jitney situation will
come to a crux to-night at midnight
when the time for the sixty-five jit
neymen to file petitions to amend ap
plications for state certificates will
expire. Thus far none of the men
has filed any paper and the result
may be that the applications on file
for certificates of public convenience
will fall and that the men against
whom .the Harrisburg Railways Com
pany filed protests will lose their'
cases. It is the intention of the at
torneys for the jitneymen to take
appeals as soon as formal orders are
issued in the cases, although none of
the counsel would admit to-day that
it was the plan to refuse to file
amendments and then take appeals.
Some time ago the commission is
sued notice that it would not grant
applications for certificates for jitneys
In the city between Market and Divi
sions streets and Front street and the
railroad, but would receive apploca
tions for the rest of the city and
for passage through the above area
byway of the Herr street subway.
The time given for filing amended pe
titions will expire to-night.
l'etlttonH for a rehearing of the
application for commutation of the
death sentence of Henry Ward Mot
tern, of Jefferson county, were filed
to-day at the office of the Board of
Pardons. Mottern is under sentence
of electrocution in the week of Sep
tember 10. but It is probable that a
respite will be granted to him in a
day or so. The case will be heard on
September 25, but all papers for the
board must be filed for the nineteenth,
the original date for meeting.
The I'ublic Service CominlHHlon to
day listed complaints against the
West Reading Water Company and
cases arising in the Reading district,
for hearing In Reading on October 4.

If farmers desire to have the gar

to the city of Springfield all that the
garbage is worth.
"Finally, it means that Springfield
will not consider any proposal

the garbage to a concern and then
pay the concern any part of the

Get Big Returns From
Piggery Maintained
From Waste Garbage
At the State Hospital for the In
sane for more than twenty years the
garbage from the various buildings
has been fed to pigs. The system
ts an effective way of disposing of the
waste, according to Dr. H. U. Orth
superintendent of the hospital, caus
ing no annoyance from odors and
little extra work after the garbage is
collected.
At present eighty hogs are kept in
a large piggery on the hospital
grounds and are fed entirely on the
waste. About a month before the
time for killing them they are fat
tened on corn. Usually the supply of
pork obtained can be used for weeks,
Dr. Orth explained, effecting a big
saving in the cost of maintenance.
Maintaining a piggery with garbage
is a system that hsa been in use here
for years. If the pens are kept clean
there is no trouble from offensive
odors and all the waste Is disposed
of daily. While we are not annoyed
by the piggery, at times the odors
from the Pennsylvania Reduction
Company plant are extremely ob
noxious," Dr. Orth said.
Mrs. McCaleb Is Head

The local Red Cross has made ar

who will pass through here will be
given sandwiches, coffee, sausages,

The trains will begin to pass
through September 2 en route to the
national cantonment and to France.
Secretary Haker requested that the
Red Crosß take this matter In hand.
Mrs. W. B. McCaleb, 2 7 North Front
