School Children Come
Forward With Their
Little Bit of Corn
School children attending West
Shore schools came forward with
their hit of corn to-day. The chil
dren brought to school the amount
they would otherwise thrown away
in the ceelbration of Hallowe'en, as
they were asked to do by their teach
ers two weeks ago. The corn will
be used for the benefit of the Red
Cross.
At Lemoyne in several of the
rooms the window sills are lined with
little bags of corn which the chil
dren. brought as their contribution.
Much corn was contributeel by chil
dren at the Camp Hill schools this
morning.
In the other towns the children
did not understand the move thor
oughly and not much was brought
in. Teachers appealed to the chil
dren this afternoon and it is likely
they will come forward with their
little bit to-morrow.
The move of having children to
celebrate Hallowe'en without throw
ing corn and vegetables and dam
aging property was started through
the school teachers by a prominent
resident of the West Shore.

Lemoyne Folks Await
Plans For New Bridge
Developments in the plan to erect
a new bridge over the Reading Rail
road tracks at Lemoyne are at pres
ent unknown to the public. When a
committee from the West Shore-Fire
men's Union went before the State
Highway Department officials, asking
what could be done in regard to im
provements to the Cumberland Val
ley and the Reading bridges, they
were informed that plans for a new
bridge for the Reading Railroad were
being made. This work, it is under
stood, was up to the state and the
Valley Railways Company. An offi
cial of the Valley Railways Company
said this morning that he knew noth
ing more of the matter than what
he read in the papers.

Buy Standard Bread of Your Dealer
Almost overwhelmed by a flood of requests for deliveries of STAND
ARD and NEW ERA bread to private families, which requests in every
instance have been met by a counter-request from us that the customer
BUY OF THE GROCER, the Standard Baking Company takes this
opportunity to make the public acquainted with its policy of selling its
products. It further requests that the public co-operate with the com
pany by purchasing bread from the dealer where possible.
The two most popular loaves of bread, baked in Harrisburg by the
Standard Baking Company, and on sale at leading grocery stores and
daily markets, are:
STANDARD BREAD NEW ERA BREAD
"The 6c Loaf" "The 10c Loaf"
The Standard Baking Company also makes a line of
high-grade Vienna, French, Rye, Graham, Whole Wheat
and Pullman Bread, in addition to all kinds of hard and
soft rolls.
The Standard Company maintains no specialized retail deliveries.
Rather,' the public can be served more efficiently through the dealer
the grocer and daily market the logical retailers for bread.
The Standard Company does, however, maintain a fleet of wholesale
deliveries —each unit manned by a crack-a-jack bread salesman, clean
cut, courteous and quick, each man trained, eager and certain to give
the wholesale dealer the best possible service under even the most ex
traordinary circumstances.
Be Sure to Get STANDARD or NEW ERA
Practically every grocery and daily market in Harrisburg handles
STANDARD and NEW ERA bread. Thus, you are assured of service
from your dealer.
However, if your dealer can't serve you, call the bakery on either phone
and we'll see that you get STANDARD bread.
Our High Quality Will Always Be Maintained
If the public will co-operate in keeping overhead delivery expenses at
a minimum, we will be able to maintain our present reasonable prices.
