REFORESTING IS TO BE ADVANCED Conklin Calls For Men to Work in the Woods Dur ing the Planting Season The State of y\ \ //j Pennsylvania will \\\ d embark this most extensive re d forestation plan it lmfe/g'tHVpV has ever attempt- P37n n□ ei '* I,ut Iftbor is so 1 WfilinßTiniW scarce that Coin : fcllllnTliniWMll missloner of For- Conklin has ask wsiwfcn COiymie/ cd for young men to volunteer to plant trees. Twenty five State College students have al ready enrolled, but as there are 8,- 000,000 trees to set out many more men are needed. The plan is to reforest lands now owned by the state, many of which were cut out years ago and which will now be scientifically handled. The reservations to be planted are in Union, Potter, Tioga and Westmore land counties and if it can be done tracts will be planted in other coun ties. The camps will be located on the reserves and all available labor concentrated. The state nurseries have about 21,000,000 trees, of which 8,000,000 must be planted unless there is to be serious loss, but owing to the number of foresters and woodsmen who have enlisted we need men to plant," said Commissioner Conklin. "The planting season will open about April 5 or 10 and continue until about May 25. The men will be well cared for at camp, paid good wages, given traveling expenses and in ad dition will have the valuable expert-' ence in the woods and know that they are doing something to help along their state's conservation work. This year we will plant on more de nuded hillsides than ever beforo if we can get the men." Board Meets. —The Public Service Commission sat to-day for arguments in cases heard during the winter. An executive session will be held to night and complaints against tho Philadelphia Rapid Transit Co., will be sent to the company for answers. More Desertions. Requisitions ap pear to be running in streaks again ft the State Capitol and in the last few weeks more have been issued for desertion of families than for any thing else. In some weeks as high as seven for that offence have been Issued. some of the men being brought back to Pnnsylvanla from beyond the Mississippi. Bees Hard Hit.—This winter is declared to have been the most de structive in years to bees by George JI. Rea, the State Apiary Inspector, who estimates the loss in thousands of dollars in an industry which ef forts are being made to encourage. The greatest loss was occasioned by failure to protect hives and tho bulk of bees wintered outdoors will be lost, says the inspector. Bees which survive will be too weak to secure full honey production. The Inspec tor urges that care be taken to pro tect tho remaining hives.

CANDY AND SUGAR GIVES DAUPHIN FLYER A HOLIDAY Walter J. Shaffer Thanks Senders of Christmas Boxes; "Puts Heart Into a Man," He Writes Two Harrisburg women became interested in Walter J. Shaffer, the Dauphin aviator in France, through reading his interesting letters in the Telegraph. They concluded to send him a Christmas box and have just received a lettej - of thanks undec date of January G. Among other things he says: "Your package of candy, dates, coffee, etc., arrived the other day, but X was too busy flying—and eat ing the contents—to find time to thank you for the kind and thought ful gift. Will try to now, if these Frenchmen will let up on their noise, since there are six of them beside me sitting around the open fireplace in a vain endeavor to keep warm. What with the "beau coup pinard" they drank for dinner and the fact that they don't have to "work" to-day—since it's raining— they are celebrating in their usual way, by making a lot of noise. "You cannot imagine how ap preciated that Washington coffee was unless you have drunk this aw ful French stuff, and then you would understand why I regard it as a gold mine. Far French coffee al ways has a burnt taste, and besides being served black sometimes is minus the sugar, and that was where your "sweet" offering came in. Incidentally I have not used the French coffee since yours arrived. You know. I only acquired the cof fee habit in France, not because I like it, but that's about ail one ever got for breakfast while in the schools.

As for the knock ing and tapping, said Mrs. Corby, "Why you know what an old house does when the wind blows." And the bones in the "casket." Well, they weren't "exactly bones," it was said to-day, but it looked like quicklime, say the discoverers of the "hones," and Jou know quicklime is used to decay bones. The reporter looked, and there were traces of what looked as though it might by some remote chance be quicklime, only neither the reporter nor the Corbys have ever seen quicklime. And the ' headless fellow who usurped the heat of the sitting room stove, has become a person of un known sex. It was said this morning at the house that it really would be difficult to tell from memory if it were a man or woman, and the crowds having driven him away, his sex and identity bid fair to remain unsolved.

The Bureau of Markets of the State Department of Agriculture calls attention to the Importance of look ing after the seed potatoes that are to be used this year in a bulletin just issued. Many thousands of bushels of potatoes throughout the state have been frozen during the severe wea ther of this winter, and no doubt many more bushels will freeze be fore warm weather arrives. Unless the farmer is extremely careful he will be planting potatoes that have been slightly frozen, thereby reduc ing their vitality, if not completely destroying their germinating power. The Bulletin says: "The Bureau urges that the farmers be ex tremely careful in making shipments during the next few weeks. Several complaints from farmers who had loaded cars and shipped to the city, only to find their potatoes frozen on arrival, have been received. Before attempting to ship in car lots the farmer should get reliable informa tion as to preparation of the car, method of heating, etc.. and see tha nothing is left undone that is neces sary to insure safe arrival. It Is evi dent that many bushels of potatoes must be consumed between now and seeding time if waste Is to be pre vented. It will be safer for the av erage farmer to sell his potatoes f. o. b., station instead of making ship ments to be sold on arrival unless he understands the business. If farm ers desire to make their own ship ments they can write the Bureau of Markets at Harrisburg and they will be put in touch with reliable parties who will give them fair treatment. "It is highly important that the supply of seed should be taken care of first, and then efforts should be made to market the surplus stock as quickly as possible. Farmers should not be discouraged because of the unfavorable conditions which have confronted them this season, but should plant freely. The introduc tion of potato flour should make an increased demand for the potatoes, and the Department of Agriculture officials believe it will be a good pol it icy to keep up the acreage this year." Mechanics Are Willing to Aid Government by Working in Shipyards More than a score of mechanics signified their willingness to be em ployed by the government in ship building work, called upon to do so by the Dauphin County Com. mlttee of Public Safety. The registra tion is taking place daily in the of fice of W. H. Gaither, at <fhe Bergner building. Registration is conducted every day, and from 7 until 8 o'clock in the evening. Of the men who have signed them selves as willing t.o enlist In the service of the nation in its shipbuild ing program, several are advanced in years, and others have admitted that they are not skilled mechanics. All these men have declared themselves as anxious to serve the government In anv capacity whatever in its time of need. 9 E. A. MEAD TO SPEAK Edward A.
