Bankers Asked to Join
Movement to Save Food
During Crisis of the War
Cotiek v at!on of food was strongly :
urged In an address by C. J. Hep-!
burn, chief counsel for the Federal !
Food Administration in Pennsylva- !
Ilia, who spoke befyore the annual :
meeting of Group 5 of the Pennsyl- j
vania Bankers' Association, held at
the Masonic Temple to-day. Mr. >
Hepburn urged particularly that
wheat be conserved. Millions of
bushes of wheat must be sent across
to France in the next few months if
we expect to win this war, he de
clared.
A business meeting of the group
was held at 12 o'clock, George W.
Stlne, cashier of the Annville Nation
al Bank, pronouncing the invocation.
Reports of committees and oncers
were read. Luncheon was served at
1 o'clock to 253 representatives of
the various banks in the district.

fect on Local Conditions" was dis
cussed by Joseph Wayne, Jr., presi
dent of the Girard National Bank,
Philadelphia. T. A. Daly, the poet
humorist, a member of the editorial

FLAG-RAISING POSTPONED
The flag-raising at the Lalance-

FIRST CONTRACT
FOR BIG DEPOT
[Continued from First Page.]
Susquehanna, depends upon a resur
vey of the whole district, to be made
by engineers of the War Department ,
in company with a committee of the i
Harrisburg Chamber of Commerce
vhich yesterday called at the War |
Department and went over the mat-1
ter with Major Wells, the officer ini
charge.
This committee, made up of Presi
dent Andrew S. Patterson: W. J. Rose
division freight agent of the Penn
sylvania Railroad at this point;
Frank B. Musser and John F. Dapp,
called upon Major Wells and told him I
that they thought a grave error
would be made if the depots were
placed on the West Shore. They
showed that the Middletown plot has I
been flooded only twice in a long I
period of years and then only when i
water was backed up from the river 1
through the spillway of the old ca- I
nal and then offered the Government
all the slag needed to remove that |
danger by filling up the old canal
or any other low places.
They pointed out also that the
cross-river site would be mosquito
infested in summer unless Marsh run
is treated at great expense; that the
sanitation for such a large ■ number
of men would be expensive; that
there are no railroad yard facilities
at New Cumberland; that the plant
at that place would Interfere with
the low grade and Northern Central
lines of the Pennsylvania railroad;
that it has no ready-built trolley
lines or electrical power supplies,
and that In no other way Is It com
parable with the Mlddletown plot.
They showed him that there are 200
aoreß of very high ground adjoining
the fair site at Mlddletown and that
directly In the rear lies the fine site
of old Camp Meade, where 35,000
iren were housed in Spanish-Ameri
can War days.
They also brought out the advan
tages from a railroad standpoint of
the Mlddletown site and finally pro
posed that they be permitted to
make a resurvey of the whole sit
uation In company with a represent
ative of the War Department in an
effort to show that the Mlddletown
siie Is by far superior to the other.
On tile result of this survey depends
the location of the bl depots.
