2 TIMELY NEWS OF CENTRAL PENNSYLVANIA AND CITY'S SUBURBS MUSKRAT WORKS HARD FOR DRINK Bores Holes Through 28-Inch Ice on Lake Roycr, Pen Mar Waynesboro, Pa.. Feb. 28.—They mast manufacture something thicker and stronger than twenty-elght-lnch Ic# to keep muskrat from getting a drink. This was demonstrated at Lok Royer, near fen Mar, during the hard January and February frewe, when ice that thick froze on" the upper lake (the lower one being dry). u Muskrats Infest that region In great droves and they have their ' cubbyholes In the marshy soil along the banks of the lake. Here they loaf and drowse the long winter days and nights away, except when they go out for forage or for a drink. Usually In the neighborhood of streams there are always some clear places In the Ice where they can < rawl up to and get their drink, but this winter every drop of water was frozen to the ground all about and on the lake there was a solid mass of twe.nty-eight Inches. Tt would puzzle a man to bore down through that amount of ada mant and make a lfole. but the task was manifestly not of surpassing difficulty for the rodent. He bored down through the twenty-eight inches of crystal and got his drink. Xot only one hole did he drill, but a number of them. Night after night they would freeze shut again, but the boring machine was on the ,loh early next morning and thus some half-dozen good wells, or ] drinking fountains, were kept, open | in the ice on the lake.

READY FOR LOAN DRIVE Advisory Committee Includes Editors and Bankers From All Parts of District Gettysburg-, Pa., Feb. 28.—Adams county is to be thoroughly organized for the drive for the third Liberty Loan. An advisory committee has been appointed, which includes every newspaper editor in the county, a | representative from each one of the ; banking institutions, as well as many of the businessmen in sections where lno bank is established and out [ through the rural communities. A I system will be developed which will take in practically every person In the county when the time comes for making the canvass for the bonds. During the other loans the county did not come quite up to its appor tionment, due perhaps to the fact that a complete canvass was not made. In this one it is planned that no one shall bo missed. As the time for the drive approaches, a captain from each election district will be appointed, and he in turn will ap point a number of helpers. In this way it is thought possible to make a house-to-house canvass, thereby reaching many people who were not solicited in the othe-r two drives. As a preliminary to this plan, the "four minute men" are busy, and each week a number of them are sent out to make speeches, and it is hoped that the entire county will be cov ered by these men in the interest of the Thrift Stamps and the War Sav ing Stamps before the drive for the Liberty t>onds is started.
