J LAN TO GET
COUNTY "DRYS"
TO THE POLLS
Jsts Being Prepared to Insure
Big Vote at the
Primaries
As March 20 is the last day for
letting on the voters' lists, in town
ships, towns and boroughs outside
)f third class cities, the Anti-Saloon
League, under Dr. E. V. Claypool,
s now concentrating all its efforts
n the upper end of Dauphin County.
Personal appearance is not neces
sary when one does not live in a
hird class city. Notification to the
issessor is all that is needed to qual
ify for the primaries and general
?lectlon.
Dr. Claypool, in speaking of prep
arations for a sterling conflict with
:he booze forces observed that
Pennsylvania would have been clean
ed up twenty years ago if the inde
pendent voter had been willing to
soil his hands in the '.'mire of dirty
politics." The political machine, he
said, "seeks the man who can be
controlled and not the independent
,-oter. If the latter would only make
lis full strength felt
vould win handily.
Dr. Claypool laid special empha
lis upon the fact that many voters
ire each year disfranchised andi
•obbed of any part in the selection
>f candidates, because they have
'ailed to enroll in any political party
ind hence could not express a choice
is to the candidate.
Under such circumstances, Dr.
"Maypool added, it is perfectly easy
for political machines to nominate
their own stamp candidates forj
vhom the independent voter is then
isked to vote, if he votes at all.
Washing Won't Rid
Head Of Dandruff
The only sure way to get rid of
iandruff is to dissolve it, then you
iestroy it entirely. To do this, get
ibout four ounces of ordinary liquid
irvon; apply it at night when re
iring; use enough to moisten the
icalp and rub it, in gently with the
inger tips.
Do this tonight, and by morning.:
nost if not all, of your dandruff
vill be gone, and three or four more
ipplications will completely dissolve
ind entirely destroy every single i
lign and trace of it, no matter how
nuch dandruff you may have.
You will lind, too, that all itching
ind digging of the scalp will stop
it once, and your hair will be fluffy,
ustrous, glossy, silky and soft, and
ook and feel a hundred times
>etter.
You can get liquid arvon at any
Irug store. it is inexpensive and
lever fails to do the work.

SHELLEY WRITES
OF Y, M. C. A.
In a Letter to a Friend He
Says Association Service
Is Very Valuable
Another letter has arrived from
Carl B. Shelley, a Steelton boy In
France, addressed to John D. Nay
lor, 2121 South Second street. Steel
ton. The tremendous value of the
T. M. C. A. service is emphasized by
Shelley.
Apologizing for his long delay in
writing, Shelley tells that he has
pounded out eight this particular
day, giving the censor some job. "By
the number of letters received from
Steelton," he says, "we feel that we
have not been forgotten by the folks
back home. Letters are the one
thing that keep a soldier' in good
spirits. I believe that if we could
live on water that we would prefer
mail to grub."
"Last night about 9 o'clock we
had some excitement; Zeppelins
were reported overhead. We could
see and hear them and they did not
bother us. So we should worry."
Plenty of Recreation
"Believe me the Y. M. C. A. is a
wonderful thing. I do not believe the
people back can appreciate its
value to a soldier's life. There is
a hut about five miles from here and
we walk over very often. They al
ways have good speakers. Sometimes
we can buy American tobacco and
cigarets and they always have good
things to eat on sale. They have
a library, billiard room and places
where we can write., They furnish
us with all the paper arid envelopes.
The Y. M. C. A. deserves the un
stinted support of American's entire
population. The Red Cross is an
other wonderful institution, but un
less one has been wounded and
treated by them one cannot realize
its value. Keep up the good work at
home and we will try to do our part.
"It is too bad I cannot tell all
my adventures; we have had so
many, flirting with death, but so far
have come through. Next time,
maybe, we shall not be so lucky, but
why worry, as the French say. Vest
la guerre.' "
Ample Supply of Water
Being Pumped at Plant
Steelton to-day was getting its
normal supply of water. Slow sand
filters at the filter station have been
repaired and after midnight the
works was pumping its normal sup
ply. At 11 o'clock the lines of hose
from the Harrlsburg main was dis
connected and the borough depend
ed on its own supply for the first
time this week.
The slow sand filters were repair
| ed and will get better as the weath
er becomes warmer, in the opinion
of O. P. Baskin, superintendent of
j the Borough Water Department. The
, Citizen and Baldwin fire pumps
made remarkable records during the
shortage. The engines alternated in
pumping water from the Harrisburg
lines to the borough main. They
pumped continuously for twelve
hours.
EXAMINE REGISTRANTS
The Local Exemption Board phy

enty-five additional men in' the first

Palmer Asks Permission
to Sell Enemy Properties
By Associated Press
Washington. March 7.—Congress
was asked to-day by A. Mitchell
Palmer, alien property custodian, for
legislation empowering him to sell
any enemy property in the United
States within his discretion.
Such legislation attached to the ur
gent deficiency appropriation bill was
requested by Mr. Palmar before the
Senate Appropriations Committee In
supplementing President Wilson's re
cent request for authority to acquire
legal title to the German wharves
and property at Hoboken, N. J.
The Appropriations Committee ap
proved both proposed amendments
and ordered a favorable report for
their addition to the urgent deficien
cy bill in order to expedite action.

State Authorities Will Have

Wg—■7" , |T *— night. Each ma-
chine will have
two men, all expert mechanicians,
understanding the construction de
tails and the operating methods of
the machines and they will go on a
schedule to be arranged by the State
Department of Agriculture. The
orders for the first twenty-five ma
chines were telegraphed last night.
Six makes were ordered and some
of them may be delivered by Mon
day. In all probability the cars will
be mobilized here while the men to
have charge are being secured. Some
of these men have already been en
listed and for a day or so there
will be a state school of instruction
for tractor operators. By that time
the machines will be assembled and
will be shipped to points designated.
The general plan, as outlined by
Lieutenant-Governor McClain and
Secretary of Agriculture Patton is
to have the tractors sent out by
special arrangements with railroads
and the headquarters of each to be
at some place where repairs can
easily be made. The Department of
Agriculture has been swamped with
applications for tractor services in
plowing as the spring season is
nearly ready to open and a schedule
for each machine is being made up.
The total cost of operation, including
fuel, drivers and repairs, will be
worked out and a charge made
either per hour or per acre. The
tractors can do an immense amoivnt
of work and the Department lias
been offered the experience of men
who have operated them in Penn
sylvania. The work has been car
ried on extensively in several coun
ties, notably in the southeastern
section where there are scores of
tractors on farms.
In another month it is expected
to have the whole forty out at work
on farms of the state.
Big I .case Approved.—The Pub
lic Service Commission has approv
ed the assignment of the lease of
the Pittsburgh, Fort Wayne and Chi
cago, Erie and Pittsburgh, Pitts
burgh, Youngstown and Ashtabula
and Cleveland and Pittsburgh rail
roads, long held by the Pennsyl
vania Company, to the Pennsylvania
Railroad Company. The matter is
the largest of the kind ever acted
upon by the Commission. The Com
mission is considering the applica
tions for various changes in the pipe
lines of the Pure Oil Company,
which involves three corporations,
all chartered in different states.
To license Trucks—Steps to' pro
vide for a system of licensing mo
tor trucks which are being sent
across the state for Army use are to
The plan is to have a special license
provided as was done in the case
of the Army ambulances mobilized
at Allentown. Scores of trucks are
passing over the Lincoln highway
every day and more will start with
in a month.
Water Accounts —The Public Ser
vice Commission, has fixed March
21 as the date for a conference with
representatives of water companies
of the state for a conference on the
propoeed uniform method of keeping
accounts of guch companies. The
Commission, through its bureau of
accounts, submitted a proposed sys
tem which would make examina
tion easier to the companies at six
cities last December and hearings
were held in various places. The
meetings were productive of a num
ber of suggestions and criticisms
whic!< were used In revising tho
plan. The bureau will recommend
that the system be made effective
as of January 1 last, but that they
should not install the balance sheet,
income and surplus accounts until
January 1, 1919.
May Reduce Steers —The State
Department of Agriculture has
called attention to reports which are
coming to the Capitol from farmers
in Lancaster and other counties
where cattle are extensively raised
that they will be compelled to re
duce the number of steers fed next
spring unless steps are taken to
make the feeding more profitable.
Can't Sell It Here —"Pennsylvania
is not going to be made a dumping
ground for 1916 poultry and people
who have brought it into this state
will have to take it out again. If
they attempt to sell orders have
been given to agents the state to
prosecute them,'* said Dairy and
Food Commissioner James Foust in
a statement issued to-day on the
poultry investigations at Philadel
phia. . "We have discovered that
poultry which can not be legally sold
has been shipped into this state and
we have it located. I have asked
tho Attorney General's Department
to push the cases we bring and
James Scarlet may be retained to
prosecute them."

draft boards to check up draft reg
istrants granted deferred classifica
tion because of agricultural work on
the farms and his notice that drafted
men enjoying such classification
should resume farming when the
season opens were at instance of a
number of boards. Mr. Patton was
notified by officers of boards in
northern that men granted
deferred classification because of
farming had gone to industrial cen
ters or to work on railroads. "It is
essential that such persons go back
to the farm. The farmers need all
the labor they can get and if the
men granted deferred classification
do not go back to farms they ought
to bo put into class 1A without loss
of time," said Mr. Patton.

Company, Butler, who fell and
broke his leg while swinging on
some chains used to handle billets.
The company appealed on the
ground that the man was engaged
in "horse play," but the Board rules
"His conduct at most could amount
to no more than contributory negli
gence, which is no defense to a
claim for compensation." The Board
refused to rule that James T. Ward,
Windber, was dependent on earn
ings of a son killed in coal mines,
having found that he had money in
a bank and had subscribed to S3OO
of Liberty bonds. A new hearing

PERSONS OF AM, FAITHS
FRIENDS OF FATHER JOHNSON
That very enterprising organiza
ticn, the Hassett Club, calls atten
tion to the fact that the purse of
S4BO presented to Father T. B. John
son on Tuesday evening by little Miss
Sullivan at the great meeting in Ca
thedral Hall was contributed by
Father Johnson's friends In all' the
parishes, as well as by his non-
Catholic friends. It was this unus
ual tribute which moved Father
Johnson to speak so feelingly of his
ten years' work, his love for the
children and his sorrow at leaving it
all to take up work in Cornwall.
When the Hassett Club began to
collect money for the puurse it dis
covered that Father Johnson had a
vast nufnber of friends who were not
Catholics and many of these asked to
contribute. The loving cup which
was presented by Edward Sourbior
represented exclusively contributions*
by the Hasset basketball teams of
1917-18. They were beautifully en
graved with Father Johnson's name
and the names of the players.
