Pitcairn and Sunbury did not show up and lost by forfeit. Harrisburg was second with a total of 222 targets: and Catawissa iuad third with 180. L*>cal shoot ers who have been prominent in pre vious events were not present. It was the smallest field of shooters that lias ever turned out at a rail road shoot in this city. It was said that war business prevented the men from getting away from work. Victors to Meet Camden Olean's victory gives the North western division shooters the right to meet Camden's team in the final match. It will be held in llarris burg on April 13.

Efforts 1 to surpass former events are being; made. There will be an exceptionally j large exhibit of cattle and poultry, i TO PLOW WAR GARDENS TOMORROW [Continued from First rage.] AVatts will pilot one of these over a j Bellevue war garden. You want to take a good look j when General Watts unleashes this llotilla of Cleveland caterpillars. And watch your step, too, for they speed along at eight miles an hour, shoot over ditches, coal piles, brick yards and wade the Susquehanna. He can turn 'em on a ten-cent piece and, in line, they are so human as to da everything but laugh. The idea is to give Harrisburg an other record for duty and loyalty to I.'ncle Sam. War gardening last year was hampered in many ways. But the Chamber of Commerce is sure go ing over the top this spring. All thanks arc due to the Cleveland Tractor Company, the Emerson- Hrantingham Company and the In ternational Harvester folks. They have given freely to grow in Har risburg the finest war gardens that evor bloomed, and just at the psy chological moment, for here is com ing (hat extra hour in the afternoon When the amateur farmer can get away from business and dive into the garden. Daylight Saving to Aid "This extra hour means thirty per cent, more product," estimates Gen et al Watts. "Harrisburg from 5 to S every afternoon ought to be one huge farm. year the Chamber of t'ommerce plowed 530 lots and I had in my charge 600 for the school chil dren. From the tirst the total value iu produce was $7,800 and from the school lots $2,200. There were in all t v enty-seven acres cultivated, and this year we have forty for the Cham ber of Commerce patrons, while the school lots will be somewhat in creased. I would like to have it an nounced tight now that if any one in Harrisburg has some ground that he will give for this patriotic purpose, the Chamber of- Commerce will be mighty gad to hear from him. Let him communicate immediately with their office." System Is the catchword for this year's war garden activity. There will be no hitch in any feature. Now that the caterpillar artillery hag ar rived, the plowing will be. started im mediately, and so swift are these up to-date clodbusters that the job will be finished in a week. Wben and Ilow to Plant Next comes the planting, and for seeds the individual must depend on himself. The Chamber of Com merce has about tifty bushels of seed potatoes to sell at cost, but that is all. fjeneral Watts, however, has compounded a pamphlet, concise and perfect, which tells one what, when and how to plant, free for all. He will follow this with instructions for the assassinating of every kind of p<st except a live Hun. As it ap pears from tests made recently, the coal oil emulsion is a sure killer of the potato louse, which was so dis astrous last season. Bordean mixture is another demon for the germ and crawler; moreover, it is nutritious for the plant. The better to Tieep every one In formed right up to date, six com missioners will be on the job all the time to Rive personal advice and mig rations at the three big plants. Bellevue.

The military situation has reached a state of perfected preparedness. Last niglit the Selyukai (Constitu tional) party, the largest In the Diet, held a conference and reaffirmed its position taken at a recent meeting in opposition to Immediate mobili zation.

The Asahi Shim bun and the Yorodza Choho say they are unable to understand Amer ica's "excessive generosity" toward Russia, by now giving supplies to Germany and imperiling the stores In Vladivostok. Suspicions in regan! to Japan weaken tho Allies, they as sert, adding that it is Japan's duty to work in the interests of tho peace of humanity by assisting to crush Germany.
