TWO SERGEANTS
WIN COMMISSIONS
Young and Hoagland lo Be
Made First Lieutenants in
4
Quartermasters Corps
The local United States recruiUng
of lice at 325 Market street, will lose
its two "top" sergeants probably
! during this week, according to in-
I formation received troni Lieutenant
I Robert W. Lesher, commanding the
j Harrisburg recruiting party, this
morning. The inen are momenta
rily expecting the arrival of com
mission!! vesting them with ilrst lieu
tenancies in the Quartermasters'
Corps.
The two sergeants are Sergeant
Richard A. Young and Sergeant El
liott Hoagland. Sergeant Young is
chief clerk at the recruiting oflice.
i He has been with the party five
| versa. Sergeant Hoagland has charge
of the physical examination depart
ment and has heen stationed here
for three years. They are right-hand
men to Lieutenant Lesher, and their
promotions will deal a blow to the
excellent organization at the local
recruiting station.
Sergeant Young and Sergeant
Hoagland both resigned second lieu
tenancies to enter the recruiting
service, at which they felt they could
best serve their country. Young has
seen eleven years' ser\ ice in the Ar
tillery, and Hoagland had been a
cavalryman for seventeen years prior
to his entrance into the recruiting
service. He was with the Eleventh
Cavalry at Fort Oglethorjife before
he came to Harrisburg. '
Ready to Move
The sergeants made a flying trip
to Washington, where they conferred
M'ith War Department officials, and
were informed to hold themselves in
instant readiness to,take charge of
their new commands. They do not
jet know to what plnce they will be
assigned for duty.
When the two top sergeants at the
recruiting oflice leave the recruiting
party will feel the loss keenly. Lieu
tenant Lesher said. Lieutenant
1 homas P. Moran, formerly a ser
geant at the recruiting station, left
here only a few weeks ago follow
ing the receipt of a commission.
It is likely that recruiting meth
ods will suffer a radical change fol
lowing the departure of the two top
sergeants. In addition to losing his
two best men. Lieutenant Lesher has
been handicapped by the recent
ruling that the aviation section has
been closed to volunteers. It was
into this service that the lieutenant's
part" enlisted most of its recruits.
The campaign to enlist men will
have to be more stringent, and the
lieutenant announced plans to-day
that are hoped to secure the neces
sary enlistments.
Within ,a short time. Lieutenant
Lesher said this morning, it is very
likely that the entire twenty-two
counties comprising the Harrisburg
district will be thoroughly copibed
by two '"flying squadrons", who will
conduct the most strenuous drive
yet launched to secure recruits for
the various branches of the service.
The War Department, Lieutenant
Lesher said, will be asked to fur
nish two automobiles, and during
the season when the roads are fine
the flying squadrons, composed of
former newspapermen, public speak
ers. publicity men and the recruit- j
| ing artist, will tour the counties.

is padded to prevent scratching. Berths have been included in the
arrangement, for the men who will driTe the van. The lirst trip was

morrow a load will be taken to Pittsburgh. .
BOYS RUSHED TO
FIELDS TO HELP
BRING IN CORN
Tech High Grants Needed
Farm Workers Leave
For Patriotic Service
- j The State of Pennsylvania is con
t • fldent that it will have 10,000 boys
, I working on farms this summer, and
: i thus solve in a great measure the
3 1 problem of labor shortage. Harris
■ | burg ltsolf is foremost in the activity,
- but the High school superintendents
- in Dauphin county, according to
' I state oincials. have not been quick
to respond. Their tardiness will be
1 ' only a trifling obstacle, however, for
■ 1 the machinery of the commonwealth
3 is grinding swiftly and sure.
In this city boys are enrolling at
- a lively rate to-day at Central Iligli,
J Technical High, Steelton High and
■ the Harrisburg Academy. Any and
? every one who enrolls may have the
' benefit of being sent to State Colfege
r for a two weeks' preliminary traln
- ing at the expense of the state. Five
I hundred boys at a time are to be in
structed there, the first squad now
t being en route to the Institution.
The immense proportions of this
• move, the United States Boys' Work
' ing Reserves, are only beginning to
' be understood by the bulk of Ameri
■ cans. In this state the move was put
' under way last year when twenty
" four boys were camped near Bigler
' ville, in Adams county and about the
' same number at Arendtsville. Camp
' life appeals to the boy far more than
living at the home of the farmer.
Now that the State Public Safety
' Committee has advanced $30,000 for
I I this cause, the prospects are for
1 ! many camps all over the state.
i i To Be Trained
'! As explained to-day by an official
■ of the Bureau of Vocational Educa
> tion, speaking for its chief, L. H.
' Dennis, a State College expert will
' be put in charge as leader of each
' camp. Tents are furnished by the
• state, sleeping tepts, cook's tent,
: mess tent. The lander attends to
distributing the help. If one boy is
not satisfactory the farmer has the
opportunity of trying another. The
soil soldiers will board themselves
at their camps. The most extensive
one of these camps last year was
1 located at Stoneborough, near Pitts
-1 burgh, where seventy boys did gal
-1 lant work in helping harvest the
strawberry crop. There were also
; I three big camps in Chester county.
I j The Harrisburg School Board has
I I responded with alacrity to the .pa
i friotie demand with a donation of
i 51,500 to pay expenses for the tute
j lage at State College and the first
squad of Harrisburg boys will star!
j for there shortly. All public schools
1 have made arrangements so thai
boys may get away for the planting
(season and then return for schooling
I in July and August, only to go bach
; to the farm for harvest time, in
' September and October.

Railroad Hand Has Exciting
Battle With Blacksnakes
Dauphin, Pa.. March 21. —Charles
A. Garman, a member of the track
repair crew on the Pennsylvania
Railroad, fought a battle yesterday
with two blacksnakes above the rail
road cut at Red Hill, dispatching
them finally with a brush hook. One
of the reptiles was five feet in length
and the other four feet, six inches.
Mr. Garman was sent to the top of
the cut to clear away a thick growth
of underbrush, and the second swing
of his brush hook uncovered the
snakes sunning themselves on a flat
rock. They uncoiled and slid, hiss
ing along the ground toward him.
There was no retreat, as the edge
of the cut with a ten-foot drop to the
tracks beneath, was behind him. As
the snakes approached, Garman
swung his hook, catching the smaller
one and cutting it in half. He leaped
sidewise. avoiding the other reptile.
It turned and followed him. Gar
man struck again and his second
blow stunned and momentarily
stopped tl\e snake's advance. It re
quired a half dozen blows, however,
to kill it. As an anticlimax, Garman
dropped both bodies over the edge
of the cut and upon the track crew
below. The men scattered wildly un
til they discovered both snakes were
dead.
