Many Pig Clubs Started
in Dauphin County
Through the efforts of the Dauphin I
County Farm Bureau, eight pig clubs
have already been organized in this
section of the county. Among the
leading clubs are the ones in the
Lykens Valley, near Millersburg, and
Cenewago township, at Deodate. To
day John Motter. a farmer from near
Millersburg, will go with County
Agent Niesley to purchase eight or
nine pure-bred pigs to place In their
club of over twenty members.
Most of the communities in which
pig clubs are started do not have
pure-bred livestock, and through the
co-operation of the farmers' boys
and girls it has been possible to get
started a large number of pure-bred
pigs throughout the country. This
will not only mean increased pork and
fat, two things that the Government
is badly in need of, but also will en
courage the production of better live
stock in Dauphin county.

THE MAN'S STORE OF HARRISBURG
Certainties & Uncertainties
In these days a man wants to be sure he's right
before he goes ahead. There is too much at stake to go at it
blindly. The fellow who wants the best wants to get it at the
best store. He goes straight to that store for it. Why? Be
cause he knows he'll get what he goes for.
IJIkI ' In Wm. Strouse's Store every
thing you buy is a CERTAINTY as

good reason why we know what they

stand back of what we sell with both

Shreiner said to-day that state :al
aries were not attractive to many
men who could get better jobs else
where.
■Ever since the petitions for O'Neil
began to appear with less than the
required number of names Capitol
Hill lias been looking for men to be
dismissed. Whether known Penrose
men who did get petitions filled will
be "fired," too, no one seems to
know.
