The grocers of Harrisburg have i greed to handle potatoes during that week on the narrow margin of ten cpnts per bushel. The price to the farmers will be ' 0 cents per bushel, delivered at Har risburg. Farmers who have pota loes on hnnd are given an excellent opportunity to dispose of them be fore they sprout too badly, which would result in their remaining on their hands.

Farmers who will sell their pota toes will do so subject to these i wles: 1. Potatoes shall be No. 1 grade, first-class potatoes. 2. Potatoes shall sold by weight, ixty pounds to the bushel. ".

FRIDAY tvENTNG* THE HUN OUTWITTED BY "PAT" O'BRIEN with a period, Ihe chat we began at three. And T felt verv unworthy when he rep'led simply tt-v.t unaf fectedly to my question about the lecture I supposed he was going to deliver In Toronto: "No—l'm going to attend a fu neral. You, see they are bringing Tommy O;klnson home to bury him. He was my pal over there. We were together for a long time— longer than most. A chap you know sits on your right at breakfast and at lunch there's u new pilot "heie —perhaps a new man on your left .it supper. When you keep seeing tew facts you know pretty soon some one else is going to see a new face where yours had been • • • I felt it wa3 my turn next the day before they got me." "Weren't you frightened?" I asked rather breathlessly. Then my eyes fell on the hero's hands —he was twiddling his thumbs like a frightened school-boy. "Of the Germans?" asked the hero a bit scornfully. Then his eyes followed mine to his hands and we had an ice-thawing laugh at the thought of how much more terrible then the Hunntsh "Archies," a few fusillades of question marks might seem. He Sees 'Km Coming Some of your brave adventurers are brave because they have no imagination. But Pat visualizes things—he sees them coming. ' He has a bit of that "seventh son of a seventh son" psychic quality that your blue-eyed, black-haired son of Erin often possesses. But we dwelt upon the blue eyes and black hair, a few lines to the rear. We are now thinking about that train to Toronto. "How splendid of you to go up to pay last honors to your friend." Said I, "I suppose you'll come back Sunday." "Oh no, I'll be gone three or four days. Tommy doesn't know I'm com ing to say good-by. I'm just doing that for myself—selfish like. But there is a youngster in one of the hospitals, a yound cadet; I taught him a bit about flying. Now he's sick, I'Jl have to give him a bit of cheering up, don't you think? And then there is his commission to see about. Poor kid. he's had a bad time. He needs his friends to stand by him." They tell appealing little talcs about the "chivalry of the air." I have seen it face to face—it is not tradition but fact. Pat O'Brien go ing to Toronto to pay la.sl honors to a pal he loved —Pat O'Brien going to cheer a sick cadet- —and still an other Pat O'Brien—the boy who of fered his youth, his health, his very life to put out the fiendish world bonfires Germany lighted. He doesn't put it that way—such a statement would sound like "Swank" to one who has been trained in Britain! He says he went over to get into the biggest* scrap in the world and to stand by the Allies because they were fighting against bad odds! There is still another Pat! Allow me to present him: "I didn't hate the Germans to start with. Of course I didn't like them or their methods, but hating doesn't make you fight very well. You see red when you hate and you can't see through the red to what you wftnt to do. I just disliked them at the start, let's say. I didn't hate them when I woke up in their hos pital and they probed the bullet that got me, out of my throat. When Hate Began "I began to hate them the day I sat in front of the hospital taking a sun bath and down-on-the-ground air-bath. There was a fight over head; two of our machines fell. ! saw them hit and I felt all the smile go out of me. Then they brought me a picture they had found in the pocket of one of the dead aviators. They brought me that picture be cause it was one of me—and of the n:un who fell. lie was my chum— my fr.<end Paul. They had got him: snapped him off all in a minute. I began to hate them then all riyht— you see it of course?" I saw it. And there was another tlvng to see: Pat O'Brien not bitter about it when "thev" i'That's what ho always calls the Hun) got iiim-- hating when his fr'etid was sr.ufted out by the v.iant German lile extinguisher. And there is Pat O'Brien for frou; llerce and yet gentle; fine and strong. "What a thing friendship is; How it gives the heart And soul a stir-up" Tile Kind of Mini lit; Is | That Pat O'Brien's heart and soul j are stirred and keyed up, I will | warrant. 1 took a little mental in ventory of him and this is the way | it reads: I If "Smiling Pat'' O'Brien were i your son lie would adore you. if he were your pal lie would give you loyal friendship to the (it-five —and beyond. If he tvere your sweetheart how he'd flirt & bit With the other girls I'm thlnklngl. But foi' mi that he'd give you ft mighty understanding devotion and a great deal of love more rent and thrilling than the "reel" kind that thrills you fo when you see your pictured ideal bestowing It on the lady In the romance, I am prepared to prove every statement—but the last one I A wonderful mother has Pat —he told niu himself. It wasn't the sort of "mother stuff" they put Into a popular souk to make It sell In edi tions ut it hundred thousand; It was real, roally-truly-for-sure boyish de votler. to u line woman. "There Is a letter here I wish to show you. If I were properly senti mental I'd have It in my pocket. It's In my mind, though, so I'll tell It to you. It's the letter I got from my mother the day before I fell. "I have three brothers—a lad In Fehool, another Just under the draft age ond another just over It.

That was Indicated at a meeting at noon to-day of Henderson Gil bert, A. S. Patterson, J. C. Jeasup and other Liberty Loan workers. The demand for tickets has been tre irendous. The Rev. Dr. Robert Bagnell will bo another speaker Monday night. Dr. Eagnell will require no introduction to Ilarrlsburg. Prior to this meeting in the audi torium O'Brien will speak at a num ber of outside meetings held in vari ous parts of the city, to be held be tween 4 and 6 o'clock. The places will be announced later. When Lieutenant O'Brien, an Amer ican in the Royal Flying Corps, was in active service, before he was taken prisoner, the aviators used to say that they did not want to fall within the German lines, because "the war bread was bad in Ger many." And when, after his arduous escape from a'German prison camp, he reached a place where he could telegraph his comrades of his safe ty. he wired: "War bread bad, so 1 crime home." That gay spirit Is typ ical of the whole story, "Outwitting the Hun," and of Lieutenant O'Brien himself. His straightaway narrative is a finp and thrilling thing to read.- Not only does he describe his escape from a fast-moving train and the subsequent nerve-racking days of danger and privation that were occu pied in his slow passage out of the enemy's country, but he tells a good deal of the prison camp itself, and. briore his capture, of his work as a flier. After lie has told of digging his way under tile electrified wire fence that cut off Belgium from the r.ninvaded world, he sums up the ex perience of his escape: "It was the 19th of November, 1917, when 1 got through the wires. I had made my leap from the train on September 9. Altogether, there fore, just seventy-two days had eiapsed since I escaped from the Huns. If I live to be as old as Me thuselah, I never expect to live through another seventy-two days so crammed full of incident and hazard and lucky escapes." PKNN STATE'S SENIOR CLASS TO BUY LIBERTY BONDS The senior class at the Pennsyl vania State College is going to' buy about $1,500 wortl) of Liberty Loan bonds instead of spending the money for a class memorial to ornament the campus. This decision was made to-day at a meeting of the graduat ipg class. For the last twenty years, each out-going class has given its rebate from the college damage fund for the purpose of leaving a substantial memento. The boys of 1918 de cided the government needed the money to fight- Germany more than the campus needed an imposing limestone gateway. OBJECTIONS ARE NOT SUSTAINED | Judge Kunkel Dismisses Suit Against Town Meeting Candidate , "TTT^ I, W* Ruling that the JLI ) r 111 Town Meeting party in Phllailel for office who ure al* district there- President Judge j ueoige Kunkel, of the Dauphin i county court, to-day dismissed ob jections to the nomination petition of George J. C'amp'bell, a candidate for Representative from the Six teenth legislative district in Philadel phia. The objections to Campbell's peti tion for nomination were made by the pre-emptors of the Town Meet ing party in the Sixteenth district. The case was argued last Thursday before Judge Kunkel. The contention was raised that the Town Meeting party hud no right to make nomina tions for anyone for a state office, and the right of the local tfourt to set aside the nomination petition in the case was questioned also. In his opinion Judge Kunkel | quotes the act of July 12, 1913, | which provides in mandatory lan | gufige under what conditions a nom | ination petition shall be refused or | set aside. The objections in the | Campbell case are not found among the reasons given in the act, the court continues. I Judge Kunkel, however, goes into J the other facts in the case in the I controversy over the meaning of the l clause "ail political districts within {the county." The Town Meeting party i having fulfilled the requirements to j become a party there has acquired I the right to nominate in accordance ; with the provisions of an act of 1913, j all its candidates for office in that ; county and in all political districts : within that county and of which the j county forms a part. The court rules j that this gives the right to make a ! nomination in a representative sena torial or congressional district with in the county in which the party is | established or of which the county . is a part, but prevents any nomina tion for which electors of the state ; at large vote. ! .Petitions Filed—Nominating pcti- A Dead Stomach Of What Use Is It? i Thousands? yes hundreds of thou : sands of peoplo throughout America ] are taking the slow death treatment I daily. j They are murdering their own , stomach, the best friend they have, and in their sublime ignorance they [think they are putting aside the lawlj j of nature.
