Considerable difficulty has been
experienced in getting the trees from
the state's nurseries, because of the
transportation conditions and the
planting work is held back by
ground conditions. Hundreds of
acres on state reserves are tq be re
planted with seedling trees and in
conjunction with it extensive plant
ing has been started by corporations
holding large tracts. The planting
will be in the tracts on the Susque

To Meet MeAdoo.—ll is probable
that the situation In regard to com
plaints against grade crossings in
Pennsylvania, will be taken up with
W. G. MeAdoo, director gefteral of
the railroads, -by the Public Service
Commisilon, as the result of the re
quest of the director general that no
expenditures for changes be made
unless Imperative. There are a
number of complaints made against
grade crossings, made by the State
Highway Department, which will be
studied and a report made on them.
The Seed Corn—Demands for seed
corn from farmers and "war gar
deners" of the state have been so
numerous that the State Bureau, of
Markets will continue its plan of
[ buying and selling at cost. Thou
sands of bushels have been bought
through this state agency in the last
six months and It wllT continue its
work, especially as there seems to
be a dearth in the northern tier.
Members of the State Commission of
Agriculture have been asked to
make reports on the seed corn sit
uation in their localities.
Ronds Called—A meeting of the
State Industrial Board has been
called for Philadelphia on April 16,
to hear reports on some of the in
dustrial cudetf* which are being pre
pared.
Fish Code llll^—Arrests of men
for fishing ahead of the-'trout sea
son, which docs not begin until
April 18, have developed -the fact
that the fishermen have in most
cases had more than the law allows
for a catch even in season. The new
limit is twenty-five, oiififteen less
than before the fish code was en
acted.
Killing in Erie Case—The Public
Service Commission has dismissed
the petition of tha New York Cen
tral Railroad that certain work on
gra'de crossing elimination in Erie
city be indefinitely postponed be
cause of the war, but in an opinion
by Chairman Ainey calls attention to
the fact that some construction has
already been undertaken'on two
streets and that to stop work now
without reopening the streets would
place a burden upon the public and
the business of the city which they
should not be called upon to bear.
"We consider,'' says the opinion,
"that it would cost almost as much
to back up as go ahead." In regard
to work on other streets the conn
mission suggests that in view of the
fact that no work has been done and
that they had been complained of
as dangerous that the city and the
railroad company enter into an
agreement to postpone any work
until the end of the war.
Damage in South—Further reports
received by the State Department of
Agriculture from rural districts in
dicate that damage in plum, cherry
and apricot trees in southern coun
tries, where blossoms had opened,
will be extensive because of.the snow
storm. The peach and apple or
chards do not seem to have been
rtiuch affected.
Needed.—An appeal was
made to the State Department of
Health to-day by Surgeon-General
Gorgas for the aid of the state in
securing additional medical officers
for the United States Army. The
letter asked Dr. B. F. Royer, the
Acting Commissioner of Health, to
bring to the attention of the profes
sion at large the "necessity for aa-
ditionul volunteers" because as "the
war progresses the need becomes
more and more apparent." The let
ter also says that "so far the United
States has been involved only In the
preparatory phase of this war" and
that it is now about to enter upon
the fighting stage. It is set forth
that 15,000 medical officers will be
needed for the Army in France alone
and that there are now on duty in
the Medical Reserve only 15,174 offi
cers. General Gorgas closes, "I can
not emphasize too strongly the su
preme demand for medical officers."

I We've Set a Pace 7
I And Are Keeping It I
i The day we began business this "Live I
Store" sprang into the lead and ever since has been
setting the pace in men's wear as "big operators" for extensive
merchandising throughout Central Pennsylvania.
1 The opening of Doutrichs signalled a new era of I
retailing an era that looked at and took the buyer's point of view
—"not the seller's." Our inspiration THEN, and NOW is to do business on a buyer's
basis. We ask ourselves what would we demand of a store where we bought
clothes and furnishing for ourselves and our sons Our answers and conclusions
are strongly evident in DOUTRICHS to-day.
A store where you can be sure of de
pendable quality, large stocks and greater variety to
choose from a store where you can buy what you want instead
than what they have to sell a store that depends on a small
profit on its volume of sales rather than a large profit on few
This puts us in a position for-greater value giving. A store where
only quality merchandise is sold and when sold is backed up and
guaranteed to deliver satisfaction or money refunded, in other
words, a store that is absolutely "Always Reliable." '
It's fair to assume that every man who buys, clothes
wants good clothes no matter what price he pays for a suit You
want good value for your money That's the only business-like way to look at it
and you'll always get it here. • • • _ A
