give their energy and money to the
winning of the war, It la our fixed
purpose to ask no service that will
lessen the productive efficiency of
our people; and
"WHEKEAS, Hon. J. Denny
O'Nell, Highway Commissioner of
Pennsylvania, has already with my
approval arranged to turn the forces
from the highways to the farms to
help grow food for our Army and
Navy and for our Allies, ,thus evi
dencing a praiseworthy and patriotic
purpose to aid the farmers of the
state.
| "NOW, THEREFORE. I, Martin
G. Brumbaugh, Governor of the
Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, do
hereby announce that no Good Roads
Day will be observed in Pennsyl
vania this year and instead thereof I
call upon and urge all our people to
go to the soil and in every way that
wise counsel, honest toll or trans
portation of workers can do so, help
increase the output of foodstuffs. It
is a most vital and patriotic duty.
It is to be regretted that our laws
do not give me power to collect all
loafers—rich and poor alike—and
compel them for denned periods to
work for the nation in this crisis.
Let all men and women and youths
join heartily in aiding our farmers,
in planting war gardens, in econo
mizing food supplies and In giving
loyal and steadfast support to ev
ery need of our country in its day
of struggle for democracy, decency
and righteousness."
State Plants Trees —The most ex
tensive reforestation enterprise ever
attempted by the State Department
of Forestry is now in full swing ac->
cording to State Commissioner Rob
ert S. Oonklln, who says that if the
weather continues suitable over 7,-
000,000 young trees, all raised in
state nurseries, will be planted by
state workmen alone. Fully 2,000,-
000 more are being planted on cor
poration and private land near state
reserves.
The reforestation work was under
taken early in the month, but be
cause of shortage of labor, trans
portation and weather conditions
operations were held back more or
less until last week. The men are
now working in Union, Lycoming,
Tioga, Potter and other central coun
ties and the trees are shipped from
the state nurseries by the carloads.
The rains this month have pre
vented the usual outbreak of spring
forest firts.
To Sit Thursday—The State Com
pensation Board* is scheduled to sit
at Philadelphia Thursday to hear
the application of A. Mitchell Pal
mer, custodian of alien property, to
reopen the claims in behalf of alien
dependants of men of countries at
war killed in Pennsylvania indus
tries. It is expected that there will
be a strenuous contest before the
Board as insurance carriers will op
pose the proposition which means
setting aside of many thousands of
dollars until the close of the war.
Nearly All In—The last of the
units of the new Reserve Militia
will be mustered into the service
within the next ten days and ship
ments of arms and equipments have
been made to practically all of the
organizations now mustered. The
rifle practice season is to start next
month.
Fertilizer Here—The. United States
Department of Agriculture has sent
word here that the cargo of nitrate
of soda allotted to the farmers of
Pennsylvania, has arrived at Nor
folk, Va., and Is being The
nitrate of soda was secured by the
United States Department of Agri
culture and will be apporlioned
throughout Pennsylvania according
to the applications made some time
ago by the farmers to the county
farm bureau agents. The nitrate is
being sold at cost price by the gov
ernment as. a stimulus for greater
crop nroduction this season. Farmers
have been anxiously awaiting word
concerning shipment but they are
now assured that consignments will
be made within the next few days.
Want More Wages.—Whether or
not the Public Service Commission
has any jurisdiction over a labor or
ganization is the question that arises
over the refusal of the employes of
the Shamokin and Mount Carmel
Transit Company-to issue refund cou
pons to passengers paying a six-cent
fare, 'say Shamokin people. The com
mission Saturday directed the trol
ley company to issue the refund cou
pons in compliance with a previous
order. The trolley men have for the
second time in two months refused to
obey the company's order and hence
the company has again asked for in
structions. The trolley men are
unionized and declare the Public
Service Commission has no jurisdic
tion over them. They demand more
wages for handling the coupons.
"To Proclaim Holiday. Governor
Brumbaugh will issue a proclamation
late to-day designing Friday as Lib
erty Day in accordance with the sug
gestion of the federal officials at
Washington.
CONCH Go Over.—The Public Service
