CHANCE ON FARMS Boy Scouts to Urge Harris burgers to Give Part Time to Agriculture There is great talk of a scarcity of farm labor but R. C. Haldeman, who owns and operates a six-hun dred acre farm just over the river from the city of Harrisburg. has not worried. Mr. Haldeman took time by the forelock, both last year and this season, and is now grinning at the frantic efforts of other less imaginative and less far-seeing farmers. The Haldeman farm employs seven permanent farm hands, who plant and care for the major part of the work on the estate. Last sum mer Mr. Haldeman made arrange ments with six men of Harrisburg to spend their vacations on his place during his harvest season and to help get in the hay, wheat and oats. These men were not hardened to the la borious farm work but were quite qualified to do the tasks assigned to them. They returned to their regular work at the end of their vacations brown and healthy and instead of a deficit in pocket after the regular vacation with more money than when the vacation whistle blew. Mr. Haldeman, by his foresight, made certain that his crops were un der cover and readv for any use the government could put them to, eith er for civilian or military. This season, as last year, the Haldeman farm will be insured a successful harvest, for six men have again been , secured to spend their vacations in patriotic service, and at the same time-secure an opportun ity to enjoy a healthy change of work at the market price for emer gence farm labor. The Public Safety Committee of Pennsylvania has at the present time a plan in process of development whereby many farmers may obtain this same sort of service, which has proved so beneficial to the Halde man farm. In this county a survey of vacation periods and such other spare time as may be volunteered by the citizens of Harrisburg and vicin ity, is about to be conducted by the Boy Scouts of America, acting un der the direction of the Public Safety Committtee and the County Farm Labor Bureau. The county farm manager will have at his office a list of men and dates when they will be available. On Monday next the khaki-clad Scouts will start on their census taking task at the request of the United States Public Service Reserve. The Scouts will visit stores, factories and offices. They will ask from em ployers the release for one day each week such men as m&f be spared and who will agree to accept an emergency call to farm service. The, signature of both employer and the man who will help with this pa triotic service must be secured to make sure of the required data. The cards on which this data is taken will then be presented to the county manager for farm labor and by him so tabulated as to give the best re sults to both farmers and patriotic volunteer helpers. In many cases the volunteer will return home each evening, going to and from the farms in cars secured through the efforts of the county manager of farm labor. Fifty-six men in Lykens have al ready volunteered for this type of service under the chairmanship of George Parfet. Harrisburg will have an opportunity to tell next week what it will do in the same service under the United States Public Serv ice Reserve. British Press Warning Against Extravagance By Associated Press London, June 19.—A note of warn ing against increased war expendi tures Is sounded by the Dally Chron icle and the Daily News, commenting on the statements made by Andrew Bonar Law, Chancellor of the Ex chequer, in moving a vote of credit in the House of Commons yesterday. Other papers do not question the huge outlay. "We are getting our money's worth," says the Dally Ex press. It adds that the Allies "look forward to another three months of insistent anxiety." The Daily News says: "The sinister fact is the indiffer ence that prevails on the subject. The treasury long since ceased to ex ercise control; Parliament offers nothing with which to dam the tide. The government's idea of 'getting on with the war' does not include any considerations of economy . . . and thre is no check on the torrents of waste in the departments them selves." While stating that the cost of all materials is higher, the Chronicle charges the government with being "mulcted," and blames "the continu ing Inadequacy of our financial con trol." The general comment of the morn ing newspapers is to the effect that the most encouraging part of the speech delivered by the Chancellor concerned the endless stream of Americans to the front.

THIRD ST. ij: SCOUTS IN NEED OF EXECUTIVES Big Drive to Get Real, Active Leaders Is Soon to Begin Plans for a drive for scoutmasters to lead Boy Scout troops were made public this morning by the local scout executive, J. Eredrik Virgin, and the field scout executive, V. I-. Huntsberger. "It's going to be a real, smashing Hindenburg drive," Mr. Huntsberger said. "We are lay ing plans to open the drive in the near future." The necessity for the drive Is ap parent. The great need has been caused by the calling of many scout masters to service with the colors. In the twenty-two troops of tlio Harrlsburg district, nine officials have already been called for serv ice. A number of Harrisburg's prom inent organizations will be allied with the local Scout Council in the carrying or. of the drive. The goal will be at least fifty more scout masters. I Street demonstrations of wigwag- King, first aid and other Scout work and handiwork of Scouts with war garden products in the windows of local stores, will bring the campaign before the men it is desirable to reach, Scout officials say. Edward Manser, Ross H. Swopo and "William N. Erantz constitute the committee in charge of the scout masters campaign. It will be brought before men employed in industries not essential to the winning of the war. £ In harmony with the request of President Woodrow Wilson, the To cal scouts are arranging to search the surrounding country for black walnut groves. This valuable wood is used for the manufacture of gun. stocks.

There in the shadow of old Can necticut Hall with its surrounding memorials decorated with dark green wreaths which had been placed upon them by the soldiers and sailors of Yale yesterday the mem bers of the senior class held their class day exercises and bade their last intimate good-by to old Eli.
