STEELTON
COAL ARRIVES
IN BIG LOTS
Shipments This Month More
Than During Entire Sum
mer, Dealers Say
Arrival of targe shipments of ooal
In the borough during the month of
August relieved the local situation
to a great extent, enabling dealers
to All a large number of the orders
on file since April.
Beveral dealers in tho borough re
ported this morning that their
were full of coal and Beveral ship
ments in transit would likely arrive
next week. Although hampered to
some extent by tho shortage of
labor, the dealers are gottlng a
large amount of coal delivered and
by tho, latter part of next week the
dealers hope to -be in a position to 1
take care of the shipments that are
likely to krrive during the month of
September. 1
Dctweiler Brothers were greatly
hampered in their delivery of coal
this week on account of being un
ablo to use an electric wagon loador
duo to tho power being shut off.
Several additional men are needed
to do the work which this loader
does when in operation*
Because of the shortage of labor
it was impossible to get the men
and consequently this hampered the
deliveries to a great extent.
During the month of August deal
! ers claim there was as much coal
I shipped into the borough as during
the whole summer. The shipments
were exceptionally large and kept
arriving in a continuous stream.
Dealers are now very optimistic and
are of the opinion that Steelton will
have little trouble with a coal short
age during the coming winter.

ment has not made an arrest of any
bootleggers, Chief Grove announced
this morning. In the opinion of the
police official the announcement of
the arrest of this woman evidently
frightened other bootleggers and pa
trolmen in their nightly 'reports
state that-the side streets and aven
ues where the bootleggers usually
operated are now clear. Although
several supposed bootleggers are
under the surveilance of the depart
ment sufficient evidence is lacking to
warrant their arrest.

FOR CAMP LIFE
Rally in Courthouse to Hear
Talks by Prominent
Men
Forty drafted men from the Pax
tang Board No. 2, Dauphin county
draft district, were given some
straight from the shoulder talk and
encouraged to unburden their minds
of problems before they leave for
Camp Lee on Monday at a meeting
held in Court Room No. 2 this morn
ing under the Joint auspices of the
committee of Instruction of Harris
burg City Board No, 1, and the Har
risburg Reserves, The meeting was
originally planned for Harrisburg No.
1. Some of whose boys were on
band, and when it was learned that
tho Paxtang rangers of this later
generation were at their headquar
ters, Chairman Arthur H. Bailey was
Invited to have his contingent come
around. They came around in mili
tary style with their energetic chair
man at their head and were the whole
show.
Reserve* Aid Men
The meeting was the first of series
to be held for the instruction of the
men of draft age In the city. The
Harrisburg Reserves have been drill
ing the draftees of the upper end of
the county, while the Steelton Re
serves are instructing men of their
district. It is planned to have other
meetings and to give the young men
the benefit of experience of men who
have been in camps, medical men, Y.
M. C. A. workers, practical insurance
men and others so that the way may
be eased and the boys will go with
a knowledge of what things are like
and so that in the language of a cor
poral who is just home "They won't
be scared stiff, but find they are go
ing to be comrades of some of the
finest men in the world."
Major Henry M. Stine presided at
the meeting and gave the boys a fine
talk on what he had found at camp
and then invited questions. He got
them. It was a great opportunity
for the boys and they went to it.
After the quiz ended Dr. B. F. Royer,
acting state commissioner of health,
delivered a talk that was very frank,
but that was what the boys wanted
in regard to health and morality.
Booze and bad women they were toid
to avoid.
Wholesome Advice
Flavel L. Wright, insurance man,
gave the prospective soldiers some
facts concerning soldiers' insurance.
They were told that those insurance
policies, issued before April 1, 1917,
were good £ynd no additional pre
miums would be reqquired on them.
The government will carry these poli
cies for the men if necessary and the
soldiers so desire, Wright ttold the
youths.
