Washington, Feb. 19. —A confi

lonths ago on the big meat packers
as made public by flte Food AU

In the report, in response to a

of various factors which need cor-

MOTORCYCLE MEN
AT PENN-HARRIS
J Big Sales Conference of Fac
tory Men and Central
Penna. Dealers
(By A. I*. AYIEB>
Upwards of a score of Central
Pennsylvania Harley-Davidson deal
ers and two representatives of the
! Ilarley-Davidson factory, E. J. Muel
' ler, and F. W. Steirhoft, met in one
lof the most enthusiastic sales con
! ferences ever held in this city, Mon-
I day and yesterday in the Penn-Har
iris.
These sales conferences are a reg-
J ular part of the Harley-Davidson
; service which is extended to all its
! dealers. They are in charge of the
i regular men fro mtho factory, in
i the <?ase of Harrisburg, E. J. Mueller,
i-who is in charge is ussistunt Salcs
-1 manager of the Harley-Davidson Co.
i It affords the dealer the opportunity
j of getting the latest sales plans from
| the factory as well as enabling them
'to learn more about the splendid
I service that is extended from the fac-
I tory in the way of part repairs and
i replacements.
Mr. Mueller, who is delivering lect
i ures both days on every subject per
j taining to the Harley-Davidson, is an
enthusiastic Harley-Davidson man
| and knows the motorcycle from
sparkplug to saddle. His cxpluna-
I tions on the various .parts, the big
work the factory is doing for every
Harley rider, the service department
that is maintained, the work of the
coming season, is very ably explain
led in such a way that no dealer
I but can grasp a part of that enthus
| iasm and make himself a promise
I that he is going to give better service
to his customers and that he is going
to sell more machines than ever.
One of the important points under !
discussion is the new Harley-Davidso ;
sport model which is on display at
tiie local salesrooms ot" Heagy's Sport
ing Goods Store. This new model
was explained thoroughly and as it!
has several new features not found
on the regular model, proved an
interesting toptc to many dealers. It
is predicted for this new model that
it will create somewhat of a sensa- j
tion when it is viewed by the public.
Experiences that have been gained
through the war has been embodied
in this new model and front the point j
of performance it is said to be a ;
winner.
It is predicted that the coming year j
will be the banner year in the motor- !
cycle game and more machines will i
be in demand than can readily be
manufactured. Early buying is one
of the features, inasmuch as there
are more orders now being placed
for later deliveries than has ever!
been recorded in any Februarv be- I
fore.
French Farms Amaze
Soldiers; Eager to Pull
Home Out of Old Rut
Washington, Feb. 19.—The trend
toward better agricultural education
is nowhere reflected more clearly
than in the work of the federal
board for vocational education !
among the disabled soldiers, sailors
and marines. The number of boys 1
who have been raited on farms of
the non-progressive type is consid- i
erable. and a large proportion of i
them now desire to receive special- I
ized education in order that they !
may go back to the old home place I
pull it out of the hap-hazard rut I
and put it on paying basis.
The sights these boys have seen
in France where the thriftv, French
farmer has brought intensive agri- j
culture to a science to where al- i
raised on small acreage, have un
doubtedly made a strong impres- !
sion upon returned soldiers. ' I
Son of Ex-Governor
Stone Killed in France;
Airplane at Fault
Philadelphia, Feb. 19.—Lieuten- i
ant John Stone, son of former Gov
erttor William A. Stone, of Pennsvl- i
vania, died on January 24 as the 1
result of an airplane accident near !
Tours, France, according to infor- I
matiort received by his father from :
Chaplain Frahk If. Kerr, of the 1
aviation service. Broken machinery
in the plane is believed to have been
responsible for the accident. I
Lieutenant Stone was 30 years j
old. He had been in the air service '
since the beginning of the war .and i
had won a promotion on his merits.
Community Buildings
as Soldier Memorials
Washington, Feb. 19.—Soldiers
memorials in the form of commun
ity buildings, dedicated to civic and
social uses. and. wherever possible
built with bonds of the fifth Liberty
Loan, are urged by the Bureau of
Education, Department of the Jn
terior, in a circular sent to every
States.
A number of communities have
already concluded that a building,
in constant use as a reminder of
the sacrifice made by the soldiers
and sailors of the war. Is more ap
propriate and enduring than the
conventional grave-yard monument.
"There is a growing conviction,"
says Dr. Henry E. Jackson, author
of the Bureau's circular, "that the
conventional stone shaft, placed in
a graveyard among the dead, is not
a fitting memorial to those who died
Tor freedom. The suggestion, made
both In France and America, that
these memorials take the form of
community buildings, dedicated to
lvtc and social uses, is obviously
wise and ought to meet universal
approval, un the walls of such a
building should hang a bronze tab
fit containing the names of each
ommunity' martyrs to liberty.
