MILLIONS FOR ROAD BUILDING Delegations Tender Commis sioner Sadler Money for Lateral Roards Representatives of six counties i pledged millions of dollars tcf the State Highway Department for the construction of roads in co-operation with the State at a series of con-1 ferences with Highway Commissioner Lewis S. Sadler that lasted for almost seven hours yesterday. Since the first of the month between $12,000,- 000 and $15,000,000 has been prom ised by counties for construction of secondary highways, while the state is building the primary system. Mercer county people who were here in two big delegations said that they would endeavor to secure a road loan of $ SO.OOO. Beaver has already pledged close to a million and Warren $750,000. Bedford countians said that they thought they could get $250,000. "Put your elections on a good road basis and have your county commis sioners elected for 'better highways' because I am sure the people will be for the officials who want to help pull the State out of the mud" said the commissioner. "The State intends to build be ween 550 and 600 miles of primary highway before next fall and we will let some contracts before long. Soi%e may be let In forty live days. These ronds will be built for keeps. In four years we will spend about $125,000,-' 000 for roads in this State and we in tend to get value. First we will have to get the weight limits settled." Mercer county people made the biggest showing today. One delega tion represented that the Shenango valley wanted the road from New Wilmington to points a mile, east of Sharon and then to Greenville instead of through Mercer. The qther favor ed the Mercer route. The commis sioner told them to get together which they did on the Shenango val ley proposition. This will take $400,- 000 which Mercer county can issue without an election and a like sum which it is believed will be voted. It was also agreed that rotite 73 should become part of the system Vnd part of this road running northwest from the Butler line will be built this year. The effect will be to have the main route pass close to Sharon and Far rell and they will have spurs to the artery. Fred T. Fruit, who was one of the speakers, said that the agree ment would give Mercer five high ways into Ohio and that he fslt sure the plan would be generally fkvored. Centre and Bradford delegations asked about the plans for construc tion in detail and will go home to consult with their people. Repre sentative E. R. Smith introduced County Commissioners Nevin Diehl. M. Leighton and T. C. Bradley, of Bedford, whe were accompanied by citizens from Everett and other places and they agreed to match the State expenditures. Adams and York county delega tions asked that there be an early start in the East Berlin-Dillsburg road as a link in the Harrisburg to Baltimore highway and as a market road, but were informed that it would be up to the counties to build. The State, said Mr. Sadler, would maintain it if 1 a right kind of a bot tom was put on it. He cautioned ' the delegation to see that construc tion would stand winter, was donne. Franklin county people asked that there be arrangement for work soon on the road from Waynesboro to Mc- Connelsburg byway of Greencastle. A promise of fifty fifty work on the Pittston-Tunkhannock section was made by a delegation from West Pittston. • Temporary Array of 538,498 Provided By Senate Committee Washington, Feb. 25.

The bill was debated for 40 minutes. Mr. Bald ridge, Allegheny, attacked the ananual license feature as hin dersome and that householders we're entitled to weapons for protection to which Mr. Wells, Philadelphia re plied that foreigners and others were carrying guns and holding up people in his city. The bill he held, would curb them. Mr. Showalter, Union, doubted the constitutionality of the bill. Mr. Bennett, Philadelphia, advo cated the bill, saying it was too easy now for boys to buy weapons in pawn shops and *bat possession. of Are arms must be curbed.

The real intent of the bill is to eliminate Oerman papers from being the # re cipients of official devertislng. The Judiciary Ixical committee of the House had reported the bill with a negative recommendation and Rep resentative Bolard made a speech last night to have the bill placed on the calendar of the House despite the recommendation of the com mittee. He spoke for about five minutes and then the vote was taken. The House voted 146 to 28 in favor of the bill and against the committee's action. Mr. Bolard then agreed to have the bill again sent to the committee for a public hearing following which they will be reported favorably. Some members voted against placing the bills on the calendar over the committee's action because they cfd not wajit other papers than German excluded from the privilege of receiving official ad vertising. They had in mind Yid dish, Italian, Slavonian tfnd other publications that Were not un friendly in the war or whose mother nations were not unfriendly. There is a possibility that the bills will be amended to include some other nationalities exclusive of Ger man. The latter seem to bs out of luck as far as any public recognition I is concerned. Mr. Bolard said in speaking on his bill: "This bill is not sectional or local. It applies to the whole State. It refers to making the Eng lish language the only language in which the legal procedure of this State shall be conducted. To my mind there is no reason why an ad vertisement of a legal nature should be made in the Yiddish, German, Italian or Chinese language in Penn sylvania any more than we should have our bills or our legal forms or our deeds made in those languages and go on our records. We have allowed this thing to creep into our practice it Pennsylvania and it has been getting worse and worse. "I say the time has come when we should be Americans, that there should be no language in this juris prudence except the English lan guage."

FEBRUARY 25, 1999L'' The door flew open and in rushed the A3 man. He put a very 3irecf question ft} * Mr. Hershey. He asked, "Mr. Hershey, why don't you wriU) an advertisement yourself, about your plant?'* jj Mr. Hershey replied, "Well, that's what I have you for." But the Ad man persisted, saying, "You know all about your plant—you know your aim in this business and you ought to tell the people in a very personal way just what the Hershey Cream ery Company stands for." Mr. Hershey replied that he would probably do that when he had a little time to spare. But the Ad man wouldn't give up. He said, "There's no time like the present. Come on, let's take a trip through the plant and see if we cannot find something interesting to tell the people of Harrisburg." So Mr. Hershey and the Ad man stalled en tour through the big creamery. Just as they stepped from Mr. Hershey's office to the big main room of the plant, Mr. Hershey laid his hand on top of a big vat, exclaiming, "There, right there's where we pasteurize all the cream that comes into our plant. In this big vat the cream is arti-' ficially cooled and then goes down into the freezers, which freeze the cream into HERSHEY'S SUPERIOR ICE CREAM." But the Ad man stopped him saying "Oh, but you're too fast. What about all the things that go into the mixture before you freeze the cream?" # # "Well," said Mr. Hershey, "let's go over here to this big refrigerator, and I will show you some thing that will interest you." So they stepped big refrigerator with' a temperature slightly above freezing. Asked Mr. Hershey, "Do you see all that fruit in hermetically sealed containers? Well, we pre serve it ourselves and we get the very finest fruit grown. We know what kind of fruit we get and we know how it is put up. We use REAL fruit for our fruit flavors. And fresh fruit when we can get it." Then, the Ad man asked "Can the people tell the difference between real fruit flavors and ex tract fruit flavors?'* "Well, I'll bet they can," said Mr. Hershey, "there is all the difference in the world. Did you ever eat an ice cream sundae in a place where they used fresh peaches and notice the difference between that kind of a sundae and the kind you get in a store where they use peach syrup? Well, there you are. If all the people in this city really knew that we used real fruit flavors, we would 6ell nearly all the ice cream in Harrisburg. "But I am busy to-day, old man, and I would rather not go through the rest of the plant right now.'* j But the Ad man took him by the arm and said, "Come on, we are going to do this job—we are going into every nook and corner of this plant and we are going to tell the people of this town every little detail of it, and how we make thci best ice cream in this city." So they started off together and you will hear more about the Hershey Creamery Company in the next issue.
