Within the last two years this yard has been entirely rebuilt and the capacity enlarged 100 per cent. The entire driveway is paved, as is also the floors of all the huge coal bins. This helps to keep the coal clean and permits quick loading of wagons. All coal is elevated to the wagons by electric machinery. Before going into the wagons the coal passes over a moving screen to remove the dirt. We invite coal consumers on Allison Hill to visit our yard and examine our coal—see how efficiently everything is conducted. United Ice & Coal Co.

"FRIDAY YVENING, , HARRISBURG frfWWW TELEGRAPH FEBRUARY 28, 1919 MODERN FARMS | NEED MECHANICS ; Many Evidences of Interest in Profession For Disabled Soldiers Washington, Feb. 28.—Great in terest is being manifested hy mod ern farmers in obtaining disabled soldiers who have been retrained by the federal board for vocational education as "farm* mechanics," the new profession evolved by the board and in which many injured soldiers are now being retrained. I.abor is the big problem on a farm. Mechanical equipment makes the farmer practically independent of transient labor and enables him to do away with part of his equip ment of teams. In doing this he not only saves the cost of the team, harness, barn room and work of caring for them, but he saves food or in other words he has more acres I tor income crops. j This broadening of the disabled j man's training and work increases i his ability to locate himself advan '• tagcously and makes it possible for j him to obtain a permanent position ' rather than a temporary or seasonal job. Build Schoolhouses Is Claxton's Appeal Washington, Feb. 28. "Build j schoolhouses." says Dr. P. P. Clax j ton, United States Commissioner of j Education.

President of the Women's Legion, is heading a well organized movement for the em ployment as servants of large num bers of the Women's Auxiliary Army- Corps now being demobilized.
