2—That the said farm or tract of
| land is subject to the claims which
certain of the heirs of John Stivich
(Stivig), late of Dauphin County,
aforesaid, deceased, may have in or to

claim arising by reason of a" widow's
dower charge originally in the
amount of three hundred and eighty

above Nome in the great white
wastes of the sub-Arctic. From
Maine, New York, Texas, Missouri,
Nebraska and other states, recruits
come to the service. There has not
yet been the first instance recorded
of a man failing to perform the task
allotted to him.
Keep 1" Stations
I Seventeen stations are maintain
ed by the corps out of Valdez, each
completely outfitted. The Pacific-
Alaska cable after leaving Seattle
first reaches the coast at Yuldez.
Here messages are transferred from
the cable and sent out over the land
lines.
To reach his station, or post of
duty, many of the Signal Corps men
have to walk hundreds of miles.
Then when the winter blasts hurl
out over the white wastes, begins
the Signal Corps mah's vigil. Cop
per wires that link the great terri
tory together and carry the news of
the world, pass from Valdez through
deep forests, tundra and morass,
over lofty hills and through beauti
ful prairies to Fairbanks, down the
Tanana river to Fort Gibbons, down
the Yukon to St. Michael and thence
to Nome. /
Break Daily Trails
Daily trails must be broken to
other stations, lines repaired, trees
removed from the vicinity of the
wires. The Signal Corps man must
risk his life time and again for the
careless or unfortunate travelers.
Some of the deeds have come to
light. Among them was a rescue of
1908 when the Delta district be
jtween Valdez and Fairbanks was
j visited by one of the worst blizzards
in the history of the country. For
seventeen days the mercury stood at
54 below, and gales hurled continu
ously the fine snow in blinding mass
es through the air. One could
scarcely face the elements. A party
of prospectors and miners on its
way from Valdez to Fairbanks was
caiiglit in the. storm. Unable to
reach a road house, the travelers
| sought shelter in the lee of some
| timber. On the morning of the sec
ond day one man succeeded in
reaching the cabin of a Signal Corps
man. With the soldier he returned
to the stranded party. Several men
were frozen to death. Seven trips
to and from his station the soldier
made, rescuing all the survivors, in
cluding two women. Later several
! of the men rescued died of exposure,
• and when the summer sun pierced
1 the drifts of the trail, thirteen bodies ;
I were found.
Wedding Rings Are
In Big Demand Now
New York Jewelers report •
large orders for welding rings
from all over the country, presum- |
ably to supply the market for June
brides. One manufacturer declared
the demand for plain gold bands far •
exceeded that for carved rings. He I
said his company sells 2,000 rings |
a day and of these only 75 or 100 |
were of the carved variety.
All branches of the jewelry trade
arc working to capacity with the
demand from retailers greatly in I
excess of the facilities to turn out j
the work. From all sections of the |
country, it is reported, retailers are |
calling for the better grade of jew- I
elry with cheap and shoddy mer
chandise receiving little attention, j
Manufacturers report that in those j
sections where army camps have I
been located, there has been a de- I
cided falling off in trade owing to
the demobilization of the troops. I
The Lenten season was a compara- |
tively dull one for the jewelry trade.
PRISONERS TO HAVE
SHARE OK EARNINGS
Nashville, Tennessee—Contracts for
prison labor, which are understood
to be the highest priced and most
satisfactory ever ipade in the United
States, have been closed by Lewis
Pope, manager of the board of ad
ministration of Tennessee. Accord
ing t° the new agreement, which was

women shall be entirely in the cus
tody of the State and that they shall
participate in their earnings to the
extent of 3.1 1-3 per cent over the ac

earnings being paid either to the pris
oners or to their dependents.
The corporations entering into
these contracts represent the textile
hosiery, harness and foundry indus
tries.
PRICES DURING
THE CIVIL WAR
Many Points of Similarity
Is Found With the
World Conflict
r j Tlio I'nited States Department of
1 1 1.<abor, through the Information and
t! Education Service, is issuing the re
sults of a study of prices during the
I war and readjustment period made
| by the Division of Public Works and
j''onstruction Development. Discuss
ing the Civil War period as a prece
dent for war prices, the report says:
"A comparison of the course of
' prices during the Civil War and the
present war shows many points of
j similarity during the two war per
. iods. The course of prices during
j the present period of readjustment
and the corresponding period fol
| lowing the Civil War show more
j points of difference than of simi
larity.
"During both wars the wholesale
prices of commodities in general
rose steadily through the war per
iod. The rise during the Civil War
period, taking the year 1860 as the
base, runs up to somewhat higher
[ level than the rise during the pres
ent war. In both wars, building
materials rose in price, but they did
not at either time reach levels as
high as the price levels of other
; commodities.
1 "At the beginning of the year
1865, the end of the Civil War be
ing in sight, wholesale prices broke
suddenly and violently. During the
lirst six months of the year, prices
in general fell off 2 7 per cent, from
the high level of January. How
ever, the break in wholesale prices,
though unprecedented in violence
and accompanied by the unsettling
influence of the end of the great
war, produced on business crisis oi
depression. Through the latter halt
of 1865 prices recovered from the
low point until in January, 1866,
they stood just 16 per cent, below
the level of January, 1865. From
the beginning of 1866 prices dropped
slowly downward. They did not
reach the pre-war level until the
year 1878. As is well known, during
that period of intlatod currency,
gold was at a premium. However,
commodity prices remained above
the prices of gold up to and includ
ing the year 1877.
' "Building materials declined in
price along with other commodities
during the first half of the year 1865.
However, the fall was less than in
the case of other commodities.
Whereas commodities in general
dropped 27 per cent., building ma
terials dropped only 14 per cent.
The recovery during the second half
of the year was more marked, prices
of building materials returning to
! the level of the last quarter of the
j level for period of a year before the
year 1864, and remaining at that
| decline set in. The index figure for
| the building materials group re
| mained higher than that for all
commodities up to and including the
j year 1874.
i "The currency was on a distinctly
[unsound basis in the Civil War re
i construction period. The sharp flue
[ tuations in prices gave rise to much
j speculation and the opportunities for
development of the resources of the
country, such as unused land, rivers
land harbors, building of railroads,
led tQ over-expansion of business re
sulting in the Financial Panic of
11873. This panic was not accom
panied by any sharp decline in
prices.
j "As was stated above, it was thir
i teen years after the Civil Wur be-
I fore prices returned to the pre-war
level. The principal cause of the
return to the pre-war level was the
fact that there was such abundant
[ opportunity for the development of
i new and more eoonomic methods of
| production in the shape of new
| forms of machinery and new kinds
of business organizations. These
opportunities we do not have at the
present day in any measure com
parable with the previous period."
•'SHIP BY TRUCK" IS
THE NEW SLOGAN
Maeon, Georgia Efforts to in
crease river-barge traffic and to co
ordinate river and rail routes, for the
relief of the steam carriers, which
the war proved to be inadequately
developed as a national entity, are
being closely nccompanled by further
efforts to relieve the rails through
the more general use of the gasoline
motor truck for comparatively short
hauls. Several motor truck routes
have been established, the most not
able of them being from middle west
ern manufacturing centers to the
Atlantic shipping points.
"The success of the routes has
led to the Inauguration of a national
"Ship by Truck" movement, which
while backed by the truck makers,
nevertheless has an obvious und im
portant bearing on the future trans
portation problem of the United
States.

"Sky Riders" Promises
to Be Huge Success
Reserved seats were put on sale
Saturday morning for the senior play
"The Sky Riders," to be given Tues
day evening in the High school
auditorium. So great was the rush
for scats that the reserve seats were
sold out long before evening. More
seats were immediately reserved.
The story of the pljiy is an inter
esting one. Algernon Gordon lirown
has come to California with his
daughter, Juliana, to find a residence
for Mrs. Brown. An aviator of pre
cisely the same name is startling
California with his daredevil feats.
I.Mrs. Brown thinks the aviator Is her
husband, and with a second daugh
ter, Helen, rushes to California. She
arrives just when the real aviator
is making preparations for a flight
to Honolulu. She has so boasted of
her husband's supposed air feats that
he cannot bring himself to disillu
sion her. Juliana keeps it up as a
huge joke on her mother and sister.
A young newspaper man, Saunders,
and Teddy Nixon, a wireless opera
tor. in love with the two sisters, are
also in the plot.
A Chinese servant discovers the
truth but is silenced. Tlie real aviator
begins his trip. Brown says goodby
to bis wife and is supposed to be off
for Honolulu, accompanied by Saun
ders. although they really go in hid- j
ing nearby. Brown lias several close
escapes from being discovered. When
news comes of a disaster in mid-1
ocean. Mrs. Brown is prostrated.!
Helen sees her father and thinks he
is a ghost. Teddy, the wireless oper- |
ator, gets timely news of a rescue, j
Brown and Saunders return trium
phant Mrs. Brown, proud and happy,
promises never to mention aviation
to her husband again and the two
love stories end happily.
The second scene shows the avia
tion field just before the aviator be
gins his flight across the ocean, and
shows a real aeroplane which has
been in active service during the
war.
The final rehearsal for the piay is
being held this evenipg. The rehear
sals have been such as to assure a
successful performance to-morrow.
The play is being staged under the
direction of Prof. Stonesifer. Tickets
