TWO DESERTERS GET 20 YEARS Americans Go Ahead of Army and Don German Uniforms Coblenz, May 3.—Two American soldiers who went ahead of the Army of Occupation during its march across Rhenish Prussia last December, donned German army uniforms and had a series of thril ling adventures, after a court mar tial recently wero sentenced to twenty years at hard labor. The men, both privates, were charged with desertion in addition to eight other offenses connected with their run away trip. According to the testimony brought out at the court martial, both men broke a little German and after going ahead of the advancing Hoops fell in with a number of Ger man soldiers, also deserters. The Germans had stored a lot of food, wearing apparel and other articles of value and, witnesses said, induced the Americans to assist the Germans in rescuing the stolen property from a cache. The two privates, Frederick Rich man and Frank Richards, probably were the first Amoricnns to enter Coblenz, as they were more than a week ahead of the schedule of the Third Army in its march toward tlie Rhine. It was in a suburb of Cob lenz that the Germans had hidden their booty—in the basement of a German woman's bouse. In some way the Coblenz police heard of the thefts and for several days and nights had guards watching for the USL—USL—USL—USL—USL—USL—USL^-USL i ; 7 i For Battery Satisfaction Buy a USL Storage Battery f Xo Martins; Troubles —Xo laKhting Worries—More Power W —More Service; use it tor better starting and lißhtinß.

Our owners' records show that compared with other trucks or with horses and mules. Duplex trucks cut the cost per ton-mile from 20 to 60 per cent. Xo extra wide or dual tires are needed. Tire expense alone is reduced 30 per cent. The Duplex drives on all four wheels, giving continu ous power. Its fuel consumption is considerably less. The Duplex goes with a full load where other trucks can not go empty. The self-locking differential pulls the Duplex out so long as onlj r one wheel has solid traction. Tire double reduction drives gives it tremendous pow er in an emergency. These facts all contribute to lowering the ton-mile cost and assuring the operator of freedom from inter ruptions in his hauling.

TTse McNeil's Pain Kxtermtnator--Arl TO MAKE SPEED IN WASTE CAMPAIGN Nursery Home Bags Placed in Homes According to Map System System and speed are to be the slogans of the waste campaign just started under the auspices of the Harrisburg Nursery Home to raise funds for their organization. The first process, which is now in pro gress, is to place one of the big paper rag bags in every home in Harrisburg. This will be accomplished by di viding tlie city off into sections ac cording to maps, and having the workers start out from different neighborhoods, finishing each street and section before proceeding to the next, and checking oft each street as it is finished. It will take about three or four days to distribute all the bags in this way, and then the collection of the filled bags will be gin. Contributors are expected to fill their bags as soon as they receive them. The campaign will be over in short order, and belated waste will be of no use to the organization, as the entire collection is to be sold in one lot. People are urged to take special note of this, and to read the directions on the bag carefully, as the officers are eager to have the splendid collection of last year sur passed. Housewives might well pattern af ter the waste campaign in doing their house-cleaning. The spring cleaning will be found to lose half of its terrors, if the work is mapped out ahead of time and undertaken systematically according to a well arranged plan, and the 'search for waste can be combined with the city-wide house-cleaning. This annual waste drive is a splen did example of what can be accom plished by community co-operation. In a few weeks, a whole year's ac cumumlation of useless and needless waste and cast-off material will be cleared out from Harrisburg cellars, attics and closets, the whole city will have undergone a cleaning-up, and a neat sum of money will be realized for the Nursery Home of Harrisburg, as a result of the sale of the waste. The officers of the. Nursery Home have engaged the ser vice of the Harrison Co-operative Service to conduct the campaign for the Nursery Home. Desirable Things to Donate Most homes contain the following things which can help swell the fund: Rags, large or small; unwearahle articles, such as old flannel baby [clothes, blankets, petticoats, wo men's outing suits, stockings, woolen underwear, shirts, yarn, knit or [crocheted articles, such as unwear ahle house jackets, shawls, sweaters, [scarfs, toboggan caps and mittens, and women's, men's, and boys' un wearahle garments, including over coats, suits, cloth skirts, all kind of old carpets and rugs, old rubber footwear, automobile tires, hot water bags, and copper, brass, lead, tinfoil, old plated ware, knives, forks, etc. Middietown Letter Crosses Ocean Twice For Soldier Who Died at Sea Tlie T. .T.

"The first cold hath I had at home gave me the 'blues' all day; the next gave me a stiff neck in addition. and the third day I developed rheu matism. They say that the British are a Class 3 nation physically. I wonder whether cold baths have anything to do with it." Wives and domestic servants are said to be opposed to the new hot bath habit of the returned soldiers. Hot baths mean the consumption of more coal and require more work in preparation. ' 9
