Attractive Suburban Homes
ON TWENTY-SEVENTH STREET
BETWEEN DERRY AND WOODLAWN STREETS
These homes are in one of Harrisburg's
most beautiful residential sections
Lot 20x100 Feet; Six Rooms and Bath; Ten Feet Between Houses
The above mentioned houses all have cement basements, excavated underneath
the front porch for a coal bin, excavated under the rear porch for a fruit cellar, out
side cellar ways, inside cellar ways, stea m heat, gas heater and boiler attached to
the steam boiler in the basement, extra large front porch, hardwood floors in the
parlor and dining room, kitchen sink with drain board, large kitchen dresser, laro-e
white enamel gas stove, three nice size bed rooms with large balcony, and large
bath room. The houses will be supplied with a very select grade of electric fix
tures, exceptionally good grade of paper, a ten year* guaranteed roof and will be
sold with shrubbery, hedging and lawn.
Just a little talk in. regard to the construction of these houses which are differently
constructed than houses built for the public heretofore in this city, and that thev
are incased with brick. This construction gives an inch air space between the
brick and the inner wall which is quoted by our best architects to be a warmer
house in the winter time and a much cooler house in the summer time. Four of the
above mentioned houses are sold and if this might interest you, we would advise
not to delay as this type of house is too costly for us to continue with and our next
group will be of a different construction.

RECIPROCITY TO
BE REPEALED
Move to Obtain Revision of
Tariff Schedules With
Canada
Washington, July 20. lmm
ediate repeal of the Canadian -Reci
procity Act, approved by President
Taft, July 26, 1911, was decided up
on by the Ways and Means Com
mittee.
This js the first tariff revision defi
nitely agreed to by the Republicans
since regaining control of Congress.
A report was ordered to be made to
the House soon and if possible the
repeal measure will be rushed
through befope the summer recess,
which leaders are endeavoring to
have begin early in August. It may
have to be delayed, as there is
strong sentiment among Republi
can following demands from cer
tain sections that the reciprocity
law be nullified.
The reciprocity act was put
through Congress after one of the
stormiest tariff debates in its his
tory. It was regarded gravely by
New England and Northwestern
States. It affected wood pulp and
paper, agricultural products, lum
ber and numerous manufactured
products, which were to be allowed
to enter the United States at identi
cal rates of duty or at great reduc
tion. The report points out, that
nearly every industry, on whose
products reductions were made,
protested vigorously and the addi
tional declaration is given that
though it went thfough during a
Republican Congress, this could not
have been so but for the stajid of
the Democrats.
Klein Team Wins on Hits
in Hummelstown Game
Klein Chocolate Company team
hunched hits and won last even
ing's game from the Hummelstown
nine, score 8 to 3. Both teams play
ed a great game. Klein won on
bunched hits. Costly errors figured
in runs for both teams.
The Klein runs all were the re
sults of good, clean hits. Nine safe
bingles the winners made and most
of them counted for scores, as Klein
had very few men left and caught
out on the bases. Hummelstown
had eight hits, but they were scat
tered for the most part.
Manager Breckenridge, of the
Klein team, announced after the
I game that his team would play the
Cincinnati Nationals on Island Park
