FOR INSTITUTES
Plans Bring Made For Exten
sion of the Instruction of
the Teachers This Fall
Lecturers from the State Depart
ment of Health will appear at county
teachers' institutes during the com
ing fall and winter to discuss with
the instructors the teaching of prin
ciples of health and ideas of physical
education. Dr. George K. Strode,
chief of the division of school hy
giene, has been given the task of
arranging for these lectures and dis
cussions and also preparation of a
Bystem of instruction in health.
Arrangements for this inter-de
partment work have been planned '
by Dr. Thomas E. Finegan, the
State Superintendent of Public In
struction, and Col. Edward Martin,
the State Commissioner of Health.
A plan specially adapted to this
State and which may in time be
come known as the Pennsylvania
Bystem is to be evolved.
Under provisions of various laws
enacted by the Legislature this year
there will he numerous changes
worked out in the course for the
schools of the State and the chances
are that in addition to health in- j
Btruction there will be Americaniza
tion, physical education and general
extension of the various educational
subjects.
Federal laws are giving substan
tial aid for various objects and the
State in planning to watch these
subsidies which will increase from
year to year.
State health officials are watch
ing for any signs of a recurrence
of the Influenza epidemic in Penn
sylvania this year and are prepared
to cope with any emergency which
may arise. According to some
medical men the history of influenza
has been a return within a year,
but in a less severe form and it is
believed that the new quarantine
act will enable the State authorities
to secure a great measure of co
operation in combating any outbreak
of the disease.
According to health officials ex
cept for some smallpox in Cambria,
Franklin and a few other counties
and a small amount of typhoid fever
the State is comparatively free of
serious outbreaks.

May Overhaul
Telephone Rates
Upshot of the return of the tele
phone lines by the. Government to
their corporate owners will mean a
general overhauling of all telephone
rates eventually. The rates under
which the Bell Telephone Compahy
| was operating when the Government
I took control were established for
three years less than two years ago
and the question will come up
whether at the end of the four
month period for which Congress
I gave authority to charge the pres
lent Government rates the State es
tablished rates should he resumed.
The Bell rates were established after
I a most exhaustive physical valuation.
| Nothing has yet turned up in re
| gard to tho telegraph rates, but the
Postal is expected to file its newly
restored rates for intra-State traffic.
store of Robert Bream and asked for
any old kind of a bottle that was
good and clean into which he could
get some of the water out of the
spring across the road to take home
to a friend of his and then related
this story:
"William M. Arnall, of Towson,
Maryland, was a member of Jones'
brigade of cavalry, the rear guard
of Lee's entire army, and reached
Cashtown while the second day's
battle was being fought at Gettys
burg. The man had marched for
miles across the mountains and when
they reached Cashtown were greatly
rejuvenated by drinking the water
from the cool sparkling spring. After
a few hour's rest the march was con
tinued to Fairfield, where Jones' bri
gade met and defeated tho X Sixth
United States Regulars in a hand to
hand conflict.
"This old confederate veteran is a
great friend of mine, and upon learn
ing that I was going to Chambers
burg to visit my mother and know
ing that I would pass the famous
Cashtown spring he asked me to
bring back a bottle of water for
him. Throughout all these years
Arnall has never forgotten the drink
he took from that spring in the
month of July, 1863."
Mr. Bream furniahed the bottle and
after getting the water the stranger
departed, several days later Mr.
Bream received a letter from the tour
ist stating that he had given the
water to the confederate veteran, who
drank it eagerly and then said: "It's
still mighty fine water, but it doesn't
taste as good as it did 66 years ago."

Fourth Division, American Expedi
tionary Forces, one of the two divi
sions it Is said never asked General
Pershing, "When are we going home?"

home. This young soldier was one
of those assembled along the Rhine
River after they had been assembled

A letter from California "conveys
the information that on June 22, a
reunion of people from Pennsylvania
was held at Glendale, in that State,
consisting of all families from the
Keystone State who are residents

are touring southern California, one
of whom was Edward M. Wolf, of

The Tyrone Chamber of Commerce
has commended that the vacant plot
near the P. R. R. Station be converted
Into a memorial for the soldiers and
sailors of Tyrone who went forth to
the war. As almost every man prom
inent in Tyrone Is a member of the
Chamber of Commerce it Is assumed
they speak for the people and town.
This will be an ideal spot, properly
fitted up. It has long been an eye
sore, and being at the entrance of the
town, it has called forth anything
but compliments for Tyrone from
strangers.
Tyrone barbers are having a squab
ble all their own. All the shops are
unionized but two. Of these one Is
a small one In the outlying district.
The other is probably the largest
and most important shop in Tyrone,
and almost all measures of a reason
able and orderly nature are being
done by the unionists to convert it
to a union shop. The fight is intendi
fied by the fact that the proprietor
years ago was a union man.

STATE APPLE
CROP WAY DOWN
Siatc Reports Unfavorable Ac
cording to Officials of
Agricultural Department jp
The apple crop of Pennsylvania,
which was estimated at 13,000,000
bushels for 191S, Is declared by the
statisticians of the State Department
of Agriculture to look like 9,262,500
for 1919 owing to weather conditions.
The reports obtained by the bureau
of statistics from its crop reporters
! indicate a great variation in pros
| pects. In many counties there was a
| heavy drop of apples in June due to
the cold weather in April which pre
vented fertilization; hard, cold rains
and other adverse conditions.
Based on a normal crop the pros
pects are given as follows: Adams
county, 80 per cent; York, 81; Bucks,
82; Lancaster, 85; Cumberland, 81,
and Berks, 80. Some counties, includ
ing Butler, Cleariield and Venango
are rated as between 20 and 25 per
cent. The estimate for the ten larg
est apple growing counties is 70 per
cent of the average crop for the last
ten years and for the State at large
on the same basis not 60 per cent.
Observations on the wheat crop
i made this week do not indicate any
j change for the better and many in
• stances of heavy loss due to sprout
; ing of grain in the ear and of delaya
I in threshing due to weather are be
| ing heard of. The oats outlook is
j declared considerably below ps*.
