8 PLANS FOR NEXT YEAR'S KIPONA UNDER WAY | Plans are being considered al ready for next year's Kipona. A large number of suggestions have been made to make it bigger and better and Admiral J. William Bow man said to-day that he would like to receive ideas of people in gen eral for the consideration of the labored so diligently to make thsl affair the wonderful success it has been, but I wish to convey to all of them and to the members of the com mittees especially the deep appreci ation which I feel and which I am sure the people of the whole city feel for the enthusiasm the participants displayed. I am sure it has all served | a very good purpose and our reward must be in the entertainment we have provided for all who desired to wit ness the wonderful spectacle pre sented." The Harrisburg Light and Power Company, Ray E. Steward, Cox Stew ard and the McCreath Brothers pro vided all the flats used in the Kipona. There were 75 of them in all. each of them valued at 5500 or more and the owners gave them free to the city for the occasion, a very generous contri bution to the success of the enter prise. Much credit is due to Ray Steward and his veteran river men who moved with ease 40 flats, all of them chained together from the island shore to their place near the front steps for the enactment of the pageant. Mr. Steward and rivermen took their job seriously and put much enthusiasm into it. They moved this great train of boats without a hitch or accident and precisely in the number of min utes they had calculated in advance. Several tribes of Redmen in the city aided materially in adding to the pic turesque pictures of the pageant by appearing in uniform, while the Girl Scout chorus gave another and very beautiful touch to the pageantry by appearing in costume and singing most effectively. The Boy Scouts under Scout Execu tive Virgin did excellent work both afternoon and evening. They kept the crowds not only in good order, but in good humor, as well. They pre vented lams and lirected street traf fic. They transferred seats from flat to flat and wigwagged signals for starting and halting pageant scenes. In short, they added another brilliant chapter to their long record of suc cess during Harrisburg's celebration. Jay Cox Thompson of the Valley I Railways Company, an electrical engi- j neer of state wide reputation, and L. j L. Ferree, one of the heads of the ' Harrisburg Light and Power Com pany. were responsible for the ar rangement of the flood lights.

Coal operators advanced the price of Egg, Stove and Nut coal 95 cents per ton in the period from July Ist to September Ist. The wholesale advance on Pea coal from July Ist to September Ist was but 20 cents per ton. We are expecting a further advance of 75 cents per ton on Pea size coal just as soon as cold weather comes to stay. At the present time we are in position to furnish a good quality of Hard, Soft or Mixed Pea coal. We strongly advise the putting in of this size coal, because it is now available—later coal will be scarce and prices high. Don't wait and get caught in the and Winter Rush." If you wait, you will pay higher prices, and, what is worse, you may not be able to get coal when you need it most. United Ice & Coal Co.

The propel ler drove the boat through the water on the same principle that the aero bian,. is driven through the air.
