U. S. EXPLORER
* WORKS HIS WAY
HOME AFOOT
Harold Noice Expects to Reach
Civilization by Next
Summer
Seattle, Oct. 18. —An American
explorer, Harold Nolce, formerly a
member of Vilhjalmur Stefansson's
party is working his way eastward
on foot along the route of the north
west passage on the northern rim of
the continent, according to word re
ceived here. He expects to reach
the Hudson Bay country and civili
zation some time next summer.
Storker Storkerson, formerly sec
ond in command of the Stefanssosi
party, who arrived here recently
from the far north, said that Noice,
accompanied only by Eskimos, is
proceeding slowly and mapping por
tions of the coast lines as he goes.
A stretch of the coast line of Vic
toria Land, heretofore unmapped, is
being charted by Noice.
Noice may visit the interior of
Victoria Land, which, according to
all reports, has never been explored
by white men. All explorers, trad
ers and trappers who have touched
Victoria Land have only journeyed
along its shores. Stefansson found
the tribe of "blond Eskimos" in the
Victoria Land country.
Noice has no ship and but few
supplies. He depends almost en
tirely upon his gur. for his living.
Stefansson, his former chief, who is
noted among explorers as being able
to live off the barren white lands of
the north, probably taught Noice
how to get about, without carrying
many supplies.
Noice's parents live in Seattle.
The explorer is young in years, hav
ing graduated from a high school
here about eight years ago. He went
north in 1912 with Captain Louis
Lane on the schooner Polar Bear.
When Stefansson purchased the
Polar Bear from Lane, Noice ship
ped us a member of the crew. Later,
when Stefansson decided to return
to the outside world, Noice left the
party and remained in the North.
His parents expect him to return to
Seattle next year.
British War Office
Receives Confirmation of
Capture of Gatchina
By Associated Press.
ijowlon, Oct. 18. —The British war
office to-day received confirmation
of the news of the capture of Gatch
ina, 25 miles south of Petrograd, by
the northwestern Russian army of
General Yudenitch. The Bolsheviki
wero driven from the town yester
day.
The Esthonians, operating in the
coastal region, ulong the gulf of
Finland, the official advices state,
are within a few miles of Kras
naia Gorka and are facing the fort
ress of Kronstadt.
In the center of the advancing
line, official information is that the
anti-Bolshevik forces on Thursday
pushed forward to a point three or
four miles below Luga, 80 miles
south of Petrograd.
The Soviet forces are, according
to latest advices, still desperately
defending Petrograd, toward which
the anti-Bolshevik troops have been
advancing since October 11. Con
firmation of dispatches telling of the
fall of the former Russian capital
has not been received in official quar
ters here. Over the whole situation
around Petrograd there is consider
able obscurity, due to conflicting re
ports.
General Denikine appears to be
advancing his left flank along the
Dnieper Valley, taking Chernigoff
and moving northward toward Go
mel, where his Cossacks may join
Polish forces and present a com
pact front to the Soviet armies. If
this advancement is made the anti-
Bolshevik line from Petrograd to
Orel, south of Moscow, would re
semble a great horseshoe enclosing
the Bolsheviki.
East of Orel and in the Don re
gion the Bolsheviki are reported '
be retreating all along the fron,
Denikine troops have crossed the
Don over a front 200 miles in length,
it is claimed.
Germano-Russian forces are said
to be holding the left bank of the
lower Duna river Riga. Farther
up the stream indecisive fighting is
reported.
Up to Railroads to Help
Themselves, Says Director
In a statement issued to-day at
Duluth, Walker D. Hines, Director
General of Railroads, tells raiilroad
executives that the Federal Admin
istration cannot increase rates with
a view to helping the railroads fi
nancially when the latter go back to
private control. He says in part:
"There is no duty whatever,
cither legal or moral, resting on the
Railroad Administration to initiate
for the benefit of the railroad cor
poration rates which it believes to
be inexpedient to initiate for its own
benefit. On the contrary, the rail
road companies have the power to
protect their interests in this matter
just as fully as they had in the past
and -they ought to resort to it un
less they choose to stand on the
rates as they are.
MORE SHAPE
A boy was presented with some
young guinea pigs by his father's
friend. Meeting the hoy soon after
the friend inquired about the pets.
"Well, Robbie how are the guinea
pigs getting on: are they in good
shape?" *

WEST FAIRVIEW AND
HIGHSPIRE WELCOME
RETURNED SOLDIERS
Nearly 200 Men Who Saw Service March This Afternoon in
Two Gaily Decorated Boroughs; Special Exercises
Arranged For Day: Old-Fashioned Dinners
Service men, almost 200 of them, are to-day being honored
for their heroic deeds and brave sacrifices by their fellow-towns
men in Highspire and West Fairview. Cool weather this morn
ing only served to add snap to the last-minute preparations. It
had no harmful effect on the crowds.
Both boroughs have taken on a holiday appearance for each
has declared a day of festival to "welcome home" its service
men. In few instances, is more work being done by the resi
dents of these two boroughs than is absolutely necessary.
Street parades and such banquets as only mother can cook,
are holding honored places on the programs in both towns. West
Fairview's celebration will be concluded this evening, but High
spire will include other events to-morrow, including the presen
tation of medals to her ninety-odd service men.

weeks in drilling the children for
their part in the program.

that number of men who went forth
in various branches of the United
States service, to defend her against
her enemies. Three of the seventy
one stars on the flag wre gold, that
number of men from the borough
having fallen in service.
Tribute Is Paid Dead
West Fairview's sacrifice in this
respect, was heavier than that> of
most towns of Central Pennsylvania,
and her people to-day are paying fit
ting tribute, especially to these three
men. In this trio are two brothers,
Owen and Howard Carroll. The
third man was Albert Shaffner.
Forming at 1.30 o'clock, the big
parade moved oft at 2 o'clock to

popular part of the program as far

they may expect on the bill-of-fare,
but they have been assured that it
will not resemble army chow, either
in makeup or preparation.

North Seventeenth street died last
evening
Highspire is in holiday dress.
Every house in every street is dec
orated with flags and bunting. Every
street is lined with decorations. In
the square are four beauUful col
umns, with a large electrically
lighted sign reading "Welcome."
Highspire is welcoming to-day and
to-morrow the ninety men who left
the borough to tight in the ranks of
Uncle Sam's Army in Europe. Of
the ninety, only one was killed.
Others re-enlisted, some have ndt
returned from the Army, but a good
number of the ninety will be the
guests of honor at one of the largest
affairs ever staged in the borough
of Highspire.
Since this morning visitors have
been flocking into the borough. Trol
ley cars from Harrisburg are
crowded and visitors are pouring
in from all sections of the State. A
regular old home day it is, for every
one with even the slightest connec
tion with the borough seems anxious
to participate in the great events.
The town is outdoing itself in its
attempt to fittingly honor those of
her sons who offered themselves to
their, country.
School Children Drill
The first feature of the day will be
a drill by the school children of
Highspire. The kiddies will be
dressed in costumes of the national
colors. The drill will start at 1.30
on the playgrounds at Second and
Grant streets, and will be given
under the direction of Lieut. E. L.
Manning. The playgrounds are being
purchased by the borough as a mem
orial to the soldiers in whose honor
the celebration is being given. The
grounds are centrally located and
will be a splendid memorial. Suf
ficient money has already been sub
scribed to purchase tho lot and to
equip it as a modern playground.
The football game later in the day
will be played on this ground.
The Big Parade
The parade will be one of the
largest ever held in the borough
and will include six bands and a
drum corps. It will move promptly
at 2 o'clock, in five divisions as fol
lows:

coffee, and the committee in charge
has promised that there will be
plenty of it.
Community Sing
Shortly after 7 o'clock there is to
be a community 3ing in front of St.
Peter's Lutheran Church. The
singing will be conducted by George
W. Cover. The program for the sing
has not been announced, but it is
understood that the committee has
some pleasant surprises in store for
those who attend.
One might well think that this
would be a sufficient program for
one day, but the day will not be
completed until after a reception
and entertainment to the boys in
the fire enginehouse. The commit
tee in charge of this last thing of the
day has refused to tell what- is go
ing to happen in the flrehouse.
Said one of the committee, "We are
just going to make those boys enjoy
themselves."
Sunday's Program
Special patriotic services will be'
held in all of the Hlghspire churches
on Sunday morning. The veterans
will be asked to attend the church
of their choice. Each one of the
pastors has announced a patriotic
sermon and patriotic music for the
morning service.
At 3 o'clock in the afternoon the
chief service of the day will be held
in St. Peter's Lutheran Church, in
which all the ministers of town Will
participate. The program follows:

With Me;" benediction, the Rev.
Earnest L. Pee.
To Demobilize Flag
. In the evening the service flag of
the Church of God will be demobil
ized. The service flag contains fif
teen stars. The immobilization will
be rather unique. The service will
be opened with a hymn, "America."
Prayer will be offered by the super
intendent of the Sunday school,
George E. Sides. The Scriptures
will be read by the pastor, the Rev.
Jay C. Forncrook. There will be a
solo by Mrs. Lester Green, to be
followed by an address by the pas
tor. The rollcall will be something
attractive and unique. As each
veteran's name is called he will pin
to a star in the service flag a white
ribbon bearing his name. The flag
will later be stored in the archives
of the congregation. The benedic
tion will follow the Binging of the
"Star Spangled Banner."
Victory Emblems
The bronse medals tnat will be
presented to the veterans at the serv
ice Sunday afternoon are handsome
works of art. Made in the form of
watch fobs, they bear an attractive
patriotic emblem. On the reverse
side are engraved the words: "Pre
sented to in grateful rec-
War, 1917-1918."

There isn t a whole lot of difference between tobacco and bacon when it
comes to making it fit for use. Both have to be subjected to a curing process be
fore they re tasty. Only, tobacco takes a heap more attention.
It's got to age, and sweat, and a lot of other things, and that takes time —if
you let Nature do it. Some folks try to beat Nature to it in time by "special" pro
cesses, but they never catcb up to her on mellowness.
We don't want any of this "special process" tobacco. Only Nature can pro
duce quality good enough for K. 0.
So, tobacco that was gathered 'way back in 1918 is just beginning to pass in

right on maturing in our warehouses, insuring K. 0. smokers of the 29-year-old

The company, as soon as the char
ter is granted and the building fin
ished, will have quarters in the Boyd
building at Locust and Third streets.

almost wholly to the jobbing of den
tal supplies and apparatus, said Mr.
Bennett this morning, "but even
tually we will branch out into the
manufacture and sale of all manner
of surgical supplies. Our dealings
will be with the dentist and surgeon
exclusively, it not being our pur
pose to retail in any manner. We
will have a complete line of goods
and our location,.just opposite the
Post Office, will make it pbssible fori
us to ship orders almost the minute'
they are received. There is no busi
ness just like it in Harrisburg."

their demands that the issue of the

ively through their chosen represen

day to report back the resolutions on
this subject when the conference re
convenes Monday.
The resolutions drawn by the la
bor, public and the employers' group,
respectively, were sent to the com

and that nothing was to be gained by
further postponement of a decision.

how employes should be represented
in negotiations with the employers,
members of the jmblic group in the
committee submitted several amend
mtnts to the two resolutions to-day.
One proposal was that labor rep
resentatives be duly "certified" after
a fair vote of the employes.
