He advises an inexpens ve home

Gargle the throat as directed

The Public Service Commission to
day ordered abolition of four grade
crossings on the State main high
way east of Erie and the construc
tion of a subway at Harbor Creek
Station. The opinion, which was
written by Commissioner John S.
Rilling, disposes of proceedings
which were begun when complaint
was made against crossings of the
New York Central, Nickle Plate and
other railroads and the Buffalo and
Lake Erie Traction company and
East Erie Commercial railroad de
sired to make certain crossings. The
opinion relocates highways and
makes various orders for changes
which will amount to approximately
$319,075.90. The Commercial line
| is to pay $24,640; traction company,
' $14,744; State Highway Department,
$20,502; Public Service Commission,
$10,000; New York Central, $97,032;
Nickle Plate, $44,332; Harborcroek
township, $15,400 and Erie county,
$101,319. The commission also or
ders payments by the various parties
to the county for shares of the im
provement.
Men appointed mercantile ap
praisers by Auditor General Charles
A. Snyder, last night, will be sent in
structions immediately by C. W. My
ers, chief of the county bureau, to
whom they will report. One of the
prime requisites will be a prompt re
port. The appraisers will start their,
I work within a few days and collec
tions will begin about the same time
as heretofore.
Attaches of the State Highway
Department's automobile division
have had so many applications for
license tags in the last twenty-four
hours that there may be an exter.--
sion of time granted.
Senator Max E. Leslie, of Pitts
burgh, was a visitor here yesterday.
The first complete compilation of
the production of alfalfa in Pennsyl
vania by counties shows that Cam
eron, Clinton, Forest, Lackawanna
and Union are the only counties
which did not raise this type of hay
during 1919 and that the aggregate
production for the State was 176,773
tons against 9,154 tons in 1909, the
acreage being 62,214 in 1919 and the
average production 2.84 tons per
acre. Chester is the leading alfalfa
county with 6,995 acres and 20,985
tor., Berks being next with 15,734
tons and Northampton and Lancas
ter following in the order named.
Dauphin raised 2,793 tons; Cumber
land, 6373; Perry, 1,966; Lebanon,
6,513; Juniata, 114; Franklin, 5,255;
Adams, 315; Mifflin, 499, and Sny
der, 86.
The State Highway Department
has revoked the paid driver's auto
mobile license of Clark Cover, Ship
pensburg, for a year because of con
viction of reckless driving.
According to figures issued by the
statistical bureau of the Department
of Agriculture, Pennsylvania is a
close competitor with Wisconsin and
Minnesota for third place as a po
tato raising state. New York is first
and Michigun second. This State is j
credited with 26,000 bushels.
Charles Lee, of Wood Hill, Bucks.
! county, who pleaded guilty to
charges of having violated the auto
mobile law of June 30, 1919, has
been sent to the penitentiary for
three to five years on several indict- j
ments. The Bucks County Court in
pronouncing sentence told Lee that |
I if he were again brought into court j
jon similar charges he would be .
sent to' the penitentiary "for the]
rest of his natural life." Pennsyl- *
: vania Courts are uniting in inflict- |
ing severe punishment on those who •
violate the automobile law. The j
particular sections of the automo- j
| bile law violated by Lee were those
' requiring that dealers in second-,
, hand cars have a license issued by |
the State Highway Department; and, ,
second, having in his possession a
motor vehicle on which the identi
fication number had been removed,
as covered by Section No. 7.
From what is said at the Capitol,
Frank B. McClain will assume his
duties as fair price commissioner
with very little delay. The Gov
ernor's recommendation has been
concurred in by the Attorney Gen- |
eral at Washington.
"Tuny" Freuie. who lias been 111,
has been welcomed back to the Cap
itol by officials and attaches of the
legislative offices.
Berks county commissioners have
sent word here that they will make
a bond issue of over a quarter of a
million for road improvements
Immediate steps are to be taken
to inspect the engine of the Lancas
ter, New Oxford and Southern Rail
road in Lancaster county so that if
possible the road can be run until
formal permission to abandon it can
be given.
Governor Sproul's advice to teach
ers to take a greater interest in .
politics in the address he made to!
the State educators yesterday at- :
traeted much comment and the J
teachers are likely to follow it. j
McCain's Tribute to
John S. Fisher |
Col. George Nox McCain writes in
the Philadelphia Evening Ledger; |
"Candidates for the various State I
offices to be nominated next year are I
springing up like tulips in April. John j
S. Fisher,' Commissioner of Banking, |
is among those 'talked of in connec- I
tion with the office of Auditor Gen- I
eral. He is a member, as the State !
knows, of that exceptional body of |
men which comprises the cabinet of .
Governor "W. C. Sproul; exceptional
in the fact that every one of them,
who has occupied public office prior
to his appointment as a cabinet offi
cial, had the reputation of being a
'clean' man. I mean 'clean' in the
sense that no intimation has ever I
been made that affected their per-.
sonal integrity or political clean
handedness.
"Fisher was raised on a farm not 1
far from that on which John P. El- |
kin was born and raised. Like most i
farm boys, he attended county j
school, then taught, and finally, ;
when he was 17 years of age, en-1
tered the Indiana State Normal j
School. It was a clear case of mak- |
ing his own way in life and for seven
years after graduation he taught!
school, reading law at nights and at
such odd times that he could spare |
from his duties as a teacher. His
opportunity came when he was I
chosen principal of the Indiana high I
school, which afforded him the op- |
portunity of reading law with Samuel
Cunningham, who was then one of:
the leading members of the bar of j
that county. I
"Later on he formed a partnership ]
with his perceptor, began taking an ]
interest in politics, and in 1900 was i
elected State Senator from the |
Thirty-seventh district. He was re- j
elected, then went back to the prac- !
tice of law in 1908.
"The State Banking Commissioner |
is quiet, unassuming and disinclined
to the spotlight. In this respect he :
is like most of the other members j
of Governor Sproul's cabinet."
Foster and Maurer
Attend Banquet Where
'Red' Songs Were Sung
New York, Dec. 31.—The Inter
collegiate Socialist Society closed its
three-day convention last night with j
a banquet at which revolutionary ]
songs and addresses were made by!
well known radicals. There were
about 450 members of the society;
present, who claimed to be graduates
from seventy different colleges;
throughout the country.
The popular song of the evening
was "the Red Flag," sung to the air
of "Maryland, My Maryland."
William Z. Foster .secretary of |
the National Steel Strike Commit
tee, and James H. Maurer, president I
of the Pennsylvania State Federa-]
tion of Labor, in addresses appealed j
for funds for the Striking steel work- ,
ers:
An attack on various colleges on ]
the ground that they have establish- 1
ed a censorship to prevent students ;
learning "the truth about the great j
mass movement toward Industrial 1
democracy," was the feature of the ]
executive sessions of the convention,
according to a statement issued by !
Harry W. Laidler, secretary of the i
society. He said delegates reported I
that, the college of the City of New I
York had refused permission for
Frederick C. Howe, former immigra- I
tion commissioner at Ellis Island,
Oswald Garrison Villard, Dudley,
Field Malone and the Rev. John
Haynes Holmes, to address the stu
dents. i

though he wus the only candidate for
justice of the peace In Highland town

J. Larry Hill, who lives near Fair

of that fact the Highland township
