COPPER CROUP RECOBBEB
Rise la Metal Shares Has Its Baais
la Prospective Increased Divi
dends—Trade Becomes Dull To
ward End of the First Hour
By Associated Press,
Now York, May 27.—Wa1l Street.
—Very material advances, chiefly in
the copper group were recorded at the
outset of to-day'g dealings iu stocks.
The riee in the metal shares, which had
its basis in prospective increased divi
dends, averaged a point er more. War
stocks, including WestinghouSe, Cruci
ble Steel and the locomotive issues also
made gome giins. Reading was the
only railway investment stocks to
as much as a point. Ix>eal tractions,
yesterday's strong feature, rose 1 to
1 1-2. Canadian , Pacific made only
slight rcsponso to its strength in the
London market.
The market manifested more vari
able tendencies towards the end of the
first hour, trading becoming dull and
prices in numerous instances shading
appreciably. There was another recov
ery from this movement, under leader
ship of U. S. Steel but fresh selling in
duced in part bv a point decline in
Canadian Pacific resulted in a second
reversal. Renewal of liquidation in
minor railways caused Rock Island to
make a new low record, with further
weakness iii the debentures. Missouri
Pacific fell a point on rumors affecting
the note extension •plan. Bonds were
steady.

Greatly Pleased With
Work Accomplished
On the First Good
Roads Day
DRANKLEMONADE
FROM TIN CUP
Dr. Brumbaugh Declared One of His
Chief Aims Is to Make Pennsylva
nia's Highways Bost In Country
Before His Administration ludu
"from now until tin- end of my
term it will be my aim to improve ami
ha-\e kept in guotl condition the roads
ol Pennsylvania," said Governor
Brumbaugh last evening at the close
of as strenuous a day as has fallen to
his lot in years. He was 011 his way
home from the journey of 120 miles
over the roads 01 the Cumberland Val
ley, during which he five times took a
hand in tne work of road repairing,
and he was very well satisfied with the
results of "UOJII Koaiis Day." To use
the Governor's words ho was "tired,
dirty and happy/' but he had perform
ed his duty on the roads along with
many thousand of other good citizens.
Tne gubernatorial party got back
from its road tour of the valley laat
evening at 7 o'clock, after having put
in a full day of ten hours. The last
stop made by the Governor was iu
Newton township, Cuiuberland county,
where the male folk of the township
had turned out to tone down a par
ticularly dangorous hill that has been
a menace to travel for years. Twenty
seven men were found at work, taking
out stones, grubbing roots and digging
ditches, and a brand new shovel had
been saved for the Governor.
He was not at all backward in
graspiivg it, and his vigorous wielding
made the dirt fly as he helped to fill
several w ago lie. Then the Governor
called upon those iu his party,
iucluding the newspapermen, photo
graphers and all, to get to work and
do some shoveling, and they got busy.
Last of all the Governor got hold of
a grubbing hoe and ax and aided in
taking out a lot of ugly looking roots
from the road way.
Lemonade From Big Tin Cup
"1 used to do this when I wa« a
boy," said the Governor, "and I have
not forgotten how.''
The women of the township had
provided a great bucket of lemonade,
and the Governor very democratically
made use of'the big tin dipper to re
fresh himself. Leaving the Newton
farmers the Governor accompanied Wil
liam Dunlap to his farm house where
he was given a welcome and "later
posed for a photograph which includ
ed Mr. and Mrs. Dunlap aud Miss Dun
lap, the Governor insisting thit the
young woman wear her immense sun
bonnet. Before leaving the Dunlap
home the Governor was given a great
bouquet of spring flowers which he
brought with him to the Executive
Mansion.
There were no tit re stops on the
way home, and the party arrived in
Harri&burg at 7 o'clock, the Governor
fairly radiant with satisfaction over
the success of his first "(food Roads
Day." Ho has announced his intention
of having a similar observance of the
day every year of his term, and said
that he hopes to have the roads of
Pennsylvania, second to none by the
time he is called upon to leave the
executive chair.

highways improvement work between

The Gullible Cow
Two little ({iris walking through a
field were afraid of a cow. Said one
o;' them. "Let's go right on and act
as if we were not afraid at all." "But
wouldn't that be deceiving the cow?"
the other little girl expostulated.
We smile at" this bit of conscientious
ness, but we love the little* girl for it.
She would be uneasy in regard to Da
vid's deception of the Philistines, and
most of us wish fhat, like Moses, he
had gone down into the Sinai country,
rathev than place himself in a position
where he had to act a lie.—The Chris
tian Herald.
The Harrisbnrg Hospital is open
daily except Sunday, between 1 anil
