Dauphin Farmers
Make an Extensive
Trip on Thursda y
See Potato Demonstration at Shenk
Farm. Inspect Modern-Poultry
House at Gingrich Farm and
Alfalfa Field at Curry Farm
Members of the Dauphin County Agri-cultural
Extension Association, their fami-lies
and their friends met Thursday morn-ing
at the farm of Howard Cummings,
Millersburg, and started on a farm tour
that was to require the entire day, during
which time virtually every phase of farm-ing
in the county was to be seen. More
than twenty automobiles were required to
carry the party, which included more than
100 persons. " .
At the Cummings orchard farm, a half-mile
north of Millersburg, shortly after 8
o'clock Thursday morning, the fanners
saw_ the day's first demonstration. It was
an interesting farm orchard management
exhibition in which the spectators results
of farm orchard management.
From Millersburg the group motored to
Halifax^ where the alfalfa fields of J. M.
Pentz were visited. An alfalfa demon-stration
there furnished considerable in-terest.
No less interesting -were an orchard
demonstration and the inspection of a two-year
orchard fertilizer test at the farm of
Maurice Kemerer, a neighbor of Pentz.
Swinging into the southern end of the
county, the touring farmers arrived at
Middletown in time for a dinner at Hoffer's
Park at noon.
Before leaving Middletown the group
was to visit the Lytic Brothers farm,
where a sweet clover pasture demonstra-tion
for dairy cows was to be witnessed.
The remainder of the afternoon's iti-nerary
called for visits to the farms of A.
B. Shenk at Vian; Clayton Gingrich,
Hershey; Irwin Curry, Swatara Station;
Edward Bolton, Hummelstown, and
Bonnymead, near Harrisburg.
Late Potatoes
At the Shenk farm late potatoes were
featured in an interesting demonstration,
which included a fertilizer test and seed
source and spraying versus dusting exhi-bitions.
Distance-in-row planting of late
potatoes were inspected.
The construction of a modern poultry
house, which was designed to meet the
needs of the average farm, was inspected
at the Gingrich farm. He furnished the
farmers with detailed cost of the construc-tion
of the house, which was to take care
of from 300 to 400 chickens. He also dis-played
a litter of eight Duroc-Jersey pigs
which will become a ton of pork within 180
days.
An inspection was made of the Hershey
Industrial School.
At the Curry farm an alfalfa field that
has been cropped for six years was visited.
Nearby, at the Bolton farms, the party was
shown hogs on pasture, 250 capons and the
result of raising chicks on the Wisconsin
ration. A barn that has been recon-ditioned
for an accredited herd of cattle
was inspected.
The itinerary was planned by a special
committee consisting of Aaron Erdman,
chairman; Elroy BaKer, George Dockey,
George Reisner and Dr. H. M. Kirk-patrick.
County Agent R. R. Burtner
was in charge.
Upwards of 100 farmers and their fami-lies
made the tour in more than a score of
automobiles. Dr. E. L. Nixon, plant
pathologist at State College, accompanyed
the farmers, giving talks at each of the
stopping places. R. R. Burtner, county
agent for extension service, and Frank P.
Snaveiy, of Hummelstown, president of
the county farmers' association, were also
among the party.
DAUPHIN AS FARM COUNTY
This week's tour of their own and nearby
county farms by the farm men and women
of Dauphin County, tells of a romance that
sifts around agricultural methods that have
put this county well to the fore of ad-vanced
farm counties of the State, says the
Harrisburg Patriot.
It has not been so many years ago that
Dauphin County was regarded by experts
as a bit backward agriculturally. All that
has changed. In that change the old
county farm agent has played a large part
plus readiness of farmers to accept ap-proved
methods, no matter how revolu-tionary.
All this must be very gratifying to every-body,
considering that agricultural is fun-damental
even in this industrial and' com-mercial
age. It must be especially gratify-ing
to those pioneers within and without
the farm ranks who for years struggled to
have adopted the county farm agent idea
and to encourage farmers generally to
come up to the minute.
While agriculture is far from that state
its importance deserves, there is no cause
for pessimism when it shows its capacity to
develop as it has in this county. In Dau-phin
County, agriculture has demonstrated
its capacity to meet an emergency and
make great progress.

APPLE CROP TOO LARGE
The apple crop In tho northeastern part
of the State is so large this year that the
fruit is rotting on the trees and on the
ground beneath them. The elder mills
cannot absorb the huge crop, which haa
not been such a bumper yield since the
year 1009.
Confessions of a Music Lover
I've heard old violins
Play melodies so mellow,
They twined like vines
Round the soul of a fellow;
And they made him yearn to be
Something better than he was
And they made him long to do
- Deeds a movie hero does.
I've heard a violin.
Played by a gay old timer, -
Yield tunes than which
Nothing could be sublimer;
The philosophy of life
Was embodied in the strains
That fell from that old bow
Like soft soothing summer rains.
I've heard great singers, yes,
Bass to coloratura ;
At three A. M.
I have heard on the bureau
My alarm clock's rousing ring,
I've got up and wrung its neck—
But the music I love best
Is "Enclosed herewith find check."
We overslept this A. M. when we came
down stairs we attempted putting our
specks on bottom sideup. Something
vitally wrong somewhere, something vitally
wrong.
Appeal for Succor
We have been leafing the dictionary and
we find yie word succor which seems to
mean help. We have been appealing for
sometime to suckers who would like to see
themselves in print but somehow we don't
seem to have any success in drawing unto
us the great minds of the community. We
have not the shadow of a doubt but that
there are better columnists, poets, honest-to-
John humorists in this community than
ours truly, but to get them to write a con-trib
to this column, that is a car with
another license. These latent literary
geniuses whom we have so cordially in-vited
on several occasions to see them-selves
in print seem to follow the idea that
Dee Jay is getting paid for writing, let him
do his own dirty work.-
Now that is not the proper attitude at
all. These enlightened minds, instead of
putting their candles under bushels Mould
let their good works shine before men, if
you get what we mean. So we take this
means of appealing once more for suckers,
confound it, we mean succor, and we hope
that next week the mail box at 76 West
Derry Road will be running over with
contributions.
Appeal for More Succors
We have another week of vacation com-ing
to us during which time we propose
giving humorous lectures. This gentle
sport will yield us twenty-five dollars the
evening. We are easily worth more, but
to show we are a good sport, that is to be
our remuneration until further notice. We
have the thing all doped out, twenty-five
dollars a night; six nights, one hundred
fifty dollars. Naturally the thought in-trudes,
Dee Jay, if you can make twenty-five
dollars a night why don't you lecture
every night, and you would soon be able to
lift some of your bad checks which authori-ties
class as among your best literary
efforts. The idea gains on us. What we
need, though, is a booker. We contem-plate
writing to George Washington's
brother, Booker T. Or is he beyond reach
of mortal pen? Anyhow we ought to have
a booker. Then it occurs to us we can be
our own booker and advertise we are now
available to the humor loving American
public for the paltry sum of twenty-five
dollars the night. So, folks, consider the
announcement made.
Now, as our mail box is not the balloon
type it will be well if contributors time
their communications to reach us the last
three working days of the week, and appli-cants
for our services as lecturer the first
three working days of the week. Just by
the way of lightening the burdens of the
letter carrier as we always try to think of
the other fellow, and as we said above, our
mailbox is none too big.
The Social Inanities
Somehow we can't enjoy them. The
cut and dried remarks about the weather,
the same tiling a hundred times a day.
Some people say, "It's a nice day " with all
the air of Sir Isaac Newton discovering the
law of gravitation or Columbus discovering
America. They act as though they know
something very nice and want you to know
it, too. We envy those people. Our ina-bility
to tell someone what he knows
already, brands us at times as a blithering
idiot and makes us very unhappy indeea
It seems to us sometimes that we were
born in the wrong century. We should
have lived among the Spartans where
words Were as scarce as hen's teeth.
"You don't know how to appreciate me",
said the Village Sheik.
"Oh yes I do," replied the Girl in Blue,
"I always appreciate a good joke.
No Use at All
Says Old Lige Tate of Skunks Corners.
"What's the use of having your car paid
for if the neighbors don 't know it?"
Too Good to Be True
The other evening we went to sleep deep
in the pondering of our coining lecture
tour ana of the monetary benefits to accrue
therefrom. So it was only natural that
our dreams should be pleasant. We went
to the l-aiicnster Fair. After wandering
about for a time, we espied a crowd of
people gathered about a committee that
was drawing lots from a huge box. They
called out a numl>er and us luck would have
it that number was ours. So it was with
joyful heart lliut wo stcpixxl forward amid
the cheers of the multitude and received
our twenty-five thousand dollars ^ We
counted the money over and over, twenty-five
thousand in .thousand dollar bibs.
It's too good to lie true , we told everyone.
The next morning when we arose the
missus wanted to know if we would got
postage stumps that day. "Certainly,"
said we; "if Hob Sattazahn can change one
of these thousand dollar bills. We
reached in our pocket. Our roll was Gonel
And father had always told us to keep the
door locked. It was as we hud dreampt
it, too ibxxI to l>e true. So after this,
don 't tell us that dreams never come true ,
because they made good for us all right
enough. Wo drcumpl our dream was too
good to bo true , and sure enough it was.

Lancaster Newspaper
Finds Dauphin County
Home is Well Mana ged
Saves Taxpayers $15,000 a Year By
Employing Jail Labor. Per Capita
Cost 81 cents. Has 225 Inmates
Is Home-like Institution
Much has been said in Lancaster re-cently
about unsatisfactory conditions at
the Lancaster County Home, and the
stigma of the State Department of Wel-fare's
"clean-up order" still hangs over
that institution. As a result the Lancas-ter
New Era looked about to find a nearby
county home which meets all the require-ments
of the State Department and which
is efficiently handling the same problems
under much the same conditions as the
Lancaster -institution. The Dauphin
County Hospital, near Harrisburg, is the
answer to this'search for information.
It was found that the Dauphin county
hospital—called a "hospital" because it
includes both the sick and the well indigent
poor—spends practically the same amount
of money per inmate as the Lancaster
county almshouse. It was found that the
class of persons handled in the Dauphin
home is the same as that in Lancaster.
The number of persons cared for is about
twice the number averaged at Lancaster
county home. The number of salaried
attendants and paid assistants is about six
times the number in the Lancaster county
institution. And the result is that the
Dauphin county home is immaculately
clean, the inmates are cheerful, neat, and
busy with little duties, the meals served
arc more ample, have more variety, and
are better relished by the old people, and
the whole place is homelike. The per
capita cost is 81 cents.
Every One Must Work
How does Dauphin County spend its 81
cents per person per day? Well, first of
all, everybody must work—that means
real work, not just sitting around expecting
others to do their share," said the sui)cr-intendent
of that institution to the New
Era reiwrters. "It means system," and
we here are availing ourselves of one from
of lalwr which Lancaster County has the
same privilege of using that we have—
county jail labor. We are saving the tax-payers
of Dauphin County $15,000 a year
by employing jail labor to get some of our
work done, and it is good lalwr, too. It is
satisfactory to us, and of immense benefit
to the convicts themselves; they nsk to be
sent here, and we have a regular system of
co-operation with the warden of the jail
whereby ho sends us, on honor, men and
women who can lit into our work schedule.
If they can't or won't do their work, we
send them hack , but as a rule we have no
trouble." Thin is the only county hospital
In Pennsylvania availing itself of the state
provision for tho use of jail lalxir . Only
convicts with loss than 5-year terms are
taken.
Is a Good Manager
Christian 15, Etnoyor is a good manager;
the Z'iO-acre farm and 225 inmates at
Harrisburg prospered under his eight-year
administration. Mrs. Etnoycr is a
good matron : the place Is clean, the sick
are well cared for, tho feeble are busy with
such little duties as thoy ore able to do—
and she sees to it that everylxxly that can
help, does no. Tho pay-roll is not high
because she sees to it that every available
bit of labor is made use of.
Tho lalx>r Is arranged as follows: An
average of 24 prisoners, mostly men, are
employed alxmt the farm , butcher shop,
grounds, and for housework; Hi men and
women, who are inmates of the institution
and strong enough to do some work , but
not able tawim livings for themselves out
in the world , ore1 paid $5, $10, and in one
instance $15 a month for regular services
about the Institution ; the paid staff , in-cluding
nurses, watchman , ward attend-ants,
and the superintendent and bis wife,
with salaries from $25 u month up, num-ber
12. A Harrisburg physician visits the
hospital every other day, and is on call at
all liours; a nurse Is resident and on duty
daily In the disixmsary. Such duties as
mending are in charge of an inmate who
receives five dollars a month for taking
charge of that work, and has unpaid in-mates
to assist her. Another unpaid In-mate
makes up all the beds in his ward ,
and docs It beautifully, taking great pride
in his work.

Lutheran Sunday
School to Picnic
at Long's Park
Will Motor to Lancaster on Friday,
August 27. Plans Made for
Big Day. Others Invited
to Attend The Picnic
' The Holy Trinity Lutheran Sunday
School will picnic at Long's Park, Lancas-ter,
on Friday, August 27th. The pic-nickers
will go by automobile.
Long's Park, which has been reserved for
the Lutherans, is an ideal place to hold an
outing. There is a small lake for boating
purposes, children's playground, tennis
courts and golf links. Adjoining the Park
is a swimming pool, with a chute. A few
feet f urther toward Lancaster is the Lan-caster
Fair grounds, which is open this
week, closing on Friday evening.
To those who are unable to make suit-able
transportation arrangements, the
committee wishes to state that the Cones-toga
Transit Co. run busses to Long's
Park daily on a schedule.
There are more than sufficient cars to
provide transportation for everyone going
to the picnic, and the committee request all
owners of cars, particularly those who are
enabled to take others than their own
family, to invite those who do not have
transportation facilities.
Marion Davies in
"Beverly of Graustark "
at Park Next Week
She Plays a Modern Romantic Girl.
Antonio Moreno Has Male Lead In
This Super Romantic Picture
Marion Davies, heroine of many ro-mantic
roles, is playing one unlike any in
her entire career, in her new Cosmopolitan
production, "Beverly of Graustark," which
will be seen at the Hershey Park Theatre
on Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday of
next week.
Miss Davies has played romantic hero-ines
in historica dramas of the past; has
been the center of court intrigues in me-diaeval
times, has played roles laid in the
infancy of New York—-but this time she is
playing the romantic center in a European
court intrigue—but of the modern day.
Royalty goes through its devious politi-cal
bargainings and its Burbanked roman-ces—
just as in the days of "When Knight-hood
Was in Flower"—but it is all strictly
up-to-date—so much so that a good deal of
modern history is, perhaps unconsciously,
echoed in the story, which is a spectacular
adaptation of George Barr McCutcheon's
famous novel.
Miss Davies plays the heroine, an Ameri-can
girl, cousin to the crown prince of a
European kingdom, who to aid her royal
relative, engages in a daring masquerade,
in which, in his uniform, and with her hair
dipped short, she impersonates him to foil
the plot of a pretender to the throne. Miss
Davies' male masquerade is one of the
wonders of the screen, so perfect is the
illusion. In her uniform, the star is almost
a double for the Prince of Wales.
A notable cast surrounds the star, with
Antonio Moreno in the leading male role,
Roy D'Arcy, Creighton Hale, Paulette
Duval, Albert Gran, Max Barwyn, Charles
Clary and others.
Sidney Franklin, director of many of
Norma and Constance Talmadge's suc-cesses,
directed the picture, which was
produced on a lavish scale, with gorgeous
settings and costumes, at the Metro-
Goldwyn-Mayer studios. Agnes Christine
Johnston is the scenarist.
P.O. S. of A. Hold
Convention
at Philadelphia
Discuss Blue Law of 1794 and Calls
For Its Revision
Pennsylvania'a* blue laws of 1794 are
antiquated and inadequate, declared Orrin
E. Boyle, State president of the Patriotic
Order Sons of America, which opened its
annual convention at Philadelphia on
Monday. Mr. Boyle made special refer-ence
to the existing Sunday Sesqui-Ccn-tennial
question and recommended the
drafting of a new law outlining specially
those things that must not be done on the
Sabbath.
"The law of 1794 should be wiped from
the statute books," he said, "and a new
law drafted ." "If the law was now en-forced
to the letter many of those now
crying for its enforcement might be con-victed
under it. The operation of auto-mobiles
for pleasure, the holding of con-certs
for aesthetic purposes and recreation
in every form are banned under this an-cient
law.
"To continue this act is to wink at and
encourage n violation of the law. One of
of the dangers today to American institu-tions
is the passage of laws that thousands
violate with impunity and which are ac-cepted
by enormous groups as not seriously
offensive."
Dr. Keynell Contes, Slate chaplain said:
"The question now stirring Philadelphia
and the heart of every citizen , that of the
open Sabbath , comes from the desire of
immigrants to graft iij xm the United States
the open Sunday of Euro|x}, arid the desire
of the politicians to grant their wishes for
their own personal gain.
Washington at tho Battle of Mon-mouth
gave tho order. "Place none but
Americans on guard tonight", and woof the
Patriotic Order Sons of America answer by
saying that Americans are on guard to-night."

Reign of St. Swithin
Ends; It Rained
on 29 Days
St. Swithin'8 Reign Ended Tuesday,
But Rain Continues Just the Same
Weather Prophets State That Sun
Will Again Have Its Inning
On Tuesday evening the first time in ten
days, a glorious sunset colored the western
skies. After the sun had gone down,
Jupiter, the evening star for the period was
seen for the first time in more than two
weeks. *
• And to make the night ideal after so long
a period of cloudy darkness the moon shone
forth almost full. Thus ended the long
siege of rain- following the rain on St.
Swithin's Day, July 15.
And St. Swithin is blamed for the twen-ty-
nine days of rain during the forty-day
period.
' Art old English saying is responsible for
fixing the blame on the old saint. The
adage says: "If it rains on St. Swithin's
day there will be rain more or less for forty
succeeding days."
According to an old legend Swithin was
chaplain to King Egbert in England in the
middle of the Ninth Century. He was the
tutor of Prince Ethelwolf, later the King of
England and had direct charge of the
education of King Albert whom he later
accompanied to Rome.
When Ethelwolf ascended the throne he
appointed Swithin chancellor and the Pope
consecrated him Bishop of Winchester.
At his death on July 8, 862, he requested
that his body be buried in the open church-yard
where the: rain could drip on him. But
the monks, thinking that it was disgraceful
for a saint to rest in an open churchyard
with other persons, decided to move his
body to the choir of the cathedral. They
set July 15 as the day for a solemn pro-cession
and the removal of the body.
But on the morning of July 15 a violent
storm started that' lasted forty days. This
overawed the monks and they decided to
leave the body resting in the churchyard
and built a shrine over it.
Sea Horses to Ride
On Hershey Park
Screen This Week
Dynamic Melodrama of Love and
Adventure Based on Popular Best
Seller
The Hershey Park Theatre will have an
exceptionally fine film attraction on Thurs-day,
Friday and Saturday of this week,
when Paramount's cinema version of
Francis Brett Young's widely read novel
"Sea Horses," makes its local debut. For
those who like vigorous melodrama tinc-tured
with love interest and moving midst
scenes of tropic color and beauty, this
photoplay will fill the bill from soup to nuts
Much is expected from "Sea Horses,"
for Mr. Young's story, which Becky Gardi-ner
adapted and James Hamilton scenar-ized,
is rich in action, drama, romance and
suspense, and lends itself admirably to
visualization on the screen.
There is the added factor of a notable
cast, which numbers amongst its personnel
such popular and capable players as Jack
Holt, Florence Vidor, George Bancroft
and William Powell.
The production-has several spectacular
features, which set a new high-water mark
for realism and thrill. Among these is
cited a stirring fist fight , an exciting battle
in which several hundred natives take
part, a raging sea storm, and a cyclonic
tropical tornado.
The story centers about a lovely and
charming English girl, who, with her little
daughter , sets sail on an ocean freighter
which is headed for an out-of-the-way port
on the East African coast. There she
hopes to join iier handsome, romantic
husband , who deserted her a year after
their marriage.
Her presence on board the ship has an
electrifying effect on the rough crew and
officers. The burly mate and the youthful
third officer eventually come to blows over
her, and even the captain finds himself
yielding to her unconscious charms. What
happens when she finds her husband has
degenerated into a dirty, drunken beach-comber,
and the development of her sub-sequent
romance with the sea captain
forms the largest and most gripping part of
the production .
