FAKE STOCKS mHE CHAMBER OF COM I MERCE, through information 1 provided by the Harrisburg Telegraph, was able to do a good turn for the people of Halifax and vicinity when a stock sales man dropped into that town re cently to trade on the name of a popular motor car in the hope of organizing a company there to employ 2,500 people in manufacture of automobiles." The scene was all set for the stock subscription campaign when Charles a Baker, representative businessman of Halifax and mem her of the State Legislature, got into touch with the Telegraph. Reporters were unable to pin the pro moter down to anything aennue, and the stock sales department of the Chamber got into action. Result the organizer of the bi automobile company left town, minus any of the money of Halifax people who might have been in duced to invest In the hope of help ins the town industrially. The Chamber of Commerce does much work of this kind that never comes to the attention of the public Within the past few months it has placed information in the hands of Harrisburg people that has enabled them to avoid investments of doubtful value. Thousands upon thousands of dollars go out of Harrisburg every year in the pockets of men who have nothing to offer in return out promises and stock certificates.

This money ought to stay at home. There are many good investments to be had right here in this city, where the investor can see what is fceing done with his money and participate in the management of the industry employing it. There would be general thanksgiving if the English do to the Turk what we do to the turk ey every Thanksgiving. A FRUIT EXHIBIT OFFICERS of the West Harrisburg Market House Company, owners of the "Broad Street Markets," which curiously enough are located in Verbeke street, have done a generous thing in donating the use of their structures for a fruit and potato exhibit to be held by growers In the vicinity of Harrisburg. This co operation, between city and country, between townspeople and the farmer, makes for better feeling between the two, and for a mutual understanding of the needs of the consumers and the problems of the producers.

It is to be hoped that the response of the farmers will be such as to warrant the making the exhibit an annual feature of the autumnal season. More fruits and vegetables are grown in this vicinity than can be consumed locally. Many of these are of the finest quality and the effort In recent years has been constantly to improve themy Notwlth are brought here by train and sold in the local 'markets. Sometimes there is excuse for this. Mostly, however, we would he much better off if we bought what is grown at Anything that educates the people to use domestic fruits and vegetables insofar as possible is good for all concerned." THOUSANDS SAVED GOVERNOR SPROUL'S hard coal price proclamation will be instrumental in saving hundreds of thousands of dollars to the people of Pennsylvania In fuel bills the coming winter." The Governor's action is extraordinary; but so is the situation with which the people are confronted.

He acted in a grave emergency, courageously determined to protect the rights of the public from the ravages of profiteers bent upon collecting from the consumer, the ex pense of the anthracite strike. The Governor is careful to point out that not all the operators attempted to take unwarranted advantage of their patrons. Some of them from the first offered full cooperation with the Fuel Commis sion. But a sufficient number were greedy enough to attempt to snatch unwarranted profits from users of anthracite to have seriously dis turbed the market and have made it easy for dishonest merchants to juggle prices. He very properly ex presses his thanks to the operators who played fair and to the retailers and the railroad heads who have promised to do their part.

Of course, there is no specific law by means of which the Governor could bring to book owners or dealers who might decline to follow the recommendations of the proclamation, but it is not likely that any of them would dare risk the unfavorable publicity that would follow, even though so minded. The Governor and the Fuel Com mission jointly have rendered a splendid piece of service to the pub lie They have maintained the prices Of hard coal at the levels of last March, which is far more than even the most hopeful could have anticipated, in the light of what has happened after all previ otis disturbances in the anthracite field. HARRIS FERRY IS, indeed, appropriate that I the newly formed canoeing or ganization should have adopted the name of Harris Ferry Boat Club. It was the river which brought Harris to a halt, at this point. It was the Harris Ferry which brought Harrisburg into being, Without the barrier offered by the Susquehanna and the necessity for providing some systematic means of crossing the turbulent stream re gardless of the height of the water, Harrisburg as a town site would have offered little in the way of advantage over many another and otherwise more favored point in Central Pennsylvania.

But located at a junction point of Indian trails that afterward became roads tra versed by the early settlers, the town grew up about the Ferry, which became a necessity as popu lation increased and was a thriving business enterprise until the con struction of a bridge put It out of business. And as the ferry has given way to the bridge, so has the canoe of the Indians and the ark and raft of the settler given way to the pleasure Craft of to day and all that is left of the early life upon the river is the form of the canoe, which has come down to us almost unchanged in pattern and design from its progenitor, the bark canoe of the Red Man. In adopting that name the Harris Ferry Boat Club brings it self into direct relationship with the thrilling history and the rich traditions of the romantic Susque hanna. WINTER DOCKAGE PKUiii. memoera or the Greater Harrisburg Navy at a conference yesterday discussed the important matter of docking facilities during the winter months for the floating boathousea.

Natural dry docks may be had on the west ern side of Island Park and itsla only reasonable to expect that the municipal body will grant the privilege to those who have been enterprising enough to provide these boathouse facilities for some hundreds of canoeists and those who use the river during the summer. There Is ample space Immediately north of the Walnut street bridge on the west side of the Island for sev eral boathouses and similar space may easily be provided south of the Cumberland Valley Railroad bridge on the same side of the It can hardly be doubted that City standing, thousands of bushels of Council will promptly grant such apples and potatoes, thousands of authority as may be necessary to crates of celery, huge quantities of provide protection during the winter rbbage and much other produce for these important; floats. By the Ei Coamittremaa Late reports from various cities of the State are' showing registra tion on the first two days of Jhe Veriod lo have been so light in both of the major parties that some folks are commencing to wonder whether general lack of interest in the election is not more to blame for the decline, as with registrations on the similar days in the last two years, than anything else. Political leaders have been inclined to show resentment against charges they did not exert them selves, although in Philadelphia the political statisticians are point ing out where some leaders ran up the totals through personal work and where some fell The fact remains the people are pretty well fed up on politics, although the final days will probably produce a heavy registration. It is generally that way.

One estimate made in the Philadelphia North American is that only 350,000 people will register out of 800,000 qualified. The Pittsburgh Gazette Times says 66,000 must register in that city on October to bring the figures where they should be. The Reading Eagle says over 5,000 registered in that city Tues day, but the Scranton Republican declares the registration in the Lackawanna city was light. Mc Keesport, Pottsville and Erie papers comment on light registration, some considering it a disappointment. While much attention has been given to light Republican registration because of the great preponderance of Republican voters, reports on reeistration generally show Democratic voters were just as slow about going to the polls to list their names as the Republicans.

In connection with light registration in Pennsylvania and the light vote cast by Maine Republicans, the Wilkes Barre Record urges some action be considered to make people vote. It remarks: "It is usually the case that many citizens turn out only on occasions of great political excitement, as' in the Presidential contest of two years ago. It is expected that next November the vote wilU be far short of that of 1920, though United states Senators are to be chosen in some of the States, and members of the House in all of the States, be sides local officials. All of the urging to perform the highest civic responsibility that can be conferred upon the citizen seems to ue uj. uv avail.

A law to deprive certain citizens of the right to vote would raise a howl of indignation, yet citizens permit gangs to have their, way and corruption to flourish because they will not do their duty. is no nf the straneest things in political history. A penalty of disfranchisement for a few years for the citizen who refrains from voting would no doubt have a good effect Members of the Shrine Club were advised to register and vote and take an active interest in their government by Colonel David J. Davis, Republican candidate for Lieutenant Governor, at the regular weekly lunclieon of this organization in Philadelphia. "I do not care for whom you vote," Colonel Dav said, "but vote.

A man is not justified in criticizing an administration of government if he has not been instrumental in that administration's institution. And he can be instrumental only through exercising his franchise." Things seem to be quieting down in Berks county. The Reading News Times says: "All is harmony in the Republican ranks. At the meeting of the county committee Wednesday evening the matter of the fall campaign was discussed, af roncements for the election lS't the entire Republican ticket it possible, were made, county umr man Seidel was in the chair.

More complaint is being made by Democratic newspapers about citizens committee experts visiting State offices than on Capitol Hill.

You are absolutely the rudest driver of a car I have ever encountered not to mention the recklessness of your driving. I do not question your right to commit suicide if that is your desire, but I do challenge what you seem to consider your right to endanger the lives of innocent people. I am sorry the reply of the Highway Department to my letter has been either mislaid or destroyed. I would be glad to post it to you. I am inclined to believe that I am not the only one who reported your conduct.

M. H. J. Predicting a Severe Winter From the Scranton Republican. Weather prophets are at it again.

Taking advantage of the fact that there is likely to be a coal shortage they are declaring that all of the signs portend that we are to have an early Fall and a severe Winter whicn will remind of earlier days. It is declared by one exchange that the squirrels and cotton tail rabbits and the Yakima Indians, all have nnifort in foreeastine what the coming weather will be They agree in the main, although the details of their prophesies are dissimilar. For instance, the Indians have it that the Fall will ko vn enriv and the Winter will be long and cold. The squirrels and rabbits are preparing for an early Fall but they do not taxe issue on tne ions Winter declaration. This iripa that dumt) animals and savages can read Nature signs that are concealed from the scientists and from the most learned among men is the yariest non sense.

Brunner, architect of the Capitol Park improvements and creator of some of the famous parks and public grounds of the country, yesterday counselled patience in regard to the work now under way on the western front of the Capitol Park. "I think if people will wait until the work is completed they will be satisfied.

Just at present the park is in a good bit the same sit' iiation as a rose garden that Is being made. Roses cannot be expected for many weeks," he remarked when asked about the condition now prevailing in the park. "As I understand it the contracts have Just been let for the gradinsr and other details of the work at State street and above ana ociow mat entrance. it will be some time before the results begin to show. I think when all is finished the people of Harrisburg and of the State will be satisfied with the conditions.

The driveways were carefully thought out and the elevations established after Consideration for the terracing and grading. Where there are piles of earth there will be terraces and the whole western front will be graded." Mr. Brunner said he was anxious to go ahead with landscaping of the Capitol Park extension, but until funds were available for the letting of contracts it would be impossible to proceed, much as he desired to carry out the program adopted some years ago. "Meanwhile we will make the western front of the park as attractive aa possible," said he. The dry weather has set hard on plantings of celery in this vicinity.

Much of it has been ruined and much of that which remains is stunted. Robert Walton, the Ham melstown grower, had set out 480, 000 stalks and he says that all of it would have been an almost total loss had it not been for an artificial irrigation system which he set up. This system is supplied with water from the Swatara Creek under forced pressure. Pipes pierced with small holes are so placed on fence high posts that they can be turned in any direction. In this manner the water can be thrown on any part of the bed which the pipes are designed to water and abundant moisture is provided.

The stalks which the water failed to reach are dwarfed and of poor quality. The stalks which received the water are the largest Mr. Walton has even grown. He says the expenditure is worthwhile many times over. Dr.

These fish are really a species of salmon, but unlike the salmon they do not die after going up the rivers to spawn. They run from five to seven pounds in weight, sometimes more, and are so gamey that special lines and outfits must be used to take them. Mr.

Men who have been operating night fishing operations under State licenses for gigs and spears say they have noticed more Susque hanna salmon in the wide branch ing river this year than ever before and that the "planting" of these fish by the State Department of Fish eries is commencing to produce results. The river conditions, due to the cessation of mining, has been very favorable to the propagation of this great game fish and the giggera declare the specimens they have seen indicate with another year there should be plenty of them.

SHORT WALKS IN AND ABOUT HARRISBURG Years ago Harrisburg people used to call schoolhouses by names which would not be understood by the younger generation. These names were conferred more by common consent than anything else. Nowadays a school Is formally named, but in the times when one could walk about the schools of Harrisburg in a day the local deslgnaUoni were almost exclusively heard.

Then are people who even to day refei to the Technical High School as thi Lancasterian school because almoa a century ago the school erected where Tech now stands was buili for a school on what waa knowi as the Lancasterian system. It wai a county enterprise and was some times called the County school. Thi school on the site of the rear build ings of the Harrisburg Hospital wa long called the South school and a times the Mulberry.
