Palmyra Industry Expands Machines as Roads Faulted
A. R. Kreider Hosiery Company Palmyra orders fifteen knitting machines after installing twelve more recently to handle a heavy workload. The Palmyra Citizen urges road improvements from the cross roads at Palmyra west to the Hershey road, noting tolls on the B and D Pike and poor conditions on Snavely hill and local routes to Campbelltown. The piece also notes deer shipments to Pennsylvania, Lancaster population estimates, beekeeping legislation, Lebanon hospital and bank news, and tax assessments for Cornwall and Lebanon Railroad property.

Pigeons’ Sense of Smell Guides Home in Experiments
A French scientist tested sight hearing and smell loss to find which sense guides homing pigeons. Wax blocking ears and eyes didn’t prevent return, while sealing nostrils rendered them helpless. Local odor cues help pigeons chart a course home. Balloon flights by Lawson and Stavens showed pigeons reaching high altitudes before returning, suggesting they relearn bearings by smell.
