WORTH TRYING.
Did you say you have a trouble?
If you wish to make it double,
Just you tell it to your neighbor in a con-
fidental way.
Spread it out where folks can know it,
Let your face and actions show it,
Do not let a soul forget it from the dawn
till close of day.
Would your soul forget its trouble,
Make it vanish like a bubble?
Then you put that little trouble in a closet
out of sight.
Bid it stay there all unheeded,
Say its presence is not needed,
Then you start to work at something that
requires mind and might.
Set yourself to work for others
For your struggling, burdened brothers.
You will find so many burdens heavier
than the one you bear,
That your trifling little trouble
Soon will vanish like a bubble,
And your very self, my brothers, will for-
get ‘twas ever there.

COL. SPANGLER IN THE WEST.
His Work There Well Received by the
Various Labor Unions.
Last week the “Watchman” told
about Col. J. L. Spangler going into
the middle west to assist in arranging
the labor situation so that the farmers
would be able to harvest their big
crops. He spent last week in Du-
buque, Iowa, and this week he has
been in DesMoines, where, by the
way, he ran across Thad Longwell.
Col. Spangler writes that everywhere
he and his associate goes they are
very patriotically received and the
following article from the Dubuque
“Daily Times-Journal” of June 14th
fully bears out his assertion:
One of the most important resolu-
tions presented to and adopted by the
Towa State Federation of Labor in
their convention session on Thursday
was that calling for co-operation be-
tween the laboring men and the
farmers in response to the call of
President Wilson: for a greater and
larger harvest to aid this country in
the world war. The resolution was
presented by the resolution commit-
tee late in the Thursday morning ses-
sion and was adopted unanimously by
the convention delegates. The reso-
lution also contained a vote of thanks
to the two representatives of Secre-
tary of Labor Wilson who addressed
the convention.
The resolution adopted Thursday
was as a result of the talks delivered
to the convention on their opening
day, by Hon. H. J. Skeffington and
Col. J. L. Spangler. Mr. Skeffington
is United States immigration inspect-
or at the port of Boston, and Col.
Spangler is one of the best known
coal mine operators and bankers in
Pennsylvania. They have been sent
west by the Secretary of Labor to
gain co-operation between the labor
men and the farmers for a bigger har-
vest.
The resolution adopted by the con-
vention is as follows:
Your committee on resolutions of-
fers the following:
Whereas, Bro. H. J. Skeffington, of
Massachusetts, Commissioner of Im-
migration, port of Boston, and Col.
J. L. Spangler, of Pennsylvania, coal
operator and banker, duly accredited
assistants to the secretary by Hon.
Wm. B. Wilson, Secretary of Labor,
addressed this convention on June
12th, and whereas, the object of their
visit, as stated by them, is to secure
the co-operation of organized labor
in assisting the farmers and others
in harvesting the crops, thus giving
force and effect to President Wilson’s
call to the nation to plant and garner
more foodstuffs than ever before.
The plan suggested by Secretary of
Labor Wilson is to induce employers
of labor to defer their regular “shut
down” for repairs until harvest time
and to enable labor thus made idle
to repair to the fields and farms and
“do their bit” to the end that “the
world may be made safe for democ-
racy.”
Your committee having in mind the
declaration of loyalty to the govern-
ment of the trade union officials at
Washington, March 12, 1917, and our
own patriotic duty

SLEPT ON THE MARCH.
Tired Soldiers Who- Actually Walked |
While They Slumbered.
In an article, ‘Sleep For the Sleep- i
less,” in the World's Work the author
quotes an eminent surgeon Who made
a study of sleep in the French army as |
follows:
“In the retreat from Mons to the
Marne we had an extraordinary human |
experiment in which several hundred |
thousand men secured little sleep dur- |
ing nine days and in addition made
forced marches and fought one of the |
greatest battles in history.
«How, then, did these men survive !

nity. for sleep? They did an extraordi-
nary thing—they slept while they
marched! Sheer fatigue slowed down
their pace to a rate that would permit |

they halted they fell asleep. They
slept in water and on rough grounds
when suffering the pangs of hunger
and thirst and even when severely
wounded. They cared not for capture,
not even for death, if only they could
sleep.
“The unvaried testimony of the sol-
diers was that every one at times
slept on the march. They passed
through villages asleep.
deepened they were awakened by com-
rades. They slept in water, on stones,
in brush or in the middle of the road
as if they had suddenly fallen in death.
With the ever oncoming lines of the
enemy no man was safe who dropped
out’ of the ranks, for no matter on
what pretext he fell out sleep con-
quered him. Asleep many were cap-
tured. That the artillery men slept on
horseback was evidenced by the fact
that every man lost his cap.”
LOOK OUT OF YOUR WINDOW.
Mayhap You Are Missing a Wonderful
Moving Picture Show.
Houses are so common, people are
so common, and windows are so com-
mon! How rare it is for any one to
realize how important it is to stand
up and look out of a window! Have
you, for example, ever looked out
of every window in your house? If
not try it and see what a new idea you
will get of the universe.
Just looking out of one window is
a wonderful thing to do. We do it
sometimes when there is a big storm
raging, and what a sensation we get!
Clouds burst, the rain washes down in
torrents. We think maybe the world
is coming to an end. Out of the win-
dow, even in placid weather, there is
always a great sight. We have a re-
served seat to the greatest show now
going on. About everything is hap-
pening out there that there is! Streams
of universal knowledge flow in upon
us through that window. All our
senses become revitalized.
Out of every window there is al-
most always a tree in sight some-
where, even in the city. Take note of
‘that tree, with its roots deep in the
<goil and its branches spreading out
into the air. That tree will connect
you up with Mother Earth. Then there
is always the sky, leading you into un-
known depths of thought and feeling,
and there are always people passing-—
world comrades! It is the greatest
moving picture show in the world.—
Life.
Teamwork on a Battleship.
The problem of naval expansion
would not be so hard were it not for
the fact that every ship needs such a
great number in its crew, because the
greater the number of men that must
work together as “a team” the greater
the difficulty of accomplishing the
“teamwork” and the longer the time
required. In a ship, especially in a
large ship like a battleship or battle
cruiser, most of the men work together
in large groups, such as turret crews,
100 men sometimes composing a tur-
ret crew. Nevertheless the ship and
all the men it floats are bound togeth-
er by invisible cords that make a ship
a unit, and the major effect of the
training and of the drills of all kinds
is to make the whole a living organ-
ism.—Rear Admiral Bradley A. Fiske

More than two years ago Captain
Theodore Davis Boal, of the Boal ma-
chine gun troop of the First Pennsyl-
vania cavalry, located at Boalsburg,
this county, sent his son, Pierre Boal,
aged 18, into the French army. The
boy, who is French on his mother’s
side, saw considerable service in the
trenches. Later he was assigned to
the aviation corps of the French army,
and was made a captain in that
branch.

loughed and came home. Now the son

CONSTRUCTS FRENCH TRENCH SYS- Purpose to Abandon Teachers’ Pen-
sions.
New York.—Abandonment of the
present system of free pensions for
college teachers from the Carnegie
Foundation for the Advancement of
Teaching has been recommended by a
special commission appointed to study
the subject, the foundation stated in a
bulletin made public a short time
ago. The recommendations uphold a
plan put forward by the foundation in
July, 1916.
It is proposed to organize teachers’
insurance and annuity associations,
empty tin cans to a rod of steel wire | which would “enable college teachers
or professors when they enter their
profession to protect both themselves
and their families against depend-
ed wire screening protect the trench | ence.”
Insurance and old age annuities
Captain Pierre Boal says he | would be offered to college teachers
upon advantageous terms. The pen-
sion fund would thus become an in-
surance fund, motive of the change
being that “no permanent advantage
will accrue to any profession by lift-
Boal’s machine gun troopers gather ing from the shoulders of its mem-
bers a load which under moral and
economic laws they ought to bear.”
One of the salient features of the
commission’s recommendations con-
cerns obligatory participation by
teachers in the insurance system
The commission declares: “To attain
its full purpose, participation in. the
pension system to the extent of an
agreed minimum should form a con-
dition of entering the service or em-
ployment the members of which are
co-operating in the pensicn system.
The commission was a joint one,
representing the Carnegie Founda-
tion, the American Association of
University Professors, the Associa-
tion of American Universities, the As-
sociation of American Colleges and
the National Association of State
Uriversities.
More Meat and Eggs Said to be |
Great Need.
San Francisco, Cal.—Dean Thomas
F. Hunt, of the College of Agricul-
ture of the University of California,
says that “Indian corn and cotton
make the United States impregnable.
It is impossible to starve the Ameri-
can people. Where the pinch will
come, mowever, is in the meats and
fats. The farmer should produce as
mush meat, eggs, butter and milk as
What the public does not un-
derstand and what most farmers do
not realize, is that the special emer-
gency need now is to grow much
greater quantities of forage crops as
food for domestic animals. Most of
the current talk about the food prob-
lem has been about growing potatoes
in the back yard or eating rice instead
of potatoes. As a matter of fact, the
opportunity for saving here is almost
nothing. Potatoes and rice together
do not cost more than 6 per cent of
the annual expenditure of an average
family for food, while two-thirds of all
the average Pacific Coast family
spends for food goes for foods of ani-
mal origin—meat, eggs, milk, butter
and fat.”
AN ANCIENT CLIFF CITY.
| The Ruins of Its Primitive Dwellings
: In Walnut Canyon.
| Walnut canyon, near Flagstaff, Ariz,
| contains some of the most
esting ruins on the continent. The
canyon itself is remarkable, being a
thousand feet deep, a quarter mile in
width at the top and a few hundred
i feet at the bottom. The sideg do not
| rise up in gentle slopes. but leap up-
ward, tier upon tier, a giant limestone
stairway. Here were conditions that
appealed to primitive man. The
smooth shelf or ledge formed a floor,
the projecting rock a ceiling, the slop-
| ing strata rear walls. He had but to
"throw up front and side walls and a
| home was completed, with a floor that |
would never wear out and a roof that
would never leak.
It is estimated that there are at least
“a thousand of these primitive dwell-
ings in the Walnut canyon. There is
| but a single entrance to this cliff city.

to oats.
—Tioga county farmers have plant-
ed a number of acres to tobacco and
will raise beans extensively.
—Farmers in many counties report
that the tent caterpillar pest will be

—Franklin county farmers report
the plowed ground wheat as looking
fine, but the corn stalk wheat is not
in good condition.
—A large increase in the number of
acres of corn is indicated by reports
received by the Pennsylvania Depart-
ment of Agriculture.
—Corn planting has been unusual-
ly late in many sections' of the State
on account of the cold weather that
marked the beginning of May.
—Reports from sheep raising cen-

REAL DOUGHNUTS.
The Genuine Old Time Cake Never Had
a Hole In It.
Why will some persons persist in
speaking of the holes in doughnuts?
The real, genuine article never had a
hole in it. My memory goes back to
1840 and earlier, and my boyhood ex-
perience extended over a good part of
Fairfield, Litchfield and New Haven
; counties, Conn., and Westchester coun-
| ty, N. Y., up to 1850. Our mothers at
that time are to be regarded as the
best authority on old fashioned Amer-
ican cookery.
The doughnut of that period consist-
ed of bread dough raised overnight,
with hop meal cakes, or ‘‘emptins,”
sweetened with brown sugar, short-
ened a little and fried to a rich brown
in leaf lard and were somewhat larger
than a goose egg and about the same
shape. These were known among the
old Dutch New Yorkers and are de-
scribed in Barber's “History of New
York,” published about 1840.
“Wonder cakes” were similar, with a
little more shortening and sweetening.
The dough was rolled about three-
quarters of an inch thick, cut into
squares of three inches, with three
slits, which were pressed apart into
a fantastic shape, and were the idol-
ized Sabbath day lunch, eaten under
the maple tree or the horse shed be-
tween the morning and afternoon serv-
ices.
I first remember crullers twisted and
with holes when I came to New York
in 1854. The very name of dough-
nut is suggestive of a round or oval
shaped article.—C. P. Benedict in New
York Times.

Why Disease Is Caused by Fear.
An eminent medical authority once
made the statement that a great deal
of contagion is due largely to nervous
apprehension and fear. Terror causes
radical changes in the secretions and
nerve cells, and while the possibility is
not the direct cause of disease it cer-
tainly is sufficient to put the person in
the proper condition to be attacked by
the prevailing malady.
It is a well understood fact that ex-
cessive anger infuses a toxic element
into the secretions. Fear destroys the
resistive capability and, as it were, lets
down the drawbridge and makes way
for the enemy.
Spanish Meat Balls.
Spanish meat balls are as palatable
as they are rare and made thus: One
can of tomatoes, one onion chopped
fine, garlic or cayenne to taste. This
forms the “Spanish.” One and a half
! pounds of hamburg steak. Soak half
a loaf of stale bread; drain off all wa-
ter. Take one egg, pepper and salt to
taste, mix together, roll into balls the
size of an egg and cook in the “Span-
ish” three-quarters of an hour.
Posset.
The proper meaning of the word
“posset,” frequently used in Lan-
cashire, England, is a drink taken Dbe-
fore going to bed. Originally it was
milk curdled with wine and comes
from the Latin posea. meaning a drink
made with vinegar and water.

Any time is the proper time for say
ing what is just.—Greek Proverb,
| cherries
stone ax, might well have stood off an |
the cliff and on through | past ten years. Not one county shows
wheat within five per cent. of the av-
erage condition and in many it is run-
ning behind, about twenty-five per
cent.
—Prospects for splendid crops of
apples, peaches, pears, plums, and
remain most satisfactory
throughout a greater part of the State
according to reports received by the
Pennsylvania Department of Agricul-
ture from its ercp correspondents in
the various townships of the State.
While frost killed many of the
peach buds in the central and north-
ern counties, all indications point to a
bumper crop in the big peach growing
localities. The reports on the condi-
tion of peach buds show an average of
80 per cent. as compared with a nor-
mal. yield. Last year at this time the
percentage was for only about sixty
per cent. of a normal yield. The ap-
ple prospects indicate a crop of about
93 per cent. of normal and the figure
for pears is the same. Plums show a
mark of 92 per cent. of a normal yield
and cherries 91 per cent. In some sec-
tios the cherries have been affected
by the cold weather and it is likely
that the crop will be somewhat lower
than the percentage figure would in-
dicate at the present time. It prom-
ises to be a splendid fruit year with
the fruit growers being especially for-
tunate in helping along in the move-
ment for larger crops which is fore-
ing agriculture of all lines to its very
limit.
—Cut-worms are easily controlled,
but ignorance of methods allow heavy
losses of garden and field crops to
continue, which aggregate throughout
the State, hundreds of thousands of
dollars, yearly. The army worm is
one of the many species of cut-worms.
Cut-worms generally work at night,
cutting off plants at the surface of the
ground, and then they try to drag the
plant into their burrows. These pests
hide away during the day, and are not
frequently seen except by close obser-
vation when cultivating the soil. Cut-
worms must not be confused with the
common white grub, which feeds only
on the roots of plants and never ap-
pears above the ground. The common
brown or gray moths which are at-
tracted to lights at night during the
summer, are the parents of -cut-
worms.
A poison bran mash made of com-
mon wheat bran, twenty-five pounds,
mixed dry with one-half pound of
Paris green, and moistened with three
or four gallons of water, to which has
been added the juice and pulp of three
or four lemons or oranges, and one
quart of cheap, black molasses. This
poison mash should be thoroughly
mixed with water so that it will bare-
ly hold together when pressed in the
hand. Scatter this mash broadcast in
the late evening through gardens or
fields which are to be protected from
cut-werm attack.
To protect small garden plots, one
quart of bran, one tablespoonful of
Paris green, two or three tablespoon-
fuls of syrup and the juice of part of
an oripde with water will be suffi-
cient.
—The weed problem is as old as ag-
riculture. Because weeds have al-
ways been with us the farmer fre-
quently neglects them, allowing them
to occupy needed space and rob the
soil of nutrition which should go to
more useful plants. The following
suggestions, all suited to Pennsylva-
nia conditions, may aid in holding in
check this robber crop:
1. Weeds with creeping, under-
ground rootstocks, such as Canada
thistle, and horse nettle, should have
their green tissue constantly cut back,
a process which will eventually starve
out the rootstock.
2. Sow clean seed. The current
season will witness a great demand
for seed. As a result much inferior
seed will be sold on the market, and
unless the farmer is careful many
weeds may be introduced in poor seed.
38. Whenever possible, particular-
ly in the pasture, allow sheep to graze
the weeds, especially before seeding.
Ttis profitable to turn weeds into wool
and mutton. Hogs are often useful in
grazing weeds in which the under-
ground growth is the obnoxious fea-
ture.
4. If possible, prevent weeds from
going to seed. Mow, or even hand-
pick, before the seeds mature. This
is more profitable than allowing weed
seeds to contaminate the soil for years
to come. Certain weed seeds may be
dormant in the soil for many years,
awaiting a favorable opportunity to
sprout. Before the seeds ripen, mow-
ing may be profitably practised along
fence rows in the pasture, and even in
the grain field. If weed seeds mature
do not plow them under.
5. If the exigencies of the présent
abnormal season should demand the
purchase of seed from distant sources,
constant vigilance should be exercis-
ed to detect the appearance of weedy
plants new to the vicinity. Such new
comers should be immediately exter-
minated at all costs.
6. If dodder makes its appearance
in the clover field, it is best to burn
the contaminated areas. If entire
fields are affected, plow the crop un-
der before the dodder goes to seed.
For further information on weed
control write the botany department,
Pennsylvania State College.
