OVER HERE!
Johnny save your mon,
save your mon!
Help us lick the Hun, lick the Hun, lick
the Hun!
Uncle Sam’s calling on you and me
For another loan for Liberty!
Hurry right away, get your

Buy bonds by the score, then some more,
win the war!
They're not asking much of you, look
what our boys in France must do!
save your mon,
pay, 80
Over Here!
Over Here!
We can fight with
over here!
Every Yankee dollar makes the Kaiser
holler
And fills our boys in France with cheer!
So do your share, make this loan a bear,
For every bond you buy helps over there!
Put this loan over, put this loan over,
And keep on buying till it's over, over
there!
all our might right

Results of Stock Judging Contest.
Due to the rainy weather the stock
judging contest scheduled for Wed-
nesday at the Granger’s picnic was
postponed till Thursday at ten o’clock.
Four classes of stock were judged in-
cluding horses, sheep, and two classes
of beef cattle. The work done by the
contestants was indeed gratifying
and would have done credit to those
who have had far more experience.
The fact that a girl won first prize
goes to emphasize the fact that we
have just as good judges among the
girls as the boys. This was also em-
phasized at the Blair county fair two
weeks ago, where girls won first,
third and fourth places. The prizes
awarded were as follows:
TFirst—Helen Rishel, Farmers Mills.
Second—James A. Keller, Centre Hall.
Third—Byron Decker, Spring Mills.
Fourth—Ired Lucas, Potters Mills.
Fifth—Robert Neff, Centre Hall.
Sixth—Malcolm Musser, Bellefonte.
Seventh—Hugh Ralston, Centre Hall
Eighth—Lynn Meyer, Coburn. i
Ninth—Robert Rishel, Farmers Mills.
The prizes were paid in W. S. S.
and thrift stamps and were donated
by the First National bank, State Col-
lege; Farmers National bank, Mill-
heim; Pennsvalley Banking Co., Cen-
tre Hall; Centre County bank, Belle-
fonte, and the Centre county Farm
Bureau. .
Next year it is planned to take up
some other classes of livestock and
give further experience and training
in judging work.—R. H. Olmstead,
county agent.
for the Use of Mixed
Heinz Appeals
: Flour.
“The greatest rationing experiment
in the history of the world is in prog-
ress,” said Howard Heinz, United
States food administrator for Penn-
sylvania in an appeal for the univer-
sal use of mixed flour by all classes
in Pennsylvania.
“For the first time since the world
war began, the nations of the Allies
are eating at a common table. Over
two hundred and twenty million peo-
ple surround this board. There are
no seats of honor. There is no dis-
tinction of class; rich and poor, the
farmer and the city dweller, the mil-
lionaire and the laboring man must
now all partake of the same bread.”
The new rulings on wheat was the
subject of Mr. Heinz’ comment. The
fifty-fifty rule regarding the -use of
wheat flour and its substitutes is a
thing of the past. The new one of
80-20 or 80 per cent. wheat flour and
20 per cent. substitutes prevails not
only in the United States, but in Eng-
land, France and Italy.
ALLIES ARE RATIONED ALIKE.
“Now that the two hundred and
twenty million people of the Allies
are rationed alike, and eating the
same bread, any member of this
mighty family who asks for pure
wheat bread in this great crisis, or
for food different from that furnished
the other nations, stamps himself as
one who is not willing to contribute
his part to winning the victory.”
“An American,” said Mr. Heinz
with emphasis, “who refuses to eat
the same bread as that furnished our
Allies proclaims himself unfriendly to
the purpose of our government.
“There can be no greater appeal on
this wheat conservation question to
our patriotic people than that our Al-
lies are living on the same wheat flour
diet that the people of Pennsylvania
are asked to observe today, namely,
the 80-20 ration.”
STILL DANGER OF FAMINE.
“And because there is a larger
wheat crop in the United States this
year than for years past; because the
50-50 rule has been abolished and a
larger use of wheat flour is now per-
mitted is no excuse for any individ-
ual to think that the bars are down
and that he can use as much wheat
flour as he desires without substi-
tutes. If the situation were not se-
rious there would be no need of using
substitutes with flour. The world is
still in danger of actual famine if our
1919 crops should fail.
“There are no preferred guests at
this common table of the allied na-
tions. The new rule of the 80-20 ra-
tion, applies as well to the farmer as
to the miner, as well to the munition
worker as to the clerk; it applies to
all classes and conditions of men.
“I appeal to the people of Pennsyl-
vania to regard this changed condi-
tion in the light I have described. I
believe they will. They have shown
a splendid spirit of co-operation with
the Food Administration. Every pa-
triotic citizen, understanding just
what is wanted, should refuse to eat
wheat bread which contains no sub-
stitutes.”
W. F. REYNOLDS,
Federal Food Administrator
of Centre County.

Red Cross Pig Club Wins a Victory.
Ten thousand dollars to the Red
Cross and 600,000 pounds of pork for
our soldiers overseas is what the Red
Cross Pig club in Carroll county,
Miss., has contributed to the nation,
according to a report received by the
United States Department of Agri-
culture from O. F. Turner, county
agent. The club has 3,000 members,
and will ship 39 cars of hogs to mar-
ket. “No county in Mississippi,”
says the report, “has ever before seen
such an array of porkers as we now
have in Carroll. The whole county
is spotted with hogs of the finest
type. Red Cross pigs are on every
hill and in every hollow. People who
never had any confidence in such
things before are studying feeds and
using tankage and self-feeders. We
have pigs that weigh 400 pounds, with
litter mates that won’t weigh 100.
Some of our hogs have gained 118
pounds in one month.”
