Senate Wants 28th Division Brought
Home.
Harrisburg, Feb. 18.—The Senate
today adopted a resolution petition-
ing the Secretary of War to order the
return from foreign service and dis-
charge of the Twenty-eighth division,
Pennsylvania Guard, was sent to the
House for concurrence.
Officers who have returned from
overseas service or who have been
mustered out, especially those dissat-
isfied with the way the War Depart-
ment handled the National Guard offi-
cers and units, will be given opportu-
nity to present their views by the mil-
itary committee of the House. Chair-
man Golder, of the committee, an-
nounced today that he proposed to
hold hearings in various cities on the
bills for military training presented
to the House.
TWENTY-EIGHTH HARD FIGHTERS.
Philadelphia, February 18—Penn-
sylvania’s Twenty-eighth (Iron) divi-
sion became known as the “crack”
division of the American army, ac-
cording to the Rev. Robert P. Zebley,
who has returned to his home, 5304
Chestunt street, after almost two
years spent in Y. M. C. A. work
abroad.
“Wherever the fighting was most
furious and it seemed as if the Ger-
mans might have a chance to break
through or stem the American offen-
sive the men of the Iron division were
sent,” he said.
Mr. Zebley formerly was pastor of
Grace Baptist church, Camden. He
was one of the fifty-seven “Y” work-
ers on board the Oronsa when that
ship was torpedoed.
“I was. with the Twenty-eighth di- |
vision at Camp Hancock,” he said,
“and the wonderful drive at Chateau
Thierry. "‘he men went into action
on the south s.de of the Marne in
June and were fighting continuously
as long as the Americans held the
sector.
“At La Channel, where Quentin
Roosevelt was shot down, the ground
changed hands eight times. The
fighting was in the open, and there
were no dugouts except holes just big
enough for a man to get in. These
were made by the boys about twenty-
five or thirty yards apart as they
climbed up the hill and finally held
the ground. Eight Germans fell to
every American. I was following
along with the headquarters.”
Income Tax Blanks are Ready for
Distribution.
Washington, Feb. 19.—Individuals
with incomes of $5000 or less may
now obtain income tax return forms
at offices of revenue collectors of
banks, the revenue bureau announced
today. The forms have been distrib-
uted throughout the country, and were
released today without awaiting sig-
nature of the revenue bill by the Pres-
ident. The form for individual in-
comes of more than $5000 and other
tax return forms will be available
within two weeks.
The individual for incomes of $5000
or less is a printed sheet divided into
three parts, one constituting a “work
sheet” on which a taxpayer may fig-
ure his income according to the guide
provided, another containing detailed
instructions, and the third being the
actual return form. Married persons
or heads of family who made $2000
or more, and single persons who made
$1000 or more in 1918, must make out
returns before March 15.
Accompanying the individual re-
turn form is a schedule for use of far-
mers in calculation net income for
1918. This will assist a farmer in de-
termining value of crops, live stock,
corn products, live stock products, and
other materials, sold and on hand,
and expenses. The form is itemized
in detail.
Bogus Inspectors Mulct Farmers.
Shamokin, Pa., Feb. 17.—Farmers
throughout the Mahantonga and
Mahanoy Valleys, rural districts of
Northumberland county, have asked
the police of Central Pennsylvania to
assist them in running down a pair
of swindlers who during last week
mulcted them to the extent of nearly
$1000. The men represented them-
selves as government inspectors, rep-
resenting to farmers owning steam
boilers for the operation of thresh-
ing, butchering and other machinery,
that the government required that
their boilers be inspected for safety
reasons. Fees of from five to eight
dollars were exacted of each farmer.
A Table Made With a Jacknife.
A table containing eight hundred
and thirty-two separate pieces, includ-
ing many animals, has been made by
a California man. The only tool em-
Ploves in the work was a jacknife. It
took just four years to complete the
work, and the owner of the table val-
ues it at five thousand dollars.

Dr. Edward M. Herbst.
Reading, Pa., Feb. 17.—Dr. Edwin
M. Herbst, who represented Berks in
the State Senate sixteen years, and
who in his time was widely known in
Democratic councils in Pennsylvania,
died at his home at Friedensberg to-
day, aged sixty-eight years, after a
long illness. He was a graduate of
Jefferson Medical College, Philadel-
phia, and for thirty years was a prom-
inent figure in Berks politics.
Censor’s Office Boy.
It must be the censor’s office boy
who is responsible for some of the va-
garies of the blue pencil. Not long ago
some patriotic soul quoted Kipling’s
line from the “Recessional,” “The cap-
tains and the kings depart.” He had
the surprise of his life when the word
“kings” was struck out. But worse
is now reported. Another scribe,
greatly daring in the meatless days,
quoted Thomas Hood's joke in an ar-
ticle on “Wayside Graves,” or some-
thing equally solemn:
“So they buried Ben at four cross-
roads
With a stake in his inside.”
That was too much for the censor’s
office boy. A stake in his inside, in-
deed. The censor’s office boy knew if
he knew how to spell that the food
controller would never sanction a
whole “steak”—a nice, succulent, juicy
steak, in anybody's inside. So he de-
leted the offending lines. Who shall
say that we are not ardently patri-
otic people?—London News.
Slow Sartorial Reconstruction.
The question of civilian equipment
has its humorous as well as its seri-
ous aspects for the honorobly dis-
charged soldier or sailor. Some are
lucky enough to return immediately
and completely to *¢its,” while others,
less fortunate, must content them-
selves with a sort of half and half
adornment. It no longer causes
astonishment to detect a pair of neat-
ly creased trousers hanging stiffly be-
neath military khaki overcoat, or to
see the short blue jacket of the sailor
covering an otherwise perfect civilian
outfit. These are some of the minor
problems of reconstruction.—New
York Sun.
Remarkable Repair Ship.
To enable the American destroyers
and chasers in British waters imme-
diately to effect repairs and renewals,
there was a repair ship stationed at
Queenstown of a remarkable charac-
ter. The vessel, of about 5,000 tons,
was a floating machine shop, foundry
and store, able to do any kind of re-
pair work short of drydock work. The
bakery produced long loaves of crust-
ed bread for all the ships, and once
created a most elaborate birthday
cake for Admiral Sims,

The Crowning Achievement of Henry Ford
Coming from the Ford Company the quality of this great Tractor can be taken
for granted. The purposes it serves on the modern farm are so varied that it would
take columns to explain them. It will do anything that a string of horses will do—
do it better, quicker, and at much less cost. Plowing, harrowing, drilling, haul-
ing are among the many attractive functions of the Fordson. Then you must add
the countless uses to which it is converted on the farm as a stationary power plant.
No modern farm will be without one ; other farms can become modern profit-pro-
ducers by buying one.
The Fordson Tractor has a belt power of 24 H. P., and on the Draw Bar 12 H. P.
The cost is much lower than you would expect, and the upkeep is proven sur-
prisingly low. ;
You, Mr. Farmer, owe it to yourself to investigate the Fordson Tractor. Noth-
ing can satisfy you like seeing it do the work. Our representative will call any-
where to show you. Write.
A six-months’ subscription to the ‘Fordson Farmer,” a monthly magazine,
will be sent free upon request.
