Braid Bellefonte, Pa., August 12, 1921. FARM NOTES. —The second spray for control of celery blight is due about this time. Use 4-4-50 Bordeaux. —Bins showing the presence of grain moth should be well fumigated with carbon bisulphide spray. —Now is the time to get the lambs weaned, the old ewes culled, and to be- gin to get the ewes in shape for the breeding season. —Well fitted fields and wheat seed- ing a week to ten days later than the average for the section will lessen in- jury from Hessian fly. —String beans too old to snap will make good seed. Do not save pods showing disease spots as they will mean seed unfit to plant. —Remember to seed wheat a week to ten days later than is customary in your locality to obtain the best con- trol over the Hessian fly. —Lack of water is most likely to be felt by celery in August. If the crop grows slowly, a thorough watering once a week will often work wonders. —Vines of squashes and pumpkins usually make roots at the joints. They are essential to the growing crop and if foved during cultivation, the plants suffer. —Begin to feed new oats gradually, mixing them with old oats or corn. After the horse becomes accustomed to them there will be no danger from illness. —Hens that are molting and have yellow beaks, legs and skin, should be sold at once. The sooner early molt- ing hens are removed the greater will be the benefit. —Roguing and spraying of potatoes should be continued without any let-: up. Spraying has already demon- strated a 40 per cent. increase in yield of early potatoes. —If you are dissatisfied with the crop of weeds and briars now showing up at their best on abandoned hilly farm land, plan to plant forest trees on it next spring. —All the pullets that one is able to rear will not be profitable individuals to keep. Cull out all the weak, poorly . developed pullets and keep only those that mature early. : —This is a good time to give the poultry buildings “the once over.” Tar aper roofing should be painted at east once in three years.—The Penn- sylvania State College. —Growers who are planning to con- trol peach borers with para-dichloro- benzine treatment should mote that the best time to apply the material is in Sepiember, preferably the last two weeks. ~—During hot weather drivers will be amply repaid for their time by watering their horses once during the middle of cach half-day. The horses will do more work and do it more easily. —TFarly varieties of turnips may yet be sown safely. Unless the ground has been well manured in the spring, it is best to add a little fertil- izer for turnips, especially phosphor- ic acid. —Inspection of the silo may reveal | some rotted silage or water that should be removed at once. Collect all doors, make necessary repairs, draw hoops on stave structures, and in gen- eral, prepare for the filling. —Get a reputation for your dairy cattle at the coming fairs. A little added care with comb and brush and some extra linseed oil meal in the grain mix will improve the appearance of the animals to be shown. . —When the soil is in need of lime, it may be applied in advance of seed- ing wheat to good advantage. Mix with the soil by disking and harrow- ing in preparation for wheat. This brings the lime closer to the clover. —The dairy cow is the farmer’s best bet. With grain and livestock mar- kets on the decline, the butter market shows an upward tendency. The price of dairy products shows less fluctua- tion than other agricultural products. —Hogs should be on some good pas- ture these days, with grain rations added. Begin preparations for plac- ing them in the field for hogging off corn towards the middle or end of September. Order or make the nec- essary fencing. —=See that machinery for seeding wheat, cutting corn, filling silos and digging potatoes is all in good work- ing order. One cannot afford to de- lay the work by having to wait for a machine to be put in order when the time arrives to do this work. —Keep a watch on the drinking wa- ter used by cows during hot weather. Stagnant water breeds disease germs and may give a bad taste to the milk. It is well to remember that 70 per cent. of the cow’s body and 87 per cent. of her milk is composed of water. _~—Cool, damp weather at this time is a good indication that late blight will strike the potatoes. Those grow- ers who have sprayed regularly and well throughout the growing season will suffer little or no loss while a neighbor’s unsprayed crop may be wiped out entirely. —Dairy cows will not enter the fall feeding period in the best of condition unless they receive some feed to sup- plment the short August pastures. Cut some green fodder and feed it lib- erally when the weather is hot and the pastures dry up. It will be returned in added milk production this fall. —The fall markets are usually very good for fat hens. Any birds that are not going to be profitable to keep over the winter should be disposed of now. They should be fattened about ten days before shipping. A wet mash with plenty of corn chop and milk to- gether with restricted exercise will do the trick. . —Do not delay ordering fertilizers after the middle of August. Be ready for wheat seeding. en manure is available for the wheat field only, acid phosphate will be needed, 250 to 350 pounds per acre. With no manure, a complete fertilizer will be better. Five hundred pounds per acre of a 2-10-4 will fit most soils, Half Million Bibles Placed in Hotels. The Gideons, whose aim it is to place a bible in each guest room of every hotel in the country, are rapid- ly approaching the five hundred thou- sand Bible mark. They are but four- teen thousand short of this, and at their rate of distribution will pass the milepost before the year is out, ac- cording to National Secretary A. B. T. Moore, of Chicago. Traveling men who make up the Christian Commercial Travellers’ As- | sociation of America number today more than 4000 active members, Mr. Moore reports. The society was start- ed on July 1, 1899, by three men meeting in a little hotel in J anesville, Wisconsin. ; The Gideons are now organized in all of the 48 and in Alaska. Illinois leads in the number of Bi- bles placed with California second, Mr. Moore reports. Over 48,000 were placed last year, which is short of the banner year’s mark, when Bibles cost less and 75,000 were put in the hotels. Last year, however, saw the largest recent shipment made, a distribution of 10,000 Bibles to Atlantic City ho- tels. The Gideons have set a mark of 100,000 for themselves for the next 12 months. Decision on enlargement of their work through putting out more field secretaries is one of the chief items of business of the three day conven- tion at Sioux City, Iowa. The American Gideons are affiliated with similar societies in Canada and in England.—Ex. . The shooting of frogs and the use of lights at night in their capture are no longer allowed by the State. The frogs come to the surface at night for air and without the aid of what was known as “frogging lamps” the fishermen had great difficulty in locat- ing them. Furthermore, they musi now be caught by bait or hand, whereas it was once a popular form to shoot them. In the old days it was an ordinary achievement to catch a doz- en or as many as twenty frogs in a single night and then they were a plentiful food in the restarants and hotels. Today, very few menus con- tain this delicious morsel. The season for frogs opened on July 2 and will continue until October 31st. They are found mostly in sluggish and quiet streams. Not Feeling Much Better. Many are not being benefitted by the summer vacation as they should be. Not- withscanding much out-door life, they are little if any stronger now than they were. The tan on their faces is darker and makes them look healthier, but it is only a1 mask. They are still nervous, easily tired, upset by trifles, and they do not eat nor sleep well. 5 What they need is what tones nerves, perfects digestion, creates an ap- I potite, and makes sleep refreshing. In | other words. they should take Hood's Sar- ! saparilla. Pupils, teachers, and others cenerally will find the chief purpose of the vacation best subserved by this. great the tem.” If a eathartic or laxative is needed, Hood's Pills will give entire satisfaction. It is difficult to conceive of anything bet- ter for biliousaess or constipation. 66-31 JACKSONVILLE. Our threshermen have started on ther trip up and down the valley.

Three Who Met Death in World War on November 3, 1917. A statement authorized by the War Department announces that the first American soldiers killed in battle dur- ing the world war met their fate on November 3, 1917. They were Corpor- al James B. Gresham, Evansville, Ind.; private Thomas F. Enright, Pitts- burgh, Pa., and private Merle D. Hay, Glidden, Ia.; all of Company F, 16th Infantry, First Division. Articles which have been published concerning the first American killed in the war have not been agreed as to the time, place or identity of the men. Neither has there been an agreement as to the date on which the first Amer- ican troops entered the fighting line. On a monument erected at Bathle- mont, Lorraine, by the people of the Department of Meurthe-et-Moselle, is an inscription containing the names of the three soldiers mentioned above, and states they “were killed in view of the enemy on the third of Novem- ber, 1917,” with the following tribute: “As worthy sons of their great and noble nation they have fought for jus- tice, liberty and civilization against the German imperialism, scourge of mankind. They died on the Field of Honor.” The War Deparment records show that the first division of the A. E. F. entered the liner in the Somerville sec- Ls tion in Lorraine on the night of Octo- ber 21, 1917. At Coblenz, on Febru- ary 22, a group of French ladies cel- ebrated the entrance of American troops into the fighting line, presum- ably on the theory that they were ob- serving the anniversary of that date. “Mother, dear, what is economy ? “Ethel, where on earth did you pick up that vulgar expression?

WORKS ALWAYS ON VELVET": Buyers Supply Money to Support En- terprises Competing With Those in Which They Are Interested. (Copyright.) It is a mighty nice thing to be able to do business on the other fellow’s money, but there are fesv people who ‘can do it. Probably the only busi- ‘ness men who, as a class, are able ‘to do this, are the mail order men in ‘the big cities. Did you ever stop to think—you, ‘who have ordered goods from a mail order house and there are probably few who have not done that at some ‘time or other—that you are supplying ithe cash upon which the mail order ‘man is doing business? You are well aware of the fact that your cash must ‘go with your order if you expect to re- .ceive the goods, but have you ever ‘stopped to think what that means? Do .you realize that you are supplying the ‘capital for a business which is run- ‘ning in direct competition with your ‘home merchants, upon whose prosper- ity you and your fellow townsmen are ‘dependent for a livelihood? The majority of mail order houses ‘do not carry large stocks of goods. ‘They do not have to. ‘take a part of your money and go to the manufacturer or the wholesaler ‘and Buy the article that is wanted. The irest of the money he can put down in This pecicet after paying his operating ‘eosts, which are light when compared with those of the merchant who must | carry a large stock of goods to meet ‘the demands made upon him. : In Class by Themselves. There is absolutely no other class of ‘| ‘men who do business on the capital “furnished by their customers. Even the retail store which sells for cash ‘only cannot do this for he must carry "> large stock and in most cases must .pay cash for it in order to get prices ‘that will enable him to make lower ‘| ‘prices to his customers than can be made by the merchant who gives credit ito his customers. The mail order man doesn’t need to ‘have any of his own capital invested fae : When the mail order man gets your order, accom-' ‘panied by the cash, of course, he can! Out, of Town and I Buy Out. of Town, What, will Become of Our Town ? In his business—or any large amount “of it, at least, in proportion to the vol- ume of the business which he does. He ‘does not have to pay interest to the | banks on money borrowed to help him ‘finance his business. The mail order | ‘man figures that about one-half of the amount he receives on any order goes | to the wholesaler or manufacturer in _ payment for the goods ordered. Of | the remainder a part goes for postage, ' printing, maintenance of office and plant, insurance, etc. What is left, ‘which is by no means an insignificant part of every dollar received, goes into dividends to stockholders in the mail order corporation. All this has been done without any capital other than ‘that which may be required to pay of- fice expenses. "Suppose, for a minute, that you did business with the local merchants on ‘the same plan. Suppose that they did not carry any goods in stock, that "when you wanted to buy something you should go to ome of your home merchants, look in his catalogue and pick out an article that seemed to be ‘similar to the one that you wanted, hand over the price as shown by the ‘catalogue and tell him to order it for ‘you. The merchant would take your ‘money and you would wait for your goods until they arrived from a dis- tant city. Not So Anxious. But the people who make up any community are not nearly as anxious to furnish capital to the home mer- chant—the man who helps “make” the town—as they are to the mail order man in the far distant city, who does nothing and cares nothing for the peo- ple who furnish him the money on which to do business. They insist that the home merchant shall carry a large stock of goods from which they can select what they wish, when they think it is to their interest to buy from him. They insist that he shall stand back of the goods he sells and make good any defect that may appear in them. They insist that he shall sell them what they wish and wait for the money until they get ready to pay-it. ‘They insist that he shall sell goods at the same prices or lower prices than the mail order houses charge for goods of poorer qual- ity. And finally, they insist that the home merchant shall furnish the large amount of capital that is required to conduct a business on this plan. The mail order buyer may say that he has the right to spend his money anywhere he pleases and he has, legal- ly. But he probably has never stopped to reflect on the fact that he is supply- ing the capital for the operation of a concern which is in direct competition with enterprises in which he is directly interested, for every man, woman and child in a town is directly interested in the success of the business enterprises in that town. If these business enter- prises are not prosperous, the town cannat be prosperous. To supply capi- tal to your competitor is not very good business. Books, Stationery and Post Cards.
