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

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

FIRST AMERICANS TO FALL.
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.

DOES BUSINESS ON
OTHER MAN'S CASH
Capital of the Mail Order House
Is Furnished by Its
Customers.
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.
