LITTLE MOTHER OF POVERTY
ROW.
Deear little mother of Poverty Row,
Rocking your baby 'mid sorrow and toil,
‘Whence is the light that transfigures you
80?
Whence is the beauty no sin can assoil?
Now I must look at you there by the door,
1 who am fortunate, buoyant and strong;
You who are hunted and wretchedly poor,
Lulling your babe with a lullaby song!
Dear little mother of Poverty Lane,
Where are the roses that bloomed in
your cheek?
Blighted I fear by deception and pain,
Men are so cruel and women so weak.
Ragged and torn is the dress that you
wear, .
Making you squallid from head unto
feet,
Still I must own you are womanly fair,
Still I must paint you as tenderly sweet.
Brave little mother of Poverty Place,
Mother-love healeth the stripes of the
rod,
Hence is the beauty
face,
Loving your baby and trusting in God.
that lighteth your
Hear now my prayer for your beggar-born
boy;
Great in all honor and good may he
grow,
Bring you solace and glory and joy,
Dear little mother of Poverty Row.

LIFE MORE INTIMATE
IN WASHINGTON.
Interesting Facts About Our Coun-
try’s Capital Told by a Resident
of Washington.
BY J. C. G.
In all cities there are innumerable
events of an intimate nature that
would interest the people all over the
country mightily, but they seldom es-
cape beyond the confines of the local
press, because the high lights must
have the right of way in the dailies.
Especially is this true of Washington
as the seat of government, the center
of diplomatic life, and the city of a
thousand wonders to tourists, and
here “he stage is always set for the
unusual.
The latest prediction for the capital
city is that it is destined to become
the educational center of the world be-
cause of its possession of unrivalled
opportunities. In no other city can so
many specialists be found, it is said.
Besides its universities of established
renown and approximately two-score
of private schools of high standing,
which annually attract thousands of
out-of-town students, Washington un-
doubtedly has the most excellent lab-
oratories of America. The Congres-
sional Library which has scarcely a
peer in Europe and none in this coun-
try is supplemented by the public li-
brary and numerous departmental li-
braries. All these resources by con-
gressional enactments are open with
certain necessary restrictions to all
students.
Among American cities, Washing-
ton stands unique in including in its
population thousands of young people
well prepared and anxious to under-
take collegiate and professional
courses, having fairly uniform office
hours and willing to devote leisure to
study. The George Washington Uni-
versity recognized the needs of these
young people and to meet these needs
it provides a system of double instruc-
tion.
The university in this way minis-
ters to large groups of young people
earning their living by day and ob-
taining a higher education in the
evening. Many of these students are
government employees and the service
rendered them is likewise rendered
the government in making its servants
more efficient through better train-
ing.
An official list of accredited corres-
pondents who were engaged in telling
the world of the happenings of the
Disarmament Conference totaled 513
and showwed that practically every
country of size noted on a modern
map had one or more press represen-
tatives on the ground. Japan took
first place among foreign nations with
about forty correspondents.
Genuine good will and the utmost
friendliness radiate from the White
House. Mr. and Mrs. Harding are un-
affected in manner, simple in their
tastes and equal to all ceremonious
occasions. They are a handsome
couple and carry themselves spledid-
ly as genuine, substantial Americans
should. Mrs. Harding has the neces-
sary versatility for the position. She
is a first-class manager and an expert
hostess as well as a musician and a
horsewoman. Friends of President
Harding express it as their belief
that one of the principles to which he
adheres closely in his great office is
that he is the President ef all of the
people of all of the United States.
Friend and admirers of ex-Presi-
dent Wilson will be pleased to know
that on January 14th, boy scouts with
banners picketed Washington to an-
nounce the opening of the campaign
of the Woodrow Wilson Foundation.
Washington’s quota of the fund is
$35,000. The non-partisan mass
meeting which opened the campaign
in the National Theatre on Sunday
was addressed by Charles Edward
Russell, Hamilton Holt and Samuel
Gompers. Headquarters of the cam-
paign are established on Fourteenth
street where cotributions will be re-
ceived. Mr. Wilson later faced a
crowd of thousands from his front
porch while he replied to remarks
made by Mr. Gompers. “I thank you
all for this. I don’t deserve it, but I
enjoy it nevertheless,” he said.
The Washington branch of the
Travelers’ Aid Society at the Union
Station claims that more immigrants
pass through the capital city than
through any other place in the coun-
try with the exception of New York,
and that California is the destination
of more immigrants than any other
spot in the country at present. Scarce-
ly a day passes that assistance is not
given to forty or fifty foreigners who, |
new to the country and its ways and
unable to speak the English language
are en route to relatives, and who
would become easy prey to the un-
scrupulous were it not for the protec-
tion of this society. On notification
from New York, foreigners are met at
trains, letters and passports examin-
ed. They are advised how to conceal
their money and then placed on west-
bound trains. The society’s agents in
California are notified to keep watch
for the arrival of the party. The so-
ciety is dependent on voluntary sub-
scriptions.
D. C. Commissioners and other
prominent citizens are pressing Con-
gress for the right to vote for Presi-
dential electors. The only voters in
Washington are those among the hun-
dred thousand government employees
who have retained residence in their
home States where they are permit-
ted to cast their votes by mail. It
often seems that no class could be less
interested in good government than
are the masses who are employed on
government work. This probably goes
back to the fact that the lack of the
vote puts the lid on their aspirations.
Perhaps that pledge not to make use
of political influence to promote their
ambitions, which they take on enter-
ing the service, hypnotizes them with
the belief that “All who enter here
leave hope behind.”
Mr. Daniel A. Edwards is out of his
job as president of the Washington
Board of Education because he is run-
ning a bureau which writes and sells
essays and speeches to students and
persons in the public eye must now
prove the ethics of his position. Mr.
Edwards disclaims that he advertises
his business largely among Washing-
ton schools, but he avers that he has
prepared numerous speeches for Con-
gressmen some of which have been
printed in the Congressional Record.
He employs a staff of twelve college
graduates, men and women. Several of
the men are clergymen while some of
the others are employed in the scien-
tific departments of the Government.
Perhaps this bureau is the source of
certain “bursts of eloquence” heard of
college commencements. Mr. Ed-
wards contends that his pursuit is ab-
solutely ethical, but he will have to
“show” the League of American Pen-
women who are taking the old fash-
ioned attitude about the matter—that
is, that it teaches deceit to children.
“There are far-reaching changes in
Washington,” one reads. “In the Sen-
ate, the old guard is rapidly disap-
pearing. The old Republican machine
is noticeably creaking and halting.”
The old must fall away, but new ma-
terial is developing to replace it. Why
worry! Pennsylvania had no repre-
sentation in the Senate for several
days. Mr. Crow was in the hospital
in the interim caused by Mr. Penrose
floating out on the tide of the old year
and the establishment of Mr. Pep-
per. Mr. McComber, who succeeds
Penrose on the finance committee will
make himself heard. His voice vi-
brates thoughout the Senate chamber
and then some, so that no word is lost.
Probably because Washington is not
an industrial city, unemployment has
not been so noticeable as elsewhere.
Still the Bureau of Labor has capac-
ity. The manager of one of the the-
atres offered an orchestra seat free to
any one turning in a serviceable cast-
off sweater, overcoat or woman’s
warm coat. The seat was for the
opening performance on Sunday even-
ing of “Irish Eyes.” Many who are
seeking jobs do not have the where-
withal to decently clothe themselves
for the occasion.
Urbain Ledoux, the Boston auction-
eer of the unemployed, has been in
Washington for months. Recently he
has employed his time picketing up
and down in front of the Pan-Ameri-
can building, “in search of an honest
man,” so he has announced. On this
quest he carried a brightly polished
lantern and a gay red and white
striped umbrella. No reports as to
success have yet been published.
The storm that raged across the
country three weeks ago merely
“trailed its fringe” over Washington,
but it left a coat of ice on the miles of
walks and pavements that abound, and
the kiddies indulged in coasting to
the distraction of mothers who live in
dread of reckless auto drivers. Traf-
fic has become so- heavy here that
scores of mothers accompany their
children to and from school. To re-
lieve apprehension, the chief of the
traffic bureau has announced that a
hundred Washington women will as-
sume the task of protecting children
at street crossings. The women will
wear white bands on their arms and
station themselves at all intersections
where there are schools at the hours
when children come and go.
The birds and squirrels which make
their houses in the beautiful parks of
the city are among the delights of
children and grown-ups who keep
them supplied with food the year
round. The splendid old trees where
these little animals live are kept in
prime condition. Although every pro-
tection is given these creatures, many
lose their lives owing to pet cats and
dogs that live in the neighborhood of
the parks.
A “Make the Child Fit for School
Campaign” will be waged here as a
preparation of the child of pre-school
age. The object is to determine by
record of height and weight of as many
children as possible their degree of
malnutrition. The staff of nurses of
the Child Welfare society is ready to
weigh children at the various centers
of the society daily.
The archives building, the need for
which has been repeatedly made plain,
is looming up. The Senate has passed
the bill for half a million dollars for
the purchase of a site. Irreplaceable
government records are stored in
many buildings in varying degrees of
near-fireproofing and exposed to ser-
es
. ious risks. Every department and bu- |
‘ reau building is choked with files of
historic documents that bear upon
government business.
the
these documents have been removed
to the Library of Congress.
Washington, the city of conven-
tions, will some day have a great con-
vention hall that will take care of all
the people who desire to assemble at
any scheduled entertainment. Funds
are now being subscribed.
“The distribution of sky bright-
ness in the locality of Washington
agrees closely with that observed in
Switzerland, except the Swiss sky is
brighter, which results no doubt from
the secondary reflection of light from
the Alpine snows.” This is the obser-
vation of Dr. H. H. Kimball, of the U.
S. Weather Bureau. Washington is
beautiful at all times, so “never mind
the weather.”
{STATE DEPARTMENT OF
HEALTH URGES CREATION OF
LOCAL SENTIMENT FOR VAC-
CINATION.
Records of the State Health De-
ties in which small pox cases are un-
der quarantine, and the total number
exceed 25. The majority of these cas-
es are grouped in two localities. One
outbreak totaled 6 cases, 4 of which
died. With the exception of these vir-
ulent cases, the others are and have
been of the mild type occurring in our
State for a number of years.
Small pox is no longer an import-
ant cause of death in this country.
In 1912 Pennsylvania had a death rate
from the disease of 0.5 for each 100,-
000 of population. Since that time it
has been reduced to less than one-
tenth of one for each 100,000 of pop-
ulation. However, in 1919 a death
rate of 9.8 occurred in Louisiana,
which is a warning that the danger
among an unvaccinated population
must not be lost sight of and that vig-
ilance dare not be relaxed.
Dr. J. Moore Campbell, chief of the
Division of Communicable Diseases,
says: “Victims of the infection are
frequently but little inconvenienced,
escaping with a slight headache, back-
ache, and temperature; a condition
resembling grippe which may not be
sufficiently severe to require medical
advice. Following the passing of
these symptoms a rash appears and
although often scanty and running a
more rapid course than in the severer
cases, it is the small pox eruption.
“These mild cases frequently es-
cape notice and quarantine. Their
existence is not suspected until other
persons infected by them become ill.
Any community in which mild small
pox occurs is at the mercy of these
missed cases. It is not within the
power of health officers to detect
them in time to protect others and the
individual is necessarily left to seek
his own protection. This is neither;
impossible nor difficult, since the offf-
ciency of vaccination as a preventive
of small pox has been unquestionably
established for decades.
“Every one should acquire this pro-
tection because the carelessness of
one in this respect may lead to the
quarantining of places of business, or
the mills and factories in which many
are employed, to the serious incon-
venience and financial loss of all.
“The creation of local sentiment
against the reckless person who will-
fully courts infection and, even more
so, against him who when ill with
symptoms resembling small pox does
not call a physician, is not only justi-
fied but essential if small pox once in-
troduced into a community is to be
eliminated in the shortest possible
time.”
Penn State Changes Entrance Re-
quirements.
Training in foreign language stud-
ies are no longer prescribed for en-
trance to several schools at The Penn-
sylvania State College. By a recent
ruling of the college senate, High
school graduates applying for admis-
sion to any one of the twenty-five
courses offered by the schools of ag-
riculture, engineering, mining and the
department of home economics, may
substitute other credits for entrance.
This is the most radical action on en-
trance requirements taken at Penn
State in many years. For the present
foreign language will still be an en-
trance requirement for the schools of
natural science and liberal arts, how-
ever.
This step is in keeping with the
great strides made in recent years by
industrial, vocational and commercial
High school training in Pennsylvania.
Fewer secondary schools are teach-
ing foreign languages, and beginning
next year the study of foreign lan-
guages will not be required of agri-
cultural students at Penn State. This
change does not lessen the fifteen
units of admission requirement at the
college. An increase in free elective
units has been made. These adjust-
ments are in line with the new High
school curriculum of the State De-
partment of Public Instruction.

Greatest Foes.
Every household should have its life-
guards. The need of them is especially
great when diseases, the greatest foes of
life, find allies in the very elements, as
colds, influenza, catarrh, the grip, and
pneumonia do in this stormy month.
The best way to guard against these
diseases is to strengthen the system with
Hood's Sarsaparilla—one of the greatest of
all life-guards. It removes the conditions
in which these diseases make their most
successful attack, gives vigor and tone to
the vital organs and functions, and im-
parts a genial warmth to the blood.
Remember, the weaker the system the
greater the exposure to disease. Hood's
Sarsaparilla makes the system strong.
If the liver is torpid or the bowels are
sluggish, causing biliousness or constipa-
tion, Hood’s Pills will be found of great
gervice. They are especially made to be
taken with Hood's Sarsaparilla. €7-10

FARM NOTES.
HOW TO RUN A PAYING DAIRY.
The paper below was written by
Declaration and the Constitution ; Lewis P. Satterthwaite, proprietor of
were not under proper protection, but Fountain Farm and raiser of Hol-|

Red poultry, Newtown, Bucks county,
Pa., and read by him at the annual

fault is always having bull calves. I
have one purebred cow descended
from a purebred heifer I bought, that
has dropped two heifer calves. She
has averaged 7263 pounds of milk for
two years.
Oh, how I wish more of purebred '
bureaus would get into the C. T. A.,!
and improve their herds, so that when
| some of the rest of- us want some’
. purebreds, we would know what we
were getting, and not give our good,

My brother and I started in with |
ten ordinary cows and finished up the
first year with six that averaged 5307
pounds of milk each.
The next year we raised our num-
ber to nine and the milk production
to 6456 pounds, an increase of 1149
pounds each.
The following year our average in-
creased only 100 pounds and the next
partment show that at present there ! year it dropped 25 pounds, and the
are but seven Pennsylvania communi- | year 1912 we dropped still further to
6406 pounds.
In 1910 we had built a silo and
of active cases in the State does not should have increased production.
HAMPERED BY TUBERCULOSIS.
We were going backward. The an-
swer was soon tound to my mind, as
| one evening, when going to the pas-
ture 1 found one cow down and unable '
to come to the barn. I had to kill her
and found she was in the last stage of
tuberculosis and we decided some of
the others must have it, too.
We decided to apply to the State |
and have the herd tested.
It was a sad blow, I thought, when
all was said and done, as the test re-
vealed the whole herd was infected,
except two out of twenty head.
I saw them slaughtered in Philadel-
phia one morning, and that evening,
along with my father went to West
Edmenston, N. Y., where I purchased
seventeen head, eleven high-grade
Holstein and six grade Guernseys, at
a price unheard of at that time in our
community, October, 1913, $125 for a
fresh cow.
TOOK A GOOD CHANCE.
I came near coming home without
them, but decided to take a chance.
Two of the Guernseys proved unprof-
itable and were soon disposed of.
We completed the year 1914 with an
increase of 2300 pounds over the old
herd, bringing the average of fifteen
head up to 8747 pounds. I commenced
to feel better. Two of the cows gave
over 10,000 pounds
thought that was a lot of milk.
The next year I had four to give:
over 10,000 pounds and none of them
the same as the previous year. One
failed to breed and the other dropped
back to 8000 pounds.
In 1916 we started the first C. M. A.
in the county and at the end of the
year the records showed that it did
not pay to keep a cow that gave less
than 7000 pounds of milk, unless a
dairyman was getting an extra price
for high butterfat milk, as she showed
a profit of about $60 over feed cost,
and after deducting labor and other
expenses, it did not leave much net
profit.
NEW DEPARTURE WORKS OUT WELL.
I then decided to raise calves from
cows that gave 7000 pounds or more
and that tested not less than 3 per
cent. fat. During this period, 1915,
1916 and 1917, I had plenty of alfalfa
and silage.
In the spring of 1918 I moved to
another farm and naturally it upset
my dairy, and had no alfalfa or sum-
mer silage, and that year my average
production dropped to 7400 pounds. In
1919 the average was 9592 pounds for
19 head and last year it was 9592
pounds for 17 head.
Three gave over 11,000 and four
gave over 10,000; 3 over 9,000, 2 over
8000, 5 over 7000 and 1 over 6800 for
10 months with first calf.
Two of my best cows died last year
and I sold six others to the butcher.
Two became unprofitable through old
age, two failed to breed, one had abor-
tion and became unprofitable, and one
had twins the previous year, which
seemed to break her down. This I
think accounts for last year’s lower
average.
I have had no roughage for four
years, except timothy hay and silage,
and feel certain that if I had alfalfa
or good mixed hay, the average would
have been far better.
So far we have only milked twice
daily, but feel that cows averaging
50 pounds or more daily should be
milked three times and a considerable
increase would be made.
AIMS AT 10,000 POUND AVERAGE.
My aim now is a 10,000-pound aver-
age for the herd, and I raise no
calves except from 10,000 dams. I
have always fed one pound of grains
to three and one-half pounds of milk
the year round, except when first
turning out to pasture, as the cows
would not consume that amount for
a while,
Many dairymen do not feed in sum-
mer, but I consider it poor economy,
as the cows freshen in the fall and
winter and are in a poor physical con-
dition and not in their prime for maxi-
mum milk production. I now have 28
head and have raised all of them
from the 17 head purchased in New
Job except four, which are pure-
8.
I have raised 40 calves since Sep-
tember, 1913, from the cows I bought.
Some one will say: A lot of work and
care. Yes, I admit that.
A few did not grow well, while
some did not produce up to my ex-
pectations and were disposed of;
others went far beyond my expecta-
tions.
EXPERIENCE WITH PUREBREDS.
Since 1914 I have purchased six
head of purebred Holsteins and have
only one of them left. The other five
were not worth the room they took up
and were sold at a sacrifice to the
butcher, and not to some other breed-
er, as some do.
each, and I:
{ breed than good, and the sooner they
| clean house the better.
{| AN HONEST C. T. A. RECORD BEST.
| When I buy a cow I want a yearly
‘record. Give me a C. T. A. record
honestly made under normal condi-
tions. It is worth far more than a sev-
en day record made under abnormal
conditions.
I have completed three full years
in the C. T. A. and six months in the
fourth, when it was necessary to dis-
: charge our tester owing to inefficient
"work and we were unable to secure
another one, and so had to drop our
! association. C. T. A. work in Bucks
| county seems to have hard sledding.
| He ran one association three and a
i half years and another one year. Both
i have died from lack of interest and
. testers. According to 1920 census we
i have 31,000 dairy animals in Bucks
county and we should have at least
| six associations going.
{ I have solicited C. T. A. members
i with our county agent and it is like
| pulling teeth to get them to join,
and joining take very little interest.
| Some think it costs too much; some
| say it is a good thing, but are not
ready to join; some, that they know
their cows are poor and want to get
better ones before starting; some,
that they expect to do it themselves
(but in reality never do), and some
are afraid to join because their cows
will show up so poorly.
Thare never was a time when a man
should put forth more effort to have a
good producing dairy than at present.
It is not a hard matter for any man
to keep a record of his doing and weed
out his boarders; and when you find
them, have courage to send them to
the shambles.
If it wasn’t for the boarders and
unprofitable cows, the dairy business
would be on a more prosperous basis
today. It is like keeping a set of farm
accounts to ascertain in what lines of
farming we are making our money
ror losing, and when we find the
leaks dispose of them, in so far as it
{is in our power to do so.
{ Itis very little trouble and the
| time is well spent in jotting down a
{ few figures each day, and at the end
i of the year itis a great source of sat-
i isfaction to see your year’s business
| on a sheet of paper. I have found it
| so for thirteen years. Get a good pure-
i bred bull and raise your own dairy,
for we can’t buy them unless we have
a pocket full of money to pay the
other fellow for raising them for us.
Use your scales one day each week
and keep the pencil working, and it
won’t be long before you have a good
dairy which is producing a nice prof-
it and a great source of satisfaction.
We get out of anything in life just
in Sropertion to what we do and put
in it.
PUBLIC CAMP GROUNDS
IN STATE FORESTS.
The Department of Forestry will
develop thirteen public camp grounds
in the State forests this spring. They
will be fully equipped for the conven-
ience of campers and sportsmen, and
will be ready for use when the trout
fishing season opens, April 15th.
To promote wider use of the State
forests and to encourage out-door
recreation in Pennsylvania, the De-
partment will provide open-front shel-
ters, or lean-tos, stone fire-places,
walled-up and covered springs, com-
fort stations, and in some instances,
public telephones at the various public
camp grounds. Use of the camp
grounds will be free, but permits is-
sued by the local forest officers will be
required when campers occupy a camp
for more than two days.
Nine of the camp grounds will be
equipped and situated particularly for
automobile tourists who carry their
camping outfits with them. These
camps will be along improved State
highways. One of them will be de-
veloped at Caledonia Park, on the Lin-
coln highway, between Gettysburg
and Chambersburg. Thousands of
automobile tourists, many of them
campers, motor over that highway to
the battlefield every summer, and it is
believed they will use the camp
ground maintained by the Depart-
ment.
Several camps will be off the main
highways, in the woods, for the ac-
commodation of fishermen and hunt-
ers. Other camp grounds will be de-
veloped when the Department has
funds available for the project.
rly An
WHALES BIG AND PLENTY
OFF CAPE MAY.
Hans Hansen and Peter Johansen,
two Cape May, N. J., fishermen, re-
port that while fishing for cod eight
miles east of Five Fathom Bank
lightship a few mornings ago they
were surrounded by a school of
whales, which came so near the
small fishing skiff that the fishermen
became frightened, pulled up their
anchor and moved away. Hansen
said that the whales were the biggest
that he ever had seen in his long fish-
ing experience.
Fishermen at Cape May say that
more whales have been sighted off
shore this year than for more than 20
years. They seemed to be hunting for
the Gulf Stream, which sea going men
say seems to be swinging in shore this
winter, a sign of early spring.
