Sporis Are Great Help to Right
Citizenship.
Games and sports were advocated
before the National Education asso-
ciation by James Edward Rogers, di-
rector of the National Physical Edu-
cation service as means of “teaching
those traits of character that are es-
sential to good citizenship.”
Asserting that the world needs
sportsmanship in its international and
business relationships, he declared
that physical education “teaches sport
not for sport’s sake, but for the sake
of sportsmanship.”
“There is a close correlation be-
tween physical fitness and personal
efficiency in business, success in hu-
man relationships and happiness at
home and abroad,” he said.
“A physicaly fit person is more
likely to be efficient, happy and use-
ful. A physicaly fit nation is better
prepared to meet any emergencies
either from within or without. Indus-
trial waste from inefficiency and ill-
ness can be substantially reduced
through better physical fitness pro-
grams.” :
Explains Live Bait Rule; 50
Limit,
Buler
Queries reaching the offices of the
Board of Fish Commissioners indicate
that many fishermen do not yet un-
derstand the provisions of the live
bait act passed in 1925, N. R. Buller,
commissioner of fisheries, said today.
The law, Buller said, provides that
no person, including a dealer in live
bait, may have more than fifty in his
possession at one time. The only ex-
ception is when the bait has been fur-
nished by a commercial grower. Such
growers must be licensed and they
furnish the buyer with a certificate
which will protect him for six days
after he has purchased bait in excess
of the legal limit.
The adoption of the bait limit pro-
vision folowed requests made by
sportsmens’ organizations to prevent
the practice followed by those who
made a business of catching bait for
market. The board also objected to
the practice because it distributes
more than a million bait fish each year
in waters in which the public is al-
lowed te fish.
United States May Have to Import
Beef Within Next Two or
Three Years.
The United: States, long the world’s
greatest producer of meat, may be
forced soon to import its beef, said
Lord Kyslant, of London, transpor-
tation magnet and president of the
Federation of Chambers of Com-
merce, at the Pembrokeshire Agri-
cultural Fair. Argentina meat will
have to be exported to the United
States within two or three years “un-
less American farmers produce con-
siderably more cattle,” he said.
“Higher prices also may result be-
cause of the growing United States
population and consequent greater de-
mand for meat,” he aded. “If the
United States imports Argentine!
meats, consumers of Britain will sud-
denly realize that not enough meat is
produced in either Argentine or
British dominions to meet both Amer-
ican and British requirements.”
One Eyed’ Cars Menace Travel.
A new drive is in prospect on auto-
ists who are neglecting their lights by
the State highway patrol. At pres-
ent the patrol is concentrating all its
efforts to enforce the new regulation
of the State that all cars must be
brought to a complete stop before en-
tering main highways from side
roads.
At the same time it is evident that
there is a general disregard of the
orders to have lights focussed, as
some are so brilliant now as to com-
pletely blind drivers approaching in
the opposite direction.
The State was rigorous in enforc-
ing the light regulation in the spring
and at that time there was a general
observance of the law. Light bulbs
will play out if used long enough, and
unless replaced will give a car at night
a “one eyed” appearance.
$159,735,290 Fees Paid in 22 Years.
Motorists of Pennsylvania have
paid $159,735,290.56 to the State since |
the motor vehicle license act became |
effective in 1906.
In the first year of the licenses !
Pennsylvania had 10,954 passenger |
and commercial cars and the license |
receipts amounted to $42,460.42, con-
sidered large at the time. There was
a flat license then for all types of
motor vehicles. Last year there were
1,365,826 passenger and 217,937 com-
mercial cars in Pennsylvania and
their owners paid $25,916,220.45 to
the State Highway Department in ii-
cense fees.
Singers and Their Tonsils.
Removal of the tonsils rarely af-
fects the singing voice, if the opera-
tion is performed by an experienced
surgeon, says Hygeia Magazine. In
many cases improvement has result-
ed. If frequent attacks of tonsilitis
occur, the tonsils should be removed,
even in a professional singer. Spe- |
cialists in diseases of nose and throat |
who have had a large experience and |
have removed tonsils from many pro-
fessional singers state that they have
never had anything but favorable re-
sults.
2509 Schools Have Been Discontinued.
Compilation of county allotments
for closed schools today revealed there
are 2509 of them in the State. The
allotment for each school permanent-
ly closed or discontinued is $200.
Bradford with 203 has the largest
number of closed schools. Crawford
is next with 169 and Tioga third with
139.

MA), GEN. ALLEN
LEADS VETERANS
Accepts Post at Head of ex-
Soldiers’ Bureau in S—'"
Campaign.
liujur General Henry T. Alicii. + ine
manding General of the American
Army of Occupation in Germany and
a popular national military figure. 18
directing the activities of the Vetere
ans’ Bureau of the Democratic Nae
tional Committee. Major General Ale
len agreed to head the bureau followe
ing a talk with Chairman John J. Ras-
kob.
“l know the soldiers would have a
very good friend in Governor Smith,”
said General Allen. “Moreover, [
think Governor Smith appeals to them
in a very striking manner by reason
of his personality and record. 1 feel
that the soldiers haven't had a very
large say in the affairs of the country
as compared with what they ordinare
ily have had after every great war,
but, of course, it would be impossible
to keep down all the husky men who
were organized during the great war
and they will be heard from during
the coming years.”
“The Veteran's Bureau is a division
of the campaign which is of very great
importance,” Chairman Raskob said
in announcing the appointment. “The
veterans are entitled to know all about
the candidate, what he stands for, and
the policies of the party, and we are
keenly anxious to have an opportus
nity of telling the veterans what we
know about Governor Smith's record
and charactgr.”
Major General Allen served as Coms
-aanding General of the Army of Occus
pation in Germany for three and one-
half years. He was later advisor to
the American Ambassador to Great
Britain at the conference of Ambassa-
dors in Paris during the Harding ad-
ministration.
After a distinguished military career
ueneral Allen was promoted to Major
General just before the United States
entered the World War and organized
the Ninetieth Division, which he led
in the major offensives at St. Mihiel
and the Argonne-Meuse. As Commans
der of the Army of Occupation he was
a member of the Inter-Allied Rhine
High Commission.
FARM HEAD DEFEND:
BOLT TO GOV. SMITH
Peek Tells Gov. Hamill Demo-
rr~tis Party’s Pledge Is
Ample.
The Democratic party endorsed the
equalization fee in principle in the
Houston platform, George N. Peek, of
Moline, Ill, the chairman of the Com-
mittee of Twenty-two of the North
Central States Agricultural Confer-
ence, declared in a letter to Governor
John Hamill of Iowa.
Mr. Peek challenged Governor Ham-
ll to call another conference of Gov-
ernors of the states represented in the
North Central States Agricultural Cone
ference to sit in judgment upon his
action in declaring his support of
Governor Smith. The letter was in
reply to one from Governor Hamill to
Mr. Peek in which the Iowa Governor
accused him of having gone beyond
the power vested in the Committee of
Twenty-two in bolting the Republican
party.
Governor Hamill in his letter to Mr.
eek said farm relief legislation had
been blocked by “politics.” Mr. Peck
in his letter to Governor Hamill as-
serted the legislation was blocked by
an “unsympathetic” President, with
the approval of Mr. Hoover and Sec-
retary of the Treasury Mellon.
“You say that the Democratic party
sailed to endorse the equalization
fee,” wrote Mr. Peek, “To be sure,
it did not by name endorse the equali-
zation fee or the McNary-Haugen bill,
! but it very definitely endorsed the
principle of the equalization fee when
it said: ‘We pledge the party to an
earnest endeavor to solve this probe
! lem of the distribution of the cost of
dealing with crop surpluses over the !
marketed units of the crop whose pro-
ducers are benefited by such assist-
ance. The solution of this problem
would avoid government subsidy to
which the Democratic party always
has been opposed and will be a prime
and immediate concern of a Demo-
cratic administration.’
“These principles have formed the
+asis of farm relief that twice passed
Congress in legislation, that would
have furnished the opportunity for the
farmers to get the benefit from tariffs
on crops of which we export a sure
plus—legislation that was passed only
to meet twice with the veto of an un-
sympathetic President who never ad-
vanced a constructive proposal him-
self addressing the problem. And this
in the face of the platform pledges of
his party upon which he was elected
‘to take whatever steps are necessary
to bring about a balanced condition
between agriculture, industry and
labor.” ”
HEADS WOMEN IN INDUSTRY
Agnes Hart Wilson of Blossburg,
Pennsylvania, running for Congress
in the sixteenth Pennsylvania Dis-
trict asserted®her support of Gover-
nor Smith by saying that she believes
he wiil aggressively enforce the Pre-
hibition law until it is repealed ee
modified.

Herd of Horses Ready to Start Death
Journey.
southwest are in a great death march
as a result of the increase in beef
prices.
Range grass is not plentiful enough
to feed both the cattle herds and the
thousands of unproductive wild horses
that roam the plains. Ranchers have
declared that the wild horse must die
probably in reduction plants.
By a curious irony of fate, the only
route by which many of the doomed
animals can be driven to the plant at
El Paso is over the desolate 100-mile
highway from Hillsboro, N. M., that
thirst-tortured Spaniards three cen-
turies ago named “Jornado del
Muerto”—the Journey of Death!”
For the broomtail ponies and the
wild burros, the barren trail is truly
a journey of death. Water is scarce
on the trail and lockjaw breaks out in
some of the herds. For the animals
who escape death on the trail, there
are the bullets of the slaughter house
executioner.
There have been wild horses in
west Texas and New Mexico ever
since animals escaped from the camps
of Cortez and De Soto in the 16th
century. Little disturbed by man,
and in recent years constantly aug-
mented by strays from ranches, and
cavalry posts, immense herds formed.
Once in a while cattlemen round up
a few and break them for ranch pur-
poses. In 1918 several thousand were
corralled and sent to France to drag
artillery pieces for the Allies. Only
recently have the herds been consid-
ered a menace.
The doom of the wild horse was
sealed with the record price of beef
in 1927. As a result of the barring of
i animals from Argentina on account
of foot and mouth disease, American
, beef commanded the highest prices
since the World War. For the first
time in years there was an incentive
for the cattleman to raise maximum
herds. He is doing that this year and
the wild horse must make room.
| Reduction plants pay from $2 to
| $10 for the horses, depending upon
, the condition of the hide, which is the
most profitable item.
Did You Ever Stop to Think.
That the lack of interest on the
i part of many business men holds
back the development of business for
many cities.
That whether or not this lack of in-
terest is to continue is up to them.
{ That where a portion of the busi-
‘ness men show a lack of aggressive-
iness, a tendency to stay in the old
irut, and get an idea in their head
i that business will be good without
any effort on his part, that just helps
‘to kill all business.
{ That when they do it they will find
| many of their fellow citizens getting
i the habit of going to some other city
to trade.
The most of this out-of-town trad-
{ing is done because of the lack of
‘push and advertising on the part of
the home merchants.
That the merchants who sit tight
,and take only what business is
, coming to them usually haven’t much
coming to them and don’t get much.
That the business men that succeed

National and State Grange Endorses
College Bond Issue.
That sentiment favoring the pas-
sage of the $8,000,000 bond issue for
buildings at the Pennsylvania State
College is increasing throughout the
State is evident in the many reports
and endorsements coming to college
officials.
Because this bond issue provides
benefits for many future generations
it has received the hearty endorse-
ment of the National Grange and the
Pennsylvania State Grange. Two of
its most ardent supporters are Louis
J. Taber, master of the National
Grange, and E. B. Dorsett, master of
the State Grange. Taber urges all
farmers and grangers to support the
constitutional amendment at the No-
vember election as “a most noble and
worthy cause” and as backing for the
State Grange gift to the college of a
memorial dormitory for girls.
Twelve thousand alumni and form-
er students and eighteen thousand
parents of present and past students
of the college, during the past week,
have joined in the intensive educa-
tional campaign to inform voters of
State College conditions and need for
new buildings. Next week 14,000 en-
gineering extension students will join
these workers armed with facts sup-
plied by organized alumni and par-
ents,
Lots of Soft Coal in Pennsylvania.
There is an immense quantity of
soft coal remaining in Pennsylvania,
according to a survey by Dr. George
H. Ashley, state geologist. He es-
timates the recoverable soft coal at
mere than 44,000,000,000 tons.
Clearfield has 2,165,400,000 tons,
while Centre county has 275,076,000.
The survey covered 25 counties of
the State in which bituminous or
semi-bituminous coal is found.
The experts in making up their
figures did not consider any seams of
coal less than 18 inches in thickness.
They worked a year and a half in ar-
riving at their estimate after all the
data had been gathered and the work
of geting this was started in 1921.
