THE CHILDREN.
Then the lessons and tasks are all ended,
And the school for the day is dis
missed, .
nd the little ones gatther arund me
To bid me good night and be kissed;
h, the little white arms that encircle
My neck in a tender embrace !
h, the smiles that are halos of heaven,
Shedding sunshine of love on my
face! =
nd when they are gone, I sit dreaming
Of my childhood too lovely to last;
Of love, that my heart will remember
| When it wakes to the pulse of the
past:
re the world and wickedness made me
A partner of sorrow and sin,
7hen the glory of God was about me,
When the glory of gladness within.
ih! the heart grows weak as a woman's,
| And the fountain of feelings will flow,
yhen I think of the paths steep and
stony
Where the feet of the dear ones must
:{H
if the mountains of sin hanging o'er
"them, :
Of the tempest of fate blowing wild;
)h, there's nothing on earth half so
holy
As the innocent heart of a child.
‘hey are idols of hearts and of house:
holds,
They are angels of God in disguise,
[is sunlight still sleeps in their tresses,
His glory still gleams in their eyes;
bh, these truants from home and from
heaven,
They have made me more manly and
mild,
nd I know how Jesus could liken
The kingdom of God to a child.

{IX MCNTH TOLL IN AUTO
CRASHES REACHES 882 DEAD.
During the first six months of
929 as many persons were injured
n Pennsylvania motor vehicle crashes
s reside in Juniata county. For
ach twenty-one and a quarter
rashes one person was killed. The
lead, 882; the injured, 14,596. The
igures were compiled by the bureau
f motor vehicles, Department of
Revenue.
The number of male drivers in-
solved in 18,755 accidents reported
o the bureau was eighteen times the
umber of women. For every thirty
rashes involving a male driver one
yerson was killed, but in smashes in-
solving women operators,
vere required to produce one fatality.
Seven hundred and six boys and
sirls under 18 years of age were con-
‘erned in accidents; and the number
f mature operators ranging in age
rom 25 to 54 was 16,858, Twice as
nany men and women over 55 years
ld were involved in wrecks as boys
nd girls-under-13. eee
Two thousand and ten crashes
were said to have been caused by ex-
sessive speed, but 6,501 were the re-
sult of errors of judgment and viola-
fons of Motor Code provisions. A
‘otal of 1,755 wrecks occurred be-
sause operators “drove off the road.”
Four times as many mishaps oc-
sured when operators were making
eft turns as when they were turning
right, but 13,936 of the 18,755 wrecks
-ame when drivers were traveling
straight ahead. A third of the total
sccurred at street intersections in
~ities or towns, and nearly 9,000 on
straight, level, hazardless sections of
State highway.
Children playing on the streets
were involved in 902 accidents, and
forty-eight of these youngsters
were killed. Seven hundred and fifty-
four pedestrians walked carelessly
pehind a parked car, and 605 were
crossing thoroughfares between cross-
ings.
She number of pedestrians killed
was 507; the number of motor ve-
hicle occupants, 375. i
Saturday and Sundays brought
7,117 of the 18,755 crashes, and of
the grand total 8,449 occurred be-
tween 4 and 10 p. m. Between 1 and
six in the morning 978 accidents oc-
curred.
In June the figures show, 16 per-
sons were killed, eighty-nine were
destrians. The June percentage of
pedestrians killed, compared with the
total deaths, is higher than for the
half-year period. The total number
of accidents in June of 1929 was 3,~
627, compared with 2,305 in June,
1928.
Accident reports tell only one
story,” commented Benjamin G.
Eynon, Commissioner of Motor Ve-
hicles. “It is the story of the failure
of human intelligence at a critical
moment. No road or street is safer
than the weakest intellect using it.
There is no good reason for any of
the 18,755 crashes reported to the
Motor Vehicles Bureau during the
first six months of 1929.” .
VACCINATION REQUIRED
FOR SCHOOL ENTRANCE.
In a statement issued this week by
Dr. J. Bruce McCreary, Duputy Sec-
retary of Health, the attention of
parents, school boards, school princi-
pals and teachers was called to the
importance of securing successful
vaccination against smallpox during
the vacation season for all children
who will be ready to start upon their
school career for the first time this
coming autumn. ,
“The law requires,” said Dr, Mc-
Creary, that certificate of successful
vaccination be submitted or, in case
no successful result has been obtain-
ed after two attempts, the authoriz-
ed school medical inspector's certifi
cate of revaccination before any new
entrants may be admitted to school.
Dr. McCreary particularly caution-
ed principals and directors against
pérmitting children to enter school
without presenting the legal certifi
cate required, as such action Is
|against the law.

| TIMELY TOPICS FROM THE
GAME COMMISSION.
The Game Commission is now in
' position to furnish blanks to those
desiring a license to breed or raise
fur bearing animals in captivity, or
| to operate a fur farm on unfenced
marsh or other land and water areas.
The cost of such license is $1.00.
The law governing the raising of
| muskrats under said license is as
follows: “Any muskrats propagated
in holding pens So constructed that
. muskrats in a wild state can not en-
| ter, may be disposed of at anytime of
the year.”
! The owner of any natural muskrat
swamps not fenced, may post such
areas, but he is permitted to take
, such animals only during the open
i season. By special permit secured
from the Board of Game Commis-
sioners he is permitted to trap not
more than ten muskrats during the
closed season for breeding purposes.
New metal signs to act as outside
| boundary line markers of lands pur-
chased by the Game Commission
have been secured. These will be put
up by the field officers in the near
. future. The signs are red with white
| letters.
The live animal exhibits of the
Game Commission will soon be on
the road again visiting some of the
county fairs. These “traveling cir-
| cuses” will consist of deer, bear, wild-
' cats, foxes, raccons, opossums, squir-
rels, weasels, various hawks and
owls, and an eagle or two. Ring-
necked pheasants will also be on dis-
play. The itinerary for the exhibits,
which is not now fuly completed will
be. published later. Each exhibit will
contain a new feature this year with
' the addition of a balopticon which
continuously projects colored lantern
| slides showing the activities of the
Commisssion. These will no doubt
be placed just outside the exhibit
tent where they can readily be seen
by all passers-by.
At the present time smaller ex-
hibits consisting of the balopticon
and a few of the animals, are being
used at the various Scout camps
throughout the State.
There seems to be some misunder-
standing on the part of many persons
concerning the bounty on goshawks
which was provided for during the
past legislature. Bounty on the gos-
hawk is not effective now as is
thought by a number of persons who
have submitted various hawks re-
cently. Instead the $5.00 bounty
is for hawks killed between
November 1 and May 1. The
entire carcass of the bird must be
sent to the offices of the Game Com-
mission within 36 hours after killing.
Thirty-two years ago the appro-
priation by the Board of Game Com-
| missioners amounted to the scant sum
i of $800.00 and this was used entirely
| for postage and express. This year
' $200,000 is being set aside by the
Board for the purchase of additional
; refuges and public shooting grounds.
| During June officers of the Game
' Commission brought. 79 prosecu-
| tions_for violation of the Game laws.
|The majority of the charges were
| for dogs chasing game
| closed season.
i Two additional records of the Gos-
| nawks have been secured. These
came from Somerset county near the
West Virginia line. They are the on-
ly southern Pennsylvania records for
this species recorded thus far.
Thirty-nine deer were killed by
farmers during June as a protection
to property. Twenty-nine of these
were retained for food, six were sent
to charitable institutions, and four
were unfit for use.
If motorists would forget to apply
the brakes when the sneaking house
cat is foraging along the highways
at dusk a great saying of young game
birds and animals would be affected.
Everyone naturally dislikes the idea
of “doing away” with “tabby” but
when you see a cat pounce upon a
full-grown rabbit and has reached
the jugular vein even before you can
jump from your car to prevent the
slaughter, your mind is changed con-
siderably. Field officers of the Game
Commission witness such incidents
almost daily and they account for a
good many homeless cats, too.
During June 605 claims for bounty,
amounting to $1,595 ,were paid by
the Game Commission. 1218 weasels,
89 gray foxes, 3 red foxes, and 1
| wild cat were probated. The bounty
on the red fox was removed effec-
tive May 14, 1929. The three claims
on the red fox paid during June
i
en prior to May 14.
Approximately $175,000 was allot-
ted for the purchase of more than
27,500 acres of land adjoining exist-
ing game refuges. Among the pur-
Limerick township, Montgomery
county, which will be added to the
John S. Fisher game farm.
Protected last year, blackbirds
may be killed between August 1 and
November 30. The hunting periods
for migratory and wild water fowl
will be announced later in accordance
with federal regulations not yet pub-
lished. :
Wild turkeys, Pennsylvania's most
sought for game bird, will be legal
game between November 1 and 15.
A closed season will exist for ruffled
grouse, commonly called pheasants.
Male ringneck pheasants may be
killed from November 1 to 15.
The season on squirrels, any kind
except red or pine, is from Novem-
ber 1 to 30. The same dates set the
open season for bob-white quail, rab-
bits and hares. Red squirrels may be
shot from November 1 to August 15.
Bears over one year old may be
shot from November 1 to December
15. The season for deer with two or
more points yisible on one antler ex-
tends from December 1 to 15. That
of male elk with four or more points
to one antler runs the same period.
In all cases, the commission an-
ndunced, the bag limits, daily season
and camp, will be the same as in for-
mer years.

JUST A GIRL.
Many a throne has had to fall
For a girl,

Many a king has had to crawl
For a girl,
Just a girl,

For a girl,
Just a girl,

But ’tis likelier by far
That he sallies forth to fight
For a girl,

When the doctor turns to say:
“It’s a girl,

Papa murmurs with dismay:
“What ! a girl,

Ah, but why the sadness there?
Why the bitterness displayed?
Some day some strong man will swear
That the great round world was
made
For that girl,
Just that girl.
Why did Adam take a bite?
For a girl,
Just a girl,
Why was Troy swept out of sight?
For a girl,
Just a girl,
Oh, would Heaven still be bright,
And would any good man care
To achieve it if he might
And never claim forever there,
Just a girl,
Glorious girl?

| Although the small hat continues
its triumphant reign, many of the
leading designers have turned their
attention to the large hat.
There are many women who do not
feel that it is Summer, unless their
wardrobe includes a big droopy hat,
and for these patrons, the milliners
have designed some very attractive
models. The new big hats are langur-
ous and alluring. They are much in
vogue for daylight-dining.
It is worthy of comment that the
transparent hat is not much seen this
season. The new straws are So
flexible and soft, that it is not aston-
ishing to find them so much in use,
as a fine weave gives an infinitely
better line than does c.inoline or
horsehair. ;
For the larger hat, this year, is
essentialy symmetric, and straw, es-
pecially the finer weaves of baku.
lends itself to the correct interpreta-
tion of the mode. The finer straws
are much used with chiffon, a very
successful alliance.
Although Agnes has done much
to promote the vogue of the turban
and beret, she is one of the designers
who has done interesting things with
the larger hat this season.
And the recent warm weather has
seen some of her versions of the
summer hat worn by women who
vowed that they would remain faith-
ful to the skullcap type of hat.
Agnes made this hat of a very thin
baku in palest leaf green, with an
edging of chiffon in the same delec-
table shade. )
It is symmetric in line, and looks
like a problem in geometry with its
three triangles. These are fashioned
and sewn on the right side.

FARM NOTES.
—It pays to warm the poultry.
—It requires 21 days to hatch hen
eggs.
—Care must be taken that chicks
do not crowd in corners and smother.
—Shut the sheep in at night, al-
lowing them to bed in the corral or
shed.
—Coccidiosis usually occurs in
young chicks from two to six weeks
of age.
—When the poults are about eight
weeks old, they can be removed to
the rearing ground.
—Tapeworms have been named as
the cause of death of 50 per cent of
the chickens in some flocks.
—The profit from the farm flock
depends to a large extent on the
number of eggs the hens lay.
—Changing breeds every year has
never yet been found a safe founda-
tion for a profitable poultry business.
—A month lost in growing out
pullets means the loss of a month’s
production next fall when eggs area
good price.
— Hens cannot lay eggs without
protein. Skim milk is one of the best
forms of protein for use with all
classes of poultry.
—Any variety of wheat is good for
poultry. In fact, small undeveloped
shriveled wheat if dry is even better
than the fully developed kernel.
—The farmer who produces eggs
of uniform color, weighing an aver-
age of 23 ounces per dozen, and
which are held in a cool cellar, can
ship to eastern markets by express
to advantage.
— Mongrel geese plucked regularly
yield one pound of feathers a year.
Pure-bred geese yield twice as many
and, besides the good prices of feath-
ers obtained, the goose is worth more
on the market.
— Runner ducks are classed as lay-
ing ducks and are the only breed rec-
ognized in that classification. In
many instances Runners have produc-
ed as many eggs as chickens. If
managed properly ducks of this
breed may be expected to lay almost
as well as hens. These ducks are
small in size, the males weighing
four to four and one-half pounds and
the females three and a half to four
pounds. In spite of the fact that they
are heavy layers they mature quite
rapidly and make good broilers. They
are killed for this purpose when they
weigh about two and a half to three
pounds. These ducks are long and
narrow bodied. The body is carried
row, very erect.
— Really wonderful results with
turkeys are reported from the Onta-
rio government turkey farm in Nor-
folk county. Years ago this province
used to raise turkeys by the thous- |
ands but disease got in and flocks
have been diminishing to such an ex-
tent that each year thousands of
birds are brought in from the West.
p————————————
Potatoes!
In 1928 Centre County produced 364,000
bushels of potatoes. They were sold at an
average price of 63¢t per bushel, producing
$229.000.
Potatoes are a paying crop, even at this
low price.
On August 19th to 22nd a Potato Exhib-
it will be held at State College, where the
the latest information regarding their cul-
ture will be given.
It pays to farm scientifically and it costes
nothing to learn how.
This Exposition will help you. Arrange
to attend.

The disease puzzlea people and ex-
cept where there was unlimited
range the raising of turkeys lan-
guished. Even in the places where |
there was plenty of range, such as
in the rocky districts on the edge of
forest lands, difficulties in the shape |
of foxes and wolves were encounter- |
ed. It looked for a while as if there |
would be practically no turkeys rais-
ed in Ontario. But Prof. W. R. Gra-
ham took hold of the thing and he
soon found out that the disease came |
from the ground and the germs were
so hardy that they could live over in
the coldest weather. He adopted |
the plan of feeding everything in
troughs and moving these troughs :
each day and his results have been
unusually successful. Losses have
been light on the experimental tur-
key farm and some excellent birds
raised.
—An important item in the care
of young goslings is to keep them
warm and quiet for the first few
days and an equally important item
in their feeding is to start them out
on green feed, preferably tender
grass.
For about two days after hatching
goslings show little inclination to do
anything but keep warm and quiet.
They may come from under the hen
and nibble at whatever they may see
that is edible. They are most partial
to grass and tender plants but will
take a little mash if it is offered and
will dabble their bills in the water.
After that the goslings begin to
take more interest in affairs and will
feed industriously for short periods,
always prefer short, tender grass
and weeds for its diet, with mash
and other substantial feed that may
be offered in small amounts. A com-
mon mistake is to feed green food as
an accessory to grain feed when it
should form the principal part of the
ration with mash and grain as an
accessory to the green stuff. i
Goslings may be brooded with
hens or in small colony brooders or
with geese. In the latter case they '
will get along very well if left to the
old birds, the keeper supplying a soft
feed of grain once or twice a day as
the appetites of the goslings may |
dictate. This is true only when the
range is ample and furnishes good
grazing. The geese which are mated
with one gander will usually raise |
their broods in one group, the gan-
der being watchful over his whole
family. |
. When the goslings are brooded by
hens or brooders they require close
attention ‘while small. They should
be confined for the first few days in|
pens which will keep them near: the
hen or brooder. These pens can be
made. of narrow wire netting or
boards and placed on sod: When, the
goslings clean off the grass they
should be moved.
