A VICIOUS RUMOR, “ Among the many absurd and wvic- fous rumors put into circulation these days, probably through pro-German in fluences, 18 one that United States pro- poses to confiscate money on de- posit in banks. The absurdity of the statement is obvicus on its face. These rumors sare wholly without foundation and probably circulated for an evil purpose. The Government bas no power to confiscate the money of depositors in banks, "—From state- ment of Secretary McAdoo, ——— Worth the Cost of the War, “I suppose not many fortunate by- products can come out of a war, but if the United States can learn something about saving out of this war it will be worth the cost of.the war ; I mean the literal cost of it in money and re- sources, I suppcse we have several times over wasted what we are now about to spend. We have not known that there wes any limit to our re- sources ; we are now finding out that there may be if we are not careful”. — From President Wilson’s speech to the War-Savings Committee. ————— i —————— Who Names the Battles ? It will bavs occurred to the thought- » ful reader that somebody must name the battles that are being fought on the other side, yet there seems to be no official tities given by any of the gov- ernments, In fact, titles of battles of- ficially adopted usually are merely con- firmatory—accepting the title already adopted by mankind from some other source, What is that other source? A bsttle is fought one day—or week— and the next day or week every news paper on earth applies the same name to the battle ; and so do the people and writers of history. There pees to be an informsl meth- od that causes newspapers to hang on- to the first good name given a battle, Usually the press associations help by referring to the name * adopted” in their press accounte, which go to thousands of newspapers the same day or night, and do much to “christen” a battle. The fighting in Italy, for instance beginning about two weeks or more ago, at first had no definite name, The battle wen} unnamed until the Italians reached the Tagliamento river and at this writing the fighting is al- ready being referred to as the * Battle of the Tagliamento ’’, In the present war rivers seem to be favorite for the naming of battles, the Marne, Bomme, Ailsne and others seeming to come handy for the purpose. The real naming of battles, however, seems to be done by the press; and this is only logical. Bome newspaper correspondents at the front name a battle when it has barely started—and the queer thing about it is that the name very fre- quently sticks, The Battle of the Marne, for instance, was referred to by this name the day it began, though it lasted more than a week, AGAIN BREAK UP OAVALRY, EA First Pennsylvania’ Dismembered and Men Fut in other Branches, The 101st United States Cavalry, for- merly the lst Pennsylvania Cavalry, is again dismembered, an order being fesued from headquarters on Monday, transferring the various units of the cavalry to the artillery and engineer- ing regiments, at Camp Hancock, This order came as a surprise to the cavalrymen, who were three weeks ago transferred to their old Troopr, and it bad been rumored that they would be sent to the Mexican border for service there. The mea of the 101st are very much dissatisfied with the new order and do not hesitate to say so. The of- ficers, though dissatisfied, are making their arrangements to transfer the per- sonnel and equipment to the new units to which they have Leen sseigned. ” B, H,L Aitney Se'ls Home, . H, Arney sold his home, i distely south of the Grange ball, last week, to William E. Tate, of pear Centre Hall, who will occupy the place next epring. The consideration was $2700.00. About the eame time Mr, Arney, through his son, A. Miles Arpey, closed a deal on a residence properly at Niagara Falle, New York, to which place Mr, and Mre. Arney will goabout April 1st, It is here that their son hae resided for a umber of years, be- ing busily employed io one of the large electric power plantas. The mutual deeire of parents and son to be in closer touch with each other during the former's advancing years, was the cause for the change. The bandeome home of the late J. W. Mitteriing, located south of the Reformed church in Centre Hal', was sold Tuesaday at public sale, by the ad- ministrators. The property was pur- chased by F.

Bpring crib selection no mat- ter how carefully done cannot be as ef- fective as selection in the fall and ee- pecially this ye’ r whon one would be taking a big chance on getting some frosted corn and poor germination in the spring. As soon as the corn is selected it should be stored in a dry place having free circulation of air in order that it may dry as quickly as porsible before freezing sets in. A well ventilated at- tic above the kitchen or other heated room is as good a place as any. The corn should not be placed in piles but should be placed so that there is free circulation about each ear. A good plan is to string the ears up or to ar- range them on racks and hang them up where the rats and mice cannot reach them, R. H.

Play Is .n reality, however, of all descriptions, Those that produce something useful besides giving rest are greatly to be preferred, There are many eorts equally stimulating to the mind and to the body and productive of valuable results, One essential to benefical play is that it be wholesome and be performed in healthful environment, that le, where we have pure moving air of the right temperature and preferably run- light, The body should be maintained in such position ss to permit an even cir- culation of the blood and normal respl- ration. The object of the exerciee would otherwise be very much dis- counted. The air carries food to the blood which it furnishes to the tissues, and the blood in turn takes away the debris and returns it to the outside at. mosphere. This will make it plain to aby reader the necessity of what hes been said about the proper environ. ment in which to exercise, Unless the blood is supplied with what nature has provided for norms! function, the digestive system will fail and the body will be wanting io nour- fshment, When this condition takes place man becomes susceptible to the disease germs that are ever present in the atmosphere. The greatest safety is to be found in keeping up the resis!~ ence. I! is much essler to baitle sgainst the germ organisms before they get establisbed in the aysiem. Ounce they establish themeelves in the tizeues they generate polsons which io- terfere with the normal working of the body and enable them to nourich themselves and incresse, oflen at an slarming rate, Ino fac’ some of them reproduce themselves to Lhe extent of thousande, yes, hundreds of thousands in minutes of time. Variation of types of work properly adjusted wil often substitute for what is generally known as play. For in- stapc”, ond’s brain center may becom wea'y al 8 monotonous occupation, and a decided change of occupation, potwilbsiandiog it may be what we usually eal’ work, will permit the first brain center lnvoived Lo rest while an other works, But we come back to the fact bhst what most people regard se play is an occupation that they are not riquired to perform, and it would seem from » peychological standpoint to give great. er rest if it be an occuption that is pa:- ticularly usefal (rom {be standpoint of producing econ mic results Therefore there should be {ime set aside ln the work of the day, no matter whether it be varied or not, when the environment may be changed and play should be taken up, I speak of games in a broad sense, For lustanoe, after sitting at a task for a given number of hours, 8 walk in the open air, the body held erect and the limbs swinging so as to produce circulation, and stiention given to surrogudipge, go thet the mind may be cccupled and contented, constitutes one of the best kinds of play, preferab- ly performed in company. Ip theese times it is well to remem- ber the saylog of the old days that all work and no play makes Jack a du'l boy. ———— lp fp tl ——— Paul Master A Striksont Artist, Now that Psul Musser, Millbeim's professional beeeball pitcher, has again entered the big leagues, ‘he Chicago White Sox lsying claim to him next year, the sporticg writers in the city dailies are uncovering Musser's work in the minor leaguer, and have come upon some startiing revelations, They have discovired Masser to be a regular Rube Waddell with regard to his strikeout record.
