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.

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,

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.

The mutual deeire of parents and

hurting ber, Bometime in the night

COUNTY FARM AGENT ON
SELECTION OF SEED OORN,
Dae To Early Frost There is Need of usre«
fal ¥election and Proper Storage,
Not within the last several years has
the selection and storage of seed corn
been so important as it is this fall
Due to the early frost there is a great
deal soft corn and a large moisture con-
tent in most all of our corn,
One of the most important factors in
the production of a good yleld ls good
seed which has been selected and stored
to insure a good germination and high
yield. 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,

THE VALUE OF PLAY,
Littie Talks on Health aud Hyglen by Sam.
url G, Dixon, M, D,, LL, ©, D, 80, Com-
mrispioner of Health,
Most people would say that play's
firat requisite was that it should con-
sists of something one doesn’t have to
do. 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.
