Retail stores through which the War Department has sold many millions worth of commodities to the public at cost, will be continued until stocks have been practically exhausted or until v'overhead” charges in any given case exceed 10 per cent of receipts from sales. It is announced by the War Department that most of the items adapted for sales through these stores have been market- ed, and the expense of operation is in creasing rapidly. After the stores have been closed, the War Department says, a new method of disposing of the remainder of the Gov- ernment’s surplus stocks will be adopted. Lists of the remaining stocks will be prepared. These will give a description of the material and facts as to the quan. tity and place of storage. In each in- stance the minimum quantity on which bids will be received will be fixed as the smallest practical shipping unit, regard- less of the total offered for sale. The total receipts from sales through the more than seventy stores operated by the deg 48,210 to February 13, week en ing on that dat $7173, 17 nt as yartme were $2 5.5 y 1920.

Their aggregate borrowings were above $15,000,000, These loans were for long periods and at interest rates much below those charged by private lenders. Many thousands of farmers have been benefited by this fed- eral loan plan since its inception, thousands more have reaped aa in- direct advantage through the reduction in interest rates brought about by this governmental agency. Like the Fe« al Reserve System, the farm loan act is Democratic legislation and likely to remain on the books, potwithstanding all the Republican threats to repeal it.

The news print paper situation in the United States is a very grave one, and especially for the small country publica- tions. The big newspapers of the coun- try have been given about go per cent. of their total requirements under a con- tract price of 4 1-2 cents a pound, in- creasing to 5 cents a pound after April 1st. Then to get the other ten per cent, needed the big newspapers go into the market and bid up the balance of the country’s production to ten cents a pound and it may not stop at that, This forces the the little newspapers to pay twice as much fof their news print as is paid by the big dailies and tor the past 18 months over 2500 newspap- ers were forced out of business, Enough paper is wasted in useless stuff in the Sunday papers to provide all the coun- NJFY dewopapers with all the paper they . The country newspapers have appealed to Congress, without getting relief. th th in in and lor ET is rd; NEW POTATO QUARANTINE TO COMBAT THE BLIGHT.

Years ago a needle penetrated the left foot of Mrs. William Wynn, near Philipsburg. Surgeons could not locate it, and from time to time it gave her much trouble. On Sunday at noon the needle came to the skin surface of her thigh and was removed with little or no trouble. The needle had slowly worked its way up through the fleshy part of her lower limb, of State Agricultural Notes, Eighteen farmers in Union township Berks County, have purchased during the past month, pure bred Berkshires and are organizing a community club, Reports coming to the Department from different parts of the State say that the rabbits have ruined thousands of young fruit trees, The greater part of the state has been covered with snow since early December, The grain has been well protected and apparently is in good condition, except in many places a heavy body of ice has formed on the grain fields and many farmers are apprehensive as to just how much damage may result from this source, Farmers will make no mistake in look- ing up their seed corn early and make doubly sure that it approaches 100 per cent in germinating quality. Other. wise, you may have a poor stand of corn and a discouraging prospect to begin with. Remember the old maxim The , Galbraith Brothers. You were either fortunate or nate on Saturday night.

Four years ago a half dozen red-head- ed Penn State Freshmen tugging on the end of the rope in the annual Tug of- War with the Sophomores, pulled their class to victory in the big scrap. Or- ganized effort pulled the trick, they said, and wanted tc form a “Red Head Club” then and there. But they were “only freshmen” and the privileges of the average college plebe are few and definitely numbered. But now that these same auburn ed lads are upperclassmen they realized their ambition and last week the Penn State “Red Head Club” came into its own. With the proud, strutting Rhode Island red rooster as their adopt- ed insignia, they assemble for regular meetings when the brilliantly red poul- try king is placarded on the campus crowing the time and place, The first meeting was held 10 the “YY” Hut and a critical committee was on guard at the door with power to eject all who could not exhibit a genuine unadulterated firey red ‘poll, Twenty-odd men passed the test, The success of the organization was instantaneous. The idea invaded the women's dormitories, and the girls now have their own “Red Head Club"—and are proud of it.
