Considerable criticism is heard about the enforcement of the vaccination law and compulsory school attendance law. In many iistances the school directors are criticised for trying to enforce the law, but the directors have no other course to pursue than a strict enforce- ment of the vaccination law and attepd- ance law. Prof. Louis Lenbart; who was to start the school term on Tuesday as principal of the Millheim schools, on Saturday, August 28, underwent an op- eration for appendicitis in a Pittsburg hospital, He will therefore be unable to take up his duties here for at least several weeks, but Miss Rosalie McCor- mick has taken charge of the school. and Rev. Faust, of Hublersburg, has kindly consentéd to teach the grammar grade until Prof. Lenhart fully recovers his health. . Mr. and Mrs. Charles L. Ulrich and Mr. and Mrs. Thomas Nolan and child, of Buffalo, N, Y., were arrivals in Mill- heim Sunday evening and are guests of Mr. Ulrich's father, George Ulrich, Mr. and Mrs, L. H. Matthews arrived from Pittsburg on Saturday and will be guests of Mr. and Mrs. E. W. Mauck until they gain possession of their home on Mill street, recently purchased from S. W. Gramley. No Indicatigns of Return of Influ- enza Epidemic. There have been no indications of a return of last year's influenzaepidemic this winter, the U. S. public health ser- vice announced this week. Each year, it was said, between November and May, a number of cases are reported but experts of the service do pot expect the disease to be as widespread or as virulent this year as in 1919. A————— A A ——— Late Planting to Fight Hessian Fly. “The effects of frost in the late sow- ing of wheat to control the Hessian fly is overestimated, " says H. E. Hodgkiss, extension entomologist at the Pennsyl- vania State College. He advises farm- ers to sow their wheat from seven to ten days later than is customary for the community, especially where there are] evidences of ravages by this pest that costs wheat growers millions every year, The first general coloring of foliage on hickories, dogwood, birch and ash trees, is indicative of the safest and best time to begin sowing within the range of winter wheat culture, Rotation of crops, deep plowing of stubble, thor- ough preparation of seed beds and ferti- lization are essential factors in Hessian fly control. The college has advised all extension representatives of means for control, stating that radical changes in these practices should not be undertak- en except with tae advice of college crop specialists, Weather conditions are important fac- tors in the application of preventative measures, Excessive heat or drought retard the development of ‘the insect. In the autumn flies come from the stub. ble from late August in northern reg- ions to December in the south, While there are stragglers, the major part of the flies appear and disappear within a week or ten days, depositing eggs on the young “plants. The maggots hatch, feed on the plants and lie idle through the winter. This fall brood may kill the young wheat outright if the infestation is severe, - If the wheat planting is such that the young plants are permitted to come through the ground after the flies disappear, the best preventative meas. ures have been taken, : AIA ————— ‘ Dr. Robert Gearhart "has removed from Stroudsburg to Boalsburg and will be at his office on Main street after- noons and evenings until September, when he will be there permanently, If not at office phone J. H, Ross, Linden Hall, anf, Delinquent Dog Tax May be Collected. Dog owners in Pennsylvania who vio- late the law by failing to take out a h- cense for their dogs, and who escape prosecution during any one year, may be held for the license fee even though action is not instituted until the follow- ing year. The Pennsylvania Depart- ment of Agriculture is assisting the local county officials and constables in enforc- ing the law and while hundreds of pros- ecutions have been instituted in various sections, and while this work will be vigorously prosecuted throughout the year, yet there will be some dog owners who will escape detection. These dog owners, however, will be li- able to prosecution next year for failure to comply with the law this year. The Lebanon county authorities are now planning to collect the delinquent dog tax for 1919 and similar action will be taken up in other counties as rapidly as they are cleaned up from the current year. Thus far in 1920 there have been 1,421 prosecutions entered in the state for violation of the dog law and each case has been successfully terminated. This is as against 107 prosecutions in 1919. The activities of the enforcement offi. cials which have been centered on Washington county for the past several weeks will be extended in Greene, Indi- ana and Armstrong counties within the next week or two and a large number of arrests will be ordered in each of these counties. An impression has gotten throughout the state that the offenders are largely confined to the rural sections of the state. This is incorrect as offenders have been found in cities and town as well as in the country sections. ’ ——— fp — CP ———— HEALTH SCHOOL Pennsylvania State Department of Health er ——— ANSWERS TO HEALTH SCHOOL QUESTIONS.

It was midnight on the ocean, not a _ street car was in sight, The sun was shining brightly, and it rained all day that night. It was a winter's day in summer, the sky was raining glass, And a barefoot boy with shoes on stood standing in the grass, It was evening and the rising sun was setting in the west, The little fishes in th#® trees were hud- dled in their nests, The rain was pouring down in drops, the moon was shining bright, And everything that could be seen was hidden out of sight. While the organ peeled potatoes, lard was rendered by the choir, While the sexton rang the dish cloth, some one set the charch a fire, “Holy Smokes” the preacher shouted in the rush he lost his hair, Now his head resembles heaven—for there is no parting there, FARM FOR SALE.
