Sun day will be celebrated in Sunday schools of the Reformed church throughout the nation tomorrow, with special services emphasizing the blessings conferred upon the world by the Protestant Reformation. A campaign has been launched in the Reformed churches for Sunday school extension work, in connection with which a children's endowment fund of SIOO,OOO is being raised. Old and young have enlisted in the cam paign, the children collecting dimes and nickels in their thanksgiving boxes, while the adults are purchasing five-dollar participating shares in the fund. Many churches will raise SIOO. S3OO or SSOO in this manner. Scores of adult Bible classes and Sunday school classes are taking three, five and ten shares- The money-raising will con tinue until April, when the Sunday School Increase campaign comes to an end. Tl.e Rev. Rufus W. Miller says: "I bail with joy the establishment of the children's endowment fund" of SIOO,- <>oo, because it is not only a most fit ting memorial for the four hundredth anniversary of the Reformation, but it is also the right kind of prepara tion on the part of the Church to meet the religious needs of the children."

It was with the idea of discovering actual poultry profits from farms In the state that H. C. Knandel, in charge of poul try expansion at the Pennsylvania State College, recently secured records from 65 farms representing 24 coun ties. These records were divided into five groups or classes. The first class includes farmers reporting 100 laying hens or less; the second class, those reporting 100 or 200 hens; the third class, 200 to 500; the fourth class, 500 to 1,100, and the fifth class. 1,100 to 4,000. For the first group the average an nual profit per bird was $1.17; for the second group, $1.54; for the third group. $1.70; for the fourth, $1.67, and for the fifth. 88 cents. Group three, therefore, showed the highest annual profit per bird. The farms re porting in this group were general farms, on which two to five hundred head of poultry are kept, while in group four, where the profit was nearly as much per bird, the farmers were specializing in poultry. In other words, where poultry was kept only as a side line profits were larger than in the case of group four, where poul try was the "cash crop." The survey vindicates the original opinion of those who took it, that is, that from 200 to 500 birds is the most profitable number to keep on general farms in Pennsylvania. Experience contributes to the judgment of the college authorities that unless ade quate help is available the number of poultry kept should be reduced to in sure maximum profits. The figures given represent a good average, coming as they do from gen eral and specialized poultry farms. ORDER FARM SUPPLIES EARLY The present freight congestion and car shortage on the railroads over the country leads authorities at the Penn sylvania State College school of agri culture and experiment station to em phasize the necessity of ordering farm supplies for the coming season at an early date. If the present congestion continues, farmers may find them selves confronted with a serious sit- HARRISBURG TELEGRAPH WIFE-PLUS-WINE COMBINATION IS CAUSE OF ARREST Counterfeiters in Jail Be cause Woman's Tongue Wagged Too Freely The slip of woman's tongue, it wait learned to-day. was responsible for the rounding up of the Kerry-Hornberger- Ualmer band of counterfeiters. The tip leading to the constant shadowing of Alvin M. llornberger. the man who "made" the money In the South Cameron street garage, was obtained following a "joy ride" from Heading to Harrisburg in which a wife of one of the counterfeiters was a party. Whether it was Mrs. Horn berger or Mrs. Balmer, or either, the detectives have not said. That it was not Mrs. Joseph I>. Ferry, wife of the local garage man. is conceded. She has not been living with her husband for four years. Bit Too Hilarious While in a state of hilarity, superin duced by a bit too much wine, the counterfeiter's wife is said to have conrtded to a friend in a local drink ing room that she knew where lots of counterfeit money was stored. Captain Matthew J. Griffin, head of the I'nited States Secret Service in Philadelphia, who. with other govern ment officials, ran down the case, de clared that but for this tip the Fed eral authoirties would have discon tinued their investigation. They had been following llornberger from the time of his acquittal in Philadelphia and they had never been able- to get anything on him. Apparently he was treading the straight and narrow path and he was acting as auctioneer and working in a store. The authorities were about to throw up the game when, during a visit to Harrisburg in connection with "his shadowing of the Reading man, the information which had been given out by the woman was carried to Cap tain Griffin. Hornbcrsrer Under Fire The captain went to Reading and consulted Detective McGovern. and from that time on Hornberger never made a move that was unknown to the detectives. As many as a dozen sleuths were on his trail at a time and his house was visited often by agents who were in reality government op eratives. Finally Hornberger is alleged to have confessed and to have fur nished the government with evidence. Hornberger is secretary of the Rerks County Democratic Association, which recently endorsed a candidate for post master at Mohnton. Mrs. Hornberger. wife of one of the prisoners, is ill at her home here as a result of the exposures following her husband's arrest. The center of the interest in the operations of the alleged counterfeit ers has shifted to Mohnton, Horn berger's home town. Several persons there are now under surveillance. It !s alleged that considerable counter feit money has been passed in that vicinity recently. The hearing of Hornberger and Ferry will be held Monday afternoon before United States Commissioner Leßoy J. Wolfe. Ignorance of Timber Values Causes Big Woodlot Losses It is a fact that the annual loss to the farmers of the I'nited States from Incautiousncss in disposing of their timber runs into millions of dollars. In the main this loss is due to their unfamiliarlty with the timber business and timber values. The following cases cited by a member of the forestry staff of the Pennsylvania State College school of agriculture and experiment station are only a few of many on record: Case 1. A Pennsylvania farmer wu offered S7OO for his woodlot. The offer was refused. Some months later an other buyer offered him $1,200. The owner decided to hold his timber. In a few months a third buyer offered $1,700. The last figure was a fair offer for the timber. Case 2. A Maryland owner was of fered $1,500. The timber was esti mated and advertised, restrictions be ing placed on the cutting of young timber. The buyer who made the first approach offered $4.. r ioo. The timber was finally sold for $5,500. Case 3. A New England farmer sold timber for $1,200. His neighbor sold approximately the same quantity of equally valuable material to the same portable sawmill owner for $7,000. The first man .knew nothing about tim oer values; the second man was welt informed. Comment appears unnecessary ex cept to say that the conclusion should not be drawn that all woodlot owners are taken advantage of to a material extent by the sawmill owners with whom they deal. The buyer can hardly be censured for desiring to buy cheaply as possible. The woodlot owner himself buys likewise. Greater attention to the woodlot means more money for the owner. uation in the form of belated ship ments of fertilizers, implements, seeds and other supplies at the time when these commodities are most needed in the spring. A little planning and fore sight immediately exercised may save considerable worry and delay later.
