FARMERS LOSE
IN GRANARIES
Interesting Statements Made
by the Department of Agri
culture on Pests
Wholesale
VvW methods of Penn
\SX\\A \ sylvania farmers
in the storing of
1 their grain are
recommended by
PJOQQQfiV T^e ta,e Depart-
I nient of Agiicul
: tTjIIIH| 11 \ ture in its bulle
i rs>s iISSMeJISIfe tin, it being de-
Ry- a- -ti clared that much
of the loss suffer
ed by farmers due to pests is really
because of failure to take necessary
precautions in protecting grain. The
statement is made in the bulletin
that more than one per cent, of
the wheat and corn crops is render
ed unfit for food by ravages of in
sects that attack grain after it is
put in storage. When it is consider
ed that the 1916 wheat crop was
about 25,000,000 and this year will
be close to 22.500.000 the loss in
grain alone runs high. The yorn
crop last year was 54,000.000 and
this year will break records. '
Grain should be stored in a build
ing that is well ventilated and that
will permit inspection and frequent
shifting of the grain as well as aera- j
tion. The department advises "sepa- |
rate granaries or buildings that can i
be readily cleaned, fumigated or
treated." If possible these buildings
should be located away from the
barn. Buildings of this kind are also
good to prevent the loss from rats
and mice.
Weather Blamed.—State farm atL
visers who have been overwhelmed
with requests for advice and infor-1
niation even after the appropriation ]
for their work was refused by the
Legislature in its closing hours say
that the number of persons who
have been raising chickens is un-!
usuallv large and that as many are
inexperienced they are encountering
losses. W. Theo Wittinan, one of
the experts, has informed the de
partment that the warm and wet [
weather is evidently responsible for l
the appearance in large number of
poultry pests and gape worms, which
annually do immense damage to the
young poultry crop.

Advice to the Lovelorn
BY BEATRICE FAIRFAX
You Were Very Wrong
Dear Miss Fairfax:
My brother has been attentive to
a young lady for some time. Recent
ly my parents received an announce
ment of their engagement. The fol
lowing day my brother's friend paid
us an unexpected visit and di not
mention anything about the engage
ment to mother or anyone else.
The same evening each member
of the family besides the parents had
received a personal Invitation from
the young lady's sister—whom we
have never met —to a party given j n
honor of her sister and her fiance.
My dear Miss Fairfax, were we
justified in ignoring the Invitation?
A. E. H.
Of course your brother's fiancee
did not mention the engagement:
When she was friendly enough to
come to call on you, surely your fam
ily should have greeted her as a
daughter and should have given her
a loving welcome into the family.
Then when the invitation to a re
ception was sent you by people who
were doing everything in their pow
er to be cordial and friendly, you did
a hideously rude thing in ignoring
it. From the point of view of pro
priety alone, your conduct has been
all wrong. But from the point of
view of common sense and kindness,
it is even worse! How could you all
make such a foolish and stupid fuss
about your own dignity and stand
so ftrmly on questions of propriety—
particularly when you have proven
that you know very Uttle about it!

SIGNALMEN ARE
AFTER "BILL"
Their Parodies on Popular
Songs Tell How They Are
Going to Turn Trick
Harrlsburg boys with the Bell Tel
ephone Signal Reserve Corps at
Monmouth Park, N. J., anticipating
service in France are singing a num
ber of parodies of popular songs
while in camp. Here are a few ot
them:
Air—"Me and My Gal."
The phones are singing for me and
my pal,
The bullets singing for me and my
pal.
Everybody is happy, everybody feels
scrappy.
For the weather is'snappy,
So then why should we care.
Old Kaiser William, we're going to
see,
And when we get him, "Hock tha
Kaiser 'twill be,
And some day we're going to dig a
little grave for Bill
That's six by four or more.
In Deutschland, just me and
my pal.
—all the cavalry.
It's a long way to Philadelphia,
Where the street cars run slow;
It's a long way to dear old Pitts-
burgh,
Where the smoke hangs thick and
low.
Tlio' we get no more contract orders,
Yet we're in the business still,
For the next line order that we han
dle.
Is a clothesline for Bill.
Air—"Whiffletree."
For your Uncle Sam's got—all the
infantry
—the artillery,
—and the cavalry.
And, by God, we're all off to Ger
many.
God help Kaiser Bill,
God help Kaiser Bill,
God help Kaiser Bill,
For your Uncle Sam's got—all the
infantry
—the artillery,
—all the cavalry,
And, by God, we're all off to Ger

God help Kaiser Bill,
Skeleton Scares
Aviation Students
Columbus. Ohio.—Because of crowd
ed conditions at Hayes Hall, used as
a dormitory for some of the students
attending the aviation school at Ohio
State University, it was necessary to
open the "skeleton room" for a hunk
room. In the room hangs a skeleton
in all the whiteness of his 206 wired
bones.
The first man sent to the place came
back to headquarters.
"I can't sleep in that room with
that skeleton." he protested.
"You've got to," Lieutenant Warner
Pomerene replied.
"Then please give me a bunk-mate,"
the student aviator demanded. "I hate
to sleep alone in the room with that
grinning: thing."
So he was assigned a "bunkie." Xow
there are fifteen men sleeping in the
room.

Suspect Surrenders
After Thirty Years
Franklin. Tex.—Joseph Miller was
killed here thirty years ago. An in
dictment was returned, naming Frank
Patrick in connection with the death,
but he never was found and it was
supposed he was dead.
A man who gave his name as Frank
Patrick recently walked into the
sheriff's office here and announced he
was wanted for the crime.
By an agreement with the district
attorney, Patrick was permitted to
plead guilty to manslaughter and
given a suspended sentence.

RAILROAD
EMPLOYES ASKED
TO GIVE UP SEATS
Persons Riding on PasSes, Re
quested to Show Pay Pas
sengers Consideration
In view of tho war necessity for
restricUng passenger train service;
Elisha Lee, general manager of the
Pennsylvania railroad, and its di
rectly operated lines east of Pitts
burgh, has issued a personal request
to all employes, reminding them of
the special need for care "in observ
ing their courteous obligations not
to occupy scats when pay passengers
are standing."
A copy of the request, which has
been printed In the form of a small
leaflet, will be placed In the hands
of every individual employe. Re
quests in similar form are being
sent to employes by the chief trans
portation officers of other portions
of the Pennsylvania system, both
east and west of Pittsburgh.
The leaflet is not intended as an
order, but merely a reminder of a
duty which already exists. It says in
part:
"Under war conditions, trains will
at times, unavoidably be crowded.
It may not always be possible to
give every passenger a seat, but cer
tainly none should stand while rail
road men, holding passes, are seated.
"The obligation of an employe. In
such a case, is plain and rests upon
the principles of courtesy and right.
It may be performed without em
barrassment to anyone, and without
attracting needless attention, by
simply arising and moving quietly
to another part of the car or train."

employed in tho Pennsylvania offices,
and this number will be increased to
500 when the draft goes Into effect.

FIGURES SHOW. HOW
BURDEN OF DRAFT IS
PLACED ON NORTH
New York, July IS. The New York Herald to-day presents a striking?
table of figures showing: the remarkable changes in population estimates
made by the Census Bureau In allotting to the various States their quotas
under the Army draft law. The first column shows the quotas of the S'ates
l'5 Be£l l 'P° n estimated population on July 1, taking into consideration
the normal Increase in population since the census of 1910. The second
*'o umn gives the quotas based upon the estimates of population mada by
utilizing the registration figures only.
Both estimates of population were made by the Census the first
in response to a Congressional resolution of inquiry and the second at the
request of the War Department.
The table demonstrates that In apportioning the draft quotas the Cen
sus Bureau has disregarded the normal Increase in population. That has
resulted In greatly Increasing the quotas of the Northern States and re
ducing the quotas of the Southern States.
Here are the figures showing the number of soldiers that would be
drawn from the Southern States under the two methods of determining
the quotas:—

at Willow Grove Park, Philadelphia,

be no exception. The usual features
of entertainment to be enjoyed at
Willow Grove will be in evidence
this season. Chief among these in
point of interest to the visitors as
well as music lovers, is the beauti
ful music pavilion, in which popular,
classic and patriotic compositions
are to be heard beautifully rendered
by full instrumentation orchestras
and bands. Then there is the beauti

other attractions.
Members of the committee state

Special arrangements have been
made for the maintenance of order,
and the care and comfort of women
and children en route, and at the

Knights of Columbus
Here to Contribute to
Fund For Recreation
Members of the local council of
the Knights of Columbus are co
operating in the move of the na
tional organization to install rec
reation centers at the sixteen na
tional cantonments for the benefit of
Catholic soldiers at these camps. This
move has the official sanction of the
President and the Army and Navy
Departments. A fund of $1,000,000
is being raised for the purpose.
Buildings 60x100 feet, costing $6,-
000, will be erected at each camp.
Special amusements, like moving
picture shows, reading and writing
rooms and shower baths, will be pro
vided for from this fund. Each mem
ber of the Knights of Columbus,
400,000 in number, will be assessed
$2 apiece. Father Lewis J. O'Hern
is in charge of the campaign, which
will be waged July 22 to 29. His
headquarters will be in Washington.
Chaplains will be funished regi
ments in addition to the chaplains
supplied by the army. The order had
a number of these recreation cen
ters at the Mexican border last year.
