PLAN TO HELP
FARMERS SELL
ALL POTATOES
Potato Week, Commencing
April 13, When Vegetables
Take Wheat's Place
A state-wide effort Is being made
to conserve the wheat supply and to
..spose of the surplus stock of po
*>toea remaining on the hands of
rarmers as a result of unusually se
vc re weather conditions which pre
\cnted free marketing during the
past winter.
A Potato Week, commencing April
15, during which time it is proposed
to have residents .of the cities and
towns of the state use exceptionally
large quantities of potatoes in place
of wheat, is to be observed.
The Dauphin County Farm Bureau
if co-operating with the Food Ad
ministration in an attempt to place
the surplus potatoes of the farmers
mi the market at a reasonable price.
The grocers of Harrisburg have
i greed to handle potatoes during
that week on the narrow margin of
ten cpnts per bushel.
The price to the farmers will be
' 0 cents per bushel, delivered at Har
risburg. Farmers who have pota
loes on hnnd are given an excellent
opportunity to dispose of them be
fore they sprout too badly, which
would result in their remaining on
their hands. There was a large crop
of potatoes last year and the Food
Administration is trying to help out
Ihose farmers who still have a sup
ply of potatoes on hand.
Farmers who will sell their pota
toes will do so subject to these
i wles:
1. Potatoes shall be No. 1 grade,
first-class potatoes.
2. Potatoes shall sold by weight,
ixty pounds to the bushel.
". Grocers will pay 90 cents per
W'&hel of sixty pounds, cash upon de
livery.
I. Farmers will be notified by mail
at which grocery store they shall
make delivery.
5, Grocers may reject any potatoes
v. tich are frozen, in bad condition
or tinder-size.
6. Potatoes are to be delivered
April 15, 16 or 17, as designated.
Fill out and return the following
blink to H. G. Niesley, Dauphin
County Farm Bureau, 205 Dauphin
Building, Harrisburg, Pa„ before
Wednesday, April 10:
1 hereby agree to deliver to any
grocery store that may be desig
nated by the County Agent of the
Dauphin County Farm Bureau
bushels of potatoes, fol
lowing the above rules, for which
I am to receive 90 cents per
bushel, delivered.

FRIDAY tvENTNG*
THE HUN OUTWITTED
BY "PAT" O'BRIEN
with a period, Ihe chat we began at
three. And T felt verv unworthy
when he rep'led simply tt-v.t unaf
fectedly to my question about the
lecture I supposed he was going to
deliver In Toronto:
"No—l'm going to attend a fu
neral. You, see they are bringing
Tommy O;klnson home to bury him.
He was my pal over there. We
were together for a long time—
longer than most. A chap you know
sits on your right at breakfast and
at lunch there's u new pilot "heie
—perhaps a new man on your left
.it supper. When you keep seeing
tew facts you know pretty soon
some one else is going to see a new
face where yours had been • • •
I felt it wa3 my turn next the day
before they got me."
"Weren't you frightened?" I
asked rather breathlessly. Then my
eyes fell on the hero's hands —he
was twiddling his thumbs like a
frightened school-boy.
"Of the Germans?" asked the
hero a bit scornfully. Then his eyes
followed mine to his hands and we
had an ice-thawing laugh at the
thought of how much more terrible
then the Hunntsh "Archies," a few
fusillades of question marks might
seem.
He Sees 'Km Coming
Some of your brave adventurers
are brave because they have no
imagination. But Pat visualizes
things—he sees them coming. ' He
has a bit of that "seventh son of a
seventh son" psychic quality that
your blue-eyed, black-haired son of
Erin often possesses. But we dwelt
upon the blue eyes and black hair,
a few lines to the rear. We are now
thinking about that train to Toronto.
"How splendid of you to go up to
pay last honors to your friend."
Said I, "I suppose you'll come back
Sunday."
"Oh no, I'll be gone three or four
days. Tommy doesn't know I'm com
ing to say good-by. I'm just doing
that for myself—selfish like. But
there is a youngster in one of the
hospitals, a yound cadet; I taught
him a bit about flying. Now he's
sick, I'Jl have to give him a bit of
cheering up, don't you think? And
then there is his commission to see
about. Poor kid. he's had a bad
time. He needs his friends to stand
by him."
They tell appealing little talcs
about the "chivalry of the air." I
have seen it face to face—it is not
tradition but fact. Pat O'Brien go
ing to Toronto to pay la.sl honors to
a pal he loved —Pat O'Brien going
to cheer a sick cadet- —and still an
other Pat O'Brien—the boy who of
fered his youth, his health, his very
life to put out the fiendish world
bonfires Germany lighted. He doesn't
put it that way—such a statement
would sound like "Swank" to one
who has been trained in Britain!
He says he went over to get into the
biggest* scrap in the world and to
stand by the Allies because they were
fighting against bad odds!
There is still another Pat! Allow
me to present him:
"I didn't hate the Germans to
start with. Of course I didn't like
them or their methods, but hating
doesn't make you fight very well.
You see red when you hate and you
can't see through the red to what
you wftnt to do. I just disliked them
at the start, let's say. I didn't hate
them when I woke up in their hos
pital and they probed the bullet that
got me, out of my throat.
When Hate Began
"I began to hate them the day I
sat in front of the hospital taking
a sun bath and down-on-the-ground
air-bath. There was a fight over
head; two of our machines fell. !
saw them hit and I felt all the smile
go out of me. Then they brought
me a picture they had found in the
pocket of one of the dead aviators.
They brought me that picture be
cause it was one of me—and of the
n:un who fell. lie was my chum—
my fr.<end Paul. They had got him:
snapped him off all in a minute. I
began to hate them then all riyht—
you see it of course?"
I saw it. And there was another
tlvng to see: Pat O'Brien not bitter
about it when "thev" i'That's what
ho always calls the Hun) got iiim--
hating when his fr'etid was
sr.ufted out by the v.iant German lile
extinguisher.
And there is Pat O'Brien for frou;
llerce and yet gentle; fine and strong.
"What a thing friendship is;
How it gives the heart
And soul a stir-up"
Tile Kind of Mini lit; Is
| That Pat O'Brien's heart and soul
j are stirred and keyed up, I will
| warrant. 1 took a little mental in
ventory of him and this is the way
| it reads:
I If "Smiling Pat'' O'Brien were
i your son lie would adore you.
if he were your pal lie would
give you loyal friendship to the
(it-five —and beyond.
If he tvere your sweetheart
how he'd flirt & bit With the
other girls I'm thlnklngl. But
foi' mi that he'd give you ft
mighty understanding devotion
and a great deal of love more
rent and thrilling than the
"reel" kind that thrills you fo
when you see your pictured
ideal bestowing It on the lady
In the romance,
I am prepared to prove every
statement—but the last one I
A wonderful mother has Pat —he
told niu himself. It wasn't the sort
of "mother stuff" they put Into a
popular souk to make It sell In edi
tions ut it hundred thousand; It was
real, roally-truly-for-sure boyish de
votler. to u line woman.
"There Is a letter here I wish to
show you. If I were properly senti
mental I'd have It in my pocket.
It's In my mind, though, so I'll tell
It to you. It's the letter I got from
my mother the day before I fell.
"I have three brothers—a lad In
Fehool, another Just under the draft
age ond another just over It. Mother
wrote me she was almost sorry
about that. Never fear she doesn't
adore h er sons; she does, but here's
the sentence that'll Bhow you what
she's mado of: 'I'D HATIIER
HAVE MY BOYS KILLED THAN
COWAKDa,' What do you think of
a mother like that?"
What do I think of a mother like
that? I think she is exactly the sort
of a mother a boy like that —a boy
like Pat—-would be having, I do!
To-morrow and daily thereafter
"Pat" O'Brien will tell Ills own
story—"Outwitting the Hun"—ln
the Telegraph.

THOUSANDS TO
HEAR AIR HERO
HERE MONDAY
Lieutenant O'Brien to Open
Liberty Campaign With
Patriotic Address
i
When Lieutenant Pat O'Brien
speaks in Chestnut Street Auditorium
Monday night the 2,000 seats in that
audience room will be filled and 600
people will be standing.
That was Indicated at a meeting
at noon to-day of Henderson Gil
bert, A. S. Patterson, J. C. Jeasup
and other Liberty Loan workers. The
demand for tickets has been tre
irendous.
The Rev. Dr. Robert Bagnell will bo
another speaker Monday night. Dr.
Eagnell will require no introduction
to Ilarrlsburg.
Prior to this meeting in the audi
torium O'Brien will speak at a num
ber of outside meetings held in vari
ous parts of the city, to be held be
tween 4 and 6 o'clock. The places
will be announced later.
When Lieutenant O'Brien, an Amer
ican in the Royal Flying Corps, was
in active service, before he was
taken prisoner, the aviators used to
say that they did not want to fall
within the German lines, because
"the war bread was bad in Ger
many." And when, after his arduous
escape from a'German prison camp,
he reached a place where he could
telegraph his comrades of his safe
ty. he wired: "War bread bad, so 1
crime home." That gay spirit Is typ
ical of the whole story, "Outwitting
the Hun," and of Lieutenant O'Brien
himself. His straightaway narrative
is a finp and thrilling thing to read.-
Not only does he describe his escape
from a fast-moving train and the
subsequent nerve-racking days of
danger and privation that were occu
pied in his slow passage out of the
enemy's country, but he tells a good
deal of the prison camp itself, and.
briore his capture, of his work as a
flier. After lie has told of digging
his way under tile electrified wire
fence that cut off Belgium from the
r.ninvaded world, he sums up the ex
perience of his escape:
"It was the 19th of November,
1917, when 1 got through the wires.
I had made my leap from the train
on September 9. Altogether, there
fore, just seventy-two days had
eiapsed since I escaped from the
Huns. If I live to be as old as Me
thuselah, I never expect to live
through another seventy-two days so
crammed full of incident and hazard
and lucky escapes."
PKNN STATE'S SENIOR CLASS
TO BUY LIBERTY BONDS
The senior class at the Pennsyl
vania State College is going to' buy
about $1,500 wortl) of Liberty Loan
bonds instead of spending the money
for a class memorial to ornament
the campus. This decision was made
to-day at a meeting of the graduat
ipg class.
For the last twenty years, each
out-going class has given its rebate
from the college damage fund for
the purpose of leaving a substantial
memento. The boys of 1918 de
cided the government needed the
money to fight- Germany more than
the campus needed an imposing
limestone gateway.
OBJECTIONS ARE
NOT SUSTAINED
| Judge Kunkel Dismisses Suit
Against Town Meeting
Candidate
, "TTT^ I, W* Ruling that the
JLI ) r 111 Town Meeting
party in Phllailel
for office who ure
al* district there-
President Judge
j ueoige Kunkel, of the Dauphin
i county court, to-day dismissed ob
jections to the nomination petition
of George J. C'amp'bell, a candidate
for Representative from the Six
teenth legislative district in Philadel
phia.
The objections to Campbell's peti
tion for nomination were made by
the pre-emptors of the Town Meet
ing party in the Sixteenth district.
The case was argued last Thursday
before Judge Kunkel. The contention
was raised that the Town Meeting
party hud no right to make nomina
tions for anyone for a state office,
and the right of the local tfourt to set
aside the nomination petition in the
case was questioned also.
In his opinion Judge Kunkel
| quotes the act of July 12, 1913,
| which provides in mandatory lan
| gufige under what conditions a nom
| ination petition shall be refused or
| set aside. The objections in the
| Campbell case are not found among
the reasons given in the act, the
court continues.
I Judge Kunkel, however, goes into
J the other facts in the case in the
I controversy over the meaning of the
l clause "ail political districts within
{the county." The Town Meeting party
i having fulfilled the requirements to
j become a party there has acquired
I the right to nominate in accordance
; with the provisions of an act of 1913,
j all its candidates for office in that
; county and in all political districts
: within that county and of which the
j county forms a part. The court rules
j that this gives the right to make a
! nomination in a representative sena
torial or congressional district with
in the county in which the party is
| established or of which the county
. is a part, but prevents any nomina
tion for which electors of the state

A Dead Stomach
Of What Use Is It?
i Thousands? yes hundreds of thou
: sands of peoplo throughout America
] are taking the slow death treatment
I daily.
j They are murdering their own
, stomach, the best friend they have,
and in their sublime ignorance they
[think they are putting aside the lawlj
j of nature.
I This is no sensational statement; it
I is a startling fact, the truth of which
I any honorable physician will not deny.
These thousands of people i.re swal
lowing daily huge quantities of pepsin
and other strong digesters, made es
pecially to digest the food in the
j stomach without any aid at all from
the digestive membrane of the stOm
| aeh.
j Mi-o-na stomach tablets relieve dis
tressed stomach in five minutes; they
do more. Taken regularly for a few
I weeks they build up the run-down
I stomach and make it strong enough
Ito digest its own food. Then indiges
tion, belching, sour stomach and head
ache will go. I
