In an address to the Landis Tool Company's employes in Waynesboro last Saturday even ing, Judge Gillan of Chambers burg said: "We should deal with the mad Germans and their sub marines as with a mad dog when he comes into our houses shoot him down!" "God grant we be spared from another war" said Judge Gillan, "but if it must come, then we as men must go into it The gov erment relies on men like you for salvation. The government would never exist would it not be for the common people. It was the common people that made Waynesboro." No Change in Cabinet Washington, March 5.

Cheap E&s Candling Service Candling, which is merely a simple method of examining eggs to ascertain their interior con dition, should always be resorted to by the producer who desires to build up a good market for his eggs. The same method is recommended in selecting hatch ing eggs. ' A device used by the Pennsyl vania State College school of ag riculture and experiment station consists of a round hat box in which a hole is cut at the top large enough to allow the en trance of an electric light bulb, and another at the side the size of a small egg. Either lamp or electric light may be used with this device. A cheap type of candling apparatus usually fur nished with incubators may be attached to an ordinary oil lamp in place of the regular chimney. The way to discover the stale egg is to candle it A little prac tice in candling together with a knowledge of what constitutes a good or a bad egg. will enable one to tell the freshness of an egg without the aid of a date mark. The consumer as well as the producer and the merchftut can use this method of candling to insure the purchase and sale of good quality eggs. Heated eggs eggs with a blood ring, or eggs with rots and spots may readily be detected by candling. , Dun's reports show that during January there was an average increase of four per cent in the wholesale prices of 100 leading commodities, placing them about twenty-five per cent higher than they were at the beginning of the European war.

GEO. B. MOCK. Why Brazil is Anti-German From the Philadelphia Inquirer. Mails just received from Rio de Janeiro explain why Brazil at this time is so excessively anti German in spite of the fact that her Secretary of State is of Ger man descent The list of com plaints is lone and even then is not complete. The first great grievance, or the one of .longest standing, is over the $40,000,000 in gold which Germany holds and refuses to give up until after the war. This was deposited in Berlin to pay off the coffee valor ization loan which was primarily a charge on the State of Sae Pa olo, but guaranteed by Brazil. It was made up of an export tax of $1 a bag on all coffee and Ber lin was chosen as depository be cause the tax was collected abroad and the Rothschilds are the fiscal agents of Brazil. Most of the Brazilian national loans fall due this year and un til that $40,000,000 is released there will be difficulty jn convert ing the loan as had been confi dently expected. But that is only one grievance. Germans are very numerous in some States of Brazil and they are suspected of collecting arms and munitions and preparing for war. They are accused of having tried to sink vessels by bombs and infer nal machines vessels which sail ed from Brazilian ports. There is believed to be a great German conspiracy to overthrow the country or such is feared, and too many suspicious events have occured to restore confidence. Brazilians have been offended at Great Britain's course in hold ing up mails and certain interfer ences in commerce but these are of small account compared with her grudges against Germany. This accounts for the bel ligerent spirit of the Brazilians, as told briefly in recent cable grams and now more fully ex plained in the press of Riode Janeiro. Brazil seems alone of. South American nations to have warmed to President Wilson's policy. It seems likely .that if we go to war we shall have a sort of ally in Brazil, which will be of much advantage to us now and may lay foundations for muchcloserinterestsinthefu'ture. .

The average yield of wheat on Pennsylvania farms has been steadily increased during the past fifty years and the yield of 18.8 bushels to an acre during the past year was only surpassed in two previous occasions accord ing to figures of the Pennsylvania Department of Agriculture. In 1897 the banner wheat yield of 19.7 bushels to an acre was reported and in 1915 the yield wrs 18.9 bushels. The lowest average yields were in 1885 and 1887 when 9.6 -bushels was re ported. . The ten years average from 1906 to 1915 is established at 17.5 bushels to an acre while in the ten previous years it was 15.8 bushels. In the ten years from 18G6 to 1875 the average was 13.8 bushels and next ten years it was 13.4 bushels. From 1886 to 1895 the yield was recorded as 13.6 bushels. The big stride came about this time and the rapid growth now brings the average up to 17.5 bushels. Wheat was rather light dur ing the past season on account of the unseasonable weather and the farmers look for record break ing yields this year if weather conditions are favorable. Much of the wheat has wintered well but in some sections the thaws have caused considerable to stool out and . the increased ..1 sown in the fall may be rjC when farmers are compel plough under some fields jp have practically been de"' by the thaws.
