"FROM ATLANTIC TO THE SEA "
Feed Potatoes To Chickens.
There Is a possiblity that quite
a large number of bushels of
potatoes m Pennsylvania may not
be able to be marketed this
spring and rather, than have
these potatoes waste and more
especially because all usual poul
try feeds are exceptionally high
in price" and often difficult to
secure the State Department of
Agriculture advises that surplus
potatoes be fed to poultry.
Such potatoes must not, how
ever be fed raw but should be
roughly washed and boiled.
Then mashed, slightly salted and
a small quanity of chop mixed
with them. Thus fed poultry
will, at least for a while, do well
whih thirty three to fifty per
cent, of their feed potatoes.
Even growing chicks will relish
these boiled potatoes and do well
on them. With such a heavy per
cent, of soft feed though, char
coal should be kept before young
and old chickens all the time and
it the droppings become abnor
mal the quantity fed must be re
duced. Feed potatoes and save
grain.
Bonds or Taxes, Which?
There is a way of looking at
this Liberty bond business that
perhaps many have not thought
of, especially those who have re
fused to purchase. If you do
not buy Liberty Bonds now you
will have to pay taxes eventually.
(Stick a pin here so you won't
forget it) We have only two
years in which to raise money
for the expenses of this war
buy bond sales or taxation. If
we buy bonds we will get our
money back with interest If
we pay taxes we will get noth
ing back. We lose it all. Which
looks better to you? You miht
think you can escape both,, but
yon cannot. You cannot hide
your income if you are employed,
You cannot hide your invest
ment income either. You can
not hide your farm or its waving
crops. When Uncle Sam sets
out to fix your earnings, he can
find out every penny you take in,
and you can bet be will tax it, it
you force bim to do bo. Moral:
Buy bonds and escape taxation.
It will be profitable and patriotic.

Calls l or the Nomination of
Kichard V. Williamson for Con-
Kress.
Huntingdon, Penn'a,
April 24, 1918.
Mr. Richard W. Williamson,
Huntingdon, Pennsylvania.
My Desr Sir:
I see a paid political advertise
ment in the Semi-Weekly News
of April 22nd. headed "From
Atlantic To The Sea," by James
J. McMullen, in which the writer
suggests the return and conse
quently a seventh nomination for
present Congressman because he
i the soldiers, friend. When did
this District ever have a Con
gressman who wasn't the sol
dier's friend? When Mr. Atkin
son was in Congress, the same ar
gument was put forth to keep
him in Congress but, after five
terms, he had to give way to Mr.
Mahon.
Mr. Mahon came from a county
almost four times as large as
Union. He held the nomination
for seven terms putting forth the
same "stick to the soldier" and
"Border Raid Claim" argument
to keep himself in office. Now,
we have the same argument put
forth for the present Congress
man and, no doubt, he will again
bring forth the Border Raid
Claim proposition to fool the
people of Franklin County.
Two years ago, the old soldiers
of Huntingdon' County signed a
splendid testimonial in your be
half. The vote in Huntingdon
County shows that the soldiers
and their friends largely support
ed you and why shouldn't they?
You volunteered and served your
country as a private in the Span
ish-American War.
Were you in Congress, I am
sure your vote on the McLemore
Resolution and on all other
patriotic measures would have
been in favor of your country
and there would have been no
whisperings of lack of patriotism
and charges of Pro-Germanism,
as to you. '
It is Huntingdon County's turn
and I earnestly appeal to all fac
tions of the Party to unite and
nominate you for Congress, for
you will ably represent the Dis
trict Your business affairs are
always promptly and properly
managed and I know you will
promptly, faithfully and patri
otically represent all the people
in the District.
I shall be pleased to have you
give this letter such publication
as you may deem advisable and
believe and sincerely trust that
you will be nominated at the Pri
maries on May 21st, knowing full
well that you will sweep the Dis
trict with a rousing majority at
the November Election.
Very truly yours,
B. F. ISENBERG,
Ninth Penn's Cavalry.

Consultation Free
Training Little Children.
What are the qualities that
make a person "livable with,"
as we say?
Is not the fundamental one re
spect for our own rights and for
the rights of others? And is
not one side of the question
equally as important as the oth
er? If my child must respect cer
tain rights and privileges which
belong to me as a parent, ' then I
must respect rights and privi
leges that belong to him.
One of the first marked traits
a child develops as soon as he is
able to play with others is want
ing to have things for his very
own. He quickly learns the
"mine" and "thine" of things
and especially the "mine." It is
my book, my rattle, my ball,
and great is the uproar when he
is requested to share his prop
erty rights with another. At
this stage young mothers are
often given discouragement and
make such remarks as "I do not
know what I shall do with my
boy. I fear he has an extremely
selfish disposition. He refuses
to let any other child so much as
touch any of his playthings."
But, wait, dear mother,' re
member that instincts are crude
when they first appear and must
be wisely and patiently trained,
Let us first respect the child's
rights and say, "Yes, it is your
ball, but won't you let your little
friend play with it?"
By following this method we

shall find the child becoming
more and more aware of his
playmate's as' well as his own
rights. He will share his favor
ite blocks with another not te
cause some grown-up in authority
says, "You must," but voluntar
ily because he respects the rights
of another to share in his play.
The idea does not formulate it
self in his little mind in so many
words perhaps, but it is the re
sponse that follows from in
stinctively recognizing that he is
being given his due and that it
pays to mete out like measure to
another.

Dens Torn Grass Into Greenbacks.
Farmers and poultry keepers
are facing tbe highest feeding
costs in their experience and
many are wondering where they
will come out this season in fl
naacul sense.
W. Theo. Wittman, poultry
man with the Pennsylvania
State Department ot Agricul
ture, says that any farmer or
poultryman tlat ha a meadow
or grsziog field or any patch of
land tbt has a sod that will
grow all the season young, ten
der grass, has a feed factory at
hand that will save fifty per cent,
of the feed co?t of poultry keep
ing the next six months. This
applying equally to old and
young stock; young stock es
pecially. Wittman says chickens on
grass as above cannot be beat in
the growth they will make in
vigor and vitality and general
good health.
He says, millions of chickens
in this State are grass starved
every summer and thai 10 poul
try man can afford to ignore
grass this year. B feeding
grass he will save grain for him
self, grain for the country and
increase by a hundred per cent,
his chances of coming out finan
cially on bis chickens.
The grass must be short and
young and to be so must be
mowed every four or six weeks.
The Gettysburg Red Cross
chapter will hereafter fit out all
drafted men from its own coun
ty (Adams) with knitted wear.
The distribution of knitted goods
will continue during the summer
and an ample supply of yarn will
be kept on hand. Many of the
boys will be Bent into localities,
both in this country and abroad,
where woolen wear will be a necessity.
