Mortgaging the
Community, Detrimental
Nothing can be more detrimental to
a community’s progress and prosper-
ity than a burden of bonded debt.
Private citizens and industries alike
are wary of any locality, no matter
what its other advantages, that has a
constantly increasing tax rate. Im-
provements which require bond issues
are liable to turn into white cle-
phants. The debt often remains long
after the improvement has been for-
gotten. And a generation or more of
taxpayers must pay for it.
For every dollar borrowed on a
five per cent serial bond issue running
over 20 years over $1.50 must be paid
back. If the issue runs 40 years over
$2.00 must be returned. And at the
end the community: has often paid
out of all proportion to the value of
the improvement gained.
When practical the pay-as-you-go
plan should be rigidly adhered to.
When not practical, every voting citi-
zen should consider if the improve-
ment is necessary, or if iit will place
a further serious burden on indus-
tries and individuals, and if its bene-
the interest that must be paid.
Private citizens are careful about
mortgaging their homes or borrowing
money when twice as much must
eventually be paid back. The same
citizens should exercise the same care
and thought before mortgaging the
communities they live in.

3 Bobby’s Sister
pt .
: His Proxy
% By DOROTHY DOUGLAS
FECES ECCS S CE Coe oe
(Copyright.)
OBBY was struggling with a re-
fractory tie and muttering strange
sounds under his breath, for the hour
when he should be arriving at the an-
ual dinner—/that famous dinner which
had been held every year for the past
ten and for which there was an in-
even a moment's tardiness,
The other twelve men would be al-
ready cooling their heels and wonder-
ing whether Bobby Granville would
appear or whether he would be fined
‘the one hundred dollars imposed on
.any one of the thirteen friends who
failed to appear for the annual dinner.
The first year the fine for non-
appearance was ten dollars and each
year it jumped up another ten. In
their early twenties, ten dollars had
seemed a lot of money; now in their
thirties, the hundred didn’t seem quite
so bad—still it was enough to be
there. Besides, the dinner was a
grand and glorious’ affair and especial-
ly as it was the only time during the
entire year that some of the friends
were able to enjoy a personal meeting.
The telephone rang imperiously as
Bobby was slipping into his immacu-
‘late dinner coat. A forceful word
flew from Bobby's lips as he picked
up the receiver.
When he hung it up he looked de-
jected.
Seeing his sister Peggy flitting past
his door—a billow of fluffy pink—he
shouted to her.
“Peggy—you've got to do me a fa-
.yor tonight. The hospital's just called
me up—urgent case—I must go. No
time to get a substitute for the dinner
and I can’t stand the racket just now
‘of that hundred-dollar fine. Hop into
‘your evening cloak and into a taxi,
quick. You've got to be a sport and
represent me at that dinner. Be a
darling, Peg—they’re an awfully de-
cent bunch of men—"
“But, Bobby—it's a stag affair—I
should be the only girl—"
“Never mind—you can stay only for!
“the soup or.fish and then retreat. I
Just want you to.be my proxy—save
the fine. Hustle—there’s a dear.”
. So Peggy, her cheeks like crimson
.roses and her eyes like stars, had
rushed off to do her beloved brother’s
! bidding. , .
She quaked inwardly as she neared
‘the doorway where she knew those
twelve men would be gathered to wel-
come Bobby; but outwardly she was
the picture of feminine charm.
When the door of the private din-
ing room opened and the twelve men
looked up expecting to see their. thir-,
teenth member, theer was first a
stunned silence, then a swift pushing
back of chairs as they one and all
rose. oy
“I—I have come as Bobby Gran-
ville’s representative,” she began halt-
ingly and feeling the ordeal of so
much admiration all at once a bit dis-
concerting. “He suggested that I just
sit down and—well—toy with the first
course or two—then leave you—to en-
joy your dinner in Eveless peace.”
Even the married men of the twelve
and those that were nearly in double
harness realized the fact that Bobby
Granville had played a rather mean
trick on them all these years in hav-
ing concealed a sister like this from
them.
John Manners felt it most keenly.
He was about the only one of the
bunch neither tied nor half tied to the
matrimonial yoke. He felt he should
like to shake Bobby into an explana-
tion. He, John, had been circling the
globe in search of just such a wonder
woman as this sister of Bobby's and
now she was going to be snatched
from his grasp after the soup or fish
course.
“] say,” he cried loudly to the elev-
en men—who were still wondering just
how to arrange a somewhat delicate
situation, but were all feeling a cer-
tain desire to keep this vision in their
midst; “couldn’t you chaps call up
wives and near wives in a hurry and
get them here for this dinner. Sprint
out to the. telephone hooths and get
busy and I'll speak to the waiters
about doubling the places. What do
you all say?’
“Great head—that’s what we all
say,” came a quick response.
Meantime, Peggy stood by and in-
wardly laughed. Men were certainly
amusing creatures. She felt glad that
the particular man who had taken this
matter in his own hands and was now
having a heart-to-heart talk with the
head waiter had time also for swift
glances in her direction.
It wasn’t until he saw the extra
chairs being brought in and the table
being drawn out to accommodate dou-
ble the number it had been arranged
for that he came to sit beside her.
It was while a mass of pink flowers
was being brought in to decorate the
table—flowers that exactly matched
the glorious pink of Peggy’s frock—
that Bobby's sister realized how won-
derfully thoughtful some men could
be—in fact, John Manners. Would
any other have-thought of such deli-
cate flattery?
And it wasn’t long—at least it didn’t
seem but a moment to John and Peg-
gy—before wives, fiances began troop-
ing in to make the room merry and
far more iovely to look upon. But John
kept a close guard on Peggy and as a
matter of fact Peggy didn’t mind in
the least.

EARLY BIRD GETS
RICH EGG RATION
February. Chicks Should
Make Rapid Growth.
Leghorn .chicks hatched in Febru-
ary should be fed rations that make
for continual rapid growth, is the ad-
vice offeredsby the poultry department
of the New Jersey Agricultural col-
lege.
Pullets from early hatched chicks
cannot be expected to produce a prof-
itable number of eggs during the sum-
mer and fall, if their growth is stunt-
ed in any ménner. Any good baby
chick ration will prove satisfactory
until the birds are eight or ten weeks
old. After that date, the specialists
advise that they be placed upon a ra-
tion similar to a good laying ration,
but containing a , larger amount of
minerals. To have the bird come into
production as.soon as possible and at
the same time have her continue her
body growth is the poultryman’s aim.
No matter how. they are fed, Feb-
ruary hatched birds can always be
expected to go through a moult in the
late fall. They can use this period
for any increase in weight or growth
that has not been accomplished pre-
viously.
One must remember that an early
hatched bird is an entirely different
individual from a late hatched bird.
The later hatches should have a much
slower development in order to pre-
vent an early winter moult, but with
the early hatched stock the aim is to
get all of the eggs possible before the
early winter moult.
Feed Turkey Breeders
: for Vigorous Poults
Too much corn in the turkey's win-
ter ration may make the brds too fat
for the production of eggs of high
hatchability. Some breeders feed 3
parts of oats to 1 of corn and find
that the stock come through the win-
ter in condition to produce pvigorous
poults. + Equal parts of corn, wheat
and oats make a good grain ration
for turkey breeding stock. The ad-
dition of cull vegetables, and alfalfa
or clover is necessary until the turk-
eys can forage in the spring.
Before the turkey hens begin to lay,
it often pays to give them a hopper
of the same balanced laying mash
which is used for the cliickens. Where
they have had nothing but grain they
may be reluctant to eat the mash but
if it is kept before them, some of the
mash will probably be eaten and fit
will help to improve egg production
and keep up the vigor of the turkey
hens while they are laying. Keep a
b hopper of oyster shells before the
turkey hens to help in producing firm
shells on the eggs and reduce break-
age in the nests.
Feeding the turkey ‘breeding stock
on soil away from the chickens is a
help in preventing blackhead and oth-
er turkey diseases. Diseases are often
spread through the medium of the
droppings «which have contaminated
the feed. Some losses may be pre-
vented by feeding both. the grain and
the mash in hoppers so that nome of
the feed will touch soil which might
be contaminated with disease.

THE GULLS’ SONG
“Come Sea Gulls, and listen to the
song,” said Mrs. Sea Gull,
All the sea gulls came around and
then they all rested on the top of the
waves while Mrs. Sea Gull sang this
song:
Let's sing a song, a song
As we fly, fly along.
Let's wave to the people on boats,
And sing for them shrieking notes,
Let's whisper sweet words to the
waves,
And laugh when the old wind raves.
We can fly o'er the sed, the wonderful
sea,
And so we should happy be, happy be.
Oh, life can never be dull,
When one is a strong sea gull!
Mrs. Gull paused for a moment, and
then she said:
“Now, Sea Gulls, I will teach you
the chorus, which we will always sing
twice. Here it is:
It’s joyous to fly
In the air so high,
And ‘tis wondrous bliss
The great waves to Kiss.
The sea gulls all sang this song un-
til they knew it by heart, and every
time they sang the verse they sang
the chorus twice over.
Then they followed the boats, and
after a time. they left the boats, which
were. going far across the ocean, as
they wanted to go back to their coves

near the harbor where they would find
delicious food which sea gulls love.
And Mr. Sea*Gull told of the boats
he had followed.
He told of the food which had been
given to him from some of these
boats.
He told of the adventures he had
had, of the great wild storms on the
gea through which he had lived.
He told of boats he had seen rock
and toss, he told of people to whom
he had waved his wings as they
waved their hands or arms or hand-
kerchiefs to him.
He said he wasn’t quite sure which
were arms and which were hands and
which were handkerchiefs, but any-
way it was very nice to be waved to
by the people who were on the boats.
And all the little sea gulls listened
to his adventures and hoped that they
would have interesting adventures,
too.
And all, all the time, the sea gulls
kept whispering secrets to the waves
and the waves kept bubbling over
with laughter, for some of the sea
gulls were so merry and jolly and
funny and gay.
And the waves roared in their deep
voices: :
“Oh, sea gulls, we love you. Oh,
sea gulls, we love you!”

Certain Legumes .
Improve Soils
Cowpeas and Soy Beans as
Effective Fertilizer
as Manure.
Anyone having ‘a tield which he is
not going to use for producing a mar-
ket crop this year might find it a
good plan to improve the soil by sow-
ing cowpeas or soy beans, suggests
H. R, Cox, specialist in farm crops
at the New Jersey State College of
Agriculture, New Brunswick. It Is
cheaper to grow these crops than to
use ten tons of manure to the acre,
and they are considered as being prac-
tically as effective as this amount of
manure if the right kind of fertilizer
is used on the market crops of the
following year.
Soy Beans Cheaper.
Soy beans are cheaper than cow-
peas by about 50 or 75 cents a bushel.
Soy beans are, therefore, a better
crop to use for this purpose. In the
case of sey beans it is desirable to
inoculate if the field has never raised
them before. One may buy commer-
cial inoculants or he may use the
“seed and soil” method. This method
consists in mixing a bushel of slightly
moistened seed with a quart of soil
taken from a field which has raised
soy beans successfully in recent
years.
Drill or Broadcast.
Sqy beans or cowpeas should be
drilled, but if a drill is not available,
broadcasting by hand and harrowing
will do. Five pecks to the acre
drilled or six pecks broadcast by hand
is a good rate of seeding. An appli-
cation of a complete fertilizer high in
phosphoric acid and potash and low
in nitrogen may well be made at the
rate of 300 to 400 pounds per acre.
When the crop is beginning to mature,
plow it under or disk it in and sow
rye or rye and vetch as a winter cov-
er crop. A surprising improvement
in the fertility of the field will result.
Labor Cost Is Big Item
in Production of Milk
In large herds labor is usually the
second most important item in the
cost of milk production,, From the
keeping of cost accounts in many sec-
tions of the country the amount of la-
bor, required in caring for a cow has
been found to range from 100 to 175
hours per year. Under average condi-
tions the care of a cow for a year may
be considered equivalent to about 15
days’ work. '
On general farms where only a few
cows are kept no additional labor is
hired for their care. The work is per-
formed either by the farmer at the

Bankers Approve
Service Charges
Somerset County Association Pro-
poses to Assess Delinquents on
Overdue Notes.
The Somerset County Bankers’ Asso-
ciation held its quarterly business meet-
ing at the Hite House at Stoyestown on
Thursday nikht and approved the pro-
posed assessment of the handling of past
due notes. Delinquents will be assessed
50 cents for the first day’of delinquency
and’ 25 cents for each succeeding day.
It is expected that the plan will be
adopted at the next quarterly session of
the bankers in June. Speakers at the
meeting Thursday pointed out that ‘the
service charge would not necessarily be

| PLACE RED FLAGS ON
: ROAD TO CENTRAL CITY
- Red flags warning motorists to
|| drive cautiously have been placed by
o | the State Highway Department on
'| the new stretch of concrete road be-
tween Reel’s Corners and Central
City as the result of some of the
| joints having been raised, due to the
-i| warm weather. The raising of the
mercial fertilizers commonly drill the |highway at the joints was caused by
|| frost getting underneath the concrete,
resulting in an expansion when the
|| warm weather caused a thaw.
, There is nothing serious wrong with
the highway, according to announce-
;|ent by Division Engineer Wayne D.
Meyers, in charge of the State High-
way Department’s office at Hollidays-
burg. Mr. Meyers stated that nature
will take its course and these raised
Joints will go back into place without
the need of any repairs.
Somebody quotes Mr. Hoover as
stating that the Everglades are like
the garden of Eden. But we are re-
liably informed that Miami is a bet-
ter place to raise Cain.
