PAGE SIX COFFEE SUBSTITUTES ARE MANY AND VARIED ft 1 | r—— | The tradition of baseball and the | hot dog as being the greatest of the | American institutions has been ex- | ploded —it is coffee! | Tea and cocoa are passing from the American's grasp, but he doesn’t seem to mind much-—but in the case of coffee: Wholesale grocers are finding that every time they turn around a sales- man is in sight with a new coffee | substitute. Variation upon variation exists. There is ‘near coffee,” and “stretched coffee,” and “stretchers to | stretch coffee.” Chickory is the dried root of an herb related to endive that has had some demand even in peacetime for | making a heavier brew than pure cof- | fee. Many persons, especially those | whose memory of the old world is re- | cent, prefer this blend to straight coffee. And chickory figures in many | president of the Brooklyn baseball UNION PRESS.COURIER | Rickey Signs Contract to Succeed McPhail | | Branch Rickey, lately of the world champions, the St. Louis Cardinals, is pictured here as he signed a contract to succeed Larry McPhail as club.

Some of these may be found on the shelves of your favorite grocery store soon. : « —v C STICKER T0 SHOW eee Sg———————————— coffee imported from South Ameri- i can members of their organization.

Even the ten-year-olds | could knit squares for the large af-| ghan they contributed, while the older girls worked on baby’s garments. At Carrolltown R.

In all, they gathered [1,050 pounds of scrap metal, 200 of | old paper, and 310 pounds of rubber. | Two members of this club, Thelina | Snyder and Rose Eckenrode, attend- | ed 4-H Leadership School at State College last spring, and have carried over to their own community some of the activities learned there. This club, under the leadership of Mrs. R. H. Eckenrode, has sponsored a commun- ity social and has given a play. These 1 girls are doing their bit in these gas- | rationed days to make folks realize | that their own community can be one | of the best places in which to live. The 4-H Clothing Club of St. Law- j rence, with Mrs. George Albright as | leader, has contributed toward victory [by helping the conservation program. | Three members remodeled nine gar- | ments.

Mickalitis of the department of forests and waters. The present year has been an un- usual one for a large amount of foli- age due to many rainsduring the sea- son. Studies show that one ton of oak leaves has a chemical value of | approximately ®* 5 and contains 2.8 pounds of phosphate, 18.8 pounds of nitrogen, and 7 pounds of potash. It is estimated that two tons of leaves fall to the ground yearly on an acre | |of stocked oak forest. Leaves are an| |important factor in building up a for- | est with good soil, and good mulch of | fl [foliage stimulates tree growth. | When fires occur in the forests, the | | burning of the leaf litter and humus | § [results in a nitrogen loss, although | a large amount of potash remains on | the ground. Protection of forests] from fire not only preserves from de- | | struction the leaf fall but assures the continuance of a forest cover as every | tree has fertility year by year and at | the same time grows in wood value. | | A thrifty growth of trees is promoted by abundant leaf fall and in forests | protected from fire they are enabled to reach larger size and add a great- er amount of fertility to the soil. Hardwood trees are not the only ones that shed their leaves. Pine trees retain some needles for two or| more years. In early August of each | year there is present on white pine all of the needle crop from two years in| a fully developed condition. This is { just before the hardwoods shed their Thursday, Noviiaber 12, 1942, DAILY, including Sundays and Holvdays Says Major General C. P. Gross, Chief of Transportation of the United States Army: “Transportation is the life blood of this great Army. “Night and day the railways have been on the job, consistently meet- ing increasingly difficult require- ments, for freight and passenger equipment and service. They have _ done a superb job.” ! Yes, night and day, including Sundays and holidays, the railroads of America have been speeding troops to wherever the Army commands! been developing In the first ten months alone, they have moved approximately 8,000,000 troops, not counting soldiers on leave. That's over three times as many as they carried in the same period of the last war! For all this, the credit goes jointly to the railroads, the War Department and the Office of Defense Transportation —it's a job of perfect coordination. When the need for quick mass movement of troops came, a plan, which experienced railroad men had for twenty years, went instantly into operation. That's why Uncle Sam's war machine rolls!

For an ex-parachute jumper—he used to fly out of Greensburg, Kan., in the flimsy crates of the early days—rabbit catching would seem to be pretty tame, but not at all. “There are all kinds of sports,” says he, “but find me one that has the thrills of rabbit catching.” Safe for Feeding According to information received by staff members of Penn State Col- lege from the U.
