At Harrisburg
Thirteen States Will
~~ Have Part In Program
5 At Farm Show Building
~ The humble hen will take over
the State Farm Show Building at
Harrisburg next week for the Sixth
‘Annual Poultry Industries Expo-
‘sition. 3
Scheduled for Oct, 7 to 10, in-
clusive, and staged by the North-
eastern Poultry Products Council,
the Exposition will dramatize the
significance and importance of the
poultry industry of Pennsylvania
‘and 12 other northeastern states
from Maine to West Virginia,
J “It is fitting,” State Secretary of
Agriculture John H. Light said,
“that this all-industry Exposition
should be held this year in Penn-
sylvania, the Nation’s leading poul-
try state.
“To all who keep poultry, this
‘Exposition offers practical informa-
tion on efficient production and
marketing, interesting industry ex-
hibits and displays of purebred poul-
try. :
“To the general public, the Ex-
position presents the colorful story
of the poultry industry of Pennsyl-
vania and the Northeast—an in-
dustry that creates $250,000,000 in
new wealth every year. It is truly
the ‘Poultry Industry on Parade’.”
The four-day program will high-
light methods the farm flock owner
and the commercial poultryman
can apply to achieve more profitable
production.
New problems arising from the
Nation’s defense effort will also be
discussed. These include reports of
state poultry defense committees
from all sections of the country,
late information on poultry feed
supplies in the Northeast, and an
outline of the Government's plan
“for increasing egg and poultry pro-
duction under the food for defense
program.
A number of the nation’s fore-
most poultry breeders will display
some of their best birds. One class
will be restricted to pedigreed
chickens that have laid 300 or more
eggs as ‘pullets’ and have been
judged. as outstanding representa-
tives of their breed. est bird in
this competition will be named
“Herfof the Year.”
The “Parade of the Champions”
will bring together, for the first
time, top northeastern entries of
major breeds from major eastern
egg laying contests.

Books, though on a strictly bootleg
basis, until | had finished the series.
I had not been forbidden to bring
them from the Sunday School
Library, but some inner instinct
warned me that it would not be
healthy to be caught in the act. The
rest of the thirty-nine books, or
maybe it was fifty-three, were smug-
gled in under my winter coat. Long
before the last book was finished, Ii
was sated with Little Elsie and her |
emotional instability, but by that!
time it. was a matter of principle.
I was ready and willing to switch to
something else.
The something else was ‘Little
Lord Fauntleroy’ and ‘‘Sara Crewe”,
followed in quick succession by a
whole series of Palmer Cox Brownie |
Books and all of the ‘Five Little
Peppers”. For two or three years,
each birthday and Christmas
brought a new Pepper Book. The
“Bird’s Christmas Carol” figured in
here somewhere, also “Emmy Lou”
and “Mrs. Wiggs of the Cabbage
Patch”.
“Emmy Lou” came out in the
Century Magazine at just about the
turn of the century. It was pub-
lished as a series of little sketches
with the most delightful illustra-
tions, and then brought out as a
book. It remains one of the most
poignant and touching of children’s
to grown-up consumption. My
mother used to read us one chapter
at bedtime, but it was very difficult
to get beyond the first four or five
chapters. We clamored for the first
and second chapters again and
again, I think because we liked to
picture Emmy Lou as a child our
own age instead of the grown-up
Emmy Lou that she became toward
the end of the book.
The original edition is of course
out of print, and the edition which
is now on the market seems to lack
something of the original atmo-
sphere. I have never felt that Em-
my Lou could: actually live and
breathe except between the pale
blue covers of her first edition, with
the darling picture of herself day-
dreaming on the cover. I still have
that first volume, but it shows signs
of having been through the mill. We
were never allowed to even handle
it as small children. It lived in that
holy-of-holies, Mamma'’s top bureau
drawer. Even so, the book has been
literally read to death, and has to
be treated very tenderly to keep the
pale-blue covers from coming off en- |
tirely ,and the illustrations from
showering out.
“Understood Betsy”, another
hardy perennial, came out in “St.
Nicholas”. Dorothy Canfield wrote
it ostensibly for children, but she |
had the parents in mind, and she
did not pull her punches. A librar-
ian in a school in Oregon told me
that the book was recommended on
the school list for children in the
fifth grade, but that the children
in the eighth grade and the first
year of high school monopolized it
to such an extent that it had been
necessary to buy two more copies
for the lower grades.
The Lady - Behind - the - Counter
came back from selling a book to
another customer, and broke in on
my reverie. “Did you want an Elsie
Book ?”’ said she.
“Perish -the thought”, said I “I
want a book for a little girl, but it
won't be an Elsie Book. There are
two books that I always give little
girls. These two volumes are dotted
all the way from Seattle to Nebraska
to Virginia, back to Texas, and final-
ly to Wilkes-Barre. They are “Em-
my Lou”, by George Madden Martin,
and “Understood Betsy” by Doro-
thy Canfield”.
Ill toss a coin. Heads, “Emmy
Low’. Tails, “Understood Betsy”.
Heads. But I think I may have
cheated a little.

young Jackie Yaple, aged 4, on
Tuesday morning, For two
hours Jackie was A. W. O. L.
while his parents, Mr. and Mrs.
John Yaple, and neighbors
searched frantically all over
Goss Manor, the WPA project,
and down by the creek where
Jackie was fishing with his dad
a few days ago. But Jackie
could be found nowhere. Then
somebody thought of the Town-
ship school. There was Jackie
forlornly waiting under a shel-
tering tree until recess when
he could slip into the building
with his young friends—all of
whom are in school this year.
The idea was good—the loca-
tion bad. A young branch from
the tree provided the instru-
ment as Jackie was punished
on spot—he had crossed two
heavily travelled highways on
his first day of attempted
schooling. A sad day for
Jackie? Well, what about, pop,
who applied the rod.

“Pug” Peterson Killed
“Pug,” a lively little Welsh terrier
owned by Ann Peterson was killed
in front of her home on Lake street.
by an automobile one day last week
With her sparkling eyes and cheer-
ful disposition, ‘Pug’ was a favorite
with all the neighbors who saved
their table scraps for her daily visits.
No one ever suggested that ‘Pug’
wasn’t very pretty—least of all the
neighbors and Ann. Last summer
“Pug” was Ann’s companion when
she flew to Canada with her mother
to visit her grandaddy. We know
how you feel, Ann, about “Pug.” =
