HELP SAVE THE GAME BIRDS
The last day of the open season for
hunting migratory game birds under
the Federal regulations was January
31 and it is now unlawful to cap-
ture or kill migratory game birds
The
Department of Agriculture makes
this announcement in response to
numerous requests for information
concerning the Federal protective
law. State game commissioners and
sportsmen in nearly every state re-
port that more wild fowl were killed
during open season just passed than
in any season for many years. The
increase in the number of birds is at-
tributed to the abolition of spring
shooting under the operation of the
Federal regulations. The law already
has been very beneficial to sportsmen
and as a food protective measure,
and under the continuance of exist-
ing protection there is every reason
to hope for an ever-increasing supply
of wild fowl conditions in the years
to come.
The Department appeals to the pa-
triotism and true sportsmanship of
all persons to co-operate with it in
the enforcement of the Federal law.
It is gratifying to know says a recent
statement from the Department, that
the majority of sportsmen have ob-
served the regulations, and this fact
has contributed larg the suc-
cessful result accomplished. The De-
partment has planned to increase its
force of wardens who will be active
during the spring migration in se-
curing evidence upon which to base
prosecutions against those who may
violate the law.
REDUCE FLY INJURY TO STOCK
Here are some of the preventive
measures advocated by fi J i
States Department of Ag
decrease the losses of ani
the larvae of flies; Burning «
burying of carcasses of animals,
arranging of breeding operati
taking precautions to prevent injury
to live stock from pens and fences
or while on range or in pasture, the
destruction of ticks and the poisoning
and trapping of flies. Farmers’ Bul-
letin 857 describes the damage these
flies do and methods of controlling
them. Burning or burying carcasses
is very important, it is pointed out,
since it is on this laterial that mag-
gots, infesting wounds, are chiefly de-
pendent for propagation. If all de-
gaying animal matter could be des-
troyed, the troublesome blow flies—
the insect bringing about maggot in-
festation—would be practically ex-
terminated.
EXERCISE PREVENTS PIG
THUMPS
When the pigs are from four or
five to ten days old, be on the look-
out for thumps. The best looking
fat little pig is the one to go first
every time. An almost certain indi-
cation is a little roll of fat around the
neck. While there is no known cure
for thumps, the trouble is quite easily
prevented. Plenty of exercise for the
pigs is the answer. In cold, storm
weather, out of door exercise is im-
posible, but if a central farrowing
ouse with an alley way is used, get
the little fat fellows into the alley
and put in about ten or (fifteen
minutes three or four times a day
chasing them with a bu whip, un-
til they are pretty well tired out. If
this is impossible, try putting one or
two of the little pigs at a time in a
large barrel or hogshead, placed b
the farrowing pen. The pigs will
hear the old sow making a fuss and
in running around the barrel hunt-
ing for a corner to climb out, gen-
erali7 will take the exercise necessary
to ward off thumps. A considerable
part of the battle is won if the litter
gets past the first ten days or so
{ with a good start.

HELD AT MAYTOWN
TWENTY-THIRD ANNUAL EX.
ERCISES WERE VERY WELL
ATTENDED IN THE BAND
HALL ON WEDNES-
DAY EVENING
N,
The twenty-third annual com-
mencement exercises of the Maytown
{ High School, Wednesday filled Band
Hall, Maytown, to overflowing. Ev-
ery seat in the place was taken, and
considering that the class this year
was smaller than for many years, it
made no difference with the attend-
ance. The stage was very beautifully
decorated with ' potted plants and
flowers, and the color scheme of the
class, brown and white, with the class
flower, brown-eyed daisy, was worked
out to perfection. Above the stage
in the colors was the class motto,
Non vespera, sed mane. On the plat-
form were seated the graduates, the |
teachers, board of education, clergy-
i men and the speaker of the evening.
The program opened at 8 o’clock
march, after
which Rev. Alfred Sutcliffe, of the
Lutheran church, offered prayer;
chorus, “Song of Spring,”
School; salutatory oration, ‘“Wash-
ington or Frederick the Great,” Paul
Stover. After welcoming the audi-
ence, the salutatorian went into de-
tail of these great men, and told of
their failures and successes in life.
The oration was a very interesting
one. Recitation, “Ginevra,” Ethel
Engle; piano solo, Edith M. Childs;
valedictory oration, ‘The Menace of
Pacifism,” George Houseal; mixed
chorus, “Berceuse;” presentation of
diplomas, Principal, John A. Camp-
bell; piano solo, Miss Mary Heisey;
address, Rev. George W. Richards, o
Lancaster. Rev. Richards stated that
he was very much pleased to be in
Maytown, to have the honor of ad-
dressing these fine young men and
[women, and spoke on the topics of
the day. His address, while lengthy,
was very interesting and gave much
advice to the graduates. Following
his remarks, the High
dered “Come Where the Fields are
Beaming,” and Rev. William J. Lowe,
of the Reformed church, pronounced
the benediction.
Those in the graduating class were
Paul Stover, president; Esther Hoff-
man, secretary; George Houseal,
Ethel Engle, D. Kerr Endslow, Edith
M. Childs, Monroe Garber.
The board of directors were M. R.
Hoffman, president; Abram Grove,
Amos F. Eby, C. C. Keiser, John S.
Simons.
The faculty consists of Prof. John
A. Campbell, principal; Miss Anna
M. Kready and Verna F. Peck, as-
sistants.
The twenty-third commencement
exercises were pronounced the most
successful ever held, and was an
honor on the faculty of the school fo
their hard work.

ATTENTION, MOUNT JOYITES
Everybody Asked to Observe Pledge
Week for the Purchase of War
Stamps
The governor of Pennsylvania has
set aside the week from May 13 to
May 18 as Pledge Week for the pur
chase of War Stamps. In that time
every home in Mount Joy will be
visited by an authorized committee to
secure pledges. Mount Joy's quota
is $44,000 based on a population of
2,200 at $22 per citizen. To date
Mount Joy is the lowest in rank of
all the boroughs of the county with a
per capita purchase of $2.37. Nev-
ertheless Chairman Mylin has the
greatest confidence that Mount Joy
will pledge her quota during pledge
week.
Why should you buy them? The
| main reason for the purchase of War

. clothe, arm and
the soldiers and sailors of
defense of American honor
out the world. If we are to win the
war, we must win it as a United peo-
ple. The savings of every man, wo-
man and child are necessary if we
are to hasten the victorious ending
of the war.
War Savers are Life Savers. A
single strand in the Cables of the
great Brooklyn Suspension Bridge is
not very strong, but cheusands of
these strands bound together uphold
one of the great thoroughfares of the
country.
When our fathers and sons and
brothers were called by our country
to take up arms in her defense. You
did not hear an individual soldier re-
fuse to serve because his service
alone would not win the war. Each
man was ready to do his part. The
great army thus formed is going for-
ward to face the fire of battle and
to risk, everything for the safety and
security of our homes and our fami-
lies and for the very existence of our
(country.
Those are the men for whom you
ge asked to save and lend your dol-
ars.
A country worth fighting for is a
eountry orth saving for. To save
money is to save life. :
Buy War Savings Stamps at your
postoffice, your banks, or the stores
of the town and buy them in Mt.
Joy, otherwise some other place gets
the benefit of your purchase. Strike
a blow for your country.
