Do You Enjoy Life?
A man in good physical condition
is almost certain to enjoy life, while
the Jslious and dyspeptic are despond-
en, do not enjoy their meals and
feel miserable a good share of the
time. This ill feeling is nearly al-
ways unnecessary. A few doses of
Chamberlain’s Tablets to tone up the
stomach, improve the digestion and
regulate the bowels is all that is
needed. Try it. to june 1

INFORMATION WHICH WILL IN-
TEREST ALL—OUR BOYS
LIKE THE LIFE AND
WRITE US ABOUT IT

Somewhere in France.
April 17, 1918
J. Willis Freed, Postmaster,
Mount Joy, Pa.,
Dear Friend: —
I received your welcome letter and
was glad to hear from you. You sta-
ted in your letter that it was the cold-
est Winter for some time in the Unit-
ed States. Well, it is very cold here,
but it is not so cold now as the trees
are in full blossom.
You asked what I am doing to the
Germans. Well, I tell you what we
are doing. I guess you see it in the
apers. The Germans know that they
Pape a country to fight that can make
them sit up and take notice. I have
a deck of German cards, and they
are some cards.
I have been in the trenches for
some time, and back in again. The
trenches are a good place to be. The
first night we were in, the big shells
made us sit up and take notice, but
we didn’t mind them. When the big
shells go over our heads they play a
tune for us.
We are all well and are having a
good time here. We get all we want
to eat and have warm clothes to wear.
What more does a fellow want?
I read Joe Breneman and John
Bowman's letters in the paper, and
but the way the gener stated they
were not near the firing line yet.
I guess the town looks very slim
by this time, for most of the boys
have been called out. You say there
are 85 on the service flag. Well, that
is a good figure for the old town. I
hope the boys will do their bit. I
am doing mine.
From a friend,
Private Harry H. Geibe,
Co. D, 151 M. G. BN,, American Ex-
peditionary Forces.

Somewhere in France.
April 2, 1918
The following letter was received
by Mrs. Minnie Minnich from Mr.
Carl J. Dyer, who in across the pond.
Just a few lines to let you know
that I am well and happy and hoping
that your family are the same. I
received your ever welcome letter
and was glad to hear all the news
around home. I am enjoying myself
very much or at least am trying to.
We are still having trouble with plen-
ty of rats and “Hal” is getting more
used to them. If we haven’t any part
ners they always call around and I as-
sure you that they are very friendly.
Some of them are as large as half-
grown kittens.
As to wishing that we were home
you are not the only one that wishes
that as we all do at times but it does-
n’t do us very much good to wish that
way. It may be that we will be home
in a short while and then too it may
be a very long time. But we are all
hoping for the best
I have been up at the trenches for
seven days and of course ‘“Hal” and
I came out O. K. and now we are
back again for a longer time. I hope
that we all come out safely again.
Living out in the trenches like that
just reminds me of camping out in
some big woods during the summer
and taking in all kinds of sports.
But we don’t have time for sports
here and that is the only difference.
It is dreadful the way the Germans
have blown up the towns. It seems
a pity for the beautiful homes and al-
so the large factories which are in
ruins.
_ There are some few persons living
in their homes, but the majority of
them have moved out and gone to a
different part of the country. So
we soldiers take possession of those
houses which have been vacated and
which are not too badly wrecked.
We were recently transferred to a
different company so my address is
slightly changed.
I will close for this time, with best
regards to all the children I am a
friend,
Private Carl J. Dyer,

THE RETIREMENT BOARD
FIXES TEACHERS’ PENSIONS
_ The Pennsylvania Teachers’ Re-
tirement Board, which is providing
for the establishment of the state
teachers pension system has issued a
table of payments required from sal-
aries of teachers to enable them to
participate in the system which is
now being distributed among the
41,000 teachers in the State. Prof.
H. H. Baish, the Secretary, in a
statement issued says that the rates
of contribution are based on an ac-
tuarial investigation of the service
and mortality records of teachers
throughout the country.
The contribution form school em-
ployes are computed to be sufficient
to pay one half of the retirement al-
lowances. “The rates’ he says, ‘“‘are
lower for men than women only be-
cause the mortality among men an-
nuitants is higher than among wo-
men, resulting in a small number of
payments to men, consequently in a
reduction in the cost of the allow-
ances. The rate at which the em-
ploye begins to contribute is com-
puted to remain constant throughout
the remainder of the service ”’
The tables issued give the percent-
age of salary required from 18 to 61
years of age. At 18 men are listed
at $3.33 and women at $3.69, while
pe] the payment at 22 is $3.34 for men
and $3.78 for women. At 30 it is
$3.42 and $3.96; at 35, $3.55 and
$4.16; at 40, $3.74 and $4.45; 45,
$4.01 and $4.83; at 50, $4.34 and
$5.29.

OYSTER POINT MEN
SMASH THEIR AUTO.

A touring car containing two men
whose names could not be learned,
but.two are said to reside at Oyster
bint, figured in an automobile acci-
dent at Second and Walnut streets,
Columbia, at 3 o’clock Friday morn-
ing. The autoists were on their way
from York and went in Second street
from Bridge street to Walnut, where
Second street ends. The driver was
not aware of this fact and did not
notice his path was blocked until too
late to make the turn up Walnut
street. The auto crashed sidewise in-
to the concrete curb, completely
smashing both wheels on the right
side. e top was crushed by strik-
ing a tree. Neither one of the occu-
pants of the car sustained injury oth-
er than a few cuts from glass from
the broken wind shield.

WHEN CANNING FOR MARKET
Housewives and canning club mem-
bers who wish to sell their canned
products are urged by the Bureau of
Markets, U. S. Department of Agri-
culture, to study their markets at the
beginning of the season and pack ac-
cording to local demands for different
products. Secure orders for canned
goods before putting them up, is the
advice of the specialists. Small loss
of non-standardized products are
difficult to sell except among local
buyers and are not purchased by the
Army, Navy, commercial dealers, or
any department of the Government.
Home-canned food can be kept over
from one season to the next, and
those who have not sold their goods
have reserves to draw from for their
home-table. It is good policy, say
the specialists, for the housewife to
provide a reasonable surplus beyond
the probable home consumption for
the next crop year. While the
Bureau of Markets is giving aid to
producers on marketing problems, it
says that it is difficult to place pro-
ducers of small quantities of different
kinds of products in touch
buyers.

It urges home and club can- |
ners to learn the marketing end of |
other lines of industry.
WATCH PIGS FOR AILMENTS |
Don’t let ailments get a start in|
war litters. For the first week at|
least after farrowing look the pigs |
over carefully before each feeding. If |
any indications of scours appear the |
sow’s feed should be reduced im-|
mediately or possibly cut off entirely.
A heavy feed of rich slop given when
scours begin to show possibly may
kill the entire litter. A little extra
care for the first few days is very |
necessary to prevent losses. |
VALUE OF A DEAD WOLF
Wolves cause an annual destruc-
tion of about $1,000 worth of live
stock each. One killed in October by
a hunter of the Biological Survey in
New Mexico had killed in six months
150 head of cattle valued at not less
than $5,000. Another taken by :
Government hunter in the same state
in June had killed in five months 20
yearling steers, 9 calves, 1 cow, 15
sheep and a valuable sheep dog.
COYOTES TOLL IN MEAT
Three coyotes in Morgan county,
Utah, attacked a herd of sheep and in
one hour destroyed $500 worth.
Ewes worth about $1000, were killed
by one or two coyotes in Colorado;
67 which had been separated from
the main herd were killed, but only
one of the carcasses had been partly
eaten.
DUCKS FOR MEAT AND EGGS
On general farms ducks can be
raised with success and at a profit. As
a source of income, however, they do
not appear to be well adapted for
the average farm as chickens but un-
der certain conditions they are good
money makers. The demand for ducks
eggs is more limited than for hens’
eggs, and though ducks for table ae
usually bring a good price, their mar-
ket is also limited and is mostly con-
fined to large cities. For this reason
it is advisable to study the market
investment in ducks. Intensive duck
farming on a large scale has been
more successful than intensive
chicken raising. Pekin ducks, which
are kept extensively by commercial
growers, are less subject to disease
than chickens, and artificial methods

of hatching and rearing have been
used very successfully with them. |
Farmers as a rule have rarely given |
the necessary care to the feeding and |
marketing of their ducklings to {
cure any large share of the trade in |
fancy green ducks. It is this trade |
which attracts the commercial duck |
raiser. A green duck is a duckling |
which is grown rapidly and marketed |
when from 8 to 12 weeks old, weigh- |
ing at that time from 41% to 6 lbs.
They are usually sold in the spring
and summer and bring high prices. |
Farmers who grow ducks generally |
market them in the fall when the|
prices are low as compared to prices
earlier in the season.

SHORT STORIES FROM FEDERAL | =
ANIMAL HUNTERS
Wild animals which prey upon live
stock are only “good when dead.”
Then they may serve a really useful
purpose, if their skins are properly
cured, tanned, and made into fur
garments.
Predatory animals cause losses to
sheep herds in Utah and neighboring
states of 500,000 head annually. Be-
sides the foodstuffs thus destroyed,
this means a loss of about 4,000,000
pounds of wool.
Two wolves at Ozona, Texas, killed
76 head of sheep in two weeks. |
In New Mexico 3 per cent. of the |
cattle are destroyed by predatory]
animals. In addition to about 34,350
head of cattle thus killed, the animals
destroy about 165,000 sheep, a loss of
16,000,000 pounds of meat and
1,320,000 pounds of wool. The total
loss to the State each year from this
source amounts to about $2,715,250.
