GEMS NOT TRUE TO COLOR
{ The
will
Popular Fallacy to Ascribe to Precious
Stones Hues That May Be
Called Definite.
Story writers talk of the
as blue as a sapphire, or
beast’s glowing as
topaz.
Most of us are under the impression
that we can recognize gems by their
colors, and that certain colors belong
definitely to certain stones.
Quite a mistake. There is hardly a
precious stone which. is always true to
color. Diamonds, of course, vary
greatly. The famous Hope diamond
is a real and most begutiful blue.
Green diamonds are found, and oth-
ers of a lovely crimson, but these are
very rare. Black diamonds are com-
mon enough,
Black pearls are rarer, but are
found. Pink pearls are greatly prized.
One of the finest in existence was
found in a fresh water mussel in the
Mississippi river and is valued at $15,-
000. Off the Pearl islands, south of
Panama, pearls are found which are
lead-gray and also green.
Sapphire mines in the Rocky moun-
tains produce stones which touch the
whole color scale from blue and red
to an exquisite purple.
In Rhodesia is found a topaz of a
most lovely pale blue, Yet the chem-
ical composition of the gem proves it
to be identical with the yellow topaz.
The colors of most gems are more
or less fugitive. That is, under cer-
tain circumstances they are liable to
fade. Take two rubies exactly similar,
shut in the dark, and leave the
other exposed to full sunlight, and at
the end of two years there will be a
distinet difference heiween them, The
one that has heen exposed to the light
will be decidedly paler than the other.

tion they were shelled quite fre-
quently. The day Newpher was
killed the boche sent over only
four shells, three of which did
more dirty work with that regi-
ment than could have happened
during a battle. They killed
and wounded over a hundred
men and also about twenty or
thirty horses. I read all the re-
ports in regard to the affair,
but no names were mentioned.
The Supply Officer of Newpher’s
Outfit was in the office last
night, and during our conversa-
tion about the affair he told me
about Newpher. Of course, you
have heard all about it by the
time you receive this letter, but
I thought I would tell you a lit-
tle more than I suppose you or
any one else will know until I
return.”
i On Friday, June 10, Dr. J. J.
Newpher, this young soldier’s father,
[received a telegram that the body
|arrived in Hoboken, N. J. and would
be forwarded. It arrived here ac-
companied by a military guard last
Wednesday evening at six o'clock.
Undertaker H. C. Brunner removed
the body to the home of his parents
Dr. J. J. Newpher, on East Main
street from which place the funeral
was held on Friday.
Our respect to such deserving
heroes was shown in this manner. Ev-
ery industry in the town was closed
that afternoon as well as all the busi-
ness places during the funeral. Hun-
dreds of flags were displayed at half
mast.
American Legion met at its
{quarters on West Main street and
[with the beat of muffled drums
| marched to the Newpher residence.
Preaching services were held
the house with Rev. M. F. Davis, of
the Methodist church, Rev. J. E.
Deacon, of Grove, Pa., a former
[Methodist pastor here and Rev.
James M. Fisher, of the Presbyterian
church officiating.

Sixty-four members of the Amer-

(house. The Legion led the funeral

Legion conducted brief services
which were closed by a squad firing
three salutes over the grave.
James O. Newpher was born in Mt.
Joy, July 27, 1893 and died from
wounds on Sept. 29, 1918. He was
then aged 25 years, 2 months and 2
days. He was a son of Dr. and Mrs.
John J. Newpher of this place. He
graduated from the Mt. Joy High
School and Franklin & Marshall
Academy, at Lancaster. He also at-
tended State College and was a mem-
ber of the S. A. E. Chapter there.
He was also a member of Casiphia
Lodge No. 551, F. & A. M. of this
place. His parents, his wife Mrs.
Matilda Mumma Newpher and one
sister Miss Mary Newpher, all of
this place, survive,
Citation for Bravery
Mrs. James O. Newpher received
from William P. Worthington, Regi-
mental Sergeant Major of the 11th
U. S. Infantry, a copy of the citation
accorded her husband. He stated that
he was personally acquainted with
Lieut. Newpher and that he was only
a few feet away from him at the
time he received the wounds which
resulted in his death. Major Worth-
ington also writes that the follow-
ing citation is the very next thing to
a Distinguished Service Cross” and
should be preserved.

FARMERS COLUMN
CARE OF GROWING CHICKS
DURING WARM WEATHERH
The care of growing chicks, espec-
ially during warm weather, is most
important. Every boy or girl mem-
ber of a poultry club should give
them the best of attention if suc-
cess is to be had. The baby chicks
may be smart little fellows from
strong vigorous parent stock, and
they may have been brooded care-
fully for the first two or three weeks,
but unless they receive proper care
and management during their grow-
ing period they will not develop
properly, and many of them will be
lost through disease or sickness. The
chief essentials to proper growth are
good coops or houses, cleanliness,
proper feed and water, shade and
free range.
A variety of feeds, with fresh,
clean water, is necessary if chicks are
to grow properly. Perhaps the three
most necessary for rapid growth are
grain feed, green feed, and dry mash.
Poultry specialists of the department
say that in addition to the green
feed and dry mash, which should be
provided regularly, a grain mixture
should be fed night and morning, giv-
ing as large a quantity as the chicks
will eat clean but no more. A good
grain mixture for growing chicks
consists of three parts cracked corn,
2 parts wheat, and two parts hulled
oats. When available, kafir or rolled
or hulled barley may be substituted
for hulled oats. In localities where
hulled oats, kafir, or rolled barley
can not be obtained, or too expensive,
a mixture of cracked corn and wheat
only may be fed until the chicks are
old enough to eat whole oats, when 2
parts oats may be added to the corn
and wheat mixture.
Every coop and poultry house used
for growing chicks should be kept
clean at all times. Sickness or dis-
ease starts usually in unclean quar-
ters, and in such places lice and
mites are always more plentiful

CHERRIES MAY BE EASILY
DRIED FOR HOUSEHOLD USE
The month of June and July are
the cherry season throughout the
country. Every boy enjoys canned
cherries, but it is not so generally
understood that drying offers a sim-
ple and economical method for pre-
serving cherries when canning is in-
convenient.
Sweet cherries especially the dark,
solid-fleshed varieties, such as the |
Tartarian, Bing, Lambert, and Dike-
man, may be employed for the same |
purposes as raisins. The sour or pie |
cherries are also easily dried. The |
fruit is washed, picked over to -l
move stems and imperfect specimens,
then spread in a single layer on the |
trays and placed in the drier.
If the fruits are very large, they |
may be pitted before drying, but)
large quantities of the juice, which
contains a considerable portion of
the sugar of the fruit, are lost in the
process. If this juice, which amounts
to 35 to 50 gallons per ton off fruit,
can be saved and combined with ap-
ple or other juices in the making of
jellies, pitting may be attempted,
otherwise the process is both time-
consuming and wasteful. The drier
should not be hotter than 120 de-
grees F. when fresh cherries are
placed in it and the temperature
should never rise above 150, degrees,
as cherries especially, are easily in-
jured by overheating.
EXCESSIVE MOISTURE IN CORN
CAUSES LOSS IN EXPORTING
Large quantities of corn shipped
from the United States arrive in
Europe in a heated damaged, and
spoiled condition. According to the
Bureau of Markets, United States
Department of Agriculture, the
amount of moisture in corn and
the other grains as well, is the
primary factor determining its ca-
pacity to carry safely in ocean tran-
sit without deteriation.
Corn in which the
tent is sufficiently
safely under ordinary conditions of
ocean transportation for any reason-
able length of time during any sea-
son of the year, no matter where it
is stowed in the vessel, while corn
containing a high moisture content is
constantly in danger of heating at
any time owing to a variety of con-
tributing causes. Thoroughly air-
dried corn contains from about 12
to 13 per cent of moisture. Such
corn may be shipped for export at
any time under ordinary conditions
with little or no danger from heat-
ing in transit. This is practically true
also of corn containing up to 14 per
cent. moisture, provided fermenta-
tion has not started.
The fact that certain lots of corn
contain higher percentages of mois-
ture does not necessarily mean that
they will not stand ocean shipment
safely. The corn may be perfectly
sound, the voyage may be short, the
air
mg
and during the voyage may be
low, no disturbing influence, such as
heat radiating from the ship’s boilers,
engine rooms, and shaft tunnels, may
be encountered, and the corn kept
practically in cold storage. Under
such most favorable conditions corn
with a relatively high moisture con-
