EDITORIAL
HOW TOWNS ARE JUDGED
A good newspaper, a good hote
a clean town ana courtesy among
business people are marks that |
strangers take note of and use
otten in forming an impression of
a community. We all have some- |
thing to do to make Mount Joy
winsome to the wayfarer,
NATURE UNMERCIFUL
Man s justice 1s more me reiful |
than nature's. :
A Califorma bus driver with a
load of school children beat a
train to the crossing, but was fined
$00, for his recklessness.
Nature's penalty, if he had
a second slower, would have been
death, for him and many of his
charges. Nature takes no excuses
and has no tolerance of error,
honest or not. Most disasters are
somebody’s fault.
In nauwure’s court,
error is death.

been
the penalty of
ABOUT TOWN
Honesty needs no explanation, no
apology and no advertising. Quite |
true. But how about the stranger
within our gates, who is looking |
for a square deal. Let your little |
ads so read that they will not |
blind the buyer. Get the habit of
reading The Bulletin. It's'a Happy
Habit That Every Progressive Per-
son Should Become Attached To.
PAY YOUR DOCTORS
The good doctors of this
munity are deserving oi pror
ward for faithful services render-
ed. This can come only thru
prompt payment of your doctor’s
bill and a kindly word for the
good work they do. We have said
it before and we say 1t again,
“The doctors are the worst 1mpos-
ed upon set of professional “men
known,” but the happy part of it
is, these servants of humanity are
getting away with the dead beat
just as are all good business men.
It is Tight that they should in or-
der to render the deserving patients
com-
mpt re-
the best service. Of course, in
charitable cases the good doctor
goes his limit but it isn’t right for
hands
him to have to suffer at the
of the imposter. It is just as nec-
essary that you pay your doctor as
your grocer or any one else from
whom you obtain service or goods.
Puy your doctors if you would
keep in good credit standing with
them.
ROUND AND SQUARE
A square peg never fits a round
hole. . This adage is old as man
almost, yet its application is not
always apt. The trouble is not
with the peg but with the hole.
We say a man is as square as a
brick; that he stands four square
to every proposition; that he is
square in all his dealings. The
square from time immemorial has
been emblematic of rectitude. On
the other hand, the circle, while
emblematic of infinity, is also sym-
bolic of those phases of character
that are not always desirable.
Thus, it is better to be a square
better for
peg than a round hole
you and all concerned.
ARMISTICE DAY
What could be more fitting than
that the ultimatum, delivered by
the Council of The League of Na-
tions, commanding Bulgaria and
Greece to withdraw their troops
behind their national borders, and
to cease hostilities forthwith, should
have been formulated and deliver-
ed practically on the eve of Armis-
tice Day? Time, which modulates
the passions and provides a deeper
background for mutual understand-
ing, time which levels .all things
and lays the shepherd’s crook be-
side the sceptre, has brought much
of moral advancement to the
world, but never has it given to us
a happier augury than now when
it turns the consideration of Armis-
tice Day to one of softened joy in
place of inspiration for the re-
newal of hatreds and continued
bitterness of soul. It seems almost
as if that great apostle of peace,
dying practically discredited, had
arisen in the spirit to stretch His
arms over the peoples of the world
in calm but forceful command
that reason henceforth shall reign
supreme. Men in our national
congress may differ as to the wis-
dom of this great nation entering
into the entangling alliances of the
League; readers of ten thousand
newspapers may hold ten thousand
different views, but all will rejoice
that renewed bloodshed on the field
for battle, with its incident horror
and human suffering has been
checked, and muskets silenced by
the influence of a great American.
As the years roll on that influ-
ence must grow in power, carrying
in place of sadness, solace to those
stricken souls whose dear ones
went west for human freedom. No
more need Armistice Day cause the
eve to flash in memory of great
wrong done. Rather may it now
make the stricken soul pass from
that pain that is almost pleasure
in its sacrifice, to pleasure that is
almost pain in its nobility.

Provide Fresh Air
Fall colds and roup in the -poult-
ry flock are usually brought about
by faulty ventilation. Three sides
of the poultry house should be
tight, with a liberal opening in the
front for fresh air. This should
be covered with .a muslin eurtain
only when #* is stormy or on ex-
tremelv c~1d nights Frost or
moisture ceiling og side
walls and foul a'r in the voultry
house are nositive indications of
poor: ventilation.

EARLY FLOWER AND
VEGETABLE GROWTH
Although the use of artificial
light to stimulate vegetable growth
is still in the experimental stages,
enough has been accomplished to
warrant tne predict.on oi scientists
that light may in a few years be
supplied economically to the com-
mercial grower of early vegetables
and flowers, says the Pennsylvan-
ia Public Service Information Com-
niittee. This will make possible” a
more abundant supply of many
popular flowers and vegetables at
seasons of the year during which
they are at present rare. Some of
the most interesting experiments
‘along this line are being carried
out just a few miles from New
York City, at the Boyce Thompson
Institute for Plant Research in
Yonkers.
To study the growth of plants
under artificial light, two basement
rooms are used. Daylight has no
access to these rooms. One. of
ithem is kept constantly dark and
serves as an artificial night. The
\other room is illuminated by pow-
{erful electric lights suspended from
the ceiling. Plants are exposed to
this artificial light for a number
|of hours each day, after which
ithey are put into the dark room
{in which the 24 hours cycle of the
iday is completed. It was found
that plants grown under these con
ditions not only were healthy,
‘bloomed and produced seed, but
| that many of them bloomed earler
in artificial light than similar
‘plants under the best greenhouse
i conditions. Among the latter were
the geranium, snapdragon, radish,
jsunflower and sweet peas. Nas-
{turtiums grown under artificial
light were found to last longer
than those grown in natural light.
The experiments carried on in
Ithese cellar-like rooms under elec-
trie light, prove that plants can be
grown without ever enjoying day-
light. Some very interesting ex-
periments were carried on to find
out what would happen if the day-
light were supplemented by electric
| light, at night. For these experi-
iments a . large _ electrically driven
crane, from which are suspended
48 electric lights of _ 1.000 watts
each, about 50,000 fandle power,
is moved at night over the green-
| house. The lamps are arranced so
{that the investicator can reculate
{the amount of IT'ght used each
inicht at his will. © Some remark-
{ahla results have been ohta'ned
| with the aid of this anparatus.
| It was found that giving plants
jadditional light after the sun went
{down, greatly hastened growth.
iSweet peas bloomed five weeks
earlier than they did in daylight
alone, A certain kind of clover
{which under natural conditions
itakes two vears to bloom, when
was grown from seedling to head,
and seed produced in from two to
four weeks less than in the green-
house under natural light. Those
are only a few of the many inter-
esting results of these researches.

|BUY LAND CAUTIOUSLY,
STATE DEPARTMENT ADVISES
_ Pennsylvanians, both farmers and
city folks, are advised by State De-
partment of Agriculture to be cau-
tious about buying farm land in dis-
tant states. Land, like grass, looks
greenest at a distance to some peo-
ple and they are easily talked into
an investment by speculators often
before the land is scen. Even when
seen, the purchaser may be so en-
gulfed in the enthusiasm of the real
estate agent that the fact is for-
getten that land must have transpor-
tation facilities and the products a
satisfactory market in order to have
value for farming purposes.
. Before disregarding an investment
in farm land in Pennsylvania in fa-
vor of land in a distant state, at-
tention is called to the fact that
land in this state ‘casts relatively
less in view of its unexcelled local
markets and its ability to produce
geod crops than the land in many
sections in which farmers have re-
cently been asked to invest their
money. No state has more large
consuming centers within trucking
distance of the majority of its farms
than Pennsylvania. This obviates
long costly freight hauls and gives
every assurance of a satisfactory
market outlet.
However, if a person is determin-
ed to invest in land outside the
State, he is urged to make a person-
al inspection of the land before
buying. It often happens that un-
suspecting people buy swamp or des-
ert land, or perhaps property too re-
mote from transportation facilities
to be of any value. In other cases,
the land may be fertile, but insects
or diseases make crop or livestock
production unprofitable. If purchas-
ers would take the time to make
some investigation in the state where
the land is located, they could more
wisely decide where to invest hard-
earned savings of half a life time.

Reports received by the United
States Department of Agriculture
on damage done by the Hessian fly
to the 1925 wheat crop show that in
Kansas alone this insect reduced the
crop at least 40.000,000 bushels.
The situation is still very alarming
and there has been a determined
effort on the part of farmers in
many counties to follow the program
recommended for Hessian fly con-
trol.

ONLY TWO CASES OF FOWL
PEST SINCE LAST SPRING
> Fear of recurrence of European
fowl pest, which appeared in the
United States for the first time about
a year ago, has caused many poultry-
men in the Central West to feel
alarmed at any sign of sickness a-
mong their birds. Numerous inves-
tigations have been made by repre-
sentatives of the United States De-
partment of Agriculture during the
past two months at the request of
poultrymen in these States. In all
instances the findings have been that
the losses, which in a few shipments
have been quite heavy, have been
caused by some of the common ail-
ments, such as roup, or by dietetic
disturbances, apparently the result
of hardships attending the transpor-
tation of the birds, aggrevated by
improper feeding and confinement in
unsanitary quarters.
Only two outbreaks of fowl pest
kave occurred since last spring, one
in New York and the other in Del-
aware . In the former State the dis-
ease made its appearance about July
1 in a flock of 900 chickens near
East Hampton, on Long Island. In
the latter State about 200 chickens
on a farm near Dover were involved
early in August. The usual slaugh-
ter and disinfestion methods were
employed in combating these out-
breaks and there has been no subse-
quent spread.
‘While the department does not
wish to minimize the importance of
watchfulness for fowl pest by- the
poultry raiser, it is desirous of im-
pressing on those engaged in con-
centrating and distributing poultry
the importance of maintaining their
plants and equipment in a sanitary
condition and improving their feed-
Ing practices. Some progress has
been made, says the department, but
much remains to be done. Many of
these common ailments which have
worried the poultrymen might large-
ly be avoided by exercising greater
care to create Sanitary conditions
and to "adopt approved methods of
feeding.
Veterinary inspectors employed at
the department’s sub-stations main-
tained for amimal disease and meat
inspection work in each of the
chicken-raising States are keeping
in close touch with the producers,
distributors, and slaughterers of
poultry. When any unusual losses
are reported to the Bureau of Ani-
mal Industry of the department, em-
ployvees experienced in poultry dis-
ease work are detailed to investigate.
The bureau is prepared. to act quick-
ly in the event there should be a re-
currence of either fowl pest. or in-
fections bronchitis.
