THE AMERICAN BOY.

The American boy is certainly
a "corker." He has not only
raised two Or three times as much
corn to the acre and just twice as
much fat in the same length Of
time on a hog at less cost than
any of the regular farmers have
been able to do, but, he has beat
them just as far in raising sugar
beets. He has raised "a IL tons
OF sugar beets to the acre with q
very high grade sugar content out
in Utah.
At the farmers congress held a
short time ago in Omaha a pro-
fessor of the Minnesota State uni
versity made a report on the work
of the boys corn clubs up in that
northern country where they can
only raise ninety and To-day corn
on account of the shortness of the
season, and the fact developed
that the clubs averaged eighty-two
bushels to the acre. The regular
farmers up there average less than
twenty-five bushels.
The girls are equalling the boys
in their own fields of work and
some of them have gone into the
poultry business, producing re-
suits equalling the work of the
boys. AL this comes about by
the youngsters being willing to be
taught, and then following the di-
rections of the experts, whicl
some Of the farmers fail to do.
When these boys and girls arrive
at manhood and womanhood there.
is going to be something DOING
in these United States.

London, Oct. 21. 1922 p. m.-The
entente powers are bringing all posi-
BILE pressure to bear on Greece in order
to elicit an unequivocal definition of
her policy toward the other Balkan
States and the European belligerents.
They have intimated clearly that on
account of the geographical position
OF Greece and her treaty obligations
to Serbia her announced policy of neu-
trality will be difficult, if not impossi-
Bile, to maintain.
1t has become a question in the
opinion of the allied diplomats of not
permitting Greece to continue what is
considered an ambiguous policy until
her opponents in the war are able to
utilize the neutral position of Greece
to their own advantage.
The Greek government is now con-
sidering the British offer of the island
Iof Cyprus, which, according to an
Athens message, Britain will cede i'm
mediately on condition that Greece
joins the allies. The Russian foreign
minister, NJ. Sazonoff, has issued a
statement that he considers the allies
justified in adopting any measures to
prevent their enemies from taking ad-

tons annual convention Commissioner
of Health. Samuel G. Dixon, of Penn

up to October first there were
fewer cases of typhoid fever reported
in Pennsylvania than ever before In
any one year since we have had statis-
tics, this despite the fact that the
population is increasing at the rate of
one hundred and twenty thousand per
year.
"A single case of typhoid fever in a
community causes more comment now
than dozen would have a few years
ago. D..
while half the world Is engaged in
slaughter. we are winning battles for
the conservation of life. 1t is trench
fighting, but we are making progress.
In ten years, typhoid fever has been
reduced 20 per cent. in Pennsylvania" :"

Uphold Law Which Makes
Meals Sole Candidate
BY .4ssocfntcd Prcss

Wilkes Barre, Pa, Oct. 21-The
Luzerne county court, four judges
concurring and one dissenting, upheld
the act making the candidate for
Mayor in a third class city receiving
more than fifty per cent. of the vote
cast the sole candidate for that Of
flee at the general election. The deci-
sion was handed down denying the
mandamus action of Sheriff Lewis P
Kniffen, who was a candidate at the
primaries. to force the county COM
missioners to place his name on the
ballot as a candidate for Mayor of
this city at the general election.
Mayor John V. Kosek, who is a can
didate for reelection, received more
than fifty per cent. and his will be
the only name to appear on the official
ballot November 2.
The question of whether or not Har-
risburg should vote for one or two
candidates for Mayor at the November
election was settled yesterday by the
County Commissioners who decided
that Dr. Ezra S. Meals had received
more than half the number of ballots
cast in the city. The number was ar
rived at by counting over the regis
trars' check lists and thus determin-
ing how many ballots were issued.
