EVERY INCH A SOLDIER
New York SUM-

The United States army lost a
splendid officer when Major James
Edward Normoyle died in quarters al
Fort Ontario. No mans zeal was
greater and the Majors capacity foI
doing a thing the right way never
failed him. As quartermaster there
has seldom been his equal in the army.
His work I'm the Mississippi Valley
during the foods of 1912 at Dayton
when that city was overwhelmed, and
at the Gettysburg encampment on the
fiftieth anniversary of the battle
called not only for great organizing
ability but for incessant application
shrewd knowledge of human nature
the patience of Job, and the tact oi
a diplomat. CHEEKY, optimistic, self
sacrificing Mickey" Normoyle was
one of the best known men i'm the
army, and he could i'll be spared.

HTILLIAM ALLEN WHITE and

at Chicago next June. "Favorite sons"

now every one buys 1t.
What created this immense
business?
Advertising definite news
paper advertising.
Certain merchandising savings

The advertising made these
facts known and the response
was instantaneous.
Instead of being a dull month,
February is now one of the

DEMOCRATS HELP FOREIGNERS

n T the annual convention of the
"A National Boot and Shoe Manu-
facturers, in New York, the
tarih committee of that organization
adopted resolution urging the
restoration of the duty on shoes that
VIII cover the wage differential of the
American over the foreign working
man. They also declared for a tariff
board to investigate industries here
and abroad and advise Congress re-
specting the same. The president of
the association in his address declared:
II We wish to retain our home
markets for our home products
against foreign invasion. which is
absolutely certain to come. we must
prepare for II now. Trade moving
along the line of least resistance,
must expect to meet the opposition
OF foreign shoes in our market, and
as an indication of what will hap
pen let me call your attention TO
the fact that the present tarifr plac-
ing shoes on the free list during the
few months of its operation had al
ready stimulated shoe operations.
and its effect would have been seri-
ously felt by inroads made in our
home market had not the outbreak
of the present war stopped foreign
shipments OF shoes. The admins
tration in Washington is fully
aware OF this fact.
The gentleman is quite correct in
his assertion. Statistics compiled by
the Department of Commerce show
that imports of shoes increased during
the ten months free operation of the
Underwood law. October, 1918, to July,
1914, 20 per cent. over the period Oc-
tober, 1912, TO July, 1918. ten months.
under the Republican law, while dur
ing the ten months war period, under
the Democratic tariff law. October,
1914. to July, 1915. the imports OF
shoes showed a slight increase over
the Republican ten months period
despite the huge demand from the
belligerents for shoes. Shoes cost from
10 TO 20 cents a pair more to manu-
faeture now than year ago, owing to
the increased cost of shoe findings.

CHILDREN AND BIRDS

NTIGHT it not be we'll for the
Nl school children of Harrisburg
1000 of them-to be taught
in some way the value of bird life
to the city and country. While no
municipal appropriation is made for
the feeding of the birds during the
winter, we believe the children of Har-
risburg might easily be induced to
care for their bird friends
throughout the winter months.
1t has been found that it pays to feed
the birds and protect them and en-
courage them in every way. We can
not do better than adopt the language
of the Kansas City Star in discussing
the bird question:
The city of Brookline. Mass. had
tired IN every way to save its shade
trees that were being killed by
caterpillars and moths. and il
seemed they were doomed. when a
man who knew what birds would
do presented a plan for their en-
couragement. They were fed. cared
for. given boxes in which to nest
and they saved the trees Now a
person who would kill a bird in
Brookline would go to Jail quickly
If found out.
Insects are a menace with which
man is at constant war They
threaten nearly all our crops. Birds
eat the insect eggs and thus keen
the insects within bounds The
Department of Agriculture found
one thousand cinch bugs in the crop
OF one flicker; sixty grasshoppers in
the crop of nighthawk; twenty
eight worms in the crop of a red
winged blackbird; one hundred
worms in the crop of a cedarbird
Do something to help tide the
birds over this hungry spell and
they will work for all of US next
summer when the insect pests be-
gin to multiply. good way is to
put bread crumbs, cracked nuts
and suet on boards in the back
yard. The birds will find il.
