bald Hopkins, 1926 Massachusetts, ave-
nue. northwest. and made tentative

the association headquarters. at 1744
Lamont street northwest. to consider
further details. The organization is
not a charitable one. as declared by the
leaders. but patriotic body. In many
cases guardsmen were not prepared
for this sudden rush of events, and
their families will at least need tom
porary help. A central body is needed.
1t was stated, for both the protection
of those in need and the organizations
doing aid work. Without the co-opera-
ton of organizations there would be
waste of effort, and very little real aid
would be given.
To the Rotary Club is being given
the credit for really starting the work
OF aiding guardsmen and their fami-
lies. and the Women's Relief Association
of the District of Columbia National
Guard win cooperate with 1t in get
ting funds and along lines where the
associations composing it can be of
the greatest help. The action of the
Rotary clubs, at least. is likely to be-
come nation wide. The Rotary Club
of the District still heads the aid list
with its subscription of $1,000.

About Sheep.

Write postal to M. S. Nc
Dowell, State College, Pa, and
ask for the latest little book on
Sheep Raising-it is free for the
asking. This book of 62 pages
contains a world of information
wanted right now by many farm
ers who are thinking of increas-
ing their profits by the introduc-
ton of sheep. There are reasons
for failure, as well as for success,
in all undertakings, and our ex-
perimental station at State Col
lege, Pa, has worked out both
sides about sheep raising.
1t seems that there is some
confusion about the name Of the
post Office at State College.
State College" is the name OF
the post office, as we'll as the
name of the school. Mr.. M. S.
McDowellis is a director of Agricul-
tural Extension at that place.

The DANGERS OF GLUTTONY.
Little Talks on Health and Hygiene by
Samuel G. Dixon, NJ. D., IL. D.,
Commissioner of Health.

The children of the Iriquois In
dians it is said, were trained to
eat frugally and taught that over
eating was far worse than under
eating. They were warned that
gluttons would be caught by a
monster known as Sagodakwus,
who would humiliate them in a
most terrible manner if he found
that they were gourmands.
With the price of food stuf's
soaring to almost unheard of fig
ures, in thousands of house.
holds the question of where and
how to save on the food supply
is an important one. Most peo-
pie eat more than they need.
This is particularly true of that
class of individuals engaged in
sedentary occupations.
Perhaps you do not feel that
you come under this head, but
suppose you try a few expert
ments. Make some slight inves-
tigation of the nutritive values of
the different foods, cut your ex-
cessive allowances, eat slowly,
and drink plenty of water but
not at meal times.
1t is said that the Indians had
but two regular meals a day.
The Iriquois had but one. Ger
tain it is that an increasing per-
centage of our population sue
cumb to degenerative diseases
and the concensus of medical
opinion is that overeating is an
important causative factor.

Fulton COnaiy'S Eggs.
B. W. PECK.

According to figures just COM
piled by the State Department of
Agriculture, Fulton county pro-
duces annually approximately
555, $50 dozens of eggs. Estimat-
ing the average price at twenty
five cents makes the value of the
eggs produced annually in this
county reach the sum of $685.
$4,000.
AS nearly as estimate can be
made, seventy eggs per year is
the average for each hen in the
United States. The totals for
Fulton county would indicate that
the average farm flock for Fulton
county numbers about sixty-fve
hens, and we believe that is not
far from correct. Some think
twenty-five cents is a little too
high for the average price. But
even at twenty cents, the total
amount received for eggs during
the year would be over $1O0, 600
a magnificent sum of money from
the Busy Biddies of this county.

HusSing Bee.

Owing to a scarcity of farm
help and a desire to raise funds
for the church, the Ladies' Aid
of Wells Valley Pine Grove M. E.
church on Wednesday of last
week headed by the President
and Vice President hied their
way to W. L. Mosebey's corn
field where they spent the day
husking corn. AS to their ability
to do the work we believe Mr..
Mosebey would testify in their
behalf. The Ladies made the
corn fly; but it was not all work
and no play for a jolly good time
had they; and, as to the dinner
that was served, it was no small
part of the days program, and
those having it in charge would
certainly feel complimented at
the rapidity with which it disap-
peared. Mrs. Fred Reichtly was
an Aid visitor on this occasion,
and she very ably assisted in
preparing the dinner. Those of
the Aid present were: Mrs. V.
D. Schenck, Mrs. j. N. Duvall,
Mrs. A. F. Baker, Miss NJ. Romig,
Mrs. James Chamberlain, Mrs.
N. S. Edwards, Mrs. Hayes Biv-
ems, Mrs. S. W. Anderson, Mrs.
H. E. Spangler, Mrs. G. w. Sipe,
Mrs. Charles Stunkard, Mrs. Har-
vey Bivens, Mrs. w. L. Moseby
and Mary Moseby.

He Lost His Turkeys.

Andrew Brant, of Taylor town.
ship, without mentioning any
names, told the editor a few days
ago that somebody is eating more
turkey this fall than he, and that
he is doing it at Andy's expense.
The thirteenth turkey was stolen
last Sunday-a fine gobbler worth
between five and six dollars.
This brought the veteran turkey
raiser's wrath to white heat, and
if something don't "drap" out
there, we are badly mistaken.

Observe the Law.

The News desires to point Out
some good that may come from
the movement for the preserva-
ton of game by the punishment
of illegal hunting. The very
first requisite of good citizenship
is obedience to law. A man may
be a good" father, husband,
farmer, Democrat or Republican,
but if he is not a law-sbiding
man he is a bad citizen. Let
fathers and mothers teach re-
spect for law and they will in
that way do much to make good
men and women. A community
Of farmers who will stick togeth-
er can accomplish almost any
desired end, and if petty law
breaking is local offense,
there cannot be a more desirable
object than the breaking up of
the practice by a few doses of
the law, if necessary. We fully
believe that many a young man
has been saved from grav e
crimes by being su d den ly
brought face to face with the
consequences of illegal acts,
though committed on small
scale.
