Few strangers come to Harrisburg
who are not greatly impressed with
the River Front tre%ment and the sus-
quehanna basin. They admire many
other delightful features of Harrisburg
life, but the one thing which seems
to impress all is the unique treatment
of the river frontage. We are glad
to note. in view OF widespread approval,
that Commissioner Gross realizes the
Importance OF continuing the work of
permanent improvement started by his
predecessor.

MORE than one-third of all the
Nl National Guardsmen of the East
ern Department now at the bor-
der are Pennsylvanians. Not even
New York, regarded by some authori-
ties as leading all other States in
National Guard efficiency, has exceIed
the Keystone State. All of our troops
by the time this appears in print will
be at the border, while some New
York. Illinois and other State militia
quotas have not gotten away from the
mobilization camps.
Primarily credit is due for this
splendid showing to the systematic
work of Adjutant General Stewart and
those who have labored with him
through the years, including Major
General Clement, now in command at
the border. But much of the imme-
efforts OF one Harrisburg man and to
one other whom we like to think of
as a Neutrality-suspicious. John c.
Shumberger, whose duty it was to turn
over the property of the Guard to the
national government, and Lieutenant
Colonel James 3. Kemper, whose duty
it was to receive it and who also had
charge of the mastering in of the
whole division of Guardsmen mobil-
lied at Camp Brumbaugh. There is
nothing spectacular about Kemper. He
is no grandstand player, but he gets
results. The system he evolved at
Mount Gretna has worked so ad-
mirably that it ought to be drawn to
the attention of the national authori-
ties as a model.
AS a result of his sticking closely to
the letter of the law, Pennsylvania
troops go to the border all physically
fit men, and there will be no such pen
sion scandal and expense as followed
the Spanish American War, so far as
this State is concerned. Not only was
the mastering done efficiently, but so
quickly that Pennsylvania has beaten
all the other States of the Union to
the border.
Which, we submit, provides glory
enough for alT'' concerned and reflects
great credit on the State.

Four Valuable Mice

Four mice were recently listed as
the most valuable shipment in the
cargo of a vessel coming from London
to New York. These mice had been
kept under observation in a London
research laboratory because their an
cestors were inoculated with cancer
germs over fifteen years ago. They
have been studied for the purpose of
noting the hereditary probabilities of
the disease. Because of the possibil-
ity of the London laboratory being de-
stroyed by German bombs it was
deemed advisa ble to send the mice
to New York In order that the knowl-
edge already gained might not be
lost. They are now carefully housed
in the Crocker cancer laboratory con-
nected with Columbia University.

AS TO LIVING COSTS

FORM" The Underwood tariff law was
intended to bring down prices. But
every householder knows how sugar
has almost doubled in cost. how -four
went up to the point where bakers had
to cut the size of their loaves, and
anybody who pays weekly grocery and
household bills will tell you that prices
in general are now higher than ever
before.
Nevertheless, along comes that
prince of figure jusglers. Secretary
Redheld, trying to make black white
by telling us that living expenses are
going down. Says he:
1t is true that retail food prices
increased greatly Immediately after
seems probable that they have been
maintained at higher level ever
since as a consequence of the in
foodstuffs. 4 study Of the retail
prices statistics of the bureau. how
ever, will convince any one that
and possibly cornmeai the prices Of
the principal articles of food since
October, 1914, have been mainly
governed by local and seasonal
conditions and not by the extra
ordinary exigencies brought about
by war.
In other words. he is trying to make
US believe that prices are higher only
in the localities in which we reside
and that elsewhere all is lovely and
Democratic promises are being made
good. The weakness of this argument
is that most folks don't care a "hoot'

A Part In Progress.

Every citizen of the rural conf
munity should feel that it is a pri-
vilege for him to have part in
every good move for education and
general progress. Each should be
anxious to do what he can to help
advance the community.
The community is entitled to
some time and money. No one
has right to get the protection of
organized society without contri-
buting in turn to the people who
make this protection possible.
In addition to the laws of the
land and the duties of state aud
national government, each citizen
owes something to the neighbor-
hood i'm which he lives. There are
social requirements that should
not be overlooked. There are en-
terprises for the benefit of the
neighborho, d that will require con-
tributions in labor or money.
Usually when all do their part
these enterprises have tendency
to build up the neighborhood in
sociability and neighborly kind
ness. Only those who refuse to do
their part lose. Willingness to do
and interest in the work, and not
the size of the contribution, will
be the estimate. :
The satisfaction one has in con-
tributing his time and means to
help others is indeed a great re-
ward. And we cannot afford to
deprive ourselves of this reward
because our income is not great Oh
our contribution small. - Texas

Raise FEED CROPS FIRST:
Then GET LIVESTOCK
reed 10 Foundation Product-Beef,
Butter and Milk the Finished
Articie&

There seems 10 De little doubt that
many OF our farmers are investing
their money in high-priced cattle be-
fore making due preparation for them
in the matter of the necessary feed
crops. While, on the other hand, the
more judicious method would seem to
be to consider, and arrange for, the
various crops suited 70 their system
OF diversified farming, and then Sc
cure the requisite number of cattle
to enable them to market those crops
to the best advantage
Cattle are one of the adjuncts OF
the diversified farm. az II is through
them the feed crops may be most
profitably marketed. And this applies
to the dairy farmer who markets his
crops in the form of milk, butter, etc,
which his cows produce, as it does to
the man who raises beef animals to
supply the market with that essential
commodity. In either case, however,
the feed is the foundation product, or
crude material. and for which the
farmer may obtain IN increased
price when he disposes Of IT in the
form Of the finished articles men,
toned.
1t should be borne in mind, there
fore, that the cattle on the farm are
the machines which produce these
higher-priced finished products out OF
the feed they consume. But, in order
to do this satisfactorily, which means
profitably, they must. necessarily,
first have the crude material, in the
form of feed, out of which to manu-
facture them.
AS We said before, there are, per-
haps. many Of our farmers who have
been investing in high-priced cattle
who have not yet given a thought 70
the production of feed crops on which
to properly sustain them; and, on the
other hand, there are others who have
an abundance of feed crops that they
are selling OF the farm in the raw
state, but which would be more profit
able to them il they had a sufficient
number Of cattle through which to
market them.
The possession Of cattle without the
necessary feed production is very sim
liar to owning a mill without the raw
material to manufacture; it is a one
sided and Improbable proposition.
Then, again. bare pastures and the
better class Of cattle, no matter what
the breed or variety. do not 60 to-
gether; neither is it always profitable
to have to buy feed, unless 1t can be
economically obtained in exchange
for, or through the disposal of. some
other commodity raised upon the
farm.
A large number of good cattle, OF
both the dairy and beef breeds, are
being purchased by our farmers
throughout the state, and as both the
dairy and beef-producing industries
are new to most of them, it would
be we'll that they consider a few
points we have raised, if they antici-
pate making the most out of either
In any event, the success of either
must depend upon the economic pro-
duction of feed crops, and. in conse-
auence. the latter should receive first
consideration. w. H. Dlarymple,
