Save the PuIIet
w. S. DIts, Prof. of Poultry Husb.,
Ga. State College of Aeri.

So many people, who grow chickens
in Georgia, sell or eat the pullets
(young females) as friers that Georgia
never makes large increases in the
number of chickens kept on the farm
1t is of utmost Importance that only the
cockerels be used this spring for fry
ing chickens and all the pullets be
kept for laying next winter. The
South will have need for all the eggs
that she can produce. Killing pullet
now means that you are cutting your
food supply next year from 80 to 15C
eggs for each pullet killed. Kill the
young cockereIs, but save the early
Matched pullets.

Usually, though, Cholera gets in

close attention to each hog-each
hog must be dosed-and it you will
dose them as directed, you will save
better than 90 per cent. If you

REORGANIZE NAVY.
ALONG NEW LINES

Washington, July 19.-Rear Ad-
miral Albert w. Grant, formerly
commandant of the Philadelphia
Navy Yard, has been appointed a
vice-admiral by President Wilson
The promotion is part of a partial
reorganization of the Atlantic fleet
which has been ordered by Secretary
Daniels to meet new problems re-
sulting from expansion of the force
to almost twice its normal size.
Admiral Mayo, the Secretary said,
will remain in general command.
with the immediate authority under
him divided between Vice-Admiral
Coffman, at present second in COM
mand, and Vice-Admiral Grant. The
former is to have direct command
of division containing most of the
superdreadnaughts and designated
as force No. g." while Vice-Admiral
Grant will command the remainder
of the fleet under the designation of
force No. l."
1t is understood that the reorgan-
ization will not affect the division of
the fleet now in European waters un-
der Vice-Admiral Sims. At the Navy
Department it was indicated yester-
day that possible operations overseas
Harrisburg telegraph. [volume] (Harrisburg, Pa.) 1879-1948, 1917-07-19

dith was instructed to take a detail
or men and clean up the camp. A
rev minutes later the sergeant was
noted hard at the job, but doing it
all himself. When asked where his
detail was he explained that he had
forgotten to get the detail. and was
doing it himself.
City Leads Country
Captain Harrell has prepared a
set OF figures showing where Penn
sylvania would have stood If the Har-
risburg district had not recruited
enough men to bring the quota of
the other districts up to the require
ments of the State allotment. In the
entire State 16.4S9 men have en-
listed in the Regular Army. The
quota for the State was 1880 and
the enlistments above the require
ment was 1,519. The local district
alone recruited more than 1000 men
above its quota. Without the Har-
risburg district the figures tell where
the State would stand instead of
leading the nation as it does.
Captain Harrell and First Lieuten-
ant R. w. Lesher, U. S. A, together
with their able corps of noncoms,
have made this record possible. Cap
tain Harrell organized the district
comprising twenty counties as care
fully to secure recruits as he would
have organized his company to take
section of trench from the enemy
Since the present officers began
work, and especially since April 1
when the big drive for recruits be-
gan, the lights at the recruiting sta

noticed on the otherwise shiny sur
face. Another. thing to be righted.
and If the appearances of the men
can be taken as a sign the same
thing will not be noted on that
scratch pad the next time.
Soldiers of the Nation
When the inspection was over and
the men at rest for moment, the
usual joking and banter was not to
be noticed. No longer guardsmen of
the State, but soldiers of the nation
and of the world. The ceremony,
simple as 1T was, seemed to have
made deep impression on the men
who had been mustered into the
service. Not a gathering for a sum-
mer encampment but the first big
step for preparation in the world
war.
Reflections Are Few
Late to-day the entire number of
reflections had not been tabulated.
1t was estimated, however. that not
more than forty men had been re-
jected for physical disabilities. One
man has not reported for duty and
in five more days will be considered
a deserter. Another forgot to return
TO camp last night and was not to be
found this morning. To be absent
without leave means the guardhouse
at least.
The men are slowly getting down
to the meaning and status of the
officers standing, but occasionally
the officers themselves forget some
little detail. Sergeant Philip Mere

ton have been seldom dimmed, tell
ing the lone policeman on his beat
that while the city slept, the army
men were devising ways and means
to interest the public in the crisis
they knew would soon confront
them, and to be able to meet that
crisis with the record quota of the
country.
Still They Come
Recruiting at the Regular Army
station still continues to produce a
good daily quota from this district
and vicinity. R. w. Nell, arrested
last evening in Duncannon for i'm
personating an officer. this morning
was taken. to Philadelphia by Lieu
tenant Ira S. Partin. Together with
the former charge three additional
ones will be brought against him
when he is court-martialed. Absent
without leave. drunk sand disorderly
and disturbing the peace will all
stand against him as well as sworn
affidavits from six civilians.
Nell enlisted at the Pottsville sta,
ton and was sent to Harrisburg
more than a month ago. He was ex-
amined here and then given trans
portation to Fort Slocum, New York,
where he was ordered to report.
Nell, however, did not report. Later
he enlisted in the Ninth Pennsylva-
nit Engineers, Company E. Another
of the offenses that stand against
him is said to be sufficient to cause
his dishonorable discharge. Officers
would not even make an estimate
at what his punishment may be. He

lock, look through the barrel and
the suspicious are justified. A
speck in the barrel, too, rust where
1t shouldn't be even if it is harder
to see. Down on a pad goes the de-
feet, that will stand against the COM
pany, and If it is not remedied at
the next inspection, then some one
higher up will go the carpet.
Nothing Escapes
Guns aren't the only things that
are noticed. Nothing escapes the
keen eyes of men who have been
looking for nothing but perfection
since they were commissioned at
West Point. Another stop, not even
a glance at the gun, but the tab of
shirt pocket is turned in. The in
pector passes on, the man drops
from the line and fixes the un-
thought of tab and then returns to
watch, from the corner of his eye
what is happening to his friends
down the line.
Both lines have been inspected. The
officers revolvers have been brought
under the same rigid tests. Appar-
entity that is the finish. Again the
inspectors start up the line, this time
