LOYALTY GARDENS

Attendance as the loyalty gar dens" mass meeting Monday night and the endorsements given there by everyone who spoke, to the campaign for home production to help the nation as well as skag- way in meeting food needs in this war crisis, showed that citizens here realize the responsibility plac- ed upon them and their readiness to perform what has become the great American duty.
 Tn committee which will have charge Of the assignment of lots for ga,dens, has been appointed and applications for ground may be mad 50 iu at once. There is much avail able land here for planting. Ac- corSing tc those familiar with To-  cal gardening, it is imperative that certain things be planted at once and practically all the planting should be completed by the first of June.
 ] There is no agency Of the gov 
 erumeut-at least not now-to com pei planting. It is merely a duty, but a paramount one, the perform ence of which depends upon the in dividual.
 TbIs campaign for home produc- lion does not bear the brand of the aIarmist. It is the effort of soSer-minded citizens to be pre- pared in case of emergency.
 srould the war bring cOndi- ton, that 1t may bring, every bushel nf potatoes raised locally will mean more than so much addition to the home supply. It will mean just that much reduction of the burden that will rest on the states to provide a food supply for Am erica and tho allies.

Founded with the aim of so de- TeIopinU Indian children in health and intellect that they will form in ths1r several camps a foundation on which the missionaries can build in their efforts for the physical an spiritual benefit of the natives, the ChooutIa Indian school at CarcrOss is completing another year of suc- cessful work.
 Thss native school in the Land os the Midnight Sun, where photo gla9bs can be taken in the middle of the night, as shown by the in- scription on the picture of the school building, was first establish- ed at Carcross, Yukon Territory, in 1905. Two shacks, one of logs, were fh. original school. AS the work of training the native children pro gressed and the value of that train ing became apparent, the present commodious building was erected by the Department of Indian Affairs In the fall of 1911 and was placed at th disposal of the Church of Eng trial school for Indian children.

 Bishop Stringer's Work
 The Right Rev. I. O. Stringer of Dawson, bishop of Yukon, was the founder of the school and has been the director of the work that the school is accomplishing for the h. dian children. As he travels thru the territory he continually watch es for suitable children to be train ed at the school.
 A neatly bound pamphlet, print ed and published by the school and issued this month, tells of the work that is being done for the na- tive pupils. One half of the school day is spent in ClassrOoms, The other half is given up to training the children to be an uplift when they return 70 their home camps.

Teachers have enlisted and government econom- les have lowered the efficiency of the schools; special classes, evening classes, medical inspection, free lunches have been reduced or stopped, In addition some 5OOOOO children be- tween twelve and fifteen left school to enter industry in 1915 and probably more than that in 101G Between I50,- 900 and 100000 children eleven and twelve years old are at work.

US. TOLEND HUGE
SUM TO ENTENTE
Congressman Satisfied America
Should Vote $3.00O,0O0,OOO
to the Allies

Washington, April 10. - The ad-
ministration's financial program for
carrying on the war, in so far as it re-
lates to the authorization of a S5.-
OO0,0000,000 bond issue, including $3.-
e0O,0OO0,00 TO be loaned to the allies,
will be placed before Congress within
the next As hours with every prospect
of prompt approval.
The measure, calling for the author
ization of the huge issue, was consid-
cred by the House Ways and Means
Committee this afternoon after the
Republican members had been named
and upon the return of Chairman
kitchin from North Carolina. The
committee probably will report the
measure Wednesday and the House is
expected to begin its consideration
Thursday.
Official announcement was made last
night by Secretary McAdoo, of the

predicted that the amount would be

General Munitions Board

With Fighting Materials

Washington, April 10. - Frank A
Scott, of Cleveland, Ohio, will head
the new General Munitions Board
whose duty will be to supply the army
and navy with munitions and equip
ment.
The board, creation of which is an
nounced by the council of national de-
tense, is composed of twenty army
and navy officers and industrial lead
ers. Most of them are experts on
munitions standards and manufac-
ture and some of the civilian mem
bers have been engaged in supplying
munitions to the allies.
The boards task will be almost
similar to that of the British minister
of munitions and it may develop into
a government department, headed by
a cabinet officer

It's surprising how quickly Hyomei

The clogged nostrils open, the nasty
mucus discharges, splitting, choking.

germs which breed catarrh and ends

RHEUMATISM
Physician Believes a Genuine REM
edy For the Disease Has Been
Found

Rheuma, the wonderful rheumatism
remedy sold by H. c. Kennedy and all
druggists, gives quicker and more last
ing relief than other remedies cost
ing many times as much.
Rheuma passes the deadly poison
Gus secretions into the bowels and kid
neys, from which they are quickly
thrown off in natural. healthy way.
Read what q reputable physician
says about Rheuma: II have made q
most careful investigation of the for
mula employed in the manufacture of
Rheuma. and l heartily recommend
1t as a remedy for all forms of rheu-
matism. l find Rheuma far in advance
of the methods generally employed in
the treatment of rheumatism, and al
together different in composition from
the remedies usually prescribed. DIR.

This should give any sufferer from
rheumatism confidence to try Rheuna.

The Governors Call
The creation of an army of chill
dren to help provide for the army of
the nation was called for by Gov
ernor .Brumbaugh last night in a
proclamation to the school authori-
ties of the Commonwealth. He
called for the organization of pupils
in schools into food growing groups
The proclamation follows:
We are convincingly advised that
this country faces a large food short
age in this current year. 1t is difficult
TO estimate the value to our country
of any service that will add to our
food supply. AS enlistment is re-
quired by our national Government
large numbers of our best young men
will leave the farms to serve the
country. This will further lessen the
production of food.
In this emergency and now I call
upon you, superintendents, directors
and teachers. to organize the pupils in
your several schools into food grow
ing groups and give these boys and
girls practical suggestions and sub
stantial assistance in planting in
home soil all forms of food plants
TO the end that these children, too
young to enter the army or navy,
may perform an important patriotic
duty-that of providing food for our
soldiers and sailors and for our great
army of industrial workers whose
sustenance is essential to our success
in this unhappy crisis of our national
life.
Call upon the county farm agents,
State College and the State Depart
ment of Agriculture for such direc-
tive counsel as You may desire in or
der to comply as completely as pos
sible with this request. Let us give
the army of children a part in pro-
viding food for the army of the ma

Purchase of seed potatoes. seed

sentative Dell, of Huntingdon

The bill calls for a commission of
five members. three of whom shall be
farmers, and provides that the
farmer must agree to return the
amount of seed furnished. or its
equivalent in money. before Decem-
DeF To- All SEED returned to the
commission may be sold and the
money realized turned into the State
Treasury. An appropriation of $780,
