Our Bargain

Is all our world upon a counter laid?
That is their taunt who say they
know us well.
Then, like true merchants, let us to our
trade;
What wares has God to sell?
A world at liberty. a path made clear
For steadfast justice and enduring
peace,
Nations released forever from the fear
OF evil days like these
A sound investment! but the
price is high.
Long-hoarded wealth in ruin, flame
and steel,
Death lurking in the sea and in the
sky
What say you? Shall we deal?
Shall we know terror shall our strong
ones fall
That others children, fearless in the
sun,
May see our visions and accomplish all
That we must leave undone?
We take Thy bargain. Master of the
Mart.
Though we may finch, we cannot
turn away.
Send thy resistless fire upon our heart
And make us strong to pay.

SEEDS READY TO
BE- DISTRIBUTED

The garden seeds which the National
Emergency Food Garden Commission
at Washington offered to the people of
Harrisburg through the HARRISBURG
TELEGRAPH, have been received and
turned over to the Harrisburg Benevo-
lent Association for distribution. The
seeds are valued at 500 and are suf-
flcient for planting $4,000 square feet
of ground.
Selections of the seeds will be given
to deserving ones who have made ap-
plication to the association. The peo-
pie of Harrisburg have entered into
the home garden movement, which is
nation wide, with enthusiasm, and it is
expected that those who are fortunate
enough to have lots will be able to
supply themselves with vegetables
throughout the summer. The articles
on gardening which appear frequently
in the HARRISBURG TELEGRAPH
have been a big factor in stimulating
interest in vegetable growing.
The Agriculture Committee of the
Chamber of Commerce meets late this
afternoon to perfect plans for utilizing
vacant land within the city limits for
vegetable growing, and to make as
! signments of lots to those who have
applied for garden space The COM
mittee has more applications now than
1t seems possible to take care of, but
| it is their object to accommodate all
comers
Harrisburg Boy Scouts will shortly
be enrolled in nationwide backyard
garden movement. Plans for mobiliz-
ing nearly 1000 Boy Scouts to tackle
the food problem were discussed yes
terday in New York City by officials of
the Boy Scouts and representatives of
the United States Department of Agri-
culture.
Two million home garden, cultivated
under the auspices of the Boy Scouts
of America, is the object of the move
ment. That it would prove invaluable
to the United States during the war,
is the opinion of experts of the Agri-
culture Department. The plan is for
each Boy Scout to raise one garden
himself and to persuade nine other
persons to plant gardens.

VOLUNTEERS ARE
SAMPLE OF WASTE
Reginald Wright Kaufman
Points Out Futility of
System

The Volunteer Soldier is the great
est example of militant enthusiasm in
the world-and the greatest example
of waste. Nobody who mas been pres
ent at one of the battles of the Euro
pean war can have any doubt of it:
the Volunteer System is murder. Write
to your Congressman to vote for Uni
Versal Service under Federal control
and stop that murder.
The volunteer system attracts men
with high ideals-but it doesn't sup
ply them with training 1t draws the
men who are energetically patriotic
but 1t doesn't give them sound bodies.
1t appeals to the men with fire in
their blood-and then it pours out
that blood in a river that an enemy
whose army is the result of universal
service can ford in single day. The
statistics of all volunteer service
plainly demonstrate this: that the
men first to volunteer are at once the
bravest men and the least effective
soldiers; countless lives must be sac
rificed in warfare before those volun-
teers have become militantly fit. Write
TO your Congressman TO vote for uni
versal service under Federal control
and stop that service.
That is the only remedy. I have
seen handful of Germans, the prod

Use Cocoanut Oil
y For Washing Hair

If you want to keep your hair in
good condition, be careful what you
wash it with.
Most soaps and prepared shampoos
contain too much alkali. This dries
the scalp makes the hair brittle, and
is very harmful. Just mulsifed
cocoanut oil (Which is pure and en-
tirely greaseless), is much better than
the most expensive soap or anything
else you can use for shampooing,
as this can't possibly injure the hair.
Simply moisten your hair with
water and rub it in. One or two tea
spoonfuls will make an abundance of
rich, creamy lather, and cleanses the
hair and scalp thoroughly. The lath-
er rinses out easily, and removes every
particle of dust, dirt, .dandruff and
excessive oil. The hair dries quickly
and evenly, and it leaves it fine and
silky, bright, fluffy and easy to man
age.
You can get mulsified cocoanut oil
at most any drug store. 1t is very
cheap, and a few ounces is enough
to last everyone in the family for
months.

your Congressman to vote for uni
versal service and stop such in1us-
tice.
You'll Pay
Or you don't go. You won't volun-
teer. You stick where you are. You
love your own business or your own
wages better than your country's life.
Don't think that let's you out. Under
the volunteer system we'll need-all
history proves it-six armies where,
under universal service, we should
have needed only one. They'll be
needed to save your business for you
your wages-and each army of vol
unteers will cost more than the one
under universal service would have
cost. Each of the six will cost more
and you'll pay for them! You will
have to foot the taxes; you will have
to settle the bill. Do you know what
the stay-at-homes are paying in En-
gland to-day because of England's S
volunteer system? They're going
broke" because of it-big businessmen
and little laborers. You will have to
Sweat blood" for your volunteers!
Write to your Congressman and tell
him to vote for universal service and
save your savings.
You insure your house against fire;
you insure your life against death; why
don't you want to insure your family
your income, your existence against
the effects of inevitable war? This
country is going to fight because its
business, its honor. its continuance as
a nation-because the safety and WELL
being of every man, woman and child
in America-demands that it go to
war and go quickly. Do you want II
to be beaten? If you do, help to
maintain the volunteer system. If
you don't; write to your CONGRESSMAN
service under federal control and save
the country-save you! Reginald
Wright Kaufman, of the Vigilantes.

Farmers in Deciding on Action
Plan to Increase Food
Supply

Members of the general committee
of the Hogestown Horse and Cattle
show at q meeting last night in the
Senate Hotel decided not to hold the

Each member present in addition to
deciding not to hold the show, pledg-
ed himself to make every effort to
provide a maximum food supply.
To Hold Patriotic Meeting
Plans were made for a farmers pa
triotic mass meeting to be held in

from State College and the United
States Department of Agriculture.

suggest to the farmers how they can
best arrange their crops and increase
the production. Those present last

HOW TO ESCAPE BUGS

Potato bugs do not become really
active until we have had several days
Of deal warm weather." says Jason
Woodman, well-known potato author
ity of Michigan. Hence, If the sea-
son is late and the ground cold, like
The season of 1916, potatoes should be
planted late. If this is done, there
will be little loss from potato bugs"
continues Mr.. Woodman. There Is a
great tendency this year to plant the
potatoes before the ground thorough
ly warns up. Potatoes are apt to rot
or to be killed by early frosts when
planted in cold ground. Potato seed
at SO to 81 a bushel is too valuable to
plant In cold ground: Wait until it
warns up then plant 8 to 5 inches
deep in ell-prepared, well-manur-
ed and fertilized soil and you will he
able to raise good tubers.
