Harrisburg automobile owners are
taking an interest in the Bennett bill
now in a House committee which
would require every manufacturer,
dealer or individual upon consumma-
ton of sale 70 deliver to the buyer
of car bill of sale and to have in
case of a resale all prior bills deliv-
cred to the last buyer. This is a plan
which many automobile companies
and agencies have followed for years
and is recognized as a good business.
1t is designed to catch the people who
have stolen cars. being especially
aimed at the automobile thieves who
have caused much loss in Philadel-

A disposition is being manifested
among members of the Legislature to
allow things to slide for while in
connection with the Philadelphia bills
sponsored by the Committee of Sew
enty and to hold them back until war
measures are disposed of. The small
council and small school board bills

will also be opposition shown to the
amendments planned to the Philadel-

to the German-born living in this
country to do their duty by the ma

Samuel Gangware, of Weatherly,
has been chosen as steward of the
Middle Coal district almshouse.
The manner in which the House
lined UP behind Speaker Baldwin yes
terday in the enforcement of the rule
to keep off the floor all persons not
authorized or members of the families
of members has been much COM
mented upon. 1t was the first time the
Speaker has gone on the floor in de-
fenSe of his actions and it was noticed
that most of the men who voted to set
aside the rule were men who had op-
posed Baldwin for Speaker.
Senators Ware and McNichol have
divided the contracts for the construc-
ton of the latest portion of the Phila-
delphia subway. The McNichol firm
seems to have gotten slightly the best
of it.
The Legislature has before it bills
which would provide no less than
three new judgeships. 1t is said that
it is unlikely that the measures will
get very far.
The Schantz proposed amendment
to the constitution for the abolition of
associate judgeships has been sent
back to committee.
Lebanon policemen have been
granted an increase in salary and the
same action is being taken in a num-
Der of other cities.

German arms which would otherwise
have been certain, thus saving US from
the terrors of German militarism. We
are fighting Germany because the sue
cess Of Germany would mean the end
of freedom here and everywhere.
America cannot remain free if kaiser
ism wins. If Germany should tri-
umph over our European allies, we
would have to battle single handed
with a victorious Teuton autocracy,
determined to conquer and subjugate
the world.
For 40 years Germany has been
building up military machine. the
central thought of which has been
world domination, and this terrible
world calamity of blood and misery is
the result of this aim Of the German
autocracy.
Outlaw Among Nations.
Germany's method of warfare, in the
sinking Of merchant ships without
warning, in the drowning Of helpless
women and children, in bombarding
unfortified cities, in lurking like as
sassins beneath the waters and In the
air, ready to strike and murder the un-
armed, the unsuspecting, and the help
less, has evidenced lvagery and
brutality such as the W id has never
known before. Humanity will find it
difficult to forgive and history impos-
sibie to forget. Germany is the out
law among the nations, trampling I'M
der foot every obligation Of fnterna-
tional law, threatening every ideal
dear to the hearts Of freemen; and
| the world will not be safe place for
liberty until the German antocracy is
overthrow and crushed forever.
We would have lost the respect of
mankind and our own self-respect had
we failed to take up the gauntlet SO

German rulers. We are fighting for
our own freedom and for the freedom
Of all men during all the years to

for democracy and autocracy cannot
exist side by side. A state of war was
recognized by congress, and thus re-
luctantly we We're brought into the
world conflict, after the president had
done everything that could fairly be
done to avoid the catastrophe. Now
that we are in the war we see, with
clearer vision, that it was inevitable
that we should go in, for it Is our war
as much as the war Of England and
France. 1t Is war to preserve our
rights and our liberties as much as
theirs.
Fight Is Universal.
1t Is now evident to all thinking
Americans that Germany must be con-
quered or else Germany Will conquer
us along with the rest of the world
There have been many fights for free
dom since the beginning Of history,
but they were merely local, while this
is universal. There have been many
wars for the liberty of a race, while
this war is for the liberty Of all man
kind. Other wars have been waged
to free one people, while this war is
not only to keep ourselves free but to
make free humanity of every race and
of every creed. The outcome will de-
termine whether the world will be all
democratic or all autocratic, whether
government Of the people and by the
people shall obtain throughout the
earth or shall perish everywhere. We
are at war with Germany because
there Is an irreconcilable conflict be-
tween the ideals Of this republic and
the dominating purposes of the Ger
man autocracy. If our ideals do not
prevail, then the German autocracy
will prevail over us. We are fighting
Germany because Of outraged Bel

FAULT-FINDING BAD HABIT
Others Displeasure and Gains
Critic Nothing.

Fault-finding is perhaps the king of
indoor sports. Or should it be cata-
logued as the queen? 1t Is one of the
simplest Of pleasures. There are mil
lions of people who think they can dis
play their superior taste or knowledge
by finding fault.
The coffee is not right My taste
about coffee, therefore, is superior and
more delicate than that of others
There Is something lacking in the deco
rations or the furniture. My Judgment,
therefore, is somewhat superior to the
other mans.
This habit Of fault-inding Is most,
disagreeahle one-one too that grows
unless effort is made to overcome it,
declares writer In the Milwaukee
Journal. 1t never appears to occur to
fault-fnders that they themselves
may be lacking in taste or ability.
What is the need. anyway, of damp
ening the pleasures Of others in their
possession or actions? One almost
always can find something to COM
mend. And If there is nothing what
ever, one would De Well TO De gentle IN
criticism, or else say nothing. There
are countless little things we may wish
were different, but it Is not good to
keep pointing them out. Silence about
trifling things that one does not like is
a virtue.
Let US guard our tongues against
useless fault-finding. Let us trim our
selves to the best model we can find
and remember we are not responsible
for the conduct or the works Of the
world at large. The world may be
wrong sometimes. But 1t may fire.
quently be right when we think it
wrong. And we ourselves have no
claim to perfectness In judgment or
taste.

mer. Give them skim milk, whey.
some grain, or anything else you have
but be sure to give them all they can
eat.
Keep the calves growing. Give them
some grain, separate from milk, and
all the good hay they can eat. Veal
Is now worth 16 cents pound. A good
veal is worth $35.
Feed the lambs well. They are worth
$40 apiece and wool is worth from SOC
to zoe a pound.
Feed the cows well. Keep them
milking You may dislike to see them
eat so much, but please give them all
they can eat all the time. The price
of milk, butter and cheese is going out
of sight. Butter fat may be worth 81
pound before long.
Feed and handle the mares so that
you will save all the colts next spring.
Good horses are worth $75 a head
more than they were year ago. A
good horse is worth $500.

Practical experience as well as ex-
perimental work has taught that
straw and slower can be used very eco
nomically in the rations Of almost all
kinds Of live stock. These roughages
are and should be used in the fat
tening rations Of all farm animals ex-
cept hogs, and should compose the
larger part Of all wintering or keep
ing rations for cattle, sheep, and
horses. Breeding herds Of beef cat
tie or dry dairy cows can be success
fully kept on rations composed large
ly Of those materials. Flocks of breed
ing ewes do well with such feeds when
some grain is added. Horses doing
very light or no work need little grain
lif given plentiful allowance of clean,
bright straw or slower. Under GER
tain conditions, of course, grain should
be added to the. ration, but now it
should be conserved as largely as pos
sible for human consumption.
The following rations have been
found to give excellent results:
For Beef Cattle.
Rations for wintering breeding cows.

Straw, 10 pounds.
Silage, 20 pounds.
Cottonseed or linseed meal, / pound
Ration p

In these rations various other feeds
may be substituted. In the rations
given for yintering breeding cows def
mite quantities of straw and slower
are given. In actual feeding such fig
ures should be somewhat disregarded
and the cattle given as much roughage
as they will consume.
Yearlings may be fed three-fourths
the ration for breeding cows and may
be expected to come through the win
ter in fair to good condition.
