Last Chance to Can Peaches

food for our army and allies by
saving meat and butter. The size
of the crop is such that Housewives
may get ample supplies at reason
able prices, and to make certain
that the public will have the full
benefit of this last shipment OF
peaches the womens organizations
throughout New York State and
New England are cooperating with
the growers and produce men to
see that the supply keeps up with
the demand in every community.
1t is suggested that housewives
make their preparations this week,
find out what quantity of peaches
they can put up and then place
an order in advance with their
grocers, or at least tell the grocer
what quantity they are prepared 10
handle! This will enable the grocer
to order from the wholesaler and the
wholesaler in turn to order from the
wholesaler and the wholesaler in
turn to order from the growers.
Thus every compunity will get an
adequate supply and there will be
no waste. In past years when grow
ers have lacked this cooperation
with women's organizations, the
tendency has been to ship too many
peaches to the large cities and not
enough to the smaller communities.
But this year the housewives are
working to utilize every scrap of
food available and through their
help it is hoped the fruit will he
conserved by even distribution.

GOING SOUTH

Singing, singing, singing as the miles
click out behind;
Blended voices flinging out theirmes-
sage to the wind;
Lolling in the windows while the
troop train southwark rolls,
Gloriously idle. with full comfort in
our souls.
Sped by smiling strangers and by
kiddies wild with glee,
Leaving, as we rumble on, a wake
of melody
I'm coming, I'm coming, for my head
is bending low;
hear those angel voices calling Old
Black Joe.
Singing, singing, singing in the vel
vet Southern night;
Mocking birds go winging, for we
put them all to flight;
Over wide, black rivers, winding
whittier no one knows,
Past the doors of cabins where the
lamplight redly glows.
Lusty bugles sounding till each sleep
ing valley fills.
Ringing with the mellow notes that
die among the hills:-
So weep no more, my lady; weep no
more to-day.
We will sing one song for my old
Kentucky home,
For my old Kentucky home, far
away.
Singing. singing, singing all the old
time songs we love,
Saddle bags a-swinging to the
rhythm up above;
Through Virginia's foothills and the
Carolinas~ pines,
By the land of cotton and of water
melon vines.
Over Georgia's uplands, with their
slopes ranked deep in corn.
Singing through the sunlit South,
where half our songs were
born:-
Carry mo back to old Virginny,
There's where the cotton. corn and
sweet potatoes grow;
There's where the birds warbIe
sweetly in the springtime.
There's where this poor old dark
ey's heart am long to go.

THIS is THE TEST

= n recent message to the man
back home, Daniel Willard, one
of the great railroad leaders of
the country, said:
If you are about to undertake
an enterprise stop and ask your
self this question: will this help
America win the war;"
This is the crux of the whole
matter. The business of the United
States at the present time is war
and the energy of the people must
be devoted to a successful prosecu-
tion of the big enterprise upon which
we have entered as a nation.
Already a great army has been mo-
bilized, but we are going forward
in the creation of such force as
will definitely determine the con-
fiict which has set the world on fire,
There can be no doubt of the ulti-
mate outcome of the struggle. but
the American people are now realiz-
ing as never before the stupendous
character of the task which they
have undertaken.
There are two reasons why we
should have this test applied. The
immediate one is the necessity for
conservation of every ounce of
Americas power in production.
transportation and distribution. Not
only must America meet her own
wartime economic problems, but
she must assist in meeting those of
England, France, Russia and Italy
for the protection of America.
For example, it will be seen that
the number of American lives sac
rificed on the western front may be
influenced, in a measure, by the
number of American locomotives
furnished Russia-the more locomo-
tives to Russia, the less men to the
western front, the less men to death
The second reason is that rich
America may need every dollar of
its almost incalculable wealth.
AS is further suggested by Mr..
Willard, everybody is a soldier in
this war. Either we are fighting at
the front or back of the lines. but
we are fighting Notwithstanding and
it is the duty of every individual to
give the full force of his or her
energy to the successful consumma-
ton of the cause which represents

A battalion of housewives is wait
ing in every city and town, organized
under the banner of the Food Ad-
mlnistration, ready to do their duty
to family and country by canning
and preserving this crop. In the
past there has been so little CO.
operation between fruit growers and
housewife that very often a bumper
crop came into the market un-
noticed, and hundreds of ears spoiled
for lack of purchasers.
But this year the Food Admin
istration is warning the housewives
in advance that peaches are coming.
These are the last peaches of the
season and the housewife who has

THE REAL THING HERE

A PHILADELPHIA professor has
n taught a monkey to kiss him,
according to the Evening Led
ger. There's something to be ex-
planned here.
Is the professor so homely no girl
will kiss him. is he blind or is he in
condition to have somebody call the
coroner?
If he feels so keenly the need of
being kissed we suggest he enlist,
don an army uniform and attend a
soldiers farewell in Harrisburg some
day soon. It's certainly the open
season for the kissing bug here and
there's no limit to the number that
may be taken. Chain up your

BoROUGHs AND HHGHWAys

X TATE Highway Commissioner
~ O'Neil is on an absolutely solid
ground in his statement as to
the policy which is to be pursued by
his department in the development
of the road system of the Common
wealth. Especially interesting is
his suggestion of immediate CO.
operation of the State with the
boroughs in the building of roads
through these lesser municipalities
All motorists know how utterly in
defensible has been the policy of
building n fine State highway up to
the limits of a borough and there
by creating within the boundaries
thereof a stretch of road destructive
of vehicles and the last vestige of self
control in all who use these intol-
erable borough links.
We trust that Commissioners O'Neil
will Immediately make a survey of
all the boroughs which constitute in
tolerable sections of the State higir-
ways which enter the Capital of the
Commonwealth. Several times pro-
gressive citizens have volunteered
to raise funds for the improvement
of these pieces of roadway and in
at least two instances the funds were
provided too late to make available
the State aid appropriation for
boroughs.
If the new Highway Commissioner
can induce the borough authorities
to cooperate with him in improving
the streets under their jurisdiction
and which are parts of the main
highway system, he will have ac
complished much in completion of a
road system that will be creditable to
Pennsylvania.
With the disappearance of toll
roads and toll gates, the relics of
another day, this State is going to
have thousand invitations-in the
most picturesque highways of the
country-to the tourists of the
world. No work of the present ad-
ministration is more appealing than
the development of the main high
ways.
Here's hoping that Commissioner
O'Neil will stick to his announced
purpose of bringing into harmony
all of the municipalities with the
big department on Capitol Hill, SO

T VERY day brings fresh reasons
n why we cannot make peace with
the German government as it is
at present constituted. The fresh
evidence of Swedish treachery and
German plotting in Mexico astounds
nobody, but it provides another
proof of the utter depravity of Prus-
sianism. There is no crime too low,
no plot too vile for German diplo-
macy. The only sin it knows is that
of being found out, and fortunately
