CHERRY PIE

TAN all the cherries you can"
is the catch phrase the Depart
ment of Agriculture is using to
induce housewives to take ADVANTAGE
Of the generous crop now on the
markets.
It's a grand thought, for canned
cherries are no mean dish in whatso-
ever form they appear during the
long, lean months of winter. But the
idea can be carried to extremes.
There is cherry pie, for instance.
Fresh, juicy cherry pie, we mean;
the kind made from cherries only
few hours from the tree, which
never knew the inside of tin can or
glass jar, and with the warmth of
the oven, the crispness of lightly
Drowned crust and the honey sweet
ness of rich syrup glorifying the
luscious contents.
We would point out to the eminent
conservationists who would embalm
all the cherries to be had, that con-
servation of food supply is not alto
gether confined to piling up canned
cherries for use next winter. Cher
ries are the one article of diet selling
this year as cheaply as they did last
spring. Therefore, fresh cherry pie.
comparatively speaking, should come
within the range of cheap dishes, for
the flour and sugar necessary for the
making are but minor quantities in
the creation of the glorious whole,
And so. cherry pie may be added to
the diet Of the moment, thereby saw
ing meat and potatoes and other
staples, for who eats a full meal of
such ordinary things when there is
fresh cherry pie for dessert?
There may be those who don't like
cherry pie, but IL there are we would

thorities as persons under suspicion
of not being good. loyal Americans.
If our boys, when they get to the
front in France, could be assured

fact, caked with mud, coming in, OF
brushed off; going out; bulky, worn
shoes on their feet. battered steel
helmets on their heads, heavy loads
on their backs, and somewhere, al
ways, always the mysterious bundle
for or from home. Some of them
would have girls, some mothers, and
some would be quite alone.
We would have learned to read
their uniforms, and would know
from the symbols on arm and col
lar their military duty, the number
of times wounded, and their length
of service. We would have learned,
too, not to be surprised at seeing
the medals for conspicuous brav-
cry" on the breasts of the ill-nour-
ished, unpromising-lookin ones; we
would know that they might have
assumed command when the last of
ficer had fallen.
If New York were Paris, at 5
o'clock in the evening thousands of
people would be starting to the diff
ferent churches for the daily serv-
ice of songs and prayers for our
soldiers" The scrubwoman and the
woman of fashion, the veteran of
another war, the grimy private re-
turning, the immaculate young Of
ficer starting out, the white-haired
scholar. the mother from the coun-
try come to see her son in the city
hospital, would pray there together.
Glorious heroisms would be lived
in tenements, palaces and flats. A
people would have been caught up
into another sphere of conscious
ness by the inspiration of mighty
sacrifice. becoming supermen and
superwomen in an heroic age.
A few people would remain un-
touched.
But the great army at home, be-
hind the army at the front, would
count its glory commensurate with
its sacrifice. Sometimes, If New
York were Paris, the soldiers weuld
start back to the front with bands;
but oftenest. even when in detach-
ments, not to music and not in
military step. The rich, coveted re-
ward of days and nights of fighting
would sometimes be the saluting of
the flag.
Our soldiers-men and boys
have started for those battlefields.
Choking farewells! Prayers! Faith!
Courage! Victory!
The American Red Cross asks for
100,O00,000 Immediately. 1t is
needed for the Victory.

A COUNTY HOSPITAL

A S was to have been expected,
~ the Health Boards of Harris
burg and Steelton have lost no
time in petitioning the county to
erect and maintain a contagious dis
ease hospital under the provisions of
the Whitaker law recently signed
by Governor Brumbaugh. This
statute permits counties to erect
such hospitals on or adjacent to
poor farms. to be operated under
the direction Of the poor directors
for the benefit of an the people of
the counties in which the institu-
tions are located.
At present the only hospital OF
the kind in Dauphin county is owned
by the city. 1t is an old, obsolete
type of structure that long ago out
lived it's usefulness. Just now Steel
ton is paying the city for the use OF
it II the building were owned BY
the county at large it could be used
by Harrisburg. Steelton or any other
community without conflict of au.
thority. Likewise. the county could
AFFORD to maintain a much better
hospital than the city can. under the
circumstances.
1t is to be hoped that a plan may
be worked out by which a county
hospital can be built.

Pershing in Paris

Joffre came to America and the
country rose to him. Pershing in
Paris is acclaimed as a soldier of
the reticent, unconditional surren-
der, all-summer type. He does not
make the mistake of ascribing to
himself the glory in which he is
least interested. He knows full fell
that he is accepted as the epic figure
of a country which has registered
ten millions of men and subscribed
three billions of dollars to help in
the war-our war. What he wants
most of all Is to get down to busi-
ness-the business of organizing,
forwarding. concentrating toward
the single visualized objective of VIC
tory. A year ago Pershing sat on a
campstool in the quivering, hot dust
of Mexico with the cactus and the
pr.ckly pear for shade trees; in
these days he stands by Napoleon's
tomb where kings have paid their
homage, and kisses the sword of the
Little Corporal before whom the
world trembled. 1t was a replica of
the visit of Joffre to Washington's
tomb; and the voice of the crowd
acclaiming the fighting leader of
America was the echo of the multi
tude greeting the hero of the Marne.
The effect of the demonstration is
only to increase the determination
of our representatives to do his best
for the country and the cause she
has made her own on foreign soil,
which is destined one of these days
to become more precious to us when
ii is red with the blood of many of
our men, following the example of
the Americans who have already
laid down their lives.-Philadelphia
Ledger.

Not the Highest Ideal

But, to speak plainly, peace is not
in itself human ideal. AS long as 1t
leaves unsolved the problem of JUS
tice 1t is not even desirable aspira-
ton. 1t may even be repugnant to
the moral sentiments of an eniight-
ened conscience. 1t is to be desired
only when it is the concomitant of
realized social good, for it is in no
sense an end in itself. But the word
is not to be set aside as representing
a more negotiation, as If it were sim
ply the absence of strife. Peace on
earth would mean the liberation of
human faculties for the highest and
noblest achievements of which hu-
man nature is capable. 1t would
mean a splendid effiorescence of art,
literature. science, philosophy and
religion, in short. culture in Its best
sense. as the spontaneous unfolding
of the powers of personality.-Dav

persuaded the war would be over in
three days. 1t is just as natural for
a native-born American to love
cherry pie as it is for German to
be fond of Limburger and the differ
ence between the qualities of the two
articles of diet in question, unless we
greatly mistake. are somewhat i'll
Illustrative of the differences between
the two peoples. Americans take to
cherry pie as a duck to water, and
while they are willing enough to lay
by generous supply for next winter
they are not going to be denied of
their rightful heritage of June-vint-
age pies, whether the Department
likes it or not. And if this be treason.

GOVERNMENT COAL pool"

r F coal prices can be reduced and
an adequate supply assured for
the coming winter, the govern
nent will be excused for going so
far out of the beaten path as is pro-
posed in the creation of the pro-
posed fuel pool" whereby govern
ment agencies would take over for
the war period the coal mines of
the country and supervise the trans
portation of bituminous coal, anth-
racite and coke, for the benefit of
the consumer, allowing only a rea-
sonable profit to mine operators and
the railroads.
This proposal is not so revolution
ary nor so socialistic as it sounds.
1t is a war measure. England found
it necessary, after numerous costly
experiments, to do precisely what is
suggested for this country. The re-
suits have been satisfactory,
Doubtless great objections will be
raised by the coal operators and the
railroads, and specious arguments
advanced against the plan, but with
the whole conduct of the war de-
pending upon a plentiful supply OF
coal and in the face of extortionate
charges to the consumer, the public
will be inclined to give the govern
ment a fair hearing before being
convinced that it has proposed an
impossible remedy. People in gen.
eral are convinced that they are pay
ing more than a reasonable price for
their coal and they are ready for
almost any step that promises re-
lief.
But, so far as the householder's
problem is concerned, it will not be
solved until the government goes
farther than the operator and the
railroad in its price-regulation pro-
gram The retail dealer needs at
tention, too. He is doubtless a suf-
ferer along with the public in the
matter of prices, but on the other
hand he himself is not beyond re-
proach and as one of the units OF
the coal trade he will require some
supervision
Exemption OF coal miners from
military service will meet with little
or no opposition. The coal miner
is performing his full patriotic duty
in this war when he labors the maxi
mum number Of working days. His
ordinary duties are as fraught with
peril as are many branches of the
military. He is needed more at
home than in the trenches, and at
home he should stay.

"The Roosevelt Rock"

Down in Brazil. where Terpsichore
seems to be trying, out her last word
in steps, they are dancing a new and
thoroughly disconnected dance called
the Roosevelt Rock" which has
found it's way to New York through
Mr.. and Mrs. A. q. De Forez, who are
at the Majestic hotel. Mr.. DeForez is
a banker and disciple of the light
toe exercise.
1t appears that the Oyster Bay ex-
ercise is performed with both parties
to the dance distrusting each other,
after the fashion of late reunion
between the Progressive and Repub-
lican parties. There are no holds.
Each dancer waves his arms, and the
final modern touch is the universal
suffrage note, which makes the man
follow his fair partner. reversing the
usual lead. The step is the good old
one-step. with tango sway.-New
York Herald.

ways, 1t is very liberal in many re-
spects. particularly as to the size
of the creel.
The time has come for a more
rigid conservation of fish in this
state than ever before. Probably
there are more fishermen in Penn
sylvania than in any other State of
the Union. and added to this con-
slant drain on the supply. is the diff
ficulty in fish culture resulting from
the great industrial establishments
of the Commonwealth which line a
majority of its streams. To be sure.
the new code provides against the
pollution of streams and there are
other strict laws on the statute
books, but the State authorities
must hearken quickly to Commits
sioner Buffers repeated requests for
prosecutions il the proposed act is
to count for much in this respect.
The code was drawn evidently
with the thought of preserving game
fish for those who find sport in
angling for them with rod and line.
This is as it should be, for the
streams of the State do not abound
in food fishes and the supply of all
sorts will be exhausted. even with
State hatchery replenishments, If
indiscriminate fishing is allowed by
those who care for nothing but the
number of fish they can take from
the water in a given time.
Most likely the Governor will sign
the code. 1t is to be hoped that he
will.

Working Out the Plan

Now let the elders till the fields, and,
gathering at night,
Prate of the battle fields they knew
and many a CORY fight
Fought breast TO breast and eye to
eye, where hot breath met hot
breath,
When wounded horses screamed and
kicked and men were done to
death,
And hotspurs rode with reins in teeth
and shining saber bare;
OF boys who lay beneath the moon
with bloodclots on their hair,
OF what they heard and saw and felt
in many fierce campaign.
And speak of comrades who came
through, and other comrades slain.
For now the talk is all of strife. Our
boys have gone to War,
| To battle for the self same thing
their grandsires battled for;
They hear the cannon's sullen roar
and see torn earth up toss.
And women fare forth to the fields,
their badge blood red cross,
To help to save the wounded and to
kneel beside the dead;
And mighty engines built by men
fight battles overhead,
And other engines built by man plow
through the seas green deeps.
Or grimly wait where meath its plume
of smoke the dreadnaught sweeps.
For nations of the earth go forth to
kill and kill and kill
GOD moves in a mysterious way, His
wonders to fulfill.
And out of all the warning and the
deaths there shall come peace,
And there shall come a day when
wars forevermore shall cease;
A dav when thrones shall be no more
and nations shall be free,
And hands shall reach for brothers
hands across the land and sea.
Gods plans turn not aside for lives.
Peace shall come back, and when
Peace comes, oh, may God grant our
sons come safely home again.

ton Post.

CROP PEST LETTER
BY Prof. J. G. Sanders, State
Economic Zoologist
SQUASH BUGS

q oUAsH bugs are sturdy
things, which are not effect
~ ed by poisCns and are al
most immune to contact insecti-
cides. If the young plants are
watched carefully and the gray
ish bugs which are almost thee
fourth of an inch long. are cap
tured and killed, the future gen.
Grafton never becomes a serious
pest. Collecting the orange coll
ored egg clusters on the under
sides of the leaves and crushing
them is of material assistance,
especially in the small areas of
the average grower.
When the young squash bugs
are present, spraying with kero-
sene emulsion, or better, 40 per
cent. nicotine sulphate, diIuting
one part in 800 parts water and
adding two pounds of soap to
each so gallons of spraying ma
terial is an effective means of de-
stroy.ng them.
This spraying must be applied
when the bugs are small, or the
bugs Will scatter over the entire
area planted in pumpkins or
squashes aud control will be al
most impossible. Destroying the
old vines in the fall is also of
assistance. The material should
be piled up and left several DAYS
before burning in order to let
alternating individuals, seeking
the protection offered by piles of
old vines, have a chance to Sc
crete themselves within lis
depths.
