has felt all along that the power
and the desire were both there,
that the men were ready at any
moment to do their utmost for the
cause of Poland and that all that
was needed was somebody to gather
these forces together, to unite them
and make them into strong and
powerful whole. That he has done
and that he will continue to do just
as long as the war work needs him.
Some people say that he might
do just as much for his countTymen
by continuing his concert work and
his composing and helping the cause
of Poland through that channel.
That he has already done, that he
has done since the beginning of the
war, but he feels that is not enough.
Nothing is enough at present. A

IN. Paderewski is not alone in
this work. Besides the encourage

at large, from the Poles all over the
country, he is being aided by other
artists of Polish birth who are SINH

TEACH THRIFT
MORE THAN EVER,
DR.. Schaeffer Discusses Ten4
denotes of the Times in the
Annual School Report

School teachers of Pennsylvania
are praised for doing more than
ever before to teach their pupils to
save and are urged to inculcate in
their charges that mems highest as
pirations should not be to fight, but
to work for the welfare of the whole
race, by DR.. Nathan c. Schaeefer,
State Superintendent Of Public In
struction in his eighty-third re-
port of the common schools of
pennsylvania. DIR. Schaeffer re-
marks upon the difficulties caused
by the war, the higher cost. of
things; the disposition to teach chill
dren to hate foreign nations, the de-
mands of industry, the necessity of
caring for the many colored people
who are coming from the Southern
states to work here and the general
disturbance of affairs because of the
great struggle. He gives special at
tention to the vocational e6fIscation
work.
The superintendent says lin part:

Suffice 1t to say that educators
are laying stress upon the teaching
of thrift as never before. Every

can be taught. not merely to save
their pennies. but also to take prop

which are furnished free in all our
schools. Care of public property,
especially school property, will beget
care in the expenditure of the mon
ey that has been raised by taxation
for the support of the Government

Our efforts to secure thrift should be
supplemented by efforts to secure
economy in the management of the

Store Ice; Save Ammonia
During Wars Duration

Such importance is now attached
to ammonia as war commodity
that the odAdministration is plan
ming to effect reduction, II possible,
in It's use for making artificial ice.
Ammonia is widely used for making
ammunition, for cold storage and for
the manufacture of artificial ice.
AS between direct military re-
quirements and the use of ammonia
for Ice making, the Chemical Divi-
sion of the Food Administration full
ly recognizes the pressing need OF
the former, and declares that a re-
vival of natural harvesting on q
large scale will help greatly to re-
lieve the situation. The U. s. De-
partment of Agriculture is also using
its valuable and widely distributed
organization to this end. While it is
important that everyone dependent
on artificial ice be informed of the
situation, dairymen, creamery oper.
ators and others having ice houses
are advised to fill them completely
with natural ice this winter.
Since refrigeration machinery
has come into vogue, there has been
marked tendency to discontinue
the harvesting and storing of nat
ural ice. But as a war measure to
insure plenty of ammonia for mill
tary purposes and at the same time
to be certain of an abundant sup.
ply of ice for preventing food waste,
every owner of an ice house is re-
quested to fill it to the roof this win

Opera is we'll attended in three or

The large attendance is no proof

Because of the high piles of snow
along the curbs of the streets, many
ccal dealers have been forced to give
orders to their drivers to pile the
coal on the pavement and let the con-
sumers carry it into the house. This
measure is necessary owing to the
lack of men to deliver the coal. II

carry the coal to the cellars in bags
when chutes could not be used, but

because we have been rich enough

supported, and have even become
wealthy. While they aroused our

THE SOY BEAN WILL

age, and Soil lmprover-Wilt
Follow Dat Crop.

The soy bean is very valuable
crop to grow at any time. II may be
utilized as money crop" where the
seed are harvested and sold to the
oil mills. It thus contributes to the
food supply. Twenty bushels Of seed
per acre is a reasonably good yield.
and at the present price this yield
would bring a fair profit when the low
cost at which the crop may be grown
Is considered.
Probably the greatest value Of the
soy bean, on the whole, however, ts as
forage crop. When grown for this
purpose 1t should be planted thick in
the row and cut for hay. It makes q
feed almost equal in value to alfalfa
hay. The harvesting period 10 usual
" the latter part Of August or the
first Of September, when fair wealth
er usually prevails. Difficulty Is fre-
qtertiy experienced In obtaining good
seed for planting, and poor stand Of
soy beans is common. 70 guard
against this, the gerninative quality
of the seed should be tested before
planting and the planting should be
done with care. Failure win result II
the land for soy beans Is poorly pre-
pared. The land should be we'll plow-
ed and pulverized. and the seed plant.
ed not more than one inch to one and
one.half inches deep. The planting
may be done up to the middle of July,
and on this account It Ii one Of the
best crops to follow the oat crop. On
poor land the rows should be from
two to two and one-half feet wide, and
on fertile soil from three to three and
one-half feet. Planting should be done
with corn or pea planter and about
onehalf bushel Of seed used per acre.
If properly planted no hoeing should
be required by this crop and It will
need only two or three cultivations.--
